I need my password firmware upgrade to el capitan
Several years ago, I added a password for the firmware as a way to prevent attacks of firewire on my filevault but it was several years ago, and I have no idea what it was. Will it take this password to update my OS or just my admin password?
You must disable the Firmware password using the same version of operating system used when it was created. Don't forget to turn off FileVault. You don't need the Firmware password if it is no longer necessary. However, if it is still in use then you cannot pass unless you know the password. However, it seems as if the password is no longer active or in use, so it does not interfere with the upgrade.

LaserJet 500 color M551: Firmware upgrade - go directly or perform step-upgrade?
I need to update the firmware on my printer (LaserJet 500 color M551). I'm new to support printers and it's the first printer, I need to update firmware on a client. The firmware is version 2302908_435020. I need to upgrade to 2307851_000057. There are about 4 or 5 versions between my current version and the latest version.
Anyone know if I can go straight to the latest version or do I need to a stage-setting day? I don't want to break anything if the versions break problem.
Thank you.
As far as I know:
- Each version of firmware includes usually all fixes in previous versions of incremental firmware.
- You can get the latest version of the firmware on the HP site - for your printer, it's the 2307851_000057 version you mentioned.
I advise you to download and read the README file for this update of the firmware.

BEFSR81 Firmware Upgrade Gone Bad?
Just putchased a new BEFSR81 router. Using the installation CD, I got it Setup and works very well. Then, I went to the support of Linksys and found page a more recent version of the firmware. My version is 2.51.4. I downloaded the 2.51.4.6 version and installed. I made sure to choose the version for my model 3.1. He appeared to install OK, because I got the message that it was for the page in 5 seconds. Now I can't go to the web-based configuration page. I can ping 192.168.1.1 and get a normal response, but by entering that address in my browser just times out. I turned off the router and even held the reset for 30 seconds, but don't can't go in the web-based configuration page.
This router is now watered? Do I need to send it back?
Thanks for any help on this.

After restart of the firmware upgrade
Hi, I need to update the firmware on my controllers PS6100 EqualLogic.
I found the instructions on how to do it and everything seems straight forward to do so via the GUI.
I noticed there is a necessary restart after the firmware has been applied. Does this mean I have to gracefully shutdown the virtual machines running on my SAN LUNS? My iSCSI connections will be closed/broken during the restart of the post firmware upgrade?
Thank you, Oliver.
Hello Oliver,.
In the same area download notes firmware and release is another PDF, entitled ' iSCSI initiator and optimize your SAN environment for high availability operating system considerations ", which includes some key parameters that will allow your computers virtual and servers through the failover time. It is important that not only the Firmware update, but in the case of an unexpected failure due to a failure of CM.
More if you use VMware ESXi, there is a best practices PDF for that as well. In addition to better manage the failover, these changes have shown to improve performance as well.
The Tech report TR1091 is available here:
http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/Extras/m/white_papers/20434601/download
Changes for Windows and the knots of ESXi virtual machines will require a reboot to take effect.
What version of firmware you are at, and what version you are migrating towards?
Other things I always propose updates is to ensure that both controllers are plugged in your switch and in the VLAN correct. Since assets CM are failed over to the passive, support gets much advertising is unable to access the storage after firmware update. Or ports of the day before were not in the VLAN correct, or individuals with disabilities, etc...
It is for these reasons that personally I prefer to do the updates via the serial port CLI. The process is more talkative, and if something should go wrong, you need the serial port of some sort. Since the installation and tested in advance is a huge time saver. Here, we use serial mux so that all array controllers are easily accessible.
Kind regards

You can upgrade directly. The release notes says:

later, you must upgrade your firmware of the phone to an intermediate version (8.3 (3) 8.5 (2)), then
9.3 upgrade 1.
In your case, you are already using 9.2(1S) and 8.5(3s)

