Hi make,
Do you another another user login setup on your Mac?
If so, are you experiencing the same abnormalities within that user account?
I would also suggest setting up another user account through System Preferences > Users. That should give you an idea of whether or not it's an isolated problem.

After security update INTEL Macs network transfer speed slows

MBP C2D and iMac CD transfer speed between them is close to "b" speed after the update. I tried transfer to my G4 that has a G card and it was same speed for both INTEL Macs. Grabbed another G4 laptop with G card and the transfer speeds between those two were at "g" speeds. All 4 machines connected using Apple Express wireless router.
Changed AE router to 5.5 and higher multicast. No affect. Changed channels to 11 and others and back to Automatic, no change in speed.
Cleaned out cache on all INTEL Macs, same "b" speed. Despite all these adjustments the PB G4 wit the "g" cards continued to transfer at "g" speeds, whil the INTEL Macs are stuck at "b" speeds.
I suppose I can do Archive and Install on the MBP and not apply the latest security patch to see if that may be it. But I'm hoping someone has done this already and post their results. If not I'll try it in a bit.

Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

Hello!
a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
What´s wrong?
Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
thanks

Hello!
The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
thanks
sorry for my bad English

Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

Hi All,
Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware. I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
Before updating firmware
Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

Hi,
If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth. Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup. Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
Hope this could help
I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

Hi,
I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
But now I have following problems:
I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
The Radio app. is gone
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Iwan

It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.

Firmware Updates on Mac Mini Intel

I have a mac mini intel. Two firmware updates come up via Software Update:
- Mac mini SMC Firmware Update version 1.0
- Mac mini EFI Firmware Update version 1.1
I have tried to install both of these individually several times. Each time, after I double click on the icon in the Utilities folder I enter my password and choose "shut down". Each time, the system starts the process and never really shuts down. Instead, it hangs on my desktop screen. Eventually, I push the power button. Then, I hold the button down like the instructions say. There is a sound and then it reboots a second time and returns to the login.
The problem is that when I log back in, it says the update has not installed!
I'm using the original Mac Mini Intel (the higher cost version) and the OS is totally updated. I need to update the firmware so that my bluetooth headset will work properly.
Any suggestions?

I do not have a Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer, and I was not planning on getting one. The only task I cannot do is run the update for my Nokia N80.
I wonder if Nokia are planning to release a "over-the-air" update for this phone? It's a pain that the update process requires such particular software.
I believe v4 of the firmware is downloadable via OTA. It may be network/firmware dependant though. It does mean you'll have to pop along to the local Nokia shop for this update or follow the instructions above.
I have full End User experience of:
5510, 3210, 3310, 3510, 3510i, N80, N80IE, 7610, 2610, 1208 and current E90.

Trouble after firmware update (iMac Intel)

After I have updated my intelbased iMac I experience some problems I'm unable to resolve:
1) After each startup the firmware updater starts and tells me that the firmware successfully has been updated.
2) I'm unable to perfom the disc check in the HD-utility, this application stops examining the disk telling me a) that this program couldn't be performed due to a software error. At the same time the status shows that b) the disk has issues and needs to be repaired which isn't possible due to a).
Obviously I'm anuable to run the same firmware update once again, the program tells me that this update isn't needed. I tried to reset SMC (power off, disconnect everything, wait 15s, turn on again) and PRAM, no effect. I cleaned all caches using Onyx.
Any clues?
I appreciate all help.

Use the original Install disk that came with your iMac. Start up holding down the "C" key. Ignore the installation window and instead go to the menu at the top. Click on utilities and try repairing your hard drive with the disk utility program. . You can also in the same menu look at system profiler and verify what firmware version you have. It should say Boot ROM Version:IM41.0055.B03. If it doesn't you need to reinstall the firmware update. Also you can restart your iMac with the same disk holding down the "D" key for a built in hardware test. Make sure you remove all external devices besides your Apple branded keyboard and mouse or this test won't run. One more thing if I remember properly when you run the firmware update the update automatically shuts the Mac down. The instructions say after that to hold the power button down when are starting it up until the power light on the front flashes several times and the you can release it. Hope this helps

Intel Mini has problem with Mail/internet after firmware update (0.1)

Hello there.
I'm not sure, but I think my Intel Mini has gone bonkers after a firmware update (Mac mini-SMC-firmware-updater (1.0)
What happend is, that connecting to (both of) my two Gmail and Tiscali accounts is not working anymore. (no connection through gate 995)
I did not change anything in the accountsetup.
But now I notice that even my torrents (oops) can't connect anymore.
I think this all took place after the firmware update.
On Dutch sites I do not seem to get any useable answers, so I thought it be wise to go a bit more international.
Could anyone help me out on this one?
Cheers.
Marco

