Should I update from SD23 to SD28 - Momentus XT

I realize there are numerous discussions regarding firmware updates and the Seagate Momentus XT but fearing my question would get lost among the others..I'm starting a new discussion on it here.  If it needs to be moved please do so but at least it will have the opportunity to be answered.
I am currently running the following:
MacBook Pro 13" i3 2.3ghz with OS X 10.7.2 Lion
Momentus XT 500gb with firmware - SD23
Model:  ST95005620AS
I've been running this______________^ since March 2011.
My question is simple.  Should I update the firmware to SD28?
The reason I'm so far behind is because I didn't realize there were updates.
Thank you in advance,
Phil

Talked to Seagate representative:
He addressed my question without any problem and directed me to the following link which identifies whether or not your hard drive has an update available.
http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=207931&NewLan g=en
There is a link within this webpage that checks your drive by model # and** serial #.  To those wishing to upgrade the firmware..check first.

  • Should i update from ios 7.0.1 to ios 7.0.4 on my iphone 5C?

    Should i update from ios 7.0.1 to ios 7.0.4 on my iphone 5C?

  • Should I update from ios 7.0.3 to ios 7.1.1?

    I have a new iPod touch 5th gen I it has ios 7.0.3. I got this one to replace the last one that ios 7.1 update broke. My question is should I update to 7.1.1? I had 3 iPods die because of ios 7.1.

    Well I would agree with you but this is my fourth ipod since ios 7.1 came out. I had a discussion going about the whole thing about a month ago. I would update to ios 7.1 and get halfway through (about the 25 - 30 g spot) installing my apps again and it would constantly reset. I tried restoring, downloading apps through iTunes and just on my ipod. I had tried different apps. I also tried restoring from back up. Everything I tried ended with my iPods continually resetting and that's all. I had reinstalled iTunes too.
    So you see why I'm very hesitant to try. Do you know of any problems people have had with the ipod resetting itself over and over again with the ios 7.1.1 update?

  • Should I update from IOS 6.0?

    I have an iPad Mini (WiFi only version) still running IOS 6.0 with no problems.  Should I update to 6.1.3?  I must admit that reports of problems after each update has me hesitant to do so.
    Advice is greatly appreciated.

    I have 6.1.3 on my iPad mini wi-fi only and have no problems.

    how many people are going to report that the device and ios are working like they should?  Very few, if any at all.  People only write when they have a problem.

  • Should I update from itunes 6?

    Hi. I have been wondering if it is a good idea to update my iTunes from a 6 to a 7. I dont really know what iTunes 7 does to your songs and podcasts, but I see at least one person is trying to change back to their original iTunes! I haven't seen anything really good about switching to a 7, so is sticking with a 6 a good idea?
    And while I'm at it, I'll just ask in general, is the automatic update function on the imac good to use? I hesitate to upgrade anything automatically, and wonder what the more experienced people think...
    thanks.

    You probably won't experience any issues installing iTunes 7 on your computer; these boards are meant for people who have problems or questions, which will make the probability that you will experience a problem seem like it is much larger than it actually is. If you want to be able to revert in case you do run into problems, back up the existing iTunes library, application, and installer dmg if possible prior to the update.

  • Should I update from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X Mavericks?

    I have a MacBook (NOT a Pro) 2008 nickelback. Last time I updated I had a wifi issue and had to reboot computer entirely and downgrade it at te apple store

    First, make a cloned backup to an external drive. Then upgrade. If there's a problem then you can easily restore the backup. Before backing up do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Should I update from Safari 505 to 5.1

    I know Safari 5.1 changed a few things, including the way cookies, etc are handled.  Is there a pressing need to update?

    from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070 - maybe some security too, I forget. Disabling cookies completely seems not to work at all - apple know of it. It's  easy to revert back, anyway.
    This update contains new features including:
    Reading List: Easily add webpages and links to your Reading List to browse when you have time.
    New Process Architecture: Safari has been re-engineered for improved stability and responsiveness.
    Resume: In the General pane of Safari preferences, you can now choose to launch Safari with the windows from your last browsing session.
    Better Privacy: A new Privacy pane in Safari preferences makes it easy to remove data that websites can leave on your system.
    Other improvements include:
    Private AutoFill: Safari lets you fill out forms quickly while keeping your personal information private.
    Find Option: When you use Find, you can choose whether you want to search for text that contains or starts with the text that you type in the search field.
    Drag-and-drop Downloads: You can drag items out of the Downloads window in Safari, so you can easily place downloaded files on the Desktop.
    Advanced Web Technologies: Safari introduces support for full-screen webpages, media caching with the HTML5 application cache, MathML, Web Open Font Format, CSS3 Auto-hyphenation, CSS3 Vertical Text, CSS3 Text Emphasis, Window.onError, and Formatted XML files.
    New Extension APIs: Developers can take advantage of new Safari Extension support for popovers, menus, new event classes, and interaction with Reader.

  • Should I update from 1st generation to new Time Capsule?

    I've had a Time Capsule since they were introduced and while it's worked OK, I'm wondering if the benefits of the new versions are sufficient to get a new one?  Does anyone have the experience of going from Generation 1 to 4 of the Time Capsule?
    Thanks in advance for your opinion.

