Saddened at the loss of support for 32bit hardware

My 32bit '07 Mac is crying and I am too,
As a strong supporter of Apple products early on I've been let down at the resent change to support only 64 bit hardware. As a old geek from the 80's I understand the movement to bigger, stronger, faster. Though as a father of 7 I don't have the luxury to keep up, even at a low end with the Macs. I have an '07 Mac and carried the news of how innovative and user friendly Apple products are to all my windows friends. They now continued to be amazed at the strong leadership into what I agree the future of this technology is. It saddens me that at this point I will not be able to even keep up at a cheap end. I hope in the next months support for 32bit hardware may arise. Though honestly I was hoping that as an early adopter of your hardware you may be able to do something on the low end to assist me. I just would like to continue to be able to support our company as it moves forward into what we both know the future holds. Pickup and play technology, seamless to the user.

  • SOLVED - BIOS UPDATE "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN the NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT for this VERSION of HPQflash

    If you get infamous error when updating HP Portables (laptops/notebooks/ netbooks) BIOS within Windows:
    "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION OF HPQFLASH":
    I am posting a solution found for own business laptop (HP 8540W & 8760W) so WebSearch engines index/register it in a few days - future sufferers come here and get a SOLUTION, finally.  Disreagrd previous "experts" advises, they don't work 100% & pity on TechSupport folks who get HP paychecks yet don't know products their co. designs/manufactures (on deep Technical level):
    Below is a SOLUTION (WORKING) !
    Go into Services (Run "services.msc" or get there thru ControlPanel-->AdminTools-->), find following 2 services ==> make sure they're running, chances are they're NOT (as in my case I keep them disabled unless need running):
    1) "HP Software Framework"
    2) "HP Service" [no typo - a real plain name]
    If not running, set Properties-->Manual and click "Start", make sure both are running.
    Rerun BIOS updater, choose option for "Within Windows" or something to that effect (using HPQ/ROMpaq updater), rather than "create USB BootDisk on Key", this time it should work without the hassle of a BootDisk creation.
    Should work from within Windows environment.
    Notes:
    a) Likely only one (1) service is responsible - namely "HP Software Framework" for HPQ Updater to fail, but doesn't hurt to reenable/restart both services.
    I in fact am responding to other customers who elect to Update BIOS within Windows, perhaps oldfashioned but to me Boot Updater is more natural & always works regardless of WMI Support.
    b) After done, don't forget:
    *) Recheck BIOS settings - update may've added new and/or changed old, so rescan tobe sure.
    **) Go BACK into Windows-->Services.msc & redisable both aforementioned Services if were originally disabled; or you're a computer Pro, you know what you're doing & like me keep all HP services disabled.  The ones we got on EliteBook 8760W are pests consuming system resources, you just enable "Software Framework" when occasional issues emerge with HP softupdate (typically no issues) & redisable after use, rest of services are bloatware - some attempt to overrun Windows Wireless console, some seekout HP Networked printers (Ethernet, Wireless, but not USB), some do this & that - I study/know which one does what and decided to disable all. This is called a "minimalist" philosophy & turns your machine into a fast beast, I recently sold a very obsolete 4-year laptop which however handles 3DMCAD & complex designs/simulations, better new machines out fo a store, as new machines are loaded w/bloatware chocking down resources.
    BUT nobody is requiring you to disable anything though.
    The solution merely states the fact:
    These 2 (or 1) services when not running halt BIOS Update "within Windows" (you can still run "BootDisk option", however, if preferred).
    Simply restartung them solves your problem.  Usually
    Ya'll have a good day and enjoy!
    ===========
    BELOW ARE IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
    1) IF YOUR BIOS UPDATE STILL FAILS, SOME OTHER PIECE IN WMI SUPPORT IS MISSING - IN MY CASE WAS THESE 2 SERVICES, BUT THERE'S REMOTE POSSIBILITY SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT BLOCK UPDATER.  DON'T WASTE TIME & CHOOSE "USB/BootDisk" options instead
    2) Once BIOS updater does its job, will ask to auto-restart - let it go on & complete, it will self-shutdown (click "Next" to skip 60-second timer), then do NOT turn it on manually!, wait - it'll turn on by itself in 15 seconds, let it boot into Windows, you're done!
    3) WARNING: close other apps before proceeding, be 100% sure your ACpower won't be interrupted or better yet - make sure battery is in/charged (so if ACpower accidentally disconnects, you're autoswitched onto battery) b/c power loss may result in severe damage to internal hardware.  In the old days it'd result in fatal damage, these days powerloss would still result in a major repair (ROM chip corruption).
    So to summarize: those 2 services I specified, are often responsible for whether HPQ/ROMpaq will or won't run.
    Other causes possible, but I've not witnessed; and if so - choose BootDisk option.

    Hello Ceramics.
    Your ProBook is an Enterprise model.  It would be a good idea to also post your question to the HP Business Boards as those forums deal specifically with that kind of product.  Here is a link.
    Have a great day!

  • Trying to reach Lenovo support for urgent hardware repairs; is anyone home?

