You can’t knock a useful firmware update.
Late Wednesday, Apple released its MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 2.6 for its mid-2012 MacBook Air notebooks. The update, a 5 megabyte download, offers the following fixes and changes:
– Fixes a color issue with HDMI displays connected to MacBook Air.
– Resolves an issue with Windows which can prevent MacBook Air from booting properly.
– Resolves an issue where unplugging a Thunderbolt device may cause the system to freeze when waking from standby.
The update, which can be snagged via the Software Update feature, requires a mid-2012 MacBook Air and OS X 10.8.2 or later to install and run.
