Missing Inbox content following firmware update - ...

Yesterday I updated the firmware on my N95 from V12.... to V20.0.015. Before doing so I copied the content of my phone to my PC and checked by viewing all my messages (Inbox, Sent etc) via Nokia Phone Brower.
With firmware update completed I went back to my Inbox (on the phone) and am now only able to view what appears to be earlier SIM messages.
I've checked that the memory in use is "Phone memory". When I connect my phone to my PC I am able to view all the messages which existed in my Inbox prior to the firmware update. Is there some reason why I can view the messages via Nokia Phone Browser but not via the Inbox on my phone?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

after a fw update all data is removed....ie the phone is wiped...there is no way of getting it back unless you did a backup before updating.....you will then have to do a restore from your backup

  • Wired popping / jitter following firmware update

    My ipod touch that I have had for a month and working fine has developed a wired popping during digital audio following updating the firmware last week.
    Strangly this is only affected by the digital output. I have two docks connected to my hifi one is analogue and works absolutly fine however three weeks ago I upgraded to an Onkyo digital dock transport so that I can connect to and external DAC (Cambridge Audio DACMagic) which sounds awsome. Following the firmware update no so awsome so initially thought that it must be an issue with the dock as would be unlikely to be an Apple software issue. So got the dock exchanged yesterday to eliminate this as a potential suspect. However the issue still exists.
    I cannot believe that I am the only one that has discovered this as I cannot see any similar posts but then again maybe not so many are using the digital output.
    I also use the ipod in the car as my new car has a USB socket that connects and controls the ipod via the car's hifi. This also sounds awfull following the update.
    My natural reaction was to restore the old firmware but understand this is not possible although I have found what looks like it in the recycle bin. However I have performed a hard reset and a full restore.
    Any help would be fantastic as this ipod now sounds little better than an old cassette walkman with an anoying random popping in the background. If it is of any consequence the popping occurs not only with stored tracks but also with Last FM.
    Thanks

    According to what i see on Appletoolbox.com looks like we are not going to see a new update 4.2 until November. Having looked at various sites I am now aware how big this problem is. Hope Apple come up with a solution before then or they will have a mutiny on their hand and growing community of dissatisfied ipod touch owners.
    As mine is so new it may be worth returning as unsuitable for purpose as it is Apple's product and their softare not third party. I will talk with trading standards or maybe a good one for Watchdog after the iphone situation.
    Looks like I will be using my notebook for music.

  • Dead iMac 233 following firmware update

    I inherited a Bondi a few days ago that was in good shape; it appeared hardly used. I intended to clean it up for my three-yeard old as kind of a Christmas present (trust me, she'd love it). Anyhow, it booted fine (OS 8.5) but prompted me to update the firmware. No big deal, since I planned on loading OS 9 on it anyhow.
    So I follow the instructions, watch the progress bar, and restart. Now I've got nothing but a glowing orange power button and the calming sound of the fan humming.
    I've pulled the battery, counted to ten, held down the CUDA . . . you name it, I get the same results. I've been combing forums and any advice that doesn't include the words "door stop" or "boat anchor" would be really appreciated.
    -jp

    Are you sure you don't mean P & R (as in "zapping the P-RAM)? Either way, I'll give it a whirl and let you know. As for holding in the Reset button till I hear a second chime . . . umm, I don't even hear an initial chime.
    When I push the power button on the iMac, it turns orange/amber and I hear the fan kick on. That's it. No chime. No BONG. No hard drive spin.
    Also, when I updated the firmware, I followed the on-screen instrutions and navigated to the Extras folder on the HD. Once there, I found and selected the file that the instructions told me to. I watched the progress bar "complete the update," afterwhich the Mac was supposed to shutdown and restart itself. Well, it shutdown all right, but upon restarting the power button turned orange and that's it. baffling! It seems I killed a perfectly good iMac by updating its firmware.

  • Macbook efi firmware update 1.1 will not install

    When I check for software updates, there is an update that is labeled "Macbook EFI firmware update 1.1", I click on the button to install it, a message is displayed that the update was installed successfuly, I click on the "OK" button, it checks for updates again a message is displayed that "Your software is up to date". When I click on the "Quit" button a Windows opens displaying a message about the firmware update and I have to click on the "Shut down" button. The system shuts down, when I turn it back on and check for software updates again the "Macbook EFI firmware update 1.1" is listed again, I have been through this 3 times, it says it installs but when I check again it still shows up as an update that needs to be installed and the firmware version has not changed as is should if the update did in fact install, what am I missing???

    Firmware update 1.1 is a very old update for 10.4 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL207 I have no idea why it would be showing up on your MacBook.

  • Do I need to enable MySite or have a MySite created in order to follow content and get updates from Team Site library/Newsfeed?

    Hello, we are migrating to SharePoint 2013. In the current SharePoint 2007 implementation we have disabled MySite for several reasons. Question: Do we need to enable MySite or have a MySite created in order to follow content and get updates from Team
    Site library/Newsfeed?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know if the MySite is needed for following content and getting updates of the followed content.
    When users follow documents, sites, or tags, status updates from documents, conversations on sites, and notifications of tag use show up in users’ newsfeed, so users need to their MySite to view the updates in Newsfeed by OOB and you need
    to migrate the MySite to SharePoint 2013.
    However, we can also use APIs to programmatically follow content, please refer to the link below:

  • /Applications/Utilities/MacBook EFI Firmware Update... Missing?!

