Update Modem Firmware In OS X?

I have a 450Mhz B&W G3 with the most current version of Tiger installed. I've NEVER tried using the modem that's built in, but now it's time to set it up for faxing.
Does anyone know of a way to perform a firmware update with out taking the system down, and installing OS 9.2.2? I do happen to have the 9.2.2 install CD from my Powerbook G4 (I'm sure it would install on the G3). I really would rather do this within OS X, does anyone know if this is possible?
I'm sure it seems like I'm asking a stoopid question, however this machine is my server, and I really don't want to risk screwing something up.

Unfortunately you can only run the Apple Firmware Updates in Mac OS 9 or lower. Those updates were written in Mac OS 9 and never ported over. You could probably burn OS 9 onto a CD with the updater on it and that should work...if it needs a read write drive that use a zip drive (internal only as the B/W's do not support FireWire or USB boot). I wouldn't recommend running the updates in classic mode under os x because it probably wont work right or may cause a major disaster. Hope that helps!

    You don't get OTA updates on the iPad until you are already running iOS 5 consequently, the Software Update feature will not appear in the settings until you do so.
    You just posted from the website that had the instructions in it. Did you read them or just scroll down to the bottom and ask the question?

    I updated my iphone 4 from ios 5.1.1 to ios 7.0.2 today mainly to update my modem firmware since my connectivity is very poor.
    I read online that updating should help, but the firmware is still at 3.0.04 not at 4.12.09 that wikipedia shows it should have updated to.

    Either your phone is broken, or it was jailbroken. You can try a DFU restore.

  • Problems re-connecting my PSP to Network, after updating to firmware 1.33NA on my D-Link DIR-655

    Hi everyone,
    Here is the 411 about my network
      Your Network Magic Version installed= : 5.5.9195.0-Pure0 
    The type of connection to the Internet, like DSL, Cable, or Verizon FIOS Internet Connection: = Comcast Cable 20K up / 5K down
    The Brand of Modem and its Model Number the router is connected to:   cable modem = ARRIS: TM602G/CT 
    The Brand, Model, Hardware Revision of your Router and include the Firmware Version:=   Router = D-LINK DIR-655 A3 Firmware (rev.1.33NA)
    The Method of connection your problem computer has to the Router: Wired or Wireless: Wireless
    The Connection in use on the problem computer: Wireless g/b/a on PSP
    Operating system and version and Service Pack Level, N/A      Also if any Anti-Virus Program or Spyware Program is actively protecting your computer.
    Include your location in the post or fill out your Profile for this forum and include the location. (Reason: Not all Routers from a given manufacturer are available everywhere.)    (Camden County)  Southern NJ, USA
    Post the link to your Router Model,  http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 
    And any other information you think is important if answering your own post, and the nature of the problem, itself.
    I have had a full functioning network with D-Link DIR655  hardware Rev A3 firmware rev 1.33NA,
    with 5 PC's Dell XPS 730x, Alienware m17x,  Studio 1747,Studio 1749(touchscreen) Studio, 14z all using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, and one Macbook Pro 17", Plus a Dell mini 9 hackintosh( I did purchase  Retail10.5.4  and I placed the Apple stickers over the Dell logo.[ also have a PS#, and PSP 3000 (both have latest Sony firmware updates.]
    All PC's with Win7 Pro x64,'s are connected using Network Magic Pro 5.5 pure-0, with the exception of the Macbook pro OS X 10.7 and hackintosh Mac X10.5.8  which both use the Mac version 4 network pro (Ver. for mac os x.) of which I bought a 3 pack, (To have them work with NWM 5.5 Pro, & share both files, and printers with the windows PC's)
    Everything was working great until I updated the firmware on my DIR-655 from 1.2NA to 1.33NA.
    Since then I have been unable to reconnect my PSP to the network. using  WPA 2 security, which is what I had before the firmware update. If it wasn't for the security additions, this firmware upgrade adds  to the router, I would have gone back to the previos version.
    Here is what I've done in attempts to fix, and then my final solution.
    In Network Magic 5.5, I have tried shutting off the network protection feature, and I also re-added the MAC Address, of the PSP to the Router's list of allowable hardware, when I added my list of all the others..
    The PSP will start the handshake with the router, and then pause at the getting IP address screen, and finally timeout.
    I is showing up on the Network Magic 5.5 Pro's Network Map area, which leads me to believe it is being seen and let in by the software's security feature.
    I also tried to manually add an IP address, for the PSP, using the IP addy, it always seems to grab via DHCP [192.168.7.172] only to have it timeout the same way as it did before, with DHCP
    As I needed Internet access to update the PSP and make purchases from the PSN, I decided to connect my older Linksys WRT54G (HW Ver 5) Ver.1.02.8 (I'm considering the DD-WRT firmware for all it's improvements) to the DIR-655 with a CAT 6 cable. Network magic see's this router, as I added it's MAC address to the D-Link MAC filter first.
    I was able to use WPA Security with this router and the PSP connected without any problem.
    I thought maybe something was wrong with the PSP-3000, but I'm able to connect to a friends Belkin router
    , using WPA 2
    I setup the WRT54G using the studio 14z, as it's the lightest of my portables, with windows on it.
    Should I add Network Magic 5.5 to the network that is my Router & PSP?
    [I have a older thinkpad, that runs Windows XP SP3, which has just been sitting around, and my NWM 5.5 
    license is for 8 PC's and 3 Macintosh Computers.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards in getting my network correctly secured once again,
    DakotaJoe

