How do I find my firmware version G5 dual 1.8

Where can I find the firmware my computer is running?
Thanks

Boot with an Apple wired keyboard command-option-o-f to get the boot ROM version.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/g5/powermac_g5_docs_updates.html says:
G5 Boot Rom (Firmware) Versions: (Update - as of April 2004 G5s are shipping with boot rom v5.15. In late 2003 Apple released G5 firmware 5.1.4 update for 2003 models and in Nov 2004 released a 5.1.8f7 update for June 2004 models. The comments below were from early owners before that release.) After the report about early G5 shipments reportedly having problems with mixing 3rd party RAM with the OEM RAM (Hynix brand reportedly) I wondered if the boot rom version had changed since the first shipments. The S/N XB337xxxxx Dual G5 here (shipped 9/15) has rom version 5.0.2f2 (as reported by Apple System Profiler). Several readers sent their G5 boot rom versions:
" Dual 2 Ghz BTO in UK
CK338xxS-NVB
(boot rom version) 5.0.5f0
Tan "
Another Dual G5 owner (very recent shipment) wrote he has an even later boot rom version:
" Mike, I got my G5 Dual 1 week ago, Just looked at the Boot rom version and it is newer than others mentiond in todays news."
Machine model
PowerMac7,2 (version = 2.2)
Boot Rom: 5.0.7f0
And another report of 5.0.7f0 firmware:
" Mike, we have three CTO machines, built 9/19 (1) and 9/22 (2) boot Rom on all three - 5.0.7f0
-- Fred C.
General Manager
TheTroupe Modern Media Design & Production "
A reader with 5.0.7f0 firmware noted he still had problems using CL2 dimms (even without any CL3 OEM dimms installed based on his previous comments) - so there's still a requirement for DIMMs to have CL3 timing in the SPD. One reader later wrote he had an even earlier boot rom version than mine - 5.0.1f0.
Maybe Apple is waiting to accumulate fixes/changes before releasing a public update - but I'm hoping they will soon release a firmware update for the G5s which might solve some of the quirks that some owners have seen.

    Hi, can anyone help me out with this question?
    How can I find out which version of Ipod touch I have. I only have the model and serial numbers as it was a gift, but I would like to download IOS 5 if it is compatible?
    Very frustrated Ipod user, any advice would be much appreciated.

    I had the same problem because there are so many iPod models.  There is a great article in Wikileaks that explains it all and also has pictures.  I'm confident this answer your question.

  • How do I find the iTunes version on my iPad?

    How do I find the iTunes version on my IPAD?

    You can't. The version is whatever the version is for the iOS that you are running. The preinstalled apps are updated when the iOS is updated so whatever iOS your are running determines that version.
    If you are asking because you are trying to submit feedback or trying to communicate with Apple via some support link that is asking for the version, just ignore that and enter the information in any special instructions field or whatever is available.

  • How do I find and older version of instagram for iOS 6.1.6

    How do I find and older version of instagram for 4th generation touch iOS 6.1.6?

    In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPod has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPod, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

  • How to query for a firmware version?

    Hi,
    My customer requires to report all firmware versions for all components. How do I acquire a firmware version for a PXI card? I have a number fo card (PXI-5421, PXI-4072, PXI-6653).
    Thanks
    CT

    Hey Cimteker,
    Firmware is handled differently accross various cards. Unfortuantely because of this, there's no one easy way to get firmware versions for everycard since it isn't all handled in the same way. I'm curious what the overall application is and why all of the firmware versions for the cards are needed. The driver version updates all the firmware that's necessary. Because of this, alot of time firmware is driver dependant.
    Do you by any chance have an open service request with this same issue? We're currently looking into the firmware versions for these cards, and I'm wondering if the two issues are tied together.
    The PXI-5421 is an arbitrary waveform generator FGEN device. with FGen, there's a VI inside of the driver that will actually return the firmware. It's called niFGEN Revision Query VI. You can get there by going to NI-FGEN » Utility >» niFgen Revision Query.vi. I also believe niSCOPE has the same situation.

  • How do i find out what version i'm running

    How do i find out what version i'm running, i'm on CC (6 is it), i want to check if i'm running 6.0 or 6.01 - the update, i cannot see where my version is. If i press 'About Adobe Lightroom', it takes me to the credits box which shows what camera raw i'm running, nothing else.

    This is beginning to make some sense, thank you.
    At the top of the LR forum i see - Lightroom CC 2015.0.1/Lightroom 6.0.1 update now available
    I am subscribed. Seems 6 is equivalentto CC. And 2015.0.1 is 6.01.
    Upon opening Cats i get the attached. (Why does it not say CC :-)
    A little complicated isn't it. I think we've gotten to the bottom of it.
    I think it would help though when various announcements are made (I think I first saw Victoria Bs announcement regarding 6.01, but she and others have not mentioned that 6.01 may mean 2015.0.1 if you are CC)

  • How do I find out the version of my WRT310N?

    There is no information on the label of my WRT310N indicating whether it is v1 or v2.  How can I find out which version it is?

    Turn it upside down, look for the model number, right next to the model number if it says V2 then, you know, it is WRT310N V2, else it should be V1...
