today is May 14th, 2013, and there is a new update called Thunderbolt firmware update 1.2. I updated it 3 times now and it won't go away. i can't go to the app store without it telling me that i need to update it. is it a glitch or am i doing something wrong?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Repair permissions and restart your computer if you have not already done so. If still receiving updating messages, post in the App Store forums.
Make sure you have AC power connected, and for extra care, make sure you don't have any devices connected to your ThunderBolt bus.
When I first tried to install the update, I had forgotten that I still had my ThunderBolt HD attached, and the update didn't install. I unplugged the external HD, and the update installed with no issues.
Unplugged any device from MiniDP port (such as a monitor), and try to update again. This has worked for me.
i was having the exact same problem as you were. THe only thing I changed was I plugged in my compuer (AC power) After I plugged it in and updated it again, It went right away.
Hope this helps!!🙂
I have the same problem. I followed directions carefully according to the Apple Support bulletin. I disconnected all items from the Macbook Pro I had connected to the Thunderbolt display, ran the installer and restarted. Even so, I get the message it did not install after running the install. However upon checking in the System Report I find that it did install! At first the Software update seems to have worked but later when it checks for new updates it says I need to update again. How do I make this go away!
Why won't my software update?
