Stakes around the new Update 2.6 of MacBook Air EFI Firmware.
Available since January 09, 2013, this update is recommended for MacBook Air models.
We have noted that this update
fixes a color issue with HDMI displays connected to MacBook Air, resolves an
issue with Windows which can prevent MacBook Air from booting properly, and
also resolves an issue where unplugging a Thunderbolt device may cause the
system to freeze when waking from standby.
Therefore here are some
recommendations from Apple: ‘’your
computer's power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source.
When your MacBook Air restarts, a gray screen will appear with a
status bar to indicate the progress of the update. It will take several minutes
for the update to complete. Do not disturb or shut off the power on your
MacBook Air during this’’.
