Problem with superdrive firmware upgrade???

Hello
When I booted my Macbook today a screen came that offered 3 upgrades. One to iTunes, one a firmware upgrade for the superdrice and one more???
I ran the upgrade and re-booted. The problem is now I get a message with every re-boot saying that there no such drive to be upograded?? And I have to cancel.
Help?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Just go to System Preferences, Accounts, Login Items and select the SuperDrive update and then click the minus in the lower left side of the panel. That will turn it off and keep it from starting each time you start your computer.
Or, you can go into Utilities and drag the SuperDrive Updater icon into the trash. It won't hurt anything, once the update is finished, you don't really need the application anymore, AFAIK.

Problems with EFI Firmware Update to 1.5 for mid 2010 Mac Pro, and sleep issues

Hello to the community, I have run into an annoying issue.
I need to update the EFI firmware on my 8 core mid-2010 Mac Pro. I downloaded the EFI update from the apple website from here : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1321
But everytime I download it, as I click to install, it gives me the message:
Alert
This software is not supported on your system.
But clearly this is the correct EFI for my computer. I tried burning the Firmware restoration onto a CD from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1320
But the computer did not respond the way it said it should (with the 3 flashes/beeps etc.) and have the optical drive open for the CD.
So I'm completely stuck.
*Also my Mac Pro had issues with sleep, when I put it to sleep, sometimes when I try to bring it back, it restarts itself, and other times, it just turns itself on and the monitor screen remains black, so I have to hit the power button to turn it off then back on again. This only happnens when the computer has been put to sleep for a slightly extended period of time, roughly 20mins +, sometimes longer. I was trying to solve this problem by first updating the firmware because I think it could be related to that, but I've had this problem with the firmware so I couldn't find out. This is actually the bigger problem for me because it will affect my work. I am currently using an iMac while I fix up this mac pro.
I'm a music composer so I've upgraded many aspects of my system due to work. I have a 1TB Samsung 840 evo SSD, 2 seagate 2 TB HDD, and 1 WD 1TB HD (the original one in the mac pro), along with 32 GB of RAM. So my only problems are the firmaware and the weird activity when the computer is put to sleep.
Some help would be greatly appreciated!

No Problem with Old Firmware

I am having no problems with old firmware for my 27" iMac Quad i5. Should I update anyway?

As posted in another thread, after having my first ever screen flickers only after installing the 4850 firmware patch:
"Called tech support. She had me do a PRAM reset and since then I loaded 25 programs, many of which were busy doing things like playing music, using iSight, playing video - no more flicker or black screens. I expressed my doubts that the PRAM reset would help, but it appears to have been effective for this.
By the way, with 25 programs loaded and several active, I was able to use only 4 GB of this 16 GB machine. All 8 threads were busy but overall CPU use was modest most of the time. I think I taxed the GPU though and no problems."

Who has had a problem with Zen Firmware upgra

Its difficult when reading through the?message boards to get a true reflection of what is happening, clearly quite a number of people have had problems after and during the process of upgrading firmware, others clearly have not, I am interested to see how wide spread the problem is. Now clearly to some degree there are going to be more people on a site like this with a problems, those who have upgraded without any difficulties are blissfully unaware. So if you have a problem just post a yes I am sure you have vented your frustration in a myriad of posts elsewhere anywhere this is purely an attempt to gauge the size of the problem.

Well it now appears Creative want to charge me ?83.43 to fix there problem thats putting it politely, I am planning to contact the IT Press to see how widespread this problem is please add to this post if you are having problems with the latest firmware release.

Driver help with adapter firmware upgrade

I'm trying to upgarde the firmware for my Netgear WG511T adapter. After
uninstalling the current firmware, the Netgear firmware upgrade
installation requests the infamous 'Novell Netware DOS driver disk' -
first thing it wants is "lsl.com" (not sure if I will need others).
I've pointed the installer to the likely folders and searched the hard
drive for the file, but no success.
I have found a couple of Novell drivers files at:
1) http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13555.html
reportedly useful for my situation
and
2) http://download.novell.com/SummaryFr...d=SUeAaKqKpQA~
the latest (& last?) Novell Client v3.4 for Windows* 95/98
My question is - Am I on the right track ? - thing is, probably
obviously, that I (think?) I know just enough to be dangerous.
I thought it would be a good idea to ask how I should proceed here, in
this forum, after searching for help with this situation and only
finding clues, as opposed to a clear solution.
Thank you,
MB

Alright - just in case this comes-up in someone's search for advice on
the same problem.
Turns-out I did not really need any drivers - I saw a comment to that
effect on another site in my search for tips.
Anyway - anyone with the same problem should just 'cancel' the search
for drivers and continue the installation of the firmware - mine
installed after I cancelled the search for 'lsl.com'
I now have my first wireless network running - and with WPA encryption
- and it is working !
Thanks,
MB

