#Macbook pro software update on 2011 Patch#

This software update for the new iMac systems is more than just a patch for a few drivers, and includes fixes for MobileMe services, Networking protocol handling, and some system applications in addition to the graphics fixes. Keep in mind that this update requires that you initially install the software fix for these iMac systems, so if you apply these patches, manually be sure to install that first. After updating, the Boot ROM on your iMac will be 0A. This update addresses similar Thunderbolt issues on the iMac that are addressed on the MacBook Pro systems, though it appears this update does not implement any changes to the graphics system. After updating, the build version for OS X 10.6.7 on these systems will be 10J4035, which can be checked by going to the 'About This Mac' option in the Apple menu and clicking on the 'Version 10.6.7' text in the center of the window. MacBook Pro Software Update 1.4 (132.69MB)Īccompanying the EFI update for the new MacBook Pro systems is a software update fix that addresses the same issues with graphics stability and performance, and bug fixes to the Thunderbolt connections. After updating, the system's Boot ROM version will be 0E, which can be checked using the System Profiler utility. It also addresses some graphics stability issues with the initial firmware release. This update fixes a problem in the 2011 MacBook Pro models in which when running Boot Camp, Turbo Mode would not work properly. Alternatively, you can install them as standalone updates: If you are unsure whether or not you need the update, just check Software Update on your system (in the Apple menu) and if the updates become available, then you can install them from there.

These updates are specific to the new MacBook Pro and iMac models released this year that have the Thunderbolt technology, so if you have an older MacBook model then you do not need to download these updates. Apple has released a few updates for the firmware and operating system software for the latest MacBook Pro and iMac models that address problems with Boot Camp, graphics stability and external display support, and also some bugs with the new Thunderbolt I/O connection technology.