SGE2010 - Firmware upgrade and config does not save
Hi all
I have a few questions, but ill start with what im trying to achieve.
With the help of the EMS 2010 for Microsoft NAP with 802.1 x auth for access to the switch, which has led to some questions
What I have: an EMS 2010 48 port switch firmware 3.0.0.17
Firmware update: to ensure im not having not problems due to the old firmware, I tried to upgrade using ros_ls1_bp_ge_bx - 3020.ros to 3.0.2, by downloading the file through TFTP, the transfer is complete and that's all, nothing happens.
Restarting the device: as part of the upgrade process, I thought I might restart, so I rebooted and found that all my settings were cleaned, as if a reset occurred... and add further pain, the backup of the settings I had taken do not appear to introduce themselves with a new request.
NAP support: so I tested my server NPS (RADIUS) with NTRadping.exe and everything is good, however I can't the SGE2010 to talk to it... the authenticator State in the web interface is still listed as initializing... I'm not sure if it is a simple mismatch (where the attempt of a firmware upgrade), a tag that should be on the side of RADIUS or switch misconfig.
So, in summary:
(1) how the hell you upgrade the firmware?
(2) why are none of my saved settings to restart the device?
(3) if anyone one of them puts up with PAN and has all wisdom of bone beads, let me know.
Hi Ben, once you update the firmware, you need to go to the active image, apply the second image. Restart the unit. Regarding the configuration of switch, you must save the configuration running at startup configuration
Admin-> file management-> copy files (running at startup)

BDX4350KB Wifi adapter and firmware upgrade doesn't work do not
It is a sequel to my earlier question about if the WLM-20U2 Wifi adapter will work in my blu - ray player.
After buying the adapter I plugged it and a message 'not supported', if I tried to connect wireless it says there was no an adapter connected.
So I assumed that this necessary upgrade, so I formatted a 1 Gb USB drive with the FAT file system, downloaded the file level (version 39 http://www.dl.toshiba.com/player/NA/GB/EN/BDX4350KB.html) and copied the file .bin on the USB.
When I plugged into the player and said to check the disk for a file to update it tells me that "frontend file is not found"... There was only one file to download, and it wasn't in a folder so I guess I'm supposed to just copy that file on the USB drive.
I checked the USB port with a memory stick with photos on and it works fine.
How to get the upgrade to work in the hope that it will enable the wifi adapter to work?
Thank you

I ended up cosing it down on them, but too late for me. They had frozen my computer and now it needs a password that I don't have to open it up. Can it be fixed? How? Thanks in advance for any help.

David suggestion given in link Reo has been good. It applies to your Windows 8.1 also, but I suggest you use system recovery console refresh option so that most of the files and settings are retained after the repair facility & you start Windows like new.
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/26095-repair-install-Windows-8-a.html
But I see that you used the built in HARD drive recovery partition to restore to factory settings. You could go to cooling initially system as try here also. Happy anyway, he started to work for you!
Please let us know
Kind regards

Hi jsteveh,
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.
I understand that the mailbox of your Mac becomes offline at random times. I suggest the mail connection doctor to see if there is any problem with your computer to communicate with the mail running server.
Take care.

I'm running on snow leopard and upgrade to el capitan. If I just update without backup (because I have no external HARD disk) data will generally be safe / normal after all as we updated iOS iPhone via OTA or need to recover the data again whenever we have updated to Mac OS?
If all goes to plan, your data will be safe. At times things go bad for a backup is indispensable if you value your data.
Ciao.

200 d IOmega IX4 Firmware upgrade failure
Hello
I have an IX4 - 200 d which I inherited. Initially, it wouldn't boot and display only the symbols of USB stick/network after about 60 seconds.
With some searching on Google, I created a boot disk USB with the firmware updated on this issue. All goes well until the Firmware upgrade begins. I go to the step of (what I assume is) the upgrade of the firmware and it gets 75%, hold for 5 seconds and then the machine stops.
I tried to repeat the update of the firmware with all the drives present, with every other drive in the first slot and with all the disconnected drives. But it seems to behave in the same way.
Is this a known issue? Or could it be a hardware failure?
I'm pretty eager to find a solution - it takes a long time for me to accept defeat.
The only other suggestion that suggested Dr. Google is to start linux and reformat the hard drive?
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards
Pete
Hi André,.
This case can be closed.
After the above mentioned procedure eventually work, I didn't know that - ALL readers should be present and formatted during an attempt of USB firmware update / install.
The link again on the forum - http://forum.nas-central.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4401
This seems to be the only solution.
