Flash Storage Firmware / Mavericks Upgrade issue

I'm attempting to upgrade to Mavericks through the app store on my Macbook Air 2012, however I keep getting an error: "Before installing OS X Mavericks, this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1."
I've completed this upgrade and restarted (twice).
As a note, this update does not show under my "Updates" tab - I had to grab it from the Apple website, which I did (link: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1690)
Thoughts on to what may be going on?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately the issue isn't that the update is showing under my "updates" tab, it's that nothing is showing under the tab. I've already updated the firmware (ss attached) and rebooted post updated.

  • Can't install os mavericks because don't have macbook air flash storage firmware update 1.1; can't install firmware update because OS is too old (10.7.4)

    Hello, I have a Macbook Air, bought May 2012 or so that came with OS 10.7.4 on it.  Did not try to upgrade OS until recently.  Tried to upgrade to OS Mavericks, however received error message 'Before installing OS X Mavericks this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1."  I then downloaded and attempted to install said Firmware Update 1.1, but received another error message, to wit: "This update requires 10.7.5 or 10.8.5 or later"
    Who can help me out the this Catch-22?  I thought about first updating to OS 10.8, but apparently that is no longer available?

    Hi CursedIn,
    If the Firmware update required for Mavericks requires 10.7.5 to install, you may be able to download it directly from the following link:
    OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)

    OK. Now, you say you got this alert through App Store when trying to download Mavericks or after you downloaded it and were trying to install it? Which is the correct case?
    The error you are getting may sometimes occur when the computer has already been updated, but I don't know why you would be getting this message. I can only suggest that you take it in for service to find out why this is happening.

  • How can I find MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware update 1.1 to enable me to download and install iOS X Maverick?

    MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1.
    I have a mid 2012 MacBook air. I just upgraded to Maverick. As part of the upgrade the ssd was checked and I got a message that my ssd was successfully upgraded and that it is fine. After two days a lost most of the data that was inside it.  Some photos songs and OS were not affected. All my document folder was erased and I lost all my work. Can you tell me if I need to go and replace the ssd or is this a normal issue with the upgrade to Mavrick?

    MacBook Air computers sold between June 2012 through June 2013 with 64 or 128 GB SSDs are known to have a high SSD failure rate and Apple is replacing them for free.
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/
    You should maintain current backups.  Given the known failure rate of your SSD that is especially important.

  • Can't install MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1

    My macbook air is mid 2012
    And I just update the mac on Oct 15
    And today I heard about the ssd failure thing.
    I head to appstore and find 0 updates there.
    Then I download the MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1 here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1690
    And it says "This computer does not need this update"
    Does this mean my mac is good? Or not?

    Firmware update tests the computer first to make sure that the SSD is not a faulty one.
    Then update will not be installed and returns the message
    "This computer does not need this update".
    Does this mean my mac is good? Or not?
    Your Mac is good.
    Best.

  • Where is "MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.0" ?

    Why MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.0 is unavailable for download now?

    It's here:

    ... but if Software Update does not find it and install it for you, there's probably a good reason.

  • I have a macbook air from mid 2012. After installing the MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1 my computer shuts down instead of restarting. Does my macbook need a replacement drive?

    Anyone experience the same result after installing MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1? Why did my macbook shut down?

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:

    If this does not help, contact Apple.

  • Macbook air flash storage firmware update 1.0 make me crazy

    Hi,
    I've a mba late 2012, bought just 3 days ago. It has warranty, and it's all ok, except for this F*****G storage firmware update.
    AppStore notified of this, so i connect to power source, and install ( FileVault is disabled ).
    and here, starts trouble:
    1. The notebook reboot after install instead of shut down -> and I can acceptate this, i've read that's very common!
    2. I watch SERIAL ATA revision AND IT'S AGREE WITH APPLE -> TPVABBF0
    3. So, theorically, it's all ok. But, however the firmware revision it's updated, the appStore still repeats me to install it!!!
    Any helps will be apreciated, i'm at pain threshold and i want mavericks.
    Thx!

    The update requires 10.7.5 be installed. If yours has no modifications then it has 10.7.4 installed, so you will first need to update OS X.

  • Mavericks Upgrade Issues

    What are the issues, if any, in upgrading to Mavericks? Have bugs been minimized? Equipment incompatability? Software incompatability?

    Have bugs been minimized?
    I've not encountered any bugs myself.
    Equipment incompatability? Software incompatability?
    No one here can answer that as no one knows what equipment or software you have. You will need to check with the manufacturers/developers on the versions which are or are not compatible.
    FWIW, your profile shows you are running 10.6.4 - you will need to update to 10.6.8 to get the app store so you'll be able to download anything from there.

  • 10.9.4 Maverick Upgrade - Issue with multiple monitors

    I have just upgraded to Maverick and there seems to be a problem with my second monitor now going to a black screen every time I use the mouse or scroll up and down a page. Is there a fix for this? Any help would be appreciated as it is very annoying.

    This is being discussed in a number of threads - unfortunately there is no single thread, but this one is most recent: Second display problem with 10.9.4
    (More unfortunately, there is no fix and Apple generally hasn't been giving a scheiß about the issue since it first cropped up in 10.9.3...)

