Boot camp 3.1 update keeps returning in apple software update

On my 12" MacBook, I have installed the Boot Camp 3.1 update. When I open the Apple boot camp control panel and click About, it says 3.1. However, every time I open Apple software update, the 274MB Boot Camp 3.1 update is always there, even if I reinstall it again and again. What could be causing this?

Ok, so I installed drivers from the system restore disks that came with my laptop, and the error message changed, still doesn't work, but progress is good, right?
Now it says:
"The installed product does not match the installation source(s). Until a matching source is provided or the installed product and source are synchronized, this action can not be performed.
Contact your administrator or product vendor for assistance. If there is a matching installation source, type it below or click Browse to locate it"
Now, what on earth does that mean? In the test box, the default path is "C:\ProgramData\Apple\Installer Cache\Boot Camp 3.0.0\", which doesn't exist on my computer. When I click "browse" it lets me look for a .msi file, which I cannot find and do not know where to look for.
If I click OK, another error pops up saying:
"The file 'D:\Boot Camo\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi' is not a valid installtion package for the product Boot Camp Services. Try to find the installtion package 'BootCamp.msi' in a folder from which you can install Boot Camp Services"
Please, please, please, if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, Iwould be very obliged. Thanks again in advance!

  • I'm not able to download Itunes.  I keep getting this Apple Software Update message that states "There is a problem with this Windows installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your package vendor"

    Not able to access Itunes store anymore.  Just quit working for no reason.  I've tried deleting Itunes and related components from the Control Panel, but when I try to remove Apple Software Update, I get a message that states "There is a problem with this Windows installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor".  Not sure what this message means.  Am I suppose to contact Apple ?  What is meant by package vendor ?

    Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm.  So will have to wait

  • Same updates repeatedly offered by Apple Software Update in Windows 7

    Apple Software Update constantly offers installed updates unless I tell it to ignore them.
    Windows 7 SP1 x64
    Apple Software Update v2.1.3

    After a month of waiting & having same problem as you, today when I turned on my computer an Apple Software Update appeared right on my desktop telling me to download the new update.  I did & it downloaded just fine.  I assume it should be coming to your computer soon also.
    Yeah ... it's a bit "patchy" though, Sassy. It can come right for some people and yet not for others ... and there's been a few reports in some of the bigger threads of it coming right for some folks and then going silly again (for the same folks).
    A good rule of thumb with this one is that if you do get a "window" where ASU seems to work fine, get as many updates done as you can (just in case the window closes again).

  • Will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit version of iTunes

    On 64 bit Windows 7, will Apple Software Update update a 64 bit installation of iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support to a new 64 bit version of the software when a new version comes out or will it try to install pure 32 bit versions of the software when I use Apple Software Update.
    Basically, is Apple Software Update smart enough to realize that the version of Windows 7 I am using is 64 bit and that I used the 64 bit package to install iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Mobile Support, etc originally. I know that the software is not entirely 64 bit, but I would like to keep the parts that are.
    Thanks.

    The answer is "yes, ASU does download the 64-bit stuff on a 64-bit PC".
    I uninstalled iTunes, BonJour and Apple Mobile Device Support (all of which have at least some 64-bit componentry) on the 64-bit Vista system. Did an "iTunes + QuickTime 9.0.3" install via ASU. The 64-bit pieces were all in place after the ASU update. (AMDS program files, iTunes miniplayer stuff, iPod Service Module, 64-bit BonJour namespace provider, and so forth.)

  • Apple Software Update for Windows (2.1) has an invalid signature

    When I run ASU and it wants to install ASU 2.1 I get the error that it has an invalid signature. It was suggested to use Tools and first download it and then install it, but I manage 350 computers and am trying to automate some of this.
    Does any one have a suggestion?
    I wonder if Apple will issue a patch, or if there is some amiss with my current ASU.

