Apple posts a boatload of updates
Apple just posted a bunch of software updates over at its download site. Updates include Final Cut Pro 6.0.1, Motion 3.0.1 (improves stability, resolves performance issues), Color 1.0.1, Compressor 3.0.1, Soundtrack Pro 2.0.1, a combo-style Pro Applications Update, and a SuperDrive Firmware Update 2.1 (improves readability of certain CD media).
Thanks Mason Jagel.

Is there any software fix out there yet for disabled SuperDrives on MB, caused by the SuperDriveUpdater2.1 that was supposed to "fix" and "improve" performance of "some media".
I love Apple -- been using since High School, but they are really gonna piss a bunch of "switchers" off like this.

June 28 2007 at 8:52 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyupdate: I tried to reinstall the firmware update from a downloaded copy. It wouldn't let me, said it was up to date. I changed a bit of the code inside the installer package and it installed the firmware updater program (though maybe it was already installed) in applications/utilities. The SuperDrive Update 2.1 won't work, says "No devices were found that require this firmware update."
computer off, battery out, press the on button for 5 seconds to reset, startup. The drive doesn't make it's usual wheezing noise at startup, won't accept discs (usually it pulls them in).
Bricked.
Here's some people on the Apple forums with the same thing:

Hmm, it says my new MBP doesn't need the update. Too bad, I was hoping it would explain the poor performance (IMHO) of my Superdrive.

After installing this update, the SuperDrive Update 2.1 utility program keeps launching upon start-up of Mac OS. How can I turn it off?
