You need to go to Apple's web site under support>download and type in Firmware. You will get a list of firmwares. You have to check them over and download the ones you need for your computer model.
Once downloaded, quit all programs and install. Once installed, you will need to restart the computer.

Okay. I downloaded version 1.2 which I asume is very old. I had to start classic to run it. So I went and found another version. But it says I need to boot into classic to run version 4.1.9. I don't understand why. Wouldn't Apple make their updates OS X native? Help me please.

Save the download to the hard drive but not in any folder. Now go to the System Preferences (light switch) and select Startup Drive. Select OS 9 and then click on the restart button.
Now install the firmware. The computer will need to be restarted in OS 9. When done, go to the Apple Menu>Control panels>Start up Disk. Select OS X and then click on restart.

Or hold the X key as soon as you turn on your computer to boot into OS X. So far, no option for regressing, though I heard it might be in Panther.

Does compressed air help clean the drive or does this require taking the iMac apart?
