Firmware Update After RSD Repair??

I installed the firmware update when it was first available and then sent my MB in for RSD repair. When I got my machine back from RSD repair the firmware update has not been installed. Have others in this situation installed the update without problem??

I had the same experience. It wanted the firmware update to be installed, along with latest versions of itunes, etc.
Having to reinstall the firmware update seems normal to me, because the repair included changing out the logic board, which is where the firmware update would be stored.
Anyway, I did the updates it asked for and all is well. I did get the dreaded rainbow of doom, but resetting the PRAM (boot while holding Option-Cmd-P-R) clears that out for good.
So far, things continue to operate as they should since the repair.

  • MacBook Pro firmware update after erase & install

    Hi,
    I just tried to update from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 with software update last night and got the error message a lot of people have been experiencing, then, got stuck at the apple logo with the never-ending spinning wheel... well... tried repairing disk, permissions, everything, but didn't work...
    Now I reinstalled OS X with the dvd that came with my pro (10.4.6) and I noticed that when I run softwarte update, a specific MacBook Pro firmware update and some battery update didn't show up, does that mean I already have it? because it is firmware, the installation of OS X didn't erase it?
    And to all those out there stuck at the boot screen, I'm trying the manual combo update (downloading from apple.com) and will tell if this works (thank god I backed up everything!)

    Good Morning,
    To answer your firmware question, yes. Once applied a firmware update is burned into the chip on the device being updated and is not subject to being removed with an operating system, the only way to change that firmware is to update it with something else.
    You should be fine that they aren't showing up because, as you said, you already have them. 

  • No network connection after hp laserjet m602 firmware update

    After updating firmware on our hp laserjet M602 printers, the printers are no longer communicating with our print server. I can't even print configuration pages, if the Network cable is connected.  The update completed successfully and I can print using a USB connection.  The Event Log displays the following:
    EVENT:           42.B0.01            Firmware:     23000331_377983                    
    Description: Missing String ID: en-US: Please refer to the Jetdirect Admin Guide_Text
    Additional Notes:

    All Help will be greatly appreciated.... JP

    Try to turn on device while network cable is disconnected (standalone) and let it completely boot till READY status.
    Connect the network cable & note the front panel status (display & LED's both).  Also note if the LAN port LED's are ON.
    Hope that there is no data being processed by printer (data LED on control panel).  If yes, then you might need to delete any pending jobs (including firmware download initiated from computer - if pending in que as a job)
    If printer shows READY status without any data, then you may try printing printer internal documents using control panel menus.  Next step will be to access printer through web brower (EWS page) and confirm if the device is available for use in network.

  • 4GB upgrade now needs Firmware update - how?

    Just updated my 15' Macbook Pro unibody (bought early 2009 - so maybe late 2008 model?) 2.4Ghz.
    My MBP now seems slow? even though the RAM seems to be recognised (from Crucial) as :
    4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    I spoke to cruical about the memory and they said that sometimes it may need a "Firmware update" after installing RAM?? - Can anyone give me steps on what or how this is done?? is it under 'software update'?
    I am still on 10.5.8, and thinking of backing up and re-installing a full 10.6.4 and moving up to Snow Leopard.
    Would this cure it, and maybe update the firmware in the same instance?
    Thanks for any help!

    Poor computer performance is one of the symptoms of bad RAM, a great first step is to run the end-user diagnostic called the Apple Hardware Test (AHT), as detailed in your MacBook Pro manual, and also by removing the RAM and checking performance when running the laptop with the RAM supplied by Apple.

    Firmware for the MacBook Pro is obtained via software update or by download from the Apple Support Website.
    I am still on 10.5.8, and thinking of backing up and re-installing a full 10.6.4 and moving up to Snow Leopard.
    Moving to Snow Leopard is a good move generally, but it won't solve a hardware issue such as bad RAM.
    Would this cure it, and maybe update the firmware in the same instance?
    It is always advisable to run the latest version of OS X and firmware on your Mac.

  • Next Firmware update of 5800XM can contain ... ?(p...

