SMC 1.0 Install Prob

On my MBP, the Apple System Profiler is showing SMC verion 1.2f7. What version does the 1.0 installer "install"? The problem I'm having is that the software, downloaded via SW update and directly from the downloads page will not install. The MBP will restart and won't install the firmware.
Is anyone else having this problem? What about running this in conjunction with boot camp?
I've done the traditional permissions repair and single user mode to do a file system check. Both are fine. The MBP is running 10.4.6.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive

  • I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

    I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
    When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
    I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
    Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

    Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured.  I'm stumped.  10.8.1 maybe.

  • How to tell if SMC firmware is installed properly...

    Hi
    I live a bit far from my Apple Store so I thought I'd ask on the forum before I did the whole Genius Bar - back- and - forth trip.
    I recently had my logic board replaced along with a rattling fan.
    After which i found my MBP (2.16 core duo from last july) to run much quieter and cooler. I noticed that my fans came on more often and heard them come on.
    Everything seemed fine. Then I had my bottom casing replaced (because of a scratch I found after having my logic board replaced -- which i wasn't too happy about but AppleCare helped me out).
    After picking up my MBP again. It seems like the fans dont come on as often anymore and the temperatures are as high as it was before i got my logic board replaced--but i don't hear a noise.
    Would anyone know if there is a way to check if the SMC firmware update is properly installed? I am wondering why the fans dont come on as often . I've been using SMC fan control lately which helps but I would rather my MBP control its own temperature without me having to adjust the fan speeds. It woudl be most helpful when running programs in Windows XP bootcamp mode.
    Any advice would be great thanks.
    Love O.

    If it helps to know the fan speed, you might try Hardware monitor: http://www.bresink.de/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
    The fans could be running at low speeds, in which case it's very soft. To really hear it, you can add load, say by opening a terminal and running
    yes > /dev/null
    That should use up CPU, raise temperature, increase fan speed and you should be able to hear it. If the max temperature is much higher than before or the fans really don't get switched on, then I would talk to Apple.

  • Question about smc fancontrol after installing Leopard... please help

    hi,, i recently had my macbook pro a clean install leopard,.. everything is going fine afterwards until i installed smc fancontrol, smc fancontrol is working fine, but my problem is, i forgot to set the default fan speed on the smc fancontrol which is 2000rpm before i did the clean install, the fan speed was 2500rpm when i clean installed leopard, forgetting to set the default 2000 rpm back,. and now after i installed leopard, and then i installed back the smc fancontrol, the default now is 2500rpm! i cannot set it back to the default, which is 2000rpm, when i tried smc fancontrol keeps telling me that it FELL SHORT OF MINIMUM, which it thinks the default rpm is 2500, how can i get it back to the real default rpm of macbook pro which is 2000rpm? i'm afraid that constantly running my macbook pro forever to 2500rpm will cause the wear and tear of my macbook pro's fans , please help me, i really don't know what i'll do here....

    hi, thanks, btw, what would i look for in the activity monitor after i closed the smc fancontrol?
    Check all your processes under the CPU tab. They should all be very low at idle--like right after you boot. If you have some process running like 30% for example, that could cause the fans to run faster.
    should i check in the activity monitor if the smcfancontrol still runs after i closed it? i
    It shouldn't show up in their after you close it.

  • OS install probs

    hiho!
    i have a prob.
    when i want to install Win XP Professional my computer hangs always after the screen where it says "press F6 for RAID / SCSI controllers"
    but when i install win98 my compi works without any problems.
    i don't know what i have to do..(is it the harddisk controller?? - i have changed 5 different controllers, but always the same: compi hangs :( )
    AMD Athlon XP2400+
    512 MB DDR RAM ( Infineon - PC2700 )
    GF4 Ti-4200 ( Leadtek )
    K7N2-L nForce2 Mainboard
    30GB Harddisk
    PSU 400W ( 28-35A )
    100 Mbit Network Card
    Floppy and 2 CD Rom

    Hi Majo,
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I have changed 5 different controllers" do you mean you've changed the Mobo 5 times or are you using a PCI RAID card with your HD.
    If you are using a PCI RAID card then you must install the drivers when XP asks for you to setup RAID/SCSI.
    I Had similar probs with my K7N420D pro. I narrowed it down to one of two things:
    1. On board Ethernet - XP didn't like the fact that I was plugged into an active cable modem whilst installing (XP).
    2. PCI RAID Controller - XP didn't like this either and I had to remove it whilst installing XP - installed the card after succesful XP install.
    BTW, I have a dual boot system and had no such difficulties with installing Windows ME.
    May or may not help you - just a thought.

  • Itunes 5: crashes my system when i import cd; install prob.

