Win 7 in Bootcamp multiple updates, Apple drivers lost?

I have a mid April 2010 MacBookPro that i have been running Windows 7 in Bootcamp & usually accessing via Parallels 5 which uses Bootcamp as a virtual machine. & running Snow Leopard
I really don't need Windows much any more, but decided I want to keep it accessible via Parallels & I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Parallels 5 is incompatible w Mountain Lion so taking advantage of Parallels 5 to 8 upgrade offer.
So realized I'd better do some prep before all the installation & realized that I hadn't kept Windows updated--just Security Essentials. It was showing outstanding updates going back to Dec 2011. So I downloaded & installed all those. At one point I was prompted about a driver & told Windows to fix & it did--sort of.
I also had where Windows wouldn't boot during the process, but I think part of it was that it hadn't finished w installing the updates. After I shutdown it did work.
I also then went & updated Bootcamp which I had avoided doing thinking it could have been the reason for major blue screen problems in 2011.
But I'm wondering if it has lost the Apple drivers. The track pad is not working well. Not sure if it is just setting the speed (which I'm not sure where to set since I use it so infrequently) or whether the drivers got messed up.
I'm planning to shortly boot into bootcamp & run a Windows back up. (Time Machine is regularly backing up Mac side)
After that, I plan to read & follow the update procedures from Parallels to get ver 8 installed & set up which I'm hoping will go smoothly.
& then I plan to install Mountain Lion which I have downloaded. & will have to figure out how to set up the new Cloud features, etc. May set One to One for help rather than struggling on my own.
Does erratic track pad response in Windows indicate a problem w Apple drivers? I don't know why they would have gotten messed up unless it was the fact of not keeping Windows & Bootcamp updated until now doing them all at once--well Bootcamp after all the Windows updates.

Now it has gotten worse. I wish I had documented what I had done, but I think it was after I ran some addtional updates. Can't remember if it was the Office updates or the addtional Win7 updates.
But now besides the error message when I try to open my virtual machine in Parallels (which I got both before & after running Bootcamp updates), now 2x at least it did not boot into bootcamp but instead showed that there were problems & the fix screen came up. Again.
I did manage to run the Windows backup on my new WD Passport partitioned back up drive w about 50 GB formatted for Windows & the rest of it for Mac so I can use it w Time Machine.
It backed up files in libaries & personal folders for all users 1.86 GB
But I'm hesitant to go ahead & upgrade Parallels 5 to 8 w the purchased update to download & run as well as doing the upgrade Mountain Lion. It does not seem wise to install new or additional software on top of an unstable Windows/Bootcamp set up.
So wondering my options. I'm guessing that the solution to an unstable Windows OS would be to reinstall it as a clean install. But then the normal thing to do would be to run the updates which took a long time the other day & then messed things up so the track pad wasn't tracking well. Before later causing it to crash.
Just got word from Parallels suggesting a claen install into Bootcamp.
But also considering just installing it as a new virtual machine in Parallels & dispensing w Bootcamp.
I hope this makes some sense. I'm very tired but want to put these questions out there so when I get back to it, hopefully there will be some suggestions/recommendations.
Thanks.

Windows 8 crashes after installing Apple drivers

Due to an electrical storm, I had a 2 partition drive fail. The Mac partition was corrupted, the Windows 8 (via BootCamp) install was fine. However, I couldn't reformat (or even mount) OS X so decided to reinstall both OSes on their own physical drives within a Mac Pro. Mountain Lion restored from a Time Machine backup and I got Windows 8 up and running, via BootCamp, on the other drive. All seemed well until I went to install the Apple drivers/software where upon my restart from the install I got the BSoD. No matter what I do or how many times I restart, it continuously crashes. Curiously, two randomly spouted errors are offered...
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
and
IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The problem seems to be with the Apple drivers. I used the updated BootCamp 5 software. However, I also used BootCamp 4 software after restoring Windows 8 to a clean install, that set of drivers doing exactly what BC5 did. I've stripped my settings back down to initial install, even reformatted the physical drive, re-partitioned via BootCamp and reinstalled Win8. While working correctly, I set up my account, redownloaded apps I installed from Windows Store, restarted to finish those installations; still, the only issue seems to be when I install the Apple offered drivers. I would just not use them but with many of my peripherals being Apple products it's more of a hassle than I care to deal with. And, I had it all working before with no problem. What's wrong this time? Below I list some concerns...
Is there any difference between installing a BootCamp/Win8 partition on a startup drive or another internal harddrive? Once, BootCamp had to be installed on the startup disk.
Is there any way to install just certain drivers from Apple's software pack since best I can find from MS's site is that the errors seem to be one or two driver incompatibilities?
I've installed Win8 updates prior to and after running Apple's software... would this affect the installation of that software either way or system integrity in Win8?
The above are the only two error messages I've seen. Why do they alternate? Is there more than one issue needing to be addressed?
It all worked before, could it be the software offered now? I've tried BootCamp 4, 5; should I try a lower numbered driver set?

