Should I update my mini's firmware?

i have a mini part number MB138LL/A (mid-2007), bought in november 2007.
its boot ROM and SMC version are:
Boot ROM Version: MM21.009A.B00
SMC Version: 1.19f0
at this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237) i see these firmware updates for the mid-2007 mini:
Mac mini (Mid 2007) MM11.0055.B08 (EFI 1.1) 1.3f4 (SMC 1.0)
should i run these EFI and SMC firmware updates?

If you download any firmware updates if your model does not require the update when you run the installer it will tell you and it will quit.

  • Should I update BIOS and hardware firmware when installing XP?

    I will soon be receiving a ThinkPad R61 and I plan to downgrade the OS to Windows XP by following this guide to the letter.  However, one part of the guide is unclear to me.
    It states that updating the BIOS and hardware firmware are optional.  How do I decide whether I should do this?  What are the consequences of not doing it?  How badly can I damage my computer by doing it incorrectly -- can I destroy it?
    Thanks! 

    As it says in the guide many times.
    "THE BIOS AND THE HARD DRIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE ARE
    NOT NECESSARY. IF YOU ARE WARY OF BIOS UPDATES, THEN I SUGGEST YOU SKIP
    THOSE TWO UPDATES AND CARRY ON WITH THE GUIDE."
    The BIOS updates sometimes fix errors that may or may not affect you. You would have to read the txt file associated with it to determine if you want to do it or not.  Some folks have to have the latest and greatest and some people have issues that are fixed in the BIOS update.
    A BIOS update gone wrong will render your Thinkpad completely useless.
    I think that if it is not broken, don't fix it.
    Be sure to make the recovery disc set before doing anything else.

  • Should I update to 2.2 firmware?

    hi
    i will soon be getting an ipod touch 2g, and was just wondering whether or not i should update it to 2.2 after hearing all the problems im a bit sceptical about it, also do i have to do the update when i connect it to my computer or is it optional??
    fnx

    You eventually will as some newer apps require 2.2. (e.g. Space Monkey)
    BTW, all new IPT G2 (from Apple) will come with the most recent update. Other retailers may not have the most recent stock, though.

  • I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

    I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
    I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
    If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
    If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
    The bottom of the page I link to says:
    Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
    But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
    Boot ROM Version:          MM51.0077.B10
      SMC Version (system):          1.75f0
    What does the additional "B" mean?
    My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
    I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

    Hello,
    It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!

    Not sure what the B means.

    No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.

  • HT4623 I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • How do i update the thunderbolt bus firmware of my iMac?

    Hi all
    I am a beginner at working with OSX so please understand that i need specific information if you ask me to do anything. I have a specific problem with setting up thunderbolt display. I wish to set up my second iMac as a secondairy screen using target display mode. The situation is the following:
    I have two mid 2011 iMac models and a thunderbolt cable. One of these iMacs has thunderbolt bus firmware version 22.1 and the other has 25.1. Both machines are running OSX Mavericks, with all no extra updates available in the app store (all updates have been installed). When i connect them via the thunderbolt cable, the status in system information > hardware > thunderbolt remains on "port: status: no device found". pressing cmd + f2 logically does nothing as long as the iMac does not recognize the other iMac.
    When i connect the iMac with the 25.1 firmware version, to another iMac from a colleague, which also has firmware version 25.1 via the same thunderbolt cable, i could use it as a second screen.
    From what i know there are two options now:
    - my second imac has a broken thunderbolt port
    - my second imac needs a firmware update to version 25.1
    I have, however, no idea how to verify either of these things. Googling on how to update the thunderbolt bus firmware does not give any good results and the app store offers no thunderbolt firmware upgrades anymore (thunderblt firmware update 1.2 is already installed). hence i am trying to solve this via the community now.
    Do any of you have any ideas on how to procede? i prefer to fix this issue without taking it to a service center.

    There should be a Camera selector in Skypr's Audio/Videob preference.

  • Should I update from SD23 to SD28 - Momentus XT

    I realize there are numerous discussions regarding firmware updates and the Seagate Momentus XT but fearing my question would get lost among the others..I'm starting a new discussion on it here.  If it needs to be moved please do so but at least it will have the opportunity to be answered.
    I am currently running the following:
    MacBook Pro 13" i3 2.3ghz with OS X 10.7.2 Lion
    Momentus XT 500gb with firmware - SD23
    Model:  ST95005620AS
    I've been running this______________^ since March 2011.
    My question is simple.  Should I update the firmware to SD28?
    The reason I'm so far behind is because I didn't realize there were updates.
    Thank you in advance,
    Phil

    Talked to Seagate representative:
    He addressed my question without any problem and directed me to the following link which identifies whether or not your hard drive has an update available.
    http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=207931&NewLan g=en
    There is a link within this webpage that checks your drive by model # and** serial #.  To those wishing to upgrade the firmware..check first.

