Help with SuperDrive Firmware Update 2.1??

yep when i go into the /applications/util folder and start up the update it says same message

I had the same problem on my C2D Black Macbook -- for some reason the Firmware Updater did it's job and then left itself in the startup items.

Here's how to get rid of it:

System Preferences --> Accounts -> Login Items -> Click on the Firmware update in the list and then click the "-" button at the bottom.

I did that and it works like a charm. Oh weirdo Apple Firmware updater

thanks mate

is there some way i can tell if it did infact update ??

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. How do you know if the updater worked?

Taken from MacFixIt - SuperDrive Firmware Update 2.1 (#2): Successes, failures, repeating dialog

"The optical drive’s firmware version will be listed (in System Profiler) as HBEA if your drive is a MAT****A DVD-R UJ-857. Apple does not make it clear what other models of optical drive, if any, require the update."

I just checked on my Macbook, appears as HBEA.

Thanks for all the info guys. Now my MacBook is back to normal working order.

yep that got rid of it tyty , still no idea if it updated.. as i have
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA:
Firmware Revision: BE39


but it said i needed it...soo ok what ever its workin thats all i care...

I've noticed little or no difference after the firmware update.

I have the Matsu****a (Panasonic) drive in my MB, and I rarely burn CDs (which is what this update was supposed to fix). I mostly burn DVDs and have not noticed much (if any) change. Oh well
