SSD & performance update 1.0: DON't ..

better not to update this "performance" update when you are using SSD !!!

Reporting back..…….
I have bad news. Everything worked well as described above with my 256GB SuperTalent SSD until I tried to write a large file to it. It hangs after around 300 or 400 Megabytes have been written. Just as before.
So next I roll back the EFI to 1.6 (my computer came out of the box with 1.7 when I bought it last August or September) and then it worked much better. I was able to clone to it (I have it partitioned into 3 separate volumes) for about 15 Gigabytes. But then it hangs. I restart and restart the cloning and am able to finish cloning. I then erased the clone partition, try it all again, and am to as successful. It hangs overtime halfway thru the 39GB clone process and requires restarts.
This is as with EFI 1.6, Performance Update re-installed, and I THINK my SSDs firmware is 1571. I am not sure how I had determined that. I also do not know how to install and update to the SuperTalent SSD firmware with my Mac. I don't own a PC.
Perhaps my next thing to try will be to turn OFF sleep mode for the drive and turn OFF SMS for the drive. My hopes are not very high however.
For whatever reason, this computrer hangs requiring a force restart whenever writing large amounts of data to the SSD. I have no problem with the standard Hitachi 5400RPM and with a Western Digital 7200 I bought, and that is with EFI 1.7 and before they even came out with the new Performance Update 1.0.
As far as sleep/wake goes, the computer will hang when doing a clone even if I am typing in a TextEdit document, so it would not be trying to sleep anyway.

X230 SSD Firmware Update help

Hello,
We are currently having some issues with waking up a X230-2324CTO from a sleep. When awoken from sleep it is unable to open any programs. Programs for example an icon on the taskbar will glow up like if you would normally open a program but then will return to a normal icon like suggesting it was never pressed and no program will open.
Our hope is that the solution is a SSD Firmware update. The have the system updated with every update available for the X230-2324CTO using System Update but this one remains.
Tho we can't figure out how to do this SSD Firmware Update. We don't have a CD drive in this model and when using an USB external disk drive (Samsung) we are unable to boot to the CD.
The question now is can someone provide us with a very clear step by step manual in how to create such a CD the documentation with the update FWSS31 is very poor to say the least. What do we need to create such a CD and how do we need to do it.
Thanks for the support

We are using a Lenovo preload of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. We currently have 5 Lenovo X230 2324CTO laptops and all of these laptops have the same problems.
One of these problems is that when coming into the office and they put there laptop into the Lenovo dockingstations and power up the laptop that when logged in the OS no program is able to load. There sometimes is a delay in this problem that for example they are able to open Outlook or a website but then no program is able to load. As I described earlier the animation for opening a program will occur on the bar but it will quickly just fade away. Also shutting the laptop off is not possible. It is possible to open the charm bar in Windows 8 and go to the shutdown option but on clicking the computer does nothing.
Another problem is that the user is stuck on the login screen of Windows 8 simply saying Welcome with a loading circle which never stops.
Only a forced shutdown (holding the power button for aprox 10 seconds) and restarting the laptop will make the laptop work again when either of these problems occur. These problems occur on random days. As I'm in the IT Team I know when a problem occurs and it can vary to a few days, every day or a few weeks even before it starts to show up again.
I also checked the users and there behaviour in using the laptop but I cannot find any strange behaviour at all. As i also stated before we are running on every update that Lenovo System Update 5 can trow at us. I also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology the newest version in hopes of fixing some of the problems.
Thanks for the support.

Bad performance updating purchase order (ME22N)

Hello!
Recently, we face bad performance updating purchase orders using transaction ME22N. The problem occurs since we implemented change documents for a custom table T. T is used to store additional data to purchase order positions using BAdIs ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and ME_GUI_PO_CUST.
I've created a change document C_T for T using transaction SCDO. The update module of the change document is triggered in the method POST of BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.
Checking transaction SM13, I recognized that the update requests of ME22n have status INIT for several minutes before they are processed. I also tried to exclude the call of the update module for change document C_T (in Method POST) - the performance problem still occurs!
The problem only occurs with transaction ME22N, thus I assume that the reason is the new change document C_T.
Thanks for your help!

