Apple Releases EFI Firmware Updates for Mac Mini, iMac, MacBook Air and Pro

Thursday February 23, 2012 12:49 pm PST by Jordan Golson
Apple just released new firmware updates for the full range of Macs released in 2011, which apparently all fix the same issues.
This update improves the reliability of booting from the network, addresses an issue that can prevent HDCP authentication after a reboot, and resolves an issue with boot device selection when a USB storage device is hot-plugged.
The software updates are:

- Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 - Mac mini (Mid 2011)

- iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.9 - iMac (Early 2011)

- MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 2.4 - MacBook Air (Mid 2011)

- MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.7 - MacBook Pro (Early 2011) and (Late 2011)

Um, that picture is under NDA. Unless you are not in the Dev program and then you just posted you have illegal software on your Mac. *wags finger* :cool:

I hope Mountain Lion breaks your Mac Mini.




Why such hostility?

In your life, have you ever done something illegal/against the rule?

He's just messing with beta software, he's not selling drugs or anything like that!

EDIT: I should have added the *sarcasm* tag to my post. I really don't give a flying freak what anyone does. More power to you, I actually think ML is going to be okay, it just won't run on my older MacBook.


I bet you were a hall monitor. :D

Yes, I am using ML as we speak & obviously ain't a dev! I was being sarcastic, having a bit of fun. Relax.

Why? Also not possible btw, an operating system cannot break a Mac.. The firmware's that are released are meant to work on supported Mac's..


I didn't mean physically snapping the thing in two. Christ, some people take things far too seriously.

Got the update for my mid-2010 MBP.


Phew, I was getting worried you wouldn't get it there for a minute.

Doesn't matter. You can't do that software update in 10.8. He may think he did but there's a known bug in the software update.

If he can prove to me that he did it that way I'd sure like to see the proof.