    I hate being the bearer of bad news, but from what I have read on the Forum and FAQ, you will need to un-install Network Magic from all of your computers making sure that no NM settings folders are left behind under users.  Then unplug all wired computers and rebuild your network by re-installing NM  in each computer before connecting it to your router.  After you have added all of your wired computers, set up your wireless network and install NM and add each wireless computer.
    That is a lot of work.  I hope this helps.

  • Double NAT error status after updating to firmware 7.1

    This may be a bug. My Airport Extreme was working perfectly, but after updating to firmware 7.1, with no other changes to configuration, it is now reporting a Double NAT error. Both wired and wireless clients still have access to the WAN and each other, so everything still works. I know I can ignore the error, but I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue?
    I have a possibly unusual setup -
    My DSL modem creates an address of 192.168.1.47 and hands that to the APE as its WAN address. I've configured the APE to hand out addresses to its client machines on the LAN in the 192.168.2.x range and it does that correctly. So there is no actual conflict - the WAN address is 192.168.1.47 and the client addresses are all in the 192.168.2.x range. Could the new software be assuming that the 192.168.1.x range is the NAT range without verifying the actual range is really 192.168.2.x? Seems unlikely, but it appears to be the case.
    Any insights on this appreciated....

  • Can't access internet after updating to firmware 7.3.1

    After updating to firmware version 7.3.1, I lost the ability to access the internet. The AEBS thinks it has an internet connection (the light is green), but it does not. I have tried restarting the AEBS and my cable modem router.
    I had the same problem with firmware version 7.2.1, and had to revert to 7.1.1.
    I'd like to find a solution so that I can make use of Airdisk and Time Capsule.

    Same here: 7.1.1 works but 7.2.1 & 7.3.1 do not with the same symptoms.
    In fact there are now several threads reporting the same loss of internet connectivity. Happily reverting to 7.1.1 restores connectivity.

  • Updating Marantz firmware via CISCO 1921 Router

    I have a CISCO 1921 Router running IOS Version 15.0(1r)M15.  There are two Marantz 7701 pre/pro processors on the LAN side of this router.  Marantz makes firmware updates available through the internet.  All other network services seem to run without any issues on the 7701 except firmware updates.  We can stream Pandora audio, various internet radio stations, and receive notification of firmware updates available just fine.  However, if we try to actually update the firmware, the Marantz 7701 connects to the update server, then hangs trying to do the update and has to time out before I can try to do the update again. There is something in the way that Marantz uploads the firmware update that is getting blocked by the CISCO 1921.
    If we put an HP ProCurve switch between the CISCO 1921 and the FIOS ONT and assign a routable IP address to the Marantz, the firmware update works just fine.  If we attach the Marantz to an Apple Airport Express that is NATted/routed to a COMCAST cable modem connection the firmware update works just fine.
     This is a long shot, but does anyone happen to  have a Marantz 7701 attached to a CISCO router that successfully allows the Marantz firmware updates on the LAN side?  If so, did you have to change any of the "default" IOS settings so the update takes place?
    I tried to get some info from Marantz on how they do the firmware update, but the folks that answer the phone didn't have access to any protocol or handshake information.
    Thanks for any insight or help on this.

