Default MacBook Pro EFI & SMC Firmware Updates Now Available

http://support.apple.com/downloads/...ware_Update_1_2

Apple has released EFI and SMC updates for the new MacBooks that were introduced in October.  The updates apply to the new aluminum MacBook, the new MacBook Pro, and the revised MacBook Air and increase stability, fix the infamous sleeping issues, and do all kinds of other fun stuff including fixing the charging light on the Magsafe adapter.

All of your necessary updates are available in Software Update for your downloading, installing, and updating pleasure.  If you're one of the lucky ones who snagged a new machine recently, let us know how the updates went for you.  Be aware that the updates will download separately.  Software Update will show you the first update.  Do it.  Then run Software Update again and you'll be presented with the second.

For those with the unibody MacBook, you'll need to hit software update twice. The first one will install the EFI update and the 2nd the SMC update.

I found I had to run a couple times to get both updates.









Yeah, I'm cheeky.

For the first time since I got it, my Powerbook awakened from sleep this morning. Quite a refreshing change!

Update: OMG did I say Powerbook?
