Screen blinking when turning on my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro after recent update.

Just did the recent software update and my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro 13" when turning on the screen blinks until the computer is rebooted/restarted. Have never had a problem before. Of course, my Apple Care just expired the end of June 2014. Is anyone else having a problem?

How do I use my mid 2010 iMac as display with mid 2011 macbook pro?

I have a mid 2010 iMac and I want to use it as a display for my mid 2011 macbook pro.
The iMac has a mini display port and the macbook has a thunderbolt port.
Does anyone know if this is possible and what I need to make it possible?
Cheers!
-Sean

If the iMac is a 21-inch model, you need to use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network.
If the iMac is a 27-inch model, click here and follow the instructions.

What version of Expresscard is present in the mid-2011 MacBook Pro 17"?

Hi,
Does anyone know what version of Expresscard is present in the mid-2011 MacBook Pro 17"??
I want to know if it uses the PCIe 1.0 or 2.0 interface.
I've tried searching, but this one hasn't been answered.
A call to Apple Care didn't get me anywhere (they didn't know).
Closest thing I've come to an answer is this post (see last answer).
However, it's a bit confusing since the poster talks about GT/s, not Gbit/s as stated on Wikipedia (se fact box on the right).
Anyone...??

No, it isn't.
Check the links in my post.
The first one is this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4138
It states:
ExpressCard/34 slot
Expand the capabilities of your MacBook Pro with standard 34mm ExpressCards. To eject an ExpressCard, push gently on it to activate the spring, and then remove it from the slot.

Slow Booting time after installing MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 on 13 Inches Mac 2010 model

I'm experiencing a slow boot time after my computer installed a MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 itself on 13 Inches 2010 model, how to downgrade or fix it?
My computer is starting 2 times slower then it should be, why Apple done this to me?
Please help who really know somthing about Macs.

I have the same problem, especially when I open my laptop from sleep. It takes at least 2 minutes for the computer Internet connection to work.
Never had that problem prior to the last firmware update 2.7.
Is there a way to revert back to 2.6?

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

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7 broken?

I'm trying to run the EFI update on my new 13" Macbook Pro but keep getting a message it's not for my machine.
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,1
Boot ROM Version:          MBP81.0047.B26
SMC Version (system):          1.68f98
Any ideas as to why EFI update will not run? The update is suppose to update to MBP81.0047.B27.
Thanks

What are you talking about, wjosten? First, he said in his original post that he had an EARLY 2011 MacBook Pro. Those WERE shipped with Snow Leopard. I have one. Second, I have the same machine, still running Snow Leopard, and Apple Update has notified me to Install MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7.
So wjosten, are you saying that Apple Update is defective, it's wrong, and doesn't know what it's doing?
UPDATE a few minutes later ---
Guess you ARE right, wjosten, and it's Apple Update that stupid and dangerous.
According to Apple Support http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1499
   System Requirements are for
OS X Lion 10.7.3 or later!
I wonder how many MacBook Pro 2011 users are getting screwed by Apple this time.
Fortunately, I did not do this update before searching the web for warnings after I had a pervious glitch caused by a firmware update.
This is crazy!

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1

Just seen this as available from the software update process on my MBP.
has anyone hand any problems with MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1 updates?
thanks!

I believe it's been traced to the video card not properly initializing after sleep. It normally happens to me when I have USB peripherals attached (Such as my iPhone for charging).
After sleep the screen simply won't turn on. You can hear the volume adjusting, even music or something playing on the computer (As if it's running normally) but the screen just stays black. Sometimes it will flash on and then turn off.
The only solution I've found is to hard reboot the computer.

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1 messed up my laptop

Software update just told me to install MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1 a few minutes ago, and I followed the directions, having no idea what it was supposed to be doing to my computer. I hit "Shut Down", then held down the power button until I heard the beep. After the beep, the screen stayed black and the LED light just stayed constant. Then I turned the computer off using the start button again, and tried to turn it on. The hard drive or CD drive started to click rhythmically and the computer did nothing. The screen stayed black.
I then tried to restore the previous firmware, but that doesn't work. It said to hold the button until the lights flash fast, then slow, then to insert the restoration CD, which I did. It buzzed like it was going to start up, then did nothing and I got no progress screen. It still just sits there black with that power light on. Anyone got any ideas other that going to a Genius and paying hundreds of dollars?

I followed the EFI instructions exactly as it stated and had a major problem.
Basically my problem was that the EFI did not completely successfully. It left the system in a half updated state. Unfortunately, they had to replace my entire system board. I have Apple Care so it was replaced at no charge. I originally called Apple Support and they had me try the usual things like restoration cd, reset PRAM, reset NVRAM, etc. Nothing worked. I brought it down to my local Apple store but they more or less do the same thing. They had to send it out to be fixed. Sorry, but it sounds like you're in the same boat.

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 1.5.1 Multiple Times

for about 6 months or longer now I keep getting the same software update every few weeks on my Macbook pro. it's 1.5.1. i've probably installed it 5+ times now, and now I just uncheck the box and do the other updates. how do i get rid of this darn thing, since i have already done it? now it's just starting to annoy me.

Hi chuck,
Head to your "Utilities" folder and you will find that Software update has installed an application called "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update"
You should first restart your computer, disconnect any peripherals , and then run the application, following the instructions carefully along the way.
For safety reasons Software update doesn't actually install firmware updates like this itself . Instead it installs an installer. While I can understand the desire for safety, I reckon Apple could have been a bit better with the instructions on this one, as it is not at all apparent that this second step is required after running Software update to actually install the new firmware.
You aren't alone on this one. I've seen many, many posts here from people who haven't known that the second step was necessary and, accordingly, keep on getting new downloads of the installer from SU.
Cheers
Rod