N97 - Problems with hearing after upgrade

I updated my firmware on my Nokia N97 as i have been having numerous problems with dropped calls, my phone freezing and apps dissapearing from my home page. I had to reset my phone constantly as it would freeze in a call.
I updated my firmware to version 22.0.110 yesterday 06 July 2010. Now i cannot hear the other person on the phone calls. I try to adjust the volume level on the side to make it louder but this doesn't help. I reinstalled and it still is the same.
My phone is now worse than before...now i cannot even make phone calls as i cannot hear the other person, but they can hear me clearly.
Can someone help or are experiencing the same problem after the upgrade?

Hey, i have same problem with my Nokia N97mini.
Try to press with your finger to the earpiece zone when you cannot hear.
You never can fix this via upgrade or hard reset.
its hardware bug in all nokia s60v5 phones.

10.4.7 problem with superdrive

I'm using macbook 2.0 with superdrive and it works fine with 10.4.6
Since I upgrade to 10.4.7, I can't burn any DVD, it always says "Medium error" while using Toast. I try to use Burn Folder and it can't detect any inserted Blank DVD.
However there is no problem on reading DVD. I can watch DVD as usaul.
Should I role back to 10.4.6 ?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

As a member of the Mac Software Developers Group, I believe I can safely attest to a problem with 10.4.7, the iMac SuperDrive, and Roxio Popcorn 2.0/Toast 7.1
Before the 10.4.7 update (and using 10.4.6), I burned a great many Dual Layer Verbatim DVD's with no problems whatsoever. Truly, these discs are bullet-proof and always have been.
However, after updating to 10.4.7 (and re-applying the Combo updater a couple of times), I TOO have been seeing "bad parameters," "bad media," and "cannot complete last command because of a Mac OS X error" messages.
If I immediately turn around and burn the VERY SAME MOVIE using Popcorn 2.0/Toast 7.1 on my external LaCie DL device, I experience no problems whatsover. Clearly, 10.4.7 and the SuperDrive do not play well together for some reason.
Any ideas/feedback?
NOTE: I'm presently having no problems with burning single layer Taiyo Yudens, so my suspicions must lie with the DL SuperDrive interface.

Problem with bnx firmware and older uek

I am getting a kernel panic when I start Oracle ASM with my current uek, 2.6.32-300.7.1.el5uek. I want to see if the two older uek kernels installed have the same symptoms, but I've run into a different problem there. I can't get the ethernet interfaces working because the firmware file bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a.fw is missing.
I think I need to get the matching firmware rpms installed and I can see they exist in our local yum repository:
./yum/unknown/OL5/latest/x86_64/kernel-uek-firmware-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek.noarch.rpm
./yum/unknown/OL5/latest/x86_64/kernel-uek-firmware-2.6.32-300.4.1.el5uek.noarch.rpm
However, I'm going in circles with yum
Here's a sample of what I've tried.
# yum list installed |grep kernel-uek

Issue with SUPERDRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE 3.0

Hi! I'm having what I feel is a small issue with the SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0 that Apple released on August 31st, 2009. Software Update suggested I apply this update, as my SuperDrive's firmware (HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N) was KA15 and needed to be updated to KA16. Apple said on their website that this upgrade would "eliminate the noise made by the optical disk drive during system startup and wake from sleep" (as seen on http://support.apple.com/downloads/SuperDriveFirmware_Update_30). I installed it and restarted my iMac.
However, the SuperDrive's noise was not gone; it's still as loud as it was before. When I turn the iMac on, the things that I hear are, first the fans (or whatever that sound is), then the SuperDrive noise and finally, the iMac's startup sound.
Did I do something wrong? Am I missing something? Is this normal? I followed every instruction the Firmware Update installer gave me, but the noise isn't gone...
I tried to re-install it but then it would tell me that my computer wasn't eligible for the upgrade because the firmware was already up-to-date... Oh, and by the way, the SuperDrive does not make any noise when waking up from sleep mode, so it only has to do with the startup process.
I'd really appreciate some info on this issue...
Thanks!

Hi
you are not alone, same behaviour for me: drive is not making noise when waking from sleep, but does when starting up.
I tried resetting PRAM in case it helps, but no luck.
Not that it annoys me, I can live with this, but the update clearly doesn't do what it says.

N95 photo shooting problem with new firmware V11

I have got a problem with photo shooting after upgrading my N95 (Product Code: 0534832) to the new firmware (v11.0.026) via Nokia Software Updater.
Before upgrading the firmware, I can turn off the loud and ugly snapping sound when shooting a photo; all I need to do is to change to Silent Profile (that has Warning tones OFF). But it seems that I can no longer turn that ugly sound off with the new firmware!
Is that a bug? Is there another way I can turn the sound off?

