Wrt610n firmware upgrade v1.00.03 B15 and subsequent loss of mediaserver functionality on xbox

Okay, this is going to take a while to explain, but if you can stick with me to the end and have a helpful suggestion, you will be my hero.
I have today upgraded the firmware on my wrt610n router from the FW_WRT610N_1.00.00.18_20080816_code.bin which is version v1.00.00 B18 to the most recent FW_WRT610N_1.00.03.15_20090514.bin which is version 1.00.03 B15. Since this upgrade, the UPnP media server of the wrt610n router will not function with the xbox 360, nor with the Windows Media Player. It still works on the PS3 though...hmmm...the plot thickens.
Both of these features worked just fine before the upgrade. On the xbox, the wrt610n:mediaserver would show up as a selectable source when going into the Video, Music, or Picture libraries. Similarly, Windows Media Player would recognize the UPnP mediaserver as a source for streaming showing up as wrt610n:mediaserver. I have a PS3 and sure enough, the wrt610n:mediaserver was a selectable source there as well. All was good (mediaserver wise). Why did I upgrade at all? you may ask. That is a whole different story regarding a host of other non-media server issues with the NAS functionality, transfer speeds, and a few other problems that I won't go into any further.
Now let me explain the steps I've taken and some of the knowledge I have about this, so you don't think that I haven't done my research. I disconnected the USB hard drive (I have a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500GB external hd) before attempting anything. I also disconnected my laptop from Wi-Fi and ethernet-hardwired him into the router. After the successful flash of the firmware to 1.00.03 B15, I did a hard reset of the router. This was done by holding the reset button for 30 seconds. I let the router "bootup" and also let the laptop acquire a LAN connection. Internet connection was successful. I then unplugged the router and waited for about 30 seconds and then plugged it back in and again my laptop acquired a connection all the way through to the internet. I checked the xbox at this point, hardwired him into the router and was able to sign in to xbox live. Going good so far.
I plugged my USB hard drive into my laptop and deleted .storage_info hidden file to start from scratch with storage configuration. I did NOT attempt to restore a saved backup configuration of my previous settings on the router as this can cause problems (especially with the mediaserver stuff). I downloaded the Seagate drive manager software onto my PC and ran a quick diagnostic to check the hard disk. This was successful. I also used the software to change the power save mode timer on the hard drive to Never, so it would never go to low-power standby. I did this because there were issues with version 1.00.02 B10 (the firmware I skipped (another long story)) where the nas functionality will only work up until the period of time of inactivity that initiates low power standby. Once in standby, the router cannot wake it back up and the drive will appear disconnected until you unplug and re-plug the hard disk USB port. Not a usable solution.
Anyways, at this point the USB hard disk was ready for the router. I safely disconnected it from my laptop, and plugged it into the router. The router recognized the hard drive after a few seconds. I created a user with the same name as my Windows logon and same password, assigned to the Admin group and I tried creating a share of the entire partition and linked that share to the admin group. This is for easier time logging into the share when it is a mapped network drive and reconnecting at logon. This was all successful.
Now comes the media server (remember, everything is still hardwired). I went to the media server sub tab under Storage and enabled UPnP and saved settings. I then went into Specify Folder to Scan and chose the Music folder and assigned the name as "music" and created it. That folder then appeared as a "folder to scan". At that point I saw that the hard drive was "working" which tells me that the mediaserver was indexing the contents for later streaming. When the drive stopped its I/O work, I tried looking for the mediaserver as a source in both the xbox and Windows media player, but to no avail. This is the crux of my problem. The mediaserver is not showing up in either interface for me to choose it to stream content. However, when I tried to find it on the PS3, it was there! I was able to use the mediaserver on the PS3 and it streamed the music like a champ. It showed up as a source called WRT610N. You can get some information from the PS3 and I see the ip address and manufacturer is PacketVideo and the Model is TwonkyMedia. I went back to the xbox and Windows Media Player, but it was still not there. **bleep**! I tried manually forcing a scan of the contents in the firmware, but that didn't help.
Now I realize that twonkyvision is the 3rd party media server for wrt610n routers. We also used to be able to access the twonkyvision web interface by going to port 9000 (example: http://192.168.1.1:9000/ ), but that access was taken away by the previous firmware release v1.00.02 B10. I used to get that "twonkyvision license is expired" crap a while ago (another long story). This access is still gone in this most recent firmware release.
My hypothesis is that the newer TwonkyMedia server has used a UPnP standard that neither the xbox, nor Windows Media Player support right now, but the PS3 does. I will most likely have to go back to my previous working version of the router firmware unless one of you brave souls can help.
And there you have it. Any takers?!

