Boot Camp Update 2.1: plain text file?

Hi,
in order to install the Service Pack 3 in my Windows XP partition, Apple recommends to upgrade the Boot Camp to version 2.1.
I downloaded the BCUpdateXP.exe but it is label by Mac as "plain text" file, so I'm not able to run it and I don't know how to install the upgrade.
What should I do?
Thanks!

Can you confirm with us that you have Boot Camp version 2.0 installed currently? This is because boot camp version 2.1 will ONLY install on if the previous version (2.0) is already installed.
If your current version is not 2.0 then please insert the leopard installation disk in your CD/DVD drive while booted into Windows. This will begin installation of the 2.0 boot camp drivers. Reboot once completed. After that you can install the boot camp 2.1 drivers and it should install and complete.

  • Boot Camp Update failure

    Hello good people, hopefully someone can help.
    Issue: Boot Camp Update 2.1 failing to install.
    I recently did an erase and install on my MacBook. I have run through the steps provided by the installation guide (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/). I then went to the Apple Software Update program within Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit), selected Boot Camp Update and selected Install 1 item. I then selected Boot Camp Update Download Only from the Tools drop down menu. I then opened the Open Downloaded Updates Folder...selected the downloaded file and selected Apply. that procedure produced a system restart. Restared and tried again, same result.
    I have tried the above steps with security software enabled AND disabled.
    Does anyone have a step by step resource to sucessfully install Boot Camp Update 2.1?
    Thanks for reading, if you have any questions or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    Do you have 10.5.5 DVD or later? you may not need 2.1, and it was a two step update, first to update Apple Software Update itself to 2.x, then to update other components.
    Some programs like iTunes, Safari 4 beta and others include an Apple Software Update (and cannot be not installed, it gets installed regardless of choosing not to).
    Some problems can be related to default language settings.

  • How to load data in plain-text file into database by using EJB?

    Hi,
    We need to develop an on-line application which requires us to load input data

    oracle database. How could I use EJB to make it happen? it seems like using Entity

  • Boot Camp Update to 2.1 don't work

    Hello,
    I am new here. My MacBookPro runs now 2 years without problems.
    I upgrade my HDD to a 500 GB model and it works fine.
    The Windows Vista Business(now the English Version) don't accept the Boot Camp Update to Version 2.1.
    Before I have used the German Vista Business and it works fine.
    My Idea is, get the Boot Camp 2.1 from a new Installer DVD and install it. It should work. Or I wait until the Apple Update Service fix the problem.
    I don't know? Do I really need this update? I update the Nvidia Driver allready separatly to fix a problem with my second screen and it run well.

    Hmmm, please read carefully. It isn`t a problem with Boot Camp, I think.
    Please tell me, if I am fail.
    Boot Camp run perfectly on Vista 2.0 from my Leopard Installer DVD and 2.1 from the new Leopard DVD. I don't have one of the new DVD now, but a friend try it out allready. It run's. My question is, why I can't install Boot Camp 2.1 with Apple Software Update? In the German Version of Vista Business I don't have these problems. Why now with the English Version?
    Helpless...

  • Boot Camp Update from 1.4 (beta) on WinXP Pro

    I need some help. I have a 17" MBP core 2 duo running WinXP through Boot Camp 1.4 (beta). On the Mac side I use OSX(10.4xxx) - Tiger NOT Leopard.
    I would really appreciate it if someone could post a 1,2,3... list of how to update my Boot Camp version. Do I even need to do this? Will it make anything better on my computer?
    Also - the Boot Camp update is not showing up in the Apple Software Update (in Windows). I downloaded the Boot Camp update for XP and nothing happens when I try to open it. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Chris:
    Fortuny is right. You will need to have boot camp 2.0 installed before you get 2.1 installed. You have version 1.4. you must first update it to version 2.0. For that you will need the Leopard Installation Disk. I know you are running Tiger however if you happen to have a Leopard Installation disk then the solution posted [HERE|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1499769&tstart=0] will work for you.

  • Save results of javascript operation to a plain text file

    Hi,
    How do you save to a file using Acrobat javascript? Not a PDF file - I know how to do that - but to a plain text file.
    I have javascript that searches through a PDF document and generates some output. I can send the output to a Report (in PDF format, obviously) or to the console, but I can't see how to send it to a plain text file, which is what I need.
    Any assistance gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tim.

    Ah, great, yes that seems to do what I want.
    However, I get an error ...
    My code is as follows:
    function CreateOutput()
         // assembles text and puts it into the variable: output
         // e.g.:
         output = "Hello, world";
    var output = "";
    CreateOutput();
    this.createDataObject("testfile.txt", output);
    Unfortunately I get this error and I don't understand it!
    InvalidGetError: Get not possible, invalid or unknown.
    Doc.pageNum:6:Batch undefined:Exec
    Obviously I'm doing somethign wrong ... but what?
    Thanks very much,

  • PI removing blank spaces at the end of the lines in a plain text file

    Hi -
    I have an interface that transfers a file via FTP. I defined both the sender and receiver to transfer either Text or Binary but the interface removes every blank space I have after the last character. The file is a fixed lenght file.
    Example:
    Original file:
    Hello world(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(eol)
    where (space) is the space character and (eol) is the end of line char.
    File after it is received.
    Hello world(eol)
    I already defined the parameter Row.fieldFixedLenghts with 10164 which is the lenght of the lines of the file.
    Any ideas why it may be happening?
    Thanks,
    Carlos.

    Hi -
    I tried both the parameters:
    xml.fieldContentFormatting
    structure.fieldContentFormatting
    The received file still has the problem. All the blank spaces are cleared out.
    The file is a plain text file not an XML file. May this be the issue?
    Thanks,
    Carlos.

