Upgrade 333 G3 OS 8.6 to 9.2; Which firmware update?

A friend's son gave her a 333 MHz G3 iMac 64 MB ram (slot loader) running OS 8.6. I tried to upgrade to OS 9.2 but it wants a firmware update. Which firmware update does it require?
Pete

Duane,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have downloaded that firmware update and will take it to her when she and I get are both available.

E1200 V2 upgraded to OS 10.8.2, Cisco Connect unsupported OS, also update firmware?

I purchased myu E1200 Jan 2012. Have been intermittent loss of connection & not sure whether it is old cable modem or router or? ISP came out & checked & changed some cable fittings said looked ok, but could be my old modem. (I'm getting ready to move out of area so don't want to buy a new modem now). But also a lot of my neighbors w Cox report intermittent loss of connection.
I will get messages saying I'm not connected to internet. Usually if i go up & turn off wireless & then turn it back on, it will search & find my router. Frequently though I notice that when I check it has switched to my guest rather than primary for some reason.
I was having some of this before I even went to wifi a yr ago.
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion a couple weeks ago or so. Last night computer had a panic. I received advice to make sure all software as well as router firmware up to date. Found & updated MacBookPro Firmware update. Backed up.
Opened CiscoConnect & got message unsupported Operating System.
Reading about upgrading firmware, saw warnings about doing it hard wired or it could permanently damage router. Because of the intermittent connectivity problems & the warning, I think I would be safest to do this manually by downloading it 1st & then updating the firmware from the download.
I see that instructions say to determine Firmware version. & it also says it will ask for router IP address. I'm guessing all that was in Cisco Connect. I know it has my passwords, but now I can't get to it. It also says I can use the web set up page to get the current firmware version. For updates (but it says for pc) it shows 8/2011 & 8/2012. Since mine was purchased in 1/2012 & unless it self updated, I'm guessing it is running the 8/2011 firmware. But just noticed in the User Guide it says that when I run Cisco Connect it checks for updates & installs them. But that's kind of interesting w all the warnings about running it w a wired connection to make sure no interruptions. Not sure how I have it set up, but I usually set software updates to prompt me so I can control when they actually run.
Once I have gotten that, will I be able to manually download the appropriate firmware version? Or if I click on that, will that start a set up or update process?
If I download Cisco Connect, will it update the already installed version, keeping all my existing info? & then will that be compatible w Mountain Lion & then show me whether the firmware needs to be updated?
Kathi

But anyway, I can't even open the old version!!! I just get a message about unsupported OS! So kind of hard to uninstall if I can't open it.
& for some reason when I was installing Mountain Lion, upgrading from Snow Leopard it found an old version of Parallels which I knew was not compatible. Didn't even think about this.
Its sort of working but something is not working very well. I sure wish I hadn't listened to those who said to save the $ & not get the Apple Airport Express. Their stuff works & its not hard to set up like this!
This is SO LAME!!!
& Where is lists the info, I have so far found NO INFO about updating. I usually have my software set to notify me so I control when it updates. & I think the last times I was in Cisco Connect it was under pressure just trying to get the router working again.
Right now I feel like throwing it at something.
Well, I have twice tried to download from the list for my model & when I click on the set up icon I get a message that "Setup" is damaged and can't be opened. You shold eject the disk image." But when I click for more info it says:

Mavericks upgrade and Thunderbolt firmware update?

Hi Guys,
last week I installed mavericks to an external hard drive and am currently using my early 2011 MBP as a dual boot using Lion and Mavericks. The main reason is because my audio software is no longer being updated in Lion.
My next purchase once I start using Mav full time, will either be a belkin thunderbolt dock or the akitio thunder dock. So I can run my hard drives, tv etc from the thunderbolt port.
Problem is, I'm unsure if I can update my thunderbolt port in my machine, and both docks will only run on thunderbolt two.
in about this mac my information is this:
Model Identifier:     MacBookPro8,2
Boot ROM Version:     MBP81.0047.B27
SMC Version (system):     1.69f4
If I install the firmware updates here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
will I be able to update the firmware for my thunderbolt port from
Firmware Version:     22.1
Port Micro Firmware Version:     2.0.7
to whatever the latest one is, because I saw a post saying the latest frimware version is 25.1
any advice/ideas?
Cheers Iain.

