I get told to Update My Firmware when I try to run Boot Camp...

How do I go about this? All my software is fully updated etc.


I'm running a 17" iMac (intel obviously) so what's going on?

This should be what you need:

I got this last night to update the firmware on my iMac 20" Intel and it worked just fine. I believe it is for the 17" model as well.

Yep the new firmware basically alows the bootchanger feature.

I bought my Mac in Early April... And this didn't work >_> I tried a few times.

When you install the firmware you have to shut down your computer then restart it but hold down the power button until the "sleep" light blinks a couple times... it may even make a noise

Try it a few times. Some people have had it fail a few times.

A couple of times it failed to update, so finally I decided to hold the power button all the way through the entire FW update, and that worked...

That must have brought on a rather sore arm. Mine worked first time, no problems..
