Apple releases fixes for Bluetooth and MacBook Pro hard drives

I was going to buy a MacBook Pro laptop (MBP). But with all the hardware related problems, I am going to wait until Apple releases the next gen MBP.

It looks like this gen is a real lemon...

IMHO, Apple better fix it soon or they will loose even more sales..

"Odd, I'm currently on a 17" MBP that was BTO with a 500GB 7200 RPM harddrive purchased end of July 2009 and am experiencing the exact symptoms described here (both the beeping and the beachballs). However, Software Update doesn't show any updates, and when I manually downloaded the update and tried installing it, I only get "This computer does not need this update"."


I just purchased one also(actually two), 17", matte screen, 4gb, 3.06 ghz, 500gb 7200rpm ;) and when i did software update, it showed the firmware 2.0 update but it wasnt checked...other updates were checked except hard drive firmware update.... didnt show the bluetooth update though... grrrr

eeeeeeeyeah, im going to run the update and take it there.

I just got my MacBook Pro one week ago. I purchased the 7200 RPM 500 GB hard drive and there is no update for me as well. I get random spinning beach balls for no apparent reason what so ever. Does anyone know why this is?

When I got my Macbook Pro, I installed from my backed up iMac that got stolen. When I look at system profiler, it says the name of my laptop as "Howard's iMac". Anyone know how to change that around or if that might be the problem?

I was getting the random feezing on my 13" MVP which wasn't hard drive related. 10.5.8 fixed that

I'm confused here too. I have an older 15" MBP (early 2008) in which I put a Western Digital 500GB 5400 rpm drive (Model 5000BEVT). That MBP beeps and stalls exactly as described. I downloaded the update directly (not SW update) and it too says "this computer does not need this update".

However, my newer (late 2008) MBP which I put a Seagate 500GB 7200rpm (Model ST9500420AS, which means NO G-Shock), and it works perfectly, not stalls or beeps.

i was JUST having the bt issue with apple kb n mice, but i couldnt see the update. Do I have to have 10.5.8 first? because that's not going to happen.

I have a 15" MBP with the $50 matte screen and 320gb 7200rpm I just got two days ago. I didn't get the update but I still get the beachball of death sometimes. I heard the HD thing was only for 500 7200 rpm peeps :/

I have a late 2008 non-unibody MBP which has the intermittent problem of random freezing wireless MM. But I cannot see the bluetooth update from my software update. It is weird as the patch is intended for all macs with the broadcom chips?

This update seems to not work for me. I just correctly installed it by going to Utilities, and I was testing it using iPhoto, and it froze for a few dozen seconds.
