Sony's FDR-AX100 and GoPro firmware updates...

Hi,
Firmware updates are optional, not necessary. Though it's for the best to keep updating your device whenever there's an update available. 
As for the 'manual' part. You can choose whether you download your updates manually, or let the HP Support find them for you. In the end, it doesn't matter. You can always choose not to download an update.
I rather prefer to download them myself, because in my opinion the HP support doesn't do that of a good job, especially when you need to update your network driver and in doing so, you could erase the driver without reinstalling, and then what?
Search for updates for your device on the site of the manufacturer, don't trust the so called 'automatic driver updater'- programs in order not to download any virusses.
I hope this could've solved your 'problem', because it's a long time ago since you posted your question!
Cheers,
Tom

  • Downloaded and ran firmware update, NanoPlus won't power

    Downloaded and ran firmware update ZENNanoPlus_PCFW_L6__4_03.exe. Device will now not power on (brand new battery). Tired to reinstall firmware and?receive "A device has been detected in recovery mode and is being initialzed". Immediate receive error "Unable to write firmware file data." I do get the Windows event sound indicating the device is connected immediately followed by the disconnected event sound. This happens every minute or so if I leave the player connected to the USB cable. I have tried the recovery tool and it says it recongnizes my player in recovery mode but then I get the same error "Unable to write firmware file data."? HELP!? The player will not power on and is useless at this point.

  • Anyone NOT having problems with ITunes 8 and latest firmware update???

    I have really been put off updating to ITunes 8. The firmware update appears to be doing well. Is there anyone that uses a MacBook like myself who have had absolutely NO problems with new Itunes and firmware update? Answers on the back of a £50 note....

    Not having issues now that I have updated all i(hardware) firmware to version 2.1, two phones and an iPod Touch, all work fine (So Far) (knocking on wood). As far as iTunes goes I have mixed feelings. It's a bit faster and more stable, however they removed the "Burn CD" ability from the software. That blows a bit as I would make CD's from some of my play lists to play in the car. Yes I can dock my devices in the car, but as a matter of convenience it's easier to fire up the CD when your in a rush.

  • TS3499 2007MBP, L-shaped adapter, and a firmware update that didn't work.

    My replacement L-shaped adapter worked for a day on my 2007 MacBook Pro, then stopped abruptly. I've tried the SMC reset as well as the firmware update. When I tried the latter, I received an alert that my computer does not need the update.
    Please help me! This is driving me crazy. The only answer I can get online is to install the firmware update, but it refuses to install. I'm assuming that means I already have the update. What's the next step for someone in my situation?
    I appreciate any help you can give me.

    Were you ever able to get a resolution to this? I have an 2007 MBP 17" and bought a new adapter that stopped working after 2 weeks. I bought a brand new one today, it charged the battery to about 90% and then went dead. Now the LEDs won't turn on and it will not charge or power the computer. I think the issue is with the laptop but have no idea what it could be. Has anyone heard of this before or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot/fix this? I've checked the SMC firmware to make sure it is up to date, i've reset the SMC. i've left the adapters unplugged for a few hours....nothing has worked. Please help...

  • Mavericks upgrade and Thunderbolt firmware update?

    Hi Guys,
    last week I installed mavericks to an external hard drive and am currently using my early 2011 MBP as a dual boot using Lion and Mavericks. The main reason is because my audio software is no longer being updated in Lion.
    My next purchase once I start using Mav full time, will either be a belkin thunderbolt dock or the akitio thunder dock. So I can run my hard drives, tv etc from the thunderbolt port.
    Problem is, I'm unsure if I can update my thunderbolt port in my machine, and both docks will only run on thunderbolt two.
    in about this mac my information is this:
    Model Identifier:     MacBookPro8,2
    Boot ROM Version:     MBP81.0047.B27
    SMC Version (system):     1.69f4
    If I install the firmware updates here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    will I be able to update the firmware for my thunderbolt port from
    Firmware Version:     22.1
    Port Micro Firmware Version:     2.0.7
    to whatever the latest one is, because I saw a post saying the latest frimware version is 25.1
    any advice/ideas?
    Cheers Iain.

    I emailed Akitio and got this reply.
    "The AKiTiO Thunder Dock is using Thunderbolt 1 but it's compatible with  both Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2, so you can use it on earlier  machines as well as the latest Thunderbolt 2 machines. However, the  minimum system requirement is Mac OS X 10.9, so you will need to use  Mavericks.
    Regarding the EFI and SMC firmware, it's good to use the latest version  and we usually recommend to update it as part of our troubleshooting  process. The page you provided is the one I would have suggested too, so  you can follow the links there and update your machine.
    Keep in mind that this will not upgrade your Thunderbolt port as you put it, it only updates the firmware of your system."

