SMC Firmware message appearing everytime at startup in OSX

Hi everyone,
I needed windoze (unfortunately) and as a longtime Mac owner I bought a MBP and went through the course of Bootcamp/Firmwareupdate etc.
Everything works fine (windoze has it's usual glitches...).
There's only one strange thing, Everytime I startup in OSX I get a message that the MBP is updated.
The message is in Dutch but it sais this:
The SMC firmware of your computer has been updated to version 1.1 of the MacBook Pro-SMC-firmware-updater.
It has an ok button and if I click that than all is fine.
How do I get rid of this message?
Please help.
Do I delete the MacBook Pro-SMC-firmware-updater in the utilities folder or not?
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Gino Krishnadath

Hi G.K.,
Remove the installer that is in your Applications-Utilities folder to the trash and delete it. This wil get rid of the message.

  • How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?

    How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
    It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
    Thanks

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Cannot print from webpages. JavaScript Application TypeError: Components.classes [cid] is undefined message appears everytime I start Firefox. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    I wanted to install the Google toolbar extension, so I installed Add-on Compatibility Reporter 0.9.2. Then I installed the Google toolbar extension. When I restarted my computer I got this message. The Google toolbar did not work, so I disabled it thinking that would correct the problem. How can I get back the ability to print webpages. Thanks

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Photo screen not working exe message appears everytime I log on

    Any Ideas please how to rectify the above

    With that one, first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe Control Panel for Windows, robin. Does that make the error go away?

  • HT5129 Why does this message appear over and over again?

    This message appears everytime I try to do something in iPhoto and freezes everything else.  Can I stop it from appearing?

    Click on the More Info button, go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. Next to go the Sustem/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.  That will stop those messages.

    That generally indicates that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    The following document is a good place to start:

  • Firmware update 1.0 window appears everytime the MBP starts up.

    After a succesfull firmware update the firmware update 1.0 windows appears everytime the MBP starts up.
    It says: the firmware of the computer is updated to version 1.0.0. of the Mac Book Pro updater.
    Can someone help me to let it disapear?
    Thanks.

    No I can't help you to make it dissapear but I would like to warn other users to perhaps wait for Apple to get their act together and create a firmware update that actually works and does not break machines...
    After the upgrade of my MBP 2.16GHz the wifi interface will no longer connect to my WPA Personal protected network. Before the upgrade this would work flawlessly...

  • "Open Firmware" screen appeared on startup

    Has anyone experienced this? I turned on my G5 (recently upgraded to Leopard) and instead of going straight to the login screen, the Open Firmware screen appeared. I know it can be forced to appear, but it just appeared on its own. Could this be a sign of failing circuitry? Thanks for your help.

    Hi-
    Not failing circuitry. A weak PRAM battery, yes, or simply the NVRAM/PRAM needs reset.

  • What do I need to do when I receive the message ". . . your startup disc is full, you need to make some room by deleting some files"

    I hope I'm in the right place since I was sort of redirected here Recently I have been receiving the message that my startup disc is full and that I need to make room by deleting files.  At first I received the message when I left my computer unattended with my virtual machine on, using VMWare Fusion to run Windows.  Recently though, I got the message when I left my computer unattended for about 6 hours without the virtual machine running.  As an aside, I get extremely nervous when anything freezes VMWare because it is usually a nightmare to get back into Windows if I can at all without calling Tech Support. This new message however, appeared without the virtual machine active, so I was relieved that VMWare most likely was not the cause.  After reading a number of Tech Support articles and Community discussion questions and answers, I started wondering if iTunes or the SMC firmware or a combination thereof may be causing the problems.  Mind you I know nothing about the SMC stuff because as I said, I am really new to Mac and know very little about computer code or processors or any of that stuff.  But I do know that iTunes has recently been giving me some trouble, such as opening on start up and I can't figure out why and messing around with my iTunes libraries.  I also read about the SMC firmware and the computer's sleep cycle so that sort of made sense.  But I seriously need advice from someone a lot smarter than me.  So, before you ask, both iTunes and my SMC firmware are up to date. I'm running a mid-2007 iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 2.4 GHz of speed.
    You may not need all this junk, but in case you do, since the message tells me to make room and delete files, here goes.  Now, if I need to make space and delete files, this is where I get confused and it's probably very simple but I'm still a relatively new Mac user and I still can't seem to find all the info about my Mac!  I'm not exactly sure how much space I have left on my hard drive.  I had to replace my hard drive last December and the invoice says it is a 500 GB 7200 SATA hard drive.  For some reason I thought I had more than that.  Regardless, System Profiler shows 10.26 GB currently available, 499.76 used; I assume that the used portion includes my partitioned drive that has my virtual machine on it?  I may be using the wrong language when calling it that but that's how I understand it as a "partitioned drive".  Now, when looking at the System Profiler, under Volumes, Capacity 209 MB writable diskOs1 - I think this my Virtual Machine.  I also have three Western Digital drives that I use for Time Machine and for pictures and music; however, as I said, I am still new with Macs and do not fully understand the file structure so there may be pictures on my Mac hard drive that are duplicated on 1 or more of my WD drives but I don't know how to find them or if I do, I'm afraid to delete them.  Of these WD external drives, 1 is 500 GB and is full with Time Machine backups; the 2nd WD drive is 3 TB and has 2.18 TB available and is currently being used for Time Machine backups; the final WD drive is 1 TB Firewire and currently has 694.33 GB available.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Please forgive any inaccurate terms or mis-statements of terminology as I do not really know what I'm talking about as far as the pieces and parts of the operating system; I'm just trying my best to describe what I see.
    One more piece of advice that I would appreciate would be recommendations about a good file cleaner, for duplicates, messy file structure, space utilization software; it also needs to be idiot proof software.  I have a trial version of Appdelete that I never really used and I have the purchased version of Tune Up My Mac that I haven't spent much time with because I'm afraid I'll delete something I shouldn't
    Thank you for your help

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • SMC Firmware Update 1.7 "Installed Successfully" Multiple Times, But Still Not Installed

    MacBook Pro, 15", Early 2011
    OS X 10.8.2
    Software Update keeps telling me that I have the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7 available for my machine.  I have run this update several times, both through Software Update and through directly downloading it from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Through either method, running the update yields the same result:  it runs, reports that the update is installed, restarts the machine, and all seems good.  However, if I run Software Update again or check the SMC version, I still have the old SMC version 1.69f3 and the same update is still available in Software Update.
    This thread -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/20649193 -- suggests running Disk Utility to find errors.  I have already run Disk Utility to check for errors (multiple times) and no errors have been reported.
    This thread -- https://discussions.apple.com/message/21320561 -- suggested running a clean installation of the OS.  The other thread's solution ultimately also was a clean installation of the OS.  Having just done that barely a month ago on this machine, I really would prefer to not do that again so soon!
    Has anyone else run into this issue and found a (hopefully less drastic) solution?  Thanks.

    I guess I just fixed it.  Do you bootcamp to windows?  Once I changed my startup disk from the windows to the mac partition, rebooted, then dd the system update, the firmware update installed and took hold.
