Apple releases AirPort hardware, MacBook Pro, Final Cut updates

Posted on 24 Jun 2009 at 09:46

Apple has released firmware updates for its latest AirPort hardware and the new MacBook Pro, plus a software patch for Final Cut Pro.

Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.4.2 provides several fixes for: problems with extending and maintaining connectivity with extended networks; an issue with clients that enable 802.11 “Power Save”; connectivity issues with some third-party devices; an issue when the base station is configured for PPPoE; and some Back To My Mac issues with connectivity and support for third-party routers.

The http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacBook_Pro_EFI_Firmware_Update_1_7_ addresses an issue reported by a small number of June 2009 MacBook Pro users who have installed drives based on the SATA 3Gbps specification. Apple notes that while this update allows drives to use transfer rates greater than 1.5Gbps, it has not qualified or offered these drives for Mac notebooks and their use is unsupported.

Finally, Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 fixes problems with real-time playback in Final Cut Pro with Mac Pro (Early 2009) models and Xserve (Early 2009) models when working with complex sequences or high-bandwidth media formats.