  • Update the firmware on my airport express from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2

    When I press update the firmware on my airport express from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2 using the airport tool says:
    This device and its network service is temporarily unavailable. will you continue?
    When I press deliberately and pressed into the code goes started to download the update, but come quickly with this message:
    Airport Utility could not find the AirPort wireless device after restarting. You may need to select your network manage network connections and try again.
    But my airport lights up green as if it works and I may well be on the net and listen wireless music.
    How do I get updated firmware?

    Chances are, the update was downloaded and installed successfully.
    Try powering down your entire network....every device.....order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
    What happens?

  • How can I update the firmware all at once

    I'm a tech support in a school, approximately our school has over 500 laptops, how can I update the firmware on all laptops at once?

  • Need help - Error while updating the firmware of Muvo Slim using the recovery t

    Hi ,
    While I am trying to update my Muvo slim firmware using the recovery tool it throwd up an error. And from then onwards if I am trying to power it up it won't.
    If I again try to update the firmware, it throws up the error that "Unable to Write to Device: Device Time out".
    I am afraid that my Muvo slim got bricked. Can you please help me in recovering the same.
    PS: My PC OS is Windows XP.
    Thank & Regards
    ksraghava?

    On my XP system, the last time I wanted to reload the firmware, I had to remove all of my Creative software programs,?and then revert my Windows Media Player back to 0 and then use The Recovery Tool. It is a bit of a pain, but does seem to work when you are getting errors with the firmware download.
    luvmyrescuedogs
    Almost forgot. Make sure your player is fully charged or has a fresh battery before starting any firmware download.

  • Error while updating the firmware

    I have X4500 running solaris 10 OS with software version 5.10. The ILOM version is 1.1.1. I tried to update the firmware but I cannot do that because I am getting an error. This is how I setup everything and I get the error mentioned below.
    C H A P T E R 1 - Flash Upgrading Your Server to Software Release 1.2
    I referred to the above link to do so. But, I do not understand what is the tftpserver that I need to mention here. I get an error message saying gethostbyname() failed. I also setup tftp server on my solaris machine using the following link.
    A P P E N D I X C - Updating the Firmware
    Please, help me.

    ILOM <1.1.8 was pretty flaky. 1.0 was described to me by a Sun CSE as the worst piece of software they ever released. I beg to differ, having been forced to use YP and rpc.lockd in the past but I digress ...
    o) Are you sure that you're getting the right firmware image? You want the x4500-specific images here: http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4500/downloads.jsp Be careful not to mix up x4100/x4200, x4100m2/x4200m2, x4600, x4500, etc. files as they are different
    o) Do a "show /SYS/MB" before updating your firmware and stash the output. Updates from 1.x versions of ILOM have a way of wiping the system serial and part numbers. If you record that info first you can repair after the fact.
    o) Do a "reset /SP" to reset the service processor before attempting the update. 1.x versions of ILOM, especially <=1.1.1, seem to upgrade more reliably when they're freshly booted
    o) Be sure that /SYS is stopped before you update ILOM
    o) You don't specify what command you're using to try to update, but I suspect that you're trying something like
    load -source tftp://some.host.domain/file.ima
    given the gethostbyname error. Give it the ip address of the tftp server not the FQDN.

