10.6.8 Update - No USB Support - Help!

Early 2008 MBP under warranty for another 34 days. Nothing interesting installed beyond usual Mac, MS and Adobe software. Occassionally run Parallels 6, but not today and not recently.
At 9:00 was offered the auto update to 10.6.8. Closed open apps and let the MBP do its thing.
On reboot the usual screen came up but there was no trackpad or keyboard support. Was able to use a bluetooth mouse and all apps opened but still unable to type anything or use the trackpad mouse. Also noted that there was no USB support for an external drive, or keyboard (or I would have tried to roll back to 10.6.7 with Time Machine.
Rebooted multiple times with the same outcome.
Spoke to Apple and they had no suggestions except to get warranty help. Well that's 50 miles away (service provider, not an Apple store). Any suggestions to save me two trips (there and back to deliver and pick it up)?

I have a early 2008 macbookpro 2.8 duel with silver keys.
I purchaed the 10.6 disk from the apple store. I've had the machine for years and purchased it refurbished from apple.
I did the erase and install and migrated everything over from external drive, then did update to 10.6.8 and the usb ports still would stop working after a few hours.. Then I read on another apple community forus to reset pram, and pull out the power cable, take out the battery and hold power key for 5 seconds, then restart. that seemed to fix usb issue so far..
But overall my computer seems to be running slower then when using just 10.5.8 and it did not wake from sleep once and I had to force power off and restart.. But maybe its just getting used to 10.6.8. we will see..
Also, on another note, my battery is totally dead, and I can only run computer with power cable.. Will this affect things? it never did with 10.5.8..
Oh, on my erase and install, I just did the simplest version and did not do the full erase to zero using he advanced security measures.. I just did the one where it writes on top of everything..

FileVault2 & no supported helper partition to update

While a workaround for a problem I had fixed the issue, the root cause remains.
I am using FileVault2 full disk encryption. It seems on my system the kernelcache never gets updated after the drive has been encrypted with FileVault. To be exact: The kernelcache on the helper partition 'Recovery HD' never gets updated. The kernelcache in
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache
gets updated correctly. What's missing is the part to transfer an updated kernelcache to the helper partition. The last lines of output from
kextcache -v 6 -update-volume /
are
Created prelinked kernel //System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache.
CSFDE property cache does not need update.
/: no supported helper partitions to update.
So the kernel cache in the encrypted '/' partition is updated, but since there are 'no supported helper partitions to update', the new kernelcache is not copied to the location which is used during boot. At boot, the kernelcache from the helper partition is loaded. Its location is
/Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.boot.S/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelc ache
For some reason the helper partition does not seem to be associated with my encrypted root partition. Does anyone know how to associate my helper partition with the encrypted root partition again?
Here is some background about my system and how I installed it:
My Mac has one internal disk. I use it for Time Machine backups only. It is not possible to boot from the internal disk. My system disk is an external SSD connected via USB 3.0.
I installed the system disk by holding CMD-r during boot to get the Mac into Recovery Mode. With Disk Utility I erased the SSD completely, left Disk Utility and installed OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3. When the installation was finished, I created a temporary admin user and used Migration Assistent to migrate all User accounts and programs from a backup. Then I logged into my user account which Migration Assistent had created, deleted the temporary admin user and activated File Vault. Later, I installed an upgrade for a program that uses a kernel extension. After every boot I got the message, the version of the kernel extension did not match the version of the program. While everything in the encrypted '/' partition had been updated correctly, the kernelcache on the Recovery HD had not. While I can copy the kernelcache to the helper partition manually, I think this a hack and it should happen automatically when the kernelcache is updated in the '/' partition. I am not aware having done somthing that could make Mac OS X loose the association between the '/' partition and the Recovery partition.

Yuo can't "undo" the update. Bose support may be your best bet.

I recently update my iphone 5 and had lots of problems. Apple support helped but now I see that none of my music is downloaded. Do I have to download each song/playlist individually?

I recently update my iphone 5 and had lots of problems. Apple support helped but now I see that none of my music is downloaded. Do I have to download each song/playlist individually?

Updated the phone to IOS 7.1.1 but there was a problem with my computer. Everything was removed from the phone but I couldn't get it back without help. The tech helped me and everything is fine now except the music. I did sync it and backed it up but wonder if I should restore backup. I'm a little nervous to try that, what do you think.

