Monthly system upgrade email

I just received an email asking me to click on a link which is supposed to finish my "monthly system upgrade".   Is this phishing? 

It certainly sounds like phishing.

  • Sony Xperia system upgrade causes BT email issue

    My Sony Xperia mobile phone has just had a system upgrade and now my BT emails are coming up corrupted on it. I contacted my phone provider who tells me BT has changed their popbox codes and I need to go on to my account and enable it for mobile devices. I have had a look with no luck. Any suggestions please.

    I have had this exact experience with my Sony Xperia M2 Aqua phone after downloading new system software about 2 weeks ago. My husband and I have the same type of phones and share the same email account. Fortunately he did not update his phone with the latest Sony software. He still has the previous version on his phone and he has had no problems at all. 
    I have had little joy with Sony other than to ask me to send them screenshots of the problem, to take off and reload my btinternet email account, and to use PC Companion to repair/reload the software. I have done all they ask but to no avail as problem is still the same after doing everything they suggest. They are extremely loathe to accept that the problem stemmed from their software update but are now referring it to a technical department to investigate. Sony say that I can't revert to previous version either as a solution as they can't downgrade a phone again after upgrade had been installed.
    I would welcome any suggestions or advice to fix the problem if anyone can help.

  • [solved] After a full-system upgrade (Linux 3.15.8) = Wifi undetected

    Hi, following this post, I'm seeking help concerning a big problem with my wifi.
    In fact, it has been a few months since my wifi interface isn't recognized anymore. Yesterday, after a few tests, I found it was due to the kernel version, so I tried to reinstall my first ArchLinux (Linux 3.13.5-1-ARCH) : it worked, my wifi was back. The problem was that I couldn't reinstall all my stuffs : so I did a full-system upgrade (knowing I will lose my wifi) and now I just want to fix it once and for all (I'm done dealing with it).
    So now, your help would be very appreciated. Does anyone have an idead? Or need more details about my config, my laptop, or whatever?

  • OS 10.7 system upgrade failed can't redownload it

    I am helping a friend with a MacBook Pro. She has 10.7.4 installed, and I told her how to do the five upgrades suggested by the updater. I was with her when we started the download, and then I left. She contacted me later and said that she had a screen telling her that the upgrades had failed and that she should download them again. However, if one goes to the system upgrade system prefs panel and clicks upgrade, nothing happens. When the button for manually checking updates, nothing happens. When I changed the frequency of checking for upgrades from one week to one day, nothing happens the next day
    When I go to the "About this Mac" menu item and click on the Software Update button, I get a window that tells me that there are 5 upgrades available for the computer, but clicking on the box there to get those upgrades does nothing.
    She wants to get on the cloud with her new iPad mini and this computer, but she can't because she can't upgrade email. She can't upgrade iTunes to 11, as required by her iPad mini (she has a much older version of iTunes because she never used it before) because it requires a new version of 10.7.
    Any ideas about how to get the computer to respond to the request for upgrades.
    I read in other forum responses to upgrade problems that one can go to the manual upgrade page, but I couldn't find what she needed via the links provided.
    If a new system install is required, her current system is an upgrade purchased through the Apple Store. How hard is it going to be to do a clean install via the net?
    Sadly she has never used Time Machine.
    I don't have the specifics of her machine, but it is a 2 1/2 to 3 year old MacBook Pro

    She can download the standalone updaters at support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • [SOLVED] Boot problems after system upgrade

    hi everybody,
    first of all i have to say, that the machine where i installed Arch is pretty old (something around 5 years).
    I already tried installing Arch two times and every time after i performed a system upgrade, i couldn't boot arch.
    Before the upgrade i rebooted several times to ensure that its working with the brand new installation - it worked.
    Here i'm the 3rd try. This time i configured packman to ignore the kernel package and voila its working now with kernel 2.6.25.6-1.
    So, here is my question: Is there any problem that could appear later on if i never upgrade the kernel?
    I'm quite new to linux and really appreciate your support.
    Regards
    Daniel

    Well ... the kernel, like any other piece of program, from time to time has to be patched if they find a bug in it.
    Never upgrading means that you do not get the benefit of security and improvements patches.
    There is also the issue that some programs, a few, may want to have a certain kernel to run but I think that is less common.
    I, for instance, have not upgraded the kernel for a few months now because it screws up my wifi.
    If you can live with that then  you are OK.

