EFI Firmware Update for Macbook Late 2008 aluminum

About MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.9
This update is recommended for MacBook Pro (mid 2012) models. This update resolves an issue which can cause the system to hang during heavy processor loads.
So i just read that Apple released that for macbook pros that are running mountain lion. I have moutain lion and feel that my computer is working heavy. I just updated to the new update and my computer wouldnt load up properly so i had to do a hard restart.
Hey Apple can i get an EFI update please? Also my computer gets exteremly hot over where the battery connects.

Deleting old "Bluetooth Firmware Updater" on MacBook!?

So I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard and installed the Bluetooth Firmware Updater on my MacBook. Looks like the updater is way outdated (the installation guide encourages you to install it on newer systems though) and now I can't get rid of it. It sits right under applications/utilities. Can I savely delete it or is there a cleaner approach?

The updater can be safely deleted if the keyboard is working as intended.

Firmware update made MacBook Pro hotter?

I just installed the SMC Firmware updater and now CoreDuoTemp reports an average of 63-64C. Before it was reporting around 34C on average. ***?

Are the fans now quieter, ie. did the install of SMC instruct the fans to slow down so as to specifically keep the CPU temp at 63-64C?

Firmware Update Increases Macbook Audio Level

Did anyone notice an increase in the audio level of their Macbook after update? It seems much louder now. It was previously difficult to hear.

I never had problem with the speaker loudness - but I do feel (just a feeling - not 100% sure) that the speakers are louder now. I can watch a movie from accross the room and still hear it clearly. Mind you, my house is whisper quiet =)

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update/Keyboard update- Do I need this?

Software update is offering me the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware update and a Keyboard Firmware update.
I have not experienced any issues at all with my MacBook Pro.
Should I install these updates anyway?
What is the best practice? Should one just update everything all the time? If I do not, could I fall behind, and could I be forced to dig up older updates down the road to catch up?
Thanks.

I just applied an EFI firmware update to a intel core 2 duo macbook, now it won't boot up

After applying an EFI firmware update, the Macbook just spins the optical drive when I start it up! I didn't see any indication that the EFI firmware update had any problems, so I'm stumped!

And if you can't get in, you can't read the Boot Rom version…
I suspect the update may have been OK for the MB but not for the OS version.
Unfortunately I have no idea if it's even possible to roll back a firmware update, or to maybe install a later OS like 10.6 while it's in that condition.
Bigger guns than me needed here, I'm afraid.

WiFi Problems - TC to MP, since recent firmware update

Hello,
i found some threads about other people having trouble here, but nothing seemed to fit my situation.
I have 2 Macs - a Mac Pro (Early 2008) and a MacBook (Late 2008). And a Time Capsule, which i purchased sometime between the Macs. Up to now, everything worked perfect, both machines were connected via WiFi to the TC. But since the recent firmware update, the MacBook works fine with the TC, absolutely no problems, but the Mac Pro (a bit longer distance) doesn't work any longer.
This started on Friday (i don't use the MP daily), it was impossible to get a WiFi connection, tried re-entering connection data and so - no success.
On Saturday, i used the cable to check the TC configuration, everything worked fine, and after fiddling around with the setup, i finally got WiFi working again.
Sunday - MP was off all the day.
Today - Just powered it up, no WiFi. When i disable and re-enable AirPort, it gets a connection for a second or 2, but then drops it. If i get a connection, i have a strong signal (all bars black), so signal quality isn't an issue. And before the update, everything worked fine, the only change is the firmware update last week.
The MacBook doesn't have any issues, no matter, where it is located. I'm currently writing this post on it while syncing some home directory stuff with the MP (MB connected via WiFi, MP connected via cable).
So what is this new problem? After damaging USB to complete unusability, Apple now continues with the WLAN features? What comes next? When will all this be fixed?
Meanwhile, i think it was not the best idea to switch to Apple about a year ago. The continous quality drops get painful meanwhile. I wonder when my iPhone gets unusable (which also works fine with the TC, by the way

Hi again,
okay. It really was the 7.4.1 firmware. This morning, i reverted to 7.3.2, did a full reset, reconfigured everything, and now my network works fine as it did before.
It seems to be important to reconfigure the TC, as just downgrading the firmware didn't really help, while full reconfig with 7.4.1 also doesn't help.
I now turned off the automatic search for new versions on the TC. I will be informed by the AP Express, which has no problems with 7.4.1 yet.
Hope, Apple re-introduces quality control soon and doesn't make the customers be the beta-testers.