It's Great that it has been resolved...
Just make sure that your Router's Wireless Settings are adjusted properly so that you do not face any problems regarding wireless...
2.4GHz Wireless Settings -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,
Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Help..I updated my iphone4 to iOS to 7.1.1 from 6.1.3 at last stage of firmware upgrading throwing an error 16 and stuck in recovery mode.

HIAll
I waited so long not to update of my iphone4 to 7.x.x because of bugs and not much stable for iPhone4 and many reviews from friends saying phone is very slow and many bugs but after release of iOS 7.1.1 of many improvements for iphone4. I tried to update my iphone4 to 7.1.1 through iTunes at last stage of firmware upgrading its showing an error occurred error (16). I checked in internet error16 is purely hardware issue before my phone is very good condition in iOS6.1.3 no problem with my phone, But after upgrading to how it will be hardware issues. why Apple engineers are not testing properly their software’s before releasing great updates to customers now my phone is out of warranty and I can’t use it anymore just showing iTunes symbol and charger on the screen while on/off showing apple logo. From the past September there is no proper solution for error 16. Don’t know what these people are doing about that error why apple is crashing customer phones by releasing useless update to phones what is the point of buying such a expensive phones don't know what to do with this phone. Tried many possible ways
Tried: presing home+power button at 95% of firmware update
          Disconnected battery and restored
          used DrPhone to restart
          tried to restore old version 7.x.x
          no luck.
          used new original cables
          restored with Macbook
          tried to restore in 3 Different computers and so many times but no luck

Hi, to get your iPhone 4 back to normal, here're two ways for you.
1. Use Dr.Fone for iOS. The free trial version can fix iPhone screen of death. The free trial version can do that, you don't have to pay.
Just download and install this software on your computer and connect your iPhone 4 to computer with a USB cable. When it detects your iPhone 4 is abnormal, click Restart the device to get your iPhone 4 to be normal.
2. Use iTunes to fix it.
Step 1. Make sure that the latest iTunes is installed on your computer.
Step 2. Plug into a USB cable to connect your iPhone4 to computer.
Step 3. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time for about 10s.
Step 4. 10 seconds later, release the sleep/wake button. But continue to hold the home button until a message comes out, saying "iTunes has discovered an iPhone 4 in recovery mode, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
Step 5. Click your iPhone 4 in the left sidebar to show the device control panel on the right. Then, click Summary.
Step 6. Go to Backups section and click Restore Backup.... In the drop-down list, choose a backup file and restore to your iPhone 4

MSI CR52-A2 Firmware upgraded ( MR!!! and better media support )

Here is a solution for many people's problems with slow burning CR52-A2
Thanks to clarkkent57
I found this -
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=15157&highlight=msi
which suggests the CR52-A2 is the same drive as the optorite CW5205.
http://www.optorite.com/firmware.htm is the firmware page.
I just finished flashing my drive with the following.
CW5205(52x24x52) 190E017_cw5205.zip 2003.9.2
My New Optorite CW5205 has Mt. Rainer support.
It also recognizes all brands of media at the correct speed.
For the very first time, in more than a year of owning MSI 48x or 52x CDRW,
I was able to burn a CD at more than 32x.
It burned a CD at 52x without any problems.
Personally I don't recommend that anyone update firmware unless absolutely necessary.
Updating Firmware with a different companies firmware's is generally a BIG no no.
It worked for me, and has worked for other people, but you take a risk of making your hardware into a paperweight.
OPTORITE managed to updated their drives FOUR MONTHS AGO!
Why hasn't MSI updated their firmware?
BTW,
Optorite also has an even new version 210e017.zip dated 2003.12.26
190E worked for me so I didn't bother trying the newer version.

Old thread but thought those with the drive might be interested.
I just flashed 210E017 and worked for me as well. Seems quicker in all operations.
Sweeet!

