IMac w/firmware upgrade not connecting thru chooser

Grade school iMacs (crt style) connect to library search software by selecting an alias on the local iMac that is for the program on the shared volume on the library Mac. This share is Read Only to everyone.
Any iMac running OS 9.x that does not have the firmware upgrade for OS X is connecting fine as they always have. Click the alias, brings up the chooser to do the STUDENT logon to the library share and begins the execution of the software on the local mac.
Some used iMacs that were added to the library have had their firmware upgraded for OS X. When these select the same alias - they get an error saying they do not have execution rights to the alias. But, if you manually go to the Chooser and log on to the libary share - then execute the actual program file - it works just fine.
So it appears that the firmware update has glitched the machine's ability to log on to the library share and execute the search program via the alias.
iMac iLamps (flat screen with round base)seem to work fine. Switch to OS9 via Classic, go through the Chooser and run the library search software. So seems our problem child(ren) is/are the CRT iMacs with the firmware upgrade.
Ideas? Anyone else run into this?
Thanks,

You didn't indicate how long the iMac was running without problems, before you decided to upgrade the memory. It's possible that the display's degraded picture quality is not directly related to the memory installation, since that procedure is relatively non-invasive on a slot-loading iMac. The board could have had a problem that would manifest itself after a sufficient period of ON time, that went unnoticed, prior to its sale on eBay. Sellers often buy pallets of computers in unknown working condition, that are stacked on top of each other and wrapped with plastic. Because the cases often have cosmetic damage, they're parted out. If the computer powers up and everything appears to be working fine, it's shut down and disassembled. If the unit were left ON long enough, perhaps any problems that it had (prior to being pulled from service) would eventually surface. I'd suggest trying the other board that you bought.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

My new iPhone 4s paired with my iMac but it will not connect to transfer files by bluetooth. It says the iMac is not supported!

My iPhone 4s will pair sucessfully with my iMac, but it will not connect so that I can transfer files via bluetooth. It says "bluetooth network not available" or "iMac not supported". Just insane. What to do now??

I can't pair my iphone 4s with my imac. It is very frustrating. I can walk by anything resembling a bluetooth and my iphone with pair...but not with my mac. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Why does my Apple TV disconnect from the internet while Im watching Netflix? If I reboot my Apple TV, it seems to stay connected longer, but it still disconnnects me from my Wifi every 10 mins or so. I am not connected thru the eathernet cable.

If you try by Ethernet you can verify if the issue is with your WiFi network or if your appletv is defect as most users do not suffer as you do

WRT350N firmware upgrade not working

Hi, I've just been given an unused WRT350N router.
I've had a few problems getting it setup on my MAC (OSX 10.5.6), but it transpired they were problems using Firefox which were resolved when I started using Safari. However, I still have one outstanding problem with upgrading the firmware....
I want to upgrade the firmware from the original 2.0.10 to the latest available of 2.0.19. I have downloaded this from the Support page, which gives me a readme text file and a .IMG file which i presume is the firmware file (all instructions I have found imply it should be a .BIN file)
I have connected my router to the MAC using a wired connection and followed the firmware upgrade instructions (selecting the .IMG file), followed the rest steps (including using the hardware reset button, and the software factory defaults option), but when the router comes back up it still says its at firmware 2.0.10.
I get no error messages, and have noticed that at the end of the upgrade it does NOT display the "Upgrade is sucessful, rebooting.." message.
I have been through this several times with same results. Any ideas please ?
Thank in advance.
Solved!

I have this same problem now with firmware for WAG54GS   the zip file produces a .IMG file after running winzip
This file is not acceptable to the firmware upgrade as a .BIN file.
The firmware is expecting a .bin format.   It does not like this .IMG file.
The documentation all refers to .bin.
Just renaming the file as .bin causes the linksys to abandon the upload.
I am on a Windows XP.       .BIN is UNIX/LINUX terminology.    Do I have to do the firmware upgrade on Linux?
Tried to get some software to checkout the   .img file but nothing likes it.
WAG54GSv1-E1-AnnexB-ETSI-ML-1.01.05-code.img is what my winzip gets.
What am I supposed do with this file to get it into the right shape for the     WAG54GS?
It wants   .bin file    not this?

