Is there a way to do a firmware update without being plugged into a power source?

I have a Macbook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and the indicator light on the Magsafe power cord is not lighting up. I know the cord works because I have tried it on a different computer but it is only this macbook that it doesn't work on. I have reset the SMC. I do need to do a firmware update but when I try to do the update it the firmware it will not let me update because the computer doesn't know that its connected to a power source. When I look at the battery life indicator on the right hand corner it says that its calculating but never changes.
I was using the computer running on battery life and it turned off. I was able to turn the computer on. The computer powers on and off but i'm assuming its going to run the battery power. I don't have another battery to try on this computer. Are there any suggestions?
Firmware update 1.4 is what i'm trying to install

    Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

    Then you posted in the wrong forum...
    At any rate, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool (under Tools - Content Editing) to make changes to the file. You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want to change if you want more detailed instructions.

  • Is there a way to reverse a firmware update?

    Hi,
    I did the firmware update
    MacBook Pro EFI Update 2.1 This update includes fixes that resolve an issue with Turbo Mode in Boot Camp, and improve performance and stability for graphics and Thunderbolt.
    It had broken my thunderbolt HDMI output, Apple say they can do nothing until a fix eventually come out and another firmware update.
    Is there any way i can reset my firmware to factory settings or install a older version to un-do the problems this update has caused?
    thanks

    strange thing just happened, My HDMI thunderbolt cable dose not work with my samsung since the firmware update but it still works on other macs so it could not be the cable...
    WELL just borrowed a friends cable and it now works perfectly, very strange and i can not explain it but try a new mini display to HDMI cable and it might just work for you too. :-)

  • TS1347 My college cancelled my outlook/exchange email account because I graduated. Turns out all my contacts were saved to outlook and I didn't know, is there a way I can get them back without being able to restore the email account?

    Because I graduated, IT support at my college deactivated my email account with outlook/exchange. I wasn't aware, but all my contacts were saved to that account and now they are gone. I have tried to contact my college to see if they can restore it and they haven't responded so I am wondering if there is a way to get them back without having the exchange email account restored. I have looked on iCloud and there are nowhere near as many contacts as I should have saved there. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

    If you do not have the contacts accessible on a computer, iOS device or service like iCloud then they are gone unless you can get them from your school's IT department.

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

  • Is there a way to change the Windows Update service startup type on Windows Server 2012 R2?

    We have a number of newly built 2012 R2 servers that we have HP Operations Manager agent running on that monitors the status of several services and reports if they are "stopped". One of these services is Windows Update. Every day we
    get at least one alert saying:
    "Service "Windows Update" is not started. Current state is stopped"
    Checking the event logs shows that the Windows Update service stops, then a while later it just starts again. Not an error, just an information event.
    In Windows 2012 R2 the Windows Update service is set to "Automatic (Trigger Start)", where in previous versions we run (2012/2008R2) it would be set to just "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)"
    I have come to understand that this behaviour is normal for Windows 2012 R2, and that Trigger Start services by design stop themselves after a period of inactivity. I was unable to find any info on how this works. Our client would like this to
    be changed and the Windows Update service stay running all the time, understanding that this impacts performance.
    Is there a way to change the Windows Update service in Server 2012 R2 to the old Automatic startup behaviour so that it stays running all the time instead of stopping and starting periodicall? There is no option to do this via the services mmc
    gui.
    So far I have tried:
    Removing the Triggers using the command: sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
    This works temporarily, the service then shows as just Automatic in the services console, however if you restart the server or restart the service it goes right back to being Automatic (Trigger Start).
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.

    This one might help.

  • Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

    does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

    Several ways to get similar results.  Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout.  This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact.  A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour.  You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color.  There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
    A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
    Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

  • Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

    Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
    - 3D Toolkit launches
    - click in 'Scene Tree' panel

    - select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
    - select 'File->Save'
    - select 'File->Exit'

  • Is there any way to create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path in NW PO 7.31

    Hi ,
    Does anyone know how to create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path??
    We are in a phase of migrating Interfaces from PI 7.1 to PO 7.31(Java Only).
    For one of the Interface in PI 7.1 there is a RFC Destination for vendor communication through HTTPS connectivity  :
    TargetHost: IP Address
    Post: value
    Path Prefix: Blank
    During migration  requirment is to keep the Path field BLANK of the Communication Channel,however since  PO has mandatory path field   a "/" is been provided, because of which data post fails.
    PI:  https://IP:9443
    PO:  https://IP:9443/  (Since Path Prefix is mandatory)
    As per my understanding The data is supposted to be posted directly to the IP (https://IP:9443) however it is getting posted to (https://IP:9443/) where the service is not available. For Reference attached relevant screenshots.
    Is there any way to  create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path. Need ardent support and suggestions
    regarding this.

    Hi,
    For Service auto- PO from PR, you need to activate Automatic Purchase order creation for Service requisitions in ML91 t.code.
    Note:
    For material :automatic PO creation from PR, follow the steps.
    1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
    2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
    3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.(ME01)
    4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.(ME11)
    5) Create a Purchase Requisition.(ME51)
    6) Use T.Code: ME59 & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
    During creation of PR , select check box of Source Determination in the 1st screen of ME51
    Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
    If you have more than one vendor then fixes only one vendor in source list.

  • My computer somehow restarted then deleted all my progress from Word documents. Is there any way to get these documents back without purchase of a data recovery software?

    Recently when I open my Mac the screen stays black until I press the start button a few times. Usually at this point it's in sleep mode. This time, however, the computer restarted completely, losing any word documents that I had left open prior. Is there any way I can recover these files without a purchase of a data recovery software? I've tried looking in the 'recent' tab, but it didn't save anything I have done in the last week, and finals are this coming week. Please help!

    If the system just Restarted on it's own, Shut down while you were working on something then started back up all those changes, edits, you had done in that app, document, are gone.

  • Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

    is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

    Hi Kiana,
    As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

  • My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

    Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...
