Impossible to update firmware on mac mini without CD

I'm unable to update firmware on mac mini without cd-rom.

I tried to burn iso image to USB via disk utility, but folowwing error:

"Unable to validate the source - invalid argument.

Can you provide iso correct or dmg that can be used with the mac disk utility as seems that I don't have a way to upgrade the ssd firmware now?

P.S. I tried unetbootin on win and mac, tried to copy the iso contents with dd in terminal but mac still do not see my USB stick on the charge.

After dozens of solutions on I finally took ssd at my mini mac, put it in the HP laptop with cd-rom, update firmware and restore mini. Thank you apple for sucky usb support and sandisk for silence loading...

    How can I boot from a USB key instead?

    Basically, my Mac Mini hard drive has been corrupted and would start to a blank screen. So I took it for repairs, and they said that the HARD disk has been corrupted. I have a Macbook Pro with a Time Machine backup on a 1 to USB Drive.

    Yes, but it's going to be very slow at the time at startup and the launch of the App that contain large libraries.

    Could not start at this Time Machine backup?

    No, the Time Machine backups are not bootable.

    If this isn't the case, I should new installation El Capitan on this USB key?

    You could, but he not was not done correctly it would your Time Machine backup in danger.

    All this work will be or what I need to install a HARD drive internal?

    Install a new HARD drive would be by far the best option.

    A new external hard drive would be the second best option.

    However, it is impossible to give you a strong Adviser without knowing exactly what model of Mac Mini, you...?

    Reason is as mentioned above, a USB 2.0 external hard drive would be very slow and you would do much better with an external hard drive FireWire, USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt according to which ports are a your Mac Mini.

  • Impossible to update firmware (CM1410) 20131028 - no RFU on Service menu CM1415fnw

    I have trouble to update the firmware of my printer.

    Model CM1415fnw

    Type of connection without wire/Hello

    Service ID 21094

    FW Version 2010-11-25.

    Driver HP LaserJet CM1415fnw 1.0 Version

    Product number CE862A

    I am connected via a MacBook with OS X 10.9.2. I have Parallels Desktop 9 installed under Windows XP.

    I downloaded and installed the latest driver for my computer.

    HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fn color MFP series Full Software Solution - OS X 10.9 Mavericks2014-01-31, V...

    I downloaded the Mac firmware update. File name: CM1410_MFP_Series_FW_Update - 20131028.dmg [1/1, 48.86 M] Version 20131028. When I try to run the update of the firmware on Mac, I get the error message "cannot open"HP Firmware Updater". You must eject the disk image. "Preferences | Security | Allow applications downloaded from anywhere. I tried to download the update several times, in the event that a download has been altered. Did not help.

    I downloaded the firmware from the Windows Update. File name: CM1410_MFP_Series_FW_Update - 20131028.exe [1/1, 12.12 M] Version 20131028. When I run the update of the firmware in Windows, the "HP LaserJet Professional CM1410 MFP Series Firmware Updater 20131028" program runs in a window. I am able to choose my printer "HP LaserJet CM1415fnw (41 d 33)". I click on the Firmware 'send '. The 'Progress' bar shows the progression up to the end. I click on "Exit". But nothing happens on the side of the printer. And the firmware information remains the same.

    Hi frustrat10n,

    I understand that you can not update the firmware of the printer.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    There is no RFU on this printer. Just continue.

    I checked the site and it is not an update of the firmware that you can run on 10.9.

    I would say for temporarily, connect the USB cable and try upgrading the firmware on a PC or a computer with 10.8 or less.

    It might work if you are using bootcamp on side windows, but probably not by parallels.

    Why do you need to update the firmware of the printer?

    You have problems?

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a great weekend!

  • Update Firmware Pro Mac 2006

    I have a Mac Pro in 2006 with the original Xenon dual-core processors running 10.7.5. Apple's site explains the EFI firmware appropriate for that must be MP11.005C.B08.  My system information lists my version of BootROM as MP11.005D.B00. I downloaded the installer; However, when I open it, it says that my Mac does not need this update? Can someone please explain this to me? Should I make a newer version than B08?  If I need this update, is there a way to perform the update? Thank you.

    Most likely implementation:

    1. MP came from the factory with already installed update.
    2. Someone installed the update.
  • Impossible to update firmware or to TRIM on Solid State Drive

    I installed an SSD of 530 Intel via the SATA port on my Dell Dimension 8300 and downloaded the Intel Toolbox. He tells me that my system is in IDE mode, and so I can't update the firmware. Without an update, I can't run the TRIM function. I have the version of the BIOS A03 and I can't find a switch for IDE/AHCI mode. Can anyone help? DM

    There is a BIOS A07 you can try, but this system is about ten years and was one of the first systems to support SATA.  Many of them were built with SATA to IDE bridges, which means that they are not capable of real operation SATA AHCI - if this option is not there in A07, this means that your system cannot run in real mode SATA because of the architecture of bridge.

