PHILIPS CDD5301 = not so good, new firmware?

Hi, I have a PHILIPS CDD5301 in my MDD, along with my Pioneer 106D.
The Pioneer drive is flawless in operations, the Philips is another story,
it seems slow reading DVDs, and in overall performance looks much worst
..seems also to "hang" more ofte, the Pioneer 106 , never, it works like a champion.
Now I have firmware Z1.4 on the Philips (?), is there new ones i can download
to improve it, or is that the latest or whatever I have on this Powermac.
I love the dual G4s, dont want to get a G5.
cheers
sir double null

There is no Mac-based flasher that will allow you to update the firmware while the drive is installed in your Mac.
If you move it to a PC, it may be possible to overwrite the Apple Firmware with a Phillips version, but you may also kill the drive.
People have been successful replacing Apple firmware on Pioneer drives (using a Mac-based flasher), but there is never any guarantee that you won't just kill the drive in the process.

  • Safari not working with new firmware

    Safari doesn't seem to be working now that I installed new firmware on Macbook Pro

    Where did you get the firmware, and what specifically was it for? You need to know this before downloading or installing anything.

  • Short code is not working after new firmware updat...

    I am in USA on T-mobile network. I recently updtated my N80 to the latest firmware 4.07.XXX. Everything worked fined especially VoIP features. However, I used short cut code for example like #MIN# to get my min usage status for my acct. It sends the message but not receive back the message like it used to be. Is anybody have similar issue? None of the short code is working on my phone.

  • Video download not working after new firmware.

    Updated to the latest firmware on the 5530 and I just noticed that video downloads in youtube, etc. are not working anymore. They worked fine before. 
    The player opens, says Loading... gets to 0% and nothing.
    When I quit the app, it says, "video is not saved, do you wish to save it?"
     Suggestions?

  • New firmware for E61, Product ID 0531059?

    Hello,
    does the NSU just not find the new firmware or is it not released yet? At least a search for that number did not show me any results.
    Thank you!

    Code 0531059 = Vodafone D2.
    No new firmware for this product code yet.
    First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
    Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
    My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

  • By the time new firmware?

    The more we wait phone users to solve the problems of the firmware 40?
    We have now spent too much time with bugs, and without solution.

    Look at  another way by not having the new firmware you are saved the bother of not being able to use the phone as you did before ,  dont need to post saying xxx dont work no more  ,do not have to go posting bug reports , nor complain about the new firmware and want to revert to your old firmware .

    If you cannot re-download purchased apps it's usually because you've reached your re-download limit. I don't think it has anything to do with the Belle Refresh update.

  • New Firmware (v2.2.0.7) Released for SA520 SA520W SA540 SA500 Series Routers

    Cisco has released new firmware for the SA500 Series routers.  It's version 2.2.0.7 and can be downloaded here:
    http://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html?mdfid=282414017&i=rm
    We have been running on this version on our SA540 for months.  Other than some changes to logging that we don't particularly like, it has been a very stable release for us although 2.1.71 was extremely stable in our environment as well.
    Our environment:
    SA540 (gateway router)
    three Linksys E4200 v1 routers (configured in "bridge mode" which turns the devices into WAP's)
    Netgear GS724Tv3 switch (with two ports in LACP link aggregation mode which are used by our Synology NAS)
    Synology DS1812+ NAS (in link aggregation mode)
    Several 5- and 9-port unmanaged switches
    Several Windows machines (PC's, servers, laptops) of many flavors
    Several MAC laptops of many flavors connected via wired and wireless
    Several tablets (iPads, Kindles, Touchpads, Xooms, etc.) of many flavors connected via wireless
    Several smartphones (iPhones, etc.) of many flavors connected via wireless
    At any one time we have ~75 active devices on our network of which ~25 are wireless.  Max ~100 devices.
    We utilize IPS and ProtectLink. We do not take advantage the ProtectLink email protection or license the ProtectLink Endpoint functionality.
    BTW, our cable modem is directly connected to our SA540.  Our SA540 is directly connected to our Netgear switch.  Nothing else is connected to our SA540.  Our Netgear switch, and to a small part our numerous unmanaged switches, do all of the heavy lifting.
    Our SA540 and Netgear switch handle all of the traffic with ease, but we are a relatively small shop.