  • Should I update to Maverick?

    I am running Apple Lion 10.7.5 on my 2007 iMac and it runs super slow and freezes a lot.  Should I update to Maverick?  My friend updated his 2008 MacBook Pro from 10.7 to Maverick and it is running a lot better.

    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Installing Mavericks will not fix your problems. In fact before you consider upgrading to Mavericks you should resolve the problems you are having.
    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                      The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                      The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                      The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                      Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    Troubleshooting Applications
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
    If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
        used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
        requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
        drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

  • Should I update to the newest iPhoto from Mavericks, before installing Yosemite?

    I have a 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 16 GB memory (1607 MHz DDR3), and a 1 TB Samsung SSD hard drive.  I have Mavericks 10.9.5 on it, and iPhoto 8.1.2 (iPhoto '09).  I'm about to update to Yosemite, but I've read about people having problems with iPhoto and iPhoto Library after the update.  Should I update to the newest version of iPhoto before updating to Yosemite?  Is there anything else I should know about installing these updates?

    I'm puzzled about why there aren't more questions like mine ("No similar content found")
    Two possibilities there: one is that you've phrased the question in a way different from other posters with the same issue or not very many people have the issue.
    and why Apple hasn't put more info/help files out there about the havoc that can be wrought upon iPhoto libraries if app and system software updates are not done in the correct order.
    I'm really not sure what you're referring to here. You can't update to iPhoto 9.6 unless you're already on 10.10. There simply is no way to do it in the 'wrong order'. And there is no evidence that the order of updating makes a whit of difference to a Library anyway. You may have read about people having problems after an update - read more. There are always people who have issues after updates - updates of any app on any OS. The reasons can vary widely - everything from pre-existing issues on the host machine, faulty download, faulty installer, minor directory and disk damage. So, I really would not read too much into it.

    @  Pradeepcmst
    First my sorry for late  reply. Still we did NOT start 10g r2 installation on OEL 5.5.
    Please have a look ,if we missed anything , kindly forward it.
    I have received some warning messages (when executing oracle-validated command ) and separately we did NOT use update command using yum.
    Ex
    # yum <package_name> 
    -  Is this necessary before issue  following  command  => # yum install  oracle-validated.
    >> What we did  - I am pasting here >>
    # cd  /etc/yum.repos.d
    #  vi  cd.repo 
    [cd]

  • Update for time capsules firmware 7.5.2

    Update airport utility first then check for the new firmware should be 7.5.2. Firmware update also applies for airport extreme.

    Do you suggest setting up a situation again where I get a message saying the TC is failing, that I should back up to a usb drive, and then take the TC to an Apple store to be examined? This was by far the most explicit warning message i've ever gotten from an apple product....
    i guess what I want to ask is: Do you know or suspect what that SMART status message will be? Is it that the TC is not formatted properly? But that that was okay with 7.4.2 and not with 7.5.2 for some reason?

    I have an IBM Thinkpad 600E 2645 4AU that has an old version of BIOS that am trying to update to the latest.
    I read on the net that before updating the BIOS its required to update the Embedded Controller program.
    This is what I read and am quoting :
    " It is also important to understand that Thinkpads from IBM have two separate firmwares: the BIOS, and the Embedded Controller program. A given BIOS version will require a certain version of the Embedded Controller program. The IBM documentation is sometimes unclear about the order in which these two firmwares should be updated. On most, but not all Thinkpads, the correct update order is Embedded Controller program first, and then the BIOS. Make sure to do the two updates immediately one after the other. Newer models from Lenovo update both the Embedded Controller program and the BIOS at the same time, so you don't have to worry about it."
    Could anyone let me know if this applies ? I searched the Lenovo site for a  Embedded Controller program for my laptop model but found none. So wondering if this model would require the Embedded Controller program update ?
    Thanks.
    Alex

    OK, I've fixed this now.
    I had Kaspersky Internet Security installed and had disabled it manually but it was obvisouly still blocking fundamental system changes like these.  I uninstalled KIS completely and then ran these updates again and all worked fine.
