Since one of the recent updates, everytime I restart my computer or turn it back on I get this message:
"No Updatable Devices Found - No devices were found that require this firmware update"
Why is this? It is there every time. Doesn't seem right somehow.
Thanks

it's probably for the superdrive, it was a very common problem. you need to go to your apps>utilities folder, and there is a superdrive update installer, i'm not sure exactly what it is called, but something close to that, it is very noticable, and you just need to delete that.

I found "superdrive update 2.1". Looks like that must be it. Does deleting it do no harm? If so, maybe this is a stupid question, but, why is it there? Or was that yet another mistake from the terrible 10.4.10 update? ( I.e. popping noises, and my USB FAT32 hard drive still not being recognised!)

Thanks

just for the sake of information. the file was there because it had to download the installer before it could run it; which it did. i guess they just couldn't automatically delete it. but they had it set so the installer would run when you booted your computer, so it would upgrade the superdrive right after you booted from your system upgrade. so it was then running the installer when ever you booted, but there was nothing to install.
