Live update going on 2 weeks ....

and it still does not connect to server....
no matter what version I have tried (new- and ver. that cam with board).
I simply cannot believe it takes this long for a so called 1st tier mobo company to "get the server links working again." after a website update.....
I am going to give them a few more days then report this to the BBB and our Attorney's Generals office as false advertisment.  I didn't buy this board to manually do anything!! I bought it to fuction as advertised!!! WITH ADVERTISED FEATURES

so last comment be patient  
since there was n warning of the live update problem and some members had reinstalled there windows XP etc mmmmmmm
Error Live Update Vs 3.53 vbscript loading database file error HELP NEEDED
the error I am getting when running Live Update 3.53 is the below
vbscript loading database file error please connect to internet first
I have just done a fresh (clean) install of Windows XP Pro,with SR-1 and all current updates
I then Installed Live Update and now still getting the error
the comment below is from DANNY (thanks)
The mess created when the MSI web team updated the server still has a lot of broken links. The servers are running all that well either. The links on the motherboard pages seem OK, so you might try the hard way.

    I wanted to have the SSDs in RAID0 with Win7 and the games on it, then a volume on the 2TB that the RAID backs up to, with the remaining 1.5TB just free storage space in another volume.  I couldn't get raid past Win7's Where Do You Want To Install screen during installation, so I ended up installing the OS on just one SSD.  I figured I'd backup the functioning OS to the 2TB then rebuild the RAID array and copy the OS back onto it.
    The system had been up an running for a full day, being updated left and right nonstop, several big games put in, etc etc, everything was running fine until I decided to run MSI Live Update and started pumping in updates.  Constant errors as I went along, but generally it'd just skip to the next installation attempt.  When it got down to updating the BIOS and did it's DOS injection thing, it for forcefully shut down the PC, restarted, did Post, flashed the BIOS wallpaper, restarted again, Posted, no BIOS wallpaper, just endless "Missing Operating System".  Walked away, went to bed, back up and at it for a few minutes (Will be back tonight for however long it takes to get it fixed).  I switched the BIOS switch over, no dice.  Feels like it's a BIOS "OS" that's gone, and that a BIOS reset/flash is in order or something, but I've never done these things.
    Thanks in advance for any rendered assistance that leads to resolution.

    The SSDs are definitely hooked up where they're supposed to go; the motherboard had a little sticker n' everything for where the two SSD dedicated SATA 6.0gbps ports were :P  AND my case has 2 specific slots for SSDs which don't use the hotswap electronics PCB passthrough like the other 4 bays, which is where the 2T is installed.  I was going to take the 2TB out and hook it up normally and see if that changed the speeds, but I'm leaning towards wishful thinking.  Did I mention I went and made several volumes with different file cluster sizes to test and see if that was the issue?  Alas, all were borked.  It still confuses me though because every once n' awhile it'd do massive burst speeds the way it's supposed to.
    As far as I can recall I'm using up to date BIOS, the last one or two.  One BIOS switch is set for the last BIOS, the other switch is a step back devoid of the Windows 8 stuff.  I believe I have all the drivers up to date as well.  Intel 335's are literally brand new, mine hadn't been more than 3 weeks old off the production line when I received them; IE, they should pretty much have the latest firmware on them which spares me the risk of destroying something precious 
    I MIGHT have a SATA external enclosure around here somewhere, if so, the 2TB could go in that for additional testing until I figure out where it's sustaining speeds of 2-10MB vs 100-150MB/second.
    Meanwhile, the good news is that the system has been fully operational and hella stable.  I hadn't slept in almost 3 days, playing and installing stuff nonstop.  The system continues to run cooler (32c@stock CPU speed) as the thermal paste sets in, the knocking sound of the fan in the PSU has gone away upon me reawakening a bit ago, and amazingly, this massive system (with EIGHT fans) draws only 60-65 watts while desktopping.  That's just astounding 

  • Live Updating mangles smart playlist sync - again and forever?

