FTP problem solved by Firmware update

When i bought my Airport Extreme in september i was really disappointed: *no ftp connections!* i tried everything, and then discovered (here in discussion) it was a bug in the firmware of the base station.
I solved the problem putting an old pc laptop with IPCOP between the ADSL ethernet modem and the base station.
Last week i did the firmware update of the base station and, FINALLY, the bug was not there anymore.
For me this means two things:
1. i can get rid of the ipcop laptop (saving energy, space, etc)
2. i will again advice everyone to use this base station.
Happy mac user again

maartenada - I have no suggestions to make as regards fixing your apparent problem with port forwarding on the base station. But one thing you could consider doing (if you haven't already disposed of your Linksys router) is to set up your Linksys router again as the router that serves your entire network. Then cable the Base Station to one of the Linksys router's LAN ports, and turn off internet connection sharing on the Base Station turning it into a wired-to-wireless bridge device. I hate to have to say this, but even the oldest and most basic Linksys routers had better features than the one built into Airport Base Stations.

  • Problems with EFI Firmware Update to 1.5 for mid 2010 Mac Pro, and sleep issues

    Hello to the community, I have run into an annoying issue.
    I need to update the EFI firmware on my 8 core mid-2010 Mac Pro. I downloaded the EFI update from the apple website from here : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1321
    But everytime I download it, as I click to install, it gives me the message:
    Alert
    This software is not supported on your system.
    But clearly this is the correct EFI for my computer. I tried burning the Firmware restoration onto a CD from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1320
    But the computer did not respond the way it said it should (with the 3 flashes/beeps etc.) and have the optical drive open for the CD.
    So I'm completely stuck.
    *Also my Mac Pro had issues with sleep, when I put it to sleep, sometimes when I try to bring it back, it restarts itself, and other times, it just turns itself on and the monitor screen remains black, so I have to hit the power button to turn it off then back on again. This only happnens when the computer has been put to sleep for a slightly extended period of time, roughly 20mins +, sometimes longer.  I was trying to solve this problem by first updating the firmware because I think it could be related to that, but I've had this problem with the firmware so I couldn't find out. This is actually the bigger problem for me because it will affect my work. I am currently using an iMac while I fix up this mac pro.
    I'm a music composer so I've upgraded many aspects of my system due to work. I have a 1TB Samsung 840 evo SSD, 2 seagate 2 TB HDD, and 1 WD 1TB HD (the original one in the mac pro), along with 32 GB of RAM. So my only problems are the firmaware and the weird activity when the computer is put to sleep.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Lip Sync Problem AFTER LG Firmware Update on some HD Channels

    I have an LG HDTV, model number 47LH90, and I'm experiencing lip sync issues even after they gave me a firmware update to solve the problem.
    I've noticed the problem appears to be most prevalent on the History HD channel.  Most other channels seem fine now following the firmware update from LG.  Any reason why this is  happening?  I have a couple thoughts to add for Verizon personnel:
    1) The Motorola STB/DVR I have from Verizon let's me choose my output as 720p, 1080i, etc.  It would be nice if it would also allow a pass-through option to just be whatever input the feed is.  For example, sometimes I wonder if this issue is because the DVR is trying to take 1080i input to the STB and convert it to 720p output to the TV, which somehow changes data lengths and results in some lip sync issue.
    2) I have a PlayStation3 that I bought to use mainly as a Blu-Ray player.  The PlayStation Audio/Video to my TV using the HDMI cable works great, with no lip sync on Blu Rays, Hulu, games, etc.  I know this lip sync is sometimes more prevalent on LG TV's, but it would seem to me that if PlayStation's can produce lip sync-free content, surely FIOS can too.  Perhaps they could upgrade their hardware and use the latest standards.
    3) I'm using the same make/quality/length HDMI cables on my PlayStation3 and STB, HDMI 1.3a.
    I would love to see some updates that address this issue as soon as possible.