My apologies for not following up on this topic.
Yes, I found a fix for my issue. It involved the Time Machine backup drive I had installed.
I reinstalled OS X and Win 8 onto the same drive and experimented pulling drives out of the Mac Pro. However, I never removed the Time Machine drive alone, only took the three extra drives out at the same time so I did not which one was causing the crash. It didn't seem to matter which bay it was in, it was the backup itself that Win 8 didn't work with. My Time Machine backup goes back for over a year so I wasn't interested in starting all over so I removed it from the Mac and installed it in an external enclosure. HOWEVER, if this drive is connected and on while booting up in Win 8 the OS will still crash. Within the Mac, it was impossible to keep the backup from mounting. In the external, I have to remember to disconnect when I switch OSes. Not a fix really, but a solid workaround.
If someone wanted to set up a new backup perhaps that would fix the issue completely. Perhaps it's because OS X/startup disk was restored from the backup and the backup have the same data, maybe it's an issue with data on the backup disk and Windows 8. I don't know. But several times, while switching the OSes I have forgotten to disconnect the now external backup and Win 8 crashes; if I remember to disconnect no issues at all.

Update Apple Drivers from Microsoft, etc.

Hi all. I was wondering if it is ok to update the default apple drivers for the graphics card to newer ones by Microsoft (Windows Update) or ATI/nVidia. Does it create any problems that I should be aware of? Thanks.

I had a similar problem. I originally had an iMac running Leopard and an HP C4280 all-in-one printer with the HP software loaded. All was fine until I installed Mavericks in 2013 at which time I was unable to save scans using the HP Scan software. I used an "Image Capture" work-around for about a year. Sometime after I installed Yosemite in the fall of 2014, that problem with "HP Scan" disappeared. Then a month ago, I bought a Mac Pro and migrated everything from my iMac to my new Mac Pro. Then found I couldn't scan. I would get a message very similar to the one displayed at the top of this discussion. After a lot of messing around I found that Apple's "Migration Assistant.app" had failed to migrate (copy) over everything in the following directories:
/Library/Printers/hp
/Library/Image Capture/Support/Hewlett-Packard/
I still had my iMac, so I manually used rsync to copy over everything in those directories. Probably could have done it also from the GUI, just copying and pasting. Anyway, now HP Scan works and all is well.
I think Apple and HP have just decided not to support the HP Scan software anymore and to just go with the drivers and Apple's software. I don't know if it's just that I'm used to HP Scan or not, but I find it a lot easier and more convenient to use, especially with my Acrobat Pro.

How Do I Install Apple Drivers For Windows XP?

Okay, so I have a 15 inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro that is running OS X Mavericks. After many attempts, I managed to install Windows XP 32 bit as a secondary operating system on the HDD using Disk Utility. The only devices that Windows XP recognised upon the installation were the keyboard and the trackpad. I then inserted a Snow Leopard disc to install the Apple Drivers for Windows XP and it appeared as though the drivers got installed(the Boot Camp icon appeared on the taskbar next to the digital clock). However, when I restarted windows, none of the devices other than the keyboard and the trackpad worked. Does this imply that the drivers didn't get installed? If so, why is this and how can I install the drivers? If the drivers did get installed, why aren't the devices working? Please help me out, if possible. Thanks in advance.

It does not work because you are running Mavericks and trying to use non-Mavericks drivers for an operating system (XP) that is not support on your hardware or your operating system.

You will have to do the update manually for the app store version. Instructions are here:

How to report Apple a problem in software by e-mail?

How to report Apple a problem in software by e-mail? For example I got a problem: new version of iTunes 11.1.1 is not running at all! (uninstalled old one first) When I try to launch itunes from my laptop desktop I get this box Win7 64. I don't want to open any system files, just wish that Apple will make a program which work. Apple please!
"The file itunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" and it not run at all!!

Hi Nick.
If you open a free Apple Developer account you can use the bug reporter tool. However if you want to file a bug report you need to tightly identify a reproducible fault, detail the conditions in which it arises and ideally supply any workaround you have discovered.
In other circumstances iTunes Feedback is probably the appropriate channel. Common problems should gain attention.
Apple don't provide free technical support for iTunes. The inital point of entry for online assistance is iTunes Support. If none of the online resources help then depending on the nature of the problem, or whether you qualify through a recent purchase, or you are prepared to pay, you may be able to make use of the Contact iTunes Support service. Failing that Apple Support Communities (here) is where users share solutions with each other.

