IMac ATI Radeon HD Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.1

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacatiradeonhdgraphicsfirmwareupdate101. html
I have a 24inch imac with ATI Radeon HD 2600, ROM Revision: 113-B2250F-219.
Upon trying to install the update, it says my computer doesn't need it, even though it looks like my rom is older than the version in the update (113-B2250L-259).

according to ASP on my 20inch iMac Alum;
ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT:
Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2400
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x94c8
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-B2250A-207
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.207
And the installer does not continue at all but just say that I do not need the update...

ATI Radeon HD 2600 firmware update and others

Hi all,
About a month ago my 1 month old 2.4 imac was replaced with the 2.66 on account of noise after the firmware update. I do have quite a few software updates now and I am a bit concerned about updating them. I am also very new to using a MAC.
1. ATI Radeon HD2600 which updates the firmware ( I have absolutely no problems with graphics)
should I leave well enough alone and NOT update.
2. Mac OSX update to 10.5.3 (I am not having any issues now running 10.5.2}
3. Airport Utility 5.3.2 and airport base station Agent (is this what is built into my computer?]
4 iTunes 7.6.2
5. Quicktime 7.5
6 Pro Application Update 2006-02 { I do not have any of the programs that this update mentions}
Has anyone updated any of these same updates and experienced problems. Have not seen posts concerning the Radeon Update
I have been reading some posts about the 10.5.3
Just wondering if I should leave well enough alone and not do any of these. Computer has been great so far.
Thanks in advance.

These are varied and different updates that you have listed all together; one is an update for the graphic hardware on your Mac, a few are updates to Mac OS X itself and lastly there are a couple which update individual applications/technologies on your Mac.
Do you have a clone backup of your Mac's current situation? If so, with the exception of the hardware update, implementing each update individually would allow you to evaluate the update and "roll back" to your clone if it was unsatisfactory.
Bare in mind that future updates to Mac OS X or the primary applications/technologies on your Mac may well require that these previous updates have been installed. There is the possibility that Software Update will not notify/alert you of an update available because the previous update has not been installed.
I have every update/upgrade applicable to my particular iMac model installed. I have no issues and have never had any issues.

Trouble installing iMac Graphics Firmware Update 1.0

hey guys im having trouble with my imac 27in running on mac os x 10.4.11 ati radeon 2600 tiger... My screen started to washout as many imacs have since so i been trying to fix it i found the firmware graphics update but more some reason when i try to install it says" i cannot install computer dosent need update" but my screen is barely visible any suggestions?? thank you

Hello miata1
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Exactly which model iMac do you have?
Before 2007 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1463
or after 2007 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1758
If you have a newer 27" model, then neither Tiger, Leopard or earlier version of Snow will run on it?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186
If it has an ATI Radeon 2600 graphic's chip, then it is most likely a 24" Late 2006 white Intel iMac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
If you are told that the update is not needed, then either the update is not for that iMac or it has already been updated.
As for the screen problem, it would help if you can describe in detail exactly what it looks like?
Is it faded, does it have lines, is the color off, or what?
I would first, go to Apple > System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing and in the Display: section make sure that the Enhance contrast: is set to Normal.
Then next, go to Apple > System Preference > Displays > Color and select a different Display Color Profile.

Question about imac graphics firmware updates

My Imac model identifier is imac8,1; the machine is a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I am running OS 10.6.7. I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card.
Firmware Update 1.0.1 is apparently installed, since my graphics ROM version is 113-82250L-259.
Symptoms occurring within last 6 months or so: Without notice, the screen goes black, though I can detect light “behind” (i.e., it doesn’t look powered off). The only remedy I’ve been able to get to work is to use the power button (or unplug) to turn the machine off. I don’t know whether the system has frozen or not. I’ve looked at the console and system log, but I can’t tell from them what’s happening.
I have reset the SMC and PRAM. The computer passes the extended Apple Hardware Test.
My question: is one or both of the imac graphics firmware updates 1.0.2 (September 10, 2009) or 2.0 (June8, 2011) appropriate for my machine?

If there is an update to your particular graphics firmware, Software Update will let you know; if there is nothing showing there, it means there is no update available for your configuration. Do not simply download from the Apple website and install something that could cause havoc on your machine.
I'm not sure what the problem might be, but it could be graphics card and/or logic board related. Since you've already done the SMC and PRAM resets, unless someone else has another idea, I'd suggest booking an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free evaluation and diagnosis. If the problem is intermittent, take screen shots or video of it so you can show it to them.

