Help with Firmware Update... Doesn't recognize built-in isight

Hi,
I just installed the firmware update and now the computer will not recognize the built in isight (in ichat preferences it says there's no camera attached and when you launch photobooth it says there's no camera attahced). Anyone have any ideas? Since the firmware update was successfully installed I'm not sure if'how I can back out of it and if so what to do next...
Thanks!
Michael

I just applied the firmware update and had the same problem. So I restarted and all is well. Photo Booth recognizes the iSight and iMovie does as well. Did you try restarting after the iSight wasn't recognized?

Help with firmware update

Hey all.
I recently bought a new CPU upgrade to speed me up a bit. I need to update my firmware but I think I can only update it in the classic environment. Is there anyway I can get my firmware up to 4.2.8 without using the classic environment?
Thanks

Yeah I checked the system profiler and I'm running Boot ROM Version: 3.2.4f1.
I checked the Software Update to see if I could update it, but no dice. Do I need to buy 9.1, 9.2.1 etc. classic? Can you walk me through the steps on how to update it using classic? I'm not posotive on how to do it. I think I have an idea but if you could walk me throught that would be great.
Thanks

EFI firmware update doesn't show up?

Wondering why the EFI firmware update doesn't show up for me in Software update? My firmware is: MP31.006C.B03
Supposedly after the update its supposed to be: MP31.006C.B05
Does this mean that I don't need the update?

Thanks for all the replies. I guess the problem is that I haven't yet installed the Leopard Graphics update. Since everything is running so well right now I didn't want to mess with it.
So what's the story, should I or shouldn't I install the Leopard Graphics Update and the EFI Firmware update? I've never experienced the wake from sleep problems because I have Energy Saver set to "never" sleep.
It might be wisest not to, but then it's hard to say. The
firmware update might address some nasty issues we don't know
about. Or it might be targeted specifically at the reboot issue.
How can we know? There's very little information on the download page.
It's a gamble, sorry to say.
One thing: I'm not super convinced you'll need that graphics
update after the EFI update has been applied. It would be surprising
if Apple made the machines reliant on something not included with
the original install disks.
You might try this very risky (caution: possibly dangerous; at your
own risk only) thing: applying the graphics update and then manually
reverting it from a backup after installing the EFI update.
Note this though: the EFI update is essentially irreversible.
In a couple of months, graphics update 2 will likely be available, if
history repeats itself. You might wait until then, and take that risk
instead

Hey damien555,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

Help with this update statement..

Hi everyone,
I am trying to update a column in a table .I need to update that column
with a function that takes patient_nbr and type_x column values as a parameter.
That table has almost "300,000" records. It is taking long time to complete
almost 60 min to 90 min.
Is it usual to take that much time to update that many records?
I dont know why it is taking this much time.Please help with this update statement.
select get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x) partner_id from test_load;
(it is just taking 20 - 30 sec)
I am sure that it is not the problem with my function.
I tried the following update and merge statements .Please correct me if i am wrong
in the syntax and give me some suggestions how can i make the update statement fast.
update test_load set partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(patient_nbr,1,9),type_x);
merge into test_load a
using (select patient_nbr,type_x from test_load) b
on (a.patient_nbr = b.patient_nbr)
when matched
then
update
set a.partner_id = get_partner_id(SUBSTR(b.patient_nbr,1,9),b.type_x);
there is a index on patient_nbr column
and the statistics are gathered on this table.

Help: Stuck in an infinite loop with firmware update

Need some help here.
I have a 2013 21.5" iMac, running Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.
Recently, during a firmware update, my kids pulled the cord (they claim innocence). Now, when I boot the machine, it goes to the white firmware update screen, does the full progress bar, and then shuts down.
It doesn't restart itself.
When I power it back on, it does the firmware update again.
How can I fix this? I have access to other Macs, USB keydrives, Firewire cable, etc. Just need to know exactly what to do. Tried searching the web, but didn't find an answer for this situation. I'd rather resolve myself than truck it down to the Apple Store.

You can try this:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If that doesn't work, see below.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Need help with understanding updates, partitions, firmware etc.

