Firmware update 29 June 2011

Be warned! the firmware update released today 29 June 2011 onto my macbook pro caused the finder to crash. Sorted by having to launch into safe mode?

You may have downloaded and installed it on the 29th, but that is not the release date.  Since you didn't provide any information about what firmware update it was and the date you're using is meaningless, nobody could tell what you were talking about.  Sounds like it's the Thunderbolt update that was installed, at the same time as the Java update.
As to your warning, firmware updates don't generally make specific apps like the Finder crash, so I think there's something else going on in your case.  I'm especially puzzled as to how you have pinpointed the firmware update as the cause of your problem when you installed a Java update at the same time.

  • After EFI Firmware update 2.3, MBP Early 2011 will not boot. During restart it all went wrong please help!

    Hello,
    I've done an ample amount of Internet research to find an answer to this problem however nothing yet found is quite like this. I will start from the beginning.
    I am traveling through Europe, and I normally live in California. When I arrived in Ireland my MBP early 2011 15 inch, began crashing constantly when I had several tabs open on Chrome and maybe one or two low CPU/Memory using applications, nothing the 8gb RAM &750gb hard drive can't normally handle. Thus I began trouble shooting.  I ran disk utility once started up and repaired both disk and permissions. Still crashing. It didn't seem like it had anything to do with a kernel panic shut down, I never would receive the usual message indicating so. After that I did an SMC reset. It was still crashing. I then upgraded the OSX from 10.8 to 10.8.4 believing it could help. It did momentarily, but then crash again. (When it crashes screen goes black suddenly and upon pressing power button does a regular boot on my single partition). I decided attempting to repair using the Internet recovery option but it appeared my MBP had not yet have it installed, so I downloaded from Apple and began installing. Here I made a mistake, I unplugged the power source as it was restarting. When the gray screen and apple appeared, the loading bar shows up as it says it will when installing the update, but when the bar fully loads it crashes every time. I've tried starting in safe mode, which then loads but never goes further (I let it stand for two hours such as that and nothing). Then I decided to allow the MBP to fully charge overnight to give it time and charge. This morning the problem has stayed the same, even with power source plugged in. Please help I need this to work.
    Thank you and please ask any questions!

    Your constant crashing problem is probably some type of hardware fault which no update can fix. Doing the 10.8.4 update and then the firmware update just caused further problems. you need to take thr system to a apple store to be diagnosed and fixed if cost effective.

  • Firmware update on a Macbook Air 2011

    Hello guys, i have a Macbook Air 2011 that had the hard drive damaged, i installed a new one so him only starts on the Utility Page for Reinstall the OSX...

    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks

    You replaced the the SSD in a MBA that cannot be user serviced, so that's quite an accomplishment. Your model does not require a firmware update to use Internet Recovery - Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. Here's the process you follow:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with app: "iMac EFI Firmware update"

    I have an app on my MacBook Pro late 2011 model, by the name "iMac EFI Firmware update" that my computer says is useless... can I uninstall it using CleanMyMac without corrupting my OS Mountain Lion or simply dragging it to the garbage?

    You can delete it. Just drag it to the Trash and this installer will be removed. As you have already installed this update, you don't need the installer anymore on the hard drive

  • Early 2011 Macbook external display issues after firmware update

    I have a 2011 MBPro 15". After performing the firmware update in late April, I have continual issues when I connect my monitor. The screen is blank and I can move the mouse tap the keyboard etc. The display may come up for a scond and then it will close and the machine goes back to sleep. More wiggling and the process starts over.
    If I raise the lid it may bing up the external display. Restarting is the only sure fix.
    I also was unable to make a presentation today because the projector I was connected to would not show the MBP display.
    I tried all the key combinations, detect display etc. and nothing.
    Can I somehow go back to the prior firmware? Other solutions?
    SMC Version (system):          1.69f1
    EFI Driver Version:          01.00.521

    I recently did a software update to my MacBook pro and had a similar issue, on restart it gets to the apple logo then just shuts off, after multiple hours on the phone with apple care they told me that it was coincidence that it happened at the same time as the update and it would be costly to repair as it was either something to do with display or logic board. I took my MacBook into my retail location I bought it from and was told that they have had MULTIPLE people bring in macbooks with the SAME issue (I live in a really small city so the amount of people is quite large proportion wise) and that they could fix the issue by remotely resetting the MacBook at a cost of $130-$150. Relatively cheap considering what I was fearing, but if this is a common problem related to Apples update why are we paying to fix it and why is apple support saying its something major???

