…and yet one more update from Apple. Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station (802.11n) Firmware 7.3.2

timecapsule 20080630 213551 ...and yet one more update from Apple. Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station (802.11n) Firmware 7.3.2I must admit, I have an irrational fear of firmware updates.

The Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station (802.11n) Firmware 7.3.2 update requires that you already have AirPort Utility 5.3.2 installed (versions for Leopard, Tiger and Windows are available).

What does it do? Well, let’s see what Apple has to say…

The Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n* Firmware 7.3.2 updates include bug fixes.

Hmm…bug fixes. That should take care of anyone who found the write ups on the other updates too exhaustive but it doesn’t ease my fears.

EFI Firmware updates posted for iMac, MacPro, MacBook, MacBook Pro and Xserve

Workers at Apple seem to be focusing on updates this week. Today the company issued EFI Firmware updates for much of its hardware:

With the exception of the Xserves, these Firmware updates improve performance and reliability of Intel Core 2 Duo processors and fix issues with Boot Camp. The Xserve Firmware update is simply a “performance and reliability” update.

In addition, Apple has also posted a download for Firmware Restoration CD 1.4 which will allow you to restore the firmware of your Intel-based Macintosh computer in case of an interrupted or unsuccessful update. There are few things less satisfying than “updatus interruptus.”
