Has anybody tried to install the bluetooth firmware update that came out today? The dialog box says the update should take "some time" but mine's been going for ~3 hours or so and I was wondering if that was normal.

TIA,

The BT update went smoothly and quickly. After the installation and required restart, the firmware update comes up and installs quickly. Then another restart.

It won't install on my 2nd gen MBA.

"There was a problem updating Bluetooth so that the update cannot continue.

Turn off any unnecessary Bluetooth devices you are using and try updating again."

I've turned off anything in the house that has Bluetooth and still no go.

This is the first time in 10 years that I've ever had a problem with an update.

I had the same thing happen but tried again later and it installed. Just keep trying and see what happens.

I got the same message saying that it would take a while. It actually installed very quickly, in just seconds, restarted the computer and that was that.

I switched to another user and it installed in about 10 seconds.
The system rebooted and all is well.
Thanks everybody.
