Problem with the firmware update...

Now I have a new problem... I had the Xserve on my intranet so long that when I went to update it and plugged it into the Internet, there seems to be a firmware update. I started the update, and its supposed to come up with a status bar, but so far nothing. It's been 4 hours, and the screen is not getting a signal. I'm afraid that if I turn the system off and the system is actually upgrading the firmware that will mess up the system royally. I'm going to leave it for the next 24 hours, but if it's still sitting there chugging away with the blank screen, I'm going to have to turn it off.
Have any of you seen this problem? I may try and reset the firmware. I never had these problems until now... it's starting to get aggravating...

Clearly I have to answer my own questions in the server forums...
For anyone who may end up with a similar issue and finds this. Your firmware update probably didn't work correctly, download the Apple Firmware Restoration CD. Make sure you find the correct version for your computer, like my version was 1.4.

Problem with the firmware update and the restore

I've got an iPod 4g and today i wanted to update his firmware to the 4.5 version but during the update the iPod crashes and i doesn't make me restart himsel.

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!

Problems with the windows update site in 32-bit Vista Business

Hi Everyone,
I am experiencing problems with the windows update site. As far as I know it shold make a link to the Windows Update module on-board and show the available updates after scanning. However, I get to the page that says "Checking if your computer has the latest version of Windows updating software for use with this website" and the next page I get is "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view". The error number is 0x80070002. I go to the knowledge base and delete the content of the Data Store folder as advised, but to no use at all. Active X controls are enabled Java is working fine. I've cleaned the register and everything, did a complete scan with Onecare as advised by Microsoft, which did not find anything but again the same error message. I am using KIS 2009 and I am sure I have no viruses or any other malware. I even tried to go to the update site with the KIS switched off but to no avail too. On the other hand I don't have problems with the automtic updates and when I run a manual update from the Update module everything is OK. Do you have any suggestion as to what might be the issue with the website updates?
P.S. I am using 32-bit Windows Vista Business on a Lenovo W500.

I am having major problems with the latest update for my itunes!

I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'. I have completely uninstalled itunes but now it wont download at all. Have tried downloading it 4 times tonight already. Anyone know how to get it to download? Or what to do?

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Was there a problem with the last update? Every time I try to watch a video on the net it goes back to the home screen

Problems with z27x firmware update

When does Apple confirm their problem with the firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods???

I'm really frunstrated about the unwillingness from apple support to address/confirm the issue around firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods.
I spent hours to talk to support and explain varios tests I did on that subjetct, but apple keeps saying: It's not our problem!
Shame on apple! I really thaught apple is different, but it turns out, that between shareholder value und marketing campaines there's no space for customer care....
Did somone suffering with the same issue (video freezes after 30 sec and continues without sound) got any better answer from apple?
What information does apple need to confirm it's apple's problem?

PowerBook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have bought my 30GB iPod Video just 3days ago, and it tried to upgrade the ipod updater to 1.1.
I have updated my ipod without a problem. And I had also updated to latest version of iTunes.
Itunes had given error few times and closed itself while optimizing photos before transfering them to ipod. I have sorted out that it was due to my photo folder being over 2GB's, than started importing them in smaller portions by adding a new folder each time. Afterwords, photos and pictures copied to iPod without problems.(but i have to add, i have received a nonsense error like 'itunes cant write to folder or something)
After a bit of dazzling and struggling i was able to play videos and music as well. But after few seconds iPod screen frozen and i wasnt able to do anything. I have reboot it, and tried to change songs, and after few songs, the screen frozen again, wheel was not functioning but funny part, music was still playing. I got online and checked the forums and seen other people having those problems after upgrading to new firmware. I have uninstalled the 1.1 firmware and installed the one on CD, and I have also downgraded my version of iTunes as well. Now things seems to work all fine.
I just don't get why apple withdraws this buggy problametic version of firmware, they will drive more users go mad and not every computer/iPod user would figure out why it happened themselves...
One more thing I have to add. Why I am also having hard to understand why each version of iTunes started consuming unbelievedable amount of RAM on computer. I have 1.4Mhz centrino with 512 RAM, and the sound distorts(slows down) over iTunes when start copying files from DVD. Or it cause errors and shutdowns 'on optimizing photos' stage on iTunes when i try to copy photos to my iPod. I don't think 1.4Mhz and 512mb ram shall be called as low resource simply to use iTunes. They really need to retest, debug and optimize their software. And immediately, remove that 1.1 firmware from apple.com until they resolve the bugs and error inside it.

Problem with N5800 Firmware Update v 40.0.005

I have a problem with adding contacts to the home screen contacts bar.
I recently updated the firmware on my 5800 with the new browser and touch screen functions. When I view contacts normally using the contacts icons everything seems OK and all my contacts are there. However, when I add contacts to the contacts bar on the phone's home screen, the list of contacts the phone pulls up includes a number of entries called "unnamed" which I can not see when viewing contacts normally. In this selection list I am also missing some of my contacts that I can see if I view contacts in the normal way? So I am not able to add these to the contacts bar?
Anyone have any idea what's going on or a fix?
Thanks.

I am on v 51.0.006 and it gives Handwriting, Mini qwerty and Full qwerty options in Landscape mode...and Handwriting, Mini qwerty and Alphaneumeric in portrait mode...

Is there any problem with the new update 6.1.2 for iphone 5?

After I updated my iphone 5 to the new update there seems to be some difficulties with the camera. I get pink lines everywhere. It is a matter of seconds before it gets clear and again pink. But the problem started after the update. I asked other people who use iphone 5 and they said they didnt have the same problem. Its kinda weird I think. any suggestions?

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the red slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove the camera app from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the Camera app
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Problems with the latest update of software

Hello everybody, first of all I may write some words wrong because my language is not english but what I have to say is that I have a BIG problem with my Ipad, yesterday (03-06-2014) a new update arrived to my Ipad and I accepted the update, a few minutes after I saw the download running but after a hour the download completly stopped, I asked to a friend of mine if this is normal and she said that it was going to take the whole night to do the update, today (04-06-2014) i woke up and the update was at the same place, now what am I going to do? Am i going to lose everything that I had in my Ipad? Has this only happen to me? Why has my Ipad blocked? Am I going to be told that my Ipad has no arregement just because of this?
Attention: my Ipad has IOS 7.

How do I reset it? I have pushed every button on it and nothing happens.
Hold down on the home and power/sleep buttons at the same time for a few seconds and the iPad should restart.