I emailed Akitio and got this reply.
"The AKiTiO Thunder Dock is using Thunderbolt 1 but it's compatible with both Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2, so you can use it on earlier machines as well as the latest Thunderbolt 2 machines. However, the minimum system requirement is Mac OS X 10.9, so you will need to use Mavericks.
Regarding the EFI and SMC firmware, it's good to use the latest version and we usually recommend to update it as part of our troubleshooting process. The page you provided is the one I would have suggested too, so you can follow the links there and update your machine.
Keep in mind that this will not upgrade your Thunderbolt port as you put it, it only updates the firmware of your system."

HT4972 I bought my iPad off a friend and it is hacked. I can't upgrade the software to iOS 5.1 it says unable to update. And something about me not being eligible. I need help please

I bought my iPad off a friend and it is hacked. I can't upgrade the software to iOS 5.1 it says unable to update. And something about me not being eligible. I need help please

If the device is jail broken - and the message is that the iPad is not eligible for the requested build - there are tons of articles on the internet that discuss how to fix the iPad. Use Google.

G5 Firmware update necessary? Random problems since Tiger upgrade.

I have a PowerMac G5 (7,2) with a 1.8 GHz PowerPC 970 (2.2) CPU running under boot version 5.1.4f0. I have added memory.
I apparently upgraded from OS 9 to 10.2.8 without running any firmware updates. I quite frankly don't remember. I have since upgraded to Tiger, directly from 10.2.8. (There were OS X versions in between, I'm told. *wry smile*)
I am now having random problems.
The machine won't sleep. Display will but tower won't.
On occasion when I boot it up, I get the blue screen and nothing else; I have to shut it off with the power button and restart.
iPhoto (ancient version) is running agonizingly slowly (better since I did the fix suggested in the iPhoto forum in answer to someone else's question).
A short while ago, (in the last week) I noticed that some of my rules in mail ceased functioning (while others work fine). I deleted and recreated them to no avail. I previously had serious Mail problems that I fixed thanks to Mr. Gost, but those were largely of my own creation, so this latter might be unrelated.
If I'm reading things on the various boards and in Apple's Support forum right, in order to truly fix this I should deal with the firmware, to wit:
1. temporarily remove the memory I added (not factory-installed)
2. somehow (handwave) install OS 9 OR boot up from a OS 9 disk
3. download and install the 5.1.5f2 uniprocessor firmware update that Software Update keeps insisting I need.
4. reinstall the added memory
5. If I've reinstalled OS 9, reinstall 10.2.8 and then reinstall Tiger. (because I can't go directly from 9 to 10.4, right?) Otherwise, a clean install of Tiger might be a good idea.
Is this accurate?
Should this solve my blue screen and non-sleeping issues?
Are those issues indicative of a serious problem, or just annoying?
Is there more than one firmware update I should be using?
Will updating my firmware at this point create more issues than it is worth (as I'm seeing that many people had issues after firmware updates?)
Also, these problems seem to have intensified since the update to 4.10. Can I go back to 4... um... the last update? If so, can you point me to directions?
Sorry to be so verbose. I'm obviously more than a little behind the bell curve on this upgrade. The version of iPhoto I want (6) isn't even sold anymore.

Software updater insists the firmware update I need is 5.1.5f2. The only information I can find on this is on a 2004 page at apple support (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117) that states:
These firmware updates cannot be installed when the computer is started up from Mac OS X. In order to install them, you must start up the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk (not from a CD).
When you click on the technical details it says:
Remove any third part RAM before installing this Firmware Update. After the Firmware Updater has verified that it has been completed correctly, you can re-install your third party RAM.
There are other firmware updates, but they don't appear to address the issues I have been having, and they're not what Software Updater says it needs. Am I missing something obvious here?
I will check the USB devices. Thank you.

Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.

After upgrading to iOS 7, calendars that I subscribe to do not update on my iPhone 5.

