Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO does not boot

Hello everyone
Yesterday I tried to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 but I got stuck because I have an Intel SSD inside and it seems that MacOSX 10.8 doesn't have the right driver on board. So I downloaded the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool 2.0.6 ISO, burned it on a CD with DiscUtility and tried to boot from it.
The problem is that it doesn't boot from the CD. It just ends with the blinking/flashing question mark folder.
Luckily I have a second MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 from work. Just out of couriosity I inserted the disk inside this MacBook and tried to boot from it.
Everything went fine. I saw the Intel Firmware Updater etc.
So now my question: What is going on with my first mac? Why does it NOT boot the CD?
What I need to say at this point: I burned the CD with the MacBook from work. Could this be the reason?
hope someone can help me
Best Regards
krebbl

yes that's right. Unfortunatly I don't have a Windows PC.
But like I said, my second MacBook Pro boots from this CD and shows me the firmware updater. My first MacBook with the Intel SSD does not.
And like in the post here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57575091-263/intel-x25-ssd-incompatible-wit h-os-x-10.8.3/ it should be no problem.
Are there other ways to boot an ISO file?

Intel SSD firmware update tool doesn't work on X201

Intel has published a bug-fix update for the firmware, how do we get it?
I bought an overpriced accessory (Ultrabase+CDROM) specifically to update the firmware, and it didn't update. More details here: http://communities.intel.com/message/115357#115357

You have to update the firware via Lenovo not intel.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

Try the Lion Community, and bookmark the notebook community (this is not).
You will probably need to provide others with more information too.

Firmware update for 6131 does not work

I am trying to upgrade the firmware on a 6131. Following the instructions on the site leads me to navigate the following path: Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone updates > Download phone software.
Bzzzzzz. No. 'Download phone software' is not an option. Only 'Current software details' and 'Install software update'. The latter option is dim, and selecting it returns a message: 'No software to install', obviously, because it has not downloaded it.
So I try to push the software from Nokia's web site: http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,77073,00.html > Get Advanced Settings > Accept Terms > Start > model 6131 > Next > Nokia software (firmware) update over-the-air > Enter security code and my phone number > Order Settings
The page claims it has sent me a text message, including the new software, but it never arrives. I tried with with other 'settings' from the same page several times, and the text messages did arrive just fine for those.
Please help. Thank you,
--Jimbo -
P.S. In case you are wondering, the reason I am trying to update the firmware is that the status of the voicemail waiting indicator is never updated. I have seen at least a dozen posts about that issue, but never one with an answer attached. So this is my next step.

Do you mean you're having a problem trying to download the update, install the update, after the update is installed trying to re-activate the phone? I assume you're getting this message on your PC, not the phone...? Or are you having problems with Internet connectivity on the phone itself? WiFi or 3G?
If it's problems on the PC, try disabling all antivirus/firewall software and see if that takes care of it.

Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 does not install

I just got notification from Software Update that a firmware update for my Apple Aluminum Keyboard was available. I attempted to install it and after three attempts, I got "Unexpected Error (3:4)". That's it. Nothing else. I didn't find any further information associated with the download and no other documentation. I did go as far as removing the keyboard from a KVM switch and USB Hub and connected it directly to my G4 Mac Mini. Still no success. Does anyone have any clue about software/firmware updates for peripherals that fail in this way? I've had the keyboard for about 3 months.

I also had the error "An unexpected error occurred (4:3)" when installing the Keyboard Firmware Update. I resolved the matter by unplugging my KVM switch (and all other USB devices) and by connecting the keyboard directly to the computer.

