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
PowerMac G4 Sawtooth 450 mHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   704mb RAM 27gb 250gb

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

  • 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?

    can anyone help with problem updating iphone5s cant get anything only apple on screen sometimes screen flashes blue

    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.

  • 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 !

    i have same problem dude..
    this problem starting from nsu version 1.3.7..
    So, in version 1.3.6 there is no problem when running application
    so, if it been so longgggggg after 5 min
    goto
    task manager>process tab & end process
    1. nsl_host_process.exe
    2. nsu_ui_client.exe
    and running nsu again
    sometimes when u run, nsu_ui_client.exe is not run too, so nsu will make so long to finish loading or will not end loading..

  • 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

  • Help with replicating/updating vendor master data

    Hi,
    Currently, we run the bbp_vendor_sync program to do the replication. It does the job of both bbpgetvd (new vendor creation) and bbpupdvd (update existing vendor).
    But the problem is, we have two number ranges for vendors. One is Numeric and other one is Alpha.
    Group -->AB     From 0010000000     to 0699999999
    Group -->AZ     From A     to ZZZZZZZZZZ
    The vendor synchronization program can consider only one number range at a time i.e.
    either Numeric or Alpha. So, we have to switch the active number range
    and run the program twice., first for numeric and then for alpha.
    In order to avoid this, I'm looking at implementing bbp_transdata_prep which I was told would take care of this issue.
    I looked around for documentation/sample code for bbp_transdata badi and couldnt find any on SAP help site or SDN.
    Wondering if someone can help with the documentation/sample code and difficuly level of implementing this BADI.
    Any help would be highly appreciated and suitable points would be awarded for your help.
    Also, if there is another way to solve this issue without implementing transdata badi, pls. let me know.
    TIA,