I went to update my QuickTime and in doing so was told to update my OS which included QT updates. Now I'm getting all kinds of messages about partitions, firmware etc. do not understand at all what's going on.

THIS IS MY STEP BY STEP situation with my updates:
I go to the Apple Icon and selected Software Update and it reads I have 2 items:
MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.2
MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4
I select Install and then it state Installs completed successfully.
BUT THEN I recieve and new icon and this message below:
To update the SMC firmware on your MacBook:
Your computer's power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source, or your battery must be at least 25% charged.
For more information see 'http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3499'.
1. Quit all other open applications.
2. Click Restart in the MacBook SMC Firmware Update window and wait for your computer to restart.
The SMC firmware update starts automatically. A status bar indicates the progress of the update. During the update your computer fans will run at full speed, but will return to normal once the update completes.
Important: Do not interrupt the update.
Your computer restarts automatically when the update is completed and opens the MacBook SMC Firmware Update.
3. Click OK. The SMC firmware is now up-to-date.
If these instructions appear on your screen again, the SMC firmware update was not successful. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
I follow the instructions and then I get this: (could get my image to attach but here's what it said)
the first error message heading of:
MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4
Your firmware could not be updated, the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2434 for more information (internal error 28:3)
THEN ANOTHER ONE POPS UP saying:
Your Hard Drive partition scheme is not supported, you must be booted from a GUID partition scheme.
see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html? artnum=303609 for more information
I went to those URL and tried to understand what it was telling me but I did not understand. I can't figure, by reading thru forums, etc, if I need to do this or not and what exactly it is.
So back to just pushing a simplet update has thrown all this unknown info. my way and I have no clue what to do.
Thank you. Hope this is more clear.

Everything deleted & iTunes & Updater doesn't recognize iPod

Yeah, that's my problem. Funny thing is, I didn't do anything to the iPod to cause the problem. One day I was just adding songs to the iPod & using it like a hard drive (things I've done before with no problems) & then I turn it on two days later to find all my songs deleted. It was returned to factory settings when I didn't do anything.
I hooked iPod up to my computer & it's not recognized by iTunes or the Updater. My computer, however, recognizes it & says that the iPod has the memory it did before the problem. I read the article for when iPod isn't recognized by iTunes or iPod, but I don't know if this would also apply because I also have the another problem. I didn't try this yet because I gave my iPod to some one to help me. He couldn't solve my problem so I'm turning it over to all of you.
Thanks so much!

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.

HP LaserJet 1518ni - Firmware update doesn't do anything

Hello folks
I am trying to update my HP LaserJet 1518ni to the latest Firmware (2013-11-08 , Version20130923, 4.22M).
My current firmware datecode is: 20120110
I went here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3422472
Downloaded the file CP1510_Series_FW_Update-20130923.exe
Turned Firewall and AntVirus OFF, ran the Executable with administrative priviliges - it says it found the printer and I see a progress bar and also the smiley at the end. But the printer is unimpressed and shows just "Ready" in the LCD, nothing changed: The files does simply nothing.
Tried it via IP Port and also USB on another PC, same effect.
What is going wrong?
Where are the good old .RFU Files I just can TFTP to the printer...?
Thanks,
Thomas
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello @TomPe , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing firmware issues. I'd like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Once you have run the doctor, try installing the firmware via this tool:
HP Color LaserJet Printer Firmware Update Utility
Also, can you print standalone? I would recommend pressing the right arrow until you see reports, press OK, select diagnostics page, and press OK.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware update doesn't work

Hello,
My company has bought over 200 ThinkPad USB 3.0 Docks to use with HP Folios to connect dual and single monitors. Some users have experience multiple issues with this product and I am trying to determine how to resolve these issues. I first want to update the firmware that is located here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?DocID=UM014961
ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware Update - Lenovo Docking FW Update Tool V1.0
I have the USB 3.0 dock connected to the 3.0 USB port on the Folio. The unit I am testing seems to be working fine as I have dual monitors up, external keyboard and mouse are working.
I ran the .exe, a command window comes up, and it attempted to look for the device. The text is as shown:
1. Initialzation<> Success
Start Search HUB
!!!No device found!
Press any key to continue . . .
This has been tried on several devices and it simply does not work. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have contacted support which was a complete waste of time because they have no idea what I am talking about.

