Nice updates today. Nothing fixed or broken but that's fine.

Ooh, new firmware for my Mac Pro! Downloading now. Funny how my computer just crashed completely for the first time about ten seconds ago(This computer needs to be restarted).

 

[Toeknee]

I just downloaded this update and it told me that it wasnt needed for this computer. I just got me a C2D Macbook.

People who moved those font files should be able to move them back into place, unless they've been replaced with the update.

 

[Westside guy]

So who'll be the first to report "Safari seems snappier"?

(okay I realize that was slightly mean...)

Maybe this new Firmware will work with Vista now that it's gone Gold and Apple knows it's final boot issues.

Don't think bootcamp currently works with Vista because of EFI limitations.

Vista works fine with Boot Camp on my Core Duo iMac...

As for the firmware update, I've had no Boot Camp, start up or wake-from-sleep issues on my iMac though, so probably no reason to install it...

vista worked fine even before this efi update.

Cool, my friend said his computer had strange start up problems, this probably fixes them.

 

[EricNau]

Maybe this'll fix my MacBook's wake-from-sleep" screen-flash problem.

...And hopefully the wake-from-hibernation bluetooth and mouse problems as well.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Same here Toeknee, for my C2D Macbook.

Software update doesn't show this Firmware update as well. Perhaps it's for the CD Macbooks?

 

[GFLPraxis]

I had trouble with closing the lid under Windows XP for standby, hope this does something

 

[The Past]

Safari seems snappier! Oh, wait a minute, meant to say wakes from sleep a couple of seconds sooner.

 

[Eraserhead]

Wonder whether OpenOffice will now work? (EDIT: It does!) Hopefully no more sleep issues which would be good!

 

[bigbadTKO]

anyone know if this is required for the new c2d macbook pros?

 

[prady16]

i got a kernel panic once (a week back) on wake up from sleep!
hopefully this would fix that!

 

[aviationwiz]

I'd be interested in a changelog for the Mac Pro update that's more in depth than just "This EFI Firmware Update fixes several Boot Camp and start up issues on Mac Pro computers."

 

[Fredou51]

Does the Mac Pro firmware update solves the issue with the Mac Pro + x1900XT + ACD 23" with Bootcamp?

Frederic

 

[Lixivial]

So who'll be the first to report "Safari seems snappier"?

Uh, of course Safari doesn't feel snappier. Internet Explorer 7 feels snappier now. Come on.

 

[ColdFlame87]

Does the core 2 duo macbook pro require this update?

 

[Abstract]

For those people who are asking whether or not they need the update(s), have you ever thought about clicking on the update button so that Apple can check and see if you do?

 

[Daniel G.]

Does the core 2 duo macbook pro require this update?

No, I've just checked.

 

[bigbadTKO]

No, I've just checked.

cool thanks for helping us folks who are *not* at home or on their macs

Wake Issues

I was having issues with my mouse (Logitech MX518) not working after a wake from sleep on a 1.83ghz core duo mac mini I just bought. I had to unplug it and plug it in to get it working again... hopefully this fixes it.
