From: magdalena on 22 Apr 2008 23:29 Is the MBP EFI Firmware Update 1.5.1 only for those who applied version 1.5? When I run Software Update, it says there are no updates for my computer (MacBook Pro, bought at Apple store 1.5 weeks ago). Nothing I can see on the Apple site explains this. Does this mean that my MBP truly doesn't need v1.5.1? My ROM version is a number prior to the one that 1.5.1 updates it to.

From the information you've provided, it certainly seems like you are due for th 1.5.1 update. Perhaps Software Update simply isn't seeing the update for whatever reason. You might look on Apple's web site to see if you can download the 1.5.1 installer. -- Please send all responses to the relevant news group.

I downloaded the 1.5.1 updater from www.apple.com/support/downloads and ran it. It said that I didn't need it. I noted that the information on Apple's web site said that it would update my firwmare to version MBP31.0070.B07, which is what I already had. Given the evidence, I expect the 1.5.1 updater is merely a fix for the updater application or the process for installing the firmware. The actual firmware it contains is the same as for the 1.5 updater. This probably means that the only people who would benefit from 1.5.1 are those who were having trouble installing 1.5. If you have successfully installed the firmware update from version 1.5, you don't need 1.5.1. -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

My firmware is version MBP41.00C1.B03. As of just now, Software Update says nothing about the need for a firmware update. Since my MBP is running swimmingly, I guess I shouldn't be concerned... |