    Windows 7 and upwards is no need for TRIM - only XP and do it earlier, so if you don't have XP, it's yet another reason to get rid of it and upgrade (the other is support for XP ended on April 9, 2014, so there will be new updates of security for her).

  • RE6500 impossible to update firmware

    Hi all

    I scanned this forum but could not find anything related to my question. I took a glance at my years around 2 old RE6500 and it seems to work on the old firmware v1.01.01. FTR, Extender has been setup and works somewhat OK for awhile now.

    I have "connected to extender via CAT5 cable and tried to update its firmware to the latest version using the web INTERFACE. This unfortunately does not work. It looks like, it begins to download a .bin file but then stops at 1%. Progress bar never moves either. I waited for a long time and then restarted, it and there is no trace of the new firmware on it. Try with tftp.exe he had just timeout as well. I'm on Windows 10 here. Tried the update it several times with Chrome and IE11 does not. This is the first time what stock firmware has refused to be updated like that for me.

    I would be grateful for any help or suggestion. Thank you.

    Hi, SM05! Try to Flash the firmware on this link. You can also use another computer to isolate this challenge. If the same thing happens, reset the range extender and try to update the firmware again.

  • Impossible to update firmware H310

    As the title says, I can't update my card H310 raid with this firmware:

    Reference Dell PERC H310 Adapter Firmware version 20.13.2 - 0006

    If im using it says my system is not supported for windows and Linux, he just spits it;

    and then nothing happens.

    I tried several different computers with attached disks and not attached to the controller.

    In fact I just managed to update my latest firmware A10 H310 card using this guide which has a download link to all the necessary files in a convenient zip. :)

    Edit: darn it looks like I'm not allowed to post links, so just do a google for 'come back your Perc H310 to its firmware Dell' and you can find good WordPress blog.

  • Impossible to update CS5 on Mac

    Whenever I run Adobe Application Manager and you try to update all apps in my CS5 Design Premium it runs for a while, but it shows then:

    Another question, some Mp3 files appear on the "rocket" but do not play. The "rocket" ignores the files about 50 who play very well on the computer. Why is this?

    The Zip file is not specific to the platform. The way I unzipped stuff on my old Mac OS (granted, I was using the old OS 9, so it may be different for you) was using StuffIt Expander. If you do it this way, you should be fine.

  • Transfer of Final Cut Pro 7 to a Mac Mini

    I had the Final Cut Pro 7 on my MacBook Pro Classic, run OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks, for a couple of years.  I can't update my MacBook Pro because FCP 7 will not work with Yosemite or El Capitan.  I want to upgrade my MacBook Pro, but I want to keep 7 FCP.  A family friend gave me his old Mac Mini running OS x 10.6 Snow Leopard, so I was wondering if I could transfer my data on to the Mac Mini without losing my license for FCP 7.  Is this something that can be done with the Migration Wizard?

    You cannot migrate the program... applications. The ones you need to install from the original DVD. Because there are everywhere in the system and the library of components this Migration Wizard enter. So, you must install and update fresh.  Project files themselves can be copied on the fine.

  • Updated Mac Mini to Sierra - no sound

    After update to Sierra my sound doesn't work internal speaker or headphones.  However, I can send her out to airplay, and the sound from my HDMI.  So I know that my sound is not working.

    I can do the headphones work, when I unplug the HDMI.  However, selection of helmets in results in no output sound settings.

    Note: I tried all settings (for example the helmet as selection, airplay, HDMI, etc.).  I unplugged the HDMI, started to work in the sound, and then plugged headphones in HDMI and headsets leave to new and no setting will restore the sound in the headphones.  I even deleted the sound configuration files, played with the bits, MIDI and other parameters.

The good news is these steps will be useful in resolving your problem of sound from the headphones and speaker plug internal and get your Mac Mini is working again!

  • How can I keep an iPhoto library, update on two Macs without copying the entire library every time?

    Sorry if this has been asked several times before, I looked but could not find an answer to my specific questions...

    Currently, I keep my iPhoto on two different Macs library by periodically copy the package to the main computer entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then loading into iPhoto on the second machine.

    The problem is that it takes a lot of time and I find myself doing less, which means that I am often without recent photos I want to join the second Mac. Is there a way to copy only the new pictures/videos added since the last copy was made on the hard drive, which I can then add to the library on the second machine without replacing the entire library?

    I was wondering if it was possible to use the software of incremental backup to backup on the external drive that I could then use to update the second mac. In this case would be that I have to replace the entire library on the second mac every time, but at least it would be a faster process that also copy entire library since the first mac in the first place.

    Or I can just select the most recent photos and videos in iPhoto and batch export via the external hard drive to the second mac? I think I read that this is not copy all information such as good changes? Or am I wrong?

    If none of this is possible in the way that I'm demanding, could someone suggest an alternative photo storage software for Mac that I can have more control on?

    Yes, you can use an incremental backup or clone (like Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper) program for updating the second library - this will not libraries merge in order to not do that is you make changes to the second library on this machine - it only makes library 2 exactly as 1 library each time that you run
