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

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.

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 -
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!

My macbook air says I have a software update to install and In order to do that I have to restart it first. After I restart it, it doesn't do anything and I do it over and over and it still doesn't update. Please Help
The order is generally as follows:
Download the update
Allow the update to install
The update will force a restart of your computer
So I suspect you are simply misreading the directions regarding the timing of the restart. -
I tried to update my ipad air to 8.1, while istalling updates suddenly it went to recovery mode. Now when I try to restore factory settings it keeps restarting again and again.What shall I do in this situation?
This is Linda again. The new iPad actually as not restored on my employees computer. I thought it was working. Message said the device is in recovery mode and can not be restored. I have been at the Apple store for a total of 6 hours and on the phone with support for at least 4 hours. And now the replacement has crashed??? Has this happened to any one else?

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help
That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

You can't run Windows on your Macbook Air without having Mac OS X installed with Boot Camp. So it should be an option to select the Mac OS X partition at startup when holding down the option key. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4818 -
I can't turn on my MacBook Air despite trying to hold down the power button and using the SMC method. BTW my battery charger lights up to a green when plugged into the laptop.
Hello cass528,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Air would not power on. I recommend following the steps in this article when experiencing an issue like this:

I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to re-program another key to do that function? Can I re-program a function key to do this function?
Water + electronics do not mix. Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.
This is accidental damage and not covered by warranty. -

When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still?!
When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still. So I need to hold down the keyboard while i open it. Other than that it works fine despite the fact that the fan noise some times is loud and sometimes it's getting warm at the base. I wonder if this can be fixed if i go to one of the apple branches.
Yes. Take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.
Best
