Problems with E71 and fearing firmware update

Hello, I currently have a Nokia E71 with phone software version 200.21.118 Installed and here are the following problems that i am facing
I cant install or run java apps anymore and whenever im trying to open a secure page on the internet my phoine locks up
also im having other problems with a few other apps locking up when they go online.
I thought that maybe updating the software will fix the problem
the fear that i have is i payed $700AU for this phone and im scared that updating it would make things worse or fatal
can someone help?
Thanks

I fixed it! After calling Apple support, we tried every kind of reboot you can think of:
command-option-P-R
Command-option-R
Shift key down
unplug
unplug and hold in start button for 30 seconds
Nothing worked. So I was going to take it in to the "Genius" bar, but I tried one more thing. I unplugged everything from the Mac - monitors, USB, ethernet, everything. Rebooted and waited for a minute. I then plugged one of my monitors in and voilá! the progress bar was there. So there you go - good luck!

Apple considers jailbreak a misuse of product. Any Apple.com site will refuse to support.
If you bought it with jailbreak intentionally, you made a mistake.
If you found out only after purchase, get your money back by returning it.

Anyone NOT having problems with ITunes 8 and latest firmware update???

I have really been put off updating to ITunes 8. The firmware update appears to be doing well. Is there anyone that uses a MacBook like myself who have had absolutely NO problems with new Itunes and firmware update? Answers on the back of a £50 note....

Not having issues now that I have updated all i(hardware) firmware to version 2.1, two phones and an iPod Touch, all work fine (So Far) (knocking on wood). As far as iTunes goes I have mixed feelings. It's a bit faster and more stable, however they removed the "Burn CD" ability from the software. That blows a bit as I would make CD's from some of my play lists to play in the car. Yes I can dock my devices in the car, but as a matter of convenience it's easier to fire up the CD when your in a rush.

Linksys WRT54 G V1.1 - Problems with SBC DSL after firmware update

I have a Linksys WRT54G version 1.1. I also have AT&T SBC Yahoo! DSL with the SpeedStream 5100 DSL modem.
It previously had the original firmware, as I never updated it. Last night I updated the firmware. It was successful. However ever since I have not been able to successfully connect to my SBC DSL.
I set it to PPPOE and used my SBC username and password to connect but it would not connect. Router name, domain name, host name and the new field called "service name" were all left blank previously....so I do not think anything changed there. I talked to the SBC technical support and the lady had no information to give me regarding any of those fields because the router was 3rd party....she gave me the Linksys number but how are they supposed to know any of SBC's specific information? Anyway I figured I mind as well post here instead of waiting in line for an on-line Linksys technical advisor.
There were also new added options in the updated firmware version like "advanced settings" I believe it is called....since the firmware update the "router" was set to be a hub instead of a router....so I changed it to router. Then I was able to go to status and finally be able to connect. Prior to that it was giving me an error saying it was not able to obtain an IP address from the server.
Although I was able to connect to the SBC DSL service through the router I am still unable to actually get an internet connection. Cannot receive weather through weatherbug or access websites through IE7. For the time being I disconnected the router and have the modem hooked directly to my desktop. This works OK temporarily but I'd love to get the router up and running again so I could use my wireless laptop as well as the increased security that the router provides.
If you can think of something I am forgetting or doing wrong with this new firmware update let me know. There are a bunch more options and settings than the original firmware that I am not really familiar with. Thank you in advance!

With most AT&T systems, the modem does your PPPoE login. The Linksys router should not repeat this login. Instead, in the WRT54G, the "Internet Connection Type" should be set to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP). This is the factory default setting.
Additionally, after a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
So, to fix your system, do the following:
First, reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, then power down your network, then wire the ethernet port on the 5100 to the Internet port on the WRT54G. Leave one computer wired to a LAN port on the WRT54G. Power up your network. It should work.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router might be dead. Report back with this problem.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, report back with this problem.
If you need additional help, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Sync problems with 3gs and itunes after update iOS 5.0

I am using a Vista PC with iTunes10.5. After updating my 3gs to iOS 5.0 I am not able to sync the phone. iTunes recognizes my iphone and then stays syncing at the backup stage....I deleted all my apps on the phone and deleted previous backups and tried syncing again, but in vain. I am clueless....

