Why no updated firmware for hp dvd writer 1260d? MID codes are outdated. Can't burn many disc brands

I have an HP Pavilion a610n. The operating system is WIndows XP. No error messages. No recent installations.
As stated, many modern brands of discs used for burning have modern MID Codes. This is especially true of Double Layer (DL) discs. Unfortunately, my HP DVD Writer 1260d (that I bought within the past two years) seems to be antiquated or on the road to being obsolete because no firmware updates are available for this model with its old, old MID Codes. (Just to get this off my chest, my second question might be "Why would I ever buy another HP computer since this one continues to be a complete headache in every way?")

I'm having the same problem using Toast 7 to burn a Video TS movie I made. I'm using an external Lacie 16X DVD-R DL drive and an iMac G5 2.0, and Mac OS 10.4.3
After several failures with Interface Error 5, I tried copying a DVD movie I made from another DVD. This was created with the same Lacie drive using Mac OS 10.3 and my old iMac FP 15 inch. I got the same failure message.
I then switched my Lacie Drive to the USB port and everything is working fine. I switched it back to FireWire and I get the same error message again.
I can play DVD's on the Lacie with either the USB or FireWire port without any problem, I just can't record using the FireWire port. The FireWire ports on the computer work fine with all my other FireWire devices.
It must be a combination of 10.4.3, Toast 7 and Lacie FireWire. I'm going to recheck Lacie's site to make sure I have all of the updates.

  • When will new update (firmware) for E72 will come?

    when will new update (firmware) for E72 will come?

    Firmware update for E72 has already been released..
    v22.007 has been around for many European models since around January
    v23.002 has been around for Asian/Middle-East models since this February.
    Some operator-branded phones may not have available updates yet though.
    You can use the Device Software Update page (search for the links in Nokia website) and enter your product code to find out if your product code has been included in the firmware updates already. 

  • Why no new firmware for E71 (product code:0569371)

    Now, normally I would not care but over the last couple of months everyone keeps blogging about the new firmware for their E71.
    I have paid a full price for mine in the US (Newegg) so that I would not be constrained by some provider limitations.
    Well, now I find out that everyone else in the world, including the US, but that one product code (0569371) has received their updates, some even two and I am still stuck on the original 1.0 release.
    Can anyone one over there at Nokia explains this to me like a 4-year-old, why does Nokia punishes owners of this particular product?

    Having exchanged a few polite emails with NA Nokia devission I got this today:
    "Nokia is consistently working to improve our product services and realizes the software update is important to you. I regret to inform you, that I do not have a release date for the firmware update to your Nokia E71 device. Please continue to monitor the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) for updates for your device. "
    So, I have decided to go on a mission to provide potential North America buyers of the Nokia phones sold in US about the support they can expect. Do I think this will help? I doubt it, but what else can I do? Class action suite?
    I frequent these mobile blogs/forums on daily basis: Nokia Phone Blo, nokiAAddict, UberPhones, Mobile Tech Weblog, IntoMobile, MobileCrunch, Symbian-Guru, Mobile88. You can look thre for my ongoing comentary.
    Go ahead Nokia, mark this thread as "resolved"

  • Updating firmware for N95

    I've installed the latest software updater and tried to update the firmware for my N95 (RM-159). It says I'm running version 10.0.018 and that there are no updates available for my phone yet everyone is talking about version 12. Am I doing something wrong?

    clarification on the branded question - Did you buy a "sim free" phone (meaning that you got the phone as it was delivered from Nokia) or did you buy it from someone like Vodafone or O2 or something similar?
    As if you did the latter there is a chance that the vendor has "changed" the firmware so that they then can decide what is the best firmware to use, And they would test it internally before releasing it to its userbase. That would be the reason for why your phone says that there is no newer firmware as they would control this "check".

