IMac SMC Firmware Update 1.1 will not load. Help!

I have just purchased an iMac with a Fusion drive. The App Store tells me to install "iMac SMC Firmware Update 1.1." I have tried to do so several times, leaving the computer alone until it restarts itself. But the update does not seem to have taken place: the udate is listed among the updates accomplished, but it continues to appear at the top of the screen as the available update and the badge for an update still appears in the App Store icon.
Any suggestions? Is that a faulty upgrade? Have I got an faulty Mac?

But isn't the Fusion drive in part a flash drive?
And if I don't need it, how do I dismiss it? Will my App Store Icon forever have a red badge telling me I have an unneeded update to install?

    According to > EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Macs

    In addition, it looks to me like there never was an update for the Mac Mini 6,2 model.

  • MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.

    Hi
    The latest MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
    It runs and I restart my Mac but when I search for more updates it appears as a required update again.
    Anyone know why this may be?

    I had the same problem today. I called Apple support who transferred me to second level support and no resolution. I decided to try a combination of the items I have seen below.
    I restarted my computer. I went to apple support download and downloaded the software EFI firmware update 2.0 by typing in search window. I made sure the power cord was pulled into the wall and the laptop had a FULL charge. I installed the update and the computer restarted.
    I went to check the software update window after the update and restart completed and SUCCESSFUL.
    I do not know why the Genius Bar or the second level support could not resolve my issues but, by me reading information here I hope at least this issue is resolved.
    Thanks ALL.......... Happy Mac ing

  • After downloading latest quicktime update, itunes store will not load

    Has anyone had this same problem after downloading latest quicktime update. iTunes store will not load.

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.

  • 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."

    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?

    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.

  • After update finished-browser will not load on user site

    i upgraded to firefox 4 from 3.6. when the upgrade finished- the browser will not load on one of my user sites. the upgrade froze half way through and the computer restarted on that site. no matter how many times i try to finish the upgrade, it gives me the same results- the browser will not load even though the upgrade window tells me it is finished-every time i try to open the browser window it never comes up

    I googled my problem and found myself at some place with a link
    This was not an Adobe Forum.
    I clicked the link (legitimate) and the update was perfect.
    When I first went to adobe to update , it failed. Gave me some error thing.[ I never update from a popup.]
    Only from the real website. I tried to get help from chat and they referred me to the forum where I guess you found my question.
    I hope this helps someone. All is good now.

  • Firmware Update 1.2 will NOT install.

    Hi, I have a 20" Intel Core 2 Duo iMac; 2.16GHz late 2006 Model. Today, I tried to update the firmware when apple told me on the software update that I need to update my firmware. I downloaded the firmware update program. In the Utilities I double clicked on it and it started. It said that I needed to close all my applications which I did and click shutdown. After clicking shutdown it told me to push the power button to restart it manually. It started up and a progress bar appeared on the screen for about 1 second, then it disappeared. The computer restarted itself and it came back to the desktop with the firmware update program saying the same text box as before. It said if this box reappears then the firmware was not properly updated. So, what should I do? The only hardware changes I've made to my computer recently was updating my memory to 2 GB from the original 1 GB. Could that cause this problem? If not, what should I do? Also... the firmware version in the system profiler was the same as before IM51.0090.B08. Please only respond if you have encountered this exact situation before or know the solution, don't reply if you just have hypotheticals that are not directly related.

    Bobby..I can't say that I know the solution for sure...but I do have the exact same model iMac as you..and the 1.2 Firmware installed perfectly for me
    Reading your post...I am wondering if you held down the power button long enough to hear the rapid beeps while the iMac is restarting and/or the fast flashing of the light on the front of your iMac... mine did both...could be the problem if you didn't hold it long enough...it took about 3 minutes for the update to install
    Since you saw the text box and the firmware was not properly updated I believe it said to apply the update again

  • Keyboard firmware update 1.0 will not install

    Hi - I think others have had similar problems, but I don't know if a solution exists?
    When software opens on our macbook here at work, we get a message that there is an update available for the keyboard. It should ensure that the first keystroke is recognized after the macbook's been asleep and solve a few other problems. Well, the first keystroke isn't generally recognized, so I decided to try again to install it. Here is what happens:
    It downloads perfectly, as far as I can tell.
    The machine restarts.
    The software tries to install itself. It quits less than halfway through, giving me an error message and then, "your keyboard firmware could not be updated". This has happened twice over the past three months or so. What is this update, how important is it, and how on earth do I get it to install?
    TIA!

