Cant Update Firmware - Computer Won't Recognize Classic
I recently installed a 1GB RAM card into my Powerbook g4, and instead of recognizing all my subsequent RAM after installation (1.25 GB) my computer would just recognize 756 MB, or something like that. So after reading discussions, I thought I should update the firmware to fix the problem. Well the firmware update didn't take hold because my mac didn't have classic installed. so I re-installed Classic from my Mac OSX software restore CDS, and in System Profiler it recognizes that OS9.2.2 is now installed. However, when I run the firmware update, it still says "Firmware will not run from OSX. restart from a startup disk with OS9 installed", yet it is. My startup disk is set to my hard drive with OS9 installed on it. So I don't understand what's going wrong. And now my computer is randomly crashing with the dimmed background screen and the error message "You Need to Restart Your Computer". also, my Apple menu option won't even open when clicked - the little menu on the left hand side of the Finder menu bar that lists "About this mac" .. etc.
I've also ran the disk utility and tried to repair and verify the disk, but it says that "Macintosh HD cannot be mounted" or something, and I click on "unmount" and nothing happens.
I would appreciate any insight anyone can offer. I have checked a lot of previous discussion posts but every suggested solution I've tried hasn't worked.Hi, ashAleyP -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Re the firmware update -
In order to run the firmware updater, the machine must be booted to OS 9 - it will not run in Classic while the machine is still booted to OSX. To boot the machine to OS 9, open the Startup Disk control pane (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Startup Disk) and select OS 9 as the boot OS.
It is a good idea to print out the instructions before performing the update.
Note - if your G4 PowerBook is not OS 9 bootable, there is no firmware update for it.

Re the RAM issue -
If I understand correctly, you have one (new) 1.0GB RAM module and one (old) 256MB module, and the machine is recognizing only half of the new module (512MB + 256MB = 768MB net).
This can be caused by more than one thing -
• If your G4 PowerBook is OS 9 bootable, it can not use a 1.0GB RAM module. The largest it can use is 512MB, and the max it can address is 1.0GB. If this is the case, you will need to replace the 1.0GB module with a 512MB module of correct specs.
• If your G4 PB is new enough that it can use a 1.0GB module, the module you received probably does not meet specs for that machine. RAM must meet the specific requirements for each Apple model.

It would help us help you better if you would identify the specific model of your machine. This Apple KBase article can help you do that -

In order to use Disk Utility to repair the drive, you will need to have the machine booted to the OSX Install disk. When the machine is booted to an OS on the hard drive, that drive is in use - and can not be repaired (nor dismounted).

Trying to update firware in a recently acquired 350 MHz slot loading iMac (so I can update the os to 10.3)
I am booting up from the HD, which is running OS 9.1
When I try running the firmware installer, the iMac boots up as usual (no long beep), and I always get the message that the firmware was nor iunstalled.... "review instructions" or cancel.
I am pressing in the developer button, but wondering if it is actually working! (I am not pressing the reset button by mistake)
Are there any key combinations I can use instead of trying to press in the button? Any other suggestions?Thanks for the advice!
I have updated the system to 9.2.2, and still have thew same problem.
Starting up in Open Firmware gives the following message:
Apple PowerMac2, 1 2.4f1 BootROM Built on 02/18/00 at 09:44:35
Just to give a little more detail..... Following the instructions on the firmware upgrade (restarting while holding in the developer button) results in the usual start-up chime, after which the Mac quickly restarts, chimes again (normal start-up chime) then proceeds to boot as normal.
Once it has booted up, the firware installer tells me to review instructions & try again..... very frustrating! Any help gratefully received -
Basically I am trying to update my n95 to the latest firmware. I have installed Nokia Suite and it detects my phone and is connected to it. I have installed Nokia Software Updater and it just refuses to detect the device. This is the first time ive uninstalled both and reinstalled. I have tried loading NSU by itself and it doesnt detect it.
How to fix this?Hi there.
I had the same problem as you with my 5230, here's what did the trick for me.
1st. When updating on the phone make sure you are using the WAP and not the GPRS... That probably isn't the case for you but I just wanted to be sure.
I had tried updating on the phone and on OVI/PC suite but nothing worked after several tries and re-installs.
I then thought that maybe the problem was with the network I was using, so I put a sim from a another phone I have that's on a different network and BOOM it worked, got it updated in about 10 minutes.
If you don't have another SIM you can easily buy a manual top up/prepaid one or even borrow it from a friend.
I know it sounds like a long shot but it worked for me.
Best of luck. -

Yep, that was the issue. Didn't know there was an admin user too. Guess I needed to start at the first page of the guide instead
of going to the backup/upgrade part of it. Figured that out and came here to delete my thread, but couldn't b/c you already replied. You guys are fast!

Cant update firmware on SRP 527w?
I'm trying to update the firmware on my SRP 527W, but there is nowhere in the GUI to do this. According to the admin guide, I'm supposed to be able to go to Administration --> Firmware Upgrade to do this. Only thing I have under administration is Time Setup and Switch Setting.
How am I supposed to upgrade this thing?
This is the guide I've been using from your site. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/srp520_series/srp521w/administration/srp500_admin.pdfYep, that was the issue. Didn't know there was an admin user too. Guess I needed to start at the first page of the guide instead

Hi,
Has anyone got any speed test results from the new 4 core single 2.8ghz Mac Pro yet?
All the test i can find are forr the 2.8ghz standard 8 core model.Strange that you ask this...They just put this on the Macworld site a day or so ago. I hope this helps you.
http://www.macworld.com/article/131782/2008/01/macprobench2.html
The quad core 2.8 looks pretty strong. It beats the previous 2.66, and stacks up well with most tasks. -
hi , i cant update mi ipod touch software, a soon as the download process in finished an error message appears :" session time has expired" something like that
Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves a network timeout error.

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
Take care,

How can i remove my credit card from app store, the none option its not there and i don't Owen nothing to apple, my last in app purchase was in clash of clans, please help!!! Because of that problem i cant update my apps! Plz help!!!!!
You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
my credit card was stolen,since i cncelled and waiting for a replacement i cant update any apps or dl any apps because the billing info says its incorrect now,how can i update and dl while waiting for my new card?
It would be best for you to open iTunes, sign in and view your account. If all the purchases were paid already instead of entering your new card information, it will give you an option for "NONE" as a payment method. Again this is not applicable of you have a pending charges with iTUnes
