MacBook Pro Firmware

What firmware am I on and how do I figure that out? Also am I up to date on that? How can I find out if I am up to date?

Please do not tell me that if I have no software to download on the Software Update that I am up to date and also please do not tell me that I am up to date with out telling me how.

Thanks

You can see a list of current firmware version by model (and links for downloading updates, if needed) here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237

Notice this statement in the article, which applies to you (I added the underline): +In some cases _System Profiler may report later versions of firmware than those listed below; if this is the case, your computer does not require any additional firmware updates_. However, if your firmware version is lower than the one listed in this table, you should upgrade by following the link provided.+

"SMC Version (system): 1.41f2"

You do not need the update, and it will not install if you try.

No, nikulr, you aren't reading carefully enough. Your machine reports 1.41f2. The original 13-inch MacBook's latest firmware, per the article, is 1.4f12. You do not have MacBook firmware on your MacBook Pro. Let go of this obsession and move on.
