Superdrive firmware update

Email me when someone replies to this comment. John-doe Feb 23 It has been known to cause drives to fail. This installer has been pulled from the Apple website. Abraham-Irawan Jun 30 Mr-Kitty Jun 28 Would anyone WITH a listed machine that has updated care to comment on the installation and resulting performance? Fest Jun 18 Piem22 May 31 Jmahon24 May 31 When attempting update I receive the message "There are no devices on this computer which need updating.

Kenneth-Lister May 31 I have a PowerBook G4 1. Ray16 May 31 Guest Apr 28 Easiest way to find out whether you need the update is to run it. If your drive does need it, then the alteration will proceed. Apple seems to limit applicability to certain eMacs and G5s. It's a lot easier than using Apples's method. Can somebody with one of the G5s mentioned tell me what SuperDrive this is updating?

Is it the Pioneer DVR? Can't seem to find any sites specifying what specific vendor drive this firmware is for Apple is so misleading when it comes out with these updates. They should just specify which brand of product they are updating and make it universal.

There are a lot of us who have installed various Pioneer branded products into our macs who would like current firmware updates that work with our macs. I've been able to flash the first two with the current Pioneer PC firmware using a third-party flashing utility thanks Las Vegas , but no update has been available for the DVR as of this writing.

Just thought this firmware may be the one I'm looking for. However, knowing Apple, it probably won't run unless the drive is actually installed in a G5 or eMac.

Way to go Apple! Am I going to get dual layer burning now out of my Pioneer? Show more. Safe download Unsafe download Why check apps.

I have just had a new superdrive installed under Applecare, which needed updating to the latest firmware. However, when I try and run the updater I get the same error message as you did.
