I need Help updating Open Firmware!

I'm struggling to update to MacOSX 10.2 from 9.2 however every time I try to boot up the system with the OSX CD I get the "WSOD"(White Screen of Death) that lets me do nothing. So I try accessing the Open Firmware and I still get a question marked disk icon after booting with CD. I currently have Open Firmware version 2.01f.
Where do I go from there? Can memory be an issue.

"" Open Firmware is not the same as the machine's firmware version, in spite of the similar names. Open Firmware can not be upgraded; firmware can be upgraded. ""
Unless it is me, this rather tells me it is one in the same.
(Sorry for breaking out in a story) ....
When I did my iMac V 1.2 firmware upgrade, my iMac Firmware version was 3.0.f3 then changed to verson 3.0.f2 within the Open Firmware screen.
mrjcd and myself did later discover some later iMac 333 did ship with a 3.0.f3, build date 07/16/99 of which was not like my iMac 333, 3.0.f3, build date 12/02/98.
As a result of Apple System Profiler is not able to report things properly, so using Open Firmware is rather a must in confirming the real need for the firmware update.

  • WRT54GP2A - I need help updating my firmware

    About a month ago, i started using a linksys router on my cable internet. Now recently i've been getting random disconnections that last about 15-20 seconds.
    My model of my Linksys router is WRT54GP2A.
    I checked on the linksys site for updates for my router and this the link:
    http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54GP2A-AT/download
    I have version 1. And no updates are shown.
    Help please!

    If you're having problem on both wired and wireless connection, you can try to play around with the MTU settings on the router. You can also reflash the firmware of the router and do not forget to reset the router.

    Hi Puneet,
    What exactly are you trying to do? Can you describe where in the system you are doing it? There are different options....
    What about a document report with a link to the Web site URL you want to open?
    What about a read-only URL field on the document, populated with the URL you want to open?
    What about the desktop links channel?
    Lots of different ways to skin that cat (sorry cat lovers) ..your code looks like it might be the most difficult approach.

    Hi,
    You may need to design the site again in older version OR may be copy and paste in place from new to old except what is new in the latest version.
    Hope that helps!

  • Hi anyone. Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB. I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera. Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

    Hi anyone.
    Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB.
    I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera.
    Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

    Hello,
    If it is a PowerBook G4 with a PC Card slot, you have two possibilities. You could buy a USB card reader for SD, or a PC Card adapter (such as SanDisk's 6-in-1adapter). Please note that you are or may be limited to plain SD (that is, not SDHC) unless otherwise noted. For a USB reader, make sure that it has Mac support. BTW, is an SD card absolutely necessary for the firmware update; is there not a way of updating via cable? If you post back with the camera model, someone may be able to provide additional information.

  • HT1338 need help updating to snow leopard

    need help updating to snow leopard

    Hi Billy,
    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

    Your post is devoid of the relevant information – what is the camera in question?

    I need to update my firmware on my airport extreme, but I don't remember my password?

    did you not have your keychain remember it for you? this is the best way to save passwords for Mac its under "Utilities-->Keychain access" if it was saved and just not put in your password field you can check in there for the password.
    if you need to reset your AP Extreme there is a small hole on the back locate that and follow the instructions here

  • Do I need to update my firmware?

    I'm about to be moving to a new MacBook Pro. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that before running Migration Assistant to move any data files that I need to ensure my firmware is current. How do I determine if this is the case?

    You do not need to update the firmware on a 17-inch PowerBook prior to running the Migration Assistant, and there are no firmware updates available for your computer.

  • Need help updating OS 10.2.1

    I need to update my system software to 10.2.8. I have dial-up which is extremely slow, so I thought I'd update in parts rather than using the combo update. I had no trouble getting from 10.2.0 to 10.2.1. I've downloaded the 10.2.2 update three times. It seems to be working fine until I open the update icon. It says "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code 1000)". I can't find anywhere what kind of error this is. I have an old imac. I didn't think that would matter since I'm already in 10.2.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi JEL,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    The 10.2.8 Combo Update is 97 MB, the sum of all interim updates is more than 136 MB. Furthermore I saw, that the 10.2.5 Update is not online anymore. Use a download utility such as SpeedDownload or iGetter to download the 10.2.8 Combo update. With these you can interrupt, pause and resume any download.
    Also, do not forget to Repair permissions before and after an update!
