Numerous issues after firmware updates

After installing the latest firmware updates I've noticed several issues develop. Firstly, the keyboard and mighty mouse have become less responsive. Particularly within certain applications, for example in iPhoto there is so much latency with the mouse that it is nearly impossible to scroll across an event icon so that it will display the photos within the event. Or in the few games I play the mouse scrolls with a very jerky motion.
Safari has also not been working well since the update. Certain links (java links maybe) simply no longer work. Or even within this forum, Topics are no longer displayed. I had use Camino to view these forums.
The only reason I suspect that these issues are related to the firmware updates is that all of these issues arose immediately after installing the firm ware updates.
So far I have repaired permissions and used OnyX to run all of the maintenance scripts and empty all of my caches, but no luck.
If anyone can suggest something more to try or provide any insight, that would be great.

Not only these issues, but my iMac has reverted to its original problem of having random freezes. Twice now I have had the screen completely lock while my music/video continued to play in the background, forcing me to force re-start and lose work.
I don't have a clue what Apple thought they were fixing but if anyone knows how to downgrade firmware or if it's even possible please post up!

  • Early 2011 Macbook external display issues after firmware update

    I have a 2011 MBPro 15". After performing the firmware update in late April, I have continual issues when I connect my monitor. The screen is blank and I can move the mouse tap the keyboard etc. The display may come up for a scond and then it will close and the machine goes back to sleep. More wiggling and the process starts over.
    If I raise the lid it may bing up the external display. Restarting is the only sure fix.
    I also was unable to make a presentation today because the projector I was connected to would not show the MBP display.
    I tried all the key combinations, detect display etc. and nothing.
    Can I somehow go back to the prior firmware? Other solutions?
    SMC Version (system):          1.69f1
    EFI Driver Version:          01.00.521

    I recently did a software update to my MacBook pro and had a similar issue, on restart it gets to the apple logo then just shuts off, after multiple hours on the phone with apple care they told me that it was coincidence that it happened at the same time as the update and it would be costly to repair as it was either something to do with display or logic board. I took my MacBook into my retail location I bought it from and was told that they have had MULTIPLE people bring in macbooks with the SAME issue (I live in a really small city so the amount of people is quite large proportion wise) and that they could fix the issue by remotely resetting the MacBook at a cost of $130-$150. Relatively cheap considering what I was fearing, but if this is a common problem related to Apples update why are we paying to fix it and why is apple support saying its something major???

  • MacBook Battery Shutdown issue after firmware update - anyone reinstalled?

    Has anyone tried re-loading their OS? I have this issue too (though my battery lasts about 30 minutes) and this it powers down. I called apple (my SN starts with 8609) and told them I had a battery issue.
    They were not much help - they indicated to me that I am over my 90 days for phone support and that I would have to bring my battery in to the store to have it tested. They went further to say if it is a firmware issue and not a battery that is technically software and I would be charged $50 for battery testing if it passed. And that if there was actually a battery issue they would replace under the 1 year hardware warrenty.
    My dilemma now is should I try and wipe/reinstall the base OS (which I was told will undo the firmware upgrade).
    I thought I would check here to see if anyone tried this before swapping battery???
    I seems that the firmware update caused the problem but I am not sure if the battery is still good and the firmware is just crap or if the battery might still be ok. Has anyone wiped/re-installed the os and fixed this issue?

    thats good news then in my case if its the logic board. The cpu whine has been driving me nuts(being excessively louder then most other macbooks with the whine) so I've been wanting to get the logic board replaced anyways.
    Dont worry about the applecare though since we all should have it within the 1 year warenty still so all repairs should be covered.
    Imo I'm considering purchasing the extended applecare protection plan if i can come up with the money( $249 is a bit steep for me) to get anouther 3 years of warrenty service expecialy with all the problems macbooks have been having.

  • WRT310N Setup issues after firmware update and factory reset

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently updated my firmware to v2 on my WRT310N and found that I could no longer connect my PC to my router.  Whenever I run the setup software that came with the router it goes through all the steps but errors out when it looks for the router.  I think the error number I am getting is 322.
    I tried to reset the router to the factory defaults, but I am still having the same issues.  
    When I plug my Cable modem directly into my PC I have no issues and have full internet connectivity.  I have tried to navigate manually to the 192.168.1.1 to do a manual setup of the router but I can't get to the router main page.
    I'm running windows XP SP3 and I had no issues up until I did the firmware upgrade.  I can't think of what I am doing wrong and am stuck.
    Any thoughts?

    Make sure that the cable modem is connected to the Internet port of the router. Your computer should be connected to one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the router. If your computer is connected to the port 1 of the router then port 1 light on the router will lit up. Also make sure that the Power light on the router is steady and not flashing. If the power light on the router is flashing then try to reset and power cycle the router again.
    Once the power light on the router is steady then check the IP address of the computer.
    Go to Start >> Click Run >> Type cmd and click Ok. You will get the command prompt window opened. In the command prompt type ipconfig and hit Enter on your keyboard. You will see the IP address of your computer. The IP address of the computer will be like 192.168.1.xxx and Default gateway will be 192.168.1.1.
    Now open the Internet browser and in the address bar type the number 192.168.1.1.
    It will ask you to enter the User name and password for the router. Leave the user name blank and in the password type admin. It will open the Linksys router setup page.
    Under the setup tab you will find Mac address Clone sub-tab.  Enable the MAC addres clone and click on the button Clone my PC's MAC. Save the changes. Try to access the Internet on your main computer.
    If not able to access the Internet then unplug the power cable to the router and modem. Plug in the power to the modem first. Wait for a minute and then plug in the power to the router. Try to access the Internet.
    Once your main computer is able to go on line then you can change the wireless settings of the router.