    Thanks for the replies, but what I am hoping for is a solution.
    Even though I asked, you never said if you have an ASU 2.0.0.21 ... so this solution runs the risk of being irrelevant to your situation. (It applies to the issue of ASU 2.0.0.21 on an XP PC returning an "invalid signature" message when trying to download an ASU 2.1.0.101.)
    If that's what you've got here, then usually a software installer bundle from Apple which contains a higher version of ASU than the 2.0.0.21 will install on the PC in question.
    (Avoid using the BonJour for Windows 1.0.4 standalone installer just at the moment, as a precaution. Last time I checked, about 20 minutes ago, that still contained an ASU 2.0.0.21, and that won't get you any further forward than you currently are ... assuming that you've currently got an ASU 2.0.0.21 in place.)
    So download and install another Apple installer bundle. Here's a link through to the QuickTime Standalone installer, although the Safari for Windows or iTunes installer would also work:
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    That should, as part of the install, update your ASU to version 2.1.0.101. To check on that, launch ASU ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"), go "Help > About Apple Software Update" and check the version number. If you're now at ASU 2.1.0.101, you're past the problem with ASU 2.0.0.21 returning an 'Invalid signature" message when trying to install an ASU 2.1.0.101 (assuming that's the particular problem you were actually experiencing).
    You can then uninstall QuickTime for Windows (or Safari for Windows, or iTunes and QuickTime and Apple Mobile Device Support, depending on what installer you used to update your ASU version) through your Add/Remove programs control panel.

  • Upgrade to I-Tunes 7.4.2 with Apple Software Update for Windows

    I upgraded to I-Tunes 7.4.2 and that went great. But I was also offered an Apple Software Update for Windows which would not install. The error message said something about a part of it not being able to run. Is this a Vista thing? I still have Windows XP and don't plan to change to Vista. Will I have issues with newer versions of I-Tunes if I can't get this Software Update for Windows to install?
    Thanks!

  • "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature & will not ...

    I am trying to update my iTunes on my PC and I keep getting this message after I click the button to install the update...
    "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature and will not install
    Anyone has a solution for this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated...oh and by the way, my iPod is not connected when I am trying to update.
    Thanks

    I am trying to update my iTunes on my PC and I keep getting this message after I click the button to install the update ... "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature and will not install
    Okay. Rather than using Apple Software Update, let's try updating your iTunes using an installer downloaded from the following location:
    Latest iTunes Installer
    Does the install using the iTunesSetup.exe from there go through any better? If not, what error message do you get from that?

  • Cannot replace older version of Apple Software Update

    When attemting to update I-Tunes, the Apple Software Update application launches and the installation fails with the above message. What can I do?

    +I have tried to uninstall Apple Software update but it said "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"+
    Thank you kindly.
    Download and Install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Run the utility, find "Apple Software Update" in the list of programs in CleanUp, select the "Apple Software Update" entry, and click "Remove".
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the Apple Software Update folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    Restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now we've got the old version of ASU scraped away?

  • Apple Software Update for Windows will not download and update

    When Apple Software Update for windows comes up, I select the items to update, I accept the eula, the bottom half of the window rolls up and rolls back down and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Apple Software Update. If I download the updated individually (outside of Apple Software Update) they work fine

    Try checking the rules in your firewall software. Is Apple Software Update being allowed full access to the internet?

  • Apple Software Update Blank List Issue

    Hello,
    I am experiencing a wide-spread issue with apple software update on windows. In an attempt to update itunes and quicktime, apple software update is run but comes up with a blank list (see figure 1). This has happened on 3 machines that were freshly imaged (with an older version of itunes), and 5 machines that have been in use for months/years. Operating systems include windows vista, 7 and 8 Release Preview; they all have varying internal specifications.Some computers are x32 others are x64. I have also had a friend who is outside of the network system the other mentioned computers are in, in an attempt to use software update. He came across the same results. Also as a note, the current versions of itunes that are being targeted to be updated range from 10.5 to 10.6.1.7.
    I have attempted running a repair on apple software update on one machine, with no change.
    Has anyone else experience this issue? I see one other similar discussion post at the moment found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18688827#18688827
    But no where else am I seeing mention of issues of this sort.
    Thanks for any input!

