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...

  • HT203167 I found my media files.  How do I get them back into my itunes library.  I have tried :add to library" and copy & paste but that didn't work.

    I found my itunes songs marked with an exclamation point in the media file.  How do I move them back into the libary?  I have tried copying and pasting but that didn't work.  When I hit control, then click, there is no option "Put back"  as suggeseted in the apple supoort article.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I tried to un jailbreak my Iphone4, so i went to Generel and clicked the reset settings to factory. My phone will not turn on and is stuck on the Apple logo. I tried putting it into recovery mode and restoring it, but that didn't work either. Help please?

    Please help!

    Nobody here can help you. Discussing jailbreaking is a violation of the forum terms of service. Go to the website that told you how to jailbreak and get the information you need there.

  • When I load certain websites (ESPN, Sportsline) I am getting text versions instead of HTML and I can't fix it. What can I do? I tried uninstalling and re-installing but that didn't work.

    This is not just an ESPN or Sportsline problem because those websites are coming through fine with IE. And I have had the issue with other sites.

    when I went to put music on it, I had to update my itunes to do so. when I did, bonjour cme up with an error message and wanted me to find the path "bonjour.msi".
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • My iCalendar has started to quit on my ipad while I'm using it. I've already erased everything off my iPad and reinstalled it so that didn't work. . Help!

    The Calendar is quitting when I try to use it. I've already cleared everything from my iPad, restored and the problem is still there. Any other suggestions?

    Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
    Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.

  • "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!

    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.

  • D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter needs new firmware update from Apple

    I purchased a new DBT-120 USB/Bluetooth adapter for use with my iBook (Clamshell). unfortunately, it's not allowing connections to headsets as I intended.
    I have a DBT-120 B1 at home which works fine with my headset but that adapter worked only after updating the firmware with Apple's updater.
    unfortunately, the firmware updater will not recognise my new DBT-120 which is a C1.
    Apple, please update the firmware updater for the new C1... soon!
    has anyone else written a firmware updater for the DBT-120 adapters so that headsets can be used with OS X?
    regards,
    Gregory

    I have the same problem w/ my DBT-120 v. C1
    I tried installing bluetooth firmware 1.2 and Bluetooth Firmware Updater gives me the error:
    "This Bluetooth device is not supported
    This computer does not have an Apple Bluetooth module installed. It cannot be updated by this application."
    I also tried installing version 1.2.1 but during installation that gave me the error: "This update is not needed on this computer."
    I have an iMac Intel Core 1 Duo 17" that will hopefully support the headset when it finishes charging, but I would like to be able to use it on the go too.

  • 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.

    Thank you.

  • I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I recently downloaded the iTunes 11.0.5 for Mac OS X and the iTunes store comes up as a blank page. I have already tried re-downloading iTunes and that didn't work... How can I get it to work?

    I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
    Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

  • Just got a new MacMini.  Migrated files using Time Machine.  However, now, on Launchpad, I see several Firmware updates that were relevant for the old machine, but not for the new one.  How do I get rid of these updates?  They won't delete!

  • N73 firmware update failed but still working?

    Few days ago I saw new firmware for N73 is out. Downloaded program, stared to update firmware.
    After cca. 90% of progress bar I heard same sound you hear every time you plug in/out your phone over USB cable. My heart almost stopped since I heard stories you must not unplug phone during firmware update, that it will not work after that. Suprisingly software offered me to repeat update process!
    I clicked OK and it started all over again.
    Once again after reaching about 90% progress bar instalation stopped with same un plugg sound. This time there was no repeat update offer. I tryed everything but update din't work.
    I plugged USB out of comp and phone and tryed to turn on phone. I wasn't able to turn in on! Then I took out battery, put it back in and turned on phone.
    All worked, menu was in english, but I had option to change it back to croatian again. Installed old programs and they all worked. Voice dialing working, camera working... all working.
    What the hell happened?
    Why installation stopped on 90% and my phone is working without problems on NEW firmware? Bug in Nokia Firmware update software?

    I've understood it's quite normal that the update prosedure may seem to stop even for some minutes and then go on again. The connection between the phone and computer will also break and then reconnect couple of times...
    Are you sure, you did wait long enough before unplugging your phone (at least some minutes)?
    But if your phone has the new firmware now and everything is working fine so I hope there is no problem!

  • Did ios 8.2 update froze on itunes plug in screen and tried to Reset and that didn't work. Then I had to restore, and then had to go to DFU mode to do so then I had reset to factory mode. Black screen. (I never jail broken ever)

    I started out just simply trying to update my iphone 5 to ios 8.2 and it got stuck on the itunes plug in screen. I had to wait till then next day to ask my boyfriend to fix it because I have a chromebook and it can't get itunes. He did everthing apple told us to on the website, and it didn't work. We tried to reset the phone and that didn't work so we did the next thing, and tried to do a restore on itunes. However when did that it wasn't working so we put my phone into DFU and tried to do a factory reset. But, it didn't work and my phone ended up just turning black. I can see the back light on the screen (the light stays up like normally when you turn on the home screen)  but, there is no logo or anything. Is there anything I can do to save my phone??? Please help. If you need anymore info let me know!  

    The Problem is resolved by :
    Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
    Restart the computer.
    Thanks to my friend Sunil.
