How many times does bios update

I have a new desktop running Windows 7 Pro, the HP Support Assistant says the BIOS needs to be updated. I downloaded and ran the update three times in the past two days, and it still wants to download and run the same file. It seems more than once is not right.

Hello @skeohane,
I understand that the HP Support Assistant is repeatedly updating your BIOS on your HP Pavillion 500 Desktop PC. I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer. I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
As well if you could include the SoftPaq number that is trying to install that would be helpful as well. (IE sp56000)
Please re-post with the requested information and I would be happy to provide you with assistance. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

  • HT4972 How many times do you update. Once a month or 6 months or a year?

    How many times do you update the IPad. Once a month or 6 moths or a year?

    You're not talking to Apple here, this is a user-to-user forum.  If you're asking how often iOS gets a new version, that varies and the only public announcement is the pending release of iOS 6 this fall.
    If you're not asking about the updates of iOS, what are you referring to?

  • How many times does the VideoEvent.READY event get fired?

    Hello,
    I have 2 videos I am loading via VideoPlayer.load(url). I
    have setup eventlisteners(VideoEvent.READY, onVideoLoaded) for each
    video so when the videos are loaded my function is called. How many
    times should my function onVideoLoaded be called? I assume once for
    each video. This is not the case because my function is called
    multiple times for the first video and not called at all for the
    second video. Can someone to me why? Is this a bug with AS3? Any
    help would be appreciated.

  • HT4623 my apple i pad 4th genearation is not updating to i os 7 from i os 6 no mater how many times i am updating it , half the software is updating and then it stops citing some conection problems

    my ipad is not updating to new os

    If you can't update connected to wifi, try to update connected to your computer. Do you have enough available storage space?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
    You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
    How to Upgrade to iOS 7
    The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
    There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
    To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
    Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
    To upgrade using iTunes:
    First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
    You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
    Now you are ready to begin the process:
    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
     Cheers, Tom

    You need to know that this isn't a support forum.  It was created by Verizon as a place for customers to help each other.  You can post all you want, but Verizon doesn't respond to issues here.  If you want to get a message to Verizon you need to call or chat with them.
    Occasionally, the Verizon moderators will escalate specific customer issues to their support team, but I wouldn't count on any posts here resulting in any action from Verizon.  Note that the strongest message you can send Verizon is to send them less or zero money as a result of downgrading or canceling your service.
    Now, if you'd like help from other users post some details.  There are a bunch of helpful people lurking here just waiting to jump in.  But you have to give us a real issue and not a complaint about Verizon.
    Good Luck.

  • How many times does the licence allow me to reinstall windows 7?

    I have reinstalled once in the past and now I need to again. Something is slowing down the system, so I wish to eliminate possible bug infections. Is there a limit to re-installations? How many chances do I get to get it right? Thank you for
    your help.
    Non-technical history but willing to replace SSD and/or memory sticks if needed.

    Please excuse me for not replying sooner, due to work commitments. For speed, BT only gave an upto figure, 10mbps. I replied my checking revealed only 0.75 to 1.3mbps attained. They asked more questions about the set-up, which they could not fault.
    Then they claimed that connection had been lost, that it might be problems with the broadband. The PC then crashed and I had to force a shut-down and restart. Over an hour that all took.
    I am wondering now if software such as 'malwarebytes.com' when scanning for bugs, do they scan only the C-drive SSD in order to clean the PC, or do they also scan the D-drive HDD. I use mine for storage of photos and also some downloaded GIF's.
    Since I used 'malwarebytes.com' a virus API.Gravity.com has reappeared on screen.
    Is it possible for a virus to get further into the machine, past the memory banks and not be cleaned by Norton or any of the cleaners?
    If I format the SSD and clean everything off, will it be as clean as a new one. I am beginning to think it would cheaper just to buy a new SSD and start again.
    Sorry this all taking so long, I cannot seem to shorten it. Very glad of your knowledgeable advice. Thanks yet again.

  • How many times does apple care replace a iphone

    i had my phone replaced 2 times already for cracked screen and wondering if i can go again to get it a new one i have apple care!