  • [SOLVED] GNOME is messed up after full system upgrade

    I ran a full system upgrade today (last one was about 1-2 months ago) and it went smoothly.
    Everything boots normally, and my default GNOME desktop also boots, but all the icons are messed up, as can be seen in this screenshot.
    And worst, the overlay panel (e.g. when pressing the Windows key) is completely b0rked and unusable.
    The GNOME desktop is the default one with no modifications that I know of. I tried searching for existing issues but didn't find any.
    I'm running Intel Graphics on:
    $ lspci | grep VGA
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    Any ideas?

    While typing the post, I bumped into https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … ncorrectly
    After setting and re-setting my monitor resolution, things seem to fall back into place.
    Looks like I'll use the scaling factor hack for a permanent fix.

  • [Solved] system upgrade fails with util-linux/eject conflict

    I backed everything up, then deleted the fontconfig links and updated fontconfig, which worked properly. Then I did "pacman -Syu" and got this:
    [root@myhost ~]# pacman -Syu
    :: Synchronizing package databases...
    core is up to date
    extra is up to date
    community is up to date
    multilib is up to date
    :: Starting full system upgrade...

    warning: dependency cycle detected:
    warning: systemd will be installed before its dbus-core dependency
    looking for inter-conflicts...
    :: util-linux and eject are in conflict. Remove eject? [y/N]
    error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
    error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
    :: util-linux and eject are in conflict
    [root@myhost ~]#
    Looks like two distinct problems. Note that I already have the /lib thing taken care of (turning it into a link), in a previous update. The forum searches I have done about this issue did not yield much.

    Upgrading that infrequently is unlikely to work well in the long term.
    Hell, I thought that was upgrading frequently. One of the reasons I'm on linux is because I don't have to get upgrades every hour as on Windows. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I ran a hell of a lot longer on Puppy linux without upgrades. Also, I backup before every upgrade, and then have to fiddle with pacnew files and all the rest, so the result is burning half a day at least on upgrades. I sure don't want to increase the frequency of that.
    Arch is a rolling release so it changes basically every day. Updating every week or two is perfectly fine, but updating every couple months brigs you at odds with what Arch is about.
    One of the reasons you may not want to use Arch is when you don't want to or can't spend time on the updates.
    PaulBx1 wrote:The choice of defaults should (in my opinion) be decided by the needs of the unsophisticated user (such as myself), of which there are many more than the other type. Sophisticated users can intelligently decide between "y" and "n" because they know what is going on. Unsophisticated users just cross their fingers and hope the defaults work for them.
    Arch is for experienced users and pacman doesn't do e.g. cleaning up - that's left to the user. pacman can surely help with it: 'pacman 'Qdt'.
    It may feel unintuitive, but that's how it is.

  • Verizon upgrade email fiasco, anyone else get this ?

    I received an email on October 15th from the address [email protected] telling me I am eligible for a new phone. I have received email from this address before and it even had a picture of my current phone and the last 4 digits of my phone number in the email. It says in fine print in the email "Available only if customer has not upgraded in last 180 days". I last upgraded over a year ago. I then log into my Verizon and of course it says that I am not eligible for upgrade until Feb 2012. So I call customer service to ask about the email. I am told to forward the email to the representative. After being on hold for 10 minutes she comes back and says that the email is from a 3rd party. I would like to note that when I click the links in the email it takes me right to their official website. I tell her this makes no sense and that I would like to speak with a supervisor.
    After another 25 minutes on hold she comes back and says she spoke with a supervisor( I never end up talking with a supervisor after asking to speak with one personally) and says that they have been having problems with this "fraudulent email" since this past Friday October 14th. I do a quick internet  search to see if anyone else has gotten "fraudulent" 3rd party email from said address and find nothing. She then says they will honor the upgrade.. But there's a catch. In the upgrade email there are four pictures of phones that are "top recommendations" from Verizon. They will only honor the upgrade if I purchase one of these four phones. Oh and I also have to purchase the phone through the representative right at that moment over the phone. I laugh and say you can't be serious as I have no interest in buying one of their crappy suggested phones. What is the point of "honoring" the upgrade if I can only choose from four phones that I have no interest in?  I tell her to make note of this conversation for future reference and take down her name, shift hours and tell her I will be getting back to her later in the week. I really don't know what to do at this point. I don't even care if I get the upgrade or not, I just felt like I was lied to about the whole situation.

