Apple Releases iWork '09 9.0.2 and MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3

Thursday May 28, 2009 3:15 pm PDT by Eric Slivka
Apple today released a pair of software updates, one for iWork '09 users and one for MacBook Pro users.

iWork '09 9.0.2 (42.8 MB) addresses issues with saving documents and Keynote.

This update improves reliability when saving some iWork documents and when playing some presentations more than once per Keynote session.

The update requires iWork '09 and OS X 10.4.11 or 10.5.6 or later.


MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3 (833 KB) addresses an issue with fan behavior on 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pros.

This SMC Firmware update adjusts the fan behavior in MacBook Pro systems (15-inch and 17-inch) when running under high workload conditions.

The update requires OS X 10.4.11 or 10.5.7, and Apple provides additional instructions for installing the update.

Wary and watchful here. I don't have any complaints on fan behavior whatsoever - the UB seems to be the coolest, and best behaved (fan speed wise) of any of my MBPs to date. I'm in the "wary - I'll wait and see" mode - especially since Software Update isn't showing it.

I suspect if I went ahead and manually downloaded the SMC update, it wouldn't install anyway.

Running on a 2.4 Ghz MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2008).

I wonder if it's just the newer models effected, as we had SMC updates previously.

It must be for the 8600 graphics models. Got to keep them cool under load somehow.

I the SMC Firmware update got it on my early 2008 MPB 15" - No problems with the update. Took longer to go through the reboots than to actually apply it. Can't say that I've really done any high-stress computing since, so I haven't noticed any real change in temperature or fan action, though heat has never been a real big deal on this machine. The update appears not to break anything, surely.