Actually I have 2 N95 phones, one is my GFs, both of them are bought and used in Hong Kong.
The way I test the differences between versions is directly comparing each feature with the two phones, where the one with new firmware has product code #0534832, and the one with old firmware has product code #0548445. Both of them has www.nokia.com.hk printed on the box and manuals, so I assume local law is not an issue.
By the way, I have just discovered that the one with product code #0548445 cannot update via Nokia Software Updater.

Nokia E71 problem with New Firmware 410.21.010

I have updated my Nokia E71 (RM-346) to new firmware 410.21.010. It creating a problem with battery that drain out quickly. Before update, for normal use, I need to charge once a week. But after upgrade new firmware 410.21.010. It finishes in 24 hour for normal use. I have read article that I can not downgrade, just only to wait for next firmware. Have some one any solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had a Nokia E71 running very happily on version 3 firmware. I updated the firnware to 410.21.010.
It worked fine until I switched the phone off and tried to re-start the phone. It stopped working.
It is my work phone. The messaage on the phone said take it back to my retailer. He tried to get it fixed but because Nokia say it is out of warranty I am out of a phone that is set up to use the Oki system.
It worked perfectly well until the software update.
It is now at my retailer waiting for me to collect.
This is very disappointing.
Especially as I am now considering not using a Nokia telephone ever again. Moreover, I am sure that Fair Trading would consider this matter very strange and might like ot investigate it further.
I want my E71 fixed for free by Nokia as it was working without any malfunctions until the firmware update - which was done after receiving notification from Nokia. I have not been able to use the Oki system for some weeks now and would like to contiue using Nokia. Otherwise I guess Nokia lose another customer to iPhone or HTC or Samsung. I await anyone's advice on this matter.

Wifi problem with Mac after upgrade to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks but something wrong with my wifi.
i can get internet through LAN link from Airport but not through wifi even i can receive an IP address
i tried connect to hotspot with my iphone5s and it works.
Other devices can use wifi just fine through Airport, just not my Mac using Mavericks
In conclusion,
Airport should be fine because my other devices works.
Mac wifi should be fine too because i can connect using hotspot.
so why it's not working when i connect Mac to Airport?

I was having problems connecting to Wifi with my Macbook Pro (!2010), after upgrading to Mavericks. I was on the phone repeateadly with AT&T because I have Uverse. Testing everything (channels, signal strength) and had techs come out to check the line, ports, switches, etc. When I hardwired the Mac into the Uverse router, it worked fine. This rulled out any problems with the line in.
I considered getting a repeater but then I read that repeaters are not really good and it is better to reconfigure a router to act as an access point on the network. Plunked down about $80 for a Belkin AC750 router at Best Buy. In the setup it has an option to set it up as an access point only. Clicked that, connected it to my Motorola NVG510 Uverse modem and then connected to the Belkin router from my Mac. Voila! It's been a solid 11+ Mbs ever since (my plan maxes at 12Mbs). Connection is still solid and life if good even though it ***** to plunk down another $80 for a second router. But it was worth it just to get rid of the headaches.
I think the wifi capabilities of the Motorola NVG510 modem are the cause of a lot of problems with AT&T Uverse issues, particularly for Mac owners. I think it was also causing my Airport Expresses to drop occasionally.... Few minutes of music then drop... music drop.... All gone now.
I don't know if you are on Uverse but if so, I highly recommend configuring a second router as an acces point (it can be any old router you still might have - the setup is just a bit trickier because you have to do it manually).
Good luck.

I Phone 4 - problem with bluetooth after upgrading to ios 4.2.1

Since I have upgraded the software on my I phone 4, I have noticed a problem with my hands free kit in my car using bluetooth. When I make a call the sound comes through the system ok, but if I dial to voicemail the sound doesn’t come through. I never had this problem prior to the upgrade. Any suggestions?

At least there is a way! only problem by doing this is, on the vodafone network you have to input your phone number followed by a pin every time if you access using +447836 121 121. The short key 121 is the way forward! Will this be fixed? is there a way of taking the I phone 4 back to previous version of software?

Problems with mail after upgrading to Mavericks

Hello,
since I upgraded to Mavericks, I have problems with Mail.
The mail app doesn't retrieve any mail from my email servers. IMAP or POP or exchange mail no longer work.
I have these problems on my iMac and my MBP.
The strangest thing is that I have no more new emails in my icloud account since the upgrade. Not only does mail not retrieve the emails but I even can't see any new mail online.
On my iphone with iOs7 the mails are retrieved, except of course the mails from the icloud account.
Has anybody a solution at hand?
Thanks

this might help with the gmail problem: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/?viewall=true
