G5 firmware update in leopard?

I have a first generation dual 2ghz G5 that still has the 5.0.x firmware. I assume it is the orig. I went to update it to 5.1.4f0 but it gave me a permission error on the directory it tried to write to. What are my options here?
Thanks

Hmm. I would have thought that any G5 to which that firmware update applied - that was delivered much after the release date, December 15, 2003 - would have it already installed.
This G5 is April 2004 and has 5.1.5f0 - think I once tried the 5.1.4 updater - when someone asked a question about it - but firmware updaters usually state 'you don't need it' or words to that effect, if it's not required. As far as I recall this G5 has always been on 5.1.5f0
If you are getting random freezing with 10.5.2 then I think I would post another question with that as the title - and as much detail as possible of when and how it happens.
It could be the firmware, I suppose - but the full details may point to another cause. There may be hints in Applications > Utilities > Console - system.log at around the time of the freeze, for instance. Good Luck.

  • Constant firmware updates on Leopard

    For some reason, my macbook (running 10.5.3) constantly asks me to update my EFI Firmware. When I say constantly, I mean once, sometimes more, a week. I always install it, and it always says that it was installed successfully, but for some reason, it keeps popping up.

    I wonder if Nokia are planning to release a "over-the-air" update for this phone? It's a pain that the update process requires such particular software.
    I believe v4 of the firmware is downloadable via OTA. It may be network/firmware dependant though. It does mean you'll have to pop along to the local Nokia shop for this update or follow the instructions above.

  • Recent firmware update prevents Snow Leopard downgrade?

    I need Snow Leopard for my work, and will continue to need it for at least a year. Apple online chat was unable to confirm whether refurbs currently in the pipe would ship with SL or Lion, regardless of age. They basically indicated that my chances were about 50/50.
    After reading user accounts of how to downgrade from Lion to Snow Leopard, I went ahead and purchased a refurb February 2011 15" 2.2GHz MacBook Pro from the Apple store. Sure enough, when the machine arrived, it was loaded with Lion.
    I ran Software Update to make the OS current, backed it up via Time Machine, and then proceeded with the re-format/SL installation process. However, Snow Leopard would not install using any of the commonly described methods, and the symptoms were consistent with trying to load it onto a post-July 2011 machine.
    After a couple of tries, I got a 'phone support agent on the line, who advised that when I ran Software Update, it loaded a recent firmware update that locks the machine down. He was evasive at first, but eventually confirmed that the machine was downgradeable when I received it, but was now effectively a Post-Lion machine, and could no longer be returned to it's as-shipped condition. He indicated that my only option was to return the machine for a refund.
    I have a local independent repair facility looking into the situation at the moment, but they are pessimistic.
    I was unable to find out when Apple first issued the new firmware load via Software Update, but I understand that people were still successfully downgrading to Snow Leopard as recently as December, 2011.
    Assuming that the information I received from Apple is correct, they have closed the door on further Snow Leopard downgrades, at least on the MacBook Pro. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

    Apple is getting a lot of calls from people wanting to downgrade to Snow Leopard for several reasons, like that Lion is terrible and/or they need to run software that hasn't been updated or is avaialble on Lion.
    Firmware updates apply to the machine itself, so it if's running Snow Leopard it gets the same firmware updates as a Lion machine.
    I'm not ruling out the possibility that a change is preventing you from installing Snow Leopard on a compatible machine, however like to explore the possibility that you've used the wrong disk to do so.
    You can't use the 10.6.3 white disk to install Snow Leopard. Early 2011 machines that came with Snow Leopard came with their own disks and hardware drivers that are not present on the 10.6.3 white disks.
    Since your Mac is Snow Leopard capable, try calling Apple again and just say you need replacement Snow Leopard disks for your Early 2011 Mac.
    If that isn't a option, you migh want to explore the "Procedure" of combining 10.6.3 with the 10.6.8 Combo Update, which when burned to disk, produces a bootable disk to install 10.6
    Explore the links and info on this old thread written for the Early 2011-Mid 2011 period
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3264421?start=0&tstart=0
    Another option is to get into contact with another Mac user who bought a Early 2011 Snow Leopard Mac of your exact make and model, get a copy of their disk.

