Launch your software update fellow intel mac users! Here is the description of the update I've got for my MBP:

This EFI Firmware Update fixes known start up and wake-from-sleep issues on MacBook Pro computers. If the firmware update doesn't run automatically, open it manually in the /Applications/Utilities folder.

cool, there's also a camera RAW update.

will update tonight, report back later

my macbook also has this update....not only MBP.....

and it runs automatically....ehhehe

Yeah like I said it is released for Intel Macs lol.. So that includes MB, MBP, iMac and Mac Pro...

I smell apple is making harder for cloners like me to run OSX on their Dells , err Macs....I have talked to semthex on this matter and it looks like they are up to something

installed into my macbook already. No visible difference though

Got mine installed today and don't see any difference.. yet

The firmware is supposed to fix problems that some people are experiencing regarding wake-from-sleep and start-up. If you don't have those issues of course you won't see a difference. lol.

how come i oni get keynote update and pages update ?

how come i oni get keynote update and pages update ?

maybe u've updated it already...

after my first install/update, my battery drained very quickly.. then after that everything was ok..

this firmware is for C2D MBP ?

that should answer your question..

so far so good after the update.

anyone experiencing whining noise from the Core Duo processor, after the firmware upgrade? Read about it on the Apple forum - apparently, you can get rid of the whining processor noise by switching on PhotoBooth or something???

If you can get rid of the noise by switching on PhotoBooth then you have the infamous whine issue that have affected alot of MBP CD users - like me. Apparently, the whine only happens when the processor is too idle... So that is why running PhotoBooth can remove the noise. For me, the noise goes away each time I switch on my wireless Mighty Mouse. What you can do is to ask for a logic board replacement from Apple Centre because Apple has already acknowledged this issue. Or, you can use a software solution such as ShhMBP. But, you're gonna get a lower battery life for using ShhMBP. I have tried it myself and have lost at least 25 minutes of battery power.

amdcopper... many thanks for your feedback. Any other MB users out there experiencing this issue?

My concern: I can live with that slight processer whine - it's rather quiet esp. when you have your music on - but is it harmful to the macbook in the long term without this logic board replacement???

I also don't want to install anything that will suck battery juice since i'm always in need of long usage between charges...

No, it will not harm your macbook. The noise is only annoying sometimes that's all...

this update firmware make my mac wake up easier from sleep, but fan became very noisy sometimes.

SEP910... you sure it's the fan and not the processor hum?