    I FIXED IT!! I can't believe it . I actually figured out how to make it work(well sort of). My Apple Software Updater now works (almost) perfectly and I just successfully downloaded and installed itunes 10.6.3.25 through it!!!
    Ok , the way I see it, either the latest itunes update or the recent Windows Patch Tuesday on June 12th, 2012 must have inadvertently removed the Administrative Rights from the Apple Software Update Tool .lnk file.
    So you must go to where the file resides on your hard drive - for me that was C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Right click on the Apple software Tool icon and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab. At the bottom of this tab click on "change settings for all users" and hit Yes at the UAC pop-up. Now make sure you place a check in the "Run this program as Administrator" under the Privilege level section at the bottom. Hit Apply and then OK. The hit Ok again to get off the properties pop-up.
    When I went back and clicked on the Apple Software Update shortcut, I got a UAC pop-up asking me if I wanted to proceed(something I had always, in the past, gotten but haven't since this problem started). The Apple Software Update tool came up and to my suprise the progress bar STAYED and started to slowly fill up partially with the green progress bar. Viola, the itunes 10.6.3 update showed up on the top part of the screen as a new update needing to be installed - the bottom screen, as usual, had the changelog info for the 10.6.3 update. I clicked on install and , again, Viola. the update downloaded and installed flawlessly. I had to reboot my computer and when it restarted, itunes was working perfectly and it was correctly showing as itunes v10.6.3.25.
    I say it is almost or sort of fixed because when you click on the Apple Software Update shortcut after the 10.6.3 install it goes back to doing the same thing it did before(i.e. processing for a second and then saying there are new updates but showing a blank field). Maybe this is the way the software now looks if there are no updates available to install - maybe Apple is working on this to eventually get it back to normal. All I know is the process I outlined above worked for me(at least to get the ASU to recognize and properly download and install itunes 10.6.3). It's certainly not perfect, but it worked. Please try this method and let me know what results you have with it. Good luck.

  • Apple Software Update with HP drivers

    Anyone get the new "Apple" HP drivers in Apple software update over the weekend? My HP C7180 (or 7100 series as it reads) did not show up in the list of printers in the setup utility until this update. Strange update too! As indicated my iMac turned itself off after the update and then did a fresh restart.
    Still can't figure out how to fax from a software application, but I can now print fine wirelessly.
    HP users try a software update, NOT HP, just Apple software update and see if this helps you.

    Hi John,
    Pre Leopard I was able to fax from an application wirelessly (same as print) to my 7100 series Photosmart. I was able choose PhotoSmart C7100 series print (9152F) to print or C7100 series 192.x.x.x Fax to fax anything from any application. The fax driver was not completely compatible with 10.4.10 as alot of the items in the print/fax dialogue were there but not visible... looked as if it were corrupted, but it worked after you added fax recipients. I like this feature as this printer has no document feeder for faxes, so they have to be sent a page at a time which is a pain.
    I still have a PhotoSmart C7100 Fax.app somewhere on my computer, but can't get it to show up in the setup utility fax/print when I try to add a printer. I've held off calling HP support as I doubt they would have a solution yet if ever. Grateful if you have any thoughts.
    Thanks,
    Carter
    Just opened up Print and Fax on my MacBook 10.4.10 and the options are for "printing/faxing/sharing" These are not available in Leopard. Under options in Leopard, it's just "general/driver/supply levels"

  • Why two QuickTimes with Apple Software Update in Vista under Boot Camp?

    Running Apple software update in BootCamped Vista, I see selection for 1) QuickTime, 2) Safari, 3) iTunes & QuickTime.
    Items 1) and 3) are by default checked for download. Why would I want to download QuickTime twice??

    Hi!
    Funny you should mention that! Same thing happened to me yesterday, I was downloading Boot camp 2.1 and there were the other three downloads you mentioned. I downloaded them anyway. I now have Safari 3.2.1 (etc.) on my Windows partition. Why did I do that ? To be frank I do not know!! Now you have all three on the Windows partition.

  • Boot Camp 2.1 & Apple Software Update 2.1 both included on OSX 10.5.4 DVDs

    This was a question I posed before and since getting a new white Macbook that came with OSX 10.5.4, I can finally answer.
    There is a small update to Apple Software Update 2.1.1 that is out there, but at least I no longer have to install the old 2.0 versions of both pieces of software, only to have to download, install and reboot for 2.1.
    SH

    I saw exactly the same issues (Error 2869 and 2755) when attempting to install drivers from the OSX install disk after installing Windows XP Professional SP2.
    I ran sfc /scannow and chkdisk. chkdisk identified many date problems. I corrected the date and time on my 15" MacBook Pro unibody, and re-ran chkdisk until there were no errors.
    Mac drivers then installed with no issues.

    If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
    If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