  • SA520W Configuration Access Issues After Firmware Update

    The problem I'm having is a minor one, but a problem nonetheless.  I'm new to this company and took over from the previous IT guy who was let go so he's the one who set all this up.  We are using a Cisco 1841 which was provided by our ISP, and it is plugged in to the WAN port on the SA520W.  The SA520W has the static Wan connection info and it is what makes the connection.  Initially, we were able to access the SA520W configuration page with either it's default gateway 192.168.5.1 or with the IP 204.101.24.67, which is the static IP in the Optional WAN Port settings of the SA520W.  After upgrading our SA520W from 1.1.42 to 1.1.65, I am no longer able to access the router using 204.101.24.67.  I can only get in using the default gateway (192.168.5.1).  The Optional WAN port is not in use and never has been which confuses me - I took screenshots of all the settings before the upgrade and nothing has changed at all.  I guess I'm confused as to how I was initially able to access the router using 204.101.24.67, and why it stopped working after the firmware upgrade.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I re-read your original Post; are you not using the WAN port also?  Did you try and remote in from a switch attached directly to the WAN/Optional WAN port?  I am asking as I have almost the exact same setup using an 1811 which is NATing the SA.  I could not reach it as the one-to-one NAT on the 1811 was not set correctly.  I also went through the firmware upgrade and experience the same issues you are.  I had the CISCO account with WAN access, and the upgrade removed that (after a lot of scratching).  However, my real problem was also the routing on the 1811.  I eventually had to get the guys to do a one-one NAT and remove all ACL and rules, but that does not mean it can't be done with it either.  Try reaching it with a switch or cable and see what happens.

  • Stacks issue after firmware update 1.2, won't fan anymore only grid.

    This issue was resolved when I updated to the 10.5.2 Leopard OS but now that I've updated the firmware with the most recent update yesterday the stacks function in the dock went back to just being able to show the grid format and when I choose the list format it comes up in a standard list (menu) view not the nice new fan view.
    Has anyone else had this issue yet? Has anyone been able to fix it? I can see from the install log that there were errors and it looks like they were specifically with the dock/stacks portion but I'm not code savvy enough to know how to fix them.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, at the risk of insulting your level of expertise - is your Dock on the side instead of the bottom? There's no fan available with side-docked Docks, either in function or the popup menu.
    If that's not the case, try trashing the Dock's plist and see if that makes it behave.
    Please keep in mind we see many, many beginners or otherwise naive users asking questions which have simple answers, and no insult is intended when a suggestion is made that you've already tried; it's hard to assess a writer's knowledge level. When your original post said "and when I choose the list format it comes up in a standard list (menu) view not the nice new fan view" it made it hard to determine your level for 2 reasons: You referred to the "new fan view" which is not new in 10.5.2, the upgrade you said you just installed, and if you "chose the list format" why would you expect it to show you a fan view? That's probably why Bruce told you to select "fan view". It was probably just a less-than-perfect sentence on your part, but you might be able to see, in retrospect, that it sounded a little newbie-ish.
    Bruce tried to help you and we can only hope that your reaction does not make him hesitate to help someone else lest he get snapped at again!

  • N8 - Picture Browser Issue After Firmware Update

    Since I´ve updated to PR1.1 I have a lot of tearing and blurriness when I see my pics at max zoom in the phone´s own pic browser.
    Pics viewed in my PC are just fine.
    I´ve tried to reinstall the FW 2 times already, but the problem remains.
    Details from my FW version:
    PR1.1 013.016.C11.01
    Language: 013.016.34.01
    PC: 0599221

    I also have the same problem. I have two Bluetooth headsets, Nokia BH-101 and Sony Ericsson MW600. Both worked just fine before Anna update. But after installing ANNA, both hands free units giving problems. After couple of calls its simply not responding, and phone get stuck and touch screen not responding to any commands.
    After disconnecting the BT handsfree, sometimes phone starts to work fine but in rare cases, it shows as a headset connected even after disconnecting the BT headset.
    And when you restart the phone, its start working again with BT. But not for so long. This is a real headache. Please give a solution.

  • Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

    Hi All,
    Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware.  I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
    Before updating firmware
    Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
    He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
    For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
    Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
    If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
    For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
    Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
    If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
    Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

    Hi,
    If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
    you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
    Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth.  Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
    Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup.  Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
    Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
    Hope this could help
    I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

  • Date format Issue after HRSP Update

    Hi,
    We are faced with a strange issue after HRSP update was applied on our client system (upgraded from SAP-KE-30 to SAP-KE-36).
    There is an outgoing interface which picks up all the the starters into the local government pension scheme and updates a B2A document. This is implemented via a z-program.
    When we look at the out put after the interface has run for the  vast majority of employees it shows their date of birth as 21.05.1968 when it should show it as 21051968. This only appears to have happen after the HRSP's have been applied.
    No modifications have been made to the z-program. What could be the reason for this issue. has anyone faced such an issue post HRSP update?
    Any pointers on how to further investigate and resolve the issue will be most helpful.
    Regards

    Hello Iside,
    In this case we can try to reload the software on the BlackBerry Smartphone to make sure it is running the latest version and there are no issues with the OS on the device.
    To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry Smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your device. Click on the Backup and Restore options and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry Smartphone.
    Once you have backed up your BlackBerry Smartphone please follow the link below to complete a clean reload of the BlackBerry Smartphone software.
    Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
    Please test the date once the software is reloaded prior to restoring the backup.
    Thank you

  • Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

    Hi,
    I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
    But now I have following problems:
    I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
    The Radio app. is gone
    Does anyone has a solution for this?
    Iwan

    It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.