    Firmware update after V 51.0.006:
    the following improvements can be added:
    1. The physical key (call,end call , menu and shortcut bar key) LIGHTS can be TURNED OFF while video play back and also while slide show mode.. This could save a lot a of POWER while watching long videos.
    2. Irregular vibration during  locking and unlocking use the lock key needs to be corrected.
    3. While the phone is plugged to PC in memory card mode and then unplugged, after which in messaging it says " memory not accessible switching to phone memory " and again have to manually change the memory in use back to memory card .. Big bug .
    4. In messaging while changing the phone memory to memory card mode after the 1st time it does not ask if  to copy the phone messages to memory card anymore hence copying is not possible .. Another bug to be corrected.
    5. Improved performance in terms of speed and smooth operation.
    6. Few more home screen themes can be included with widget support.
    Hope these suggestions could be heard by the developers ..

    Firmware update would be great.
    We need proper keyboard shortcut in many applications.

  • Firmware update broke bootcamp install

    Keep getting a mesage i need to upgrade firmware.
    Where's the firmware downgrader?

    Thanks. The 1.01 firmware update after doing the smc update worked. It's humming now.
    Have you downloaded the correct firmware update:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproearly
    2006firmwareupdate101.html
    The SMC firmware upgrade is something different. I
    haven't had an issue myself since i ran the 1.01
    firmware update before doing the SMC update and XP
    via bootcamp is working fine for me. My guess is
    that you should be able to install the 1.01 firmware
    upgrade, even though you have already run the SMC
    update, but try it and let us know how it goes.

  • Macbook 2008 4,1 serious problems after 10.6.8 and 1.4 firmware update

    I'm having a problem with my 2008 2.4Ghz Macbook. After doing a fresh install of 10.6.0 with a Retail DVD, the MB was working perfectly, absolutely no problems at all. I then ran Software Update and installed all the recommended updates to 10.6.8, and I only noticed in passing that there was a Firmware update to do too, as reported by Software Update. I ran that as well and, IIRC, it was applied after fully updating to 10.6.8 and after rebooting twice. The MB rebooted, ran the Firmware update (which seemed to complete fine, as the progress bar completed normally against the grey screen), then rebooted. Again, IIRC, after running the Firmware update, and I'm now at 10.6.8, I started a Repair Permissions and left the MB for a while. It was the next day, maybe 15 hours later, when I went back to the MB and it was in Sleep. I pressed a key to wake it and this is when the weirdness started.
    The screen was "fuzzy", sort of out of focus, though I could see the desktop, and what I could see was: the Disk Utility window open on Repair Permissions (which had completed normally) and several Vertical Segmented Bars running across the bottom part of the screen, at about the height where the Firmware Update progress bar was. These bars were filling in from left to right. IIRC, it may have looked a little like when you wake from Deep Sleep (or Hibernate, or whatever it was called). Like when you Wake from Sleep after the battery has run out and then you plug the AC adapter in.
    Anyway, before the Vertical Segmented Bars progress was completed, the screen went black. Pressing keys didn't bring the desktop back.
    I did a forced shutdown, reset the SMC, then rebooted. No startup chime. The Superdrive, hard drive and fans spun up, but the screen remained black. After a few reboots, I got a desktop back, and tried to reinstall from both an external HD (with Restored disk image) and the Retail Snow Leo DVD. Both times, the MB booted to the startup screen: with the external HD, I held down Option and chose the Snow Leo install; with the DVD, the MB started normally while I held down the C key. The boot started from the HD and the DVD, but after about 60 seconds, with Apple logo and the spinning "cog wheel", the screen went black. And seemed to shut down. With the external FW hard drive, the drive made a loud click, its LED went off, then it came back on after a few seconds, as if it had lost all power to it, then the LED lit up when power returned to it from the shut down MB. Anyway, the installs failed.
    I then attached the 2.4 MB to another MB (2.1) in Target Disk Mode and it booted fine into TDM. It showed up on the 2.1's desktop, I ran Check Disk and it checked out okay. I then looked under Startup Disk and the 2.4's disk was listed there, with 10.6.8.
    I then booted the 2.1 from the 2.4's disk and it booted fine. I ran check Permissions, and a huge list of permissions to repair came out. At this point, I've left things as they are. The 2.1 is booted from the 2.4, the latter used as external boot HD.
    I then replaced hard drive and RAM. Tried to boot from DVD and install, got to Apple logo and spinning cog wheel, but after about 2 minutes the screen went black.
    I then connected an external monitor and rebooted from the DVD. The external display received a video signal and I got to the Snow Leopard install screen. All this time the Macbook display has remained BLACK.
    I went to Disk Utility and reformatted the new drive, then started the installation, which completed fine. The Macbook runs normally connected to the external display.
    Any thoughts?
    Why would the Macbook display work fine at boot (Apple logo, etc.), but then cut out after about 2-3 minutes?
    Why would the Macbook screen remain black while I got a video signal on an external monitor?
    Does this sound heat-related in some way? I should note that while booting from the DVD and now installing Snow Leopard, the fans are going pretty fast.
    I just want to point out that this was an absolutely pristine, impeccable Macbook until these recent problems. It is in fantastic condition, none of the usual chips out of the top case and trackpad area. After the latest fresh install of 10.6.0 it was perfect upon reboot. Fast, perfect Airport and Bluetooth, FW and USB worked perfectly with a FW drive and USB mouse I hooked up. The update to 10.6.8 via Software Update seemed to complete fine.
    Then all the problems started AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.
    I don't know how much stock can be put in the firmware update being the cause of the problems, but the sequence here would bear that out. These are also somewhat unusual problems, at least in my experience.
    One of the odd things was when I first went to wake the Macbook after the firmware update: the "fuzzy", out-of-focus screen and the segmented progress bars. And it was just before the segmented bars completed progress from left to right that the display cut out and went black. And from that time on, I've had the aforementioned problems.
    Any ideas or links to similar problems would be greatly appreciated, e.g. possibly firmware related, or where the Macbook screen works but goes black after a couple minutes. And now that I've been able to connect to an external monitor, it would seem that the video signal is okay too.
    Thanks.