    Apple Care does not cover damage to the phone at all... AppleCare + will cover 2 incidents of damage with a $49 per incident deductible.
    If Apple replaced your phone when it had a broken screen and didn't charge you for it, you were very very lucky.

  • App Store downloads - how many times does one need to restart download??

    I am having a bit of an issue with AppStore, I purchased Rome Total War, granted a whopping 4 Gig download, however Apples infrastructure seems to be a bit on the weak side as the connection gets dropped on the server side.
    Anyone else seeing that too? My DSL is fine otherwise, but it is very annoying to see that I can not get to the product I purchased for more than 24 hours now... I did expect a far better user experience from this.
    Thanks,
    Bernd

    Yes I have apps installed on the SD card. Shifting them to the internal memory is not really an option (would leave very little free space over there which would then cause other problems). Besides, if the phone allows you to install the apps on the card, shouldn't they work from there? Yes, they should.
    Without the card, there will be no custom apps and the phone would be almost useless (will turn into a basic device used to make calls and send text). To me, this is not an option. Also, I don't see how it would solve the problem automagically after some time.
    The card doesn't seem to be faulty. I tried to connect the phone without the card inserted and it got connected alright for two times but the USB mode chooser froze the third time, just the same as with the card inserted. So a new card is probably not going to solve the problem.
    Must be something strange happening here. Maybe it's due to the apps installed on the card rather than the internal memory, but I just cannot install all those apps within that limited space.
    Thanks for the feedback. I'm waiting for more members' experience to come to any conclusion.

  • How many times does hardware have to fail before I can get it replaced

    First my mic died
    Then I had to replace the logic board
    now the power supply is bad
    iMac is just 9 months old
    I got a lemon and no tequila
    At what point can I ask Apple for a replacement iMac?

    Unless the machine is covered by AppleCare you don't stand much chance. However with AppleCare normally 3x and they'll replace it. My suggestion is get AppleCare which will extend the warranty to 3 years and also include telephone support.
    If you don't want to purchase AppleCare then you can always call Customer Relations and plead the case. In the US that number is 800-767-2775 outside the US I have no idea.  You would need to call AppleCare and ask them. Remember you have a human being on the other side so be organized, have exact dates, receipts and all other data with you and above all be pleasant, polite and peristent.
    Good luck!

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • How many times should the computer cycle on-off when doing a factory reset?

    I have a Toshiba A665-S6065 which can not boot.  Yesterday I tried the Auto Recovery by holding the 0
    while booting, and following the default instructions.  It seemed to complete without errors.  But the computer
    will still not boot.  Today, when reading the instructions, it said to expect the computer to cycle on and off severa
    times.  So how many times?  will there be any propmts or messages?  How long should the entire process take?
    How long should the computer be off before it turns on again each time?  I think I might be screwing things up
    by intervening and trying to start the computer myself because it isn't clear to me what should actually be happening.
    Could someone please tell me what to expect before I start looking at possible hardwre problems?
    BTW, I can access the Setup and Boot Menu.
    Thanks,
    kjdroid 
    NEW info:
    Now when I boot while holding the 0 key, instead of going directly to the Recovery Wizard, it goes to the
    Windows Boot Manager.
    from there the options are Windows Setup [EMS enabled]
    and Windows Memory Diagnostic, as well as the F8 option for advanced options.
    If I select Windows Memory Diagnostic I get
    File: \boot\memtest.exe
    Status : 0xC000000f
    Info : The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
    If I select Windows Setup or F8 followed by normal windows startup or startup in safe mode then
    I get the following sequence of events.
    Starting Windows with the Windows logo.
    then the blue screen
    Then to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard, where it partitions, and does the CRC and then prompts to press
    finish to restart the computer.
    Either the computer does not shut down, or it stops and starts very quickly because all the lights cycle
    on and off but it does not appear that the start/stop light actually ever turns off.
    Then I get the Starting Windows with Logo again.
    Then the Recovery Wizard comes back but only with the screen about partitioning.  It does not
    do the recovery and CRC this time.
    Nextis the Toshiba Logo reappears again with the options for F2 or F12 for the Setup and Boot Menus.
    Finally, I get a blue screen and it appears nothing else is happening.  I let it sit for 30 minutes before I retry, because I am not sure what is supposed to be happening now.
    Also, one of my attempts, I got as far as the messages:
    Setting up the Registry
    Starting Services
    Applying System Settings
    Will continue after restarting your computer
    Is preparing your computer for first use.
    But then again, it just goes into the blue screen state until I finally decide to shut things down.
    Am I being premature or should I let the blue screen sit there for a few hours while work is being
    done in the background?  I don't hear any sounds from the computer that would indicate any type of activity.
    Thanks again

