Apple EFi & SMC Firmware Updates

MaxMaster

I'm using Sophos SafeGuard 05.50.01 on my MacBookPro and have some important firmware updates from Apple Software Update that needs to be installed to my notebook.

How I do it normally, do I have to uninstall SafeGuard first or how temporary disable SafeGuard?

Thank you in advance

Max

    BEFORE you run ANY mac updates make sure to update your SGN to the latest which is 6.01.  You don't need to decrypt, or uninstall the current version, just install over it.  After that any firmware or mac updatse containing updated EFI modules should work exactly as needed.

    Note: This will work for SAME OS X VERSIONS already, if you're updating from 10.6 to 10.7 or 10.7 to 10.8, you WILL need to decrypt your system and remove Sophos SafeGuard BEFORE updating the OS to a new version.