    Just to update.
    After leaving the Macbook unplugged and without battery for a few days. I reset the SMC and, with no battery installed, I've just now rebooted and:
    1) the first time, it booted, but no chime, and when the display turned on, once again I got the "out of focus" desktop AND the segmented vertical bars on the desktop (and the bars were filling in from right to left); the display went black after about 10-15 seconds;
    2) I shut down and swapped some different RAM, then reset the SMC again and booted without battery. This time I got the boot chime and the Macbook booted to the Apple logo screen and spinning cogwheel. After about 2 minutes, the cogwheel stopped spinning, as if to boot to the desktop, but then the display went black. The front light started to pulse after about 10 seconds, and the Macbook appeared to be in Sleep.
    3) I woke the Macbook from sleep by hitting a few keys and this time it went to the desktop. This is the first time it's gone to the desktop since the problem started.
    I had enough time to see that everything appeared normally on the desktop, such as the time and date, Airport was connected, etc. And then the display went black again, after about 10 seconds.
    At this point, I can now always get to the desktop, but the display goes black after about 10 seconds. I have just enough time to press a few keys and the Macbook does respond.
    4) I shut down and reinserted the battery. Here's where new problems show up.
    With the battery inserted, and the Macbook in sleep, if I hit a key, the DVD spins up as the Macbook is waking, BUT now the front sleep indicator light FLASHES (blinks) 5 TIMES. No beeps.
    The Macbook still gets to the desktop, like before, and the screen goes black after 10 seconds.
    I found some info on the Apple site re. 5 flashes (Article 21502):
    If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such as an Apple Retail Store.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article below.
    You can continue using your computer before you service the battery. Use a different battery, or connect the computer’s power adapter and plug it into a power source.
    Note:If you use your computer without a battery or with a faulty battery, you could lose all unsaved changes if it’s unplugged while it’s on.
    BUT, the battery is not defective, as it works okay in another Macbook.
    I should also point out that the problem with the 5 indicator light flashes or with the battery did not exist before the 10.6.8 and the Firmware 1.4 updates.
    Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • MacBook Pro Won't Boot after Firmware Update