    Hey folks, I've done a search of the forums but to no avail. A Google search has turned up precisely nothing like what I'm experiencing here. I have no idea if it's normal or if my wee 'Book's playing up.
    Basically, in checking my RSS feeds, I was informed of the release of a new firmware update for C2D MacBooks, available via Software Update. I ran Software Update and... nothing. I decided I'd check in Apps/Utilities and use the EFI Updater to manually update my computer's firmware, but the utility seems to be missing altogether. Anyone else experienced this, or have any idea what's going on? It used to be there, and I can't really think of anything that might have made if go 'poof!'
    I realise this isn't exactly a major issue, but I can't say I'm at ease with the disappearance of bits and bobs from my Mac.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Gray.

    Well if it's any consolation Leopard seems to have thrown over the generic EFI Updater that used to fly standby on my MacBook, but apparently left a new one or left the newer one that may well have been abandoned on my iMac after that rather disconcerting task was deemed necessary a few months prior.
    Seems that the updater app comes with the new image whenever and however the time to update becomes a pressing concern so maybe space saving has something to do with the policy.
    There does seem to be a colorful spectrum of issues surrounding the ins and outs of EFI firmware notifications and techniques from platform version to another but

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    seems to nail down which chicken goes in which pot. Nonetheless I picked up a bum steer at Apple Support Downloads yesterday over that shiny new "iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.3" delightfulness recently trotted out as better than sliced bread for something they refer to as an iMac!
    So joyful I was at the thrill of being ahead of the line I I dropped everything, downloaded and installed it, but only to be politely informed that my unit was lacking any of the discomforts it was intended to relieve. It's nice to get something for nothing but I kind of wish I could say the same :P

  • A new firmware update this morning and now all my backups are missing?  How to re-connect?, A new firmware update this morning and now all my backups are missing?  How to re-connect?

    This morning I noticed my time capsule was blinking amber.  I opened utility and I found that all of the airport devices needed a firmware update.
    I ran that with no problems.  I then found tonight that my time capsule had "delayed" backup and said it couldn't find the disk.  I re-pointed it to the TC and it says I have no backups and wants to start from scratch.  This is a concern and a bit annoying.
    Any way to find my previous backups and reconnect it?
    Thanks.

    Looking in the time capsule preferences, it looks like the name of the disk has slightly changed to add a "3" at the end.  Not sure how to change it back.
    When I use airport utility and look at the disk, it says something like half the disk has been used, so obviously my backups are still there.  Just not sure how to re-connect so backups aren't lost or duplicated.

  • Restore fails with "Firmware update failure. Disk write Error" message

    I am going totally bonkers with this one. My Shuffle stopped working suddenly.
    My iTunes was not able to read the contents of the iPOD and there seems to be a corrupt filesystem. After reviewing various posts, I have tried the following with little success:
    1. Tried Restore using the Updater tool that came with the Shuffle (2005-09-23). I kept getting the "Firmware update failure. Disk write Error"
    2. Downloaded the new updater tool (2006-03-23) and tried restore again. I got the same error message again.
    3. Tried formatting using Windows format, it is not able to complete the format
    4. Tried chkdsk. Get an error message saying "CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
    5. Tried connecting it to a different computer and tried pretty much the same steps. Similar results.
    I am using USB 2.0 both on my current Thinkpad as well as the other computer I tried with.
    I am totally clueless and am not sure how to go about fixing this one. Though there have been lots of posts about this, I haven't been able to find a solution that works for me. Any thing else that I may have missed out which I can try?
    Thanks,

    hiya!
    just checking. have you worked through the possibilities from this document yet?
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
    given that you're connecting to a laptop, we'd better check on this possibility too:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    ... and even though you aren't using a Toshiba, this technique might be worth a try (if all else fails):

  • Attempted Iphone 4 update to latest firmware update "failed"

    Ive attempted to update the Iphone to the latest firmware update  and it has failed 3 times, the final time it looked as though
    it worked but stopped and went into new mode to go-back to Restore to old  setting. Now it is locked up and asking me for the  admin backup password
    and everything I've tried is not working..  Not sure what to do at this point.
    The laptop I'm using is a Panasonic CF29 and running Windows XP with SP3 installed.
    I'm  open to any ideas at this point.
                Thanks Artman

    Then it's pretty hopeless. Normally the error message remains displayed until you click "OK", so it's surprising that you didn't see it. You can try the shotgun approach; just try a bunch of stuff in the hopes that it will work. But first I suggest trying to update it again, and this time watch it. The following list covers the most common causes of update failures:
    Open a Command window and type the command "netsh   winsock   reset"
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall
    Launch iTunes
    Connect the phone using a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
    When the phone is recognized in iTunes click on it, then click Restore
    If the phone is NOT recognized in iTunes, disconnect it, the hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons for exactly 10 seconds until the screen goes black, then release SLEEP but continue holding HOME while you connect the cable and continue holding HOME until iTunes recognizes a phone in recovery mode
    If the update completes you are in business
    You mentioned being prompted for a backup password. If your backup is encrypted you will need to know the password to complete the restore; if you don't know it you will have to restore as New and manually add your content back. If it is encrypted you really did enter a password for it once, whether you remember doing so or not.

