G4 Quicksilver and Firmware 4.2.8

It looks like Quicksilvers don t need to be upgraded to firmaware 4.2.8
I am wondering where can I check the firmware number.
The system profiler tell me about the Boot ROM Version:4.2.5f1
But I don t know if it is the firmware.
If it is not, where can I check it?
If it is, it looks like I need to upgrade right?
Thanks

Hi, Michael -
There is only one firmware update for G4 QuickSilver models, and it is for those with a CD-RW optical drive. If needed, it can be downloaded from this Apple KBase article -
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120029
Firmware updates are generally fail-safe - if one does not apply to a model, or is unneeded because the firmware is already up to date, the installer will state that and refuse to run any further.

Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware

Hiya,
I recently bought a new Macbook Pro,it is Mac OS X version 10.4.8, i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)?
I also tried to install MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2, however it says the computer doesn't need to install it. And I checked my Boot ROM Version is MBP22.00A5.B00. After the update it should be: MBP11.0055.B08 (MacBook Pro 15 inch). So I don't know what to do?
please help!
Thanks.
Catherine

"Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware"
You don't "need" to install anything. If you think you can benefit from the updates then go ahead.
"i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)? "
If it came with 10.4.8 preinstalled, then you do not need to install it.
"So I don't know what to do?"
Nothing. If it says the update isn't needed, then it's already been applied at the factory.

Turned on fileVault AND firmware password, can't boot into verbose mode?

Just out of curiousity, I turned on fileVault AND firmware password on my retina macbook pro,
and when I boot up holding command-v, instead of getting the firmware password screen, I get the filevault password screen.
Is this normal and expected behaviour?

The firmware password disables that shortcut; verbose mode can still be used by using the Terminal to change the NVRAM boot arguments, which requires an administrator password.

Hi, I would like to buy a power mac G4 quicksilver and install the latest hardware i.e. i5, SSD etc., is this possible?

Hi, I would like to buy a power mac G4 quicksilver and install the latest hardware i.e. i5, SSD etc., is this possible?

Intel i5 processor upgrade? No way, no how with the OEM PPC board.
The "Latest" hardware that can be used with the original G4 motherboard is imited to used 7445/7447/7448 3rd party processor upgrades (all obsolete), PCI expansion, AGP graphics (only used as all are obsolete), new IDE drives (capacity support dependant on model year) and PC133 memory.
SATA and SSD can be used, but only with PCI SATA controllers or the specially configured IDE modded SSD from OWC.
PCI controllers will get you about SATA 1 data rates. The adapted SSD on IDE won't get beyond 60 MB/s.
You could use the case and put a mini ITX or micro ATX board in to support the i5. Of course you could then run Windows 7. If you want to run OS X, discussion ends here and begins your use of Google and searching for "x86" and "Hackintosh".

Should I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 on my iPod?

Should I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 on my iPod because it seems alot of people are having problems especially with the firmware on their iPods.

I am running a Mac and my iPod is experiencing the lock-up that others have reported here.
The update to iTunes 7 as well as to firmware 1.2 for iPod went smoothly and the iPod reboot as part of the firmware upgrade completed successfully. However, I then attempted to eject the iPod and found that the "Do Not Disconnect" screen was frozen on the iPod. I waited for a while but it was frozen - wasn't blinking.
I have reset the iPod numerous times only to find that it freezes shortly after the reset. I have been able to connect it to my MacBook right after a reset and it does seem to sync but I can't eject it successfully - always freezes while connected. Because of this consistent freezing I am unable to attempt a restore on the iPod.

Will solve Apple the iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 problems?

Hello.
Does Apple know the iTunes 7.0 and firmware 1.2 (iPod video 60Gb) problems?.
(i.e. iPod keeps freezing after a few seconds ever since you updated to iTunes 7 and/or iPod software ver. 1.2.)
Will solve Apple this problems?. Perhaps a New version?.
Thanks.

Don't worry, they started getting aware of those problems for sure.
Give them the time to fix that (I presume during this week).

John, to answer your question I'd need to know if you're seeking firmware for your Express or your Extreme, and which model of each you have.
The correct firmware for an "older" Express is version 6.3. Use Airport Utility to install it.
If your "old AirPort" is a Graphite or Snow model, you need to use AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5

WHERE IS CREATIVE SUPPORT AND FIRMWARE FOR THEIR PRODUCTS???????

@WHERE IS CREATIVE SUPPORT AND FIRMWARE FOR THEIR PRODUCTS??I swear I can't believe Creative is getting away with what they are doing. I can't tell you the amount of people that are infuriated with this company. Creative seems to be more concerned with releasing a hundred versions of the same type of mp3 player instead of supporting the mp3 players they've already released. I have owned multiple Creative products including soundcards and mp3 players. The lastest one- the Creative X-FI(with wireless lan) is one of the glitchiest players I've ever owned yet their last firmware update was 2 years ago- 2 YEARS!!
!!! I've had it with this ridiculous company. They would be the envy of Apple if they could only get their customer support together instead they'd much rather watch their customer base slowly evaporate.
Dave

I TOTALLY agree. Not only does their product support blow, so does their customer support. I can't find anywhere to contact these people regarding my warranty return status. I have typed the RMA info in for 3 days now and all I receive is an internal error! WTF :angry:
The contact us link is just another link back the same options on the page. SO "contact us" really means "Good luck clicking around in a circle until you give up." I really hope that they send me my product back, lord knows I can't track its status anymore.
This will be the LAST thing I ever purchase from Creative until I've heared that they have gotten their act together.

Xcode and firmware update problem

Hi all,
i've been working on my app for a few month now and i have about two more weeks until i finally submit it. everything went very good during development.. untill -
by ACCIDENT i've upgraded my firmware to 3.1.2
since my OS is 10.5.7, as i understand, i must install xcode 3.2.1. but this version also needs mac OS 10.6
so it's realy frustrating for me...
do i need now to upgrade/purchase OS 10.6 and also my xcode environment in order to continue working ?
can't i make a rollback to other firmware version supported by my current 3.1.2 xcode ?
i've searched the net endlessly and just couldn't find anyway to downgrade my firmware (i have a 5.11.7 baseband and 6.2 bootloader)
please...
any help ?

GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
. While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.

Brother HL-3170CDW won't print in color, has poor print quality. I have downloaded drivers, and firmware from Brother with no success.

Just received this printer, and am unable to have any success with it printing in color. I have downloaded drivers, and firmware from Brother that are for OSX 10.9. Also, the print quality is quite poor. Any suggestions what I should be looking for to resolve this? I feel like I am back in the 90's with Windows 3.1!

You need to go to the brother website and download the driver for your printer. I had the same problem, and resolved it just now. The driver for this particular printer is not a good match for any of the preinstalled printer drivers on os x.

G4 Quicksilver and OS 10.3.9

I have the G4 Mac "Quicksilver" and I am currently at OS 10.3.8. Diskwarrior says it needs 10.3.9 for me to install it (It works fine if you boot from the CD).
I've been told that 10.3.8 is as high as this machine will go. Can I get to 10.3.9? I'm pretty sure 10.4 is out of the question.

Rich, I have several clients running 10.4.9 on Quicksilver G4's. Just bump up the ram to 1.5 gigs.
If you stick with Panther, the final update to 10.3 is 10.3.9 and it is a good one, you should do it. The Quicksilver can certainly handle it!