Update to iphoto 9.4.2 and subsequent loss of edits

So I restored from time machine into a folder I put in applications .. deleted the plist file, repaired disk permissions with disk utility and on start up with option key pressed pointed iphoto to the backed up library in a folder in the applications folder, finally got it working with edits restored .. shocking that a update from 9.1.5 (if I remember correctly) could cause such a fault .. but anyway ... now I want to get this working library back into the pictures folder, (less than 20 gb), so I have copied the one that had lost the edits or ability to show them? in the pictures folder to a back up drive (just to be safe) and then moved the iPhotos folder in pictures to trash, now when I try to migrate the working iPhotos library i had restored from time machine into the pictures folder all I get is a alias showing, how can I move the actual iPhoto folder (the pretty red one with flowers showing) back into the pictures folder and will it still work when I start iPhoto again I guess with option pushed on start up, and point it back to this same iPhoto library file? hopefully now showing in pictures and working .. just like the fun old times before I pushed the dreaded update button …. thanks

They show the edits when in the folder within the Applications folder, right. It sounds like a permisisons issue. Therefore, apply the fix:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Sslect Option #1.

RE1000: 1. Firmware upgrade and strange issues. 2. WPS 'on' despite being clearly disabled

1. WPS shows 'on' in the RE1000's web status page even though it shows disabled in the wireless security page!
2. The unit seemed to be acting up multiple times ("attempting to connect" or whatever the exact message is) in the middle of both the firmware upgrade to 1.0.01 and the subsequent firmware downgrade to 1.0.00
Luckily it did NOT get bricked!
It also at times would just stop responding or redirect to to the erouter page, despite clearly being in the RE1000 web admin pages and clicking wireless survery links etc.!
Bizarre!
It may be that it needed rebooting / resetting, but it happened during the first upgrade.
3. It also said 'authentication / authorization failed' when I attempted to manually connect to my AP in the 'Site Survey' screen. However, when I then go to 'WLAN statistics' it shows Status: Associated anyway.
Bizarre!
Has anyone else seen any of this?

What is the make and the model number of your router? The RE1000 is meant to extend the range of an 802.11n network. If attempting to extend the signal for a traditional 802.11g router you will not achieve the desired performance because it is not optimized to extend standard 802.11G signals.
So if you are using n-technology router I suggest you to reconfigure the RE1000..
Here is the link for the configuration of the RE1000

I am using Linksys's own E4200 which is their current top of the line consumer router (802.11n 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 450 MBps on 5 GHz).
Thanks for the suggestion, but my RE1000 has been configured perfectly since the beginning.
I also do not have WPS enabled (although the one screen says it is while the other setup screen clearly shows it is off) and other than the flashing light (and strange behavior / bugs), it works nicely as far as the actual intended functionality is concerned.
I had the same flashing light issue with my E4200 router, which Cisco finally acknowledged was an issue on their end (which I was convinced all along given how many others had the same exact issue) and which they fixed in the latest E4200 firmware (1.0.03) - see release notes.
I suspect the RE1000 has a similar code defect (bug) that happens under a specific set of circumstances (which explains why not all owners are affected).
Hopefully they will address it soon.

T410i SSD user and master password problem after firmware upgrade

Hello.
I have problem with my Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD. After firmware upgrade of SSD my master and user HDD passwords are no longer valid. I'm stuck on BIOS screen and cannot unlock my SSD. After firmware upgrade procedure i got BSOD. Same happened during firmware upgrade on my previous SSD (INTEL X25-M 80GB) but after restart everything was OK. Please help!
Previous firmware version: 1.3
Current firmware version: 1.3.3
SSD connected to another computer shows RAW partition data, but firmware version is 1.3.3 - seems like update was successful.

My X301 Intel x18 got bricked also after a BIOS update then secure erase (was going to sell it). I plugged it to a USB kit and onto a desktop and it was recognised and able to format. But plugging it back to the lenovo it is still a brick. My lucky star there was warranty it was replaced by lenovo.
You may want to try it and extract the data, if it works. And hopefully you can still format it and made it work pluggin back to the lenovo.

My BB 8520 won't connect via USB after the firmware upgrade

Hi,
All was working fine until I followed the upgrade prompts. The 'phone works but a) it won't accept Opera Mini 5.1 (which was in the 'phone already) and b) I cannot connect to the PC via the USB cord.
What happened?
This 'phone shares the same SIM card with 3 Nokias (E72, E90, E62) and I've never had firmware upgrade problems with them - in Symbian OS.,
Any ideas?
Regards, Douglas
L. Douglas Henderson - ARTCRAFT Music Rolls
EDIT: Link Removed. Please review User Guidelines under section "No spam please."