  • MBP 2011/MC724 performance decreasing after firmware updating

    On the third day after buying a suddenly degraded performance.   No additional software installed (except for the adobe flash player). 
    Perhaps the problem is caused by a firmware update.  I've Installed it from the standard upgrades. System Restore from DVD (with full HD cleaning), not solve problem.
    Current performance can not even watch videos on youtube.
    Who else is having the same problem with apple mbp 2011?
    What do I do with it?  How to fix the problem?
    thank you in advance for your help.
    Sasha.

    youtube, safari, showing spaces and so on.  Heavy freezes. Even during the first boot (after recovery from the DVD) when the music plays, there are freezes and crackling sound.

  • My iMac 2011 21" Maverick cannot install iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.9

    My iMac 21" mid 2011 2.8GHz Ci& 16Gb OSX 10.9.1 has started to run 'hot'. Even then freshly rebooted, the top left hand side of the computer (with the screen facing you) gets rather warm (very hot if you actually use the computer). I beleive this to be the location where power supply is located.
    I have tried:
    1) resetting the SMC (shutting down and removing the power cable - over night).
    2) resetting PRAM
    3) vacuuming out the vents to remove possible 'fluff' and dust.
    4) threatening it with a hammer...
    None of these actions has worked.
    I rummaged about on the support forums and notice that there are a few firmware updates that might be worth installing - just to remove firmware bugs as a potential contributing factor. The available updates were - my iMac is running SMC version 1.71f22 and there is a 1.9 version, and an upgrade to the Radeon 6770M graphics Firmware to 3.0.
    However the requirements on the web site http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1498 state that I need to be running Lion... I have mavericks installed and the installer alerts with "This software is not supported on your system" when I am cheeky enough to try installing the firmware.
    Can anyone please adivse on how to install these firmware updates - without having to downgrade to Lion?
    Many thanks.

    I have just checked the MBA (and an old MBP) and they both have the right versions.
    e.g.
    MBA
    Boot ROM Version:          MBA61.0099.B04
    SMC Version (system):          2.13f7
    And the MBP 7,1 Mid 2010 (pimped a bit with 8Gb Ram and a SSD)
    Boot ROM Version:          MBP71.0039.B0E
    SMC Version (system):          1.62f7
    So everything looks sweet! Silly me for thinking that Apple had over looked this.
    Thanks to everyone for their help in clearing up my misunderstanding.

  • Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    Check your Network control panel and turn off Auto-Proxy setting.
    This is one of the top #4 "how can they do this' pet-peeve errors.
    The other is the often slow 8 hrs to download 600MB even on 10Mb+ cable.
    Another, 'the drive cannot be partitioned because there isn't enough contiguous unfragemented free space; some files are locked and cannot be moved."
    If auto proxy isn't it, router/modem and DNS settings.

  • Will N97 mini get new firmware updates in 2012?

    Hi I am nokia fans. Still I am so hope that new update firmware will be release for n97 mini owners. Since 5800 and 5230 get new updates at October 2011. When n97mini will taste new firmware update again?

    v30 was released at the end of June 2011. Don't expect another update anytime soon. I went from V12 to V30 and it's a trade-off in features. The new browser is an overall improvement,but the email client no longer gives you the flashing notification option. Free RAM drops 5 MB's on my phone. The Smart Dial and Emoticons are subjective as features. One thing I do like is that the phone stays in portrait view when closing the keyboard.
