EFI Update Error

Hi all,
my imac doesn't update; i get "error (0); can't update"
i tried 3 times; i tried also downloading update from apple.com, no changes...
someone else?
Bye, Marco.

Hi Marco. I don't think this is really relevant since I did get the down load. _Maybe helpful when you get to the next step_. A copy of a prior post.
"Didn't read well so I just hit restart. Screen said it it didn't like that.On reread I did it properly—hold it down, multi flash, special load that took a while. All is joy, Will RP when done here.
RP gave nothing particularly weird.

  • Efi update via usb flash drive?

    I would like to know if there is a way to perform an efi update via a usb flash drive?

    tried the latest 2010 build, got the same problem: 'missing operating system' and again in ubuntu the flash drive is an unknown filesystem.
    tried again on a different computer and got the same error.. how frustrating!
    edit: just to clarify i used the following command 'sudo dd if=path/to/image.img of=/path/to/device' i also changed directory to where the image file is and tried again without absolute referencing the path for 'if=' both of which returned that the command had been completed successfully in terminal.
    edit: tried using again with a different USB stick (Maxell 4GB), again terminal returned 'x amount of files successfully copied to sdc1'.
    .. something different happened this time, i didn't get the same error as before, instead the text 'grub' appears with a blinking cursor. nothing else.

  • Efi update 2.5 does not apply

    I cannot apply the MacBook Pro EFI update 2.5, and now the SMC update. The updater tells me they are available, but after restarting, I see they have not been applied, and the updater agrees, and tells me they are still available.
    When the computer restarts, I'm supposed to see progress bar duting the update? If so, that never comes up.

    The problem appears in /var/log/install.log. Search for 'EFI' in this file. You will find the errors. In my case the EFI partition (?) was missing, the only solution was to do a complete clean reinstall, removing every (bootcamp) partition and start all over again from scratch. Things go faster when using a spare harddisk, swap it with your default one, install Lion 10.7.3 and update the EFI. Then swap back your SDD or default HDD.
    Edit: and as always: make sure you have a current Time Machine backup. Also don't forget to backup your Bootcamp partitions seperately if installed.

  • Macbook pro doesn't work after EFI update.

    My new macbook pro doesn't work. I bought it yesterday and after I've installed EFI update (it installed without any errors) my mac
    "starts" with blank screen, no chime sound, with fans on (I guess - it's full speed). I've already tried those tricks with command+option+p+r and it neither work nor bring my mac to "life". Any ideas what this issue could be?

    I've got the same problem but with QT player (not PRO version)
    I've installed the 7.1.2 update for quicktime and the audio and videos files on the net doesn't start I've got a "?" then I go to the quicktime prefs and I see that the entire QT plugins disapear
    Besides the audio files and the video files on my HD work
    so ,is someone can help me for finding the whole QT plugins ?
    If it was impossible ,I suggest you to make a 7.0.4 reinstaller for 7.1.2 for Quicktime

  • Interruppting EFI Update

    What happens when you interrupt the EFI update?
    I was in the middle of running my EFI update. Now I can't seem to get my Mac running. I tried all the troubleshooting tips that was in the manual. I also refered to the update instructions again to try and restart the update. Now my LED light blinks from dim to bright.
    Is there something that I can do or would have to return my laptop?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Shugah Shane.
    EFI updates should not be interrupted. But you know that now
    Did you read this support topic also? You may be able to create a restore disk w/o bringing your Mac in for repair.

  • Performance reduced under Bootcamp after EFI update on Macbook Pro Retina

    after i upgraded EFI on my retina macbook pro the proformence reduced to unusable. under heavy load under bootcamp windows7. the cpu clock drops and as well as cpu clock. this is the screen shot of gpu clock monitoring from windows u can see the gpu clock is running at 270Mhz at most of the time and trying to be back to 725Mhz(yea, not 900Mhz!) when im running a graphic benchmark at same time cpu will run about 1.1Ghz as well. i noticed that it will run 10-20sec normally then CPU and GPU clock will start dropping. It's almost like speedstep is programmed backwards. My CPU is constantly running at 3.1-3.2GHz, and then as soon as a game loads, it drops to 1.2GHz. I've lost track of how many times I reset the SMC  reseting SMC PRAM, reinstalling windows using Bootcamp or even erease the entire drive and start over from network recovery MacOS did not solve this problem. so all the recent games like COD MW3, Starcraft II, BF3,or D3 will only run about about 10 fps as i was playing them with no ploblem before the EFI update.
    this is killing me! please help.
    im in NY, in this season i dont think is the overheating problem. when i check the temperature, it stays about 80C (fans will run about 4k rpm). but some time heavy loaded Mac OS cpu is about 90 degree but only with 3k rpm fan kicked in.
    i did search online, seems that some other people have the same problem with rMBP or MBA 2012.
    anyone knows if i take my macbook pro to the store, will those people work at genuines bar help me with this "windows" problem?
    thanks!