Software updates- Security&safari 3.1 update... does not boot

hi everyone,
i'm trying to help my room mate out with a problem. he has a mac mini intel 1.66ghz. he does have 2gb ram installed by a apple certified tech a month ago and it is problem free.
here's the dirty stuff. so first off, he has a western digital My book home edition 320gb usb/fire external with his files on it. when he restarted his computer after coming back home for the weekend, the error came up that that went system error, and it could not find certain files related to the mybook. it almost seems like the data was corrupted or deleted, he did not move or touch any files with the hard drive. i know there have been issues with the quality and hard drives failing particularly my books.
so the computer worked we tried to unplug ang plug back in the HD. also restarted the computer.
he had to also reinstall office 04, that went fine and worked. we also noticed that the printer he had connected could not be found, in sys. pref. we could not add the printer to the preferred list and it was searching for drivers on the bottom with a grey spinning wheel.
we gave up on trying to work on those two problems. he was working on a worpad doc and a powerpoint. finished, saved, and then installed the security updates for safari (3.1) and also i believe the 3/18 security update. we did the needed restart and then the mac got stuck on the grey apple boot screen with the spinning grey wheel.
we ran the disk utility, verified, there was a problem it was an incorrect volume, or piece on the internal HD(can't remember what the exact error on the HD was) so repaired it and it said it was ok. ran a verification again and it said it was ok.
so we try the restart and the screen is still stuck on the grey/apple logo/ spinning wheel.
...help!
so could this be an issue with the software update? is it the problem with the disk repair? we ran it a few times to verify and it said ok each time. we did not verify permissions...dont know if thats possible in the DU on the tiger cd.

First item: You should always repair permissions and verify (and if necessary repair by booting from another drive and using Disk Utility) any volume before doing updates. Also repair permissions after doing an update. Finally, I always clone (100% bootable backup) my drive before running any updater just in case something doesn't work.
I'm not expert enough to tell you what those extensions do, but I'd guess that because you didn't run the updater on a properly repaired drive that something didn't get installed properly and that's what's giving you trouble. In that case re-running the installer on the now hopefully repaired drive might work to install those components correctly. Again, remember to repair permissions before and after.

Problem: My iMac went through a recent update and it does not boot back up now. Any solutions?

I recently had an update to my OS on my iMac and when it restarted the iMac never rebooted again. This has never happened before and it has been three days of retrying to boot. Any help is geatly appreicated.

More info please.
Is this a newer Intel iMac? You are in a forum for older PowerPC iMacs. What update? There hasn't been any updates for PowerPC Macs in years.
Please be more specific with your Mac issues, please.

After updating the system does not boot anymore!

I made an usual update with 'pacman -Syu' and since I saw a kernel update I rebooted...
After reboot the lilo menu appears, it autoselects arch after 2 seconds, it appears
boot:
loading arch........................... .................................
nothing more. No errors, no messages at all!
It is the same also using the fallback.
What happened? Can I do something or I have to reinstall arch from zero?
edit: typo
edit2: it can be related to the fact the I have /boot partition and lilo in different disks?
Last edited by ezzetabi (2007-06-03 18:31:34)

I see, so now I have to start the machine with the arch CD. Mount the drives, chroot the directory where I mounted and starting lilo should solve.
Thanks everyone.
edit: it worked! Thanks everyone.

After 10.8.2 update my mac does not boot !

I stay on the gray screen.
With the recovery disk i try now to reinstal a frech 10.8.2 !
Thanks Apple !

If your problem is linked to the PARAGON Kext, you don't need your back-up. Just boot in save mode (Shift key), download your PARAGON Product and run the uninstaller from the Paragon Disk image.
To see if your problem is related to Parogon, first boot in console mode (command s) and after 5 lines the kernel is blocked by the Paragon Kext (you could read it on the screen).
For another issue boot on the recovery (option) and then chose your backup.

Table Output text tool tip does not update on PPR

We have a adf table with a Lov and a out put text .
On changing the LOV, the out put text also change . but, on we mouse over on the tool tip does not changed . any suggestions ?
below code :
<af:outputText value="#{row.PlanTitle}" id="ot4" partialTriggers="soc3 si2"/>
However , if we refresh the table or reload after save , the toop tip also get change . but we need to update the tool tip on change the lov . any suggestion ?
Jdev : 11.1.1.3.0
browser : all ,

Hi,
taking it from:
+"However , if we refresh the table or reload after save , the toop tip also get change . but we need to update the tool tip on change the lov . any suggestion ? "+
The autput text component is part of a table ? If so then the table needs to be refreshed as the values in there are stamped. If I am wrong with my table assumption and the output text is part of a form, try setting clientComponent="true" for the output text field

