I upgraded my MacPro5,1 without incident. However, the subsequent installation 
progress just hung the computer when the progress bar was about 9/10 of the way 
through. (I left it on overnight and nothing else happened.) Hard rebooting it 
worked successfully. Maybe this was related to its conversion of my SSD to 
APFS? Who knows.

Anyway, this isn't Cocoa-related, so we probably shouldn't be discussing it on 
this list.

Firmware upgraded to MP51.0084.B00 when installing macOS High Sierra. Starting 
computer from macOS Sierra Installer does not allow firmware to be upgraded. 
Must start computer from macOS Sierra then launch installer app and follow 
directions. Everything seems to be working fine.

High Sierra Firmware Update

2017-09-26 Thread Richard Charles
I have a 2009 Mac Pro with the firmware upgraded from MacPro4,1 B08 to 
MacPro5,1 B03. It has been running macOS Sierra flawlessly for 9 months. Now 
when installing macOS High Sierra I get the following message. 

 "To install macOS High Sierra, a firmware update is required.”

So apparently High Sierra upgrades the firmware on Mac Pro 5,1 models.

Question: Has anyone successfully upgraded the firmware an older Mac Pro when 
installing High Sierra?
