Apple EFi & SMC Firmware Updates

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

  • I have the same issue here. I am on a Retina MacBook Pro (MacBookPro10,1) which is kept on 10.7 by the company's IT department. It is running Sophos AV and Sophos SafeGuard (06.01.00) and we authenticate via Active Directory (with sudo / administrator rights).

    The SMC 1.1 update keeps popping up in Software Update, even though I have installed it about 5 times (according to System Preferences -> Software Update -> Installed Software) already. The SMC firmware remains at 2.3f32 while it should be 2.3f35 after the update. I tried resetting SMC as well as NV/PRAM without any luck...

    My guess is that Sophos' SafeGuard disk encryption is somehow messing things up as you have to enter your credentials on boot to be able to use the 'disk' and I assume you cannot 'boot' the firmware update. However the post above suggests it should work...

    Anybody got a clue?
