Odd. I've updated to 10.13.5, but when I go to Messages / Preferences / Accounts, I still don't have the checkbox for iCloud. Frustrating

Make sure you have iCloud Keychain enabled.Odd. I've updated to 10.13.5, but when I go to Messages / Preferences / Accounts, I still don't have the checkbox for iCloud. Frustrating
According to Rene Ritchie from iMore, that may just be a bug that has yet to be resolved.

Well, let's hope he's correct then. I don't like having everything always hanging around after I have deleted them. It's not critical but it is annoying at times.
BTW, my cMP is running much better on this update already. It feels quicker. I still have a strange video issue on shutdown but that's not really a problem, just an ugly shutdown.
Why do you have to have keychain turned on? I didnt have keychain turned on my phone and it lets you turn it on.
Not required. I have my iCloud keychain unchecked and the option in messages/preferences is still there.
So my husband got the 10.13.5 update on both his iMac and MacBook.
I didn't. And when I try via About This Mac -> Software Update function, it tells me "No Updates Available."
My iPad and iPhone were updated days ago, and I'm anxious to try the new features but looks like I'm at the mercy of the gods that rule the updates.
Unless someone can tell me how to force it?

are you signed into your apple account? and/or have you rebooted? (just some ideas...)
I'm not Lou but I also installed the combo update. How would we know if the firmware update was installed?
Yes, after I updated with the combo updater, I realized there was a FW update available. I downloaded the full OS installer, and only used it to update the FW. So now I'm at MP51.0087.B00.

What's the strange video issue ?
Has anyone else got an opinion of performance following the upgrade ?
How can I tell whether the Boot ROM version listed there is the most recent one for my MacBook Pro?
This does us no good. Yours is an older mac pro. The page hasn't been updated since 2015 and shows a different Boot Rom version than what I have. It also won't allow me to update using the listed boot rom since it requires 10.9.5 to install.
Of course your bootrom version is different then mine, because that's different Mac. But that page should show your current bootrom version. It's changed now? Do you mind post how it looks like now? I have absolutely no idea it's changed for the newer Mac.

Apple keep this kind of info like a secret. This page may help. But they are also not always up to date.

In general, the firmware update should apply automatically on newer Mac. Almost completely transparent to the users.
Also, unless your Mac shows strange issue (e.g. can't boot from an APFS partition), there should be no need to worry about the bootrom version.
My boot Rom version is MP61.0124.B00 and I am on MacOS 10.13.5
The question was about current boot rom versions, and it seems there is no way currently to determine the most up to date boot rom versions for a Mac, considering the apple page showing the versions is 3 years old and it states that it is not being updated.