  • Most recent imac firmware update resets operating system back to snow leopard

    I bought this computer when Lion was just coming out, so it still had the snow leopard OS. I have upgraded to Lion OS and updated all my software. This evening I get notice of a firmware update and iPhoto 9.2.1. I just did the install, and my computer is back to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just tried the Lion recovery disk I made on a USB not too long ago and that does not launch, and my Time Machine backup is showing the state it was before I upgraded to Lion.
    Do I have to do everything over again? App store is showing that I have a Lion 10.7.2 available update.

    OK I think I figured out what happened. Before I did do the lion OS update I had partitioned my hard drive, so that I still had a small section for snow leopard. I think the firmware update lost the fact that I had my startup disk set as the Lion one and set me back into the snow leopard one. I just booted into the Lion section and everything is still there, so no data lost.
    Now that I have done with using snow leopard, I might as well departition the hard drive, and maybe this won't happen again.

  • Downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update?

    Can I downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after having applied the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0? This firmware update requires OS 10.5.2 or higher to be installed. Now that it is installed can I downgrade back to Tiger (10.4.11)?
    I have a MacBook Pro 17 (late 2006). It ran perfect except for the occasional ignored first key press problem that these MacBook's have. In late December I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.6) and installed the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 that is suppose to fix the ignored first key press problem. Ever since then I have had constant keyboard & trackpad failures. When the built-in keyboard fails, thankfully I can still use an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. I've tried everything. I've reinstalled Leopard four separate times, reset PRAM, reset SMU, repair permissions, pressure on the keyboard cable under the battery (even though I don't think this version of the MacBook has that problem). Nothing restored my internal keyboard and trackpad. During this process I tried to re-install the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update using the original package file that I had downloaded, however I was given a message that the keyboard didn't need to be update because it already has the updated functionality and the installer package would then quit. Then I remembered that the original firmware update actually installed a Keyboard Firmware Update application in my Utilities Folder. When I ran the Firmware Update application in the Utilities Folder it instantly fixed my keyboard problem! Unfortunately the keyboard fix is not stable. It fails 2 to 3 time a week. Running the Keyboard Firmware Update application fixes the problem every single time, but this renders my MacBook useless as a portable (I have to have an external keyboard/mouse to run the Firmware application). I have, incidentally, tried all the other suggestions in the many keyboard threads in this forum (putting the computer to sleep, restarts, shut downs, PRAM & SMU resets, repairing permissions, running other applications, etc.), and nothing works except reinstalling the Keyboard Firmware Update using the application in the Utilities Folder. At this point I just want to downgrade to Tiger and go back to the way it was. I'll happily take the ignored first key press problem over a completely dead keyboard.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how you were able to get the macbook to accept the update? I had to take mine to apple store and get entire keyboard and trackpad replaced in my macbook. They then told me to ignore the update cause they did not have any other keyboards to replace if it happened again.