    I installed itunes 5 and it completed installation but at the end a windows error saying it crashed came up, but itunes still installed and could open when i rebooted. i don't have the driver related to virus protection mentioned in another post.
    then i tried to import a cd, four times. the first time, it froze my system and i had to reset the whole thing. the second time, it did the same thing. and the third and fourth times, it rebooted my computer without warning. my system is otherwise very stable. i'm running xp pro, with all the major updates.
    i'm kinda po'd. i would have stayed with the last version if i had known.

    hi David!
    The common denominator for me at least is that QT7 was part of iTunes 5.0.1 and is now paired with 4.9.
    that's interesting. if nothing else works, we can try rolling you back to QT 6.5.2 to see if that helps matters.
    let's have a look at your error logs.
    right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click on your event viewer.
    we're looking in your System and Application logs for any error/warning events that are occurring at the time of any failed imports. (it would be particularly interesting also if you could also determine if any suspicious events
    b weren't
    happening at the time of successful imports prior to the QT 7 install.)
    if you find suspicious-looking types of event, click on an example to bring up a small window. note down the
    b Source, Event ID and Description
    of the event, and report back with your findings.
    love, b

  • ITunes 10 on Windows install prob solved

    After a very frustrating experience trying to uninstall/reinstall iTunes 10 on a Vista machine using Norton, my difficulties were actually resolved by bypassing a Netgear wireless router.
    I was repeatedly getting "invalid signature" upon downloading the iTunesSetup.exe regardless of firewalls/Norton being enabled/disabled.
    I simply connected to my cable modem directly to the machine and re-established a connection.
    Ran the exe as administrator and everything installed fine.
    I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same frustration, and provides a possible solution.

    Glad you found that!
    Yes, that solution (to bypass wireless router and connect directly to a cable modem) has been posted many times over the past year.
    Some sort of setting in the router is letting the file download enough to be considered "complete", but obviously something is not downloading correctly, or the error message wouldn't occur.
    Nobody has ever posted back if updating Netgear drivers or fiddling with MTU settings fixes this.

  • Install probs: 9.2.0 w. RH Linux 8.0

    My installer hangs on the optional tools page and, ultimately the standard database I'm asking the installer to create does not get created.

    Hi Suneet,
    was there a previous installation of Oracle product in that system by a diff user. In that case, the prev user would have created the oraInventory directory and hence you are facing problems writing into that.
    Delete the following files and try starting the installer.
    /etc/oraInst.loc /etc/oratab

  • PREMIERE 10 INSTALL PROBS

    I purchased an Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 / Premiere Elements 10 package.  Elements 10 went flawlessly with Disc 3 (Mac OS 10.7.4).  Upon attempting Premiere 10, I have, three times, achieved 50% install and then I get the following error :
    I have verified, repaired disk permissions, re-booted, cleared all running apps but NO GO.  What is the deal.  What can I do? 

    Your error did not post can you please click on the insert image option, it is picture of a camera, and select the image you are trying to display.  Also I would recommend running the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to review your installation logs.

  • E61i Application install probs

    I recently bought the e61i. I updated the firmware to 2.0633.65.01 which of course meant i had to update the blackberry software to work on phone. Blackberry works fine. only problem is everytime i have to re-start phone, it hangs for a while trying to install an application. Error message says that cannot an application and to check on App Manager. When i check there it says that "Launcher_BB_7172_PA.sis Not installed". I assume that this is the preinstalled BB which is no longer used by phone. is this correct? App manager will not let me remove it cos "Not Installed" i guess. can anyone help?

    Update. I got around to making new disks from my saved images. Lucky I copied the originals. I moved the images to my MacBook Pro, just because I wanted to give my DVD drive a workout. I know my DVD drive is working fine because I just reinstalled MS Office X 2003, original Disk and it installed perfectly. I took a fresh Maxell CD-R and slipped it into the drive. The Drive spit it out without mounting. I tried a second, same issue. I then took the disks to my Power Mac. It still has the original Super Drive plus a second much newer Super Drive. The disks mounted perfectly on both drives. Leopard 10.5.8. My MacBook Pro is using SL 10.6.5. I made two new CD's on the Power Mac from the images. I then slipped the disks into the MacBook Pro and they mounted perfectly. I know my copies of the original disks were pre Leopard, possibly Panther. I'm puzzled once again about the quirky nature of my Macbook Pro's Super Drive in not recognizing the two fresh Maxell CD's Any thoughts? Should I be using RW disks and reformatting?

  • Oracle 9ias install probs

    do i need to install oracle database before installing oracle 9ias enterprise edition.

    Yes you do. You need to install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition. The database you create needs to be running in order for the 9iAS installation to work. The database tablespace needs to be at least 150 MB.

  • 7.2 install probs

    I am trying to install 7.2 on my powerbook. Apple just sent me these disks because I am waiting for my macpro to arrive. When I try to install on my powerbook the first disk workes ok but when it asks for the content disk I put it in and it just spits it back out. I quit the install and tried to reinstall still the same.

    Hi there, **** - than the disc must be f**d - nothing you can do about it. You could install Logic without the content disc (additional Apple loops and stuff), you have most of the stuff in your library if you were using 7.1 before. Check the install options...
