Graphics firmware upgrade not working

Hi, I have a 24" iMac 2008 it requires a graphics card upgrade for installing windows 7 i have 10.7 lion running, but it says on checkingavailable disks that it cannot be installed on this disk as it needs 10.6  any ideas the update says 10.6 or later

I see where you are making an error, the advice letter you pointed to refers to:
Download and install the Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 if you run Microsoft Windows 7 using Boot Camp on your iMac (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT) or Mac Pro (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT or Quadro FX 4500) computer.
The early 2008 iMac uses the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 memory per
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP485
Therefore your system does NOT need the graphics update you're attempting to download.

  • WRT350N firmware upgrade not working

    Hi, I've just been given an unused WRT350N router.
    I've had a few problems getting it setup on my MAC (OSX 10.5.6), but it transpired they were problems using Firefox which were resolved when I started using Safari. However, I still have one outstanding problem with upgrading the firmware....
    I want to upgrade the firmware from the original 2.0.10 to the latest available of 2.0.19. I have downloaded this from the Support page, which gives me a readme text file and a .IMG file which i presume is the firmware file (all instructions I have found imply it should be a .BIN file)
    I have connected my router to the MAC using a wired connection and followed the firmware upgrade instructions (selecting the .IMG file), followed the rest steps (including using the hardware reset button, and the software factory defaults option), but when the router comes back up it still says its at firmware 2.0.10.
    I get no error messages, and have noticed that at the end of the upgrade it does NOT display the "Upgrade is sucessful, rebooting.." message.
    I have been through this several times with same results. Any ideas please ?
    Thank in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have this same problem now with firmware for  WAG54GS   the zip file produces a  .IMG file after running winzip
    This file is not acceptable to the firmware upgrade as a .BIN file.
    The firmware is expecting a .bin format.   It does not like this .IMG file.  
    The documentation all refers to .bin.     
    Just renaming the file as .bin causes the linksys to abandon the upload.
    I am on a Windows XP.       .BIN is UNIX/LINUX terminology.    Do I have to do the firmware upgrade on Linux?
    Tried to get some software to checkout the   .img file but nothing likes it.
    WAG54GSv1-E1-AnnexB-ETSI-ML-1.01.05-code.img  is what my winzip gets. 
    What am I supposed do with this file to get it into the right shape for the     WAG54GS?
    It wants   .bin file    not this?

  • New Creative ZEN Firmware 1.21.03" firmware does not work

    >New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work This new "Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03, Filesize : 7.6 MB" firmware does not work.
    All I get is : "Please make sure there is only one player connected" (See image below)
    I have a CreativeZen 4GB player with Vista 64-Bit Operating system (Main System).
    Yes, I have followed the instructions step-by-step, downloaded the new firmware first, then, connected my ZEN player, double-clicked the "ZEN_PCFW_L22__2_03" downloaded file.
    Note : No other programs were running in the backround, even turned off installed firewall and anti-virus software. Also, tried this new firmware in a Windows XP (SP2) computer system and a Notebook Vista 32-Bit computer system. Yes! I only have one player connected. Same result (See image below).
    I left it sit for one hour and did not move, same result (See image below).
    I tried this in safemode (All OS systems), same result (See image below).

    Re: New Creative ZEN Firmware .2.03" firmware does not work$ I updated my Zen 32GB using Vista x64 so it can work under some situations. Can't say my upgrade went problem-free but it did work in the end.
    You might try some of the following (no promises they will help, but can't really hurt):
    Re-download the firmware updater. Maybe you got a bad download.
    Make sure your Zen is directly connected to a system USB port (i.e. not to a port on a monitor, keyboard, ext USB hub, etc.)
    Try running the firmware update as Administrator if you aren't already
    Try uninstalling the Creative drivers before the update.
    In my case I got stuck on a message that another application was using my Zen. Turned out the simple act of hooking up the player resulted in Vista running a headless "wmplayer.exe *32" process. I had to manually kill it from TaskManager in order to proceed. Even then the first update attempt ended with the Zen reporting a firmware problem and rebooting into the Recovery Menu. I had to use Reload Firmware to erase what it had and then try again. Second time was the charm.
    After all that I can't for the life of me see any changes/improvements in the new firmware. The forum is full of gripes and wishlists yet none of them complain about the radio functionality. I've used it almost every day for year without issue (aside from the rare Zen hang/crash when messing with the headphone jack and/or sliding the power switch). Thank goodness after waiting 0- months since the last update they got around to fixing something nobody noticed was broken. /2?:smileyvery-happy:

  • Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work in a Mac Pro as a second card

    Should I try this?  I don't see any reason why not but would like to make sure
    Thanks

    Should I try this?
    No.
    It won't work.
    Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work
    As explained, the G5 uses Open Firmware and the Mac Pro uses EFI.
    The ROM of the graphics card is completely different for each of the two machines.
    The cards are not interchangeable.

  • N73 Firmware upgrade--- bad working Voice dialing

    I updated the firmware of my Nokia N73 from 268.0.0.3 to 368.0.0.1. With the older version delivered by the phone voice dialing worked. In the 268.0.0.3 I only could given voice command for the profiles not for the contacts. It didn't recognise any contact. Because of thos I decided to do the next firmware upgrade to 368.0.0.1 and now the voice dialing doesn't work at all. Each time I put the button to activate it tells me "fualty voicesystem"in dutch "fout spraaksysteem. Now it became even worser. Is there anyone who helps me out?

    Thank you for your reaction. I put the firmware for the second time to my phone. Now it seems working again. When I touch the button for voice dialing it works untill then. But I may ask for every contact in my contactlist but nothing happens. When I touch the button again it is not reacting then but only the second time. When i asked for an other profile it sometimes works. In my contactlist it is possible to hear the contactname. But via voice dialing none of the contacts to choose.
    best regards
    Voice Dialling seems to be a bit choppy on most of the N-series models, because they use speech synthesis. Whereas this works for profile names, it's a different tackle for contact names. This is because contact names are assigned by assigned by you, the user. If you select Play Voice Tag for any given contact in your phone, it will output this name using speech synthesis. You will have to EXACTLY copy this output. And, if the name of a certain user is "John Doe Geralds", it wouldn't suffice to simply say "John Doe". You'd HAVE to put Geralds behind that, and in the EXACT same way as the device says it.
    The only way to change a voice label for any given name is to change the name itself. The same goes for profile names and commands, but I wouldn't change these as the defaults work fine.
    A reason because of which voice dialling may not work can also be found in the user's voice details having become useless for the phone. To correct this, go to Tools> Voice commands > Options > Settings and choose: Reset Voice Adaptations. Note that carrying this out means that ALL data collected about your voice shall be lost; you might have a bit of difficulty using voice features the first couple of times after performing this instruction. Beware to EXACTLY copy whatever the phone says, even though you know real-world pronunciation to be different. Until now, I haven't had to actually adjust the pitch of my voice to the synthesizer's pitch, but I know this would improve recognition accuracy.
    Oh yeah... Sorry for my late reaction!

  • New Firmware Upgrade Not Needed

    I tried to download and install the firmware upgrade posted today (v1.4), which is supposed to take my BootROM to MBP31.0070.B03 (it is currently identified as MBP31.0070.B02 in System Profiler). However, when I run the updater, it tells me I don't need the update.
    Any thoughts?

    The santa rosa chipsets (2.2s and 2.4s) may not need the firmware ?upgrade. If my 2.4 had needed the upgrade, it would have shown up in Software Update, and it did not.
    I don't mind this at all. Firmware upgrades could be problematic and I love to avoid them where possible. All of the iLife and iWork upgrades came up on software update for me and installed and are working fine.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade not working out

    I bought the Mac Box set over the weekend and tried to install it yesterday. We were running - I think - 10.4.7, and wanted to upgrade to 10.6 in order to run some game apps our kids got recently. Right from the get go, things did not go well. On installing the OS, I repeatedly got an "Installer quit unexpectedly" message. We tried rebooting but it just kept doing the same thing - Installer quit unexpectedly. After a few minutes, we realized that the OS did in fact install OK, but all the other Optional Install materials were not installing. So, it seems, the QuickTime update and anything else included was not installing. They still won't. The iLife and iWork packages won't install. And aside from Firefox, all our apps are not working now. I don't mind reinstalling the apps - but nothing will install!!! Should I uninstall 10.6 and try again? Not sure what to do at this point.
    John