  • Macbook 2008 4,1 serious problems after 10.6.8 and 1.4 firmware update

    I'm having a problem with my 2008 2.4Ghz Macbook. After doing a fresh install of 10.6.0 with a Retail DVD, the MB was working perfectly, absolutely no problems at all. I then ran Software Update and installed all the recommended updates to 10.6.8, and I only noticed in passing that there was a Firmware update to do too, as reported by Software Update. I ran that as well and, IIRC, it was applied after fully updating to 10.6.8 and after rebooting twice. The MB rebooted, ran the Firmware update (which seemed to complete fine, as the progress bar completed normally against the grey screen), then rebooted. Again, IIRC, after running the Firmware update, and I'm now at 10.6.8, I started a Repair Permissions and left the MB for a while. It was the next day, maybe 15 hours later, when I went back to the MB and it was in Sleep. I pressed a key to wake it and this is when the weirdness started.
    The screen was "fuzzy", sort of out of focus, though I could see the desktop, and what I could see was: the Disk Utility window open on Repair Permissions (which had completed normally) and several Vertical Segmented Bars running across the bottom part of the screen, at about the height where the Firmware Update progress bar was. These bars were filling in from left to right. IIRC, it may have looked a little like when you wake from Deep Sleep (or Hibernate, or whatever it was called). Like when you Wake from Sleep after the battery has run out and then you plug the AC adapter in.
    Anyway, before the Vertical Segmented Bars progress was completed, the screen went black. Pressing keys didn't bring the desktop back.
    I did a forced shutdown, reset the SMC, then rebooted. No startup chime. The Superdrive, hard drive and fans spun up, but the screen remained black. After a few reboots, I got a desktop back, and tried to reinstall from both an external HD (with Restored disk image) and the Retail Snow Leo DVD. Both times, the MB booted to the startup screen: with the external HD, I held down Option and chose the Snow Leo install; with the DVD, the MB started normally while I held down the C key. The boot started from the HD and the DVD, but after about 60 seconds, with Apple logo and the spinning "cog wheel", the screen went black. And seemed to shut down. With the external FW hard drive, the drive made a loud click, its LED went off, then it came back on after a few seconds, as if it had lost all power to it, then the LED lit up when power returned to it from the shut down MB. Anyway, the installs failed.
    I then attached the 2.4 MB to another MB (2.1) in Target Disk Mode and it booted fine into TDM. It showed up on the 2.1's desktop, I ran Check Disk and it checked out okay. I then looked under Startup Disk and the 2.4's disk was listed there, with 10.6.8.
    I then booted the 2.1 from the 2.4's disk and it booted fine. I ran check Permissions, and a huge list of permissions to repair came out. At this point, I've left things as they are. The 2.1 is booted from the 2.4, the latter used as external boot HD.
    I then replaced hard drive and RAM. Tried to boot from DVD and install, got to Apple logo and spinning cog wheel, but after about 2 minutes the screen went black.
    I then connected an external monitor and rebooted from the DVD. The external display received a video signal and I got to the Snow Leopard install screen. All this time the Macbook display has remained BLACK.
    I went to Disk Utility and reformatted the new drive, then started the installation, which completed fine. The Macbook runs normally connected to the external display.
    Any thoughts?
    Why would the Macbook display work fine at boot (Apple logo, etc.), but then cut out after about 2-3 minutes?
    Why would the Macbook screen remain black while I got a video signal on an external monitor?
    Does this sound heat-related in some way? I should note that while booting from the DVD and now installing Snow Leopard, the fans are going pretty fast.
    I just want to point out that this was an absolutely pristine, impeccable Macbook until these recent problems. It is in fantastic condition, none of the usual chips out of the top case and trackpad area. After the latest fresh install of 10.6.0 it was perfect upon reboot. Fast, perfect Airport and Bluetooth, FW and USB worked perfectly with a FW drive and USB mouse I hooked up. The update to 10.6.8 via Software Update seemed to complete fine.
    Then all the problems started AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.
    I don't know how much stock can be put in the firmware update being the cause of the problems, but the sequence here would bear that out. These are also somewhat unusual problems, at least in my experience.
    One of the odd things was when I first went to wake the Macbook after the firmware update: the "fuzzy", out-of-focus screen and the segmented progress bars. And it was just before the segmented bars completed progress from left to right that the display cut out and went black. And from that time on, I've had the aforementioned problems.
    Any ideas or links to similar problems would be greatly appreciated, e.g. possibly firmware related, or where the Macbook screen works but goes black after a couple minutes. And now that I've been able to connect to an external monitor, it would seem that the video signal is okay too.
    Thanks.

    Just to update.
    After leaving the Macbook unplugged and without battery for a few days. I reset the SMC and, with no battery installed, I've just now rebooted and:
    1) the first time, it booted, but no chime, and when the display turned on, once again I got the "out of focus" desktop AND the segmented vertical bars on the desktop (and the bars were filling in from right to left); the display went black after about 10-15 seconds;
    2) I shut down and swapped some different RAM, then reset the SMC again and booted without battery. This time I got the boot chime and the Macbook booted to the Apple logo screen and spinning cogwheel. After about 2 minutes, the cogwheel stopped spinning, as if to boot to the desktop, but then the display went black. The front light started to pulse after about 10 seconds, and the Macbook appeared to be in Sleep.
    3) I woke the Macbook from sleep by hitting a few keys and this time it went to the desktop. This is the first time it's gone to the desktop since the problem started.
    I had enough time to see that everything appeared normally on the desktop, such as the time and date, Airport was connected, etc. And then the display went black again, after about 10 seconds.
    At this point, I can now always get to the desktop, but the display goes black after about 10 seconds. I have just enough time to press a few keys and the Macbook does respond.
    4) I shut down and reinserted the battery. Here's where new problems show up.
    With the battery inserted, and the Macbook in sleep, if I hit a key, the DVD spins up as the Macbook is waking, BUT now the front sleep indicator light FLASHES (blinks) 5 TIMES. No beeps.
    The Macbook still gets to the desktop, like before, and the screen goes black after 10 seconds.
    I found some info on the Apple site re. 5 flashes (Article 21502):
    If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such as an Apple Retail Store.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article below.
    You can continue using your computer before you service the battery. Use a different battery, or connect the computer’s power adapter and plug it into a power source.
    Note:If you use your computer without a battery or with a faulty battery, you could lose all unsaved changes if it’s unplugged while it’s on.
    BUT, the battery is not defective, as it works okay in another Macbook.
    I should also point out that the problem with the 5 indicator light flashes or with the battery did not exist before the 10.6.8 and the Firmware 1.4 updates.
    Any ideas?