    We frequently have a similar/same problem but do not have a HDTV or programming. We have a  QIP6416-2 hooked up to a 12 year old Sony large screen TV (we won't buy a HDTV until Verizon gets a better, higher capacity DVR or until out contract is up and we can move on).  Often when we are watching a taped show (we tape almost everything) the sound and picture will get out of sync.  Think bad Japanese movie!  It makes me crazy as I read lips but my husband, although bothered, doesn't want to kill the DVR after a few minutes. We have found, by trial and error, that if we exit the show and then resume play the sound and picture return to normal. It also happens when we rewind on a currently playing show.  It happens almost every time I rewind a long ways (I do this when I watch 2 shows at once).  It is harder to get back in sync when this happens but it sometimes works if I watch and jump forward to be close to live and then jump between shows and only have to rewind a short ways.  I used to routinely watch 2 shows at once but now the aggravation factor makes me either tape everything or just not watch some shows I like.  I posted to let you know that it may not be the LG update and may be the DVR.  Try out my tricks when it happens, and if they work, I would blame the DVR.
    Thanks for the suggestion.  My problem actually seems to go away when the show is recorded versus live, at least sometimes, but not always.  Although, I've found that stopping playback, then resuming, or similar behavior can help the problem as well.  I just want my TV to work without having to throw salt over my shoulder.

  • Mid 2006 iMac Boot Problem (Since latest firmware update)

    I have a Mid 2006 17" iMac. Ever since the latest firmware update in early December, about every other startup I've been having boot problems. After the white screen with the Apple Logo and the spinning wheel it goes to a blue screen like normal, but instead of the 'Loading Mac OS X' white window popping up it stays blue and the spinning loading wheel starts. I've left it loading for quite a while before and nothing changes. I have to do a force shut off by holding the power button. and then I start it up and it will boot normally.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Actually, I think it'san early 2006.

  • Problem with the firmware update...

    Now I have a new problem... I had the Xserve on my intranet so long that when I went to update it and plugged it into the Internet, there seems to be a firmware update. I started the update, and its supposed to come up with a status bar, but so far nothing. It's been 4 hours, and the screen is not getting a signal. I'm afraid that if I turn the system off and the system is actually upgrading the firmware that will mess up the system royally. I'm going to leave it for the next 24 hours, but if it's still sitting there chugging away with the blank screen, I'm going to have to turn it off.
    Have any of you seen this problem? I may try and reset the firmware. I never had these problems until now... it's starting to get aggravating...

    Clearly I have to answer my own questions in the server forums...
    For anyone who may end up with a similar issue and finds this. Your firmware update probably didn't work correctly, download the Apple Firmware Restoration CD. Make sure you find the correct version for your computer, like my version was 1.4.

  • Having problems with SMC Firmware Update 1.8

    I installed the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.8 yesterday and have since experienced a number of problems. I am running a 15 inch, Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, btw. First, after the intial install the sytem would not reboot. I had to do a physical reset of the SMC controller to get the system to power on again (sft-cntl-option-power key sequence). Once the system rebooted, the fan in stuck on high and the battery meter in the controll bar does not show status, just displaying an "X" in the battery.  I went into the Software Update utility and the SMC update is still listed as available, I tried reinstalling it, and the situation has not changed. The fan noice is annoying and I'm aftraid to disconnect the laptop from the AC adapter. Please advise.

  • Sleep problems (even after firmware update)

    Hello
    Previously I was having problems where I would put my Macbook to sleep only to find it an hour later in my bag blazing hot with the fan working overtime.
    The recent firmware update seems to have fixed that problem but it's been replaced by another. What happens now is when I get home and retrieve the Macbook from my bag and open the lid the hard disk makes it's familiar waking up sound but the screen doesn't come back on - and I'm not really sure if the computer has woken up or not - sounds like things are happening inside the metal but no beeps or burps when I randomly press keys / try to make things happen.
    In the end I'm forced to hold down the start up button and force a shut down.
    Anyone else having this? This doesn't seem to happen when I wake from sleep at any other time than when I take the computer from work to home which makes me think it's something to do with maybe my Bluetooth mouse or wireless network?
    This is really frustrating and I'm sure forcing a shut down isn't doing my HD any favors.
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers
    Dom

    I forgot to mention, DenverEagle, some more details.
    My iMac would do the same thing: if it went to sleep, it either just shut down, or restarted, instead. If I turned off sleep, all was OK (for awhile. Eventually it had an episode where I turned it off and it would not start back up. Eventually, it did start back up [after about a day's rest]. That was when I took it in).
    So it might be the same problem I had.
    The software steps I was told to do, in attempt to resolve it, were:
    1) Delete my power settings preferences file, and;
    2) Reset the SMU, and;
    3) Reset the PRAM/NVRAM.
    None helped, but they're easy, so you might try them. I don't think I they have any nasty side effects, but buyer beware.
    I'm a little hazy on #1, and I can't find the tip online, but I think it just involved deleting the file:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    Number 2 is outlined here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
    Number 3 is outlined here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    I took my iMac to the Cherry Creek Apple store, and they fixed it really fast (it was 4 days, including a weekend, IIRC).

