HT3421 Battery Update 1.4 won't run under 10.6.8?

Getting the 'Service Battery' warning under the battery menu, noticed some have mentioned the need to run Battery Update 1.4 but when I try to I get an error that I need Leopard 10.5.6 or better. Guess SL 10.6.8 doesn't qualify as 'better'?
FWIW: CoconutBattery reports: "MacBook 4,1 43 months old w/ 263 loadcycles with max 22% capacity"

I also updated to SnowLeopard directly when it came out, and shortly afterwards lost my power adapter so didn't use my Mac for two weeks.
Today found the power adapter again (thank god, 'cause those things are expensive) and now my Macbook won't charge! I found the Battery Update 1.4 might help me but that one isn't working on systems running SnowLeopard...
What to do? I know since recently (There was a critical story in my local newspaper about failing Macbook batteries) that a lot of batteries of the late 2008 series plastic Macbook are failing on people and that you can only charge one about 300 times. That sounds so weird to me because that would mean I'll have to spend €139,- every year on a new battery!!! That would make my Macbook cost a grand total of more than €1500,- if i'd use it for about 4 years.. Now that *****! (excuse my language but I'm truly shocked!)

Batteries die. All of them. Not all at the same time, of course, but there is no magic firmware or software solution out there that will stop batteries from dying.
Looking at your other post, you seem to need a new battery, not a software update.

Downloaded updates but program won't run.

I'm trying to open student loan information @ FAFSA. They're telling me I need to update my browser. I'm using Firefox so I've walked through prompts and programs still won't run. Any ideas?

Updating BIOS, Windows won't run the exe

I'm running Win7 Pro x64 and I want to update the BIOS on a a55m-p33 mobo. Live update just says 'download fail', so I've downloaded the file separately and put it on a pen drive as per the BIOS Update SOP. When I run the exe it says it isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
Anyone know why that would be?
Thanks.

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and point to the uncompressed archive from MSI or create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0), put the .exe on it and start it in dos (also described in the BIOS Update SOP).

Why did you quit supporting Mac OSX 10.4 ? I downloaded you update and it won't run.

I accepted your last online upgrade request and it worked for basic browsing, but the Comcast mail page stopped working correctly (the buttons: Save as Draft, Delete, Add attachment, etc. are inactive).
Thinking it was corrupted, I deleted the current version on my machine and installed the latest download and it tells me it won't run on this version of Mac OS.

Firefox 3.6.23 is still supported secure and will work with OSX 10.4
* see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
* download from http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all-older.html
Note do NOT use any options that say delete user settings, you will loose all profile information for all normally installed versions of firefox, so that is pass words and bookmarks etc disappear.
You mention Comcast
Note IDvault sometimes provided by Comcast has been associated with Firefox crashes (bug 684748) consider

* disabling or uninstalling the software if it is a problem

Battery update 1.4 won't install snow leopard

I bought a used macbook 2.0 2006 model. The battery in it was dead when I installed snow leopard. Now I have a new battery, but it will only charge to 92%. So, I installed battery update 1.2, which did nothing for the problem. Then I tried to install battery update 1.4 but could not get past the install screen. Is it because I have 1.2 installed and should I go to system core service and delete update 1.2 then install update 1.4

I have an update to my own post. Since I have a newly puhchased copy of Snow Leopard, I was able to call Apple tech support. Hear is what I found out from them. Battery update 1.4 is not compatable with Snow Leopard, it stops at Leopard. I still don't know why update 1.2 installed. I tried all the other things that Apple recomeds such as reset system management, zaping the pram and draining the battery.

Many of my applications won't run under Lion.

I used to run Tiger on a G4 Powerbook and a G4 Quicksilver. Now I have a new iMac running Lion but it does not support my PowerPC apps such as Toast or Popcorn. Also the drivers for many devices such as my printer, scanners and external LaCie HD aren't supported. Replacing everything is going to be expensive - any suggestions for workarounds? I'd also like to hear of any good DVD burning/copying applications that will run under Lion other than Roxio's.

