simonjohnharris Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi I am having an issue with my newly built Yosemite Hackintosh on my E6320. The SMBIOS is configured for MacBook Pro 8,1. There were some recent updates from the AppStore which I have applied, and in error, I also applied the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Software Update 2.7 update. Luckily, everything is still working fine but the AppStore is still showing this update as an available one. It also shows in the Installed Updates section (not sure how this worked). Does anyone know how to remove the available update? I tried to hide the update in the AppStore app but this did not work. I also tried the following Terminal command but this also didn't work. sudo softwareupdate --ignore MacBookProEFIUpdate2.7-2.7 Any help would be appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 20, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2015 You can ignore the update and not install it if you have already done so. I've seen this in the past and, sometimes, the update offer can also disappear after you've installed it several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonjohnharris Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I can try that. I have installed the EFI update 5 times now to try and get rid of it. I would really like to see this disappear so that with future updates, I can select 'update all'. Otherwise I will have to select each one individually. If there is a way, I'd love to know.

Administrators Hervé Posted August 21, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm surprised you were offered this update. I'm using the same MBP8,1 SMBIOS on my E6220 and I've never received that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted August 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2015 I could be mistaken, but if you follow Hervé Tuning Article using the latest SMC version for MBP8.1, the update should go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlutoDelic Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have a similar update for a thunderbolt firmware showing up on my E6410. I've found the Hide update thing in App Store, but it doesnt work on Yosemite, strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