  • Problems with z27x firmware update

    I'm trying to update the firmware on the z27x.  I've followed the HP instructions on updating firmware for z27x and the monitor doesn't display instructions to update.  I have the firmware update on a flash drive plugged into the USB port with the dreamcolor logo beneath it.

  • BUG: text rendering problems after keyboard firmware update

    Hey all!
    Just letting you know that today, after installing the keyboard/mouse firmware update 1.0, the font rendering in many applications become weird, letters may overlap, see some screenshots:
    http://artemio.net/tmp/apple/bug1.png
    http://artemio.net/tmp/apple/bug2.png
    My system is iMac Intel Core Duo 17", 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, Mac OS 10.4.6.

    Just to clarify, that was a software update, not a firmware update. I don't think the keyboard has any resident firmware.
    Since this is a new update from Apple, and there have been very few posts about problems after it was installed, (I have seen a couple here) I think that you should call and speak directly with an Apple Customer Service rep. That way Apple knows some have issues with the update and they may have suggestions.
    Let us know what they say.

  • Weird problems after SMC firmware update

    Hi,
    So I have a MacBook Pro bought in July 2007. I installed the new firmware update yesterday and noticed today that my computer gets a lot warmer. If I try to run an application that does more processing, some buttons on my screen turn black, I can't move windows and the backlight starts to flash like crazy giving me a nice disco effect if I turn the lights off.
    /var/log/system.log will show stuff like the following:
    Jun 2 20:33:59 edvard-fagerholms-macbook-pro kernel[0]: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! status = 0xffff info32 = 0x1 = Fifo: Fifo Method Error

    Jun 2 20:34:59 efagerhos-macbook-pro kernel[0]: NVChannel(Display): Graphics channel timeout!
    All my problems started after trying an application written in Java, which seemed to require lot of processing power and made my computer very warm. After this I have also been unable to get my DVD drive to read any DVD. If it turns to be the update, I am pretty ****** of that they release an update that can physically kill a perfectly well working computer. Especially, when it's already out of warranty.
    Does anyone else experience any similar problems?

    I am pretty sure it's the graphics even though the Apple "genius" claimed it wasn't. The genius told me the RAM chips were broken. Ok, so I bought new RAM, the computer booted up, worked for about 30 minutes and the problem came back.
    However, the computer boots up flawlessly to single-user mode by pressing apple-s during boot (even with the old RAM), so I can access the disk and use it as a typewriter in the console... I also coded a poor mans memory tester that allocated memory and wrote random stuff to it, and it worked fine with my old RAM chips. If I try to start the machine normally, then according to the logs, the computer freezes at the exact moment when it's starting up the login screen. If I assume correctly how OS X works, I would suspect that this is the moment it switches from some kind of a video BIOS framebuffer mode into an accelerated mode provided by the nvidia graphics driver.
    I also noticed after using the root console in single-user mode for about 30 minutes (I was making a Linux USB stick to start it through rEFIt, to do some further diagnostics) that the black console background had these faint blue horizontal lines going from the top of the screen to the bottom. This is usually a sign that the graphics chip is busted.
    It seems like it's time to get a new appointment in the Genius Bar.