Tecra Z50-A-11V: New SSD but Win 8.1 does not detect it

We bought a Crucial M550 256GB disk and want to replace in a Toshiba Tecra Z50-Av1
We do not want to make any transfer of data or cloned.
We want to do a clean install with Windows 8.1
The BIOS recognizes the SSD
But when you install Windows 8.1 does not detect any disk connected to the unit and requested additional drivers. Windows not detect drive

But always the drive CRUCIAL is not reconized by the boot instalation of windows
The problem is similar with ubunto, kubuntu, .... the drive is detected with the BIOS but not for the OS.
any help?
Thanks

Hi
Did you solve this issue?
Could you install the Windows 8.1 system on this SSD drive?
I think the additional driver installation while setup procedure isnt necessary since Win 8.1 should already contain the essential drivers.
From my point of few there could be an compatibility issue (maybe SSD firmware update would solve this).
How about the usage of other SSD drives? Do you have the same problem using other SSD drives from other manufactures?
Feedback would be appreciated.

X230 SSD Firmware Update help

Hello,
We are currently having some issues with waking up a X230-2324CTO from a sleep. When awoken from sleep it is unable to open any programs. Programs for example an icon on the taskbar will glow up like if you would normally open a program but then will return to a normal icon like suggesting it was never pressed and no program will open.
Our hope is that the solution is a SSD Firmware update. The have the system updated with every update available for the X230-2324CTO using System Update but this one remains.
Tho we can't figure out how to do this SSD Firmware Update. We don't have a CD drive in this model and when using an USB external disk drive (Samsung) we are unable to boot to the CD.
The question now is can someone provide us with a very clear step by step manual in how to create such a CD the documentation with the update FWSS31 is very poor to say the least. What do we need to create such a CD and how do we need to do it.
Thanks for the support

We are using a Lenovo preload of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. We currently have 5 Lenovo X230 2324CTO laptops and all of these laptops have the same problems.
One of these problems is that when coming into the office and they put there laptop into the Lenovo dockingstations and power up the laptop that when logged in the OS no program is able to load. There sometimes is a delay in this problem that for example they are able to open Outlook or a website but then no program is able to load. As I described earlier the animation for opening a program will occur on the bar but it will quickly just fade away. Also shutting the laptop off is not possible. It is possible to open the charm bar in Windows 8 and go to the shutdown option but on clicking the computer does nothing.
Another problem is that the user is stuck on the login screen of Windows 8 simply saying Welcome with a loading circle which never stops.
Only a forced shutdown (holding the power button for aprox 10 seconds) and restarting the laptop will make the laptop work again when either of these problems occur. These problems occur on random days. As I'm in the IT Team I know when a problem occurs and it can vary to a few days, every day or a few weeks even before it starts to show up again.
I also checked the users and there behaviour in using the laptop but I cannot find any strange behaviour at all. As i also stated before we are running on every update that Lenovo System Update 5 can trow at us. I also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology the newest version in hopes of fixing some of the problems.
Thanks for the support.

T60 does not boot with Intel T7600G CPU

I replaced my Intel Core Duo T2400 with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU in ThinkPad T60(1951-CTO) laptop. However, laptop does not boot with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU. It doesn't even complete the POST: https://db.tt/8UL8FlE0 As seen in the video, I plugged in the power adapter at 0:02 and pressed the power button at 0:06. One can hear a little click made by optical device. If I press the power button again at 0:16, this click does not happen. BIOS version is 2.27. I have reset the BIOS settings by disconnecting the CMOS battery, but this didn't help. Once I replace the T7600G with my old T2400 then I'm able to boot the laptop.
Any ideas what might cause such behavior? Shouldn't there be beep codes in case of CPU issues? What else to try?

Since you came from a T2400, does your T60 even have a Rev. 3 motherboard? If it does not, then no Core 2 Duo will work, only Core Duo's.
I don't claim to be the top authority on T60 motherboards, but I believe any will use a Core 2 T7600, 7400, 7200 if the firmware is updated.
My own experience mirrors what TuuS has stated. I have yet to see a T60/p from any walk of life with a recent BIOS that will bark at a proper Core 2 Duo CPU.

Fire fox shows a window which indicates that the yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Then runs using 99% processor

a window pops up when i open Firefox which indicates that the Yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Seems to lock up when going to Comcast.net. Uses 99% processor and won't close.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?