Hi, again -
Just downloaded Bolt and I like it also. (No more zooming: whoopee!)
Never heard of this browser before, having used Opera Mini/Mobile (depending upon the 'phone) since 2004. Was on E-Mails for cell 'phones dating back to 1997, coast to coast: primitive service back then! [Rarely did I use the default browser on any 'phone I've had, including Motorola and Palm before Nokia.]
Bolt loaded faster than Opera Mini 5.1 did on my Nokias and the Blackberry 8520: amazing!
Now my "not as good as a Nokia with Symbian" handset is useful again. The firmware upgrade did improve the videos and the links to them, so it was a GAIN SOME FEATURES and LOSE SOME FEATURES firmware upgrade.
Probably Opera will have a link for the Blackberry 5 platform, eventually. The problem, I think, was that the link only worked with three versions of their 4 edition.
You have made my day!
Thanks.
Regards, Douglas
PS: Not until the Nokia E90 Communicator was off the market for a year or so, did Opera put out a Mobile browser which functioned on it. The Communicator - in a variety of versions - had a 12 year run in Finland, something of a record for handsets in this field. For Word .docs, fast typing and office style activities, it's hard to beat. (You can't wear one in your pocket if the garment is Spandex, of course.) The music on the E90 is loud and good; with the wireless aux. speakers it rivals a portable stereo, so I use it for that purpose much of the time, even when off-line.

X4600m2 bios/ilom firmware upgrade problem

In the X4600m2 downloads, under Software 2.3, in the firmware category, I downloaded ILOM-3_0_3_31_r42822-Sun_Fire_X4600M2.ima (md5 checks out). I can't install the new firmware however (using the ILOM cli):
-> load -source tftp://172.22.95.215/ILOM-3_0_3_31_r42822-Sun_Fire_X4600M2.ima
NOTE: A firmware upgrade will cause the server and ILOM to
      be reset. It is recommended that a clean shutdown of
      the server be done prior to the upgrade procedure.
      An upgrade takes about 6 minutes to complete. ILOM
      will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No
      other tasks can be performed in ILOM until the
      firmware upgrade is complete and ILOM is reset.
Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)? y
Do you want to preserve the configuration (y/n)? n
Image is not for this platform.
Firmware image update failed.
->With all previous releases this worked fine.
Update: the upgrade on the ILOM web interface also fails.
I'm running this version currently:

Avoiding Firmware Upgrade Grief

Assuming that you have a non-UDP (User Data Preservation) phone, like the N95, a firmware upgrade can be a major thrash. Many posts in this forum attest to these problems, but they continue to occur, in part because of inadequate instructions.
Here are some thoughts that might be helpful:
1) FIRST: Ask yourself "WHY am I doing this?" If your aren't looking for any specific fix that you KNOW the firmware upgrade will address, then at least admit that you are possibly doing it "just because it's there." For those of us who have no other Everest in sight, that might be sufficient reason. But, it is a violation of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" maxim. I know you know.
2) SECOND: If you are still going to do this, make the appropriate backups. Plural. In spite of the rather glib advice on the firmware upgrade screen, backups to your Memory Card are NOT/NOT equivalent to those made with Nokia PC Suite. I'll explain why in a bit. Sure, go ahead and do both, but the Nokia PC Suite backup is the (only) one that will be likely to get you out of the woods. And that, only partially.
a. Backups to a Memory Card give you NO CONTROL over what is backed up OR restored. It's all or nothing, and sometimes what's included in "All" is just enough to trash your newly-updated phone.
b. Backups with Nokia PC Suite allow YOU to CHOOSE both what you want to backup and restore. So, backup everything if you like, but realize that you NOT successfully restore a highly customized system in one fell swoop after a firmware upgrade. But you CAN get back the essentials (if you have made the backups). By "essentials," I mean user-created data that you could not recreate easily or at all (contacts, messages, etc.). I do NOT mean specific applications, which you should be able to reinstall separately.
c. What about all of those Nokia Maps locations? Go to your Landmarks application, select every one you might ever want to see again, and then SEND them to another compatible Nokia phone via Infrared. Save them all on the second phone (you can reverse the process to get them back on your main phone). Wait: You are thinking about a firmware upgrade and have no comparably functional backup phone? Please reread item 1) above
d. Did you have to do any MANUAL configuration of Packet Data Access Points? I did before I could get my N95 to work as a modem for other devices. Write those details down somewhere. You'll need them. Same for WPA encryption keys and SSIDs. Consider putting this info in the fields of one of your contacts, so you can later use cut/paste to enter your encryption keys for your APs.
e. Make a list of every purchased application you have currently installed, even if you don't intend on using them again. Make sure you have product registration codes available. You'll need them.
Attempts to do an overly-comprehensive restore after firmware upgrade can cause serious problems such as loss of both 3G and WiFi data connectivity. That should be enough to get anyone's attention. It got mine after the fact! If you make careful, incremental backups of crucial information and are willing to be patient, you can eventually get your system back the way you want it.
3) BACKUPS all done? Too bad Nokia provides no verification process outside of the PC Suite log, but it usually works well-enough without it.
4) UPGRADE your firmware. Follow all of the advice and cautions but don't believe the part about a backup to your SD card being remotely adequate. It might be, but most likely only if you have very little customization and no or few third-party apps.
5) NEXT: Get your basic settings (time, date, etc) right.
6) THEN: Connect to PC Suite and RESTORE only your Contacts and Text Messages. Confirm that all restored.
7) NOW: Insert your SD card and IMMEDIATELY set your own PW for the card (if you had previously removed it). If you had applications on the SD card, some might work, others won't, and you'll probably get an "Installing" message followed by an error message to the effect that the applications could not be installed. Ignore the message to try to restore them yourself from the card. Don't (usually) bother to try to remove them, either, as that often doesn't work.
8) THEN: Recreate your WiFi connections and (if your provider-issued APs aren't right) your Packet Data APs. Make sure they work. Test by using your browser. No point trying to install products which require working data connections as part of the install process (e.g., gMail, Truphone) before confirming that such connections are available.
9) ALMOST DONE: Start reinstalling all of your prior applications. I suggest (if you have the choice) that you put them where they were before (SD Card or internal phone memory). If there are any you want to ditch, go back and remove them after first reinstalling them. That tends to get rid of the nagging "Installing" message.
10) FINALLY: Take it slowly, and set priorities. Put your essential apps on first, and remember that much of your customization probably took place over a period of days, weeks or months. Cumulatively, that might represent hours of tweaking. Re-tweaking will take no less time. Spread some of it out for your own sanity.
What have I forgotten? Probably plenty, and I'm sure someone else might be able to provide other, equally valid approaches, or suggestions which complement those offered above.

Very useful post. However I have to say that all those steps are necessary even if you have a FP2 phone with UDP. From my experience all that UDP does is to screw up your phone even more after a firmware upgrade. It's always better to start with a clean slate anyway

Can't configure Airport Express after firmware upgrade 6.2.

I have an Airport Extreme (V5.6) and I recently upgraded my Aiport Express to firmware 6.2. I was using the Express to extend my range and attach to my stereo for iTunes. I went out of town and took the Airport Express with me to use in my hotel rooms. Everything was fine. When I returned and I re-attached the Airport Express to the system at home, it said there was a firmware upgrade, so I went ahead and did the upgrade. Since that time, iTunes has not been able to recognize the Express. It tries, but cannot find it. I then tried to reconfigure the Aiport Express but i get an error message "An error occurred while attempting to communicate with the AirPort Express. (-8)". Does anybody have a solution. I'm afraid to update the Base Station firmware for fear that I might run into the same problem. I'm running an aluminum Powerbook G4(1.25 ghz).

Hi,
I don't really know the solution, but the Airport Express firmware is now at 6.3. Maybe you should use this latest one to see what's happen...

N97 cannot use as modem after firmware upgrade

Hi, sorry if this is a repeat post but driven to distraction.
I use my N97 as a modem to connect to the internet from my laptop when I'm away from home. Since upgrading the firmware I cannot connect through 1 touch access or direct through dial up.
When attempting to connect through 1 touch I get as far as connecting device and then I get the message "Failed to connect device".
I have removed the modem through internet properties and reinstalled PC Suite (after using PC suite cleaner). I am running windows 7 but was connecting through 7 before the firmware upgrade.
Now I'm at a loss. Anyone got any ideas?

Saw another post here that said they make a completely new network with a different name and it worked. I decided to give it a try and it actually did work!!! Don't have any clue why but I don't really care since my network is running again.

