Should I update my drivers and software I see new drivers in late 2012..i have never updated

should i update my bios, drivers etc. my computer is 3+ years old and I have never done any updating from HP

You should only update your BIOS, if there is specific feature that has been added or fixed that you need support for. Flashing the BIOS is risky and should only be done when absolutely necessary.
As far as the drivers are concerned, update them if they fix an issue you are experiencing or provide a new feature you want/need. Updating driver is much less less risky and easier to fix if needed.
Please send KUDOs

Hardware and Software inventory data shows blank in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I have this issue. When i try to view the inventory data for hardware and software it shows blank data. Below is the screenshot of that. Mine is a lab setup and i have only 2 clients configured.
I am using the default client settings which comes with priority of 10000. I altered the inventory setting to pull .dll and .exe files with changing the interval. But still the same issue. I analysed the InventoryAgent.log and found the below error on both
the clients.
Inventory: 1 Collection Task(s) failed.
InventoryVersionNumber for '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}' not found.
CInvState::CheckInventoryAgentConfig: Get() failed: 80041002
Can any one please help.

Hi Garth,
A reboot just fixed the issue on that system in which the options are not coming to run the setup manually.
As i had hibernated the VM's and the server in which those options were not coming is the physical box hosting the VM's (SCCM server and one more client). The physical box is also acting as a client and the SQL server holding the SCCM Database.
Now things which need to be troubleshooted are:
1. Why is it Hardware inventory report appearing after running the setup manually and not appearing automatically.
2. The software inventory report is not appearing at all even after it is being run manually.
Below is the screen shot of the default client settings policy i am using.
Software inventory:
Hardware inventory:
My LAB setup is as follows:
SCCMSVR.labtest.com - Is the SCCM server and Fail back status point, Asset intellegence sync
point and etc.
Server.labtest.com - Is the Domain controller, SQL server
SCCMTEST.labtest.com - A testing machine to push the client and to deploy patches in it.
Site code is LAB
Grath - What do you suggest is the next Plan of action which you suggest ?

System wakes up automatically several times during sleep (logs says RTC Alarm) and improperly Ejects external HD. [MBPro Late 2012 + OSX Yosemite]

Hi there,
Background:
the main issue is that after system wake-up I find often several notification messages about my external drive not being properly ejected.
This seems to be a common issue for many Yosemite users, some say disabling Spotlight indexing for that volume solves the problem, but this is not my case. That's why I'm creating another thread.
Multiple ejects:
Looking at system logs it comes out my MacBookPro with Yosemite when put in standby is actually waking up several times every approx 90 minutes to do something.
(MBP Late 2012: not a new MBP with PowerNap and thus cannot use nor disable it)
Logs are like this:
20/02/15 03:21:13,000 kernel[0]: Wake reason: RTC (Alarm)
20/02/15 03:21:13,000 kernel[0]: RTC: Maintenance 2015/2/20 02:21:13, sleep 2015/2/20 00:33:19

Questions:
- What is WAKE REASON - RTC (ALARM) ? - Could it be linked to Auto Time&Date Setting?
- Why disk3s2 is not present?
Disk is badly ejected only when connected through USB hub. When left connected to MBP USB port seems to behave fine.
Before Yosemite I've never had any problem with external HD connected to the hub.

I believe this is ready for submission for the Time Machine forum.
As noted, it does not cover diagnosis and correction of specific problems or errors, as that would seem to be better handled separately.
It also doesn't cover anything about Time Capsule, for the very good reason that I'm not familiar with them. If someone wants to draft a separate post for it, or items to add/update here, that would be great!
Thanks very much.

As time goes by (months or years), keep your eyes on how long Microsoft continues to support Office 2011 for Mac. Eventually you should consider Office 365 or Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

Suddenly today both my iphone and ipad will not connect to wifi.. I have never had any problems before. Please help. Should I reset all my settings? Should I reset network settings? What should I do?

Please help!

With any wi-fi network or with your wi-fi network?
If your wi-fi network, try resetting the wireless router and modem. Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait a few minutes followed by re-connecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before re-connecting the wireless router to the power source and allow it to reset with the modem before trying again.

Hi, I recently came back from 3 months of not using my imac and found it to be exceedingly slow (a problem i have never had before (eg i cant get through playing a song on itunes without it pausing over 10 times for intervals of ~5 seconds.

Please read subject first then continue with this text:
Then I tried to connect my IPAD and IPHONE and neither would update because it couldnt find the file or something and then i couldnt even restore.
The next day itunes was gone completely: "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)"
dAnd then the next day ie today there is NO DOCK, NO BACKGROUND and NO DESKTOP ICONS! I had to open safari from the top bar that was only there because I have one random application called Garmin ANT that remained open (i never use this application, its a running computer watch thing)
Thank you so much for any help you can provide
PS Do i have a virus?
I didnt think macs could get viruses?
How do i back up my computer if i cant open finder?
Thanks again
PPS my computer is updated as far as i can tell and achieve.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Can I clone my mac pro 4.1 os 10.6.8 and use it in a macbook pro late 2012(no retina)?

I'm a music producer and work most of the time on a mac Pro 4.1 quad core intel Xeon, Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I just purchased a Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2012) OS X 10.9.3 and my idea was to clone the Mac Pro i use for work and put it on the Macbook so i'd be able to work on the go if needed(same softwares installed,same authorizations, no need to do upgrades, everything working smoothly).
I cloned the Mac Pro HD with ccc and mounted it on the macbook, but it won't boot (the hd was cloned properly cause it boots on the mac pro).
I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just not possible anymore..a friend of mine did the same exact thing on a macbook pro mid 2011(from Mac Pro 4.1) and it worked without any problem..
Thanks in advance

As you know, there is no 10.6.8 disk, but one can clone 10.6.8 into a late 2011 MBP (from an external HDD). Niel mentions a 2012 model, you are the one who speaks of 2011 MBPs. That is why I directed the comment to you.

Should i get the current MacBook Pro or the new design MacBook pro 2012?

Dear all,
GImme some opinions which to choose? Should i wait for the supposedly new design MacBook Pro? or get the current models that hae pretty good specs? I'm doing college at the moment and my current laptop is 4yrs old in need of a new one and hopefully get the 17" MBP coz the specs seem amazing. I'm doing graphics and multimedia so i would need a laptop that can handle all those stuff and be fast. So gimme some ideas what you think abt the current MBP and the soon to come new models? which is something pretty doubtful.

Hold off the buying. The current unibody macs are the last of the generation. A geenration that's in it's 4th year.
You might want to consider upgrading your current hard drive only to an SSD if your mac supports it. You can then move this over to your new mac. That's what I have done, and the speed difference of an SSD makes it feel like a new machine.
I would also suggest you buy a 15" and not a 17" save your money. The 17 is loking carrying a surfboard around.
