Hi all,

I'm new to Mac, so i may not be doing this correctly, but i can't seem to get the EFI update released 13th November '06 to install and show the new Boot ROM Version as MBP11.0055.B08 - the installer says my computer doesn't need the update..

What IS the latest Boot Rom version then? :confused:

Wait, what does your firmware version say in System Profiler? Have you seen this page by Apple listing the various firmware releases on Intel machines (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303880)? According to that page, the latest Boot Version for a 15" MacBook Pro is MBP11.0055.B08. :)

I think this update was for coreduo only. I might be wrong.

The System profiler is showing my Boot ROM Version as MBP22.00A5.B01 :mad: ..

I downloaded the EFI update and followed instructions, but it keeps saying This computer does not need this update - what am i doing wrong?

Spec as below... :(

Thanks - i found another article on the forum stating that i actually had the correct one. It seems Apple has been so busy selling these things they haven't updated that part of the site.. No harm - the system is so good it'll reject what it doesn't see fit anyway :)

Safe in the knowledge i think :)
