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
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
do I need to disable the FlieVault?

MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v2.0 update available again and again. How do I fix it?

I have installed MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v2.0 three times and I still get an update available notification asking to install it again. This is a mid-13 MacBook Air running OSX 10.9.3. System info lists the SMC version as 2.13f7.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hi,
- Are there any status or error messages in /var/log/install.log
- The Firmware version it should install is 2.12f137
- If there isn't anything in the log try:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
and/or About NVRAM and PRAM
and check whether there is installation.
If no install, try OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode
then reboot normal, try the install again.
Hope this helps

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?

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 Air interrupted firmware update now bricked, help!

My friend has attempted a firmware update on her Mid 2012 13" Air (MacBookAir5,2), I'm afraid not sure which update it was.
Anyway, the battery was completely flat and she says she attempted the update after the magsafe power had only been plugged in for a short time.
Now it is continuously trying to install firmware update, press power button to turn on, it runs through update then shuts down, when you then press power button to start up it just goes through the process again (5 times so far).
I can't see a way to re-install the firmware as you seem to need a Mac with an optical drive.
Ran OSX utilites and repaired disk, no errors.
Ran Apple Hardware Test via internet all OK, no errors.
I'm running out of ideas of what to try next.
Thanks in advance

There one thing you can try, but before we start, it may be a good idea to reset the SMC and PRAM. The first would be to try and reset the firmware. This can be done by starting with the computer off and then pressing and holding the power button down for about 30 seconds until you hear the POST gong and see the screen light up. if the progress bar pops up let the process finish and the computer restart. Hopefull it will boot in to the OS after that.
if you keep having issues you may want to contact Apple for the next steps.

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

MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 1.1

Please refer to the update: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/macbookairefifirmw areupdate11.html
I have installed this update and noticed the time between hitting the power button and Apple logo (Booting) is taking too long, like 20 seconds or more!!
I have tried SMC reset but that doesn't help.
I am using the SSD 1.86Ghz version.
Any idea what's going on? Someone experiencing the same issue?
Matthew

Can you load a TERMINAL window and type :
sudo dmesg
then enter your password - and look at the text displayed.
do you also show these errors I am getting?

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!

Having problems with SMC Firmware Update 1.8

I installed the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.8 yesterday and have since experienced a number of problems. I am running a 15 inch, Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, btw. First, after the intial install the sytem would not reboot. I had to do a physical reset of the SMC controller to get the system to power on again (sft-cntl-option-power key sequence). Once the system rebooted, the fan in stuck on high and the battery meter in the controll bar does not show status, just displaying an "X" in the battery. I went into the Software Update utility and the SMC update is still listed as available, I tried reinstalling it, and the situation has not changed. The fan noice is annoying and I'm aftraid to disconnect the laptop from the AC adapter. Please advise.

Firmware updates don't affect to Windows and OS X. The firmware makes your hardware work, not the operating system, so you won't have any problem doing this

SMC Firmware Update 1.6

I keep getting the same update every day. (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update v.1.6)
I've installed it nearly every day since I first received it in May 2013. I even downloaded and installed it from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626, but it made no difference.
I've asked for help on here a couple times now, but no luck yet.
I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

Thanks for the quick response.
It's not working though.
I've downloaded the package but it only gives me the option to shutdown and restart. there is no shutdown option. I've run it though and as the machine shuts down I've held the power button to force the machine off.
When I press and hold the power button to come on the power light does blink but there is no progress bar and the update is still being offered.
If I run Software Update and chose the option to install later and manually power off I still have the same outcome. (Even though I hold the power button until the light blinks)
More help pleeeease

SMC Firmware Update 1.7 "Installed Successfully" Multiple Times, But Still Not Installed

MacBook Pro, 15", Early 2011
OS X 10.8.2
Software Update keeps telling me that I have the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7 available for my machine. I have run this update several times, both through Software Update and through directly downloading it from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Through either method, running the update yields the same result: it runs, reports that the update is installed, restarts the machine, and all seems good. However, if I run Software Update again or check the SMC version, I still have the old SMC version 1.69f3 and the same update is still available in Software Update.
This thread -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/20649193 -- suggests running Disk Utility to find errors. I have already run Disk Utility to check for errors (multiple times) and no errors have been reported.
This thread -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/21320561 -- suggested running a clean installation of the OS. The other thread's solution ultimately also was a clean installation of the OS. Having just done that barely a month ago on this machine, I really would prefer to not do that again so soon!
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a (hopefully less drastic) solution? Thanks.

I guess I just fixed it. Do you bootcamp to windows? Once I changed my startup disk from the windows to the mac partition, rebooted, then dd the system update, the firmware update installed and took hold.
