What does the new update firmware do?

Ok, ok, I know what it does but the description is a bit vague:-
"This EFI Firmware Update fixes several Boot Camp, start up, and wake-from-sleep issues on iMac computers."
Now my 'need to know' is; My iMac had problems when it woke-up, like big dirty lines of colour and burn lines all over the place (see link below)
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2615642#2615642
Does this firmware update solve this? This is now my second iMac and It's not a huge problem for me but Ive not put the **** thing to sleep since it was replaced.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance.
Imac Intel Duo 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

jimvwmoss,
Watch the various threads of past issues to see if others report any changes with their problems. I don't think those who wrote the update could possibly have tested every possible impact on every machine out there. Some users will undoubtedly see improvements, while others won't notice a thing different. There have been plenty of threads on sleep issues, and differences between applications whether running one way when booted from Mac side, and acting differently when booted from windoz side. There have been threads on random restarting, and on random shutdowns. There have been threads on AirPort malfunctions related to sleep, restart, and shutdown. Etc, etc.

What does the new update for the ipod do?

I keep looking. I have an Ipod from 2003 20gb. Iv'e never updated the software so I found the updates but I cant find anywhere that states what the updates do for my Ipod Im tired of looking. Please help!

Hi Jeff,
I also have an old 20GB i-Pod and I too wanted to know what was in the new version, but like you I couldn't find a list of features or bug fixes or whatever.
I was happy with the i-Pod and I believe in the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", however, I also heard that the new i-Pods have on-the-go playlists, which is a feature I would really like. So, long story short, I used the new updater, the i-Pod now runs ver1.5 but there is no on-the-go feature. I'm guessing it's not supported for my old Hardware. As a compensation, though, I swear it sounds a bit better than before - dunno if there is a new decoder algorithm in the update. Haven't really answered your question, I just want to warn you that if you want to update for a particular feature, it might not be there. Apple really should publish a feature list for all versions. Good luck Jeff.

Why does the new update not recognize my new charger that i bought for my iphone ? it worked before but not anymore !!!

i recently bought a new charger 2 months ago at best buy . (black friday sale) ! it worked so perfectly fine until today . i guess it's the new update ?! i don't really like it because the charger is a really good one . my warranty expired in december , and my charger burnt out like the other two chargers i had ....

Apple tried making it so iOS only allows "made for iPhone devices". You will have to get a different cable in order for it to work again.
If you need just the USB section of it, amazon sells a nice cable, for a few bucks less than apple and it is a lot better made.

Why does the new update add a jquery-2.0.3.min.js file?

So I updated adobe edge and instead of getting improvements I got problems. Whenever I publish my file it ads a jquery-2.0.3.min.js file that is so heavy that now my file is more 60kb.
My file used to be 17kb.
How can I change the publish settings so that I only have 3 javascript files= edge.js, edgeActions.js, and an edgePreload.js
Which were the original javascript files. It doesn't even publish a preloader anymore.
What can I do?

The old runtime used to depend on jQuery, however the new one does not. That's why on upgrade, jQuery is added as a dependency in the upgraded project as it might be used in the scripts. There are two options available:
1. If you are not really using jQuery, then you can delete jQuery from the scripts section, preview and test the movie and publish. It will not have any jQuery dependency in this case. Please note that the new runtime has the support for basic selectors and some basic jQuery APIs (Adobe Edge Animate CC JavaScript API), if your use of jQuery is limited to these, then also you can get rid of jQuery dependency from the upgraded project.
2. If you are using jQuery, then you have the option of using jQuery from the CDN. You can remove the local jQuery dependency and add a dependency by specifying a CDN URL for jQuery. We are looking for options to make this flow easier.
Let us know if you need any other help.

Does the new update

stop the silver apple logo of death?

I used to experience a lot of crashes/restores before while updating/installing applications. Having installed applications from both iTunes and App Store I can say that, with 2.1 firmware, installations and updates are very smooth. Even having 40+ applications installed, the new app installation takes less than 30-40 seconds.

What does the new 5th gen iPod boxing look like?

I want to go buy it, but I am not sure how I can tell between the old(pre-september 12) iPod "video" and the new one. Is the boxing different like the iPod nano? Thanks for looking

I have the new box, but I don't know what the old box looked like so I don't know if it's different. There's nothing that obviously designates it as the new iPod except that I got the 80GB version. But for the 30GB version, I guess you'd have to check the Part Number, which is shown on the bottom of the box.
I got the white version, so the box is black with a white iPod showing on the front. It's about 6 x 6" square and about 1 1/2" thick. iPod pictured on top and bottom - on top with a song playing "Dani California", and on bottom with a movie (Pirates of the Carribbean). Actually the Pirates theme may be a key to the new ones. The thin sides have an iPod in profile, the apple logo on each side, fine print on the botton, and "80GB 20000 songs PC+Mac" on top.

