The airport problem occurs after you have upgraded to 10.4.6. It corrupts your WEP/WPA password. Follow the directions below to fix the issue.

- Go to System Preferences
- Click Network
- Highlight AirPort and click Configure
- Choose "By default, join: Preferred networks"
- Select your access point and click edit
- Click on "show password"

At this point you should see a crazy corrupt password.. Proof that it is jacked up. Now:

- Exit that window back to the access point list
- Remove your access point with the "-" button
- Launch your keychain and delete your access point keychain entry.
- Reboot
- Go back to the "By default, join:" page and click the "+" this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot, BAM, FIXED!

I have a rev B Macbook (2 GHz) and I had a slight high pitch whine when it was idling, but I can't hear it at all now after the firmware update.

I really hope this does fix the noise. It didn't bother me at first, but is now starting to get on my nerves. Can't wait for class to be over so I can get home and update.

is this any different from the update that came with bootcamp?

is this any different from the update that came with bootcamp?

Since the firmware 1.0.1 installer is actionable on my machine running 1.0.0, and post-installation the process window finishes with "your firmware 1.0.1 is now up to date" - I'd say yes.

Plus the fact that Apple has removed v 1.0.0 from its update page.

 

[spencecb]

Well, it didn't help the whine. So, screw that. Back to muffling it with folding.

If your airport is screwed, you probably have a hardware problem and need to take it in for repair. Mine's in the shop right now.

I assume you're talking about the common airport problems on all intel macs? Slow connections, high ping times?

Anyone care to report the firmware version of their machine after the 1.0.1 update?

Apple's site has no information (New Years Resolution: Must write Changelogs) apart from it now runs on computers set up for people who read backwards.

Can't Upgrade

Is anyone else having problems installing this upgrade? The last one went without a hitch, but I've tried installing this one five times and it hasn't worked. I keep getting the shut down dialogue after attempting to install. I compared my Mac's info to the posted image and it isn't the same. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you downloaded the right update? Make sure you have the one for imac, not MBP or MacMini...

It says iMac. And I do everything right. Hit shut down... hold the power button till it flashes, still nothing.

Soo... if my system profiler says "MBP11.0055.B02" that would be v. 1.0?

 

[dr_lha]

Yes, that's the 1.0 firmware.

Looks like the firmware revision is different in the 1.0.1 and 1.0 installers then.

Damn, I wish Apple would say what's changed.

 

[furryrabidbunny]

I am a hundred percent positive it is the iMac firmware... it says that many times in text and in the application name.

Downloaded again...

I downloaded the file again and it took. Now up-to-date
Edit:
About the change log... All I know is after the last update, I got a huge performance boost... iTunes import times doubled. I'll install any firware update that is thrown my way.

Damn you! Now I have to go install it.

You want to. Before the first one I was getting around 7-8x on import, after that 13-14x. Now, I got as high as 20x. Thats direct from a CD. Re-encoding (I have a cell phone that plays music) was giving me 39-40x. I was glad to know that it is software side that was causing slow itunes performance, because that was a huge disappointment when I got my Mac three weeks ago. I was getting faster import speeds on my eMac (pre-firmware update of course).

Last one installed fine for me too but this new one doesn't

Any ideas?