I'm going to return my dock if possible. My main problem is that I cannot view Vmware virtual machine which is required for work. 2nd I can't view photos on my dual screens, it just hangs saying "Loading...", but I can view them on my W520 LCD Display. 3rd, I can't view a downloaded video, as in an .mp4. I disabled the hardware acceleration in Firefox, so I can see streaming video.
I have a Thinkpad W520 and an X1 Carbon and both exhibit the same problems with the dock.
I tried upgrading the DisplayLink Drivers to the 7.x version and that created a slew of problems. The Dock firmware driver link in the OP doesn't work either. As mentioned it couldn't find the device. Uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the stock one cause lots of problems with my W520. The dock would try to connect but it kept connecting and disconnecting and the cycle would continue infinitly. It wasn't until I did a system restore that I could get it working again to where I can use the dock again.
I am extremely dissapointed with this dock.

Need help in firmware update !

Hai everyone,
Am new to this discussion. I've downloaded the latest N70 (code: 0539240) firmware update from the nokia official site. when i start running it, it shows starting application and stays like that for hours nearly 2hrs. I tryied running with the pc suite already installed but it gave the same result. Should i wait longer ....is this normal or is there something wrong with this software and why does this software need an internet connection for the update.
Any help wud be greatly appriciated !

E-61 changed keyboard with firmware update

Hi,
I'm a U.S. E-61 user. I recently upgraded the firmware on my device using the phone update software found at http://www.europe.nokia.com/A4176089?E61.
Everything works fine except for my keyboard. Now, my "@" sign, along with a few other keys, displays an Arabic character. Additionally, some shift/function keys are incorrect.
Anyone have any idea about how to get back to my previous keyboard layout?
Thanks,
Talib

I have an E61, code 05300096, which I now understand should be the Euro-Z with an Arabic keyboard ... but mine has what I believe is the UK keybord.
I'm one of the many that are now suffering with the keyboard layout issue after using the Software Updater to move to the new firmware (2.0618.06.05).
First ... to anyone reading this, check your location code under the battery BEFORE doing this firmware update. Unfortunately I did not learn of this forum until after I started trying to fix this problem.
I've read assertions that mine is a grey market phone but I'm now angry beyond words that I bought this phone from a legit vendor, paid retail price ... and the keyboard worked fine before the update ... and Nokia's not providing me a means to update with an alternate product code to correct my keyboard issue ... and there is no way to go back.
Some vendors even caution about firmware updates, to the tune of "update only if you are directed to" where Nokia's web site recommends updating when software is available.
This is not a $3 phone. If Nokia is can't help us (there are many on the Internet citing this same issue), then I'm sure all us impacted by this will think twice before laying out big bucks for another Nokia product.
Help us out please.
Thanx! ... Phil

Firmware update doesn't see Zen Micr

I was updating my firmware (to version 2), and for some reason it hung up during the update. After a reset of the ZM, Creative products refuse to recognize that the ZM is connected. Every time I plugged it in Windows would start installing software, one of which was MTP, which hangs during installation because the ?Device did not respond in a timely manner?.
So I went into the recovery menu, and did a clean up, format, and reloaded the firmware.
Now it'ss the same thing, except I get nothing but the recovery menu. I?ve tried this on two computers now. I plug in the ZM, windows detects it and starts installing software, but Creative products (MediaSource and both firmware updates) don?t recognize that the player is plugged in. Same problem regardless of which USB2 port it is plugged into.
I?ve tried it on WindowsXP SP and Windows 2k3. I?m currently downloading new version of MediaSource for players with v2 installed, but I doubt that will allow me to flash my firmware. Only two hours left on the download......

This is the OP.
I had no luck. I found another topic about this problem here and continued posting there. Basically, I did a complete fresh install of the software and Micro on two different machines, one running Windows 2k3 and the other Windows 2000 Pro. Exact same problem on both. I have opted not to mess with it anymore, since I really don't have the time, and just RMA it back to Newegg. I got the thing to play music during work, not to spend hours looking for answers to a problem on the precious few hours I get off of work.