RVS4000 firmware upgrade to ver 2.0.3.2

Hello,
I have firmware version 2.0.2.7. I've down loaded the firmware upgrade utility ver 1.3, and do not see a read me or help file. I've disconnected the cables as directed, but recive a 'broadcast error' and a 'browse device error' What is causing this?
Curtis

Hi Curtis, the firmware upgrade should be done through the GUI of the RVS4000. If you're able to log in to the device, the upgrade is under admin -> firmware upgrade, then just browse the file and upload it.

XServe RAID firmware upgrade - ASCII identifier

Got called into a situation where files & folders stored on an XServe RAID were disappearing and appearing randomly, not only from the client standpoint, but while looking at the XServe RAID volume on the XServe, as well.
Turned out to be file system corruption that Disk Utility couldn't repair. DiskWarrior seemingly was able to fix it. Ran Disk Utility afterward and it reported no errors. And all the files and folders appear to be there (from the XServe).
However, now the problem is that when a user mounts the main sharepoint, she can only see 15 of the 37 folders. Other sharepoints only show a fraction of the number of "real" folders that should be there. The folders that are missing are at the end of the list alphabetically. Logging in as admin user shows the same behavior.
Redid permissions with Workgroup Manager. No help.
My suspicion is that it may have something to do with the RAID controller firmware. They been running with RAID Admin tools 1.3.2 since it came out, and everything has been fine. However, everywhere I've read emphasizes how important it is it keep the RAID controller firmware updated.
The reason they haven't updated the firmware (to 1.3.2-1.26) is that the Sys Admin there believes that it will mess up the half of the XServe RAID that is serving a Windows 2003 server (his baby). The specific line that terrifies him is:
"- INQUIRY page 0x83 response ASCII Identifier string cleaned up and Identifier EUI-64 replaced with NAA-64"
I just don't have enough server experience to know what that means, nor have my online searches turned up anything.
Can anyone explain what the ramifications of this sentence from the ReadMe are? Is there any reason to suspect that after the firmware upgrade, the Windows server will no longer recognize it's half of the XServe RAID?

Okay, I've solved the problem.
Basically, the issue was that the lower controller wasn't seated right despite it showing a green light in RAID Admin. When I went to visually inspect it, I noticed that despite what RAID Admin 1.5.1 claimed, its light wasn't even on, let alone green. And since the lower controller handles slots 8-14 of an Xserve RAID and my slots 8-14 are totally unpopulated (empty) at the moment, it was never noticed. Now that I've reseated the lower controller, everything is visually showing green across the board and the firmware upgrade is proceeding as expected and it has upgraded the firmware from 1.3.2/1.26a to 1.5.1/1.5.1c complete with autorestart of both upper and lower controller modules.
Basic lesson learned: RAID Admin lies. If possible, visually inspect the box itself!
Thanks to all who responded.

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.5 and find that the "burn" to CD function is found nowhere. Anyone else have this problem?

I recetly upgraded to iPhoto 9.5 and find that the "burn" function is not available. Has anyone else run into this issue and if so, what did you find? I know that one can burn from the "FInder" but I still want to burn in the iPhoto format.

It's been removed as Apple is no longer adding optical drives to it's computers. So to burn photos (not iPhoto compatible mini libraries) to a disk you need to export them to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export and burn that folder to disk via the Finder.
iPhoto 9.5 will not natively read disks created by previous versions.
The following is from this Apple document which describes how to convert the mini libraries on those disks so iPhoto can view them: iPhoto 9.5: Using iPhoto libraries saved to CD or DVD
iPhoto 9.5: Using iPhoto libraries saved to CD or DVD
Learn how to use iPhoto libraries that you saved to CD or DVD in earlier versions of iPhoto.
In iPhoto 9.5 you can use an earlier iPhoto library that you saved to CD or DVD. To do this, first copy the library to your hard drive. Then:
If your iPhoto library on your CD or DVD was created in iPhoto 8.0 or later, iPhoto 9.5 can upgrade your library when you double-click to open it.
If your iPhoto library on your CD or DVD was created in iPhoto 7.0 or earlier, you will first need to use the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to prepare it for iPhoto 9.5.
UPDATE: Just went thru the process and the iPhoto Library Upgrader converted the library into a working library that iPhoto could open. However, if you want to import any of those photos into your working library you'll have to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy the Events or album you want from the converted library into your working library. An extra 2 steps that we didn't have to do previously.
