Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 fails with error 23:3 on MacBook 2,1

I attempted to install "Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0" on two laptops tonight.
Macbook Pro 3,1:
Hadn't experienced the issue that the firmware would resolve. Installed the update anyway, successfully, and continued to have no problems since.
Macbook 2,1:
Hadn't experienced the issue that the firmware would resolve. Tried to install the update, but it failed with error "23:3". After the failure, the keyboard was non-responsive for about 30-60 seconds, during which time I assume it restored/re"booted" itself. Keyboard function was restored automatically after this time, though there was no indication that it would return, and I had to suffer a minor sweat. Still, I didn't learn I power cycled the system and tried again, but the update never installed successfully.
Lessons learned -
If it ain't broken...
That said, Apple seems to have designed their hardware well enough to be able to recover from a failed firmware update. In this case, you just have to pray a little until the keyboard responds again.
Apple: be so kind, let us know what 23:3 means, and if needed, update the Firmware Updater.

Hi,
I was just wondering how you were able to get the macbook to accept the update? I had to take mine to apple store and get entire keyboard and trackpad replaced in my macbook. They then told me to ignore the update cause they did not have any other keyboards to replace if it happened again.

  • Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 fails with error 0xb

    Can't update on my MacPro (2013) with OSX 10.9.5. Stuck on firmware 22.2. When I try to install the update manually I get an error that the update is already installed, but both of my displays are on the old 2011 firmware (22.2). Diving into the event logs reveals underlying problem, but I don't know how to fix. Sugestions? Both displays suffer the black display bug this is supposed to fix.

  • Downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update?

    Can I downgrade from Leopard to Tiger after having applied the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0? This firmware update requires OS 10.5.2 or higher to be installed. Now that it is installed can I downgrade back to Tiger (10.4.11)?
    I have a MacBook Pro 17 (late 2006). It ran perfect except for the occasional ignored first key press problem that these MacBook's have. In late December I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.6) and installed the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 that is suppose to fix the ignored first key press problem. Ever since then I have had constant keyboard & trackpad failures. When the built-in keyboard fails, thankfully I can still use an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. I've tried everything. I've reinstalled Leopard four separate times, reset PRAM, reset SMU, repair permissions, pressure on the keyboard cable under the battery (even though I don't think this version of the MacBook has that problem). Nothing restored my internal keyboard and trackpad. During this process I tried to re-install the Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update using the original package file that I had downloaded, however I was given a message that the keyboard didn't need to be update because it already has the updated functionality and the installer package would then quit. Then I remembered that the original firmware update actually installed a Keyboard Firmware Update application in my Utilities Folder. When I ran the Firmware Update application in the Utilities Folder it instantly fixed my keyboard problem! Unfortunately the keyboard fix is not stable. It fails 2 to 3 time a week. Running the Keyboard Firmware Update application fixes the problem every single time, but this renders my MacBook useless as a portable (I have to have an external keyboard/mouse to run the Firmware application). I have, incidentally, tried all the other suggestions in the many keyboard threads in this forum (putting the computer to sleep, restarts, shut downs, PRAM & SMU resets, repairing permissions, running other applications, etc.), and nothing works except reinstalling the Keyboard Firmware Update using the application in the Utilities Folder. At this point I just want to downgrade to Tiger and go back to the way it was. I'll happily take the ignored first key press problem over a completely dead keyboard.
    Please help.

  • I have downloaded the Photoshop trial in CC when it gets to the updating stage it fails with error code 49

    It told me to retry or contact support - I have retried several times & it keeps coming back to error code (49)

    Generally, this error is caused by something running on the computer which may be locking files that are trying to be updated. First, try simply restarting the computer to close running applications and unlock all files. If that does not allow the update to complete, try disabling all applications which run in the background. Disable startup items, services | Windows or Start in Safe Boot mode | Mac OS X

  • Keyboard firmware update 1.0 will not install

    Hi - I think others have had similar problems, but I don't know if a solution exists?
    When software opens on our macbook here at work, we get a message that there is an update available for the keyboard. It should ensure that the first keystroke is recognized after the macbook's been asleep and solve a few other problems. Well, the first keystroke isn't generally recognized, so I decided to try again to install it. Here is what happens:
    It downloads perfectly, as far as I can tell.
    The machine restarts.
    The software tries to install itself. It quits less than halfway through, giving me an error message and then, "your keyboard firmware could not be updated". This has happened twice over the past three months or so. What is this update, how important is it, and how on earth do I get it to install?
    TIA!

    First, does your MacBook meet the following requirements:
    System Requirements
    Installation of MacBook and MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 requires Mac OS X 10.5.2.
    Note the above because it does not appear that you have a version of Leopard installed.
    The MacBook and MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 supports the following products:
    MacBook (Late 2006)
    MacBook (Mid 2007)
    MacBook (Late 2007)
    MacBook Pro (17-inch Core 2 Duo)
    MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo)
    MacBook Pro (Mid 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz)
    MacBook Pro (Late 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz)
    When will the keyboard firmware be updated?
    This update installs an application in the Utilities folder called "Built-in Keyboard Firmware Update." The updater application will automatically open. Once open, please follow the instructions within the application to complete the update. It can also be manually run later by double-clicking the updater in the Utilities folder.
    Second, I would download and install the standalone version rather than using Software Update.

