My thunderbold firmware update 1.2 (2013) keeps popping up in App store - even though I installed it already ....

The subject says it.

I already installed the update but it keeps poping up.

What can I do to shut it up ?

Or didn't I install it properly ?


One thing to note - I installed the update on battery power only (even though not recommendet I know).

But the screen went grey like it says in the instructions etc.


Thanks a lot in advance,


Michi

Hello michihauer,



The system will, indeed, need to be connected to a power source for the update to actually install. The grey screen was likely an attempt to install the update that was abandoned as soon as the system identified that it was not connected to an external power source.

Do not disturb or shut off the power on your computer during this update. Note: Your computer must be plugged into AC power for the update to install.



All the best,

Allen