What does the new mac mini really look like? raised or not?

looking at the images on the mac mini page http://www.apple.com/macmini/ it clearly shows the mini with it's front edge resting on the ground in all the images from the front. the reflections touch. but when you follow the 'Design' link it shows that the new mini is resting on a raised foot, so it floats.
i'm pretty sure the floating version is the real version, but why the inconsistency?

it's not an optical illusion. it's just wrong in the images. i agree with the people who made the illustrations, it looks better when it's flat on the ground and not floating.
http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/16/mac-mini-mid-2010-teardown-photos/
that gives you a better idea of what the new mac mini looks like from the front in a similar angle to the images on apples site. notice the very large gap between the reflection and the front face of the mini. also notice the large black shadow caused by the mini being raised up on the black circular foot on it's base. There isn't an angle that you you can move the camera to that would eliminate the shadow or distance between the reflection and the case and still see the front face as you do in the images.
it's just an odd inconsistency that misrepresents what the final product looks like.

What does the new Nano do at the end of a podcast?

My wife has a 1G Nano that she listens to podcasts on while she runs. It has the annoying behavior of stopping playback when a podcast finishes, instead of going on to the next podcast. Some of her podcasts are only 5 minutes long, so this means she has to fiddle with it every 5 minutes or so to get the next podcast playing.
Can someone with a new Nano please tell me what happens if you have several episodes of a podcast on it and you start playback? Does it still stop after the end of each episode or does it go onto the next one? Does it do the same if it's in shuffle mode?
We tried to work around it by creating a smart playlist containing only podcasts, but I think this model has something wrong with it. Sometimes podcasts don't show up in the playlist, and sometimes podcasts show up in the playlist but not in the Podcast menu, and the syncing gets all messed up.
Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
First I am not sure if your wife has multiple episodes of the same podcast she wants to listen to or if she has many short individual podcasts. Please note that below my suggestions differ depending upon which situation fits her problem.
I do not have a 1G Nano but I do have an older iPod Mini which I suspect behaves in the same way as your wife's older Nano. I, too, was frustrated in having podcasts play one at a time. I have a couple of podcasts that have daily episodes and each of those episodes used to stop at the end and I had to select the next one to listen to it. This was frustrating because I usually build up a week's worth before getting around to listening to them. Then, by accident I stumbled upon a solution for the Mini. The podcasts also showed up under albums (and artists too) so I set my iPod to play the complete album, selected the podcast I wanted to listen to and was able to listen to all the episodes in that particular podcast. On rare occasion the order of the episodes might get out of chronological order.
If your wife has multiple individual podcasts then she might want to try setting up a playlist with all the individual podcasts she wants to listen to and go with that. Experiment with the playlist idea and the shuffling options of the iPod to get multiple podcasts to play uninterrupted.
I must admit that since I got the Touch for my birthday this winter I don't use the mini as much and am a bit rusty with all the settings of that iPod. My Touch will play through all unlistened to episodes of a particular podcast but will still stop at the end of each different podcast. I have not had the need to do anything drastic on the Touch since most of my individual podcasts are 1 to 2 hours long which is ample time for me to get in a good, long walk!
Hope this helps you and your wife with her 1G Nano.

Does the new update for ipod touch ( ios 6.1.6 ) restore your device?

There was a software update that came out a few days ago. A while back I updated my software ( a few month back ) and it restored my ipod, I had 89 apps ( 10 i paid for ) just a few pics and 127 songs - some i paid for.
So I had to pay for it allllllll again. I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
Could Someone Give Me Any Advice?
I know you can back it up to itunes or icloud and that.... but it still restores it!
If this helps:
Ipod 4gen 8GB ( Don't ask how i had 89 apps..... i looked on my settings )
I'm not sure if some Ipod's restore and some not but Just thought I'd give you the info above.
I don't want anything to do with restoring it!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm Just asking if anyone has done it and if there's has restored ----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- Ipod 4gen for ios 6.1.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

Infrequently a glitch occurs and restoring the iPod is required.
I do not understand why you had top pay again previous for iTunes purchases
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Some countries limit what yo can redownload without having to pay again.
Transfer iTunes purchases to you computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Make a backup of your iPod too
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Note that the iTunes backup does not include any synced media like apps and music.
The iCloud backup only includes iTunes purchases.

Why does the new update say its going to take 5 hours?!?!

i started the download and its been going on for hours and its still not done. Under it it says 5 hours!!!! is it supposed to be that long?

Unfortunately, yes. Apple's servers are being hammered by literally millions of people trying to update their software. A long wait is super irritating but it's what usually happens.
Maybe cancel it and if you don't mind waiting a day or two, it'll be much faster work after the rush is over.