  • New Firmware Features

    The support page says not to install new firmware unless you are having trouble or want the new features provided. Where do we find out what enhancements were made to a firmware version?

    There is usually a firmware version file available for download with the firmware file. The version file describes the changes.

  • Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?

    Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?

    There is no way around the activation lock. You apparently decided to use the phone with someone else's ID set up for an iCloud (and find my iPhone) account before updating. Since Find My iPhone was active, updating to iOS 7 has automatically turned on the activation lock. If you do not have the Apple ID and password that were previously used, then the phone is now useless. You can't activate it without that informaion.
    Talk to whoever you bought the phone from if you can. If you can't, buy a new phone.

  • After creating a new slideshow I export it with the  setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not  as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

  • Does anyone else think the new iPhoto is not very good? you can no longer burn photo cd's directly from it!

    I do not like the new iphoto, it will not let you burn a photo cd directly from iphoto like it used to. It use to be simple, now it's not. I also think the faces feature is a waste of time and you can't disable it. Overall i am not happy with this new product i had to pay for. I had to update the iphoto i loved because they stopped letting you send your photo's to be printed from it. Apple is failing. It seems they are more after new sorces of revenue then keeping a good product.

    Did you have a question?
    I don't use the Faces feature, nor the Places one either, but I don't find them a waste of time. There's nothing to disable, just don't use them. Burning to optical media is going the way of the floppy disk. New computers of every brand are showing up now without optical drives. In five years you'll have trouble finding a computer with a built-in drive to buy and in 10, you'll find it hard to get a drive that will play optical media at all. iPhoto 08 was released in 2007 and that means they supported online printing services for 6 years. The installed base of iPhoto 08 is so small now that it's not worth their while.  How you get from your inconvenience to "Apple is failing" is not clear to me. iPhoto 11 is a much more capable application that 08, complete with full non-destructive editing.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 N911g new firmware will not install.

    My printer: Officejet Pro 8600 N911g
    Current Firmware: CLP1CN1416AR
    My problem: Downloaded the latest firmware update (Version CLP1CN1322CR). When I go to install it, my printer shows as listed, but in the STATUS cloumn, it is listed as "Not applicable".
    I turned my printer on/off.
    I tried updating via network, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
    I tried updating via USB.
    I tried updating via the LCD panel on the printer, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
    Is there something wrong as to why this current firmware will not install?
    Thanks for any help.

    New Firmware (CLP1CN1416R) was installed automatically (Printer was set for "Auto Update").  Prior to new firmware install,  printer has performed flawlessly...no problems.  Immediately after printer updated it's firmware automatically I began to have multiple problems. 
    First, it kept asking me to perform an "Alignment" which I dutifully performed only to have message come back that 'Alignment Failed".  Printed sheet looked fine, and printer printed fine but now before any page will print the "Alignment Recommended" message comes up which I have to then override (Click 'Do Not Align' button at bottome of 'Alignment Recommended' message box.  This is getting really OLD!!  Simply unacceptable for a business class printer!! 
    Also, the printer randomly has started giving other messages such as "There is a problem with the printer or ink system" AND "Cartridges are Missing" ("when I've just recently put in new catridges and levels are OK!!) AND "Paper Jam" (when there is no jam!!) 
    None of these problems have occurred prior to the automatic firmware update.  I believe the reason HP hasn't posted the new firmware update to their Customer Service website is that they know there are bugs in it and don't want to compound the problems the new version has already created.  I seriously question why an automatic updating of firmware was done with equipment set to "Auto Update" and yet that same new firmware is not available to those who might have had their printers set for "Manual Update". 
    HP Customer Service - You need to issue a statement from the company as to what has happened with this firmware update.  If there are problems, take responsibility for it and make it right.  HP knows who it sent out auto updates to.  These printer owners should be immediately notified and the situation made right.  It is not real assuring to have your front line staff not know why the new firmware is not on the website.  I do not like the idea of having to pay for a Support Call when the problems with my out of warranty printer are directly tied to the Auto Updating of said printer with apparently defective firmware.
    I'd really appreciate a response back from someone in HP Customer Service.
