I cannot update the BIOS or even reinstall the current BIOS.

Every available version of the BIOS for my Pavilion dv9612ca claims that it is 'not for this model'
I am trying to resolve an issue where the OS ( Vista 32 bit ) no longer detects the CD/DVD drive. It does show in the BOOT Configuration when I go into SETUP for the BIOS.

Thanks, I tried the REGEDIT first, and rebooted a couple of times to no avail. I then did a full restart and ran tried the FIXIT script. I completed with a failure, saying that it could not detect a CD/ROM device. I took this to mean it failed, but when I rebooted it later DEVICE MANAGER now shows the DVD/RW finally.
I don't understand why it took so many reboots, but something seems to have fixed the detection of the device.

Re: Tecra A11 - Cannot update latest BIOS

I'm reinstalling my operating system and would like update the whole laptop, but I cannot update my BIOS. I downloaded the latest release (B2.90-WIN-EC1.90) but it keeps telling me that this computer is not supported. What can I do?
I used the notebook detection tool on the website and 'm currently using Windows 7 Pro x86 with BIOS v2.30.
Toshiba Tecra A11-11J (PTSE1E-00E00EDU)

Thread can be closed, I solved the problem by installing the Value Added Package. Which enabled the BIOS setup to execute.

I cannot update the song information on my iPod in iTunes.

I got an iPod Touch 4g about a year ago. Last month the iPod all the sudden stopped working. I took it into the store twice and the second time they simply replaced it with a new one. Since then I have been having two problems:
1) The operating system has been running extremely slowly. I brought it into the store today and they suggested reinstall the OS and that this should fix the issue with it. I can't really ***** that problem right now.
2) I for some reason cannot update the song information on the iPod directly in iTunes. If I change the name of the song or the album or genre in Itunes that is actually on the iPod, it'll show up as changed in Itunes but on the iPod itself it hasn't changed. On my old one, whenever a change was made it would often say, "One moment while library updates." It doesn't do this on my replacement.
In order to change information for the songs, I need to delete the copy off my iPod, update the information on the computer copy and then retransfer it over. Is there some setting I need to change in order for the changes to take place. I would like to avoid going back to the store a fourth time.

1) Powering off nd then back on the iPOd tends to fix the lag problem for a while
2) The problem with updating music is a known problem with iOS 5 and as you found out, you have to delete/unsync the music form the iPod and then resync.

Why i cannot update the digital camera RAW COMPATIBILITY UPDTE 5.0.4 AND ALWAYS ASK TO UPDATE IT WITHOUT UPDATING

why i cannot update the digital camera RAW COMPATIBILITY UPDATE IN MY macbook pro with retina display and always ask me to update it without success

Because something is wrong. Most likely, either:
(1) your Mac OS X Startup disk is damaged and you need to repair or reinstall OS X,
- or -
(2) you are not following the correct update workflow and should use the help from this Apple article.
For instance, if you are trying to update via  > Software Update..., restart Mac and download and install the Download Center version: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.04.

Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
Any clue?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

How do I delete apps when I cannot get the red x, I cannot update the iPad because of lack of memory space. I heard it was a bug in the last version of the op.system, any ideas?

I cannot update the iOS because of lack of memory (3.5 GB required). The apps cannot be deleted because I cannot get them red x in memory management or when they shake for reorganization. I heard this was a bug in the last update of the op. system. So what is the process?

From where did you hear this..?

DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions...

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
function in the software, I don't get it.
When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
to work with, without being connected to them.
I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
the license fpr LR5 via internet.
Best regards
Karl

HT5957 After downloading iOS 7 on my mini iPad I cannot download apps fron the Apps store.likewise I cannot update the apps that needs to be updated. Please advise.

After downloading iOS 7 on my iPad mini I cannot download apps from the Apps store. Likewise I cannot update the existing apps which needed updating. In addition apps would just close or hang up.please help. How can I correct these?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
I'm curious...
What happens when you attempt to download from the App store?

I cannot update the iphoto ap on my mac os x because it looks for the ID I used when buying it and I forget the password to that email.
The emails is obsolete so I cannot get the password from the service provider.
I have another Apple ID and password which I use - but it won't let me update the iPhoto I bought with THIS cMac

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Error - apple tv cannot play the current song

I have something of a problem with playing audio files on my Apple TV. Most of my songs were encoded as AAC files using FAAC (version 1.24.1May 17 2005), and when I try to play these on the Apple TV (synced or streamed), I get the message "apple tv cannot play the current song". However these songs play fine on both my Mac and all of my iPods.
Songs that I have ripped using iTunes play fine on the Apple TV, but these are only a fraction of my total music collection.
I really want to avoid having to re-encode all my music with iTunes, so is there another solution? I guess I would really like the Apple TV software updated so that it plays these files, but I won't hold my breath. In the meantime, it would be useful if I could smart sort all my music so that I can identify which tracks are compatible with the Apple TV, but I can't see a way of sorting by the 'encoded with' meta data.
Alternatively, maybe there is way of converting the FAAC-encoded tracks to look like iTunes-encoded ones???
Any suggestions most welcome at this point!

Thanks for the hint, but I've checked the tags both from within iTunes and using Media Rage, and I can't see anything untoward. I'm no tagging expert, so I may have missed something, but I'm getting that sinking feeling of knowing that I've got to re-import 1800 tracks
BTW, if I re-import the AAC files back into iTunes, they play okay; but I don't like the idea of the 'double-lossy' compression, and I'm sure I can hear the difference.

I cannot update the BIOS or even reinstall the current BIOS.