Wolfgang

I agree with vikram, we don't have enough information, even not a small hint on usage of this field, so which answer do you expect (The quality of an answer depends ...) This analysis must be executed on your system...
From a technical point of view, the BAPI_PO_CHANGE has EXTENSIONIN table parameter, fill it using structure BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM[X] alreading containing CI_EKPODB (*) and CI_EKPODBX (**)

Raymond
(*) I guess you have used this include
(**) I guess you forgot this one (same field names but data element always BAPIUPDATE)

How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up: Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don't know what it is but don't want it.

How can I get rid of this message that keeps popping up:
Widevine Media Optimizer Update Available? Don’t know what it is but don’t want it.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO does not boot

Hello everyone
Yesterday I tried to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 but I got stuck because I have an Intel SSD inside and it seems that MacOSX 10.8 doesn't have the right driver on board. So I downloaded the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool 2.0.6 ISO, burned it on a CD with DiscUtility and tried to boot from it.
The problem is that it doesn't boot from the CD. It just ends with the blinking/flashing question mark folder.
Luckily I have a second MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 from work. Just out of couriosity I inserted the disk inside this MacBook and tried to boot from it.
Everything went fine. I saw the Intel Firmware Updater etc.
So now my question: What is going on with my first mac? Why does it NOT boot the CD?
What I need to say at this point: I burned the CD with the MacBook from work. Could this be the reason?
hope someone can help me
Best Regards
krebbl

yes that's right. Unfortunatly I don't have a Windows PC.
But like I said, my second MacBook Pro boots from this CD and shows me the firmware updater. My first MacBook with the Intel SSD does not.
And like in the post here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57575091-263/intel-x25-ssd-incompatible-wit h-os-x-10.8.3/ it should be no problem.
Are there other ways to boot an ISO file?

PERFORMANCE UPDATE 1.0 just released via Software Update!

I just got a "Performance Update" through Software Update that states it is provided to "Fix hard-drive related pauses experienced by a "small number" of users".
I received this update on ALL of my machines that are running Snow Leopard, so it doesn't seem to be MBP specific.
Went ahead and installed it and I guess I will see if it makes any difference. I will be curious to see if this solves all the "Spinning Beach Ball" issues that have been rampant on this forum.
Was surprised to see that no one had posted about this yet.

Awesome Bagwan! :o)
That sure sounds like a ringing endorsement of this update! Considering how much of an issue this was for you before, the fact that you are no longer seeing the problem is pretty darned convincing to me!
I agree about the way Apple handled this, but they have always been very "Cloak and Dagger" in the way they respond to problems like this. Not wanting to scare off potential new MBP customers etc.
The little comment about "small number of our customers" is precisely what I am referring to. ;o)
The last thing Apple would want to do is publicly acknowledge this as a major bug because their MBP sales would fall through the floor until it was resolved.
People have to always remember that Apple is a business, and they need to always protect their bottom line. Their biggest one being SALES.
I am in no way an Apple apologist. I don't agree with a lot of the ways they do things when there are problems, but I do understand the motivation behind their actions.

Performance Update 1.0 Problem?

Since performance update 1.0, my macbook pro (15.4" Mid 2009 3.06 Ghz, 500Gb), has been experiencing stalls more frequently than before, and recently just crashed. I checked the Terminal as I had a software build running only to discover that none of the commands were working. top, ls etc. The response received was similar to '/bin Device is not configured' leaving me with now choice to power off the machine. Thankfully it appears to have rebooted with no obvious data loss.
I also have noticed that build scripts on my system which have remained unchanged since the update which involve alot of disc io, 'copying and compressing/uncompressing tar archives' are now taking around 30% longer to execute. This suggests to me that drive throughput is down.
This suggests to me a drop in performance, though I don't have any concrete data to back this up.
In summary I have experienced stalls, and a drop in hard drive performance.

I have noted further Performance Update problems.