  • Problems after Superdrive Firmware Update 3.0

    Successfully applied the Superdrive Firmware Update 3.0 on my MBP 15" (Unibody late 2008) and, as advertised it no longer make noise on startup and after sleep. All seems ok, but now it refuse to burn CDs and DVDs. Either using Disk Utility or Toast Titanium or iTunes I constantly get media errors and warnings about trying using a different brand of DVDs and CDs.
    I always used Verbatim media (16x certified DVD) and never had a single problem until now. After some tries I was able to burn a CD using 4x speed, but this was a lucky one.
    Someone experiencing similar problem?
    Thanks

    Very, very strange , deepnoise,
    I've never seen a 'warning" on any Mac OS version suggesting the use of different brands of DVD or CD. To the best of my knowledge , in fact, no such warnings are ever provided by the OS, or by Toast or Popcorn, or other common disc burning software, though sometimes it is certainly worth a try if you have been using cheap media. I very much doubt that such a warning, if it really appeared, was produced by the OS or any regular Mac burning software.
    I'm sorry, but most of the posts in this thread sound like an improbable beat up to me.
    Cheers

  • Problem about SMC Firmware Update 1.7

    So I was browing and suddenly a notification pops up about OSX update. It was about SMC Firmware Update 1.7
    I am using a MBP 15" Late 2011. ( OSX Version 10.8.2 )
    I did clicked update and it asked me to restart. But instead of a restart it automatically logged out. So I logged in and clicked Update and then when it asked me for restart it clicked restart. So now it showed me a Grey screen, the cursor was still there. The cursor was still moving. So I though now this is getting updated but it didn't showed any window of Software update for 20 mins. I assumed it was downloading the update.
    The update is just 1 MB or something and I have a connection of 2Mbps so 10 mins were too long I guess. I had to shut the mbp by holding the power button. after 2 mins I press the power button. it started and showed the window of software update and downloaded it automatically and updated, fans went on full speed as mentioned in the update.
    Now that I check my firmware version. It shows me " SMC Version (system):          1.69f4 "
    My question is shouldn't it be SMC Version : 1.7 ? :|

    That's the right FW version. Apple is all screwy with numbers. There posted FW update 1.7 mean just about nothing.
    If you want to save yourself a few headaches turn off the Auto Update system and then periodically run Software Update. If there are updates look at what they are and you can pick and chose which ones you install. If you don't need it, the system is running fine, there is no good reason to constantly do updates.
    This also give you a chance to look at the support document for the update and do a google search to see if there are any problems being reported.

  • Problem with SMC firmware update.

    I can't seem to run it. Everytime I go to, it never installs. I have a feeling that it has to do with bootcamp. Whenever I restart my computer, it runs Windows (I don't know how to fix that.) so I can't just press restart, I have to actively start OSX.
    I go to install it, my computer starts up, and then the installer pops up again. I press restart, start up the computer, same thing. I've done this 4 or 5 times and the same thing happens everytime. What should I do?

    Sheir,
    Go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and verify that OS X is the Startup OS that is selected for your Mac. If it is not the one selected, select it and restart your Mac a couple of times to verify that it will restart into OS X. If it won't then we need to figure out what is going wrong.
    If it successfully restarts into OS X then go to Applications>Utilities and look for the SMC Firmware Update.app that should have been placed there and trash it. Also trash the SMC Firmware Update.dmg if you have it. I don't think you will because Software Update has been doing the install. Empty the trash.
    Then go to Apple Downloads and manually download a fresh version of the iMac (early 2006) SMC Firmware Update released on 16 MAY 2006.
    Shut down all your other programs except the Finder and Dashboard. Unplug everything from your Mac except your USB keyboard and mouse. Turn off Airport and Bluetooth if they're on.
    Make sure you are completely familiar with the SMC Firmware installation instructions.
    Try to do the install again.

  • Problem with N5800 Firmware Update v 40.0.005

    I have a problem with adding contacts to the home screen contacts bar.
    I recently updated the firmware on my 5800 with the new browser and touch screen functions. When I view contacts normally using the contacts icons everything seems OK and all my contacts are there. However, when I add contacts to the contacts bar on the phone's home screen, the list of contacts the phone pulls up includes a number of entries called "unnamed" which I can not see when viewing contacts normally. In this selection list I am also missing some of my contacts that I can see if I view contacts in the normal way? So I am not able to add these to the contacts bar?
    Anyone have any idea what's going on or a fix?
    Thanks. 

    I am on v 51.0.006 and it gives Handwriting, Mini qwerty and Full qwerty options in Landscape mode...and Handwriting, Mini qwerty and Alphaneumeric in portrait mode...