    For an install of Snow Leopard (as opposed to updating it), I would not worry about updating the previous OS version nor about repairing that version's permissions. The Snow Leopard installer is much different from previous ones & does little more than test the target drive & write some pre-install files to it before rebooting from the DVD's copy of Snow Leopard, which it does as root user. And if it can't do those pre-install steps, it quits with an error before rebooting from the DVD.
    So, if it successfully reboots from the DVD, permissions on the target HD are irrelevant (because root user has essentially unlimited access to the HD's files, even to the few that can be changed only when starting up as root user) & the old OS version even more so because it is completely replaced by the new one.
    Also, it is not necessary to run fsck or Disk Utility's 'repair disk' step if the installer successfully reboots from the DVD because one of the pre-install steps does exactly the same thing as Disk Utility's 'verify disk' step, so if it gets this far, you know the corresponding repair would find nothing to do.
    If it gets this far & you get an "Installer quit unexpectedly" message before the final reboot into the login screen, you probably have one of the following problems:
    • A hardware issue of some kind, including a defect in the optical drive that prevents it from reading all the files on the DVD accurately, one or more substandard or out-of-spec memory modules (especially if any are 'generic' aftermarket ones), or in some subsystem of the Mac (graphics processor, power supply, whatever). Running the Apple Hardware Test from your original gray installer disc will often (but not always) detect this kind of problem.
    • A defective, scratched, or dirty Snow Leopard installer disc. This is particularly a likely cause if the installer quits at about the same point in the process each time. Visually check it carefully for any signs of damage or contamination & if possible test it with another Mac.
    • An attached peripheral that is interfering with the install process. Disconnect all but the essential ones (keyboard & mouse for an iMac) & connect them in the recommended way: keyboard to a USB port on the Mac & mouse into a keyboard port if they are wired. Then try running the installer again. Note: this does not apply to a network connection to the Internet, which is used in the pre-install phase to try to contact Apple's list of incompatible software & update what is on the DVD's list.
    • A nearly full HD. The pre-install tests do include a check for enough space for the installation but since this is not completely predictable there is small chance the installation process will run out of scratch space to assemble files if you are very near the calculated limit. The installer typically needs about 6 GB of free HD space for this, so try to free up an additional several GB if you are close to this limit before doing the install. However, note that the final OS installed will need at least this much scratch space once it is running, so plan accordingly. 10 to 15% of the total drive capacity is a rule of thumb many recommend.
    There are other issues to consider if the process completes & reboots into the login screen but that doesn't sound like what's happening here.

  • IMac w/firmware upgrade not connecting thru chooser

    Grade school iMacs (crt style) connect to library search software by selecting an alias on the local iMac that is for the program on the shared volume on the library Mac. This share is Read Only to everyone.
    Any iMac running OS 9.x that does not have the firmware upgrade for OS X is connecting fine as they always have. Click the alias, brings up the chooser to do the STUDENT logon to the library share and begins the execution of the software on the local mac.
    Some used iMacs that were added to the library have had their firmware upgraded for OS X. When these select the same alias - they get an error saying they do not have execution rights to the alias. But, if you manually go to the Chooser and log on to the libary share - then execute the actual program file - it works just fine.
    So it appears that the firmware update has glitched the machine's ability to log on to the library share and execute the search program via the alias.
    iMac iLamps (flat screen with round base)seem to work fine. Switch to OS9 via Classic, go through the Chooser and run the library search software. So seems our problem child(ren) is/are the CRT iMacs with the firmware upgrade.
    Ideas? Anyone else run into this?
    Thanks,

    You didn't indicate how long the iMac was running without problems, before you decided to upgrade the memory. It's possible that the display's degraded picture quality is not directly related to the memory installation, since that procedure is relatively non-invasive on a slot-loading iMac. The board could have had a problem that would manifest itself after a sufficient period of ON time, that went unnoticed, prior to its sale on eBay. Sellers often buy pallets of computers in unknown working condition, that are stacked on top of each other and wrapped with plastic. Because the cases often have cosmetic damage, they're parted out. If the computer powers up and everything appears to be working fine, it's shut down and disassembled. If the unit were left ON long enough, perhaps any problems that it had (prior to being pulled from service) would eventually surface. I'd suggest trying the other board that you bought.