Hi,
This message is not a issue in itself. It is just a SAP message which means that the system is checking/updating the system tables to carry out the operation whether it can be done or not.
If your loads are failing at this step or after this message there can be many reasons, check some of the possible reasons below

Does Linux do anything About SSD Performance Degradation?

I have been thinking about getting an SSD for my laptop but just read this article on performance degradation of SSDs: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2738/8
I typically use ext4. Does anyone know if any of the Linux filesystems/kernels/etc do anything about SSD performance degradation? Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Maybe new SSDs don't have the issue?

My OCZ Vertex 2 SSDs slowed down just a tiny bit soon after installing them, but TRIM seems to be working well and they don't seem to be slowing down any further. I'm running them on ext4 with journaling enabled, and only the log files are being directed to temp files. Everything else is going to the SSDs, and they are being used just like regular hard drives.

Performance Update in 10.6.2?

I've been having spinning-ball issues (using Safari, iTunes, and other applications) where the computer will, at seemingly random time periods, display the spinning ball so I can't do anything in that application. I've tried resetting permissions, etc. to no avail. I noticed a thread recommending the Apple Performance Update 1.0 (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3901).
However, I just updated to 10.6.2, and when trying to install Performance Update, I get the error: "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.1."
Is this performance update included in 10.6.2, or will I have to wait until Apple includes a newer version of it on their webpage?

after reading this post i am a bit confused. i have a 2009 macbook pro that needed updates to stop the click + beep hard drive issue and later i needed to install performance update 1.0 in order to stop the 30-40 second freezing issues that you are describing above.
Well, as of right now my macbook pro runs smoothly but after all these issues and reading this post i have become concerned that updating to 10.6.2 will overwrite the previous patches (like performance update 1.0) and i will then have to deal with issues again until apple decides to issue another performance update designed for 10.6.2
so to sum up, does updating to 10.6.2 overwrite the previous patches because they were only intended for 10.6.1? any clarification would be very helpful. thanks

It seems that you try to update iTunes rather than your phone. To update your phone, connect it to your computer, and on the page of your phone in iTunes, you should have a button "check for updates" or something similar.

I want to use a mac mini as a server supporting storage. Can I pair my macair to it for when I need to perform updates and maintenance ?

I want to use a mac mini as a server supporting storage. I have other devices such as an iMac and iPad that will access information from the server. I do not want to purchase a monitor and keyboard as the unit will sit in a cupboard out of sight. Can I pair my macair to it for when I need to perform updates and maintenance ?

I have a 2010 Mac Mini running Yosemite and Server which I use
as a headless home server.
I have is set up to allow screen sharing and can connect to it and
control it with my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPhone, and a 2011 Mini Server
that I use as an HTPC.
You can check this out for all the Yosemite Server capabilities:
https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/4.0/
I have iTunes Home Sharing set up on it and have my entire iTunes
library on it. I can then use any of my Macs to play Movies or Songs
from it and only keep locally a select subset of that on my individual
devices.
Rather than and update server, I utilize Server's Caching Service. The caching
server will duplicate any update download (system or MacApp Store purchases)
any time a device that is connected to my network down loads one. The update will
then be stored locally and all other devices will download the update from it which
can be faster than from Apple directly. This has the advantage of only having to download
once with limited bandwidth internet connections. There is also an Update Server service
available, but it is some what more involved in setting up. However, it will download
and store all available updates.
There is another thing as well if you do not care for syncing things like Contacts, Calendar, etc.
to iCloud, you can set Server up to sync these items across devices locally.

How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap on the Apple ID, and choose 'Sign Out'.
However, logging out of the iTunes & App Store won't change the Apple ID you need to use to update an app. It only affects what Apple ID you're using to download a new app.
Apps always have to be updated using the Apple ID that was used to download it originally. Go to iforgot.apple.com to reset that password. If you cannot do so, then contact Apple Account Security, or delete the app and redownload it using an Apple ID and Password that you know.

When trying to perform updates I get this message. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. What do I do?

When trying to perform updates I get this message: This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. What do I do? I just bought the MacBook Pro new and migrated my apps from my old MacBook Pro.

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.