    An update. When I called they flat out wouldn't let me upgrade, claiming the email "came from a third party". I have since received an email from Verizon basically saying that the original email I recieved was in error, and that there are no updates available at this time. The thing that **bleep** me off is that the rep flat out lied to me about being from a "third party". I compared the email headers of both the original and followup emails and they came FROM THE SAME PLACE. Same originating address, using the same email processing system/server. This is why Verizon has a problem - they will just say whatever it takes to get you off the phone.. unless of course you're ready to spend big bucks on a new phone... Either that, or they will say nothing when you ask about a problem (ie. Incredible update status), or pass the buck to the manufacturer.

  • IMac G3 350Mhz Memory & System Upgrade Killer

    I was trying to upgrade (RAM and system) my children's iMac. I went from 9.1 to 10.2 (own all software). 256 chip went in first and only with 9.1. Ran fine. Next step was to put original CD (not tray) in iMac and install system upgrade.
    Ran fine during requested restarts. Shut down and came back 4 hours later to run tutorial program (Total Training for Mac OS X). I could hear the 'good' mac startup sound, but the entire screen was dark...as if it were turned off.
    After reading messages, I learned about 'firmware'. Should I have installed something? Doesn't the 10.2 know to install this firmware?
    Need direction on how to get the children's computer running before wife does a 'Lorraina Bobbit'.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    After turning on the machine, wait a few minutes and then push the button on the front. Once this button has changed color, push it again and see if your display functions normally; if so, open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences and set your Mac OS 9 system as the startup disk. Restart your machine, and then perform the instructions in sentence 1 again. From here, download and install the firmware update immediately, and then use Startup Disk 9.21 to reselect the Mac OS X system as the startup disk.

  • My bank's system upgrade tells me that my Mac is a public computer.  I know it's not but how do I find out for sure?

    I purchased myMac for private, personal use.    However, my bank's system upgrade says my Mac is a public computer and as such will now allow me to access any of my account information.   The passcode that the bank gave to me will not work with a public computer.   How can I make sure that my computer is still a private computer and not a public one?   If it has become public, since the bank system upgrade, how dp I get it back to being a private computer for my use only?    HELP PLEASE!

    When most bank sites ask whether or not your computer is public or private, it is usually for you to understand that if you are on a public computer...like a library...to not have the computer remember your personal password and also to remind you to log out.  If you are the only one that uses this computer, it is private. 

  • What's the best system upgrade for 'older' Mac Mini?

    My MacMini is about five years old:
    Model Name:    Mac mini
    Model Identifier:    Macmini4,1
    Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
    Number Of Processors:    1
    Total Number Of Cores:    2
    L2 Cache:    3 MB
    Memory:    2 GB
    Bus Speed:    1.07 GHz
    Boot ROM Version:    MM41.0042.B00
    SMC Version (system):    1.65f2
    This mini is still running  System 10.6.8, with the 'latest' version of Safari being version 5.1.10.
    Lately, Safari fails to perform certain features correctly on certain websites, and I have to switch to Firefox to make the websites work.
    Is it time for a system upgrade, so I can run a newer version of Safari?  If so, which newer OSX system version would be the best for me to upgrade to?

    A few other things to consider if you want to upgrade your OS.
    If you are using any apps that are still PowerPC apps, they will not run on
    any newer Mac OS.  So you will need to find replacements ($$$$).
    Also, in terms of apps, you need to make sure the apps you are currently
    using are compatible with the newer MacOS.  You may need to upgrade ($$$$)
    or find alternatives.
    Also, you will need to make sure any external hardware that you use with
    your Mac is also compatible with the newer MacOS.  You may simply need to
    update drivers or the hardware may no longer be supported ($$$$).
    So, upgrading your MacOS could end up costing more than just adding RAM!!!

    For me it occurred after this update..... I dunno why , but openbox wouldn't load, kde would, however
    Guess it's due to the mesa update and using the legacy nvida-173xx driver

  • I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

    I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings.

    I am having issues with my Window 7 on boot camp. My hardware is Macbook Pro Mid 2010 model and working on OS X 10.9.5. Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers. I installed boot camp5 but seem to be the wrong version and change to boot camp 4 which was updated okay. However I still cannot do the updates. Can someone advice me please? Thank you!

    Please see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support for the appropriate version of drivers related to the specific version of Windows 7.