  • Help with a update,select statement

    Hi all please can you help me with a update statement i am struggling with.
    I have 2 tables
    Holiday and data
    In the Holiday table i have columns for
    Machine_ID NUMBER,
    date_from DATE,
    date_to DATE,
    ID NUMBER
    Machine column represents a type of machine, the two dates represent the start and end date of a holiday and ID represents the ID of the machines that the holiday effects (as you can have many machines that are the same, so the ID unique field to seperate them.
    i.e.
    996     25-DEC-08 00:00:00     27-DEC-08 00:00:00     91     
    996     25-DEC-08 00:00:00     27-DEC-08 00:00:00     92     
    100     28-DEC-08 00:00:00     29-DEC-08 00:00:00     1
    100     28-DEC-08 00:00:00     29-DEC-08 00:00:00     2
    In the data table i have the following columns:
    DATE DATE
    Machine NUMBER
    SHIFT1S DATE
    SHIFT1F DATE
    SHIFT2S DATE
    SHIFT2F DATE
    CALS DATE
    CALF DATE
    CAP NUMBER
    CALCAP NUMBER
    total_hrs_up NUMBER
    In here i have data for every date in the calendar. The machines are cross references with the machine in holidays table.
    I run two shifts so have shift 1 start, finish. shift 2 start, finish. These are dates with times, so shift1s could be 01-01-08 09:00:00 shift1f could be 01-01-08 17:00:00.
    shift2S could be 01-01-08 21:00:00 shift2f could be 01-01-08 23:59:00.
    so that machine would be up between them hours of the day.
    Other columns include
    CALS, ,CALF = calendar start, finish, - This needs to be populated from the holiday table. currently null. So if the date is the 26 DEC and the machine is the same as what is in the holiday table then these two columns should be populated with them data
    CAP is the total number of these machines i have available.
    CALCAP is the no of machines the holiday affects -currently null
    total_hrs_up is the number of hours this machine is up and running -currently null.
    So what i need to do is populate the cals, calf calcap, total_hrs_up columns.
    total_hrs_up is the important one, this needs to work out based on the two shift patterns the number of hours that the machine is available and then take off the holiday hours to give a final value.
    so current data example in data is
    date machine shifts shiftf shift2s shift2f cals, calf, cap, calcap, total_hrs
    16-JUL-08     100 09:00:00     17:00:00     12:00:00     00:00:00               '','','',1     ,''     
    16-JUL-08     105 09:00:00     17:00:00     12:00:00     00:00:00               '','','',1     ,''
    16-JUL-08     107 09:00:00     17:00:00     12:00:00     00:00:00               '','','',1     ,''
    id like to see based on the holiday table if there is a holiday then this data is updated as such and a total_hrs machine is available populated on that date.
    Any help is very much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The following query does what you requested.
    It makes the following assumptions:
    (a) in data, shift1start <= shift1finish
    (b) in holiday, hol_start <= hol_finish
    (b) in data, the combination (machine, shift1start) is unique
    (c) in holiday, hol_start <= hol_finish
    (d) in holiday, rows for the same machine and id never have overlapping dates (including times). For example:
    INSERT INTO holiday (machine, id, date_from, date_to)
    VALUES (200, 1, '26-DEC-08 07:00:00', '26-DEC-08 09:59:59');
    INSERT INTO holiday (machine, id, date_from, date_to)
    VALUES (200, 1, '26-DEC-08 09:00:00', '26-DEC-08 09:59:59');will cause a probem. Multiple rows for the same machine and day are okay, however, if the times do not overlap, like the following:
    INSERT INTO holiday (machine, id, date_from, date_to)
    VALUES (200, 1, '26-DEC-08 07:00:00', '26-DEC-08 08:59:59');
    INSERT INTO holiday (machine, id, date_from, date_to)
    VALUES (200, 1, '26-DEC-08 09:00:00', '26-DEC-08 09:59:59');Here's the UPDATE statement:
    UPDATE     data     m
    SET     (     hol_start
         ,     hol_finish
         ,     no_of_available_minutes
         ) =
    (     SELECT     MIN (date_from)
         ,     MAX (date_to)
         ,     (     MAX (shift1finish - shift1start)     -- Total from data
              -     ( NVL     ( SUM     ( LEAST (date_to, shift1finish)
                             - GREATEST (date_from, shift1start)
                        , 0
                        )                    -- Total from holiday
                   / MAX (total_no_of_machines)          -- Average
              ) * 24 * 60                         -- Convert days to minutes
         FROM          data     d
         LEFT OUTER JOIN     holiday     h     ON     h.machine     = d.machine
                             AND NOT     (     date_from     > shift1finish
                                  OR      date_to          < shift1start
         WHERE          d.machine     = m.machine
         AND          d.shift1start     = m.shift1start
    );The subquery has to use its own copy of data (that is, in needs d, not m), since the subquery has to return a non-NULL number of minutes when no rows in h match m.

  • Help with a update query from a subquery

    Hello All,
    I wanted to see if someone can help me with an update query.
    I need to grab a latitude & longitude from a the same user that is in two accounts. therefore i am trying to update lat/long in a users table for one account based off of the same user in another account. I am matching the users up by phone number and last name. I tried a subquery but am having difficulty.
    I was thinking of something like the following:
    update users
    set lat = getlat, long = getlong
    inner join (select lat as getlat, long as get long from users where account_id = '1')
    on phone = phone and last name = lastname
    where account_id = '2' and lat IS NULL and long IS NULL
    Am I going in the right direction???
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!!

    What difficulty are you having? Have you tried what you posted and get an error?
    Although someone may be able to give you sql advice here, I would try posting this over at Stack Overflow as its not really related to Coldfusion.

  • Help with firmware installing over and over

    i did the firmware update to 1.9 and now when i restart my computer or shut it down it reinstalls the firmware over and over and the system takes over 5mins to start up ..it has the apple logo and the lil round dot bars going and under that is this long progress bar like it's installing firmware. it dose this over and over and having to wait for over 5mins is way to long ...thx for any help

    It sounds like something in your firmware update may have become corrupted during the download, my recommendation would be re-download it and then re-install. This is assuming you have a mid 2010 15 or 17" MBP. If you don't have one of these machines you should haven't downloaded the update and that could be the reason for the issue. If you don't have a mid 2010 15 or 17" MBP or the re-download/re-installation fails take your MBP into an Apple Store or AASP and they can help you.
