Do not disturb or shut off the power on your MacBook Pro during this update.īoot ROM or SMC Version Information: After MacBook Pro update has successfully completed, your Boot ROM Version will be 24. It will take several minutes for the update to complete. When your MacBook Pro restarts, a gray screen will appear with a status bar to indicate the progress of the update. Your computer's power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source. The MacBook Pro EFI Update will update the EFI firmware on your notebook computer. This update includes improvements delivered in MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.2 that enables Lion Internet Recovery from an Internet connection, resolves issues with Apple Thunderbolt Display compatibility and Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode performance on MacBook Pro (early 2011) models. I am pressing option at bootup to boot the USB. This link from Microsoft tells you how to clear out those older registration files.This update fixes several issues to improve the stability of MacBook Pro (early 2011) and MacBook Pro (late 2011) computers and is recommended for all users. I have also used Disk Drill, which is a graphical tool which does the same thing. In that case, you have to get rid of the Office registration files that remember what the original hardware was, and then reinstall, and then enter your Product Key, and then– finally!– do the “Activate by Phone” method. For example, if you decide to replace your hard drive with something better– I like the Solid State Drives (SSDs) from Crucial-– you’ll be asked to activate Office 2011, and in that case, you’ll never be able to… because each installation of Office is “keyed” to the hardware it’s originally installed on, and that includes the hard drive, and the Activation ID and Confirmation ID will only work on that particular configuration. The reason for this could be that you’ve moved Office 2011 for the Mac to a new machine, or to a new hard drive, by cloning the drive. Apple does not allow any 32-bit applications to run on Mac OS Catalina and later, including Big Sur, so Office 2011 won't work. There’s a chance that things still won’t work. This seemed to stop the CPU throttling, however for some reason the GPU started throttling even though temperatures didn't exceed 65 degrees Celsius. That will get you started down the right path. I solved this with XTU, lowering the multipliers to 24 (leaving a max of 2.400Mhz) on the CPU and lowering allowed Watts to values around or below 20 for the Boost.

Make sure the checkbox is ticked for Teams. But it is also easily fixed: go to System Preferences/Security/Data: Teams needs access to Screen Recording (which basically is what you do, when you share a screen). Another option: call Microsoft’s general support number (1-80) and say “Office for Mac Activation Department” to the robot that answers. In my experience if you can’t share screen on Mac, it is due to Apple’s security defaults.