Zen microphoto : firmware erased, not connected now

I decided to flash new firmware to my microphoto. This was the biggest mistake.
I have entered into recovery menu.Select load firmware and bang ! It erased it immediately, no confirmation no choice..Just erased it without asking. This is awful !
So, i didn't care too much for this at that time, because, i have already decided to flash new firmware.
My computer was recognizing microphoto before in media player. I plugged it and nothing..
Now, my computer didn't recognize it.
I tried all recommmendations from here
* It's Windows XP with SP2
* There was WMP, uninstalled it and installed WMP0
* I gave all permissions from registry to USB
Nothing...
I have removed it from Device Manager, and scanned. It's found. Then select the first option to install driver.XP searched and find not signed driver. I have pressed Continue Installation.But it's giving me some error.
While ZMP was working with my system, i mean i was able to transfer mp3s into it's disc, firmware application was still saying "the device is not connected"
How could this be possible ? If it's not connected, how my WMP or Windows explorer could see it ?
Any help appreciated... I want my ZMP back...What can i do now ?
Thanks

Hello,?I am experiencing the same problem with my MicroPhoto player. One day it froze on me, and since then the firmware has been acting up. It now goes to a "Firmware Problem" screen every time?I turn it on, and after attempting to remove and re-install the firmware 3 times, it has failed to work. Before I purchased the player, I had heard bad things about Creative replacement costs and how the Zen Micro has many problems as well. It looks like our players have lost the HDD and need to be replaced, which I assume will cost more than its worth... The one reason Creative will never beat out the iPod is because of their player glitches and lack of willingness to correct them. Anybody with more information on the hdd dying problem, could you let me know if you managed to send it in, and how much is cost, etc?

New Firmware Upgrade Not Needed

I tried to download and install the firmware upgrade posted today (v1.4), which is supposed to take my BootROM to MBP31.0070.B03 (it is currently identified as MBP31.0070.B02 in System Profiler). However, when I run the updater, it tells me I don't need the update.
Any thoughts?

The santa rosa chipsets (2.2s and 2.4s) may not need the firmware ?upgrade. If my 2.4 had needed the upgrade, it would have shown up in Software Update, and it did not.
I don't mind this at all. Firmware upgrades could be problematic and I love to avoid them where possible. All of the iLife and iWork upgrades came up on software update for me and installed and are working fine.

My imac running lion can not connect to a Windows PC on my network

My imac runing lion 10.7 can not connect to my Windows 7 pc on my network. When i select connect to server, I can see the windows computer but when i try to connect, i get the error message:
Connection failed. There was a problem connecting to the server. Ther server may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and try again.
I entered smb:// computer name and I tried smb://IP address. Neither would connect.
I am able to connect to the imac from my Window PC and access files but not I can not connect my iMac to the Windows PC.
I am trying to connect the two computers so that I can use a printer that is attached to the Windows 7 pc.
When I first downl;oaded and installed Lion, I was able to connect to the Windows 7 pc and use the printer attached to it.
I have tried 5 or 6 different suggestions to no avail. Both computers are up to date and the printer drivers are up to date.
Please let me know if there is a solution.

Be sure to make the network Workgroup name on the Mac and Windows boxes the same.
On the Mac it is in System Preferences, Network Preferences, Advanced, WINS
On the Windows machine check in the Control Panel where you will also find the Computer name listed. I don't have my PC running right now, so I am not sure exactly where it is. Only assign a Workgroup, do not create a Domain.
You can also search in Windows for Workgroup.
I can link/network Lion to Win7 and vice versa without any problems.

you are still on adslmax. have you had an email from BT advising you about the upgrade? If not it could be months before BT roll out 21CN to all users. You could try uk sales 08007830056 and see if they can help but may have to agree a new contract - gives chance to negotiate a new monthly cost

Maverick Mail upgrade not connecting to gmail?