I just plugged it into my netbook and its Restoring it on there so thanks, I know I will lose what I never had backed up but just be happy if it works. Fingers crossed this fixes it.
Edit: It didnt work, come up with iTunes isnt connected to the internet then the restore fails

Intel Mini has problem with Mail/internet after firmware update (0.1)

Hello there.
I'm not sure, but I think my Intel Mini has gone bonkers after a firmware update (Mac mini-SMC-firmware-updater (1.0)
What happend is, that connecting to (both of) my two Gmail and Tiscali accounts is not working anymore. (no connection through gate 995)
I did not change anything in the accountsetup.
But now I notice that even my torrents (oops) can't connect anymore.
I think this all took place after the firmware update.
On Dutch sites I do not seem to get any useable answers, so I thought it be wise to go a bit more international.
Could anyone help me out on this one?
Cheers.
Marco

Wizzard,
Having the same problem here. After updating the firmware the wireless connection to the network is unstable. After rebooting the laptop most of the time I get "Low or no connectivity" message. Sometimes it connects and dies after a few minutes. And sometimes it connects and stays connected until shut down.
What do you mean by "u have to reset it for 30 seconds and then reconfigure it"? Do you mean you actually have to reset the router to default settings and reconfigure, or just power down and bring it back up?
Thanks,
Stas

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Problem with external keyboard after firmware update

I had an external keyboard plugged into my Macbook Pro (I normally use it on my Power Mac G5). Did a software update on the Pro, had an update for the Aluminum keyboard. Didn't notice it saying not to have any external keyboards plugged in. After the software failed to update because of my external being connected, the external stopped working, both on my Macbook and on my G5 tower. When I connect a mouse to the keyboard, the mouse still works completely fine. But typing won't work.
Any idea of what I can do to fix this?

Reload the firmware update and make sure it completes.

WiFi Problems - TC to MP, since recent firmware update

Hello,
i found some threads about other people having trouble here, but nothing seemed to fit my situation.
I have 2 Macs - a Mac Pro (Early 2008) and a MacBook (Late 2008). And a Time Capsule, which i purchased sometime between the Macs. Up to now, everything worked perfect, both machines were connected via WiFi to the TC. But since the recent firmware update, the MacBook works fine with the TC, absolutely no problems, but the Mac Pro (a bit longer distance) doesn't work any longer.
This started on Friday (i don't use the MP daily), it was impossible to get a WiFi connection, tried re-entering connection data and so - no success.
On Saturday, i used the cable to check the TC configuration, everything worked fine, and after fiddling around with the setup, i finally got WiFi working again.
Sunday - MP was off all the day.
Today - Just powered it up, no WiFi. When i disable and re-enable AirPort, it gets a connection for a second or 2, but then drops it. If i get a connection, i have a strong signal (all bars black), so signal quality isn't an issue. And before the update, everything worked fine, the only change is the firmware update last week.
The MacBook doesn't have any issues, no matter, where it is located. I'm currently writing this post on it while syncing some home directory stuff with the MP (MB connected via WiFi, MP connected via cable).
So what is this new problem? After damaging USB to complete unusability, Apple now continues with the WLAN features? What comes next? When will all this be fixed?
Meanwhile, i think it was not the best idea to switch to Apple about a year ago. The continous quality drops get painful meanwhile. I wonder when my iPhone gets unusable (which also works fine with the TC, by the way
...Michael

Hi again,
okay. It really was the 7.4.1 firmware. This morning, i reverted to 7.3.2, did a full reset, reconfigured everything, and now my network works fine as it did before.
It seems to be important to reconfigure the TC, as just downgrading the firmware didn't really help, while full reconfig with 7.4.1 also doesn't help.
I now turned off the automatic search for new versions on the TC. I will be informed by the AP Express, which has no problems with 7.4.1 yet.
Hope, Apple re-introduces quality control soon and doesn't make the customers be the beta-testers.
...Michael

D-Link and Bluetooth Firmware update

I am running 10.4.6 on a dual 2.7GHz G5. I have no built in Bluetooth so rely on a D-Link DBT-120 (rev4). I have tried three times unsuccessfully to apply the 1.2 BluetoothFWUpdate to allow use of the bluetooth keyboard in single user mode.
The updater looks for a device, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl, then again it looks for a device to update, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl and then nothing for a very long time. 2 hours last time. When I try to quit, I'm told the device has not been updated.
Profiler tells me
Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 1.7.3f4
Hardware Settings:
Address: 00-11-95-0e-17-2d
Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio
Firmware Version: 1.525 (1.525)
Has anybody had the same problem and if so, how did you overcome it?
Thanks.