  • "Wake from sleep" grayed out and BT firmware updater won't work

    I've read a number of postings related to ways to correct the grayed out "wake from sleep" option in the Bluetooth prefs pannel, which is a problem I'm having since switching to a Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The problem I seem to be having is that the Firmware 1.2 updater for the DBT-120 Bluetooth adapter will run, but won't seem to actually flash my adapter (i.e., it won't actually update the device). It is H/W ver: B4, and is plugged directly into a USB port on the back of my fairly new G5 tower, so it seems like it should work.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Dual 2 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    That did the trick! My old G4 tower (Yikes!) was able to flash the BT adapter with the firmware update without a problem, even though my G5 was unable to ever finish the process. Once I plugged the updated adapter into the G5 the "Wake from Sleep" option was available and already selected.
    Thanks so much for the tip-- I can finally put this question (and problem) to rest.

  • Help trying to download and install firmware updater 1.0.2

    When I click on Apple's link to download and install the latest firmware updater, this is the message that I get. Look at the link, and let me know where I can find the latest firmware updater for the headset to work. Thanks!

    Okay. I uninstalled AIR, downloaded the current version and re-installed. I thought maybe a full install with the current version would help. CS4 setup seems to be working until it gets stuck at 'installing Adobe AIR.' I uninstalled AIR again and let CS4 setup install it but it still dies when it tries to do so. When it gets stuck, It will not let me CANCEL, instead I have to 'force quit' -- even thoght it doesn't show up as crashed. One great thhing -- I no longer have the big bang game popping up.
    Thank you so much for you answer, One step @ at time...

  • 16x DVD-R Media and 106D Firmware Update??

    I just picked up some Memorex 16x DVD-R discs and was wondering if there is a firmware update needed for the G5 Superdrive.
    I checked for firmware updates here and could not find anything, but as I have found out in the past, this does not mean there isn't one.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gary

    Thanks for the reply Chris.
    Just cause we're level 3 or 4 doesn't necessarily mean we know what we're talking about.
    Ah, but the alter I have erected for level 3 & 4 promises all prayers are heard, if not answered....
    I haven't tried the 16x media yet, but like 4x media and lower becoming extinct since the introduction of 8x, I am sure 16x media will dominate within a couple months. As such, I just wanted to make sure the new media was not going to frag my 4x Super drive.
    I checked my drive through System Profiler and got the following:
    Model:     PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D
    Revision:     A606
    Serial Number:     CHDL009866WL
    Detachable Drive:     No
    Protocol:     ATAPI
    Unit Number:     0
    Socket Type:     Internal
    I checked out the latest update link you provided, but it does not say what the revision is, so I don't know if I have the most resent. Although I haven't had any issues the 4x Superdrive using 8x, I have had several failures with the 8x burner in a Pioneer 8x DVD Recorder set top unit.... same vender so I anticipate possible problems.
    Anyway, thanks for the response.

  • D-Link and Bluetooth Firmware update

    I am running 10.4.6 on a dual 2.7GHz G5. I have no built in Bluetooth so rely on a D-Link DBT-120 (rev4). I have tried three times unsuccessfully to apply the 1.2 BluetoothFWUpdate to allow use of the bluetooth keyboard in single user mode.
    The updater looks for a device, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl, then again it looks for a device to update, prepares to update, the candy bars in the progress bar twirl and then nothing for a very long time. 2 hours last time. When I try to quit, I'm told the device has not been updated.
    Profiler tells me
    Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 1.7.3f4
    Hardware Settings:
    Address: 00-11-95-0e-17-2d
    Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio
    Firmware Version: 1.525 (1.525)
    Has anybody had the same problem and if so, how did you overcome it?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Allan, AZTrailBlazer, and gordon —
    Sorry to hear that you've joined the company of many who've experienced this frustration. But glad to hear that you succeeded, gordon.
    You're correct, Allan: the firmware version reported for your Mac needs updating. For your configuration, expect to see 2.xxxx or 3.xxxx after the updater has run successfully. Your software version reflects the most up-to-date (updated via the OS X 10.4.6 Combo updater).
    Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 [11/23/04] is the correct package. It is compatible with all versions of Mac OS X subsequent to OS X 10.3.6 — for PPC Macs with Bluetooth chips (internal or in an adapter) that preceded the new Bluetooth 2.0+EDR specification. (There's another version available for folks running 10.3.6.) Also, as the brief description notes, "The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, iBooks, and eMacs."
    AZTrailBlazer, I believe that what you're recalling —  "It seems that Apple has removed a page with the 10.4.3 version of the firware updater, but information on this topic for Tiger users is scarce" —— was related to a version of this updater that was made available last Winter via Software Update. Imho, firmware updates of any kind are best applied from their "stand-alone" download version — because their installation may require following special instructions. That's the case here — and the instructions have proven confusing for many people. (Please send feedback if you agree.)
    I have worked with a lot of folks in this forum to help figure out how they can apply this firmware update effectively — so I'll cite a few threads that I hope will help you, too.  Here is a recent example. ( A ) and ( B ) are examples where several participants provided feedback after succeeding. ( C ) is a recent case involving a D-Link DBT-120 adapter in which jump (the individual posting) explained some fine points that s/he thought might be helpful to others.
    If you do a search — e.g., for [ +("D-Link" OR "DBT-120") +firmware +(update OR updater) ] in the Other Bluetooth Devices forum with results restricted to Alexander Traud — you'll find numerous cases where he has explained this for DBT-120 adapter users who want to utilize a Bluetooth headsets and other BLuetooth-enabled devices. Alexander's post here explains a "tricky" way to confirm whether the updater has been successful.
    Warm regards,
    Dean