    So I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro which came in the mail yesterday. I removed the Apple-installed HD and swapped it out for a bigger, faster HD. I installed OS X from scratch, imported everything from my Time Machine backup during the Setup Assistant, and then started installing updates. Everything was running swimmingly until the last updates.
    What happened is when I rebooted my MacBook Pro and logged in after a series of updates, I got presented with both a Bluetooth update and a Firmware update at the same time. Both required a restart so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone. I installed the Bluetooth update, and then when it asked to reset I installed the Firmware update instead. However, the firmware update didn't behave as advertised because instead of shutting the MacBook Pro completely down, it restarted and then started installing the firmware update.
    Ever since the firmware update (which I think installed correctly but don't know how to verify), I cannot boot my MacBook Pro. Using the OS X install DVD I can view my firmware version using System Profiler, and the number it is reporting is MBP53.00A.B03.
    I have tried booting in verbose mode to try and get a feel for the problem, and it eventually hangs on an infinite loop saying something about not being able to find something on disk0s2.
    I also thought I would fix the problem by doing an Archive and Install, but it quit at the very beginning of installing with the error "unknown error".
    Also I thought I would format the disk with Disk Utility and then try installing again, but Disk Utility reports that it in unable to unmount the volume.
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    -- Update --
    Remember how I'm unable to unmount the drive? I force unmounted it and then used Disk Utility to repair the volume, but still no luck.
    I think the key to the problem is this new HD I put in runs at 3 Gbps. I think I read somewhere that the new MacBook Pro's don't support that.
    I think next I should try swapping out the new HD in my MacBook Pro with the one it originally came with. What do you think?

    I, too, have a brand new MBP 15" that I put an Intel X25 in. At the 1.5 (Prior to Firmware Update) setting, it worked fine. I rant the Firmware Update, all looked fine, but the drive is no longer able to be seen.
    Flash the PRAM, per other suggestions to no avail. Boot off of the DVD and disk utility nor Profiler sees the drive.
    Replace the drive with the stock that came with the MBP (which I had never even used) and it works.
    Put the Intel X25 into a Windows machine and it works fine. Reformatted it (in windows) and put it back into my MBP. Still not able to see it (from the Disk utility after booting off the DVD).
    Intel's firmware for the drive says its up-to-date (new drive) and if I attempt to "re-run" the Mac Firmware Update, it says that the machine is already up-to-date.
    Seems odd that it worked before an now it doesn't. Also seems odd that the X25 works in other machines. And that my MBP works just fine with the stock Hitachi 7200 320GB drive.
    Ideas? Intel says to call Apple Support. Not sure what I can say to them.

  • External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.

    External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
    I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
    the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
    The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    How is the hard drive formatted?
    Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
    (The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
    If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
    In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
    You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
    What do you see?

  • Need to do a clean install after firmware update

    i have to reinstall os x after the firmware update.
    it wont boot up just sticks on the grey logo and sinny thing.... grrrr
    will it be ok just to archive and install just leopard instead of tiger, then disc 2(the apps) then leopard??

    After installing the recent 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. 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.
    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.

  • Numerous issues after firmware updates

    After installing the latest firmware updates I've noticed several issues develop. Firstly, the keyboard and mighty mouse have become less responsive. Particularly within certain applications, for example in iPhoto there is so much latency with the mouse that it is nearly impossible to scroll across an event icon so that it will display the photos within the event. Or in the few games I play the mouse scrolls with a very jerky motion.
    Safari has also not been working well since the update. Certain links (java links maybe) simply no longer work. Or even within this forum, Topics are no longer displayed. I had use Camino to view these forums.
    The only reason I suspect that these issues are related to the firmware updates is that all of these issues arose immediately after installing the firm ware updates.
    So far I have repaired permissions and used OnyX to run all of the maintenance scripts and empty all of my caches, but no luck.
    If anyone can suggest something more to try or provide any insight, that would be great.