  • T410 with integrated graphics - DVI output not working on Mini Dock 3 (4337)

    I tried connecting my external monitor to the DVI output of the Mini Dock and it did not work.  I have since connected it with no issus to the VGA output.
    However, I want to use the digital (DVI) connection for my monitor........how can i fix this issue?
    NOTE: I have a T410 with the integrated graphics so my laptop screen does not display while docked (I keep the lid closed).

    Hi MarkinIt,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with no Display when connected to docking station on your ThinkPad T410.
    Have you checked updating the Intel graphic driver from Lenovo support site?
    Please provide the current Graphic driver version showing in device manager.
    Is the system having Windows 7 or Windows 8 OS?
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash Player 10.2.153.1 upgrade not working on 64bit Intel-Mac in Safari 5.0.4

    I feel robbed! I want to use my Safari.
    The latest upgrade of Flash player does not work.
    I don't even remember downloading it, it must've been an automatic update!
    I can not play youtube videos nor can I play any games on Facebook.
    Who knows what is not working in my Avid!! I have not been working on that lately.
    The flash player still works on FireFox, but i have no intention on switching to that.
    The first aid has been run a few times.
    It will download the free flash player for Intel Mac and it says the install is successful, but it is not there.
    I have CS4 and it never bothered or disrupted the free flash player before.
    I uninstalled it just in case and nearly lost it! When I tried to reinstall Flash, it said my disc to was blank!
    Luckily, a friend in the business of fixing computers was able to get that back! whew.
    The flash player from the CS4 is showing up in a folder and will even open when clicked on, but it does nothing. It is version 10.0 r2.
    When I go to the place where they say to "see what version of flash you have"
    I just get that icon that says to "Get Adobe Flash player".
    It down not show the suggested "missing plug-in" pictures.
    Yes, I read there is compatibility issues with the 64 bit Mac, but it always worked before!!!
    Help!! Please!!

    So the Shockwave Flash plugin in FF is Installed and Enabled. That's why Flash Player is working and why you were able to see the Flash Player logo animation. On the other hand, evidently the Shockwave Flash plugin is either not Installed in Safari or if it is it is Disabled. And that is why it's not working and you can't see the Flash Player logo.
    Yes, I know Flash Player can be Installed in any supported 64bit OS. Also I thot that the 64bit browser in Mac was the "default" browser and the "Compatibility layer" had to be used. Similiar to the PC IE8 or IE9, switching over to the Compatibility feature in the browser.
    Do you need to activate the Compatibility feature?  I have had other Mac users tell me that their problem was they were using the 64bit browser and found out they had to use the 32bit browser, so I thot it was something they had to do. I would think if it was automatic they would not have had to "do" anything. But like I said I don't use Mac so can only relate what they tell me.
    With Safari on either of the test sites, no Flash Player version was displayed?
    Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have the below two files:
    Flash Player.plugin, flashplayer.xpt
    After that see if this thread is of any help: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2725949#2725949

  • Graphical Screen painter not working in development server

    Hi,
    SAP Graphical editor not working.  I am getting the following error.
    EU_SCRP_WN32 : timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'
    Last week its sucessfully working but suddenly happen this issue... This problem in development server only. In production server is sucessfully working.
    Please advise...
    Regards
    Rajesh.

    This issue is caused by Local network response time delay.
    Solution to fix the issue is to increase the
    time-out parameter to RFC EU_SCRP_WN32.
    You can do it via transaction SM59, change RFC EU_SCRP_WN32 to a higher value.
