Warning - Firmware update with ESX server vmfs volumes

I just updated one of my Xserve RAID controllers to the new 1.5.1 firmware which is connected via a Brocade switch to an ESX 3.0 server. After the update, ESX is unable to recognise vmfs3 volumes. So ESX users, be very careful! I don't know if anyone experienced similar problems?

Thanks A.P.!

Firmware update with muvo tx 128mb ..solved

hi all
today i have tried to update my muvo firmware with win 98 se
i have installed drivers MuVoTX_DRV_LB__00_05_250 but unfortunately tool for update (MuVoTX_PCFW_LB__0_05.exe)dont recognize any device
then i have tried usb 2.0 drivers (MuVoUSB2_PCFW_LB__20_03.exe)
and Creative MuVo USB2.0 firmware update .20.03...
i hold the power button on muvo and keep it pressed. Then plug the player to the usb-port of the computer and keep the button pressed for at least 5 seconds.
this time installer recognize muvo and i am able to flash it, unfortunately muvo with firmware .20.03 dont works anymore as mp3 player
solution: i have extracted files from firmware .0.05 and copied them in directory where i have muvo updater bundled with firmware .20.03.
this time all works and i have my muvo updated... 

i hope this can be helpful, sorry for bad english



ah. the file you linked twice to is for this: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=23&subcategory=25&product=099 a completly different product than the MuVoTX 28MB (which for some reason is listed as a separate product from the other MuVo TX (28/256/52) versions...), that's why you were having the problems.
good to know you got your muvo working again though. Message Edited by batkinson00 on 02-24-2005 0:26 PM

N91 Firmware update with Mac OSx

How do you update firmware on the N91 with a Mac running OSx (Tiger)? Any help much appreciated!!!

You don't, I'm afraid. At least not by yourself or without a PC with Windows, as the update software is Windows-based.
You can take your phone to your nearest Nokia service/repair center, though:
http://www.nokia.com/repair
Or you could find a friend, relative or colleague with a PC running Windows.

Firmware update with web desktop manager

Hello,
I want to update my devices via Web Desktop Manager. I have configured the BES like discribed in the appropriate document and I have configured a share and a software bundle.

I don`t know how to fade in the missing register!
Thanks and greetings

Firmware update with black menu interface option?

Hello folks and Apple people,
I purchased my black 30gb iPod a few weeks ago, and it's cool except for the fact anything that comes in contact with the casing scratches it. A little disappointed in that but from what I gather the only thing to resolve the issue has been to put the soft white case in with each model (which also scratches the acrylic) :-/
Anyway, my main question is one that I think others would be interested to know about. Are Apple going to release a version of the software for this iPod that permits me to change the menus from a white background to a black one with white text? It looks a little out of place with such a cool black unit, and a black user interface would seriously rock.
I can only hope!
Athlon 64 3500+ Windows XP Pro Waiting to buy my first Intel Mac as soon as they come out!!

Sounds cool, but it would probably look goofy and hard to see the album art. But i do like the idea of being able to change background and menu colors.

How to UPDATE ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, build 207095 using SSH or VSphere CLI remotely!

Hello Guys,
Over the past few hours I have been posting related questions and I have gotten a little closer to updating my server/host.
I have gone to the ESX Server 3i updates (Embedded and Installer) and I have noticed that the first build for ESX 3i is 207095. Which means that I have not done any updates since the installation. CORRECT!
Now... I have been using "ESX Server 3 Patch Management guide, which instructs us to use esxupdate, but it appears that some of the command in that document is not supported on my host.
This post: vihostupdate35 | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs ..... Tells me that I will have to use "vihostupdate35" from a remote CLI which I installed but cannot see how to connect to the server as I cannot find any document that shows the syntax etc.
At this point I am confused and frustrated and just need a little more guidance from someone who could point me to a document or copy and past the procedures I need to use to get this update done.
I have downloaded this file to do the UPDATE: "ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip" and I have extracted it on the host on a Datastore and copied it to my "/Tmp/ESXi350" folder.
I have also extracted it there as well just in case I need to browse to the extracted folder, and run any command.
Can anyone out there help me with the correct SYNTAX and METHOD to get this update installed?
I can connect with SSH from a windows machine using puTTy.exe as well as I have VSphere CLI installed on another Windows PC and can browse to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin" folder to run "vihostupdate35.pl" I can see it in the folder with a "dir" command:

Latest firmware update killed my network, HELP!

so.. I updated the firmware about a month ago when it was first available.. My device is completely stock and i'm not really ready to root nor factory reset it. I reset it before due to an error on the backup assistant screwing with my external sd card (the real issue was the copy and paste error some devices were faced with). I've been through about 4, 32gb externals and the latest sandisk just sent me.. is bad too. :/
But, that's not the issue i'm getting at. Since the lastest firmware update with caller ID, etc.. I've had little to no signal, dropped messages in my house, completely dropped 4G LTE while using GPS.. horrible due to some areas I was in.. slow or lagged device to the point where i've had to restart my device 3-4 times each day in the last week...
Can someone either tell me if there is a quick solution to this or what the next step should be in this process. because this whole "we've retracted the update but are looking into a fix" ** isn't very settling. Since, on Verizon's time.. I'm afraid the next update won't come for a few months..