  • Unable To Repair/Update Firmware for a Creative Nomad Jukebox

    Hello all,
    I've been trying for the past...3 or 4 hours to get my player to work, but it simply refuses to work =P. I sent the problem into Creative, but haven't gotten a response for a couple days now. So, here's a copy-paste of what I sent in that e-mail. If you can think of anything that might help, please don't hesitate to post! I really need your help on this one!
    My player's hard dri've recently died, and I received
    a replacement from the original store (a CompUSA).
    However, my Firmware for the device has failed. I
    tried the firmware upgrade for my Zen, but after
    a certain number of tries, I gave up. Here is the
    list of steps that I followed.
    On Zen: Click "Reload OS", let it run, it says
    run the firmware upgrader now.
    On Computer: "You cannot install this firmware
    update with your player's current drivers using
    the SB394 connector. To update your player's
    firmware, this application will temporarily
    replace the current drivers and restore them after
    the installation is complete. Continue
    installation?", I click Yes. Then it says to
    disconnect, and re-connect. I do it.
    It shows my version (.2.0), and I'm upgrading/
    repairing it to .2.02. When I click "Upgrade", a
    warning message pops up and says:
    "Your player cannot start up properly. Please
    reboot your player and run this application again.
    I've done this at least 0 times, and nothing changes. My player is a Nomad Jukebox Zen, the one with a FireWire connection, and like I said,
    I've tried this at least 0 times with the same results. Is there a process to completely remove
    the firmware on the device, then reinstall it,
    or to roll it back or something? Any other ideas
    to fix this problem is needed as well.

    Bump.

  • Recommendations, please, for external DVD writer for my 2006 iMac. (Internal drive unable to write coherently.)

    Thanks, A Brody.  Don't know what the PRAM battery is.  Here are more details of the fault ... Although I've had the iMac for 5 years this may be the first time I've tried copying a video recording onto the DVD drive (I've made lots of CD copies without a problem).  The folder and files all seem to be reproduced in identical order on the disc but my domestic DVD player cannot make sense of the recording, unlike the original source DVD from which the files originated.  The drive has always been noisy but I've never assumed it shouldn't be!  Does this fit your PRAM battery theory?  If so, please explain more.  Thanks.

  • Can't update firmware for Ipod Touch on my PC

    I have a 1st gen Ipod touch & windows xp. I have the latest itunes.
    It will not let me update the firmare, but I can sync fine.
    To update the firmware, I give it to my husband and he can do it from his computer. Then I can sync with no problems. It's just the updating firmware that causes the ipod to crash (1602 error, but occassionally other numbers).
    We thought it might have been that I didn't have USB 2 ports, so I bought a USB 2, 4 port card, and my husband helped me install it. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem and it still wont let me update. I thought perhaps because the usb 2 card came with driver disks, it might need a driver. But I checked the driver disk and it contained drivers for strange things I didn't have. Then I checked the internet and it said that with xp the drivers should be automatic with windows update, and mine is all updated, I checked.
    I've checked my devices manager list, and the list only contains one "enhanced" usb port, even though the card I have has 4 ports, but maybe I am not understanding how the devices list works.
    Just to clarify, have had the same problem with 2 ipod touches. My orignal one got a cracked screen (one crack so covered by warranty) and I received the replacement ipod touch yesterday, and I still could not update the firmware on my PC. My husband had to do it on his PC (vista).
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I really would like to be able to update the firmware on my own PC, it's geting extremely annoying.

    Because I cannot sync my music to my iPhone without updating on my PC which has all my iTunes. Where should I have posted my question to get the help I need?

    Hello Kappy,

    When I tried to open them to figure out which file I needed for the update. I received a message saying an application is needed to open the file(s). I do not know where to go from here. Do you have any idea how to proceed? I truly appreciate your support.

  • When will updated firmware for the WRT600N be available.

    Since the IEEE has approved the 802.11N standard, we should expect updated firmware supporting the approved standard.
    Any guess when?

    I made the assumption that all of the Draft N routers would get a firmware update once the 802.11n specification was approved. It sounds like I may have been too optimistic.
    I can't really complain too much. The WRT600N router has been working perfectly since I installed it two years ago. I have been able to connect with devices running 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n (draft) with no problems. I also get excellent signal stength through both floors of a fairly large house.

  • Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format.  I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn., Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format.  I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn.

    Since I updated my itunes I can no longer burn a playlist to disc using MP3 format.  I clicked on converting the songs to mp3 format but they still won't burn to disc.  The computer says it is checking media and then stops.

    same problem. Im using itunes version 10.6.3, I converted wavs burnt from cd, to mp3 using itunes, these were  NOT PURCHASED from itunes, and when I try to burn an mp3 cd using the new mp3 files, they convert to wavs before my eyes every time i create a new playlist of the mp3. The mp3 revert to wav within less than 30 seconds. As if itunes is saying, let me help, I substitute the higher quality 1411 wav files for you. And of course, now they wont burn to mp3, because "they must be converted to mp3 first" before burning.
    But every list of the mp3 version of the files keeps reverting to 1411 wav files?
    WHats going on? Thanks

    Apparently there are several issues that Apple has when attempting to burn your own CD for music. There are also several applications available in Itunes to burn a CD, I.T. MP3 etc. I am still having problems creating my own CDs' , initially, I did not have a problem, once I activated the MP3 downloads, all bets were off....
