Since I downloaded SuperDrive Update 2.1 and ran it (on my MacBook Pro), whenever I restart my Mac, it still launches, telling me there are no devices requiring the firmware update. I know this, because I already updated it!

What the SuperDrive update doesn’t let me know is how to stop it from opening each time I restart my Mac. So, I hunt and pecked and found the answer. If you’re having the same issue, read on…

Removing SuperDrive Update 2.1 from a Mac’s startup sequence is easy:

1. Go to > System Preferences…
2. Under the System header, click the “Accounts” option
3. Select the “Login Items” tab
4. Select the SuperDrive Update 2.1 Application (so it is highlighted-not the textbox-just click on the name of the application so it is highlighted)
5. Click the ” - ” button to delete the application from your startup sequence
6. Close the Accounts window

That’s it - you should no longer be prompted by the firmware updater at startup.