  • Keyboard firmware update

    Any ideas why everytime I run the Software Update it lists the Keyboard Firmware 1.0 update? I must have installed it half a dozen times by now and it still appears!
    Thanks

    The Software Update download doesn't run/install the patch, it simply downloads an application to the Applications/Utilities folder called *Built-In Keyboard Firmware Update*.
    Browse to the Utilities folder and run that app. You'll soon be set with the fix and you won't see the prompt to download any more.
    Welcome to the Apple boards.
    On my MBP, the update downloaded and preinstalled. A few moments later a new window popped up and the install began. It does install itself - at least on my MBP it did - completely automatically, after I ticked a few buttons on the second install window.
    It may depend on how one's settings are configured for automatic installing of these downloads, although I don't see any options on my system other than automatic download, which is unchecked.

  • Late 2006 MacBook Pro replacement keyboard: firmware update required?

    My late-2006 2.33GhZ MacBook Pro is still going strong -- except that a group of keys on the internal keyboard stopped working two weeks ago, requiring me to replace it. It was a delicate operation, but it worked like a charm.
    Shortly thereafter, though, I started noticing a symptom that jogged my memory: when I'd go to type something, quite often the first character would be dropped, as if the keyboard wasn't waking from its low-power state quickly enough. This had been a common complaint with this model, and Apple addressed it with the MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update released in 2008. I recall installing it and very specifically noticing the problem had vanished.
    So of course now I'm wondering: is it possible my new keyboard needs the firmware update too? You can see the catch-22 I'm in: I can't install it, since the computer is convinced the updater has already been run. when I do run it, I get a generic message that the update isn't necessary. I even tried removing:
    /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.BuiltInKybdFirmwareUpdate.bom
    to see if that would enable the updater to run, but no dice.
    Of course it's possible I'm simply losing my mind, and the keyboard already has the update. Could someone else with this exact model -- someone who has run the keyboard firmware update -- tell me what version their internal keyboard is at, based on:
    System Profiler -> Hardware -> USB -> Apple Internal Keyboard
    Many thanks!

    Hi Eric,
    Any resolution to this? I do not have the exact same MacBook - mine is a 17" MacBook Pro, but in case it helps you, my updated keyboard version is 0.18 using the same installer
    My problem is that when I originally used that software update (over a year ago), it created an intermittent keyboard/trackpad failure. Every 2 days, on a very regular basis, my trackpad and keyboard fail. In order to fix the problem, I go to the Utilities folder and run the "Built-In Keyboard Update Firmware" that the original DMG installer installed there. Once I run that program I'm good for another 2 days. Apple, of course, has no clue to what's going on.
    Why am I telling you all this? I noticed that you are running Snow Leopard. I tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard a couple of weeks ago. After the Snow Leopard install, my keyboard failed like clockwork; however, it turns out that the firmware installer that I have been relying on for the last year to fix my intermittent failures no longer works under Snow Leopard. My phone calls to Apple were a complete waste of time (apparently there is a very low threshold to get on the "Genius Bar"). One of my questions to them was specifically about a way to re-run the installer from the DMG file. They again had no clue, and In the end I had to downgrade to Leopard to get my Keyboard back.
    All that said to let you know that even if you can find a way to re-install the firmware updater (I'd like to know how, if you figure it out), there is a good chance the actual firmware update won't install under Snow Leopard.
    Good luck - let me know how you make out.

  • Aluminum keyboard firmware updater caused my Mac not to boot.

    After installing the recent (4/8/08) keyboard firmware update, my iMac G5 refused to boot past the grey apple screen, too. Got the spinning paddle, but multiple hard shutdowns and restarts failed to get it past that point.
    I ended up booting the Leopard Install DVD and tried to reboot into my backup, a Superduper clone of the drive from the previous night. Wouldn't do it -- got the same result.
    Used Disk Utility (on the Leopard DVD) to repair the disk/permissions. The only significant repair was this:
    permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log," should be -rw-------, they are -rw-r-----.
    Now, I don't know what that means, but maybe it's relevant.
    I rebooted -- and still was unable to get past the grey screen. I tried repairing permissions a second time (and nothing unusual came up) and it still failed to fix the startup problem. I also used the repair disk function (between permissions repairs) and that had no effect, either.
    Ultimately, I was forced to do an archive and install of Leopard, which then allowed me to boot successfully.
    Really disappointing -- this is the kind of thing I expect Windows users to have to deal with, not us.

