View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter the update, my MacBook Pro is extermely sluggish. Prior to the update, I was zipping along like most happy MacBook Pro owners. After the update, I constantly see the dreaded beach ball when doing almost anything with the laptop, Safari pages take longer to load, etc.
It's almost as if the udpate had the opposite effect and actually throttled down my WD 500GB HDD performance to a large degree.
Like I said, prior to the update all was good. I've been searching to see if there is a way to revert back to the previous firmware to validate that the update caused the problem but I haven't been successfull in finding anything yet.
I currently have version 10.6.2 update for my macbook pro and after updating the EFI firmware update to 1.8 I get an annoying pop up every time I start the computer. I checked for any additional updates to see if it will go away, but I seem to have all the updates. Is there anything I should do to get rid of this pop up? Pop-up window reads: your computer's firmware is up to date with version 1.8 of the macbook pro EFI firmware update.

Installed the 2.8 firmware update on my late '08 macbook pro and after restarting it, it would just beep 3 times and not start up. I pulled my 8 gig kingston ram out, repositioned back and still the same issue. Slapping in the original 4 gigs of apple ram, it will start up and work fine though. Is there a fix to get the 8 gigs working again on the machine?

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.8 does not install. I was prompted several times to install and restart (MacBook Pro late 2008) and authorised it each time. In every case, the update was proposed again when Software Update checked. I have OS Lion latest version installed. What to do about this bug?

Are there any known compatibiity issues with booting from an OS 10.6.x drive after installing EFI Firmware Update 2.5?I am running Lion (10.7.3) on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2010) but have held off installing the firmware update because being able to boot from a 10.6.x backup drive is more important right now than internet-based Lion recovery. If there's no issue booting 10.6.x (and running apps), then I will go ahead and install the firmware update, otherwise I'll wait awhile longer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI did the latest firmware update few days ago and went through that series of boots. It's a shame on me that I didn't jog down the ROM revision info before the update. According to the this link:

The FM Rev should be MBA31.0061.B01 after the update.
My MBA 13 is still read MBA31.0061.B00 after I thought I did the update. Does that mean the update didn't go through?
Will updating that firmware bring me trouble if I do it through Parallels?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a uMBP 13' base model. I just received my Western Digital scorpio blue 500g hdd that is SATA 3.0. Should I install the new firmware update before I load anything onto the drive so i can utilize the 3.0Gbps instead of the 1.5Gbps? Should I install it at all? Will I notice a performance bump? I also received 4gb crucial ram, should i install the ram before installing the firmware update? I was wondering if anyone else noticed the screen slightly getting brighter and dimmer, almost in intervals, when it is not plugged into the power cord.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI'm confused why it says "Your computer does not need this update"? It's a MBP4, 1 and has some startup noises and (always has had IIRC) problems with it making noises that don't seem right. I've checked Software Update and there is nothing there (I just ran it and updated a minute ago). I'm curious why it says this, is there a firmware update 1.7 that needs to be installed for the MBP?

A. Install OSX onto a usb device (Cost 30-40 bucks for usb)
B. Take to apple store, Maybe they can do it.

I installed the EFI Firmware update 2.8 on my late 2008 MBP (running 10.5.8) and so far, it's seemed to solve the flicker/screen blacking out issue. I can no longer take screen shots any more without them being corrupted, and sometimes the Finder window gets scrambled and my wife needs to re-boot. I'm guessing a corrupted pref file somewhere. Anyone run into this recently and if so, is there a .plist file I can delete?

Ever since I updated the EFI firmware a while ago, my boot partition is totally screwed. My Macbook pro boots once in 3 tries and any operation with the boot partition (including checks and repairs) fails.
I have Mountain Lion DP3 now (had the first build, when I did the update). The latest problem I'm having now, after an uninstall is when turning on File Vault : "FileVault Failed: Boot file not written"
