Hi people...

In the 2nd last software update, I believe I downloaded the 'SuperDrive Update 2.1' program. As usual, I just checked for software updates and just updated whatever that was written on it. Anyhow, ever since that update, I'd been getting this particular message each time I boot up my computer.

"No Updatable Devices Found". "No devices were found that requires this firmware update".

I checked and realised the message was coming from 'SuperDrive Update 2.1' and a quick spotlight search did show that I've got the SuperDrive Update 2.1 dmg file. Question is - is it OK for me to delete the DMG file so that i'll be rid of this 'notification' each time i boot up my pc? I've also tested and thus far, it doesn't seem as if there's anything wrong with my SuperDrive - as in, it works perfectly fine.

Any ideas / opinions puhlease?

I did a little Googling for you.

Looks like you're not the only one.

"I think I may have found a fix. Go to Applications -> Utilities and look for the Superdrive updater 2.1. Delete it. Now restart. When I restarted, it didn't give me that error anymore. "

@xandman,
There was an update earlier - i don't remember when but it was the 2nd last update I did on my MBP.

@kwekeugene,
Thanks so much for helping me google it *grins* and finding the solution. Just checked and it all works well - just need to make sure the SuperDrive works (haven't tested that yet!!)