    I have MacMini with Wired Aluminum Keyboard. I have all the current Firmware and Software updates. The computer will not startup with the install disc using the "C" key nor will it start up with my second attached hard drive using the "Option" key. Now if I use my old Black Apple Keyboard both of these functions work beautifully.
    The real problem is the lack of knowledge about this on the part of Applecare and the Geniuses at the Apple Store. They don't even know about these discussions on the Apple Site nor any other internet site that is discussing or has discussed this issue.
    I wasted 2 hours with Applecare. They had me do the usual things such as resetting the Pram, disconnecting all cables and resetting the startup manager. You name it they just follow the book and waste your time and theirs.
    Their final conclusion was that my keyboard was defective so they made an appointment for me to bring it into the Apple Store. The Genius in the Apple Store hooks my keyboard up to another computer. I don't remember which model it was but I know it was not a Mac Mini. Anyhow he comes back and tells me my keyboard is fine. He says the RAM in my Mini has gone bad. So I replace the RAM. Still have the same problem.
    Well unless someone in this discussion group can tell me what the REAL problem is, I will keep my old Black Keyboard close by.

  • MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0

    ... now available via Software Update. Thank heavens! See, we weren't imagining it. From the installer:
    "This MacBook and MacBook Pro firmware update addresses an issue where the first key press may be ignored if the computer has been sitting idle. It also addresses some other issues.
    The update package will install an updater application into the Applications/Utilities folder and will launch it automatically. Please follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the update process."
    Lots more information here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307355

    you will probably need to take it into apple. firmware updates are a very serious matter. firmware is your hardware's version of a driver. if the firmware update was halted, chances are that the hardware is now worthless.
    what i would try before taking it in:
    first, plug in an external keyboard and mouse to see if you can try executing the update again. if that fails, you may try to re-install leopard in an effort to overwrite the firmware update. if that fails as well, take it to apple as they will probably need to replace any hardware which has incomplete or corrupted firmware.

  • Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 keeps installing

    Hello,
    Just last week I noticed that the top layer of plastic by the mouse pad was cracking on my MacBook. I took my MacBook into the Apple Store and they replaced the keyboard, mouse pad, and plastic (I'm assuming it is all one module?).
    Well, everything has been working out great, but Software Update keeps telling me about this Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0. I install it, Software Update says it was installed successfully, and then the next day Software Update says it needs to be installed again. This has been going on for a week now. Does anybody have any idea what is going on? Is this something I can resolve myself or should I bring it back into the Apple Store?

    I wish I knew! We have a similar situation with our macbook here at work. When software update opens, I am told about this keyboard firmware update which we should install. I download the software and follow the instructions to install it - midway through, the software fails to install and I get an error message. It's very annoying!
    I'm going to post separately about this problem rather than spamming your thread, but I hope one of us will get an answer!

  • Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 does not install

    I just got notification from Software Update that a firmware update for my Apple Aluminum Keyboard was available. I attempted to install it and after three attempts, I got "Unexpected Error (3:4)". That's it. Nothing else. I didn't find any further information associated with the download and no other documentation. I did go as far as removing the keyboard from a KVM switch and USB Hub and connected it directly to my G4 Mac Mini. Still no success. Does anyone have any clue about software/firmware updates for peripherals that fail in this way? I've had the keyboard for about 3 months.

    I also had the error "An unexpected error occurred (4:3)" when installing the Keyboard Firmware Update. I resolved the matter by unplugging my KVM switch (and all other USB devices) and by connecting the keyboard directly to the computer.

  • Aluminum Keyboard firmware update FAILURE

    I accepted the firmware update yesterday and was asked for my appleID password to confirm installation. After the firmware installation started (listed as "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0" in the title bar of the installation window, but 1.1 in the software update list), the keyboard just stopped working entirely (although the mouse connected to the USB slot was still functioning) and oddly, I was asked for my password to resume installation. Of course at this point, I had no functioning keyboard to enter the password!
    I plugged in a spare MS keyboard to put in the password and continue the installation, which stalled due to some internet issues (still not sure if it's ISP or AirPort related). I woke up this morning to check and the update was still stuck installing. It wouldn't let me close the update without forcing, but I went ahead and stopped it and re-started the firmware update by checking for software updates again. The update asked me for my password THREE times and went through a loop of progress on what appeared to be the same installation screen. After the third time, I received a message that the firmware installation failed.
    So now I've completed the firmware update (with an error) and managed to incapacitate my keyboard. Any idea what I can do to get my keyboard working again?
    I'm aware of the possibility that the additional keyboard may be causing problems, but being prompted for a password three times during the firmware update necessitates it.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    At this point you may be better off taking the KB to an Apple Store and getting them to install the firmware.
    To be honest, I would never do a firmware update with Software Update. As you see, things can go wrong, especially when you are relying on an internet connection. Whenever SU informs me of a firmware update I decline to install and then go to the Apple Downloads page, manually download the update and, following the instructions exactly, install the update manually.

  • Kernel panic when I try to run Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run the Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update and every time I try, as soon as I've entered my admin password I get a kernel panic. I've tried it 5 times and it's the same every time - I click Update, I put in the password and bam.
    Anyone else had this?

    If you don't get the KP when booting from the internal, then suspect a corrupt installation on the SSD or that the SSD is causing the issue. See
    What is a kernel panic,
