MacBook Pro :: Firmware Update On It Ruins Connection With IMac?
Mar 12, 2012
After the firmware update yesterday, the finder on my MacBook Pro is no longer able to transfer files from my iMac to my MBP or vice versa. Most folders on my other mac are visible, but some crash the finder, transferring files gets part of them moved over, but then it stalls and crashes the finder.Seems like a serious bug. Or has the firmware update simply removed the file transfer possibility at all?Reinstalling Lion wasn't even possible as the recovery program stalled as well. It was not possible to choose a language.
Info:
MacBook Pro, iOS 5.0.1

Just a quick silly question.iMac EFI Firmware Update popped up on the software update and I have now completed the update.It is okay to delete the iMac EFI Firmware Update from the Application Folder once you have updated the iMac?Also, if I have the Airport & Ethernet cable connected to my router, will my iMac use the Ethernet connection as default?

I take screenshots on my Mac Pro and then I usually annotate them using markup in Preview. However, since the update to Yosemite, when I save a marked up image, the colours go weird. It's like they turn negative or super saturated.
This is a screenshot taken before I mark it up using Preview. I do some markup in Preview (please note, this is a screenshot of the image OPEN in Preview and having markup added to it, but not saved)..Then I save it and this is what happens.. Is it a bug in Preview? I'm on the very latest updates for Yosemite 10.10.1

When given a video card update (esp from using windows) it almost always improves the video card. Apple releases the flicker fix update and I don't have a flicker issue. No screen issues at all really.
I feel like it's Russian roulette. Update or not? I know some people will say don't fix what ain't broke, but what exactly is IN the fix? Is it exclusively for the flicker issue or does it update/upgrade other aspects on the card? Mine has the ATI card in it.

It's avihappy again and I have another survey for you all. As you can see, there is now an iMac 4850 EFI firmware update available via software update. So can you: Find a test that will cause the iMac to freeze up. Do the update. (make sure you actually run the firmware updater tool, it may not run automatically when you install the update from Software Update.) Switch to WiFi. Do the test again. See if the iMac freezes!

I know this affects iMac users than any other product so I thought it would be worth mentioning that Apple has released a Bluetooth firmware update found in Software Update: This update provides bug fixes and better compatibility with the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard. It installs on all Macintosh systems with Bluetooth based on the Broadcom chipset. Those who are having trouble, download and note any improvements for others who are having the same problem.

I have one of the original MacPros 1,1 2x266 currently running OS X 10.7.3. and indicating ROM Revision 3011. When I try to run this update, it fails saying I need OS X 10.6. Do I need the update (I presume yes since my ROM rev is lower), if so how can I install it?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I did a software update last night and the firmware update attempted to install. Unfortunately, it errors out with the message:
Necesary resources are missing, corrupt, or do not have the correct permissions. Delete the iMac Graphics Firmware Update and re-download it and run again.

I was reluctant to update my 27inch i5 iMac with the new graphics card firmware update since I wasn't having any flickering issues. I finally caved in and did it thinking that nothing bad will happen, well of course something did. Ever since I updated it yesterday my computer makes a distinct and random popping sound from the speakers, it is soft but audible in my quiet room when I am working and it is driving me crazy.

If rev C runs the GPU at a higher speed and hw otherwise is the same as rev B then why couldn't Apple release a firmware update to let rev BGPU rum faster as well?

After 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?

I just ran the latest firmware update for my 2011 mac book pro and after it installed it now won't start up, only getting to the gray screen before freezing there.
I've tried all the on line solutions I can find on Apple's site, but no luck.

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.

I tried to update my OS to 10.5.6 but failed. the update stacked at 10% percent. I went to Genius bar yesterday evening. The guy tried to install combo update for me and the nightmare started. The combo didn't work too and it came out with fail updated, file damage. He verified the disk and it said " key length invalid" and he restart my computer. Then my computer never come back anymore. It can't start up and shows some words in black background and with 4 countries languages to let me restart my computer. I tried to use safe mode restart, try to select start disk(it shows my disk and network option) but the result is the same.

I 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:
[URL]
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?

I 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.

This update eliminates the noise made by the optical disk drive during system startup and wake from sleep on MacBook Pro computers. When installation is complete, please run Software Update again, and install SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0. When I boot my system I can hear that sound like ejecting a disk out of the drive like always... Is that noise they refer?
