Updating firmware on used X1900 xt

I recently bought a used ATI Radeon X1900 XT to replace my "heat fried" OEM one. The card that I installed into my Mac Pro, running 10.6.8. shows a firmware of 113-A52027-140. I turns out the latest firmware should be 113-A52027-202.
The card runs fine, but since it's already such an old card I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to updated. The problem appears to be that most of these updates were included with the OSX updates. The firmware updater you can download from MacUpdate.com, doesn't want to launch (gives me several errors).
Does anyone have another option I could consider?
Thanks,
Stephen

113-A52027-140. I turns out the latest firmware should be 113-A52027-202.
If you update the firmware you are running the risk that your computer will not run Snow Leopard.   Macs capable of running Snow Leopard are more valuable than ones that cannot.

  • Update firmware to use iTunes with multiple speakers

    I updated iTunes today to the new version 6.02.23 mainly because I was anxious to use the new "multiple speakers" feature. When I went to try it, though, I found no option...just My Computer and AirTunes.
    All I had to do was update the firmware on my AirPort Express. Once I had done that the multiple speaker option appeared, and it works great. Now I am listening on my computer and my wife has it on the speakers upstairs.

    Hi Friday56,
    that's exactly what I would like to do. I have itunes 6.0.4.2. installed on my pc notebook and just updated the Airport Express firmware. The result is the same as before: i can see only the remote speakers and "my computer", but no option "multiple spaekers".
    Are you sure this option is available in itunes for windows?
    greetings

  • HT4623 I trying to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro where is installed all latest software iPad is recognised as iPad, Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error

    There was some updayts for my iPad 4 automatically downloaded. After installing it, the iPad began to restart itself every few minutes.
    I tryed to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro, where is installed all latest software, iPad is recognised as "iPad", Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error occured (3). Tried many times, not results. And now iPad stays only in recovery mode, can't switch it off.  How can I solve this problem please?

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

  • How to install OS 9.2.1 on G3 with no OS; says needs updated firmware, how?

    I am trying to install OS 9.2.1 in an old G3 which at present has no OS in it.
    The screen says it needs updated firmware to do so. When I try to follow instructions, it tells me the CD is locked, which is obvious since it is an installation CD. Other instructions seem to assume there is already an older OS in the machine to update. Anyone with an idea of how to break this log jam?
    [email protected]

    Hi wmarina !
    Welcome to the Discussions, and Happy Thanksgiving!
    The only G3 that will give you a Firmware Update warning when trying to install OS 9, is a Blue & White G3 tower.......
    If that's what you have, then getting OS 9 onto it is a bit of a Catch-22, Can o' Worms, P.I.T.A., or whatever other favorite sayings you may have for a difficult job........
    "Other instructions seem to assume there is already an older OS in the machine to update."
    Very astute observation, and 100% correct.
    The OS that is assumed to be on the B&W's drive is MINIMUM 8.5.1, and therein lies the Catch-22.....
    A BOOTABLE 8.5.1 Install CD is NOT available as a RETAIL CD........
    The Retail CD is 8.5 install, with the 8.5.1 UPDATER, which is also on the CD.......
    The 2nd part of this problem is that the Firmware Updater (which is on the OS9.1 CD) MUST be run from the booted Hard Drive with 8.5.1 on it.........
    Your options are:
    1. Find a set of the ORIGINAL SOFTWARE CDs that shipped with a Blue & White G3, and install the original OS from there.........
    2. Do what I had to do. Take out the Hard Drive and move it to an older Mac (i.e. Beige), and install OS 8.5 on it, and update it to 8.5.1, take the Hard Drive out and re-install it into the B&W again, boot to it, and do the Firmware update at that time.........
    Note that NO Mac can boot to an EARLIER version OS than it shipped with when new, which is why you will have to use a beige to install 8.5.1 to that hard drive........
    As a secondary note, to avoid more problems, get a new Pram battery (1/2 AA 3.6V).
    Available at any Radio Shack.
    Good Luck !

  • External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

    External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

    Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
    Does the drive now appear in finder..
    If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
    If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

  • Updated firmware of Creative Zen Nano P

    Questions?. Why do i need to download new updated firmware every now and then?2. WHat is the disadvantages if i don't download new updated firmware every now and then?3. What is the difference of the updated firmwares found in creative download section and the DAPJukebox website?4. Which is has the best quality firmwares, the creative download section or the DAPJukebox website?thanks?

    All software regardless how good the quality control will have bugs.
    Firmware is just software that is stored in the hardware on your device. New firmware is often released by a company to fix bugs or possibly add functionality that could enhance the use of a device.
    But it is also possible that a new firmware update might add a new bug or two. (a rare occurance)?Sometimes (unfortunatly) new firmware upgrades can end up removing a feature.
    For example it appears creative was under some legal pressure to remove the radio recording feature from there devices. On the ZVM, it was removed in one firmware upgrade, then in a later one it was replaced. On the Zen Nano Plus it was removed in the latest firmware upgrade (which is actually a bit old in calendar terms right now), but they have not released a later version that adds the recording back in. So in the case o fthe Zen Nano Plus, an firmware upgrade could be considered a bad thing.
    If you require and use the radio recording functionality, then upgrading to the latest version (to fix some minor bugs) could end up crippling some of the functionality of the device. Normally when new firmware is released, there are notes detailing changes in functionality, bugs fixed, and even bugs that still exist. By looking at the information you can determine if you want/need to upgrade to the latest firmware.
    Since there is some inherent risk in upgrading a firmware, most people don't upgrade firmware unless they need the new functionality or are experiencing a bug of some kind on the device that the new firmware might possibly remedy.