  • Early MBP and latest firmware updates...

    I got my MBP on Apr 13...I can't remember if I did the 1.01 firmware update...
    How would I check to see if I did that update. Software Update does not tell me which updates have been installed.
    Current SMC version is 1.2f7, would I need 1.01 or just install new MBP SMC update that Software Update alerted me to today???
    Thanks!!

    To check to see if the firmware update has already been run, follow the instructions in this thread. The older firmware update is not included in the SMC update.

  • NSU and N80 firmware update on '3UK'

    Could anyone from Nokia please advise when the v4 firmware update for 3UK branded handsets will be available via the NSU program. Many thanks.

    Nokia don't release this kind of info, best you can do is check every couple of days via NSU.
    First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
    Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
    My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

  • Downgrading both Tiger and EFI Firmware update

    After continuing kernal panics after upgrading the 10.4.10 combo update v1.1, I did a successful archive and install back to 10.4.9. Unfortunately at the same time I upgraded, I also upgraded my EFI Firmware which I thought might help conectivity. It did not. Now, I still have the upgraded EFI Firmware on my comp without the correct Tiger update. I thought of downgrading my firmware with the correct firmware CD, but it states that this can only be done with an unsuccessful upgrade. I'm guessing the successful upgrade they are talking about is not the OS system, but the firmware itself. That was, at the time sucessfully upgraded.
    Now, I'm stuck at what to do. Do I upgrade back to 10.4.10 and try to downgrade the airpot, which seems to have helped others? I was reluctant to do that because I was afraid of some incompatibility issues. Do I try the CD to downgrade my EFI FIrmware? Nervous about doing that because of the warning. I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

  • MBP EFI and Thunderbolt firmware update

    RUnning OS X 10.7.1, Software Update asked to update my Thunderbolt and MBP EFI firmware, after which restart was required. On restart, long tone heard, followed by black screen. Trying to power on led only to black screen. I did a hard reboot (held down power button until power on light flashed) and that seems to have done the trick.

    So does it now list the updated Firmware version in Apple System Profiler, or did you manage to abort it before it completed, leaving the old version intact ?

  • SRW2024 and SRW248G4 firmware update

    We have two network switches - SRW2024 and SRW248G4.The version presented on the SRW2024 rear panel  - v1.1, and at SRW248G4 version is not specified. Via telnet, they show the following version information:
    SRW2024
    Boot version: 1.0.0.03
    Software version: 1.0.0.86
    Hardware version: 00.00.03
    SRW248G4
    Boot version: 1.0.0.06
    Software version: 1.0.0.61
    Hardware version: 00.03.01
    Tell me please, what version of firmware needed for these switches, if I need to update the boot code?

    I read these documents, but unfortunately did not understand them, do I need to make some additional steps, besides updating the firmware the latest version published on the site (for example - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/switches/ps5718/ps9967/ps9989/SRW2024_V1_1_V1_2_Firmware.zip for my SRW2024 V1.1).
    In addition, the web link to release notes for the latest firmware for the SRW2024 is not working - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/srw2048/release/notes/SRW2016-24-hw1.2_RN_v1.2.2-tm.pdf.
    Besides, I still can not find the version of hardware for SRW248G4 switch on the body it is not specified. Which version of the hardware is version 00.03.01, indicated in a web-interface? V1.0 or V1.1 ?