This is a user-to-user support site not a place to reach techs. You can make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and see if you can do an out-of-warranty replacement or you can use a 3rd party repair site.

I switched from Windows Vista (preinstalled) to Windows XP Pro SERVICE PACK 2, but I got a few drivers problems:
1. USB-ROOT-DRIVERS cannot be installed.
Yep this doesn't work. Can't use any USB-Stick and stuff. I installed all drivers from the download page for my Notebook and Win XP for sure.
2. Mass Storage Drivers cant be installed:
Errormassage:
"This Computer doesn't have the Requirements to install this Software (translated)"
3. No WLAN Drivers from the Driver page work :(
Thanks for now. Would be nice to get some help.

> Installed Win XP without SATA drivers, but changed the SATA value in the BIOS to compatibility! Can I update the SATA drivers now? (xp is installed)
No you cannot install the SATA drivers now because the HDD doesnt run in SATA mode. You changed it in BIOS to compatibility!
And now; if you would change the mode to SATA then you will get a BSOD and you will have to install XP again. So if SATA is set to compatibility mode -> you dont need to install the SATA drivers
> There is no WLan hardware found. Nothing :/
Check this Toshiba WLan page;

Maybe one of the available WLan drivers will help you

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

The Apple drivers that are downloaded for my HP printers do not allow me to modify the settings as I could when I was running a pc.

The Apple drivers that are downloaded for my HP printers do not allow me to modify the settings as I could when I was running a pc. Is there someway to get a printer driver that will permit full access to printer settings?

Perhaps you don't have the correct driver selected.
Try to Add it again, but instead of Auto-Select, choose Select Printer Software, then make sure you have the correct printer selected.
If the driver you have says "Gutenprint" then that isn't the HP driver and might not have all the features.
If you have the correct driver, the only thing you can do is contact HP and ask them to add the features.

Virgin email via Apple Mail problem

Hi - The search facility is temporarily down on this site, so I thought I'd post this to see if others have the same problem or there's a solution.
I'm in the UK and Virgin Media are my provider. I have a primary POP email account with them and a number of aliases within that account. But just recently two of my accounts have 'gone down', i.e. they are greyed out on the left menu.
I can still send from the accounts, but cannot receive. I can also log onto web mail without any issues, but mail is simply not downloading to Mail on my desktop. If I delete an account and set it up from scratch, it's fine again... but the problem re-occurs after a week or so.
I have spoken to Virgin support a couple of times and on the last occasion they have said there is nothing obviously wrong at their server end and it must be an Apple Mail problem... most frustrating!
Any clues anyone?

After a recommendation from support at Virgin, I had to close down the accounts and set them up again. Unfortunately they didn't warn me that I would lose all of my email!!!

Apple drivers installed...they no longer run...

hi,
i installed the apple drivers from boot camp when i installed windows on my computer months ago. Now however they do not load. did i change a setting or something?
I have both reinstalled and repaired the drivers themselves but they still do not work (eject button/volume button..etc) the diamond that loads in the windows toolbar never shows up and i need the "Restart in Mac OSX" option.
is there an update or something? the wireless networking card also does no longer work in windows....
any help is appreciated

Computer hard drive Properties, schedule a chkdsk on next startup or use your Windows XP to do System Repair.
When you are in Windows, open the Command (terminal) as admin and run system file checker *sfc /scannow* - it will properly report errors.
Backup with WinClone once it is fixed (better to have a restore image when it is working obviously).

New HP printer drivers problem with C4280

Hello, I have a HP C4280 all in one printer which all worked fine with the CD drivers which came with the printer. Yesterday the Apple software update showed new HP drivers. After installing the new drivers a HP Setup assistant box come up and it is apparently looking for a printer to setup and it could not find one. The printer does work however but now I lost the feature of being able to scan something by pressing the scan button on the printer and that automatically launching the client HP program on the screen etc. I see a USB error on the printer.
I tried rebooting and the same HP setup assistant utility showed up again but could not find my printer.
So I tried to un install the HP drivers using their program to do so from the HP utility folder. It did uninstall everything but the HP setup assistance program still come up. I tried installing my old drivers from the CD and it now has the same problem .
I believe this HP setup program did not get un installed.
I would like to just get back to where I was working with the old drivers if I can find out out to remove everything related to this new HP driver install. I would then re install from my CD.
13" new MB, 2 gig memory running OS 10.5.6.
Your help is appreciated!

Just in case someone else is having this problem here is what I did which seems to have solved the problem.
1) remove the USB cable to the printer.
2) remove the printer profile from the Print & Fax section of Preferences.
3) Download the HP driver pkg from the Apple download driver section.
Run the installer and follow the directions. It will instruct you when to plug the USB cable back in.
This is what worked for me.