    Actually, it's kind of hard to tell you what to replace. If you have a spare hard drive laying around, go for it. It also could be memory issues (I have the same model as you) & it was my sister-in-law's notebook before I get it. The notebook had several memory dumps that CCleaner found & deleted when I was working on it. 
    I told her that I would re-install it for her to make sure there no viruses or such. After backing up the computer, I proceeded to what was supposed to work, pressing "0" at startup to no avail, then booted into the area where the system restore, command line repairs & such were, & there was the option for a factory reset, the last option. I chose that one, & like you stated, it rebooted numerous times, until finally it was through. Longest factory re-install I've ever done. 
    What led me to believe there were memory issues was during the first round of updates, it BSOD'd, another memory dump was found by my portable CCleaner. It still had the original Samsung PC3-8500 memory, so I took the memory that shipped with my MSI (PC3-10600) & installed that, then not only was all fine, it was noticably faster. Once I got it fully updated & scanned with MBAM & the ESET Online Scanner (I always do this when installing or re-installing a computer), I removed my memory & placed hers back in, then returned it to her. 
    I ended up with it about 10 days later, she said it was still dumping. Needing a spare notebook, I offered $100 for it, ending up paying $150, but still came out way better than on eBay. 
    Once I got it, I placed the 6GB RAM back in there that I had, & also replaced the HDD with a extra Crucial M4 that was laying around. Right before swapping drives, I ran HD Tune (free) on the original, there were yellow attributes, meaning that it had issues pending. It's a 500GB Seagate HDD that runs at 7200 RPM. Just so happened, I lost a 500GB Seagate Barracuda desktop HDD (7200.11) less than a month ago. Booted the computer, the screen stated "No Operating System found". 
    So it could be either the HDD or memory (RAM). Or worse yet, the MB itself. Has it been dropped? Notebooks are fairly durable, but they don't take to being dropped very well. Does it run hot? If so, there may be severe dust buildup that's causing it to overheat, that will make it BSOD. My guess is that's it's one of the first three that I mentioned above & if it's the MB, forget it. Prices are too high, even for used ones & in a notebook, it's basically a total teardown to replace it. If it's a new MB, it may cost between $200 to $400, depending on popularity of the model. That's too much to pay to repair a computer built in 2010. 
    I'm trying to give some suggestions here, based totally on personal experience on my & other's computers that I work on. However, online it's a cat & mouse game. I don't want to tell you to purchase another HDD unless it's almost 100% certain that's the issue. Which is why I asked if you have a spare earlier. Also, try reversing the position of your memory sticks (a 5 minute job), it's behind that lid close to the battery underneath the notebook. 
    Post back if you need further assistance. Someone else may have other ideas, so follow the thread.
    Best of Luck,
    Cat

  • HT1975 How can I reset the gray location services icon that apears next to the app that used my location services in the past 24 hours? Or better yet is there a way to track how many times it's been doing it in the past 24 hours?

    My boyfriend likes to check up on me by using find my iPhone app. Sometimes I feel he goes overboard and would like to know how often he is watching me. The gray icon is always there because he watches me every day, but if there is a way to reset it do that I can check it time after time and see if he watched me again since the last time I checked. Or is there a way or an app that tracks how many times a devise has been tracked? I don't want to change my password because I like knowing that if I get lost in the woods he would find me :)) I just want to know his often he is watching me.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.
