iMac Graphics FW Update 1.0.2

Same thing here.
Whats up with Apple providing an update that your system will not let you install it?

Has to be a glitch of some sort.

This is what the installer log says after failing:

Sep 10 20:02:33 Installer[264]: Package Authoring Warning: Package reference does not include required hash for package id auto.

Arimathéia,

Exactly the same thing here!!!!

iMac 8,1 MB324BZ/A
10.5.8
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro:

Modelo do Grupo de Circuitos Integrados: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro
Tipo: Monitor
Barramento: PCIe
Largura Lane PCIe: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Fornecedor: ATI (0x1002)
ID do Dispositivo: 0x9583
ID da Revisão: 0x0000
Revisão da ROM: 113-B2250L-259
Versão do Driver EFI: 01.00.259

I have the HD2400 XT and get the same thing: "You do not need this update."

Did any of you check to see if your system needed the update? My iMac has the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro but I already have Firmware version:

EFI Driver Version: 01.00.219

To me the update you are referring is 1.0.2, seems older than what I already have. Also I ran Software update and my machine did not see that this update was necessary so in this instance I'm leaving well enough alone.

I think the EFI driver is different to the graphics card firmware. + Apple doesn't always distribute firmware updates using Software Update - the old firmware vs software debate.

I have exactly the same problem, with an iMac 8,1.

Though my System Profiler seems to show something different to everyone else's I've seen, with regards to the firmware number:

Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x9583
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-B2250L-259
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.259


All other coy-and-pastes from Sys Prof have shown 01.00.219, not .259.

Any ideas?

Same message I received.

No luck in installing it here either, it doesn't even show up in the Software Update list.

Same here, Alert: Your computer does not need this update.
Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 2400
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.259

OS X 10.6.1

Strange as I meet the requirements, is this the same as the EFI driver 1.0.259 and therefore older? Would ignore usually and assume that I am up to date but still unsure if I am!

I have an older firmware - but it won't install here as well. Running 10.6.1, too.

ROM-Version: 113-B2250F-212
EFI-Treiberversion: 01.00.212

Shouldn't it at least update to the version you have (.259)? Something's wrong here, isn't it?

Anyone knows if you can find out the most recent firmware version number somewhere (ATI website, maybe)?

(Note: I have a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, but I have met people in this forum who have a .259-version firmware with this card, too.)

I've got an *iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (Early 2008)*, I'm running *Mac OS X 10.5.8* and 'Software Update' doesn't list this update as available for my current hardware/system. I've downloaded it and tried to install, no go: *"Your computer does no need this update."*

(present System Profiler info)
*ROM Revision: 113-B2250L-259*
*EFI Driver Version: 01.00.259*

I phoned AppleCare this morning and confirmed the firmware is listed in System Profiler as *EFI Driver Version*, therefore if your EFI Driver is later than 1.00.2 then your machine is already up to date.