  • BI 7.0: Source System upgrade from R/3 Enterprise to ECC 6.0

    Background:
    I am relatively new to BW team and will be going through my 1st source system upgrade.
    We currently have BI 7.0 SPS 17 connected to source system R/3 Enterprise EP1.
    We are upgrading to the source system to ECC 6.0.
    In Development and QA Environments:
    we will have access to both old (R/3 Enterpirse) and the new (ECC 6.0) source systems.
    We have a opportunity to compare the BW Objects, data flow and data loading from
    both source systems.
    In Production, however, we will just upgrade over 3 days downtime.
    One Question that comes to mind in this regard...
    What sort of things, we should be checking for before and after upgrade in Dev/QA and in Prod environments and what tools are available that can help the analysis and validation process ?
    Some of the suggestions that were given to me include following points.
    Before Upgrade:
    1 Check data, taking pre images of it for testing with post upgrade.
    2. Perform proper analysis of Source system related BW objects.
      - A complete listing of actively used Datasources,.. etc.
    3. Make delta queues empty,
    Make sure that all existing deltas are loaded into BW.The last request delta must not deliver any data and must be green in the monitor.
    4. Stop Process chains from BI (remove from schedule) and collection runs from R/3 side
    After Upgrade:
    1 After the OLTP upgrade, refer to note 458305 and other notes that are relevant to the actual upgrade
    (depending on the R/3 system release / R/3 plug-in to BI plug-in compatibility).
    2. Check logical system connections. Transactions SMQS, RSMO and SM59, If no access, then we can use Program RSRFCPIN_NEW for RFC Test.
    3. Check and/or Activate control parameters for data transfer. SBIW ---> General Settings --->
    Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/51/85d6cf842825469a51b9a666442339/frameset.htm
    4. Check for Changes to extract structures in LBWE Customizing Cockpit 
        - OSS Notes 328181, 396647, 380078 and 762951
    5. Check if all the required transfer structures are active. See OSS Note 324520 for mass activation.
    7. Check if all Source system related BW Objects are active - Transfer rules, Communication rules, update rules,DTPs,..etc. 
    Below is a link for some useful programs in this regard.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/pages/viewpage.action&pageid=35458
    6. Test all important datasources using RSA3 and check for OLTP Datasources changes .
    As soon as BW notices that the time stamp at the DataSource in the OLTP is newer than the one in the transfer structure, it requests replication of the DataSource and activation of the transfer structure. Transfer the relevant DataSources only if required, and transfer only the ones that have changed (RSA5 -> Delta).
    7. Create Data flow objects (trnasfer rules, infopackages, trnasformations, DTPs) for the Replicate
    new/changed datasources,if needed. 
    8. Check all CMOD enhancements.
    If we are using a customer exit with the extractor in the OLTP, see Note 393492.
    7. Check for unicode (all custom programs or Function Modules for DataSources)
    5.  Check all the queues in RSA7, start delta runs and test data consistency.
    For delta problems:In the BW system, start the 'RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE' program for the DataSource and the source (OLTP) system for which the init selections are then transferred from BW into the ROOSPRMSC and ROOSPRMSF tables in the source system so that the delta can continue.
    9. Take back up of data posted during upgrade for contingency planing.
    10. Run the entire set of process chains once if possible and let it pick up no data or the usual master data.
    Since we have lot of experts in this forum, who have probably gone through such scenario many times, i wanted to request you to Please Please advise if i have stated anything incorrectly or if i am missing additional steps, OSS Notes, important details...

    Thanks Rav for your detailed post and very helpful contribution by posting all the information you had regarding the upgrade.
    We have similar scenario -
    We are upgrading our source system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We have our BI system with BI 7.0 at support pack 19 (SAPKW70019).
    Our strategy in ECC deployment  ->
    In development we copied our old DEV 4.7 system DXX to new ECC system DXY (new system ID).
    In production we are going to use same system PRXX upgraded from 4.7 to ECC.
    Now we are in testing phase of ECC with all interfaces like BI in Dev.
    My questions are below ->
    How can we change/transfer mapping of all our datasources in Dev BW system BID to new ECC dev system DXY (Eg. Logical system LOGDXY0040) from Old dev system DXX (Eg. Logical system LOGDXX0040). We donot want to create new datasources or change all transfer rules/Infosources for old BW3.x solutions on our BI.
    Also in new ECC sourcesystem copy  we see all datasources in Red in RSA7 transaction. Do we need to initialize again all the datasources from our BW BID system.
    Is there any easy way for above scenario ?
    Please let me know if you have any further helpful information during your ECC 6.0 upgrade connecting to BI 7.0 system.
    I have found some other links which have some pieces of information regarding the topic -
    Upgrade R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 already in BI 7.0