Aperture 3, Snow Leopard, iMac ATI Radeon X1600 and graphics issues

I have been searching the web to see if 10.6.4 has finally solved the graphics issues with the white iMac 2.16 intel with the ATI Radeon X1600 graphics processors and seen some mixed reviews. What is the consensus here, has 10.6.4 finally solved the graphics issues when editing photos in Aperture 3 (not to mention problems with iPhoto and iChat also). I had to downgrade to Leopard before so I don't want to upgrade to SL again and go back down the downgrade path. Thanks in advance for the feedback

I can say that 10.6.4 has worked out the kinks for my white 24" iMac with 7300GT card. From what others have posted here, it appears the x1600 issues have been resolved as well. I was running 10.6.2 prior to this update and advising everyone else of same. Of course, 10.6.2 and SL was not perfect, with some issues cropping up here and there. IMHO the 10.6.4 release is equivalent to the 10.5.3 release by comparison. In fact, I upgraded my Mac mini after my good experiences with 10.6.4 on my iMac. Not sure if this helps or not.

TS3824 How can we install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu?

How can I install the iMac Graphics Firmware Update 2.0, if the screen is white and I can't get to the Apple menu? My computer has 5 vertical purple lines against white screen at startup before the Apple logo appears and the spinning gear...then everything disappears and the screen hangs on the white screen. I have tried unplugging and removing all my peripherals and the COMMAND, OPTION, P & R set of keys and still nothing. I have tried COMMAND C to start up from cd and it only tells me to turn off the computer and turn it back on. I found information on Apple's Support pages regarding the iMac Graphics Firmware Update but I am unable to download and install if I can't get to the Apple menu. Can anyone help?

You may have hardware problem, I think a visit to your local Apple Store or AASP is in order.

IMac freezes with Halo UB game - after graphics firmware update

Hi
The graphics firmware update works good - the couple of things I found to freeze it work fine now.
But I have found one way to get the freeze and black screen plus the ASIC error in the system.log.
Open Halo UB 2.0.2 and set the video options to use 1920x1200. When I have it at 1344x840 or whatever, the game is fine.
But when I try to set Halo UB to 1920x1200, I get the freeze thing. Halo says it has to test the new video settings and says to hit escape if no dialog appears. Once I accept that, then the screen goes black and the freeze hits.
So I'm happy that everything's working good for all the other normal causes of the freeze. Hopefully Apple can now track down this issue.
Anyone else out there have Halo UB to try this out?
Maybe it's my Halo UB install. Mine was a fresh install this morning though.
good luck!
let me know...
thanks!

Freezes with Jedi Academy as well, freezes after iMac update, 10.5.1 install, Firmware Update (which i had to do with Pacifist)...
just Freezes and everything needs to be restarted, haven't tried the HALO thing yet, not sure if i want to push my luck...

Screen no longer works after Graphics Firmware Update

I received my new IMAC 20 inch a couple of days ago. Worked like a charm. perfect.
I received a request (software update) to update the Graphics firmware for the ATI 2600 processor.
I performed the update, but I can no longer use the IMAC. The screen just stays black, no longer displays any information. I hear the hard disk working thru the startup process, but the screen just stays OFF.
I zapped the PRAM, and restarted many times. No success.
Please help. It worked so fine before this major trouble.
Patrick

The iMac Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 states:
This update is for 20-inch and 24-inch aluminum iMac computers with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO graphics processor, running Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later with iMac Software Update 1.2.1 for Tiger, or Mac OS X 10.5 with iMac Software Update 1.3 for Leopard.
Perhaps you meant OS 10.5.1. The above update also states:
Note: If you are running Mac OS X 10.5.1, iMac Software Update 1.3 is included.