    If you still have a working gen1 consider yourself LUCKY.. !!
    It can and will die suddenly and without warning.
    The new generation is better in terms of reliability.. but still a flawed design. It has a much bigger disk.. that can help since new computers have much bigger disks. The wireless is somewhat improved but not enough to go and buy a new one.
    Work out your needs. There are several alternatives..
    An airport extreme is a far more reliable device and you can plug a USB hard disk into it.
    You can use a totally non Apple solution.. wireless router and NAS.. that will have huge speed advantages by wired connection. No big improvement via wireless.

  • It looks like updating Firefox causes problems with Macs. Should I update from 4.0.1 if it works? I have a Macbook Pro and have upgraded to Lion.

    I've tried to update FF since I had Snow Leopard and it just kept spinning and couldn't connect. Now I see that maybe there was a good reason.

  • No revenue update from sales order

    Hi
    I have created SO with account assignment for a WBS billing element. In config I have make the indicator on for revenue value should automatically  update from sales order.
    But neither the revenue from sales order is updating in any of my PS report nor the actual revenue too after billing cycle.
    Does it need some more customisation checking.Cannot find any solution from earlier similar threads.
    Zinni

    To analyze the error, proceed as follows:
    1. Is an account displayed in the sales and distribution document in the condition detail screen (for example, condition PR00) ? Is there a cost element in this account and are you allowed to post sales revenue to it? (cost element category) If the answer is yes, then proceed to 5. If no, then proceed to 2.
    2. Check the relevancy for billing of the sales and distribution document item in Customizing (-> Sales and distribution -> Sales -> Sales documents -> Sales document item -> Define item types).  If 'Not relevant for billing' is entered, correct this.  This will probably clear the error. If 'I' (according to billing plan) is entered, the system only updates sales revenues if billing plan dates exist in the sales document.
    3. Check in Customizing that a billing type is assigned to your sales document type (-> Sales and distribution -> Sales -> Sales documents -> Sales document header -> Define sales document types). The billing type can be found in the 'Billing document' block. The relevant billing type depends on the defined relevancy for billing (see point 2). If no billing type is entered, enter one.  This will probably clear the error.
    4. Check in Customizing that an account determination procedure is assigned to the billing type determined in step 3 (-> Sales and distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Define billing types). If no account determination procedure is entered, enter one. This will probably clear the error. If an account determination procedure has already been assigned, the error is probably caused by an incorrect structure of this plan. Check the plan.
    5. You will probably not be able to correct this error yourself. However, you can provide some information beforehand. Enter parameter MCL in your user master record and valuate it with 'X' (upper case) (-> System -> User profile -> User parameters). You activate an user-specific TRACE function this way.
    6. Change, for example, the pricing date or item value in the quotation or sales order and save the change.
    7. Execute Transaction MC30 for your user ID (/NMC30). You now see a list of all data structures that were set up for the Logistics Information System (LIS) in step 6. Check whether structure S008 is contained in this list. This information is required to further analyze the error.
    8. If structure S008 is contained in the MC30 log, call Transaction SA38, program name RKPSSHOW, -> Execute (F8), enter the number of the affected sales and distribution document and press -> Execute (F8) again. The output list (or the fact that no list is generated) is also needed for analysing the error further.

  • Should I Update By Bios To The Newest?

    Should i update from 1.52 to 1.9 i think it is now?
    Any reason not too?

    If your system is stable and everything works then i can't see the point of updating bios, this will only fix known issues that if you don't have any off these issues then why risk a bad flash - dead mobo. But if you will gain from bios flashing then go for it, I would recommend going to 1.9 as this is alot more stable than any earlier bios.

  • Should I update to the newest iPhoto from Mavericks, before installing Yosemite?

    I have a 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 16 GB memory (1607 MHz DDR3), and a 1 TB Samsung SSD hard drive.  I have Mavericks 10.9.5 on it, and iPhoto 8.1.2 (iPhoto '09).  I'm about to update to Yosemite, but I've read about people having problems with iPhoto and iPhoto Library after the update.  Should I update to the newest version of iPhoto before updating to Yosemite?  Is there anything else I should know about installing these updates?

    I'm puzzled about why there aren't more questions like mine ("No similar content found")
    Two possibilities there: one is that you've phrased the question in a way different from other posters with the same issue or not very many people have the issue.
    and why Apple hasn't put more info/help files out there about the havoc that can be wrought upon iPhoto libraries if app and system software updates are not done in the correct order.
    I'm really not sure what you're referring to here. You can't update to iPhoto 9.6 unless you're already on 10.10. There simply is no way to do it in the 'wrong order'. And there is no evidence that the order of updating makes a whit of difference to a Library anyway. You may have read about people having problems after an update - read more. There are always people who have issues after updates - updates of any app on any OS. The reasons can vary widely - everything from pre-existing issues on the host machine, faulty download, faulty installer, minor directory and disk damage. So, I really would not read too much into it.

  • Should I update iPhone 5s from iOS 7.1.2 to 8.1?

    I have been holding off on updating my iPhone 5s which is currently running iOS 7.1.2. Now that 8.1 has been released, should I update?
    I have seen recommendations for those to update from earlier versions of iOS 8 but couldn't find anything for those who are still on iOS 7.
    Thanks for any input.

    No, the iPhone 4 can only go up to iOS 7.1.2.
