Bootcamp assistant requires OS update but there aren't new updates

My configuration: Intel-iMac, OS 10.5.5, Bootcamp 2.0, EFI firmware 1.3.
If I launch the bootcamp assistant and click the "continue" button then bootcamp asks me to update my OS first.
But the software update in the Apple menu tells me that there aren't any new updates currently.
What can I do to get bootcamp to "continue"?

First thing to do is try repairing permissions, in this case, it might help though usually I don't think it does, but it is something to run before doing any OS updates, and again (yes) after applying patches and updates to OS X (oddly).
Do not run Repair Permissions from DVD or older versions of Leopard.
Might find something in MacIntouch:

I need to use iMovie, but it says that my Quick Time needs to be updated.. but there are no new updates available

i need to use imovie for a project and i tried to open it but it says i need version 7.6.0 or later, so i went to software updates and there are no updates for my computer.
Any suggestions on what to do?!
thanks,

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

Why do some websites tell me that my Safari needs to be updated but there are no Software Updates for my computer?

I have Safari version 5.1.10 and Maverick 10.6.8. I see that there is Safari 6 & 7 but when I run a Software Update, it says my computer is up to date.

Those are only for newer Mac OS X versions; you need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch browsers.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

HT5648 After uninstalling and installing several times, Java plug-in is still undetected. Support suggested I open up the control panel and click update but there isn't such an option. The advance tab, there aren't any options to enable or disable plug-in

After uninstalling and installing several times, Java plug-in is still undetected. Support suggested I open up the control panel and click update but there isn't such an option. The advance tab, there aren't any options to enable or disable plug-ins.

If you're running Java 7, then in System Preferences > Java > Java Control Panel in the Security tab there is a check box to enable Java in your browser. To check for update go to the Update tab.

IMovie won't open because it's "being updated" - but there's no iMovie activity in the App Store!

Just today, I tried opening iMovie to work on a project. I get an error message that reads: " You can't open the application "iMovie" because it is being updated." This then kicks me out to the App Store - but there's no iMovie update in progress there. It's driving me insane.
On top of that, when I try to perform the updates WITHIN the app store - Mavericks and some other apps - I click "update" and nothing happens. Any troubleshooting advice? I really need this to work.
I'm on 10.8.5, on a Macbook Pro bought in 2012.

I had this same problem. The way I solved it was to go into the app store, and specifically click on iMovie. The tab there mentioned something like "upgrade" (where normally you would see "buy"). If I click on that, there is a pull down menu that says that I do not have the lastest operating system for the new movie, but that I can reinstall the older version. When I clicked on that option, it reinstalled iMovie (which for some reason just hadn't worked in Mountain Lion). It worked just fine. I didn't have to pay. If you are signed in at the app store, and click on iMovie, hopefully you will be presented with this option as well.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error.

Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

Follow the instructions under 'Update your device using iTunes' in that article.

I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed. But there's nothing new to it. Is there something I'm suppose to do? I restarted the imac, no difference

Weird, that's not the one I was initially downloading but I think that is the one that installed, so I think that solves that. But now the problem is that the one I was updating is no longer being shown. It's over 1gb that had all the loops and instruments.
Now when I try to use say strings lunar strings. It tells me to download at app store. It doesn't show. I go back to garageband try again and says the instrument or loop is currently being installed. But it's not.

Every time I open my imovie app on my computer it always closes. can someone tell me why it does that? i already checked for updates but there is none.

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

AppStore claims no updates - but there are!

Anyone else seen this?
In iTunes on my Mac when I check for updates iTunes claims all my apps are up to date, no new updates.
In the AppStore on my 3G iPhone same result, no new updates.
Then I saw that my version of Pianist is 1.0 while the current one is 1.2! So there must be an update! So I purchased Pianist again on my iPhone's AppStore and got the message "This update is free because you own a previous version." (or something like that). Aha! So there is an update!
Then I saw that my version of Ocarina is 1.0.1 while the current version is also 1.2! Purchased Ocarina on my iPhone again and got the same message "This update is free because you own a previous version." Aha! Another one!
So what's happening? I can no longer trust the AppStore on my iPhone nor in iTunes to tell me 'no new updates'... It seems to say that even though there are!
p.s.
Once I updated those two apps on my iPhone, suddenly my iTunes account claims: There are 2 new updates for your applications: Pianist and Ocarina.
Duh!

My iPhone's connected via WiFi.
When launching the AppStore the spinning gear appears briefly and then it says 'All Apps Are Up to Date'.
Yet again:
I checked Super Monkey Ball. According to iTunes on my Mac my copy is version 1.0.1 and according to the iPhone AppStore the current one is 1.0.2! Another app that should be updated!
So I tap on 'Buy Now" and am greeted with 'This update is free because you own a previous version of this item.' Aha!
Clicking OK downloads 1.0.2.
And lo and behold: iTunes on my Mac now tells me I have 3 applications that need updating!
So so, all of a sudden...
What might be screwing things up potentially / expose the bug in Apple's software:
- These apps were originally purchased on an iPhone 2.5G. I later moved to an iPhone 3G via an iTunes backup and restore. Perhaps some original database with the app versions did not make it across via the iTunes backup?
- I moved continent recently, those apps were purchased on a different address on my iTunes account than now.
But as it currently stands I cannot trust either iTunes on my Mac nor the AppStore on my iPhone in regards to updates - and must manually check every app I have. What a pain...

Hi Ginny,
There are no more updates for Java from Apple for 10.5.8, the only way to get a Java upgrade is updating your OSX.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It looks like they do still have it:

And it's been reported that if you have a MobileMe account Apple will send one free.

HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps.

Video no longer plays from sites on comedy central. Site says browser must be updated, but I have installed all updates and restarted the computer..twice.

If it is any consolation this started happening to me today. I am in Toronto. I am wondering if there is a copyright issue here. I have done nothing to solve it - mostly because I suspect this has nothing to do with my computer.
p.s. My speculation about copyright is not correct. Comedy Central plays fine with Google Chrome. Have not yet tested Firefox.
