Firmware updates aren't installed automatically alongside macOS on Mac Pro (Mid 2010) and Mac Pro (Mid 2012), unlike other Mac models. Follow these steps to ensure that your Mac Pro receives any available firmware updates when you update or reinstall macOS.

If you've tried to reinstall macOS on these models using macOS Recovery and see the screen that says a firmware update is required, learn what to do.

Get firmware updates after updating macOS

On a Mac, everything is designed to work just the way you expect it to — from operating it with simple, intuitive gestures to asking Siri to find a file to having your apps automatically update themselves. Whatever you set out to do on a Mac, there’s much less to learn and that much more to accomplish. Google Earth Pro on desktop is free for users with advanced feature needs.

First, use the App Store app to update the software on your Mac. After the update is complete:

  1. Choose Apple () menu > App Store. Search for macOS. Click the result for the current version of macOS, then click Get to start the download.
  2. The installer downloads to your Applications folder and opens when it's complete. If it doesn't launch automatically, find Install macOS in your Applications folder and double-click to open it.
  3. Click Continue.
  4. If your Mac needs a firmware update, you see this screen:
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to apply the firmware update.

  2. The installer downloads to your Applications folder and opens when it's complete. If it doesn't launch automatically, find Install macOS in your Applications folder and double-click to open it.
  3. Click Continue.
  4. If your Mac needs a firmware update, you see this screen:
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to apply the firmware update.

Using macOS Recovery on these Mac models

  1. Click Shut Down. If your Mac Pro doesn't shut down on its own, press and hold the power button to turn it off.
  2. Hold the power button until the power indicator light flashes or you hear a long tone. A grey screen with an Apple logo and progress bar appear. When the update is complete, your Mac Pro starts up.
  3. Restart your Mac Pro, then immediately hold down Option-Command-R to reinstall macOS. You shouldn't be asked to install firmware again.