Photoshop CS3 and ATI Radeon 2600XT Graphics ERRORS

I am Running photoshop CS3 on a mac pro 2.8GHz 8-core with and ATI Radeon 2600XT graphics card. On any size file, from a small jpeg to an enormous tif, any time I pan around the image, the monitor will repeat a section of the image over and over to fill the screen. That is to say, panning vertically will fill the screen with copies of a random horizontal section of the image (20pixels wide or so). The effect goes away as soon as I perform another action that affects the entire image (zoom, action undo, create new layer, etc.). I have updated photoshop and osx with all available software and firmware updates.
An example of what this looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26107441@N02/2450960322/

I am running the same Mac hardware with a Mitsubishi 2060u, 1600x1200, 85Hz (CRT). I am having no such issues with PS CS3. I tried the monitor at 60Hz as well which also worked fine.
Do you have all the latest updates installed including the 2600 firmware update?

Frozen at the "Graphics Firmware Update 1.0" dialog

I installed the Nov 15 graphics update on my iMac 24", but when I clicked the "update" button on the "Graphics Firmware Update 1.0" dialog, it just froze.
The dialog has not showm any progress since I clicked the "update button". It has just been sitting there for about 30 minutes. I can move the mouse, but nothing I click on responds.
The bad thing is that this dialog box warns you not to touch anything or else the computer will not boot.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Well, I gave up and rebooted. It did reboot, and when I logged in, I got a dialog box saying the graphics was updated to version 1.0.
However, when I rebooted using bootcamp, Windows still shows the ATI Mobility HD 2600XT driver as being version 8.390.0.0 6/14/2007. That's what it was before installing the update.
I thought updating the Leopard would update the bootcamp partition as well. Is this supposed to be done separately? Or maybe when the updated froze, it didn't update the Windows side. In which case I would have to uninstall/reinstall the update.
I am guessing here. I have no idea what to do. Does anyone know the answer?

I seem to be going backwards!

How to install Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 in Lion?

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a 27" iMac with a NVidia 7600GT graphics card. Knowledgebase article HT3986 says that Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 must be installed first. I downloaded the firmware update but on running it says the Mac OS X 10.6 is required but I've already upgraded to Lion.
I was able to install Windows 7 but I have to disable the graphics card for it to boot and use it in VGA mode.
How can I install the firmware update?

I used BC 4.0. I don't remember installing the firmware update and thought it likely that I would skip it as I didn't intend to install Windows.
Here's the system profile information:
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT:
Chipset Model:          NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Type:          GPU
Bus:          PCIe
PCIe Lane Width:          x16
VRAM (Total):          256 MB
Vendor:          NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID:          0x0391
Revision ID:          0x00a1
ROM Revision:          3022
I can't find info on what to look for on this iMac to know if it's been updated.

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
Thanks,
Kevin

I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

10.5.5 + PowerMac G5 w/ ATI Radeon X1900 Graphics Card (256MB) Bad combo.

10.5.5 is not displaying video properly. Elgato seemed to have narrowed it down to a specific computer setup with an OpenGL change from the 10.5.5 update.
http://support.elgato.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3097
My screen shot is the one used in the knowledgebase document. I now see that Apple DVD Player and flip4mac in quicktime have the same look. The audio is fine. VLC can play all of the files with no problem.
If you have the same setup:
PowerMac G5 tower (single or multiple processor), with a ATI Radeon X1900 Graphics Card (256MB) please post if you are having this problem or not.

The fastest way (which will take a while) is to:
1) Make sure you have an up to date backup with time machine.
2) Boot from your Leopard install disc or disc that came with your computer.
3) When choosing an install method you can choose an archive and install or erase and install.
4) After the OS is installed it will ask you if you want to restore files from another drive, partition, mac or time machine.
5) Choose time machine and get your files restored.
6) Once the mac is started up.
7) Go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html and download the 10.5.4 combo update.
8)You then need to use software update to install all of the updates that came after 10.5. UNCHECK the 10.5.5 Combo Update. You can even select to ignore that update by checking the box next to so that it is selected and then selecting ignore update from the update menu in the menu bar.
I have not tried using Time Machine to go back an OS version. I will experiment with that.
I can also tell you how to clone your drive to another drive using the same DVD as above and two hard drives.
I hope this helps.

Is my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard?...

Hello guys, I was just needing to know if my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard, the reason I'm asking is BC I'm needing to upgrade my Video Card to NVidia so that I can get 60 FPS in my Games, right now I'm getting half that which is 30 FPS and sometimes it drops to 4 FPS. LOL can you believe that?, 4 FPS LMAO come on man, somethings gotta be better than ATI Radeon 3100....Hope to hear from you...

I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1609878
Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.