  • Many Ways to Update Your Firmware

    The reasons for a firmware update differ from printer to printer, however the instructions listed on the website are basically the same.  Some firmware updates are required to resolve a specific issue, others enhance features but are not required.  You will often find a list for what the firmware enhances or fixes listed on your product's support website under the firmware's download link (continue reading for more information).
    One method to determine if your product is up-to-date is to print a Printer Status Report or test report within the printer's setup menu which should indicate which firmware version the printer currently has.  Next, go to the printer's support website at www.support.hp.com and type in your product name to look under the drivers' section in order to see if your firmware version matches the most recent one found on the website.
    I have found a very useful tool to help you find out, not only if your product is in need of a firmware update, but also it will locate the serial number, product number, your current operating system and system type as well as the warranty status.
                                          --Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Google Chrome)--
                                          --Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Internet Explorer)--
    If you have ePrint functionality on your printer or a web-services menu within the front panel, in the ePrint settings, clicking Product Updates can quickly install the firmware, however, from a personal perspective, I would recommend ensuring the printer is connected via USB or Ethernet to avoid risk of the update being interrupted as this can cause permanent damage to the printer, rendering it useless.  This method may inform you no product updates are available so it is good practice to use my example above to be certain. Lastly, this will only work if your printer is connected to the network (Ethernet or wireless).
    To update your firmware from your printer (these instructions were taken from the Officejet 6500A Plus):
    "For easier use, HP recommends installing the firmware update through the product control panel instead of downloading the firmware update from this page. If your product is connected though a network (Wireless or Ethernet), you can easily and quickly install the firmware update directly through the product control panel. You must have an active Internet connection.
    If you choose to download the firmware update from this page, your product must be connected through a USB connection.
    Follow these steps to install the firmware update through the product control panel:
    1.  On the product control panel, touch the Right Arrow to display the second navigation screen.
    2.  Touch Setup, and then touch the Down Arrow to display the Web Services Setup Menu.
    3.  Touch Web Services Setup.
    4.  Touch the Down Arrow to select Product Updates.
    5.  Touch Check for Product Updates."
    Using the downloaded version from the website will ensure a secure connection and will require a PC.  You will find, your operating system will determine the type of firmware update you receive at the website.  That is why the above suggestion may work in some instances but not all.
    To update your firmware from your PC:
    Initial Step: go to www.hp.com/support and select the region you live in.  Under the Drivers and Download Tab, type in the name or model number of your printer and press enter.  Next, you will need to know the operating system of your device you intend to use to install the firmware update.  Click here to discover your operating system.
    Firmware Update Instructions (these instructions were taken from the LaserJet P1102w):
    "*Please use a 2 meter (6 foot) USB High speed (2.0) cable.
    1.Download the firmware update utility file to your desktop. Double click on the file.
    2. Select the printer(s) you want to update from the list.
    3. Click on the "Update All" or "Update One" button in the dialog window.
    4. Following the on-screen instruction to proceed the upgrade. During the printer firmware update, the printer's LEDs will begin flashing.
    5. Do NOT power cycle the printer or the PC during this process, or the printer may become unstable and/or unusable without further attention from HP. The firmware update can take several minutes to complete. Please be patient.
    6. To verify the update, a configuration page can be printed. The configuration page will display the current firmware revision in the product information section.
    Notes: If the firmware was already up to date, firmware was not altered. Otherwise, the Utility will display a dialog box at the conclusion of the successful firmware download indicating the download is complete."
    LaserJet utilities are different than the common smaller printers.  It is best to contact HP Support for assistance if you are not able to understand the difference by visiting the printer's business support website.  Large printers can come in such an array of setup options, from servers to software, what may apply to one setup may not apply to another yet it could contain the same printer.  If you have a commercial product, you may find additional assistance at the HP Enterprise Business Community which is an HP forum specific to those kinds of models.
    I feel certain I just do not have enough bandwidth to go into even a general perspective on the different specifications of how to update the firmware of your commercial product.  
    To update your firmware through the EWS: Some models allow you to update the device through what is called the embedded web server (EWS).  You can access this page of your printer by setting up the printer on a network (Wireless or Ethernet connection) and typing in the established IP address of it into the address bar of a web-browser (example: http:\192.168.1.101).
    Click here to view a forum post on how to update your printer through its EWS.
    System Requirements:  Ultimately no additional prerequisites are needed beyond what I have explained above.  You are required to have already installed the software specific to your printer for most firmware updates though.  Once you click on the firmware update link provided at the website, you will see which operating systems it applies to, however, some updates are not needed for all operating systems.  For example, a software patch may be a critical update for a computer running XP but would have no affect on a computer with Windows 8 or Mac.
    I have provided this information in order to explain a few of the techniques used to update your printer to its fullest capacity.  However, I have found through experience it is good practice to have an HP technician on the phone to assist you with this.  Sometimes the worse has happened in regards to power outages, "blips" in the network, or just bad luck and this step has caused the printer to go into a state that it cannot return from.  The terminology used to possibly revert back to a state prior to the firmware update is called "flashing the firmware" and this is only done via phone support and isn't a guaranteed fix.
    I do hope you find this information useful as this is a question I have seen many times on the forums.  This is simply a summary of the many ways to update your firmware in case one of the methods above are not working.  For a more specific description, access the firmware link you are trying to update and read it carefully or click here to link to another forum post.
    Click here to find an HP Support Contact in your region for further assistance.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