    For the last several itunes updates, setting a smart playlist to Live Update causes the order of playlist items to become mangled on synced deviceL
    Unchecking the Live Updating restores the proper order to the items on the synced device.
    Its a huge pain if you desire to set up podcast play order on your iphone so you don't have to play DJ in your car.
    It was a problem a long time ago, and there was a kludgy workaround. Then they fixed it. And 2 versions of iTunes later it came back, and the workaround didn't work that time. It now appears to be a permanent bug, and apparently nobody cares at Apple.
    Here's a wonderful example of how longstanding this bug is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11396625#11396625
    This one is even more pathetic, going back to 2009:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10168181#10168181
    There are many, many, other threads complaining about this issue so I've lost faith that Apple will care or try to fix it.
    There has always been the occasional bug or error with Apple hardware/software; nobody's perfect - but they used to make an effort to fix things in a timely manner. At least they used to think the perception of attention to detail was important for marketing purposes.
    Now, they are apparently content to Pareto Principle their products becuase they have the mass sales and a giant customer base that will accept 'just good enough' products.
    So sad to see the decline of such a once great company.

    FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
    Cheers,

  • MSI Live Update Installation Causes Windows XP To CRASH!!

    I have a MSI K9VGM-V (MS-7253). Product specs are here: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9VGM-V
    I have attempted to obtain my updates for my drivers and utilities. MSI uses the Live Update to detect and suggest these for your system. However, I cannot get the software to install to my PC. I have tried to do in through the website AND by downloading it and running it off the hard drive. Each time it gets into the install process and during it - (Boom) - My PC Reboots. When Windows XP (Home Edition) boots up, it says "Windows has just recovered from a serious error." It goes through the reporting to Microsoft process and takes you to their website where it says "You have received a blue screen error. Unfortunatly we were unable to detect what caused this." Then goes on to suggest to restore your files or restore to an earlier state if your system has become unstable (blah blah). Now I really didn't ACTAULLY see a blue screen, the PC just rebooted. I am aware of the blue screen of death and all that. I understand the concept. But I don't know what could be wrong. My system is very basic with little upgrading from me. I have installed all the Windows Critical Updates, so I am now running Windows Service Pack 3. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I tell you that.
    NOTE: And the following might not have anything to do with my problem but I noticed on MSI's web site, located at this URL: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=260
    they say give a warning about MSI Live Update when installing it to my PC/Board. Look under the MSI Live Update Utility at the "Notes." It says:
    "For K9VGM-V (MS-7253) mainboard, please do not select the DMI optopn.
    Now I don't know what DMI means except maybe "Definition Multimedia Interface." And I don't get the chance to select any option during the process. If I do, the process hasn't made it that far before my PC crashes, and re-boots. Please, anybody got anything on this? Thank you.

    Thank you so much. I just want to say I really appreciate when people do take the time to post me in return. So I really mean it, Thank You.
    A quick question. You see, I have been upgrading my computer. I installed a Belkin USB USB Card (high speed 2.0) cause I needed more USB ports. Then I checked for compatable RAM and upgraded my RAM from 512MB to 2Gigs. Everything alright.
    Now, I have checked for processors that are compatable with my board K9VGM-V (MS-7253). And MSI's chart says mine is compatable with the AMD Athlon 2x 6000 (3.0Ghz) *IF* I use the 89 watt and not the 125 watt. Here is a good URL for the processor details I found:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%206000+%20-%20ADA6000IAA6CZ%20(ADA6000CZBOX).html
    Now do you have any tips and I will probably have to flash to BIOS for sure after this upgrade won't I?

  • Smart playlists no longer live update

    I wrote in about this once before but got no solution. I use a smart playlist on my ipod touch to give me only podcasts with less than 1 play, so that I only get the new ones. When I got the ipod for Christmas, and until about late January it was working fine. All of the sudden it stopped live updating, and now only does it when I sync. This really ***** because I listen to about 25 podcasts a week, so it can be very confusing as to which I've heard and which I haven't. Is there any solution for this? I've tried using podcast = true and genre = podcast, but neither will smart update. As I said it worked fine previously, so it's not that podcast = true is completely broken, as I've heard it said elsewhere.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Sorry about that, I must have misunderstood.
    This is the situation in detail.
    When it worked:
    A podcast would download. It would instantly appear in my smart playlist labeled "podcasts".
    The playlist has the rules "podcast = true" and "playcount = less than 1".
    I would sync my ipod.
    I unplug the ipod.
    When I listened to a podcast on my ipod completely (until the very end), the podcast would be removed from the smart playlist immediately, even though my ipod wasn't plugged in.
    Now:
    A podcast downloads. It appears instantly in my smart playlist.
    I sync my ipod, and it appears in the smart playlist there too.
    I unplug the ipod.
    I listen to a podcast (every second of it) through the playlist. When the podcast is over, that podcast remains in my playlist, despite having a playcount greater than 1.
    When I listen to podcasts on my computer directly via the smart playlist, it IS live updated. That is to say that when the podcast ends it is immediately removed from the playlist. That's what I want to happen on the ipod when it isn't connected to my computer, just like it used to.