    First, does your MacBook meet the following requirements:
    System Requirements
    Installation of MacBook and MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 requires Mac OS X 10.5.2.
    Note the above because it does not appear that you have a version of Leopard installed.
    The MacBook and MacBook Pro Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 supports the following products:
    MacBook (Late 2006)
    MacBook (Mid 2007)
    MacBook (Late 2007)
    MacBook Pro (17-inch Core 2 Duo)
    MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo)
    MacBook Pro (Mid 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz)
    MacBook Pro (Late 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz)
    When will the keyboard firmware be updated?
    This update installs an application in the Utilities folder called "Built-in Keyboard Firmware Update." The updater application will automatically open. Once open, please follow the instructions within the application to complete the update. It can also be manually run later by double-clicking the updater in the Utilities folder.
    Second, I would download and install the standalone version rather than using Software Update.

  • Macbook efi firmware update 1.1 will not install

    When I check for software updates, there is an update that is labeled "Macbook EFI firmware update 1.1", I click on the button to install it, a message is displayed that the update was installed successfuly, I click on the "OK" button, it checks for updates again a message is displayed that "Your software is up to date". When I click on the "Quit" button a Windows opens displaying a message about the firmware update and I have to click on the "Shut down" button. The system shuts down, when I turn it back on and check for software updates again the "Macbook EFI firmware update 1.1" is listed again, I have been through this 3 times, it says it installs but when I check again it still shows up as an update that needs to be installed and the firmware version has not changed as is should if the update did in fact install, what am I missing???

  • Thundrbolt firmware update 1.2 will not install using yosemite on macbook pro retina

    Cannot install thunderbolt firmware update 1.2 on macbook 13 in retina running yosemite.  Have tried disconnection all peripherals.  No success. 

    Probably your Thunderbolt display is already up-to date. To check this, follow these steps:
    Choose About This Mac from the Apple () menu.
    Click More Info and then click System Report.
    Click Thunderbolt in the list on the left and locate the Thunderbolt Display section. If the Firmware Version is  26.2 and the Port Micro Firmware Version is 2.0.7, you won't need this update.
    I bought my ATD one year ago, and according to Apple it is "up-to date"... But I still have serious problems with it (follow this thread).

  • After most recent update, google maps will not load, i'm using cricket a600 USB on a dell inspiron windows 7?

    I can use IE browser and Google maps loads fine. I can use my droid bionic as a hot spot (using Verizon 4GLTE) and Google maps loads fine. I can go to McDonald's and use their WI-FI and it loads fine. But my CRICKET a600 USB is worthless using Firefox 8. I need Google maps for my lively hood. Very frustrating. I don't care to use IE as my main browser..please advise. Thanks, STEVE in OMAHA, NE

    well done ipodincalifornia and IlliniVishal!
    (so this can sometimes work with a Vaio too? good lord.)
    it might also be worth heading to the support pages for your laptop makes and models to check for any chipset updates or other updates relevant to the USB. i've seen some hints lately that some peculiar issues with USB on HPs could be resolved by a chipset update. (although those problems seem to present in different ways than a "Firmware Update Failure".)

  • Camera will not load HELP!!!

    My iphone camera will not work please help me as i wont be able to take it into apple any time soon so im in need of help asap 

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 will not install

    I have attempted numerous times to get this Thunderbolt update to install, and it always pops back up. I always have the power cord plugged in, I own no Thunderbolt devices, so there is no issue there, and I have even attempted to install it in safe boot - to no avail. I suppose that it is not affecting me majorly, but it is mildly annoying to constantly have the App Store telling me that I need to install something that I've attemped to a dozen times. If anyone has any other hints on how to get this to work, they would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    When you're trying to install the update, was your AC power plugged in?
    I had the same problem, but this time my AC was plugged in and the update didn't pop up anymore.
    When I tried to read the announcement of Thunderbolt update 1.2 from Apple, there's a note at the last sentence.
    "Note: Your computer must be plugged into AC power for the update to install."
    Hope this might help