Hi all,
I just upgraded to Maverick and Mail stopped being able to access my gmail account.
The first set of errors suggested that the port wasn't correct, so changed port and SSL permissions- all to no avail.
Deleted account and then tried to set up again- now I just get a message saying "An unexpected error occured"!!
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Amy

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your help.
This is the message from the Connection Doctor:
"Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of account preferences"
I have tried to change the SSL usage and also the port that was being used, but now the account does not appear in Accounts at all! So I have no way of changing any of the properties through Accounts.
I should also note that the connection to "contacts" and "calendars" appears to be fine. It's only Mail and Notes that it's having an issue with.
Thanks again,
Amy

PR0BLEM:One computer will not connect thru the hub

umm...well the problem is that there are 2 computers connected thru the hub but one says Limted or No Connectivy the other works fine we called the ISP and they said its the modem but its reciving a connection what could be wrong?

typically only one PC will go online through the router....what you need to confirm with your ISP is , how many IP's are they assigning to you at any given point of time....In case it's just one IP....I'd suggest that you get a router instead of using a HUB.

WRT610N after firmware upgrade lost connection to USB storage en Twonky media server not working

Hi,
I had firmware 1.00.00.B18 running on my WRT610N. I had successfully connected a 1.5Tb USB disk to the router and The UPnP media server (Twonky Media server 4.4) was running OK. Except that the Media Server sometimes had problems with its license key.
I read somerwhere on this forum that a firmwareupgrade would help so I installed 1.00.03.B15.
Since then the router will not see my harddisk anymore and the media server also has vanished. Access thrue http://192.168.1.1:9000/ to the Twonky server shows now "page not found".
The 1.5Tb disk is FAT32 formatted. I tried a smaller USB disk and supprisingly that one is recognized by the router. I ran several Harddisk test and repair programs on the 1.5Tb and they show no faults.
The only thing I have not yet tried is resetting the router.
Can you help?

I have followed the reset procedure but the situation stays the same.

Problems w/ BEFW11S4 V.2 Wireless router (Firmware Upgrade & Wireless connectivity)

HI Everyone,
I figurd I try this before I went out an bought a new wireless router.
I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v.2 wireless router/4port switch and I have (2) issues.
1st, on the HELP screen I have no link to 'upgrade firmware' - (currently using v1.40.2 Nov 28, 2001). I'v etried to download the uprgade and I have the .bin file saved, but have no idea how to upgrade without the UPGRADE link in Help.
Any ideas???
2nd, my wireless conenctions won't work (hence the reason I'm trying to uprgade the firmware - was hoping this might fix the wireless issue).
I have reset the device (reset button to factory defaults and currently have NO security setup for wireless - until I can get conenctivity working again).
Again, any ideas or experience with getting these sorts of problems resolved would be greatly appreciiated!
Thanks for reading this and for any help you might be able to provide.
P

Were you able to get your issues fixed? I too have had some connection issues with the same router, although mine is V.4. On mine I would loose all connectivity, not just wireless, at random times. It seems like it would happen a lot when I would use the wireless for my laptop (i.e. when I would bring it out of sleep mode). I have also had it happen with streaming media. The only way I can fix this issue is to power down the router for a couple seconds and then it's fine, until it happens again. I had two different guys from Linksys (try to) help me and I did everything they recommended and it still does it.
Hopefully you don't have the same issue...

Graphics firmware upgrade not working

Hi, I have a 24" iMac 2008 it requires a graphics card upgrade for installing windows 7 i have 10.7 lion running, but it says on checkingavailable disks that it cannot be installed on this disk as it needs 10.6 any ideas the update says 10.6 or later

I see where you are making an error, the advice letter you pointed to refers to:
Download and install the Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 if you run Microsoft Windows 7 using Boot Camp on your iMac (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT) or Mac Pro (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT or Quadro FX 4500) computer.
The early 2008 iMac uses the ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB of GDDR3 memory per
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP485
Therefore your system does NOT need the graphics update you're attempting to download.