  • Must update firmware before installing OSX Tiger on OS9

    I'm trying to bring an iMac G3 with OS9 to life. It's brand new, never been used before, and doesn't yet have internet. I will get internet (Airport Card) soon, but first have a software update problem.
    After starting the iMac, I have inserted the install DVD for Tiger. The computer says it must restart to install, and when it restarts, the computer says it must update firmware before installing. I have to choose a system with which it will start up and my choices are:
    OS9: Hard Drive
    OSX: Install DVD
    My 3rd option searches for a location, and ends up restarting in OS9.
    Every option either results in the inevitable error message that the firmware needs updating or using the OS9 environment.
    I read Apple support saying that firmware needs to be updated to fix this problem. Support suggests updating firmware from the OSX install DVD, but I haven't found such updates on the DVD, and need to overcome the firmware problem.
    Please help, I am anxious to use my computer!
    Thank you!
    iMac G3   Mac OS 9.0.x   updating to OSX Tiger

    Hi, Kristine -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    You can download the firmware update you need from either of these Apple KBase articles -
    Article #58174 - iMac: When to Install Available Updaters
    Article #86117 - Firmware Updates
    In order to install the firmware update, the machine must be booted to OS 9 on its internal hard drive. It's a good idea to have no external devices connected when you do it, other than the keyboard and mouse. If you can, print out the ReadMe that accompanies the update.

    Intermittent connection screws up Netflix, VOIP phone, Amazon, Streaming music via Spotify/Pandora, general internet access.....whole family is ****** off.
    Any tips/tricks/ideas???
    dave

    Downgrade firmware to 7.6.1 .. as the latest is just lousy.
    It is easy to downgrade.. hold down the option key whilst you click the version number. in Macs.. lots of stuff is hidden behind an option key.
    I also strongly recommend a factory reset and use all SMB names.. not apple type names..
    ie TC name.. TCgen4
    Wireless name TCwifi (or give names to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz).
    That helps all the non-apple part of the world.. connect.
    Also Mavericks has now changed over to SMB as well. So even Mac is now windows networking.
    Generally these two things. .7.6.1 firmware and SMB names will fix it.. if not post again as is another step that is possible.. controlling the WAN speed of the TC.

  • Automatic Update Firmware Fix didn't work?

    I have some graphic pixel glitches and sometimes my iMac is freezing. So I wait until Apple released the Firmware fix. When I installed the Firmware Fix using the automatic updater I noticed that the updater didn't want to restart my iMac - which makes me wonder because I think a firmware update is something to restart your Mac - or am I wrong.
    Ok, after the Update I made myself a restart and my iMac freezed withing a minute and I had some pixel glitches on my Desktop. So I moved my iMac to the Apple Store for replacement.
    Yesterday I got a call from them - saying that I didn't made the Firmware Fix and they did it now and that everything is working now?? So I ask myself, did the update manager didn't install the firmware fix propper?
    To all of you still having problems with your iMac - try to download the patch and install it manualy again - if the patch don't shout that it is installed already - install it and your problems should be gone.

    Thanks Steve,
    but what I wonder about is that the firmware update was in my regular automatic update list. I installed the update as any other updates but the Mac didnt restart after this update. I thought this is ok but it seems not. So I think the firmware update that comes with the regular updater had a problem and didnt install propper without letting the user know. At the Apple Store they found out that the firmware update is not installed - I think this is a bit confusing to people who only run the normal updater and don't know how to install a firmware update. So if there are any more people out there who think that they did the firmware update - but the freezing or pixel problems are still happen - download the firmware manualy and install the firmware update again. If the update is already installed you get a message so there is no way to harm your mac.

  • Everytime I update Firmware it errors and I have to restore.

    This is getting so **** frustrating. I love my iPhone but I HATE iTunes so much. I go to upgrade firmware and then it errors, then the phone is stuck in recovery mode. So I have to restore and upgrade then reload ALL of my music, apps, and contacts. This takes HOURS!!! And also none of my stuff will be in the right order it was.
    What am I doing wrong here? It's not jailbroken or anything goofy like that.

    I've just gotten so used to it that I make sure to back up my phone before hand, because I know its going to crash and burn. It's just depressing to have to waste about 2-3 hours updating firmware on the darn thing.
    This is the only thing I can think of though, when I used to have the old iPhone I had it jailbroken. But when the new iPhone came out there was no need anymore because the app store keeps me happy. I loaded my old profile onto the new phone though. (Contacts, appointments, music) I am wondering id that's the reason its acting weird.
    I could start a whole new phone but I would have to write out all my contact info and everything. Seems like a hassle.
    That's it though, same thing for you?

  • Trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable

    I am trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 to be able to use the airprint feature but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable. I have tried restarting the macbook, turning on and off the printer, repairing permissions, deleting and redownloading the update what else can I do? The prinyrt works fine otherwise...

    If there are no drivers for Yosemite you might be in trouble.. HP will tend not to support printers once they are EOL.
    Getting it running over wireless rather than USB might be worthwhile.
    Can’t connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
    Has the printer been working and now failed after update.. what update caused the failure if that is the problem??

    Can anyone help or suggest a way to put the correct firmware on?

    The product might be receiving the earlier sent firmware update as a job in the print que.  Delete pending jobs from print queue & connect network cable to printer.  The device should perform normal boot till READY state.
    Download and use easy firmware upgrade utility using following HP web link to upgrade priner firmware:
