MacBook Air SMC Update v1.8 - Won't install

Software update says to install, but it won't install even when I click the checkbox to install it (in Software Update). I install, then run S/W Update again and the darn thing is still in there saying it needs to be installed. I have tried several times to install, even tried downloading it directly from Apple website and installing from there - still shows up in S/W Update as needing to be installed. Maybe it is installed and there's some bug in the S/W Update App that won't "release" it from S/W Update's tracking of versions? What gives? Now there is a firmware update 1.9 - can I install 1.9 if 1.8 won't install?
MacBook Air 13" (late 2010)/OS 10.6.8 (and no, don't tell me to upgrade OS - not gonna do it - finally got a stable system - other than this - and am not gonna wreck it)
Any advice GREATLY appreciated, since I am now experiencing some funkiness with the battery charging/magsafe adapter (sometimes won't charge even though battery is below 60% charge) and am hoping this firmware update might fix that.

No more than a minute. It is a two step process. Run the installer, reboot, watch a progress bar and finished. If you are still in the run the installer stage it should be safe to perform a force quit (hold power button for 10 seconds). If it is in the middle of the reboot you may need to visit an Apple store.

MacBook Air SMC update 1.8 killed keyboard & trackpad? (on MBA 11,2010,1.6C2D,ML)

Hi all,
A bit of a pickle. This is briefly what has happened:
1. Beloved MacBook working fine with Mountain Lion and all updates applied
2. Notified a single update is available so downloaded and applied "SMC 1.8 update for MacBook Air" using App Store
3. On restart no response to trackpad or keyboard (apart from power key)
4. MacBook responds to SMC reset key combination but this doesn't cure the problem, and now the Bluetooth assistant pops up to help me find a keyboard
5. Other key combinations don't seem to work, and no green light on caps lock key
6. NVRAM reset using external keyboard, this doesn't solve the problem
7. With an external keyboard and mouse attached, everything seems to work perfectly, except the built-in keyboard and trackpad
I took it in to my local Apple Store today and their diagnosis software gave everything the green light apart from the internal USB devices. The "genius" advised this is probably due to a faulty trackpad and replacing that would perhaps cure the keyboard as well, especially as it seemed to be partially working at least.
I am out of warranty but I suggested as everything was working perfectly right up to the SMC update then perhaps they might replace my trackpad and possibly top case for free, if there are no signs of water ingress or physical damage when they open it up. They are considering this but I don't hold out much hope! Has anyone else experienced this issue? What would you do in my position?
Thank you for reading this and any responses are greatly appreciated.

In addition, if I try to do a software update I get a similar crash.
Firefox is working as i itunes and MS Office Apps.
What can I do to resolve? Thanks

MacBook Air SMC Update 1.0

Found this SMC update for the Mac Book Air....for the fan issue.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookairsmcupdate10.html

Makes absolutely no difference.
Just installed the updated and have been on Time Machine for 3 minutes and the fan is going crazy at 6500rpm.
A time machine backup does this (especially if it's running wireless). Mine does this both before and after the update.
FYI, a MacBook Pro does something similar, some tasks just eat CPU and other resources. There's nothing wrong with your machine or the update. Despite people's complaints that the MBA is "slow" it still has a very fast CPU crammed into a thin package. The fan is necessary for tasks like this.

MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1 Won't Install

Hi Everybody. I am having a really annoying problem with my rMBP. I have the update labaled: "MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1" Available in my Mac AppStore app. After I click update, I get a prompt letting me know that the laptop needs to be plugged in, I hit ok. It downloads (very small file) and asks me to Restart or hit "Not Now". I click restart, the system reboots into a updating page where a status bar quickly completes. The laptop restarts again back to OSX. I open up the appstore and goto the updates page and what do I see? 1 available update: MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1, like I never did anything to begin with.
My system info is:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro10,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2.6 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          8 GB
Boot ROM Version:          MBP101.00EE.B02
SMC Version (system):          2.3f32
Serial Number (system):          xxx
Hardware UUID: xxx
Please help this is really annoying.

I had the same problem. Tried all the proposed fixes. Nothing worked. This solved my problem:
1. Install a fresh copy of mountain lion on an extern disk
2. Startup from that disk
3. Update to 10.8.3.
4. Restart
5. Open app store, go to updates. You should see the SMC 1.1. update.
6. Click update
7. Restart
Once the update installed (fan will go quickly to max speed during startup) switch back to your internal disk and start up. Now the SMC 1.1. update shouldn't show up in the app store/upadtes.

Macbook Pro SMC update 1.3 will not install

Greetings,
I am having problems getting the latest SMC update to install on my 15" Macbook pro. My built in drive has a boot camp partition, so I understand if the update won't install using that. But When booting off freshly GUID partitioned and HFS+(journaled) formatted Firewire 400 drive (Leopard installed and updated to 10.5.7) SMC 1.3 update will not install and gives same error "Your firmware can not be updated because the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme." Huh?
I tried the update pushed down by software update, and a manual download.
Current SMC version showing in system profiler as 1.16f10
Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?

