How to update firmware with a Mac?

Hi there¡
I want to update my N95 with the 20.0.015 firmware version.
The point is that I am a Mac user, so I can't use the PC suite.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi koyote
As a Mac user I use Windows under BootCamp, although NSU may also work under a Windows emulator I personally would not be happy doing this.
I presume that there is no NCP within a reasonable distance to carry out software update for you?
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

How to update firmware with a boot camp'd macbook?

this is pretty frustrating..... there seems to be no way to update the firmware on a macbook that has had xp/vista installed. the disk is no longer a GUID type, it's an MBR disk now, and the EFI partition is gone. i could recreate the EFI partition but that wouldn't help at all with the GUID problem.
i installed mac os x onto a clean external usb drive, which is now a GUID disk with the right file system and so on... it doesn't have an EFI partition, which i would have thought the mac os x installer would have made. the firmware updater has the big ! on the disk and says it doesn't meet the requirements.
any ideas here? will the firmware update simply not run from an external drive? if so, how on earth is someone supposed to ever update their firmware if they use boot camp?

When you create GPT using Disk Utility on your USB/FW it will have EFI and GUID, but you won't see them until back in Windows.
And yes, you should be able to run firmware updates off USB drive with OS X. Should. But that doesn't always mean will/can or that it was even tested in that configuration
Boot Camp is for GPT with an MBR table to trick or allow Windows to install. If you formatted a drive internal as MBR you didn't use BC or at least not need to.

SSD's which are OK for updating firmware on a Mac?

I'm looking at a couple SSD's for a MacPro, any thoughts on which are OK with updating firmware on a Mac? Probably better to ask now before I need to..
Crucial M500 or Samsung 840 Pro? I'm assuming that OWC's offerings are probably the best for Mac compatiblity, any others?
thanks in advance.

Firstly there is a near identical question about setup of just days ago that hopefully you found and looked at in your research.
System on SSD / scratch for CS6 / projects
Lloyd's blog is full of tips: http://www.macperformanceguide.com
Start with what SSD (single) then get into multiple and setup and apps and how they are used, which really might be first thing to ask?
The Pro uses highest quality but both have much of the same controller and firmware - and it was just reviewed as to what the diference is. Find and read that.
Rick over on MacGurus setup an old working model for PS: a scratch disk + working project files is the fastest - was done with SCSI and then the first 10K SATA Raptor. Probably still holds true.
No you are not limited - I strongly suggest you set it up on Sonnet Tempo Pro RAID card and then use one 250GB 840 to start with, then add 2nd. Use one of the PCIe slots for your SSD(s). Maybe start with a 500GB.
Maybe use JBOD to combine two but not in RAID0.
The system can go on SATA II drive bay or optical bay.
Is there a one size fits all or to say this is the only way? of course not, you can though test and try and work with your budget, your Mac and move SSD to where it does the most good.
Samsung starts mass producing PCIe SSDs with 1400MB/s read speeds
When the new MacBook Air got the teardown treatment... a new SSD.
The new drive is known as the XP941 and Samsung will offer it in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB configurations. It achieves read speeds of 1,400MB/s, which clocks it at 2.5x faster than a SATA SSD. It also only weighs 6 grams and measures 80 x 22mm. Samsung claims it only takes up a 7th of the space occupied by a typical 2.5-inch SSD.

Samsung 840 Pro and Samsung 840 Solid State Drives Reviewhttp://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/samsung-840-pro.html [06/07/13 | Storage ]
Samsung currently offers very interesting solid state drives. Some boast outstanding performance, others – are built with inexpensive TLC NAND and come with a very appealing price tag. And our tests prove all of this: we are ready to discuss what we saw when we got our hands on a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB and Samsung 840 250 GB drives.
From last September, StorageReview article 840 vs 840 Pro - they were my favorite review site for storage for years.

Second only to TechReport

X-bitlabs is also one of my popular stops and they look at Sandisk
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/sandisk-ultra-plus.html
I am sold on Samsung though and feel the 840 will do fine for me, but I would use $$ to get Sonnet Tempo SSD or Pro from OWC.

How to update software with E71 directly?

I checked the instructions on the net but I dont understand them (see below).
Can some one help with this?
I have a Apple OSX so PC Suite is out.
Bluetooth connection between E71 & Apple laptop gets quite often into an endless disconnecting loop and I have to reboot both E71 and Apple laptop. Does newest E71 update help with that?
How do I use my device to update?Tip: It is always recommended to backup your data before updating your software. However, updating using your device does not necessitate a full backup.Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Key *#0000# into your phone's home screen or go to Device manager(consult your user guide if necessary) Select Options > Check for updates. Follow the on-screen prompts until your update is complete!The above instructions may not apply to all devices. For detailed instructions on updating your particular device, please select your model on the Device software update page.

FOTA is not available on the E71 so it cannot be updated directly.
On paper the E71 is compatible with FOTA but no FOTA updates have ever been released for an FP1 based device.
The only options are to do the update on a friends windows based PC or get it updated at a nokia care point. Nokia has never offered mac support for updates so it is not possible to update using the mac OS.
Care points/service centres and repair info:
UK • Europe • Asia-Pacific • USA •
Canada • Middle East and Africa
Elsewhere: Click here, select your country, go to the support section, then select repair.

How to update firmware on a Zen Mic

Hello,
i want to downgrad the firmware of my zen micro. i got a windows xp with sp2 and several updates. when i click on update i only see the time symbol and nothing happens neither on the desktop nor on my mp3 player.
i got the newest firmware with plays for sure. i tried it on a windows 2000 pc but there it is not detected.
i tried it with the recovery mode, and "erased" there the firmware, but actually it isnt erased.
how can i erase the firmware? how can i upgrade it's?

You can "downgrade", or at least go back to a v.xx PDE firmware version. The latest ..0 firmware is able to detect and downgrade from the v2.xx PFS/MTP firmware.

How to mirror airplay with a mac os 10.5.8

Hi everyone,
First, please excuse my english that may be low (I'm french...)
I've recently bought an Apple TV. But I have some trouble with it...
First the salesperson told me I could use the airplay mirror with any ios device, but I've figured out that it wasn't possible with a Iphone 4...
Then I wanted to use the mirror thing with my Macbook, but also found myself in trouble...Not working because of airplay or airserver isn't suitable for mac os 10.5.8.
I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on my mac, but can find an installation cd... Does anyone know how I could work this out ?
Any idea where I could find the sl cd ? Or how could I use the airplay mirror with my mac ?
Thank you guys !

In an ARS Technica review of AirParrot, they had this to say; "AirParrot runs on the latest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8), as well as Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8). And, it runs on any Intel-based Mac (though the older the hardware, the more it will struggle to stream at an acceptable frame rate). On my 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Air, video was just slightly choppy."
The reason they give for the choppiness was; "The reason, we discovered, is that the feature relies on Intel's QuickSync hardware-accelerated video compression technology. QuickSync is a feature of the integrated graphics built into Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge series processors."

OK, makes sense. Any idea what the DMG preference should be in Firefox?
It was set to "Always Ask"
... and I changed it to "Use MacOS"
The funny thing is that all the other updates (these were Add On updates) that I ran downloaded the DMG file and it started right up. It is only the Adobe products (Acroread, Flash, ect) that are having troubles, and they all get the same error.
BTW - Thanks for helping!
NEW UPDATE:
Found /System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter.app and set the Firefox preferences DMG file to use that now.