  • MSI Live Update will no longer work after recent update

    Recently, MSI Live Update upgraded itself and now errors when a scan is attempted.  I can start the application, and the scan appears to occur but does not complete.  The error is pretty generic: 
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\Live Update 6\Live Update.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    First thing I did was uninstall the tool, delete the directory, reboot and download and install Live Update 6.x from the MSI  site.  No change.  I figured there was possibly a problem with (one of the) C++ Runtime libraries and checked the system requirements on the MSI website, but all it says its needs is the .NET runtime library.  I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled it but still received the same error.  Going with the error, I removed all of the C++ libraries (8, 10, and 12 I think), rebooted, and reinstalled them the checked MS for updates.   Sadly, this also didn't resolve it.
    Error in the application log didn't help:
    Faulting application name: Live Update.exe, version: 6.0.12.0, time stamp: 0x54768b62

    Searching the forum didn't yield much.  Suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestions - still in the same boat.

    what OS you are running? Windows 8.1 x64
    what MSI hardware you have?
    Board: Z87-G43 GAMING
    Bios: American Megatrends v1.9 (7/21/2014)
    Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3.40GHz (not overclocked)
    OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    @jb0nez
    I fixed it though--went to Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, found Microsoft .net 4.5.1, hit Change/Uninstall, then clicked Repair. Rebooted after and it was fine.
    Windows 8.x has .NET 4.x preinstalled as a part of the OS.
    I used DISM.exe which identified a component store corruption (and repaired it).  Live Update still errors.
    Attempts to install from a .NET runtime returns an error of "A higher version is already installed".
    Version of .NET installed: 4.5.51641
    I did disable, reboot, and re-enable .NET as a feature but doing so does not revert it back to stock .NET.
    I also checked Windows Update after re-enabling it and there were no updates - so its not flushing the binaries if its disabled.
    At least I have a direction to start troubleshooting (.NET) - thanks for the tip!
    @jb0nez
    are you also use the same version? Live Update 6.0.012
    @TZBC
    Restore points are out - I let this slide too long.  If I go that route, I'll be fixing one app to break 10 others.
    If I'm going to reinstall the OS, I'll wait until Windows 10 (I'll do a complete wipe at that time).  Live Update  is a 'nice to have', but its not worth my  time to wipe the OS and rebuild the system.

  • Live Updating smart playlists not updating properly

    I have been using some live-updating playlists since I first got my iPod. They had been working fine until just last month. I have a Smart Playlist set to be Live Updating, that follows the rule of playcount is 0. It used to work properly; after playing any song on that list, leaving to the menu screen, and going back to the playlist, the song will disappear from the list.
    For whatever reason, this playlist will now only update when I sync my iPod with iTunes. It used to update on the fly in the iPod itself, but no longer.
    I have not downloaded the updates for iTunes or the iPod, so I don't see what could have caused this change.
    And just now, I synced the iPod with iTunes and while the "Yet to be Played" playlist in iTunes shows only four songs, when I go to that same list on the actual iPod, I get 15 songs. I just don't get that at all.

    Annoyed,
    You might find our little Discussion of this whole Smart Playlist issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1514307#1514307

  • Live Update, Is it me...?

    Hello, the newbie using MSI boards back again. I am wondering if there is something up with the Live Update Site or it something on my end. I have gone to the Live Update site at least 30 times within the last several days and can't seem to get anything downloaded.
    The downloads get one-quarter to halfway done and just stop as if thier server is busy or...? I am mainly concerned with the BIOS update for my board.
    I have one small issue I need to finger out. I was going to throw this thing back were I got it from. Even after solving my hard drive woes.
    I originally had my Audigy card in the 2nd PCI slot below the AGP card. The Audigy would work half the time and the computer would just freeze or just sit in la, la land. I'd have to kill the power and reboot.
    Anyway, I cannot use my USB scanner on any of the USB ports. It is Win XP compat and I have cert. drivers. It worked great on the ASUS.
    I changed the Audigy to the bottom PCI slot. So far she don't lock or go to la, la land and the sound works all the time so far.
    Anything, I don't know that someone could shed some light on? I have had two good days so far and the board seems pretty stable with the exception of the USB scanner.