    Hey Shadowyani, please take a time and fill a bug report at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ . The machine is useless for me as it is now because I develop and use very GPU/CPU demanding scientific applications, after the update my realtime applications are completely useless as they drop from something like 25fps to 9 fps even on Mac OS X (no SMC reset fixed the issue). In bootcamp the situation is worse, my software runs at 4 fps and gaming turns to be impossible to play as well.
    Please let Apple know about the problem, fill a bug report, even if SMC reset once in a while fixed the issue for you (this is not a common behaviour and must be fixed). We paid the price for cutting edge technology.
    Apple shall not do a downgrade of the system after few weeks, remember that most of reviews and benchmarks were done BEFORE the EFI Update, so people are being fooled by Apple in this sense.

  • EFI update 1.8 and the wakeup noise is back

    I have applied EFI update 1.8 but replaced my drive (the drive was bad) a couple of months ago.
    The drive is making again the wakeup noise! (EFI 1.8 was supposed to fix that)
    I am not certain that the return of the noise is related to the drive change but it looks so.
    Any way to remove the noise. Does the superdrive need a firmware update? If yes how do you do it (as the EFI change is not accepted anymore)?

    Same here actually. It worked for a bit though.

  • EFI Update Causes Time Machine Problems

    After the EFI update today (10/12) Time Machine will no longer mount its disk image on an external network drive via AFP wireless connection. The external drive is presented through Ubuntu 8.10 with Netatalk 2.03. Anyone else having this problem yet, or better yet have a solution?

    Fixed it! Mounting it in Disk Utility and repairing the file system worked. It should be noted however that I can't confirm the update was the cause of of this problem but, its some kawinky-**** huh?

  • EFI Update 2.9 other issue

    After EFI update 2.9 Wifi no longer automatically connects to remembered networks on wake. I was having the highly delayed wake issue on occasion that this update was said to fix. Now even time I open the lid (100% of the time so far) i must manually connect to my home network it will not automatically connect. any ideas?

    I had this same issue.  On an uneducated whim,  I totally Shut Down my Computer, waited about 5 minutes, then pressed the Power Button and
    it has been 2 days and No More Problem with the WiFi  issue.
    I might be speaking too soon, but, so far in the past 2 days it seems to connect!
    You can also try to delete the Network you use in System Preferences Network Advanced  and then Add it back then go up to the WiFi Icon and turn it off,  Then turn it back on and check Remember this Network.  Someone suggested that, but so far just Turning Off My Air and waiting 5 minutes, the turn it back on solved my problem.

  • EFI Update v2.6 breaks Windows dual boot

    The EFI Update MBA51.00EF.B02 has broken WIndows on my MacBook Air 2012
    Bootcamp Dual boot using OSX Lion & WIndows 7 was working fine prior to the EFI update.
    Since then, the WIndows initial boot screen displays, but as soon as the GUI starts there is a blank notebook screen.
    Using an external monitor connected via Thunderbolt > VGA adapter, the Windows GUI Logon & desktop shows on the external monitor, but Control Panel display manager cannot see the MBA own lcd screen as a display option.
    This makes it unusable as a portable WIndows M/C, as instead of fixing WIndows it has broken it.
    Can I regress ?
    Is there a fix to this issue ?
    Please Help

    @vintherine: Everything you mentioned in the 1st post is correct. In your case the correct commands should be:
    grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    Thanks. I've tried that, get now a single line with Windows, which does not work
    EDIT: Are you able to boot Windows independent of GRUB, ie. directly from the firmware boot menu?
    I've tried F12 key, found a menu, started on the HD, found a new menu corresponding with the EFI directories (arch_grub, Microsoft....). Microsoft entry sent me on... grub menu
    EDIT: Can you try (note the extra line : "set gfxpayload=keep")
    It's time for diner (i'm in France). I'll see this in the next hour.
    Many thanks
    Seems like the actual Windows bootmgfw.efi was overwritten by grubx64.efi or something else. In the boot menu Windows's entry (created by Windows installer) is usually titled "Windows Boot Manager".
    EDIT:
    Try this. Copy the files from Windows's C:\Windows\Boot\EFI to <EFISYS>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ . Overwrite any exisitng files, and make sure <EFISYS>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/BCD file exists. That is the Windows equivalent of grub.cfg (although BCD cannot be read easily since it is not a text file). Try your menuentry again.