    Not only these issues, but my iMac has reverted to its original problem of having random freezes. Twice now I have had the screen completely lock while my music/video continued to play in the background, forcing me to force re-start and lose work.
    I don't have a clue what Apple thought they were fixing but if anyone knows how to downgrade firmware or if it's even possible please post up!

  • 27" iMac very sluggish after recent software/firmware update

    I bought my 27" iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM) maybe 6-7 months ago...and it has had NO problems. Even after updating to Lion. Smooth.
    But after the most recent graphics firmware update (Feb 29) and software update (late Feb/ealry March 2012...can't remember exact date)...now my iMac is so sluggish! Running more than one application really makes my iMac run slow. And I'm not talking about Photoshop...I'm talking about Firefox, Safari, Mail, iTunes. Basic ones. Especially bad when I play video...very choppy.
    Any clue what's going on? I ran Disk Utilitiy (all good, repaired permissions), Clean My Mac, CCleaner...all say good and healthy. So I am at a loss.
    Any help would be greatly be appreciated. I'm still under warranty...but I don't think I need to bring it in do I?
    Thanks!

  • Freeze at startup after System and Firmware update - Help!

    I took the automated system upgrade last Sunday including updates on a bunch of Apple applications, OS X 10.4.6 (it was included if I recall correctly) and a SMC Firmware update. After downloading all files and installing them my iMac restarted. After that the SMC Firmware upgrade started and I followed the instructions ending in another restart.
    This is where my problems began. At this startup I got through the grey screen with the Apple logo and got so far as to the blue screen with the Mac symbol saying something like "starting up". The progress bar started moving and froze after reaching about a fifth of its final length.
    As this was a firmware update I didn't want to interrupt anything so I left it for the night (no progress in the morning) and for the next day. Still no progress when I came home from work so I shut it down (pulled the power cord).
    Efter this I've tried to fall back using the Firmware Restoration CD available at Apple's support page, but this doesn't work. My iMac refuses to start the installation of the old Firmware even though I follow the fallback instructions. (After starting the computer and keeping the power on button pressed I wait for the front light below the screen to first flash rapidly for a while and then do a SOS (three short, three long and three short blinks). The SOS however, never happens, instead the computer proceeds directly to the grey startup screen before it freezes when it reaches the blue screen.
    I have no clue to what to do. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

    minxlj,
    It is not my intention to be rude, however, it is my intention to be direct. Do you have a G5 or do you have an Intel Core Duo, or perhaps even both? Because right now your signature says you have a G5, which has PPC chips in it made by IBM, not Core Duo chips made by Intel.
    The reason I ask is because, just as in another Discussion here in the Intel forum, you are responding to information that appears to not apply to the computer you say you have and you are giving information that, if you have a G5, does not apply to the computers of the folks here in the Intel forum.
    Could you please clear that up by correcting your signature so everyone here knows you are comparing oranges with oranges and not mangos with oranges?
    Staffan,
    As far as the SMC Firmware update and the Firmware Restoration CD, the two items are not related. The Firmware Restoration CD is only for the Firmware Update that came out in mid-April. It is intended for someone whose computer messed up in the application of the Firmware Update and is intended to bring their computer back to its Firmware state prior to the botched Firmware Update. It will not assist you if you had problems applying the SMC Firmware Update from early May.
    If I am understanding your description of your Mac's problem it sounds if if you have successfully installed the SMC firmware update, but now have a possible 3rd party satrtupitem that is not allowing your Mac's OS X to fully boot. You can check to see if both the Firmware Update and SMC Firmware Update have been successfully installed by booting your Mac into safe Mode by pressing the "Shift" key during startup. This boot will take longer than normal because it is verifying and repairing your directory. After the desktop appears, go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Contents section, highlight Hardware and Hardware Overview should show; Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03 for the Firmware update and SMC Version: 1.1f5 for the SMC Firmware Update.

  • 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???
