MacBook frimware updater

hi all,
I just got a Macbook, what a beautiful machine! But...
Looking into my Applications/utilities folder I find "iMac firmware updater" and "iMac SMC firmware update". Shouldn't these be Macbook? When i run them I get a stranger error message saying "this version of firmware updater...will not run on this computer" and "unexpected error occurred (28)". Are all Macbook like mine?
However everything runs fine except bootcamp. I can install XP but when I try to install Mac drivers, which CD was made by my MB, it says the software is not supported by the hardware. I suspect the firmware updater is the problem but I couldn't find anywhere in Apple site for the MB firmware download. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!

I believe the updater was for iMac intel, and also another one for Mac mini intel.
Mac Book is relatively new, and although it has a lot of complain, aplle still gather all the information and creating the fix patch and or the firm updater, so one patch will fix it all.
The logic board structure is differ from mac to mac, so the iMac and Mac mini updater won't work.
Be patient and it will shows up soon refer to a lot of issues here.

How do I keep information that's updated on a MacBook to update on my IMac? Such as pictures, bookmarks, etc.?

Thanks. Manual buckets isn't as elegant as auto-detect by network name, but it's certainly easier than changing settings in networking.

Macbook Pro, update to Mavericks - internet sharing unstable (ethenet - WiFi)

Macbook Pro, update to Mavericks ->internet sharing unstable (ethenet -> WiFi)

Thanks, indeed there's not a lot there.
I was thinking that there might be a network reset option on my Snow Leopard Mac Book, like I've had a to do a time or two on my iOS devices that suddenly stop seeing the internet. Since I didn't know what that is, I set up a clean TEST user account. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to change anything, so perhaps the internet network settings are global. Any ideas how to reset the network settings and clear them out completely?
Hard to believe that there could be something so different between Mavericks and Snow Leopard as far as common network protocols are concerned that allows one to be plug and play and the other to connect to the network but not see the internet. Could it be the hardware? A 2007 MacBook vs. a 2011 MacBook Pro?

After macbook pro update 1.0, OS X won't load.

So I just tried to apply the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 1.0 to my brand new MBP 15.4 and the screen went black when I pressed restart. Then I got a message stating that the update failed and could not be applied. So, I restarted, got to the login screen, logged in and it seemed like the desktop came up, except I couldn't launch anything. The dock was missing, couldn't figure out how to get it visible, my desktop background was missing, launchpad won't come up or mission control either.
So, figuring a reboot might fix it, I restarted from the apple menu and... nothing. I get to the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinner below it and that's it. It just sits there spinning forever, doing nothing, until I hold down the power button to shut down the MBP. So, I currently have a MBP that doesn't work. What should I do? I need to get this thing working for my job or I am screwed. Someone please assist!

*Update*
Tried Perform a Safe Boot didn't work.
Tried Reset the NVRAM / PRAM didn't work.

Installed MacBook Pro Update 2.0 *Problems Now*

Software update asked to install MacBook Pro Update 2.0 and now my MacBook Pro 13 2.5 i5 16gb Ram fails to wake from sleep when I open the lid, machine also hans with beachballs when tasking the Finder, switching applications, opening and closing them.
I have tried to repaid disk permissions, resetting PRAM, and booting with extentions disabled, the system still exhibiting the same problem.
Anyone have an idea how to get this fixed without wiping the Mac?
Anyone else experiancing this problem ?
Thanks.

Yes as I mentioned in the first post, I did try that.
Apple told me I would have to ship the computer on my dime ( for the second time ) because they do not offer shipping exchange in Canada.
This is the second time I will have to pay the shipping cost for repairs on this laptop; it basically will have added $125 to the price.
Really unhappy.
Probably will be my last Mac.

MacBook Pro Update 2.0 on MBP15R both HDMI and internal displays go black and useless

I installed MacBook Pro Update 2.0. When I plug in an HDCP-capable HDMI monitor the MBP15R's screen promptly goes all-black and useless (except for a cursor arrow, which moves but does nothing) and the external display mirrors the same thing. (The internal screen transitions through an all-blue screen first.)
How do I get my screens back? MBP15R is mostly useless to me this way. It worked fine before update 2.0. How do I get this fixed?

I'm still reluctant to give up on that bricked machine... Since it is able to display part of the boot up messages of the arch install cd and the previously working installation showed everything until loading of the virtual console (at least that's what I believe it did when the screen went black), it looks to me that the problem lies in initializing a different graphical output. That would also explain why I was able to initialize X only with the fbdev driver... and the screen didn't flicker during boot-up when I did radeon.modeset=0 so I assume it stayed on framebuffer mode all along.
Does anyone know of a boot medium that boots into framebuffer video mode even though a GPU is present? All I'd need is a bash or similar shell. I can load into the UEFI shell with arch install CD, but I'm not familiar with that shell and it follows a different syntax than I am used to, as it is designed for an entirely different purpose. If anyone knows a boot medium that does not try to pipe the graphical output through the gpu (or the integrated i915 graphics). Must be something like this around?

MacBook Pro Update 2.0 & Minecraft

I installed the new MacBook Pro Update 2.0, everything seems fine except if i press f11 to make MInecraft go full screen my mac crashes, anyone else have this problem?

A solution I've found that seems promising is to (sadly) force Minecraft to use the integrated graphics card instead of the Nvidia.
You can use gfxCardstatus (freeware, open source) to force using the integrated card: http://gfx.io
Of the main indicators that the nvidia card might be the problem was messages like this in the console after a crash going to fullscreen:
May 25 17:11:03 insert_mac_name_here kernel[0]: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel exception! exception type = 0x1f = Fifo: MMU Error

This is the sort of thing that is probably up to Mojang to fix, although I'm only seeing the problem playing feed the beast (which requires 1.4.7), and I haven't seen it playing 1.5.2 with the new launcher, so ths might also be the sort of thing that's just fixed by having the latest version.

After update to MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 screen start flicking

I've just updated my macbook pro 15" retina with Macbook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 from App store (just this update).
After that, every time it goes on the screen saver or if I close it, I can't get it back on, the screen starts flicking black.
There is no away I can enter the password, even the keyboard is flicking.
I have to force the macbook pro power off and on in order to use it.
The update is this http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1609
How can I solve this?

Unfortuantely, right now there appears to be no solution except for restoring from a backup before Update 2.0.
Update 2.0 is a mess - you are lucky if that is the only thing it affects. See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20272989#20272989

Unable to sync Ical from Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11.

I am unable to sync Ical from my Iphone 4 to MacBook since updating to Itunes 11. (and yes, the Iphone shows up as recognised in the sidebar and will sync Ical from Macbook to Iphone.) All ideas welcome.

If Damon's suggestion of resetting sync history doesn't fix the problem you most likely have a bad contact record in iCal. When they sync encounters the bad record it doesn't know what to do with it so it stops. To fix it you must find the bad record, open it, make a small change, and save it. An easy way to find the bad record is to create a new group and set the iPhone to sync to this group. Put a few records into the group at a time, then sync. At some point the sync will fail or hang. You have then narrowed the problem to a few records.

I have MacBook 4.1 laptop with a Version 10.5.8 software. Does this software version support iCloud? Can this MacBook be updated to the latest software version?

Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
