Not sure if this is the correct forum since this is a SU item, but it trashed my PowerBook's Bluetooth adapter while attempting to update the firmware on my keyboard (not the PowerBook's obviously). The Bluetooth menu bar extra had a broken icon across the Bluetooth icon. When you click on it it reads "Not available." The System Prefs pane also disappears.
I had to reset my PMU to get Bluetooth back again and the keyboard working. The firmware was never updated. Attempting to do so again repeats the problem.
Monitoring the Apple boards, others have had similar problems, so beware.
Thank you Apple for releasing another half-baked software release.

I haven't ran the update yet, am waiting to hear from others. I don't want this to break connection with my Motorola e815. Keep posting anyone who tries it out!

Is this really an official Apple release?
The product requirements on VersionTracker make me sceptical - I've never heard the iMac referred to as "Gooseneck", and a 12" Titanium PowerBook?!

It does appear in Software Update for those with Bluetooth adapters.

The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

Both my Apple internal BT adapters have said that I don't need the updater when I run it. The one on my Mac Mini and my 12" Albook. WHen you run the installer it actually tells you if you need it or not.