"...hit the hardware start button, get gong, machine starts to boot, something briefly flashes on the screen"
Hi Bob, you have to hold down the start button(5-10secs) until you hear a long tone. Then let go and everything is ok.
You'll also see the progress bar install the update, that is what the brief flash was but because the button wasn't held for a few seconds, it didn't take.

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

I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive

I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, how to solve this problem?

Try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below:
Troubleshooting an external hard drive
> Unplug the hard drive, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in
> Restart the computer
> Unplug any other peripherals from the computer
> Plug it into a different USB port
If none of those steps work, see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.
Checking a disk with Disk Utility
To check a disk using Disk Utility, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
> Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
> Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
> Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Once Disk Utility is opened, check to see if your external HD appears on the sidebar. If it doesn't appear at first, try the troubleshooting steps above again while leaving Disk Utility open, each time checking to see if the external HD appears.

MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 - Freeze

Hi all,
Facts:
model: MacBookPro8,1
OS: OS X 10.7.5
Story:
i got a Macbook Pro 8,1 (13,3" Early 2011) which worked flawlessly - until yesterday.
Yesterday I decided to install the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626) - a bit unusual for me, since i normally wait a few weeks until others tried such an update. I did nothing in parallel on my mac, just the update. After the installation process i rebooted my system to finish the update process, the scm update installation run, everything seemed to went fine.
But shortly after the login process, my System froze and i had to hard shutdown my macbook. The first 3 or 4 attempts to only switch on my computer i got only a flashing indicator led, as usual, but not display output, no start sound, nothing. I waited a few minutes, tried again, the system started to boot until the login window, but i had no time to input my credentials - the system froze again.
Since a got a bit computer experience, it's my day job, i first thought of a bad RAM. So i replaced it with two totally new ones (Corsair Mac Memory) and some older original Apple RAM, but nothing changed. I did the same with the harddisk, even i don't think it's related to a harddrive failure because of the symptoms, while trying to install a fresh OS - the system froze again.
After that i tried everything Apple proposed: SMC reset multiple times, NVRAM/PRAM reset multiple times, but nothing helped in my case.
So the current state is as follows:
- The system freezes everytime, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. But normally within 10 seconds. (I observed, the longer the computer stays off, the later the freeze appears). After a hard shutdown, i've to wait a few minutes to get the computer to display anything.
- I read the log files after installing the harddrive to another computer (it works fine there), but there seems nothing special (i could post it, if somebody need it). The system just stops responding.
I think, it MUST be related to the MacBook Pro SMC Update 1.6, because i had no problems at all before this firmware update, problems started after it.
Is anybody out there, who has another suggestion for me, or has the same symptoms?
G,
NoWay

I have MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) and similar problem (gray screen, system not start, noisy fan, etc.)
I applied last SMC firmware update 1.6
as a result I have unworking MacBook Pro.
When I have been looking table http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 I am realised that link http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1626 on update for MacBookPro8,1 1.68f99 (SMC 1.6) and for MacBookPro7,1 1.62f7 (SMC 1.6) is same. And then I booted from Installation Disk1 with 10.6.4 and saw that my version of SMC is 1.68f99 instead 1.62f7.
In my opinion it's the main reason of our common problem. Apple released not correct SMC update and this update made briks from our MacBook Pro!!!

The system report in my 3 weeks old macbook air says that there is no battery installed but my macbook has a built in battery and currently it's working using the charger so what to do??

Try a SMC reset:

If no success, reinstall the OSX.
If still no success, contact Apple support. A new MBA has 90 days of free Apple support.
Ciao.

When I attempt to re-download Lion to my MacBook Air I get the following error: localhost Install Mac OS Lion[436]: Retrying pisa://1183a0570:::/InstallESD.dmg after 1 failure(s). I am trying to re-install the OS after erasing having erased the drive.

When I attempt to re-download Lion to my MacBook Air I get the following error: localhost Install Mac OS Lion[436]: Retrying pisa://1183a0570:::/InstallESD.dmg after 1 failure(s). I am trying to re-install the OS after erasing having erased the drive. Any ideas?

I had the exact same issue; Lion recovery from Command + R would hang with the logs showing the same message. To resolve, I used Disk Utility to remove the recovery partition. My Air then used Internet Recovery to load all the tools. When using Reinstall via Internet it worked just fine.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Using adobe updater i can download PS6 update but it won't install.

Using adobe updater i can download PS6 update but it won't install.

I have just had a good chat with an Adobe live chat person. He has explained to me why I am getting the U44M1P7 error.
I have a perpetual version of CS6 that I bought earlier in the year. The creative cloud update only applies to versions of CS6 that have been downloaded via creative cloud. The error means I am trying to update a version of CS6 (my perpetual copy) that has aleady been updated.
I have version 13.0.4 and the update is 13.1.2. If I want the update I have to uninstall CS6 from my computer (my perpetual version) and download CS6 from creative cloud. Then I will be able to have the updates.
Hope this helps you. I haven't ried it yet but will post my results when I do.