Hi, Allan, AZTrailBlazer, and gordon —
Sorry to hear that you've joined the company of many who've experienced this frustration. But glad to hear that you succeeded, gordon.
You're correct, Allan: the firmware version reported for your Mac needs updating. For your configuration, expect to see 2.xxxx or 3.xxxx after the updater has run successfully. Your software version reflects the most up-to-date (updated via the OS X 10.4.6 Combo updater).
Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 [11/23/04] is the correct package. It is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X subsequent to OS X 10.3.6 — for PPC Macs with Bluetooth chips (internal or in an adapter) that preceded the new Bluetooth 2.0+EDR specification. (There's another version available for folks running 10.3.6.) Also, as the brief description notes, "The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, iBooks, and eMacs."
AZTrailBlazer, I believe that what you're recalling — "It seems that Apple has removed a page with the 10.4.3 version of the firware updater, but information on this topic for Tiger users is scarce" —— was related to a version of this updater that was made available last Winter via Software Update. Imho, firmware updates of any kind are best applied from their "stand-alone" download version — because their installation may require following special instructions. That's the case here — and the instructions have proven confusing for many people. (Please send feedback if you agree.)
I have worked with a lot of folks in this forum to help figure out how they can apply this firmware update effectively — so I'll cite a few threads that I hope will help you, too. Here is a recent example. ( A ) and ( B ) are examples where several participants provided feedback after succeeding. ( C ) is a recent case involving a D-Link DBT-120 adapter in which jump (the individual posting) explained some fine points that s/he thought might be helpful to others.
If you do a search — e.g., for [ +("D-Link" OR "DBT-120") +firmware +(update OR updater) ] in the Other Bluetooth Devices forum with results restricted to Alexander Traud — you'll find numerous cases where he has explained this for DBT-120 adapter users who want to utilize a Bluetooth headsets and other BLuetooth-enabled devices. Alexander's post here explains a "tricky" way to confirm whether the updater has been successful.
Warm regards,
Dean

Mavericks upgrade and Thunderbolt firmware update?

Hi Guys,
last week I installed mavericks to an external hard drive and am currently using my early 2011 MBP as a dual boot using Lion and Mavericks. The main reason is because my audio software is no longer being updated in Lion.
My next purchase once I start using Mav full time, will either be a belkin thunderbolt dock or the akitio thunder dock. So I can run my hard drives, tv etc from the thunderbolt port.
Problem is, I'm unsure if I can update my thunderbolt port in my machine, and both docks will only run on thunderbolt two.
in about this mac my information is this:
Model Identifier:     MacBookPro8,2
Boot ROM Version:     MBP81.0047.B27
SMC Version (system):     1.69f4
If I install the firmware updates here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
will I be able to update the firmware for my thunderbolt port from
Firmware Version:     22.1
Port Micro Firmware Version:     2.0.7
to whatever the latest one is, because I saw a post saying the latest frimware version is 25.1
any advice/ideas?
Cheers Iain.

I emailed Akitio and got this reply.
"The AKiTiO Thunder Dock is using Thunderbolt 1 but it's compatible with both Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2, so you can use it on earlier machines as well as the latest Thunderbolt 2 machines. However, the minimum system requirement is Mac OS X 10.9, so you will need to use Mavericks.
Regarding the EFI and SMC firmware, it's good to use the latest version and we usually recommend to update it as part of our troubleshooting process. The page you provided is the one I would have suggested too, so you can follow the links there and update your machine.
Keep in mind that this will not upgrade your Thunderbolt port as you put it, it only updates the firmware of your system."

"Wake from sleep" grayed out and BT firmware updater won't work

I've read a number of postings related to ways to correct the grayed out "wake from sleep" option in the Bluetooth prefs pannel, which is a problem I'm having since switching to a Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The problem I seem to be having is that the Firmware 1.2 updater for the DBT-120 Bluetooth adapter will run, but won't seem to actually flash my adapter (i.e., it won't actually update the device). It is H/W ver: B4, and is plugged directly into a USB port on the back of my fairly new G5 tower, so it seems like it should work.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Dual 2 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

That did the trick! My old G4 tower (Yikes!) was able to flash the BT adapter with the firmware update without a problem, even though my G5 was unable to ever finish the process. Once I plugged the updated adapter into the G5 the "Wake from Sleep" option was available and already selected.
Thanks so much for the tip-- I can finally put this question (and problem) to rest.