  • Maverick upgrade issue : OS X cannot start up from this disk

    Hi all, everytime I try to upgrade to Maverick for my new mackbook air, I got this problem 'OS X cannot start up from this disk' (MACOSX). I tried deleting files to get more space, repairing disk and determine that it is not time machine issue, but to no avail.  I have 58 gb free space on my 128 gb SSD.  Can anyone help ? It is really frustrating.  I am not sure what is the other disk called OS X install ESD which is 5.42 GB total.

    I'm trying to upgrade my tiger installation with leopard, but I get the message "Mac os x cannot start up from this volume". It is the internal disk and I have a Linux install too on that disk. Earlier I used Refit but I have removed it. Do I have to repartition? Partiontabel is GUID-partiontable in diskutil.
    Removing an app or bootloader like rEFIt or OS such as Linux does not ensure that the drive is back to where it was before you installed these programs.
    Even having a partition for TechTools eDrive will cause problems.
    First I would run DU and check/repair your HD and then run a file permission verify/repair and zap the PRAM.
    I would then suggest backing up Tiger and Linux with clones and completely erasing the HD using the full (not quick) erase and then installing Leopard and migrating your Tiger material back.

  • Gmail / apple mail, assuming mavericks upgrade issue. Messages from/to and subject header do not match displayed message

    Hi Everyone
    Hoping someone has had a similar issue and can help me sort it out.
    Since Upgrading to mavericks a few weeks ago, I notice the follwoing issue in my apple mail when searching older messages (newer ones seem fine at the moment).
    A lot ( I cant say all, but quite a few well into the 80-90% plus of messages sent pre update) have gotten scrambled. I can search from/ to and subject headers, and they correspond with each other. But when i select the message Im looking for, the message desplayed is from a different sender (with a diferent subject)
    Ex I search for JohnDoe (happens if i use search function or just go manually looking thru folders) and subject "Quote", Message comes up (or I find as in manual search). When i select the message the message displayed is not the correct one. Its From JaneDoe with a subject "Thanksgiving" and its message.
    Obviously making it a little tricky to track down previous emails.
    My mail provider is Gmail (which I have heard mavericks / apple mail have been having lots of issues with).
    Hopeefully someone knows what I can do
    Thanks
    BigRed81

    Hello BigRed81,
    I have a question on this subject.  I am having the same issue.  I followed the link to the support page for rebuidling a mailbox.  It states :
    "When you rebuild mailboxes for IMAP and Exchange accounts, locally stored messages and attachments are discarded, and the messages and attachments are downloaded again from the server to your Mac. Your mailbox appears empty until the download is complete."
    I use gmail just for my Inbox.  I pull off all of my messages from the server by filing them on my mac.  So my concern is if I rebuild a mailbox, my mail account is gmail imap, and I do not have copies of my emails on the gmail server anymore that I will lose the majority of my mail because there is nothing to download again. 
    Do you know if this will happen?  Or I should not be concerned?
    Thanks

  • Flash builder 4.7 upgrade issue from Flash builder 4.5 (key is not valid)

    Hi,
          We (Company) are buying Adobe products more than 6-7 years now. We bought the Flash builder premium 4.5 and Flash builder premium 4.5 for PHP volume licence. Now flash builder 4.7 should be complementary upgrade for us. But when we are using Flash builder 4.7 trial version and adding serial number (Flash builder 4.5 serial number), it's just not working and showing a error "key is not valid".
    I chat with Adobe customer care 4 different people, they end up saying that let us transfer you to volume licence department and then chat ended. No more chat messages, I checked more than one hour and still no message.
    Then I called they, it took 15 mins to connect with customer care. I picked the "upgrade" option from phone menu and then connected with a guy. After listening complete case he forwarded my call to Volume licence executive and the volume licence executive transferred it to some other guy and the other guy redirect it to some specialized person. So total 4 guys. The last guy (specialized) name was Rohit.
    This guy Rohit asked me, did I buy a customer support programme (some product about $2.nn.00 )? I said no, we bought volume licenses for Flash builder premium 4.5 ( about $4000.00 ****). He said, sorry sir I can not help you in this, but I can provide you an e-mail address and you can report your concern there. I already passed my 1.5 hour in this conversation. I said okie. He gave me a case number and told me that he will send a email mentioning that email address as per my request I disconnect the phone.
    I never get that email address.
    Can some one suggest me what to do next. My case number is : 209-788-274.
    My email is: [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Amitabh Arya

    I have the same problem, and i have send request complementary upgrade (Adobe® Flash® Builder® 4.7 Complimentary Upgrade), and only received a Acrobat change licensed...
    I´m working with 4.7 Beta the last mounths, and now all the days have to see "please enter your license". So one problem that you can jump with money (if you have that money..), isn´t a problem. Like a i have license from flex 3, upgrade to flex 4, and upgrade to flex 4.5, i´m going to take de upgrade from 4 standard to 4.7 standard (47,97 euros), and not waste my time and money on calls. So yes, I'll see adobe with another eyes...

  • MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.0

    I have tried to install this firmware update 5 times today.  Rather than doing a simple shutdown once it is "ostensibly" installed, I get a restart button - which restarts the machine rather than waiting the "one minute" that the installation instructions suggest is necessary for the firmware update.
    I have a mid 2012 macbook air 11 inch, no modifications.

    The update requires 10.7.5 be installed. If yours has no modifications then it has 10.7.4 installed, so you will first need to update OS X.
