Although the release says the update is for build 1000 and everyone else, it appears that part of the update has not been released. We are still waiting for that part of the update to be released. Therefore, this update is more for the Mini and Gypsy but this release notes will apply to the E2 as soon as it has been released. The E2 can now work with CCR BUT not the G as it is still in the making!!

Yes! Especially if you have a Gypsy everyone should update so we hopefully will not get the black screen of death which makes our G inoperable. Also, since you have a Mini then in order to get your Mini to work with your G, then you need to update. I am about to try the update for my G! :)

Thanks Mercy,
I will update the E2 now. I already tested the Mini and the Gypsy and they work fine :)

YAAAAYYYYYYY!!!! Now, if Fedex will bring me my Mini, then I will be dancing right along with you. lol Did you update the Mini via CCR?

Let us know if your E2 is saying that it is updated.

No linky, no spendy!! That is cute!! They are close!

When you are trying to sync, what is on the screen? What is your processor in your MAC?

OK all, E2 went smoothly. numbers say 0065;0017;0240 Does that sound about right??? On to the Gypsy!!

Before PC closes, call them as they close in 45 minutes and let us know the outcome.

I have the firmware 1000. I only really know this because when I called support a couple weeks ago they walked be through the steps to check. Then they basically told me about the update and to keep checking back for it.

I don't know if I even did the right thing. Basically, I went to cricut sync and followed the pc install steps. I hit run, it did it's thing, and then said "Your Circut device is not attached to the computer or not turned on. Plug it in and turn it on to continue using CricutSync."

I have Windows 7.

Explorer

IE 8 or IE 9 and is it in compatibility mode?

This is nice and all but how about the option to cut the E2 Anniversary Pre-loaded carts with my gypsy. It would be great if you went back and fixed the older items instead of starting new things and fixing things that were introduced after the E2 Anniversary.


UGHHH PC you are really turning me off your brand. I spent my afternoon looking at different machines. It irks me that I have invested so much in PC and I have four carts that are sitting there not being used.

Thanks. Talking with them now. Hopefully we get somewhere.

Just got off the phone with support. They said the new release was for the Gypsy... not the E2. She said it should be early next week so check back then.

Thanks for trying to help.

Yeah, I thought it was weird too. I hope that's the case though because otherwise there is a bigger issue with my machine which will not be fun to deal with. Hopefully things update smoothly next week.

Thanks again.
