Boot Camp Update Does Not Install Completely

I posted a question with this title back in April. Lots of others were having the same problem (trying to go from 2.1 to 2.2).
Finally found a solution, but could not post it on the original question because the topic had been archived. I will post it now as an answer to this question.

Here's the solution. Easy but far from obvious.
I found another thread where the advice given was to uninstall any third party video drivers used, for example, to mirror the screen to a remote video projector.
I tried the update once more (to see if Apple had fixed it) and it failed as usual near the end of the update process, with a generic error message that was no help at all. Then I uninstalled a video mirroring driver that I had installed a year ago. Tried the update again and it worked just fine. I was able then to update to Boot Camp 3 from my Snow Leopard install DVD, and then to update it to the latest. I will later try re-installing the video mirror driver.

How do I remove the Windows partition? Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the remove option.

I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?

You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

Help - Logic 8.0.2 update does not install

The Logic 8.0.2 Update does not install on my machine. The installer goes through the motions very quickly and my Logic Pro app still indicates version 8.0.1. Logic node, Waveburner, etc. all seem to have updated to the .2 version. After not taking with Software Update, I downloaded the updater and that didn't work as well. I have also tried trashing the appropriate Receipt packages (though there was no Logic 8.0.2 receipt). Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks for your help, Erik. I just got off the phone with Apple support and the solution was dumber than dumb: somewhere along the line Logic Pro was renamed "Logic Pro 8" to distinguish it from ver. 7 still on my system. Renamed it "Logic Pro" and voila, the installer recognizes it!
"mistakes were made..."

Why Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?

QuestionWhy Software Updater does not install some updates automatically?
AnswerSoftware Updater only installs security-related updates automatically. Non-security-related updates, and service packs installation are required to be initiated manually via the Software updates tab under the Policy Manager Console.
In Policy Manager 12, a checkbox Show non-security-related updates has been introduced under the Policy Manager Console > Software tab. Unchecking the checkbox hides the following update types:
Microsoft security tools
Non-security updates
Service packs
Note: This checkbox is Policy Manager Console-specific setting. If you change the setting in one Policy Manager Console, it would not affect another Policy Manager Console connected to the same Policy Manager Server.

Presumably FOTA not an option for your 5800XM?

Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format

Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format - (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume).
When I go to the Boot Camp Assistant to partition the Macintosh HD disk, an error comes up saying,
"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
Please help me out! I would really appreciate it!

I was not allowed the Repair Disk option. I tryed Verify Disk, and an error came up saying,
"The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."
What should I do?

Droid X2 2.3.4 OTA update does NOT install on my phone

Hello,
Today, when I checked for software updates in the settings page of my Motorola Droid X2, it said the 1.3.380.en.US is ready to be applied. I downloaded it and clicked on install once download finished.
The phone reboots, shows the logo and the progress bar for installing the update and then shows an exclamatory mark. The progress bar also stops. Then the stupid phone reboots and when I unlock it, it says the update has failed.
This is unacceptable from a smartphone and I am already **bleep**. Firstly, the phone has 10's of issues (music stutters, etc.) and many people complained about it. And Motorola releases this update that is supposed to fix those issues. And now, the update does NOT even install. Why? Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Or is anyone else facing this issue? Do I have a bad phone and should I replace it?
Please help!
A very very frustrated Droid X2 owner.

I can't speak specifically to the DX2, as I have the original DX ... I assume you've tried a Battery Pull ?? Just power it down, remove the battery and leave it out for like 1 minute - reinsert & power up. See if it proceeds with the update ... if not, you'll likely have to do the factory Reset. If you have data on your SD Card that you want to preserve make sure you don't select "Format SD Card" -- or just remove it entirely before starting the F.R. process.
If you take it to Verizon or call them, they will likely walk you through, or do, the factory Reset anyway .. And since you seem to have "10's" of issues, this might be the best path for you to take anyway ... and in fact if it were ME, I would just bite the bullet, allow the Format of the SD Card, and be done with it .. Of course you'll have to re-download all of your FREE apps after doing so. And if you can't get the phone to boot up, that in itself can be a challenge because Market won't know about them after you do the F.R.
So if you decide to do that, I would go ONLINE to MARKET and write down a list of all your Free Apps before starting the process.
Good luck ..

AdbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp Update Does Not Install using Nullsoft

Hello,
I am attempting to use the Nullsoft Scriptable Install system to install the Adobe® Reader® 10.0.1 update on Windows XP SP3. I determined that the Adobe update will install as expected when I run the msp on a console command line with the following arguments:
C:\temp\> AdbeRdrUpd1001_Tier1.msp /passive /norestart
However, when I put the same exact command into Nullsoft script, the update does not get applied. I have a theory that the Tier1 update needs to determine language information from Windows XP and because the Nullsoft script executes in a Windows environment that is not fully initialized, the language information is not available and the update fails. If you can expand on this or provide any insight please respond to this message. Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff

you could start by uninstalling the HP Update program from Add/Remove Programs.

Boot Camp Assistant does not work

I just installed leopard (clean install). When I start the boot camp assistant, I just get the error message that I need to upgrade the operating system..... anybody?

I have the same problem and i have searched EVERYWHERE for an answer to it. The only thing i know is that my firmware is not correct. It does not need to be updated it says but it clearly does if you ask me.
For me the Boot ROM Version is: MB11.0061.B02 and you need .B03 to use it. I have had this problem for ages when i tried to setup windows on ma mac using the Beta version of Boot Camp, when i was using Tiger. I was hoping when i bought Leopard this problem would have been solved but nope, nothing.
Is there anyway to go back to original firmware and then update it again? There must be a way!!! Or do we have to wait for the next firmware update from apple?
I upgraded my mac because of the option to add windows as well and due to my work i would love to have windows also.

My boot camp partition does not recognize inserted discs

I am running OSX 10.5.8 and have a Boot Camp partition set up with Windows XP. The Windows partition works fine, but no longer recognizes when a DVD or CD is inserted. The disc does not appear in the My Computer folder, even though the drive is spinning. The eject button does not function to eject the disc, and I have to shut down the Windows partition, boot up in the Mac partition to eject or see the disc contents.
This prevents me from installing any software on the Windows partition.
Any suggestions?

Years ago there were issues with "Gear" software drivers preventing DVD/CD from working.

Win 7 in Boot Camp: Drivers will not install from snow leopard cd.

I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro (8,1). I am loading Windows 7 with Boot Camp, but cannot get any of the drivers to install. (ethernet, video, etc)
I have tried both the Snow Leopard cd (I think it's Boot Camp 3.2?), and also downloading drivers online, neither work. I have tried reformatting/reinstalling, and even tried loading a old copy of XP and I had the exact same problem there too.
What happens: I install the drivers successfully, restart, and nothing has changed. I can see the drivers installed in the programs list (when I go to "uninstall programs") but if I go to Device Manager all of the devices (ethernet, video, etc) show a yellow triangle and say they need drivers! It's like I'm installing the wrong drivers or something.
I can't find any other posts with a problem like this, I have been working on this forever and am kind of at my wits end. Any ideas??

Don't believe what Apple posts.
If you don't have EFI64 like 2008 and later Mac Pro, then you will run into a hurdle and have to modify the Windows DVD to get it to boot and install.
To Apple, and due to the non-standard way they implemented UEFI, and that ours (2006/7 Mac Pro) all there was that we got was the 2005 EFI32 (affects our choices in graphics cards too).
I installed 32-bit, then installed 64-bit on another partition.
The DVD can be modified, from Windows, most easy method would be from any of the VMs like VirtualBox. Then use one of the 2-3 Imgburn or other tricks mentioned online (search for "Jowie" and search for the "Select CD-ROM" error you get trying to boot).

Apple software update does not install software

Why does apple software update not install software. System 10.6.8 ?

Hello:
What do you mean? What happens when you run software update?

New update does not install at all , but keeps coming up

four times your update comes up. I hit the update button and then
this stripped line in a slender box saying it is trying to connect with the server comes on and stays on forever. nothing happens so I shut it off. it is now bugging me stop send me a update taht does not work

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
