Today Apple has published a firmware update to version 1.1 aimed at the flash storage units of the MacBook Air marketed between June 2012 and June 2013. This is due to a problem detected by Apple that can make all data saved on the unit may be lost.

The versions of these models to which the update is directed are those that mounted 64 and 128 Gb drives storage, where if when trying to install the update it is not installed, Apple will take care of the replacement of the affected unit due to an error in the SSD hardware itself in a very small percentage of computers.

As I have already mentioned, according to Apple, the percentage of affected MacBook Air is very small, but if when installing the update and restarting the computer when we start our session, we are redirected to this page, it is highly recommended that contact Apple support As soon as possible to send your equipment and have the defective unit replaced as it is affected. If, on the contrary, it shows us an update message that has been carried out correctly, we will have nothing to worry about.

Possibilities for unit change is make an appointment at an Apple Store For this purpose, contact an Apple certified technical service or contact Apple directly for shipping. On the other hand, within the page itself, they offer us a link to show us how to carry out a backup of our data.

    I have updated and now the hard disk does not detect me, I have booted from an external disk and not even the hard disk utility finds it, I think this update has broken my computer.
    At Apple they tell me that it is no longer under warranty and therefore they pass me by, so I will have to go to the checkout to buy a new album.

      Well, claim again, if it worked before and after the update it has stopped doing it ... the warranty of the equipment no longer influences but the update to said firmware has rendered your MacBook Air useless and that without a doubt Apple should take care of .
