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?

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

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

'MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update (v2.3)' not installing

'MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update (v2.3)' not installing
I've tried multiple times now to install this update. When I do, it downloads and my computer will restart around 5 times with the 'beep' the first time. Once its finished the restarts and resumes normally, I check the Software Update via the Apple menu and it still appears in the list of updates.
What's the cause of this and what can I do to resolve this?

Is your machine plugged in when you do this? The firmware update will not take place unless your system is plugged in. You'll just get a black screen that flashes a few times and it will eventually boot regularly back to what it was. If the firmware is installing, you'll see a progress bar at the bottom of your display.

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:

Macbook air smc firmware update 1.7 wont install

I've tried installing it several times, both via the App Store & by downloading the dmg & running the installer. Every time I restart the computer, open the App Store & it's waiting as an available update. Either it isnt installing at all or it's installing but the App Store doesnt think it's installed.

Here it is...
/dev/disk0

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0

Hello,
I receive regular updates of the "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0" software. Each time I download, restart and let the update install. Each time it says update istalled succesfully... Yet each time I get the upgrade notice.
Worse now, iTunes says there is a software upgrade. But when I want to download it again I get the EFI upgrade announcement, but not the iTunes upgrade downloaded...
I've done a complete maintenance run, repair, rebuild, etc... but same results.
Thanks for any hint on what may be going wrong or how I can fix this.

I copied the version number from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1331. That may be a misprint or typo on Apple's part. I'm posting a message asking about that in a special forum available only to level 4 or 5 users that sometimes gets replies from the folks that maintain those articles.
If I hear anything that confirms that, I will post back here, but for now I think it is safe to assume "B05" is correct.

Macbook pro EFI firmware Update 1.4 won't work, neither will software

I got two probs, not sure how related they are.
#1 is that I can't successfully do the macbook pro EFI firmware Update 1.4. My computer was bootcamped and kept restarting in windows - thus the update was not completed - the completion bar would pop up for an instant - i could not see if it had completed, i don't think so... and then it would flash back to black, and restart again. Upon restart the firmware update was still there as needing to be updated.
I've now taken bootcamp off and restored a single drive. It's doing the same thing and hasn't updated.
#2 is that DVD studio pro will not boot anymore after it has been working with no problems for over a year. Nor will Motion run although it has never worked. I have tried reinstalling multiple times and just today went to delete the preferences. No luck.
Any suggestions or better yet, solution, I'm ever so grateful.
Cheers

I have the same problem. It's also important to note that, in my case, I'm running 10.7.2 (11C74), but it's a firmware update, so it shouldn't really matter if I'm running a beta version of Lion, should it?

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.

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!

Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.1 keeps repeating

Recently I had my MacPro motherboard replaced by an Authorized Repair Center, and for the most part, everything has been working great since. That said, as I've been performing my regular software updates, I've noticed that the "Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.1" keeps appearing as new update. I've installed this update multiple times now (or it seemed as though I did), but it keeps appearing with each new update.
Is there some way I can complete the update? Is it possible that there is some serial number conflict between my old/new motherboard that is preventing this? Do I need to return my machine to the repair center?
Thanks for any help.

Did you actually run the update from your Utilities folder (where I believe it ends up)? You'll go through a process of rebooting and hearing the long tone / seeing grey screen and progress bar. Until it's actually run properly, you'll keep seeing reminders.

Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update "An Unexpected Error Occurred (0)" HELP

Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update (Version 1.1) Size (970 KB)
"The SMC Firmware Update adjusts fan behavior in Mac Pro. The updater application will be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder and will launch automatically. Please follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the process."
-----THIS IS WHAT HAPPEND TO ME----I try this morning to install and this is what I got:
" An unexpected error occurred (0).
Your firmware can not be Updated. "
"See www.apple.com/support for more information."

Are you booting from RAID? even though it warns that you can't be booting from RAID, some people still run the update.
Any problem with your system?
While it only says that you need to quit any and all open programs, sometimes it helps to reboot (and boot into Safe Mode) just to begin the process.
When there was an SMC Firmware update before (last fall) some people also had trouble.
We aren't mind readers, and to say it failed doesn't give those of us reading this (and non of us are Apple tech support) a lot to go on.
+Please follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the process.+
+To update the SMC firmware on your Mac Pro:+
+Your computer’s power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source.+
+1. Quit all other open applications.+
+2. Click Restart in the Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update window and wait for your computer to restart.+
+The SMC firmware update starts automatically. A status bar indicates the progress of the update. During the update your computer fans will run at full speed, but will return to normal once the update completes.+
+Important: Do not interrupt the update.+
+Your computer restarts automatically when the update is completed and opens the Mac Pro SMC Firmware Update.+
+3. Click OK. The SMC firmware is now up-to-date.+
+If these instructions appear on your screen again, the SMC firmware update was not successful. Repeat steps 2 and 3.+
Note:
+This update requires a Macintosh formatted disk or partition. If you are starting up using a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) subsystem, you must attach a Macintosh formatted storage device to apply this update.+
*+Some USB and FireWire devices may prevent firmware updates from installing correctly.+*
*If you are having trouble installing an update try disconnecting non-essential devices and use only an Apple branded keyboard, mouse and monitor.+*
