Apple has released two fixes in the form of firmware updates, solving issues related to SuperDrives and AirPort wireless cards. Before you go looking for your fix, make sure you have already upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later. It is required for said firmware patches’ installation.

Separate EFI firmware updates are available for the MacBook and MacBook Pro lineups, allowing users to eliminate loud noises made by the optical disk drive when waking their machine from sleep. While the noise does not affect hardware performance, mounting complaints prompted Apple to release a fix.

The AirPort Client update is available for all Mac machines running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2. This update comes after several MacBook, MacBook Pro and Mac mini users complained of AirPort issues ranging from an inability to share the Internet connection to the occasional loss of connection all together. Some have also complained about not being able to turn their AirPort connection on/off.

As always, the above updates are available at via Software Update. If you have any problems with installation or the problem continues to persist, do not hesitate to call The Foundation at (612) 465-0700.
