@ Darkness – The wake from sleep problem was driving me crazy. Try the link below. It appears this was some sort of tip from last year, yet appears to work today on my Leopard MBP.
Anyway, you may want to try it out:

HAHAHAHAHA!!! My MacBook Pro is peeerrrrfect!! No firmware updates needed!!
All you others have overheating/overclocked processors and will HAVE TROUBLE LATER!!
Also I love Tiger….Leopard is renamed Leoptard.
Apple should be ashamed producing such crap lately.
The beatings will continue until the products improve…
It’s the pirate way…
Interesting comment Mad Mac….
Anyway, my MacBook Pro came 3 days after the tuesday they were announced (the new one with the multi-touch touchpad). I guess it came with the update…and that was just over a month ago. Gives you an idea of how long things take to get out there.
My MacBook Pro has version MBP31.0070.B05 and the update would not load either. It is a 2.6 that I bought myself for Christmas.
@ Neglected
I too have the non-core duo MacBook Pro. What is it that makes our computers supposedly not need these updates? i want updates. Gimme two!
All the cool people are going.
Mine is now crackalakin snappy.

Cubert,
I think you get the award, it was a breath of fresh air not read about snap, crackle and pop.
Good one dude.
For some reason I now have an urge for Rice Bubbles. Mmm.
Snap-a-licious!
No snap for me, either. 1st gen (the non-C2D) MacBook here.
Oooh! Never done a firmware update before. That sound my iMac made sounded like a strangled start-up chime. I guessed it worked…I think I’ll go back to those Rice Bubbles.
1st gen MBP here. no update either. i love my machine… but i was pretty po’d that they came out with the C2D less than a year later – that’s like going from a G4 to a G5. 64 bit. 802.11n… no updates! c’mon, apple! how about some love for the early adopters?
Did the firmware slow down anybody else’s machine? Upon reboot, Safari and Mail were so slow to launch that I had to reboot again. The second time, apps reluctantly launched, but then my whole computer completely froze up during a movie (DVD, not iTunes).
ick.
I enjoy getting updates for stuff on my Mac because they tend to make the thing better than it already was. On Windows it’s a total pain I never got the sense of any benefit other than just cluttering my machine up further. All hail Apple.
No update for my 1.82 Macbook. Guess it’s snappy enough!
1st gen Core Duo MacBook – no update, which is just as well, the laptop runs perfectly and is plenty fast.
The firmware and keyboard updates to my Core2Duo iMac on the other hand were kind of cool to install!
I feel snappier!
This update fixes a big glitch on the late 2007 MacBooks. They were unable to choose windows partitions at startup, by holding alt down. Now it works!! Thank you for listening Apple!!

Ouch!
Everything was going OK until I loaded that bloody firmware for my iMac. Now when I wake the computer from it’s sleep mode I get a blue screen for about 5 seconds and then I get my desktop. Thanks Apple, thanks for nothing!. Next time I’m going back to what I normally do…wait a couple of weeks for the bugs to appear and then they’re fixed. Grrr!
wow! cool
thanks again Apple for coming through and “doing the right thing!”
This is why I like MAC!!!