After upgrading to iOS 7, calendars that I subscribe to do not update on my iPhone 5. The new events show up in iCal on my MacBook Pro, but do not appear on my iPhone in Calendars. A specific example is that I subscribe to the Pittsburgh Pirates MLB calendar, which updates the post season schedule in iCal. None of these updates show up on the iPhone.
Is there a trick/update to get this fixed?

How do I upgrade my 667 iPhoto 2.0.1 library copy which is sitting in a folder on my MacBook Pro desktop which has iPhoto 11 installed?

I first copied my 667 titanium (inactive laptop) iphoto library (iphoto 2.0.1) to an external hard drive. Then I copied that folder which I had renamed "Pictures from 667" to the desktop of my 2009 Macbook Pro running iPhoto 11, running 9.4.3.
I downloaded "Iphoto Library Upgrader 1.0" and opened it from my Utilities scroll and this opened but it listed the library location as /Users/petronplus/pictures/iphoto library. So...Iclicked "Choose Library" and made my way to what you see in this screenshot: my Iphoto library from 667
I clicked on it and the Library Upgrader then listed it as what you see. It no longer lists my current iphoto11 library
However, when I click on continue I get this window with the launch button blicking blue
When I click "Launch iPhoto", the Iphoto Icon on the docks bouces a couple of times and the following window opens:
I then click on "learn more" and it brings me to this webpage:
So, I click on "here" and back to the "Iphoto Library Updater 1.0" download page I go.
This just becomes a dog chasing its tail with the same outcome each time: a deadend.
Lastly, I want to just say quit and it tells my I cannot open my Iphoto 11 library because it has to be Updated. I guess that is because I changed from my current library to the 667 one located in the folder on my desktop.
Hopefully, if I go back to my Home, click on pictures, then click library I will revert to normal.
Yes! thank goodness, I have my current library back.
So what do I do to convert the library from my 667 sitting in a folder on my desktop. This approach did not work.
I can still get on the web on my 667...Do I try to download the "iPhoto Library Updater 1.0" to my 667 and upgrade from its iPhoto 2.0.1?
Thank you. I have tried to be as detailed & clear as possible given how often this same kind of problem has been genericly posed before in this group.
Thanks, David

Hi again Terence
I have renamed and moved the old 667 library (iPhoto 2.0.1) into my pictures Folder in my home.
Then I launched Updater and this screen came up and it already had the Iphoto Library 667 as the target to upgrade.
So I clicked continue and got this question window: Your library can now be upgraded by the current version of iPhoto. Do you want to launch iPhoto?
Unfortunately the iPhoto icon starts bounciongand a window comes up which says: To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared...so go get the Upgrader from Apple
On & on in circles it goes.
If I close iPhoto and click on the iPhoto 11-9.4.3 Iphoto Library, which thank goodness still opens with all its info intact and then open the Updater I get a window which informs me that: iPhoto is already running. Only one copy can be running at a time.
So I am forced to shut down iPhoto and Catch 22 continues.
I am trying. Is there anything you can detect that I am doing just plain wrong. Thanks for your patience.
Best, David

Even After Upgrading to 10.3.1 I am still being prompted to Update the OS

Model - Q5.
Ok, so after a great deal of trouble that I took to remove some Apps etc to make space for upgrading my Q5 to version 10.3.1.2243, I finally succeeded in upgrading the phone. Shortly thereafter, just when I thought I was all set, I started getting notifications to upgrade again, and this time I was being prompted to free up another 1.7 GB from my phone, which is virtually impossible. The update version that I am being prompted to fee up space for is 10.3.1.1565.
When I connect through the Blackberry Link, it shows my software as up-to-date, with version 10.3.1.1565 installed. Can someone please tell me what is going on, becuase there is no way that I can create an extra 1.7 GB of space for a new update.
Screenshots of the issue are attached for your ready reference.
Thanks in advance.
I may not be all that I should be, but I'm more than I used to be, and God isn't finished with me yet.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would suggest that you close the update for now.
Do a Restart: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, press and hold the upper edge power button about 20-30 seconds, ignore the 3-2-1 timer and hold until the screen goes black and you see the red LED.
or
Reboot: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, using the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.
Now, return to the Settings > Software Updates and see if it will proceed.