  • Seagate external drive not recognized since firmware update

    I've looked through the posts here and haven't found this issue addressed specifically, so here goes. Any help will be appreciated.
    I ran the firmware update on my MacBook Pro the other day, and everything has been normal since, except when I went to switch on my Seagate external HD - which I use as a backup drive - this morning. The mac doesn't see it at all.
    Brought the drive into the office this morning and the iMac here, which hasn't been updated in at least 6 months, sees the Seagate right away.
    I haven't upgraded to Leopard, though I have it, becuase I'm in the middle of a project and don't want any trouble with ProTools. In fact, I hadn't been making any updates at all, but in a moment of weakness ran the firmware update!
    Thanks in advance.

  • Need to do a clean install after firmware update

    i have to reinstall os x after the firmware update.
    it wont boot up just sticks on the grey logo and sinny thing.... grrrr
    will it be ok just to archive and install just leopard instead of tiger, then disc 2(the apps) then leopard??

    After installing the recent keyboard firmware update, my iMac G5 refused to boot past the grey apple screen, too. Got the spinning paddle, but multiple hard shutdowns and restarts failed to get it past that point.
    I ended up booting the Leopard Install DVD and tried to reboot into my backup, a Superduper clone of the drive. Wouldn't do it -- got the same result.
    Used Disk Utility (on the Leopard DVD) to repair the disk/permissions. The only significant repair was this:
    permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log," should be -rw-------, they are -rw-r-----.
    Now, I don't know what that means, but maybe it's relevant.
    I rebooted -- and still was unable to get past the grey screen. I tried repairing permissions a second time (and nothing unusual came up) and it still failed to fix the startup problem.
    Ultimately, I was forced to do an archive and install of Leopard, which then allowed me to boot successfully.
    Really disappointing -- this is the kind of thing I expect Windows users to have to deal with, not us.

  • Firmware update progress bar appears and computer won't start up

    Hi,
    I am on OS X 10.6 (the latest developer build, whose build number I can't remember and can't look up because my computer won't start up) and this morning when I tried to start up my computer, it chimed, the apple appeared but then a grey progress bar (like the one that appears during a firmware update) appeared at the bottom of the screen along with the customary spinner. This progress bar didn't update and after 10-ish seconds, it disappeared and left just the spinner. I left the computer in this state for 4 hours and nothing happened. It still starts up in single user mode (but I can't seem to get Open Firmware mode to load) and it starts Windows XP on another partition of my main HD.
    When I start it in verbose mode, it says that my catalog B-tree has keys out of order and it is unable to repair them. Also, I get an error message from launchctl: "Bug: launchctl.c:2033 (23930):17: auditquickstart() == 0". Then later on it tells me to convert a few system plist files to launchd (all in the /etc/mach_init.d/ folder). The very last line says "launch_msg(): Socket is not connected".
    I would rather not re-install the system, but if I have to, I guess I will. I appreciate any light that anyone can shed on this problem.
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Yes, they (the third-party utilities) both come on bootable DVD's. As I mentioned, since Snow Leopard was just released in its final version, the developers may be in the process of releasing updates.
    Your situation is likely to be a case where the data corruption issue already existed before installing Snow Leopard, and the installation process made the problem more apparent (because something critical was installed where it was affected by the data issue).
    It is a good idea to run +Repair Disk+ in Disk Utility on the startup volume before installing a major system update. Actually, I do it before any system-level update.
    You should also have a backup (at least of your personal data if not the entire volume), in case something bad happens during a major system upgrade. If you were using Time Machine, the easiest recovery would be to reformat the internal drive and use the Time Machine complete volume restore utility to restore the volume back to the date/time state just before you installed Snow Leopard. Then, after restarting from that restored volume to make sure everything is working, start up from the Snow Leopard installation disc, run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk+ (just to be sure), and run the upgrade to Snow Leopard again.
    If you have a backup of at least your personal data, you may want to reformat the internal drive, install Snow Leopard and bundled apps, install your third-party apps from their original sources, update everything that needs updating, and restore your personal data.
    If you don't have a backup, the best bet is to try either DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro. DiskWarrior is very specialized into repairing this type of data problem. TechTool Pro has similar capability, but it is a more general tool with other features.