Wizzard,
Having the same problem here. After updating the firmware the wireless connection to the network is unstable. After rebooting the laptop most of the time I get "Low or no connectivity" message. Sometimes it connects and dies after a few minutes. And sometimes it connects and stays connected until shut down.
What do you mean by "u have to reset it for 30 seconds and then reconfigure it"? Do you mean you actually have to reset the router to default settings and reconfigure, or just power down and bring it back up?
Thanks,
Stas

Software after firmware updates

I replaced my first week 02 iMac i7 but while I had it here it ran an application named ActivInspire 3 nicely. My new week 06 iMac that had the firmware updates factory installed will not run the program. I have tried (twice) to download a new version and reinstalled but neither attempt changed the result. It just will not boot on the new machine. Strange. Everything else works fine of course. Any thoughts?

Your program might have an incompatibility with the changes Apple made to the graphic card firmware and display firmware. Here is what I suggest for troubleshooting:
1. Check the software publisher's website for updates or news about iMac i7 compatibility
2. Create a new user account with Administrator privileges on your iMac. Uninstall and reinstall the program from this account. Then try running the program.
3. Open Disk Utility and repair the permissions on your HD
4. Do a "Get Info" on the application. If it is a PowerPC program (check the "Kind" field), make sure the "Open using Rosetta" box is checked. If it is a Universal or Intel program, make sure the Rosetta box is UNchecked.

Sony minidv cameras and intel macbook stop talking after firmware update

i think there must be an issue with a driver conflict between sony's camcorders and the latest intel firmware update. three sony mini dv cameras fail to be recognized by final cut pro or imovie. i have no such issue with canon minidv cameras. any info on where to get an updated driver? sony doesn't seem to support anything other than microsoft systems. thanks in advance.

Try resetting the PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Oh and tell Sony the next time they tell you they don't support Mac that the following is true:
1. Their president came to Macworld 2004 to introduce new products for the Mac and a collaboration with Apple. I was there and saw it.
2. Their music is being sold by the iTunes Music Store
3. They have Apple to thank for iLink, as iLink is actually Firewire.
Suggest to them to reconsider their position. As Mac users won't support them if they won't support Mac users.

MacBook Pro Won't Boot after Firmware Update

So I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro which came in the mail yesterday. I removed the Apple-installed HD and swapped it out for a bigger, faster HD. I installed OS X from scratch, imported everything from my Time Machine backup during the Setup Assistant, and then started installing updates. Everything was running swimmingly until the last updates.
What happened is when I rebooted my MacBook Pro and logged in after a series of updates, I got presented with both a Bluetooth update and a Firmware update at the same time. Both required a restart so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone. I installed the Bluetooth update, and then when it asked to reset I installed the Firmware update instead. However, the firmware update didn't behave as advertised because instead of shutting the MacBook Pro completely down, it restarted and then started installing the firmware update.
Ever since the firmware update (which I think installed correctly but don't know how to verify), I cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Using the OS X install DVD I can view my firmware version using System Profiler, and the number it is reporting is MBP53.00A.B03.
I have tried booting in verbose mode to try and get a feel for the problem, and it eventually hangs on an infinite loop saying something about not being able to find something on disk0s2.
I also thought I would fix the problem by doing an Archive and Install, but it quit at the very beginning of installing with the error "unknown error".
Also I thought I would format the disk with Disk Utility and then try installing again, but Disk Utility reports that it in unable to unmount the volume.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-- Update --
Remember how I'm unable to unmount the drive? I force unmounted it and then used Disk Utility to repair the volume, but still no luck.
I think the key to the problem is this new HD I put in runs at 3 Gbps. I think I read somewhere that the new MacBook Pro's don't support that.
I think next I should try swapping out the new HD in my MacBook Pro with the one it originally came with. What do you think?

I, too, have a brand new MBP 15" that I put an Intel X25 in. At the 1.5 (Prior to Firmware Update) setting, it worked fine. I rant the Firmware Update, all looked fine, but the drive is no longer able to be seen.
Flash the PRAM, per other suggestions to no avail. Boot off of the DVD and disk utility nor Profiler sees the drive.
Replace the drive with the stock that came with the MBP (which I had never even used) and it works.
Put the Intel X25 into a Windows machine and it works fine. Reformatted it (in windows) and put it back into my MBP. Still not able to see it (from the Disk utility after booting off the DVD).
Intel's firmware for the drive says its up-to-date (new drive) and if I attempt to "re-run" the Mac Firmware Update, it says that the machine is already up-to-date.
Seems odd that it worked before an now it doesn't. Also seems odd that the X25 works in other machines. And that my MBP works just fine with the stock Hitachi 7200 320GB drive.
Ideas? Intel says to call Apple Support. Not sure what I can say to them.