  • Are plain text files treated differently in SP 2010 than MOSS 2007?

    We just moved to SP 2010 a week ago.  A user just contacted us asking why the files she accesses are not displaying.
    When she accessed these plain text files in MOSS 2007, they displayed within IE as a full page of text.
    When she accesses these now in SP 2010, she is prompted to download the file.
    These files do not end in .txt - they are names such as 2013.09.20 or whatever.
    Is there a way to configure 2010 to display, without any interpretation, plain text files within the browser?
    Thank you.

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not access the txt files with browser after migrading to SharePoint 2010..
    Whether this issue occurred if you upload a new txt file to a library.
    In my testing, everything worked well. The Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature was acitve, and in the Library Settings->Advanced settings, ‘Use the server default(Open in the client application)’ was selected. When I clicked the file
    name, it promted a dialog like the below, I selected ‘Read-Only’, and clicked OK, the file could open with browser.
    Please go to IE->Tools->Internet Options->Programs->Manage add-ons, enable all add-ons related to SharePoint, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • [SOLVED] Thunar sees both '.doc' and '.txt' as plain text files...

    Hello,
    I'm using Thunar as my file manager. However, it sees both '.doc' and '.txt' files as "plain text files".
    This means that I can't make the .doc files open with OpenOffice and the .txt files open with a plaintext editor, because whenever I change the program association of one, the other changes.
    How to fix that? (looks like a MIME-type issue).
    Thanks.

    Finally it works. Thanks!

  • 'Plain text' files taking up 12gb

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me. I've recently been getting warnings that my start up disc is almost full. So I moved many photos and music files to an external HD and managed to free up 20gb.
    I then ran 'disc inventory' which showed that next to iTunes and movie files, 'plain text' files, 27,000 of them were taking up 12gb and 65,000 documents 11gb.
    Can someone please tell me where these files will be found on my mac as they need to be sorted - I've read that this could be a virus but what is the best way of combating this?
    There is no way I have this many files or documents and need to know how they are being stored!
    Thanks everyone

  • TextEdit - Plain Text Files That Open In Windows?

    Hi. Just got an iMac. I've been trying to make plain text files in TextEdit that show up correctly in Windows on a PC. I've tried saving the same document in 4 different formats:
    - Plan Text Unicode (UTF-8)
    - Plain Text Unicode (UTF-16)
    - Plain Text Western (Mac OS Roman)
    - Plain Text Western (Windows Latin 1)
    But none of these look right on a PC. All of the line breaks I've entered show up replaced by black rectangles. Why is this?
    What format should I save as in TextEdit, to create Plain Text files that are compatible with both PC and Macs?

    First, note that TextEdit does not create plain text files, it creates rich text files (.rtf). If you truly want plain text, try the free TextWrangler:
    http://www.barebones.com/
    As to the line break problem, Macs use just a carriage return as the end-of-line character, while Windows uses a carriage return followed by a line break character. At least, that's how I understand it. Most likely, whatever app you're using on Windows is dumb enough that it can't figure out what to do with the Mac line endings. TextWrangler will let you change the line breaks, so you could use it to create plain text files with Windows line breaks. Of course, that doesn't help if you didn't really want plain text (ie, absolutely no styling, just raw text).

    Ok Great,
    Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
    This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.

    No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)

  • Font Used For Quick Look Plain Text Files?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know what font Leopard uses when you Quick Look a plain text file? It's one that isn't anti-aliased. I can't seem to find it anywhere in my Font Book.

    You could override that with code in userContent.css, either for all websites or for specific websites.

  • Plain text files appeared from nowhere in my finder window

    I have a whole bunch of plain text files that have appeared in my finder window when searching in my user profile at the stage where I can view documents, desktop, music etc [sorry not sure what this is called and wanted to make obvious what I'm talking about].
    Can anyone help. I have no idea what these files are, but they look empty.
    Have I hit a view hidden files button somewhere that I can't find again? Can I just delete them all?
    Thanks for the help, this forum has been very useful for a number of things!
    Nick

    Hi nick,
    You have navigated to your home folder. (/Drive/Users/shortname/)
    Some programs will automatically save files there. You can delete them if you want but that may destroy settings in the app that put them there. How long was it since you last viewed the visible files in your home directory? Have you installed any new programs since then? What are the names of the files and can you infer from them where they came from? You can always try moving the files to another folder (without deleting them) and then see if you are suddenly missing any settings in a new app or if they are replaced. Might help you figure out who is putting them there.
    Hope that helps.
    edit: There is no view hidden files button unless you installed a program which specifically makes them viewable, or were playing around in terminal I suppose.

  • Number format changed after opening a plain text file in Excel

    Hi,
    I have an urget need to understand about how to open a plain text file in Excel with numbers displayed as is. The text file is tab delimited. Right now, extra digits (0, or 00 ) are added. For example, 31:16 from text file is displayed as 31:16:00,
    15:0 becomes 15:00, 6:5 becomes 6:05. How to display the numbers as they are in the original text file?
    Thank you very much for the help.
    Amy

    This is a annoying problem.
    Excel will try to guess the data type if you leave the cell formatting as general.This happens a lot with specific numerical entries that could be confused as dates.e.g. 12:0,1-5 etc.Unfortunatley We can't tell Excel to stop reading it as a date, but what you
    can do is tell it to display the date how you want it.
    In addtion,in order to avoid confusion and keep track of troubleshooting steps, we usually troubleshoot one issue per thread. So if you need any further help, please create a new post.Thanks for your understanding.
