T431s: unable to update BIOS 1.14 - 1.16.1.04

Hi,
System updater founds new BIOS, version 1.16.1.04, currently I have version 1.14 (9GHET29WW).
However, after starting to download packages, Lenovo System updater returns (always) an error: 1 package did not download.
I have Windows 8.1 with all the latest (except the Apr 2015 security bulletins) updates installed.
What's up?

Unable to update BIOS or Embedded Controller Program on X40

Hi,
I have an IBM Thinkpad X40 laptop. I currently have BIOS version 1.43 and Embedded Controller Version 1.32. I am trying to upgrade both of these separately using the following programs:
BIOS update (Non-Diskette) - ThinkPad X40
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-53881
Embedded Controller Program (Non-Diskette) - ThinkPad X40
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-53882
I download and run them, go through the 4 step wizard and then the machine reboots. The problem is that it doesn't update the BIOS or the ECP but it also doesn't tell me why or even tell me that it's failed.
Has anyone experienced this issue or know what causes this? I am unable to do this via a diskette because I don't have a floppy drive on this model.

OK, I've fixed this now.
I had Kaspersky Internet Security installed and had disabled it manually but it was obvisouly still blocking fundamental system changes like these. I uninstalled KIS completely and then ran these updates again and all worked fine.

T431s - Can't update BIOS - WINUPTP.exe "Error code = 183"

Tried to update the BIOS on a new T431s. Downloaded the latest BIOS flash utility from Lenovo's support site, everything extracts fine, but once the flash utility starts and attempts to flash the BIOS it gets an error and re-attempts it (3 times), before giving me an error message: "Failed to Microcode update. The utility process has not completed.".
Looking at the log file shows an "Error code = 183" after each attempt.
The existing BIOS is ver. 1.04, and version I'm trying to update to is 1.06.
The ISO image for the BIOS update seems like a nogo since this machine doesn't have an optical disc drive. Unless there's some way to copy the [BOOT] partition on the iso to a USB drive.
Solved!

hi all
thanks for posting. Was reading through this thread and to be honest I'm not sure why you're receiving the error message when updating the BIOS. I will have to consult the team first to see if anything went wrong. In the mean time could you try updating the BIOS downloading the BIOS from the link below to see if you still face the same error message.

Satellite P100 PSPAD: Unable to update BIOS 3.8 and poor video performance

Hello,
I have absolute shoddy video performance on my machine as well as the fan on/off issues.
To add to my frustrations the WinPhlash programme included in BIOS version 3.8 dumps out when trying to flash giving a PHLASHNT.SYS unable to load message with various error codes associated with it (codes 5 and 147 depending on if I run the exe as it is extracted from the ZIP, or run the extracted files independantly).
I have checked all permissionings on the folder and I definately have full control - but still a generic "check your accounts, if you have no permissions please log in again!" message is displayed.
any help with my BIOS issue would be apreciated.

Hi,
I have had the same error message on P100 PSPADE and furthermore the laptop was no longer under control, neither by keyboard or by menu impossible to switch off. I have had to unplug and to remove the battery. Then impossible to switch on.
According to the local ASP the motherboard is KO (??) and the safest way to upgrade the bios was to boot from an USB floppy in DOS mode?
Sounds strange but be careful.
Regards

Re: Unable to update BIOS on Satellite A660

My Toshiba Satellite A660 laptop's (psaw3a-07t00r) harddrive failed so i bought a new one (WD500BEVT) when i put it in the laptop and try to install windows it tells me
"This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk, ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in computer's Bios menu"
In the bios the only option i could find related is the SATA Controller Mode which when changed to Compatibility it will not boot from the disk and just shows a blank screen.
So i thought i would update the bios, i borrowed a harddrive from a friend and installed windows to it along with all the current drivers and toshiba programes but when i try to update the BIOS it tells me
The programe will be closed
There is an error occured, Please check below items.
Bios version is above 230.
Battery capacity more than 20%.
AC is attached
So i'm not sure what the issue is as i have the power attached and that battery is full.

Hi xaver
Thank you so much for your reply.
I bought the laptop second hand and it had a seagate 160gb harddrive in it i forget the model number. i dont see any reason why the new harddrive will not work :( as it works fine in my friends laptop which is the one i'm using the current harddrive from.
Yes i have tried setting defaults and also other solutions found on the microsoft website that did not help at all :(
Anyway i will buy a different harddrive, can you suggest one?
Also i am very interested in why the bios update will not work could this be a problem with the computer?
Thanks, Paul

