MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air EFI firmware updates

I ran this update on my Macbook purchased 1 Nov 2007 and the update went through file. That is until it killed my bluetooth. After plugging in my cell phone via usb (to charge it, doesn't sync through the cable) bluetooth dies. I get the "Bluetooth: Not available" message but the hub is still reported in system profiler under the USB section. I go to console and find this message "4/16/08 7:40:49 AM kernel E:[AppleUSBBluetoothHCIController][InterruptReadHandler] Received kIOReturnAborted with 1 pending interrupts" If I do a full shutdown and then bring the computer back up the bluetooth works fine and this all worked fine before the update so I don't know what's going on.

seems like the update killed my airport... anybody got the same problem? before no 10.5.2 airport issue in sight (Connection timeout on connecting to certain networks), but now...

anybody else got that problem after updating the EFI?

Neither my brand new Mac Book Pro nor my iMac from Sept 2006 (both on 10.5.2) want this update in 'Software Update'. Come on TUAW, you posted this story and got us concerned about our updates. Is this thing needed for most people or not? Has Apple messed this up or is it something we should just ignore?

AHHH!!! My late 2007 macbook still doesn't want it!!! Can anyone help me?

Hi there,

Has anyone experienced a loss in battery health after running the update. I have still to do some tests, but I think that after the EFI update my batter has lost 20% fo battery health (down to 3323 mAh). I am not an expert, so I would like to also ask if this might be related to the update.

Thanks

odd....my brand new out of the box 2.6Ghz 15" MBP is running boot version MBP41.00C1.B00

the DVD player app causes the MB to kernel panic. it's a replicable problem. here's a video I made of it (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0KksQAMOIcg) In the comments are the specific items listed in all the Panic logs.


OK...now I know exactly what you're talking about.

That has also happened to me more times than I now care to remember. I thought it was just something I did.

I hope it's fixed as well.

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but my late 2007 Black MacBook now "feels" much speedier after this firmware update.

Anyone else...?

maybe this will finally fix the damn DVD Player graphics issue with the intel GMA X3100 chip...b/c obviously the "Graphics Update" with 10.5.2 update didn't.