  • MacBook Keys not working even after KeyBoard Firmware update

    My friend's sister bought me a MacBook from the US last October. Fortunately, Apple announced the release of Leopard also on the same month and I got a free upgrade to leopard. I installed leopard about 3 months back. My keyboard was working fine when I had Tiger installed. After I installed Leopard, I remember installing a Keyboard firmware update once through the Software Update.
    About two three weeks back, my MacBook started acting wierd. Some keys were not working (mostly 't', 'q', left shift, left command, zero which is not working even now. I couldn't close the last bracket because the key is not working. I am a php programmer and I can't think of living without the closing bracket and zero keys . But most of the keys works on and off.
    After seeing on several sites that it is a problem with firmware, I once again downloaded the firware update, but couldn't install it since the installation wizard says that my system doesn't need it.
    Can someone plz tell me what to do now? Will reinstalling help?
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem persists everytime I restart my system or wake it up from sleep. But each time different keys have problem. I am now downloading update 10.5.4. Can someone plz help me?

  • Stability issues after installing the Java SE 6 update on Leopard

    Hi, I have my macbook pro freeze once and not properly wake up from sleep twice after opening the lid within the last two days, and this started happening after I installed the Java SE 6 update over the weekend. In the case of freeze, I had to to a hard reboot. In the other two cases, the macbook comes alive after opening the lid but the display stays blank. I need to close the lid and open a few more times to have the display come back on. In all the cases, I was running Word 2008, which has its own set of bugs (esp. with the spaces), but I wasn't experiencing this before the Java update. I have all the other updates installed as well (including the Safari update last week, the latest Office 2008 update of March, and the EFI firmware update a couple weeks ago).
    Does anyone have the same problem? Also, the jittery mouse pointer problem after wake from sleep, which used to occur occasionally since I first upgraded to leopard, seems to occur a lot more frequently now. The only solution to get the mouse pointer back to normal is a restart, which is quite annoying.

    Hi again, I found a solution to the nested folders problem. Apparently this was not due to Java... It was just a folder replicating itself over and over again. Still don't know the cause, but searching with Google I found this:http://forums.macnn.com/54/unix/156870/nesting-of-folders-problem/
    The command allowed me to find the folder and subsequently trash it. Everything seems to be fine right now. The disc utility does not report the "exceeded the recommended limit of 100 " error.

  • 4GB upgrade now needs Firmware update - how?

    Just updated my 15' Macbook Pro unibody (bought early 2009 - so maybe late 2008 model?) 2.4Ghz.
    My MBP now seems slow? even though the RAM seems to be recognised (from Crucial) as :
    4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    I spoke to cruical about the memory and they said that sometimes it may need a "Firmware update" after installing RAM?? - Can anyone give me steps on what or how this is done?? is it under 'software update'?
    I am still on 10.5.8, and thinking of backing up and re-installing a full 10.6.4 and moving up to Snow Leopard.
    Would this cure it, and maybe update the firmware in the same instance?
    Thanks for any help!

    Poor computer performance is one of the symptoms of bad RAM, a great first step is to run the end-user diagnostic called the Apple Hardware Test (AHT), as detailed in your MacBook Pro manual, and also by removing the RAM and checking performance when running the laptop with the RAM supplied by Apple.

    Firmware for the MacBook Pro is obtained via software update or by download from the Apple Support Website.

    Moving to Snow Leopard is a good move generally, but it won't solve a hardware issue such as bad RAM.
    Would this cure it, and maybe update the firmware in the same instance?
    It is always advisable to run the latest version of OS X and firmware on your Mac.