    I am having the same problem.  I can't get anything downloaded with Live Update.  The download freezes all the time.
    I have noticed that you are using Win XP.  Does your board come with USB2 ?  If so, go check to see if the usb driver is installed or not? If not, install it.  It is included in WinXP service pack.  WinXp and it's service pack installations won't install it for you automatically, u have to go to Device Manager to install it yourself.  Once you are in Device Manager, you'll probably see an exclamation mark next to some device( it's probably your usb controller), right click on it and then choose Update driver or Install driver (don't remember), then choose "Install the software automatically".  It will take 1 - 2 minutes for the process to search and install the usb drivers for u.  The usb driver installation instruction for WinXP is available in Microsoft's knowledge base in its homepage. Go search for ""usb  winxp""

  • How to turn on / off live updating for all smart playlists at once?

    Hello.  Is there a way to turn live updating on or off for all my smart playlists at once?  That would be a fantastic feature since too many smart playlists with live updating turned on brings iTunes to a crawl. 
    Currently, I run iTunes on Windows 7.  I have over 40,000 songs, and I have hundreds of smart playlists to help organize all my songs and what's on my various iPods at any time.  The problem with having so many smart playlists is that iTunes runs very slow.  One thing that I do to make iTunes run slightly faster is to turn off live updating for as many smart playlists as I can stand (by going into each one and editing), but then it's hard to tell which have live updating turned on and which don't.  As a result, many of my smart playlists don't get updated when I would like them to because I have to go in and manually edit each one again to turn it back on.  Maybe showing which have live updating turned on or off would be useful, too? 
    On a related note, my iPod Classic will actually not work when I sync too many smart playlists.  This has been a long-standing problem with iPods, and I'm surprised that it hasn't been fixed yet.  I have not experimented to see if it makes any difference if the smart playlists have live updating turned on or off. 
    Thanks.

    this is exactly what i was hoping to see -- but i can't get it to run right on iTunes 12, yosemite
    it also doesn't seem to recognize "Home Videos" or "Audiobooks" as special and tries to turn them off -- i modified the earlier script to add those two to the lists of exclusions, but still get the same error message on the first "unspecial/real" smart playlist -- hasn't somethign changed in the object model perhaps?
    thank you muchly!

  • Smart playlists not live updating on ipod touch (2nd gen)

    Scenario:
    I have a smartplaylist with live updating ticked in itunes. this playlists looks for tracks with a star rating between 4 and 5 stars and places them in the playlist. in itunes when i listen to new music with no rating and i give it a rating that meets this rule it works and places that said track in the playlist.
    I then sync my ipod and the updated playlist with the new tracks that i have just rated goes on there. all good so far.
    But when i rate a track on my ipod when i am away from my computer and i give it 4 or 5 stars it does not "live update" and place it on the said playlist. I have to wait untill i get home and synce with my itunes library for the newly rated tracks to go on my desired playlist.
    isnt that the point of "live updating" playlists?
    I should be able to rate a track and for it to go onto this playlist whilst i am "on the go"
    This way of working always worked on my other ipods. just not with my touch.
    any help or advice? is this a known software bug to do with the touch?
    Thanks for reading, Comments and suggestions welcome.

    Yes, I've had this problem several times. There seem to be certain criteria you can't use in a playlist and expect it to work on you iPod. I don't know if this will solve your problem but here's what I've figured out:
    I have a 5G ipod classic. Any playlists that I've created using the criteria 'podcast is true/false' won't live update on the iPod. I've solved this by changing the criteria to 'genre contains podcast' and that works just fine.
    The playlists that I've created using the 'playlist is' AND selecting one of (oh how to put this) iTunes library playlists that appear at the top of itunes (in my case "Music" and "TV Shows") (the ones with the icons), also do not live update on the ipod. For whatever reason, these default playlists seem to break live updating on the iPod, but not in iTunes. I got around it by using a whole list of genres to include/exclude to create my music playlist (there's probably a better way to do it). For my playlists that contain TV shows, I set all the TV shows I've ripped from my DVD's to have a genre of 'music and television' and use that to create a playlist. That also works.
    You stated that you use the rating criteria to create your playlist, but might you also be using the default lists at the top too? of course, i'm not using an ipod touch so maybe this isn't helpful. I hope it is, because i know how crazy this was making me... good luck...

