Some Macbook Pros are updated along with iWork '09

I have a late 2008 MBP Glossy! Software update showed smc firmware.

istat pro shows temps before update were.......during basic web browsing, low res Hulu in small window.

60 degrees cpu, 64 cpu diode. Fans were always at 1999/2005 rpms. Except when training America's Army, then they were up to 4500 rpms

After smc update...

59 degreees, 60 cpu diode, fans still at same range, however they seem to go up too 3000-3500 if watching full screen video lo/hi res on Hulu.

But, even though the cpu is a degree cooler theoretically, and the fans are spinning faster when needed, the case and keyboard are HOTTER TO THE TOUCH, much more uncomfortable to use now.

I'm thinking about doing a clean install, and software update all again EXCEPT the newest smc firmware. Any thoughts?

Since applying this SMC update, my cpu is reaching crazy temperatures. While importing some avchd in iMovie my processor high an all time high of 91*c.
I'd much prefer noisier fans and cooler cpu. Maybe this is apple's way of making me buy a new computer.. burn out my cpu.

I have a 1st gen 17" Core Duo MBP with ATI 1600 and the fan regulation is so poor that when converting video or rendering 3D (CPU load near full) iStat Pro would report the CPU temp at over 90 C. Sometimes it would overheat and reboot.

I took it in for warranty service and all the Apple Store people could do was replace the fan, which didn't solve anything. So I installed Fan Control in my System Preferences and set up the fan speeds myself, and now it runs perfectly. I think Apple must have biased the default settings for quiet operation, but they screwed up - these MBP's obviously need to apply the fan more liberally.

The current firmware update is not available on my MBP. I'm very glad Apple's on top of this.

I've had no problems with my update.

The firmware killed my June 2007 MBP. It downloaded ok and asked to Restart. Then after restart I only get a black screen. I reset PRAM, removed the battery and reset SMC, changed the harddrive - nothing, not even the white screen or a bong. It is now sitting at the Apple Store awaiting a new motherboard.

Not to deter anyone... I just thought I'd mention that this unfortunate event happened to me.

And there's a VoiceOver Kit update as well. For all the newtype
shuffle owners ;)

NOTE: Requires iPod shuffle (3rd generation) software version 1.1 available using iTunes

I got it, with my Macbook Pro (Early 2008).

Late 2007 MBP. The firmware update appeared for me, but after downloading, it didn't auto start up as the instructions said it would.

Went into the Utilities folder to do it manually. Update went fine. After restarting, the app didn't confirm that it was successful like the instructions said it would.

In System Profiler before the update: SMC Version (System) was 1.16f8.
After the updateL 1.16f11.

Early '08 MBP. Firmware update installed by download. All seemed fine until re-boot resulted in vanishing Airport card. (not listed in hardware & not working via screen controls). 'Net check showed others with same problem, tho not related to recent firmware update. Airport reappeared after restart with OSX disk in CD slot. No re-install initiated.

the new SMC Firmware Update 1.3 does NOT fix the sleep issues caused by 10.5.7 (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2005687).
