Resolved What The **** Just Happened? (EFI Update)


my first "what **** happened?" moment mac.

installed efi update air through software update , went super quick , went reboot. that's when fecal matter hit fan.

shut down got loud 5 second buzzer. started freak , stopped , 3 seconds later hear startup chime. think maybe freak thing , hope boots fine. doesn't. boot screens comes apple logo , progress bar underneath. see it, shut down againg , goes resart cycle chimes, boot screen pops , restarts on , on again.

did thing think of doing hold power button down until stopped trying boot up, did. hit power button again see if same thing before call apple. boots fine , powered , seems ok, heck about???

should call apple , see say?

----------

just noticed looks efi update did not install. still showing under software update.

should do? try again?
 

happened me while updating efi on imac... honestly, think it's not of issue - outside of mildly alarming behavior.

did efi update succeed?

edit: make sure battery charged, , power plugged in, too. possible have corrupted updater, or incorrect version?