MPower Z87 - strange bahavioure with SSD - Unable to upgrade BIOS

My Spec:
CPU: i7-4770
Mobo: MSI Z87 MPower (MS-7881) 1.0
Chipset: Haswell Rev.06
Bios: v. 1.3
Memory: G.Skill 2x4GB XMP1.2 Dual channel
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 660
PSU: Seasonic M12II-620Bronze - 620W
HDD:
WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 - ATA8-ACS-SATA II
WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 - ATA8-ACS-SATA III (MSI tested - ok)
WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 - ATA8-ACS-SATA III (MSI tested - ok)
SSD:
Samsung SSD 840 (256GB) - ACS2-SATA III
Toshiba THNSNS128MCP (128GB) - ATA8-ACS-SATA III
*According to this: http://www.msi.com/file/test_report/TR3_2851.pdf
PC - Windows 8 x64bit
Laptop - Windows 8 x64bit
Strange thing happens yesterday, I did run above setup for over a month now without any issue (excluding HDD A2 detection that took around 30sec-45sec). I did copied some video files (3files - around 2GB) from WDC WD20EARX to my Laptop over network (SMB - or whatever proto. Windows 8 x64 uses these days) and copying just stopped - no error or anything - just progress stopped. So I tried to kill Explorer process - without success. On my laptop I couldn't access these directories with the error "Unable to access...". So what I did was to restart PC - not hard restart but windows Restart. I did same on the Laptop. Laptop boot up properly but my PC did not.
   On PC during boot I can see 99 -> 9C -> A2. At first 9C was fast, after some reboots it's taking now 30sec+, and A2 ... takes 10minutes. Strange part is that after that time everything is working fine. After Windows 8 turns on I did scan drives and non of them had an error.
   And now it's a kicker - I did copied all my data from mSATA drive (Toshiba one) and removed partition and reformatted drive - PC now starts after A2 like - 30 sec.
   But still booting up takes like 9C (sometimes its faster) - 30sec, A2 - 30sec -> 10min.
   Also I did tried to update BIOS from 1.3 to 1.5 or 1.4. After selection in BIOS file motherboard just freezes.
So questions:
1. How long it takes on MPower Z87 to detect drives for You guys? (on my 9C - 15-30sec, A2 - 15-30sec - total boot detection time is around 1min)
2. Why I cant update BIOS?
Thanks for reply

I almost brick my mobo. I did got my USB drive prepared and after reboot on "Do You want to run Mtest before update" I did press Y, although instead of running Memtest it went back to my boot chain - so boot into OS, and halfway during boot power was turned of...
Now after disabling setting up 1 drive for boot device (was that before update) I can see that speed increased.
EDIT:
Ok it did not helped at all, now its even longer to boot.
What's strange is that after 1st boot after BIOS update everything went OK == fast, then after reboot from Windows slowness starts again. No changes to BIOS settings...
I had exactly same situation with WD EARS, repartitioning helps but if this occurs again on that drive then I'm in big trouble as I don't have any more 3,5' USB HDD bay.

OSX: Adobe Creative Cloud unable to update (stall at 50%)

Hey experts,
ever since signing up for Creative Cloud I have been unable to update any application as my regular user on OSX. After exchanging 23 emails with the Adobe support in 2013 I finally gave up and created a workaround in the hope that the Adobe developers would finally look into the issue and fix the bug. With the last update of Creative Cloud my workaround stopped working so I took time to do a complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud to see if the bug was finally fixed. It was not.
The bug:
-Installation of Creative Cloud and Photoshop, Lightroom etc. through the Creative Cloud app works.
-Any try to update a CC applicaton (e. g. Photoshop CC 2014 results in the state "waiting" at 50%):
-Trying to update through the menu of Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 "Aktualisierungen"
resulted in the following error message:
Translation: "Update failed. Unable to apply updates. Adobe Application manager is already running. Close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates. etc."
What I tried to resolve the problem:
What did not work:
-Complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud:
     -Uninstall of all Adobe applications
     -Ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool
     -Eliminated every single *[Aa]dobe*-folder on my disk including my profile.
     -Reboot
     -Re-installation using a fresh CC download.
-The common 1st-level-support acts of desperation:
     -Rebooting
     -Checking the file system
     -Fixing permissions
-The bug even survived 2 OSX system upgrades
-Even tried to track down the bug myself which I gave up after having discovered the endless chain of Creative Cloud and AAM-Processes executing each other...
What worked:
-Installing updates as another OSX user. (Which is cumbersome and to be honest I am unwilling to create a new profile and redoing the settings of all installed (especially non-Adobe) applications because of an Adobe bug...)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Patrick

Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19
Type: 4290-R32

Ask google and try anyway but not work
- Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
- Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
- Try to update BIOS again

That is really weird.
When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

I am unable to update apps on my iPhone 5.

I am unable to update my apps on my iPhone 5. As I select the update button it asks for my password but the goes back to like it was. I have already rebooted a couple of times & even logged out & signed back into my iCloud, iTunes & App store. Nothing worked. But, I am still able to download new apps.
Please tell me what can I do now to update my apps. All suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Can you explain a little more? Is there a problem with your app store account? If so, http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
If there is another reason, can you describe it?

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software

Error: 1013231 Unable to update database while in readonly mode for backup , how can i solve this problem ,plz can any one help on this

Has somebody set the database ready for archiving, maybe some maxl has been run and the db has not been returned from read only mode.
Try running the following Maxl (change app.db to match your app/db)
alter database app.db end archive;
Cheers