I am having the same issues described by everyone else (dropped 4G, worse signal, etc.) after the update to MD3.
My wife's phone is identical but without the update and it works fine (like mine did before the update)
WHAT is the resolution to this issue, Verizon? I really don't believe I should have to go down the root-my-phone route and find third party sources to fix this issue. Why can't you just push the old firmware back to my phone?
I am quite disappointed that what was my best smartphone experience to date has been ruined.

Firmware problem with imac

hello, i have a problem with my imac 27 inch, late 2009 (11,1). it doesn't starting after the firmware update. with firmware restoration can i use?

If you cannot get it to boot you will need to take it into an Apple Store or AASP to be fixed.

FIrmware update error

I see that others have had problems updating the Airport Extreme firmware to 7.3.1. Mine is now at 7.0.0. Solutions proposed by others just don't seem to work for me. Tried soft and hard resets, unplugging, even a system reinstall. Tried updating firmware incrementally (7.1.1, etc.). In short, I've been stymied at every turn. This has not been a typical "Apple" experience! Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks-
Rob

Hi,
Be sure to run the firmware update with Airport Utility 5.3.1 (or more recent). Use a wired connection with the computer running the utility plugged into one of the group of three LAN ports. You also need to have working connectivity to the Internet so the computer can grab the firmware image from Apple via the Internet.
After I upgraded to 7.3.1, it didn't really seem to solve any pre-existing problems. Frankly, I'm thinking the upgrade path for the AEBS is to retire the AEBS. I've had an AEBS for over a year and have never gotten it to perform satisfactorily. The best luck I've had is using the AEBS as a dumb bridge. I'm going to see if I can get the AEBS to talk WDS (wireless distribution system) with my Linksys WRT54G/GS or my Cisco AP350. At least one other AEBS owner said WDS works with Linksys - despite the fact that Apple's HowTo says the AEBS's WDS is proprietary.

Firmware update 29 June 2011

Be warned! the firmware update released today 29 June 2011 onto my macbook pro caused the finder to crash. Sorted by having to launch into safe mode?

You may have downloaded and installed it on the 29th, but that is not the release date. Since you didn't provide any information about what firmware update it was and the date you're using is meaningless, nobody could tell what you were talking about. Sounds like it's the Thunderbolt update that was installed, at the same time as the Java update.
As to your warning, firmware updates don't generally make specific apps like the Finder crash, so I think there's something else going on in your case. I'm especially puzzled as to how you have pinpointed the firmware update as the cause of your problem when you installed a Java update at the same time.

Aluminum Keyboard firmware update FAILURE

I accepted the firmware update yesterday and was asked for my appleID password to confirm installation. After the firmware installation started (listed as "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0" in the title bar of the installation window, but 1.1 in the software update list), the keyboard just stopped working entirely (although the mouse connected to the USB slot was still functioning) and oddly, I was asked for my password to resume installation. Of course at this point, I had no functioning keyboard to enter the password!
I plugged in a spare MS keyboard to put in the password and continue the installation, which stalled due to some internet issues (still not sure if it's ISP or AirPort related). I woke up this morning to check and the update was still stuck installing. It wouldn't let me close the update without forcing, but I went ahead and stopped it and re-started the firmware update by checking for software updates again. The update asked me for my password THREE times and went through a loop of progress on what appeared to be the same installation screen. After the third time, I received a message that the firmware installation failed.
So now I've completed the firmware update (with an error) and managed to incapacitate my keyboard. Any idea what I can do to get my keyboard working again?
I'm aware of the possibility that the additional keyboard may be causing problems, but being prompted for a password three times during the firmware update necessitates it.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
At this point you may be better off taking the KB to an Apple Store and getting them to install the firmware.
To be honest, I would never do a firmware update with Software Update. As you see, things can go wrong, especially when you are relying on an internet connection. Whenever SU informs me of a firmware update I decline to install and then go to the Apple Downloads page, manually download the update and, following the instructions exactly, install the update manually.

EFI firmware update - I can't get any sound from ITunes now.

I just installed the firmware update with no problems except I-Tunes won't output any sound. It is playing, but no sound comes out through speakers or through the headphone outlet.
I reinstalled ITunes latest version, still no sound output. Checked my sound preferences, still no sound from ITunes.
I do get systems sounds (the beeps and stuff), just not from ITunes.
Anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Try trashing iTunes preference file (com.apple.iTunes.plist) and repair permissions.

ESX 3.5u3 doesn't see network after firmware update on x6250

Hello,
We have got several Sun blade x6250 with ESX 3.5u3 with latest updates.
We have updated firmware on one of them from ELOM 4.0.45 -> ILOM 3.0.3.33 recently.
Now a ESX server doesn't see network:
Node ISOLATED form Network. Either repair network or override agent startup ...
I executed embedded PC-Check test, it saw all four NICs and said that they were 'Success'.
Also, I cleared statistic on a Cisco Catalist interfaces where the blade was connected.
After a day 'Receive' statistic is 0
Also, I tried to load the blade with DSL Linux, it didn't see network too.
Do you have any idea concerning the situation?
Thanks!
Regards,
Andrey.

Hi msahed,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with your PC establishing a secure connection to the iTunes Store and the firmware update server. Try following along with the articles below, as they should resolve the issues that you described.
iTunes: About the "A secure network connection could not be established" alert
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1470
iTunes for Windows: iTunes can't contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

I hope this helps.