  • Live updating smart playlists not actually updating

    Apparently, this was a common complaint back in 2007. Well, I am still having this problem.
    iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
    I have a static playlist filled with music called "MUSIC". I have a smart playlist "DYNAMIC" that references "MUSIC", which filters only songs rated 3-5, and not played in the past week. These playlists are just used as a source.
    I then have a smart playlist for each genre (e.g. "RAP", "ROCK"), which reference "DYNAMIC", and simply filter the appropriate genre.
    All of these smart playlists have "live updating" enabled. They all work as expected in iTunes. They all work as expected on an 5.5G iPod.
    However, on the iPhone, when I completely play a song in "RAP", the song is not immediately removed. I expected this, since this is the same behavior on my 5.5G iPod. However, on the iPod, I would simply exit the playlist, then re-enter, and the playlist would be regenerated, removing the played song. This does not work on the iPhone. No matter what I do, the played song is still shown, despite the fact that the DYNAMIC smart playlist should remove the song.
    I also tested by playing the song directly from DYNAMIC, and it still does not update. I created a new, basic smart playlist which does nothing but reference the static playlist "MUSIC" and filter out songs played in the past day. It still does not update.
    I will note that none of my smart playlists reference a playlist that is not synced on the iPhone. I know that a smart playlist referencing a non-synced playlist can turn the smart playlists static. I doubled checked that this is not the case here.
    I will also note that I verified the songs are being marked as played via iTunes.
    Hjalp!

    Annoyed,
    You might find our little Discussion of this whole Smart Playlist issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1514307#1514307
    interesting.
    In particular, Smart Playlists containing Podcasts have yet to have their functionality restored as I have been discussing with Level 2 Support:

  • Ipad Calender strange behaviour - It goes back one week

    I have an iPad (Not iPad 2).  I have updated the software and am using iCloud (I used to use Mobile Me).
    I have my cal set to Monday as the start of the week day.  I use week view
    My problem is ONLY with All day events on a Monday.
    If I try and edit one of those entries the calender goes back one week and then goes back to the correct week and comes up with the edit box.
    What is wrong.  This never happens on my iPhone 4 also synced via iClous but there is no week view.
    Have I got a setting wrong ?  If so where is it.
    Does this happen on yoiur iPad and is it only on a Monday for you or is it on what ever day is your start of the week ?
    How can I fix this ?  It's really bugging me . I have spent hours looking for a solution.

    Just to add ...
    I have changed my international settings to the US (They were on the UK as thats where i am) and the problem is now with all day events on a Sunday and fine for the monday.
    It seems to be a bug on first day of the week all day events or something I am doing wrong

  • After 3 years, tried live updating of smart playlist again. Still broken.

    I mean that lists like "Music I haven't listend to recently" do not remove songs on the fly when I listen songs. Last time some special rules were a problem, like "album rating", or "skipped" or "is/not podcast". It worked if I avoided those rules. I did not research the details this time. Although all my rules are really old, so they should have been fixed by now. (Old, but a complex set of ten smart playlists, all live updating and the "main" list built from the others.)
    Here is my speculation from 2009:
    Generally any RECENT iTunes smart playlist RULE TYPES that Apple has introduced in iTunes, but failed to update to iOS Music Player seem to be the problem. The iOS device can not understand a new iTunes rule unless somebody hard codes it to a new iOS version which is then updated to your iPod. And the live update is disabled, if iOS does not recognize a rule that iTunes has.
    Why, oh, why don't they just define a  scripting language to implement the smart lists, with primitives that can read any meta-data fields on a media file, and compare strings, numbers and dates? Then a new rule type would just mean a different script synced to iPhone, not re-programming the Music Player?
    Or what gives, tell me?

    FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
    Cheers,

  • Turn off live update of cross references

    I'm using Indesign CS6 and javascript.
    Is there a way to temporary turn off the 'live update' feature of cross references between separate indesign files?
    We find this feature to be a real pain if more than one person is trying to work with the files as it slows everything dramatically.
    I've searched through the DOM and Adobe InDesign CS6 (8.0) Object Model JS: Table of Contents but I guess I don't know the right terminology to look for.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks,

    Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
    If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
    You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
    For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)
