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?

Ghosting (burn-in) on MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) after installing OS X Yosemite

Has anyone started noticing ghosting (burn-in) on your laptop screen after installing OS X Yosemite ?
I'm using MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012).

Hi,
I may have noticed the same thing, (Should I be concerned about colors behind grey login screen at startup?). I called apple support and it appears that the screen background is "slightly visible" after the update. You can change your background and see if your ghosting image moves accordingly. The white bleed through in my images, happens to be from Earthdesk which displays a map as a background. You might be seeing a similar effect.

Can't boot MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) after installing the update SMC 1.6

First for a long time was a white screen and noisy cooler
After the system battery icon was crossed out and the indicator on the left side of macbook does not show anything and everything worked cooler at high speed (he was cold macbook)
After reboot appeared and the system has stopped running
Few days ago I have installed Mac Os X 10.6.4 but when the system had started working I saw my desktop it was at least 2-3 sec, after that macbook went to sleep mode. I pressed any key macbook and system started working, but without lighting screen. I used bright lamp and saw that all shortcuts and indicators (like wifi, battery etc.) have appeared on my desktop. After 2-3 sec macbook went to sleep mode again. Pressing on buttons and light from lamp gave me possibility to done update to 10.6.5 and after to 10.6.8. But at the end situation was not changed.
When I boot macbook with using install DVD, I can use all utilities (disk utility, network util etc.) and macbook don't goes to sleep mode and screen has light. In my opinion reason of this - not correct installation latest EFI or SMC updates. I tried to install EFI update 2.0 and SMC 1.5 for 10.6.5/10.6.8, but system showed me that I can't do this update. I'll try to find some way to make EFI update, maybe this would help me solve this problem. P.S. answer from Applle support: Our updates can't to break your macbook... it's just coincidence. Probability theory it's just mystification
this is info about my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) MC374ll/A. As you can see I have SMC version 1.68f99 instead 1.62f7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 - I found information about right version SMC for my MacBook Pro mid 2010 13" from this table.
If somebody has same problem, welcome to discussion. Maybe we'll find way to solve this problem... Or Apple will make fixes for us.

After some time, I found answer how I can repair my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010). As I was writing early - Mac Os X update SMC 1.6 broke my computer.
This is a link on repair instructions: http://habrahabr.ru/sandbox/67092/
As a result I write this post on my old (but working) MacBook Pro.

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)

MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1

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.

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 Pro 15 mid 2012 friezes in the games.

Добрый день! Возникла проблема с моим Macbook про 15 mid 2012. С некоторых пор появились фризы в играх, вне зависимости от сложности игры и ее 2D или 3D движка.
Отнес в официальный сервис, провели диагностику, ничего не выявили. Почистили, заменили термопасту, и сказали мне, что просто игры становятся сложнее а ноутбук не успевает за ними. И в заключении написали не подтвердились проблемы заявленные мной.
По моему меня просто проигнорировали.
Предположу что проблема в видеочипе. Но почему при принудительной смене на интегрированный чип, ничего не поменялось.
Что было сделано еще до сервисного центра.
Была обновлена Йосимите до последней версии, затем в качестве проверки, была установлена Маверикс.
Ничего не изменилось.
Good afternoon! There was a problem with my Macbook pro 15 mid 2012. For some time now there friezes in the games, regardless of the complexity of the game and its 2D or 3D engine.
Took it to the official service, held diagnostics have revealed nothing. Cleaned, replaced the thermal paste, and told me that just the game become more complex and the laptop does not have time for them. And finally wrote not confirmed the problem stated by me.
In my opinion I just ignored.
I suppose that the problem in the video chip. But why the forced change in the integrated chip, nothing has changed.
What has been done before the service center.
Yosimite been updated to the latest version, then as a test, was set Mavericks.
Nothing has changed.

Забыл добавить. Проблема одинакова Windows или OS X. Игры в которых проблемы выявлены: Craft the world, World of tanks, Warthunder, Diablo 3. И если три последние чтото требуют от системы, то первая которая на видео это 2д игра для любого типа видеокарт.
Forgot to add. The problem is the same Windows or OS X. Games in which problems are identified: Craft the world, World of tanks, Warthunder, Diablo 3. And if something last three require the system, which is the first video on this 2d game for any kind of video cards.

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.

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.

ITunes 10.7 will not launch after installing the OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004

This evening I installed the Mac OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004. I'm posting this to see if others have the same problem, plus to find out if there's a way to uninstall a security update.
All was fine before the update, but now iTunes 10.7 won't launch as it quits unexpectedly and gives me a Problem Report to send to Apple (which was sent).
iTunes will also not launch while logged in under other users. I tried rebooting.
My iMac cannot be updated past OS 10.6.8. I can't live without iTunes.
Let me know If I should post more system info.
Thanks for the help,
Carl.

You could try downgrading iTunes to an older version?
Just drag the iTunes.app to the trash and reinstall an older version, you should be able to find one in the Support Downloads, this may fix your problem.
Note, iTunes 10.7 is needed for any devices with iOS 6

Can't install Windows 8.1 on Macbook Pro (mid 2012) after installing/removing refit

So I recently installed and removed rEFit on my macbook (I was trying to clone a windows install to the drive to keep it handy, and thought I'd need it to boot from the install), and haven't been able to get Windows 8.1 (x64) to install since -- I keep getting an error message (0x C0000005). I've tried removing all the partitions the installer makes, leaving extra room, etc, but nothing works. I tried to run the EFI updater, but it says it isn't supported by the system (I downloaded the 9,1 version).
Anyone have any ideas?

Quick update -- I've tried resetting the pram, running the windows startup repair, and running bootrec.exe through the command prompt. No luck with those so far.
Just opened disk utility and saw the screenshot below....could be part of it, but I've deleted the partitions several times...

Macbook pro15 retina mid 2012 bootcamp probs

Hi everyone!
i just installed windows 7 home premium 64 bit on my 15 inch macbook pro retina mid 2012,
After i installed the bootcam 5 driver from Apple website, i have some problem such as:
- My internet connection drop after a few minutes the reconnect than drop..... It's said no internet connection. It's not happen when i'm on MacOS Maverick just when i'm in Windows.
- When i try to install graphic card driver, it's said " failed to install " i have to download from the NVIDIA website but it seem not to work very well.
When i'm playing game on windows 7 it's Lag and jiggle even with Lowest setting. I did searched over the internet and found out that it's a common problem for this Macbook pro retina mid 2012, it's believed that problem happened due to the bootcamp driver for windows but Apple still have no response to fix this.
My macbook pro has 16 Gb ram and 1 Gb GT650M, so i believed that it couldnt happen like this if i'm playing game in lowest setting.
Anyone have any suggestion on how i can fix those problems? It's very annoying when it's keep disconnecting to the internet

Hello gerwintiemens,
I recommend resetting your SMC and your PRAM. Perhaps even a safeboot as well.