You mentioned LaCie external hard drives - there is no driver needed for an external HD. Plug it in. If it is formatted correctly (which means it needs to be Mac OS extended (Journaled) and GUID Partition scheme (under Options) in order to be bootable on an Intel), there is nothing else you need. You may need to reformat to GUID if you're coming from a PPC. Note: back up your data first because the drive will be wiped,
I've used Toast and updated it - they usually have special update offers if you're coming from an earlier version. As for your printer and other hardware - if it is old but still works, you could keep using it with your old Mac (transfer whatever you want to print over to the old Mac and print from there) or start upgrading.

Some current apps won't run under IOS 4?

Just got this from RunKeeper
We wanted to reach out and warn you that the RunKeeper Free and RunKeeper Pro apps that you currently have on your phones are not iOS 4 compatible. New versions that are iOS 4 compatible are in the queue awaiting Apple's approval. We don't know if they will get approved before tomorrow (we hope they do), but if not, it should be any day now. In the meantime, if you wish to continue using RunKeeper while you are waiting, hold off on downloading iOS 4 until our next app version gets approved.
Is this going to be a general problem with older apps?

I suspect there are three categories:
1. Apps which will not run under OS4
2. Apps which will run under OS4 but not support multitasking
3. Apps which will run under OS4 and support multitasking
I understand Navigon has a new version in the wings in Cat 3.
Hopefully the iTunes app store will identify those which will not work in OS4. But I suspect we may learn about some the hard way, starting tomorrow.

MBP EFI Firmware Update 1.7 won't run

We have several MBP's (13 & 15) on Firmware 1.47f2 that will not take the 1.7 update. The installer says it is not needed. Any ideas?

Are you saying that they the update is showing up in Software Update... or are you trying to download and install it that way? I would think that all 13" MB Pros would have shipped with at least 1.6 on them.
Also... have you upgraded any of the hard drives in these machines (meaning have you purchased third party drives and installed them)? This won't be the reason for your update problem, but 1.7 doesn't seem to like third party drives.

Java 6 update 13 just won't run.

When I go to a website that requires Java, i get an error. I have uninstalled & reinstalled java several times with no improvement. Java is allowed on my Firefox & IE7 browsers Firefox is my default). Can anyone please help me?
TIA!

And here is the rest of the error messager.

DV4 Battery Issue - Battery Charges; But Laptop Won't Run From Battery Power

Greetings,
I have a DV4, and let me tell you - I am so over this laptop. I have had it for over a year, and in that time, the backlight went out 6 months into owning it, the battery died just after the one year mark, and the webcam has been broken since I sent this computer back to HP to have the backlight issue resolved. I will never buy a new HP ever again.
Now, the battery I have replaced in my laptop charges - but, when I unplug the laptop from the wall, the battery power does NOT switch over. I have had this battery a total of two weeks - it was working fine until last night. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, SoCal Cal. Take a good hard look at your battery contacts: both the ones on the battery itself and the "prongs" in the PB case that engage with the slotlike contacts on the battery. Are any of them significantly darkened/tarnished? Is there any debris or fluff on or in them? Clean out any foreign matter, then insert and remove the battery at least a dozen times in succession to see whether doing so will wear away any tarnish that may be impairing the necessary electrical connections. There's not really any easy, better way to clean the contacts, at least not the ones in the slots on the batttery itself. Then test again.
It sounds to me as though not all of the battery contacts are making good contact — though some of them obviously are, at least some of the time. Perhaps "working" the contacts this way will improve matters.
I really don't know what's going on with your machine; these are just shots in the dark.

I got an error while updating itunes, it won't run apple mobile device and gives a runtime error, can anyone help ?

I have Windows Vista Premium (64) installed on my pc, never had this kind of problem before. I mostly use this computer only for itunes...
I tried to re-install itunes without success, now it gives a runtime error visual c++ runtime library , says to re-install itunes with error 7 (windows error 1114)
Please help me! thanks !

