Schmitz Apple has released [1]MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.0, which is recommended for MacBook Air models released in the middle of 2012. The release addresses a rare problem that could cause a system to fail to start back up from a crash. As always with firmware updates, we recommend relying on Software Update or the App Store app to ensure you get the firmware update for your specific model, and being careful not to interrupt the update process. Apple also notes that your MacBook Air will shut down after the update is complete, and that you should wait a minute before restarting it.
