Hi, anyone else try this firmware update: MacBook Pro SMC Firmwar

hi there, i installed the firmware update (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3) which went well as usual, but now my machine is noticeably hotter when just sitting idling, which it does most of the day. I have SMC fan control installed but never needed it before this update. Is there any explanation for this? The update was supposed to change the way the fans operate, but I cant find any more info then that. Cheers!

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3 update freezes mouse pointer

After installing the update released today 5/28 (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3) my mouse pointer stalls, freezes on occasion. Very annoying. Anyone seeing the same. Fixes ... ?

After applying the SMC Firmware update a few days ago, my keyboard and trackpad were acting erratic (freezing, hanging). It was immediately after the update and I had not had any problems with it before.
I have also had random crashes, inability to use the keyboard/trackpad ever since.
Today my keyboard and trackpad are completely unusable, external mouse works fine.
I will take it to an Apple store tomorrow, hopefully my firmware can be reverted.
Sounds like a lot of other people are having problems with this update. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9549034&tstart=0#9549034

Changed the loading screen BMP...anyone else try this? zen x

Hi everyone.
I just found out you could change the loading screen on the NOMAD CREATIVE ZEN XTRA(40 gig)
I wasn't even sure what the loading screen was.......but after shutting it down it quickly flashed my image.........except it was blurry and hard to read...with some trial and error moves, I was albe to get it more visible, but im sure it could look better
HAS ANYONE ELSE TRIED THIS?
If so, what type of pictures work best?
Should they be black and white, negati've inverted?........whats the best visible?
---To change the screen, click the 2 mechanical looking COGS logo that is up at the top underneath the tool bar of the creative organizer......then go to change loading screen BMP

Trance,
Well, you don't actually need to hack it. Just use the MediaSource software and you can change the picture for the player.

Anyone else Try this?

MBP 5.5
OSX 10.6.8
Was having problems with wifi connection dropping especially to Airport Express.
Read something about this, perhaps on ASC, unchecked the box "Ask to join new networks" in Network Preferences", and the connection became stable. I left things alone for a few days without any problems.
Then I went to 7.6 Airport Express firmware.
Seeing as I was on a roll upgraded Safari to 5.1.2 and everything seems to be wonderful.
I noticed Airport was busy polling other networks all the time and figured it was worth a shot.
Not sure what the default Network Preference Setting is but I am running problem free. Woo Hoo!

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.6 DIDN'T solve my battery issue.

About two weeks ago I opened my MacBook Pro in the morning to find it was off. I left it on overnight and up until that morning it was still holding a very good charge for being 2.5 years old (could still get ~4 hours web browsing). When I plugged my charger in it only showed a green light. When everything was turned on and loaded I looked at my battery icon and it said (and still does say) 0% charged, not charging, replace now. I know my battery isn't holding as much a charge as before, I had it checked back in August and it was still holding 83%.
When the recent firmware update came out I thought it would solve the problem because the patch described exactly what my problem was. My charge cycle is at 1060 right now. After I installed the update there was no change in my battery though.
Thoughts anyone? Are there more steps I need to take in order to have my battery work properly again?
Thanks!

With 1060 cycles on your battery, you have experienced better battery life than most MBP users. In all likelihood a new battery would be the best course of action. However if you want, post an image of your MBP System Profiler>Hardware Overview>Hardware>Power like this example:
Ciao.

Rare battery issue that "MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7" was supposed to address.

I recently downloaded this update that is supposed to "address a rare issue on some Apple notebooks where a battery that has accumulated more than 1000 charge cycles may unexpectedly shut down or stop functioning." This did nothing for my battery, which has been completely shot for the past six months. My MacBook Pro is essentially a desktop now because it constantly has to be plugged in. My battery only had between 200-300 cycles when it shutdown. Apple service would not replace the battery free of charge because I was off my warranty, even though I knew this was a factory defect. My question is now that Apple has acknowledged that some of the MacBook Pros had faulty batteries, will they replace them free of charge even if i'm off warranty? It seems ridiculous that I have to pay $200 plus to fix a problem that was their fault in the beginning by supplying faulty batteries.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple has fixed the battery problem by a SMC update, so the 1000 cycles problem is now fixed, and your problem is different.
During the first year of warranty, if your battery fails, you will get it repaired for free. However, if it fails when the warranty has expired, you will have to pay unless you have purchased AppleCare.
If it's a common problem with a lot of MacBooks Pro, Apple will start a replacement program, where they will repair all batteries affected for free. This is the only exception, so you will have to pay because your warranty expired

How do I know if the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.4 was installed

I just ran the Software Update and the 10.6.5 update the the SMC 1.4 update were available. Both required a reboot and I didn't think I should update both at the same time. I did the 10.6.5 update first then after it completed I did the SMC 1.4 update.
The SMC update installed just as the knowledge base page said it would. But how do I know if it was installed?
My SMC firmware is at version 1.27f3. The MacBook Pro is version 4,1.
David.

Thanks for the info.
I guess the only other question I have is, was the firmware already at 1.27f3 before the update or was it updated to the version?

Firefox crashes when i clear recent history if multiple tabs are open, is anyone else experiencing this?

Firefox crashes (hangs, requires me to force close, and then doesn't actually clear the history) when i clear recent history if multiple tabs are open, i do this so i only lose the history and can maintain the tabs i want for the next session.
I have always done this in Versions 3 without an issue, since moving to Version 4 it happens semi regularly. the more tabs i have open the higher the likelyhood of an error
is anyone else experiencing this?
Windows 7 pro sp1
firefox 4
addons: no script, adblock, pterodactl, imagezoom, reddit reveal, java, tinyeye, better privacy.

This happens to me too. OS winXP home.

The recent firmware for Macbook Pro (2011) won't install

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7
I tried to install this but all I got was the gray screen of doom. After 12 hours of the gray screen, unplugged and let the battery run down. Macbook booted up (yay) and the software update says it still needs to be installed.
Should I just skip it and play the rare odds?
Thanks.

I had this same problem, but stopped it after 2 1/2 hours. I did a hard shutdown (held down the power button until it powered down), waited a few minutes and then started it back up. Thank goodness the MBP came back. Must be something wrong with this update. Wonder if Apple knows about it? Do their techs watch this forum?
First time I've had problems like this installing an Apple update.

Firmware for MacBook Pro 17 not available

I would like to install latest MacBook pro SMC firmware
to be able to control fan and get rid of that called
"cow fan noise"
Unfortunately, that firmware update do not applied to
MacBook Pro 17 "
Why MBP 17 " could not get those additional fan
control features ?!

...because the SMC update is not required for the 17" or the new 15" MBPs - the update was already applied at the factory.

MSN's latest update is crashing Firefox many times per day. When I try to send the crash report to Firefox, it says it has trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting that can help?

Firefox is crashing every time I have my MSN email account up. (Since I use it for business, that's many times per day.) It seems to coincide with hotmail's latest update where the email is checked and downloaded to the inbox automatically. Then when it asks me if I want to send the crash report to Firefox, I select yes and it tells me it had trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I can change? I can't seem to keep my email account up for more than 10 minutes.
p.s if you're reading this Microsoft, it's still not bad enough to make me to go back to Internet Explorer!

Hi,

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
