Q: Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update could not complete.
Hi there.
Got myself a brand new Mac Pro recently and am loving it. Hooked up my old TB display that went unused for a few months cause the All-In-One cable is busted. No big deal, I bought myself a TB cable and used that to hook it up and it works great.
That is, until I went into the App Store and noticed a firmware update for the display among all the other system updated. I didn't think anything of it at the time and just continued to download and install all the updates in bulk. Well, after all was said and done I got the popup saying it couldn't apply the update to the display since it needs to run through the all-in-one cable to do so. Not a problem I thought, it's not that important to me it gets installed. But now after every time I reboot the machine I get the same annoying popup in my face, no matter what I try to do to remove it. I'm fine with not getting the update, I just want this friggin popup to go away!
I'm a pretty advanced user so I'm not against running terminal commands and/or editing plists or what have you to resolve this issue. I just don't know where to look and I figured this would be my last ditch effort in fixing it before I say screw it, wipe the system and start fresh. So any insight into this would be helpful. Thank you.
