Apple Releases MacBook Air Software Update to Address Video Playback

Its finally here ran software update and this is now available and says:

This update is recommended for all MacBook Air computers, and addresses issues with video playback and processor core idling. Third-party software that modifies processor operating characteristics such as frequency and voltage is not supported and should be removed before installing this update.

OMG, is this real :) I will report right back as soon as I install the update.

I AM HAVING A CORE SHUTDOWN AS I TYPE RIGHT NOW!

Well I have been fortunate enough not to have seen a core shutdown, but this is good news (if it works).

honestly, regardless of if it works or not i am still going to CL my 1st gen mba in a few weeks for these new penryns due out any day... am REALLY hoping that apple has put these past 200+ days to good use in their engineering dept and worked out all of the kinks.

Just updated!!

w00t going to try it out now, if nothing im going to get some AS3 tomorrow

Ooh, must call father to tell him to update… he only updates when I tell him :rolleyes: He's not exactly a computer wiz.

EDIT:

Only 83KB?! I didn't know that was still possible!

Will this stop the BS one core at 100%, the other core at zero, and the computer turning into a useless $3000 doorstop until you shut it down, take a walk around the block and boot back up? :-/

No. It'll fix the whiny users that are about as intelligent as a door stop. Happy?

Well at only 368K I am guessing it is modifying OS X and not the actual firmware.

Knew I'd get a quote like that, just knew it. Serves me right for posting anything remotely negative...