I had the same problem. Use the uninstall feature to delete all of the Apple related programs that came with the recent download. There should be 3. Check the dates they were installed to be sure.
DO NOT DELETE any folders manually unless you want to lose playlists, etc.
Reboot your computer then reinstall. It worked like a charm for me!

ZEN touch won´t run under vista,also problem with firmware upda

i tried to connect my zen touch 20gb with my vista ultimate pc but it didnt work so i tried it by setting up a virtual machine (with xp on it running) and it recoknized it. then i tried to update the firmware and now i ended up with version 0.0. and can't put on another one....could someone explain to me how i can update the firmware (on xp or vista, nevermind) so i can use it again ?
tia,
chris?

I set up a fmware workstation virtual machine running winXP, after doing so it suddenly recognized the player also under vista (after selfinstall under the virtual xp-station!!!) , it was available as a virtual dri've and as a zen touch. i tried to update the firmware then under the xp sys but it had winMediaplayer on it which didn?t work with the zen touch as far as i know.On the VIsta machine? i tried to updade(get it to run) for hours, then tried to do everything new and started to remove every software and folders with creative parts in it, tried again etc but it wouldn?t work. the zen gave me a) the screen "syncroising" (for ever) or b)format, update firmware etc as options which didn?t work
?under _which_ system do i have to install _which_ firmware, software and what can the media player cause on problems please ?
i?m a music-junkie and i really NEEEEEEEEEED this machine !!!
thx in advance *bow*

I need to de-install Foxfire 6 and go back to Foxfire 5 on my Mac to run a picky program that won't run under Foxfire 6. I can't get install software for version 5 to run. It sees it as exe file.

When I drag the downloaded Foxfire 5 install file to my Applications folder, it shows up as an .exe file. When I double click to run it, I get an error message saying it is not DOS executable.

In the exact same boat here. Life-long iPhone user. Got a 6 on Tuesday and absolutely hate it to the point where I dread using it. Upgraded from an iPhone 4 I'd had for 4+ years. After making several phone calls, my understanding is that Apple will take it back no problem, within 14 days. My iPhone 4 was out of contract with AT&T but when I bought the 6, I renewed my previous contract for 2 years. My AT&T contract also has a 14 days, cancel for any reason with no early termination fee, clause. I assume your AT&T contract would have the same. But I don't think you need to worry about canceling your contract. Since you still have your iPhone 5, you should be able to bring it to the AT&T store, have them switch the existing contract from the 6 to your old 5 and then you can go return the 6 to the Apple store where you bought it. That's no different than being halfway through a two year contract, your phone is stolen and you have to buy a new one at retail price to replace it on your existing contract. You're essentially just bringing your own device you already paid for (the 5) to the existing AT&T plan.
I would just caution that assuming you want to keep your phone number, get the service put back on your 5 at AT&T and have them deactivate the 6 before you go return the 6. Or just make sure the Apple store is capable of transferring the service from the 6 back to the 5 while you're there to do the 6 return.

Photoshop CS5 won't run under Win7 64-bit

Photoshop starts, but as soon as I try to open any file, including a small JPEG, I get an annoying "Photoshop is no longer responding" type Windows OS message.
This occurs whether it's the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version
AMD Phenom 9750 Quad Core
4 GB ram
Completely updated Win 7 64-bit
500 GB SATA-II HD
24" HP Monitor 1920x1200
Standard USB KB and Mouse
Video:
º Share Memory: Maximum up to 256MB
º On Chip ( NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE-based. 2D/3D graphic engine)
º Integrated DirectX 9 graphics processor
I can't see myself plunking down any money for this unless it works on my work station.
Any ideas? This must be a legitimate problem as I have seen other similar issues on 64 bit Win7 posted.
Thanks all!

I'll move this thread over to the forum that serves Photoshop CS and not Photoshop.com