    I have a warranty on my Thinkpad T530 that includes next-day, on-site support. I have been trying to contact Lenovo about getting my failing hard drive replaced (also need a USB port and DELETE key replacement), but I've been unable to get through.
    I don't have access to a phone right now, so I have been trying to place a support request online. Lenovo's chat support said no representatives were available. I've tried twice to submit an electronic support request through the IBM website, and both requests were mysteriously canceled.
    Can someone please help? Any support people on this forum? Thanks!
    Gentoo Linux/Windows 7 Home Premium on Lenovo Thinkpad T530

    Hello toiletresin,
    Has the issue with your ThinkPad T530 been resolved?
    If not, could you send me a private message including...
    Your first and last name
    Phone number where you can be contacted, if available
    Email address where you can be contacted
    Full address of where the machine is located (for onsite service)
    The Machine Type, Model, and Serial Number of your T530
    A complete description of the problem(s) to be resolved
    If you can send me this information, I will work to have our contact center process your service request and get someone out to repair your machine.
    I'm sorry it's taken this long for someone at Lenovo to respond to your post, but these forums are not typcially monitored by Lenovo personnel. They are intended for peer-to-peer support.

  • Why the lack of support for icloud, wi-fi sync, splashtop, etc. in 10.5???

    Does anyone know why there is a frustrating growing list of features that aren't supported in 10.5??
    Is there a legitimate technical limitation of 10.5 that prevents these services from working, or is it simply apple's passive-aggressive push to make me pay to upgrade to a newer OS?
    btw - it should be false advertising that icloud is "free with iOS5" because it's not free if you have iOS5 and 10.5, you have to PAY to upgrade to a new operating system even though 10.5 is only 2 or 3 years old. Windows STILL supports XP for almost everything, and these days PC users have better access to the full range of iOS5 features that involve interfacing with itunes than Mac 10.5 users...
    just sayin' - that's some serious bs...

    Post to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ if you are unhappy.  This is just a user to user forum.
    In the meantime, read this tip and find out if the features you desire are still available under 10.5:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2551
    If not, many other webhosts exist on http://www.comparewebhosts.com/ and the software Chronosync many of the same features, if not with as user friendly an interface.

  • Where is the Canada store support for Movies, TV Shows!?

    Really?! Its outrageous that I can't buy TV shows, Movies, or any of the extras that are on the American store because I live in Canada. Its ********. If there is any work around to this, please let me know. I tried making a separate apple ID but my credit card wouldn't go through because it was on my main Canadian account. I think its time for Apple to start stepping up and supporting the Canadian store more than it does.

    The availability of certain item in a certain store depends on the will of the copyright holder, it's not Apple's choice not to offer them.
    And in addition:
    In order to buy from a certain country's iTMS you do need -
    * either a CC with a billing address in that certain country.
    * or an address in that certain country plus a gift voucher/prepaid card issued by that certain iTMS.
    If you don't meet one of this conditions there is "no go".

  • Lightroom 5.5 support for 32bit images from merging HDR in Photoshop CC 2014?

    Why is it I can create a 32bit HDR image and make adjustments in ACR, but when I save it, Lightroom can't read it? Aren't they basically running the same engine? Is there a work around?

    Which file format do you saving your 32bit HDR image?
    From LR 4.1, Lightroom can read 32-bit floating-point images in TIFF and DNG file formats.

  • Beyond frustrated with the lack of support for this phone

    My title says it all...  I've had this phone since sometime in August, and at the time we signed up, we were "upgraded" from the freebie phones into three of these phones, one each for myself, my wife and our daughter.  These phones are slow, laggy and do not perform well, despite being powered by 1ghz processors.  http://gizmodo.com/5890956/the-full-list-of-verizon-phones-getting-ice-cream-sandwich - this article dated in MARCH says ICS for the Verizon Rhyme is coming, yet 9 months later we're still on the same version, which is extremely outdated software.  Verizon won't help us in upgrading to the Galaxy S3 without paying $650 per unit, and I'm not eligible for anything for a year and a half.  As a new customer, I feel VERY MUCH locked into a situation I don't like and I have no options to make it any better.  I can't get out of the phone making me unhappy...  the promised ICS update is lost in never never land... and it's forever and a day away before I'm eligible for an upgrade that's not gonna force me to take out a 2nd mortgage. 
    I've read questions here about this phone and it takes 7-20 days for Verizon to even respond, which points out just how interested they are in addressing the many angry customers with this lemon. 

    Yeah  I feel your pain!  I have had a rhyme for about 1 year and have had nothing but problems.  They traded the phone for me due to the problems, got a refurbished one which has proven to be no better than the one I had.  I have spent hours on the phone with verizon in attempts to fix things.  One time they even had to get a company person(phone manufactureer) on the line to help me.  Yes this is a very poor product with many many issues.  Verizon should really do something to help all us loyal verizon customers (I have been a customer since verizon was air touch) out.  UGH!!!

  • Whats the step by step for a hardware crash?

    okay,
    i've just had a pretty epic computer crash that managed to slag my external hard drive as well, meaning I lost my itunes library backup. I have my library on my ipod touch, but don't understand the best way to reconnect my old ipod touch to my newly rebuilt os without it wiping as I would really rather not lose my music in a sync. can anyone point me to the best discussions for this or give me any advice?
    Thank you so much,
    R

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