I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help. Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

Typing the body of the thread message in the title, huh? -)

Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out. --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

I am 70 Years old and worked very happy with my iMac (21,5“ mid 2010, 3,2 GHz Intel Core 3)
until I updated him from SnowLeopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2.
2 Days all was OK. Next Morning-Start he needs (until now) 3 minutes to show me a SCREEN only milky white. After that he starts like ever with all ICONS in about 1 minute. (together 4 min.)
..But I must notice, that I cannot make anything, because the „BLUETOOTH APPLE WIRELESS KEYBOARD and the APPLE MAGIC MOUSE“ doesn't work anything like before.
I could nothing do, I must drop my APPLE only out.
That I maked ever 10x and all was the same... (Maveriks also 4x new updated)
I taked my Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse from the WIN-Laptop, dropped it in USB from iMAC...and in one second I could work only with this MOUSE...I buyd the Logitech COMBO K520 and all was OK now with my lovely APPLE iMAC to work with him...But without APPLE KEYBOARD and MAGIC MOUSE...and with a 4 min. -START until now.
I asked the EXPERTS from APPLE-SUPPORT under Tel. 0800-6645451 in Germany, became a Number, maked many Things by starting new, but the mistake after all is the same like before.
When I look into ...Apple/ Info/System/ Hardware/ Bluetooth ..my APPLE says: NO INFOs FOUND (Es wurden keine Informationen gefunden.)

IPhoto 9.5.1 crashes since OS X v10.7 Lion Update... HELP!!!

iPhoto 9.5.1 crashes since OS X v10.7 Lion Update... HELP!!!
So here's my story...
Last week I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, like every MAC enthusiast. After my successful install I check the system for any Software Updates, results iPhoto 9.5.1. I downloaded in installed it. Since then, everytime I try to open iPhoto it crashes. Everything else seems to me working fine.
I've tried everything I could think of as well as many of the suggestions found on the Support Fourm. Still to no avail
I'm posting this message in hopes that someone has had the same issue and can guide me through how to fix it. I'm technically savvy and hate it when the computer wins!!!
Thank you very much in advance.

Long story short... Installed, Reinstalled and Uninstalled iPhoto. Everything from versions 8.0 to 9.5.1.
None work... v8.0+ says need a newer version, v 9.5.1 just crashes at startup.
And obviously all the basics of booting, rebooting and all that good stuff. At the moment, the app is back at its initial state were the problem began 9.5.1.
Don't know if this helps, but here is the report that pops up when it crashes:

Need Chipset Driver for USB support

Hi.
This Windows XP-SP3 PC has 4xUSB2 or 2xUSB3 on-board ports, and all have failed. All USB devices are yellow-flagged in device manager.
I have run SFC \SCANNOW and it runs to completion, and I have tried right-clicking on a yellow-flagged USB entry in Device Manager and selecting Update Driver, but that only results in the following dialog:
Cannot Install This Hardware
There was a problem installing this hardware:
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
An error occurred during the installation of the device:
The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry. This may be because the INF file was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor stop
It has been suggested to me that I should try to obtain the Chipset Driver for USB support. Running Speccy reveals the following about the mainboard:

Camera firmware update via USB thru ImageBrowser EX?

Hello everyone!
I recently made my first ever Canon camera in the history of the universe (Powershot SX280 HS) and it's amazing.
I have a question, though, about firmware updates.
When I launch ImageBrowser EX, and click on the button to "update to latest version" with my camera connected to my computer via USB, does this update the firmware too? Or does this only update ImageBrowser EX?
I understand that updating the firmware requires me to download a file from my product's support page and manually installing it using a memory card. But I was wondering if updating through USB is also possible.
Thoughts?
Thanks for reading this message.

I am pretty sure you have to do it the way Canon tells you to in its documentation on the support page for the 280, i.e. copying the firmware file to a card in a card reader. There is no mention of ImageBrowser in the documentation. Updating via ImageBrowser is probably just for the browser software on your computer. Most things can be done via USB but updating firmware is usually a pretty rare thing except for this particular model camera which has seen two updates so far and I wish would see another (since I too am verging on returning it to the store before my 30 days are up, the day after I get home from vacation). The issues improved with the updates but are still there (see very long thread about battery issues in this forum).
Powershots: A80, SD1300is, SX280 (returned)

I actually published an interactive Arabic textbook with iBooks Author - there were a lot of annoying formatting bugs, and more of it was in english than Arabic, as it was for beginners. I submitted it to see how much interest there was for doing more in Arabic, but I haven't had much demand so far.