EFI Firmware update 1.4 was not successful, no progress bar

I have a MacBook Pro 2.16 Core 2 (MBP22.00A5.B02). Software update prompts me to download and update the Firmware 1.4 udpate. After following the instructuions, shutting down the computer, and restarting holding down the power button, I hear the beeps but nothing comes up but a blank (grey/white) screen. After several minutes (like 10) it restarts and the updater returns and shows not successful.
I tried to archived and reinstalled the OS with no luck
I have a 160GB Hitachi HD that came as ordered when I bought the computer new.
I have verified that the HD is GUID partition scheme
Only upgrade I have done is an extra 1GB stick of samsung original memory from OWC
I was hoping the firmware update might help cool down (and quiet down) this noisy "pro" laptop, but no luck. Please help someone.

Hi macinfrance!
I installed the EFI Firmware update successfully on my computer.
It seems to me that your list of nvram is lacking an entry telling your bootloader (boor.efi) exists on your normal harddrive partition.
I suggest the following (i am not quite sure if it will work):
1. Go to the system preferences and select the startdisk fane. Then, be sure to select your system harddrive.
2. Then restart your computer.
3. Make a restore CD in case something goes wrong (instructions at: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcd14.html )
4. Try the firmware update again.
When i type nvram i get the following contents:

The first entry is referring to the normal system partition where the loader for the Mac OS resides. The second entry is referring to the hidden EFI partition on the harddrive and the new EFI firmware image.
Hope this helps.

Seems I need firmware update but it doesn't start

MacBook Pro 17"
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz
Version Boot ROM: MBP52.008E.B05
Version SMC: 1.42f4
Apple SSD TS128A 128Gb, Revision: AGAB0202
I always experienced short gaps in responsiveness of my laptop, problably due to SSDrive, but that never annoyed me.
Than this gaps became more and more long, especially after laptop wakes up and now are annoying.
So I searched for a firmware update and, according to the scheme reported at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237? ,
I found my laptot can accept EFI 1.8 Firmware update. But downloaded and launched it my MacBook reports that it doesn't need that upgrade and so all other intermediate Firmware updates for MacBook Pro (EFI 1.6 and 1.7). I connected my Mac to mains, closed all application and downloaded all with Safari 5.0.5. So what was wrong?
Incidentally in that scheme my MacBook is indicated as "early 2009", elsewhere as "mid 2009".
Apart from firmware upgrades, what can I do to solve that gaps? Thank you,
Antonello

See if you can boot into safe mode by holding down the shift key immediately after pressing the start button. Keep holding the shift key till a loading progress bar appears on the lower part of the screen. It will take a lot longer than normal to start this way. If you have Lion 10.7 installed you can try holding command-R keys to get intto recovery mode and run disk utility.

SMC Firmware Update

Hi,
I am wondering what results people have seen from the SMC update, I am not ready to install it yet....

I wonder why the firmware update only causes these issues on certain MacBooks?
Both the "random shutdown" and "vertical streaks on boot" issues existed before the firmware update came out, but again, those two issues only happened on certain MacBooks.
Since the firmware update for MacBooks is the same (i.e. the update I downloaded that didn't cause any problems on my MacBook is the exactly same update you downloaded only to have problems you've never had before), I'm wondering if there's some hardware differences between MacBooks that are causing the issues in the first place, and the firmware update is bringing them to light.
For the record, I have a 1.83 MacBook that before the update didn't have the random shutdown issue (but had the horizontal line issue once). After the firmware update, it hasn't had the random shutdown issue nor the horizontal line issue.

Macbookpro Firmware Update

Apple sent an unasked for Firewire firmware update for Macbook Pro. The installation instruction did not warn of the implications if the machine was turned off while the upload was taking place. It was inadvertently turned off and we now have a useless machine and an extremely expensive repair. According to Apple staff this is a well known cause and effect in the industry of a firmware update. But many customers are not in the industry and do not know the difference between firmware, hardware and software. We have been landed with costs that could have been avoided if the update was sent only to customers who needed it or a warning provided about the implications if the power supply is interrupted.
We have had a problem with the charging of the battery on this machine since it was purchased in November 2006 and one battery has been replaced by Apple. We have now been told by Apple, it is not the battery at fault, but the charging mechanism within the machine. Who is responsible us or the manufacturer even though we are a few weeks out of warranty?

Frankly, this is a question only Apple can answer. This is a user to user discussion board. Apple policy is not discussed nor speculated on. Seems kind of brain loss to shut the Mac down while it is installing something. Apple does not send unasked for firmware updates. Software Update probably indicated that the update was available. You always have the option not to do an update.
