I just downloaded it and installed it...we'll see what happens.
Thanks for the link!
"Your computer's SMC firmware is up-to-date with version 1.0 of the MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update."
=\?
=\?
Yeah, same here. I assume this is correct since it actually mentions "Update". If it was some earlier version of the firmware, it wouldn't say that.
Not sure what you mean by that. I ordered about one hour after the MBA was announced.
But my fan seemed to behave correctly before I installed this update, so I am not really expecting any change in behavior on my MBA.
Ya'll could check the week number part of your serial number and see exactly which batches you were in?
I'm not sure if this follows suit, but when the MacBooks and MacBook Pros were having issues, the 3rd digit of the serial number = the manufacturing year and the 4th/5th digits = manufacturing week.

So sorry
DARN! I was very hopeful for a few minutes. Hope you can reverse this update to make yours go back to quiet.

This is hilarious... I just dropped my MBA off at FedEx since Apple offered to replace it for me because of overheating issues (would freeze for ten seconds, unfreeze for ten seconds, etc). Now I get home and find that there is a firmware update which may have solved my problem. Just my luck!
I'm in the same boat, sort of. Was on the phone all afternoon with Apple's tech support who, after suggesting a bunch of different fixes that did nothing, finally just had me reinstall Leopard, and said that if that didn't do the trick, they'd exchange for a regular MacBook. Well, the pointless reinstallation's done, and after I'm finished downloading all the updates, I guess I'll see what happens...
I did the same, and it said it was updated. The thing that's strange though is that I looked at the Utilities folder before updating and the Firmware wasn't there (the icon). After the install, even though it said it was already updated, I now see the 'icon' for the firmware in that folder. Does that mean it wasn't there before or that the firmware was located somewhere else?