    Try to turn on device while network cable is disconnected (standalone) and let it completely boot till READY status.
    Connect the network cable & note the front panel status (display & LED's both).  Also note if the LAN port LED's are ON.
    Hope that there is no data being processed by printer (data LED on control panel).  If yes, then you might need to delete any pending jobs (including firmware download initiated from computer - if pending in que as a job)
    If printer shows READY status without any data, then you may try printing printer internal documents using control panel menus.  Next step will be to access printer through web brower (EWS page) and confirm if the device is available for use in network.

    Hi macinfrance!
    I installed the EFI Firmware update successfully on my computer.
    It seems to me that your list of nvram is lacking an entry telling your bootloader (boor.efi) exists on your normal harddrive partition.
    I suggest the following (i am not quite sure if it will work):
    1. Go to the system preferences and select the startdisk fane. Then, be sure to select your system harddrive.
    2. Then restart your computer.
    3. Make a restore CD in case something goes wrong (instructions at: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcd14.html )
    4. Try the firmware update again.
    When i type nvram i get the following contents:

  • Freeze at startup after System and Firmware update - Help!

    I took the automated system upgrade last Sunday including updates on a bunch of Apple applications, OS X 10.4.6 (it was included if I recall correctly) and a SMC Firmware update. After downloading all files and installing them my iMac restarted. After that the SMC Firmware upgrade started and I followed the instructions ending in another restart.
    This is where my problems began. At this startup I got through the grey screen with the Apple logo and got so far as to the blue screen with the Mac symbol saying something like "starting up". The progress bar started moving and froze after reaching about a fifth of its final length.
    As this was a firmware update I didn't want to interrupt anything so I left it for the night (no progress in the morning) and for the next day. Still no progress when I came home from work so I shut it down (pulled the power cord).
    Efter this I've tried to fall back using the Firmware Restoration CD available at Apple's support page, but this doesn't work. My iMac refuses to start the installation of the old Firmware even though I follow the fallback instructions. (After starting the computer and keeping the power on button pressed I wait for the front light below the screen to first flash rapidly for a while and then do a SOS (three short, three long and three short blinks). The SOS however, never happens, instead the computer proceeds directly to the grey startup screen before it freezes when it reaches the blue screen.
    I have no clue to what to do. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

    minxlj,
    It is not my intention to be rude, however, it is my intention to be direct. Do you have a G5 or do you have an Intel Core Duo, or perhaps even both? Because right now your signature says you have a G5, which has PPC chips in it made by IBM, not Core Duo chips made by Intel.
    The reason I ask is because, just as in another Discussion here in the Intel forum, you are responding to information that appears to not apply to the computer you say you have and you are giving information that, if you have a G5, does not apply to the computers of the folks here in the Intel forum.
    Could you please clear that up by correcting your signature so everyone here knows you are comparing oranges with oranges and not mangos with oranges?
    Staffan,
    As far as the SMC Firmware update and the Firmware Restoration CD, the two items are not related. The Firmware Restoration CD is only for the Firmware Update that came out in mid-April. It is intended for someone whose computer messed up in the application of the Firmware Update and is intended to bring their computer back to its Firmware state prior to the botched Firmware Update. It will not assist you if you had problems applying the SMC Firmware Update from early May.
    If I am understanding your description of your Mac's problem it sounds if if you have successfully installed the SMC firmware update, but now have a possible 3rd party satrtupitem that is not allowing your Mac's OS X to fully boot. You can check to see if both the Firmware Update and SMC Firmware Update have been successfully installed by booting your Mac into safe Mode by pressing the "Shift" key during startup. This boot will take longer than normal because it is verifying and repairing your directory. After the desktop appears, go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Contents section, highlight Hardware and Hardware Overview should show; Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03 for the Firmware update and SMC Version: 1.1f5 for the SMC Firmware Update.

  • Xserve Firmware update fails (5.1.7f1)

    Hi I have an Xserve G5 another dept. donated to mine recently that has not been used for sometime. I'm trying to update it to the latest patches etc. however the firmware update refuses to take.
    I followed all the instructions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93980
    and have tried via both the GUI and ssh method. Also after default install (10.4) and after combo updating to 10.4.4 however nothing works and it stubbornly remains on 5.1.7f0.
    the only other things to mention are that I can see in the system log each time (which seeem normal):

    Jan 26 18:19:14 drkw-osxserve2 authexec: executing /Applications/Utilities/Xserve Firmware Updater.app/Contents/Resources/SetUpStartupItems
    Anyone resoloved this issue before?

    I'm having the same problem ... and IIRC, my son turned the xServe G5 off while the machine was rebooting . Since then, Software update constantly flags the firmware update as needed, but it never takes root.
