Can't install System update 314-2008-5-15

have an X31 and need to install this system update. Instructions call for "using DOS commands, go to folder where file is saved". I can't remember enough DOS to execute this instruction!!! I can open the DOS prompt, but am lost after that. Can anyone translate these instructions (and the remainder of them) to easy language?

Hello,
i would suggest to download a Dos program like Norton Commander or something like this.
Burn it on CD or write to diskette.
This application has got a GUI and you are able to browse through your directories.
Or simply googe for Dos commands, the basic one´s you´ll find easily online.
But using a application like formentioned is always easier.

All Apple iTunes Store accounts must have a valid form of payment set up. Even for free apps and updates. The Payment Declined message comes from your card issuer or payment source; Apple is just a pass-through for the message. You need to find out why your issuer is declining your card.

Cannot install System Update 4 on Thinkpad W520 running Win7 Prof 64

I am having problems installing system update 4. I originally installed it and had the problem with running it and getting the tvsu error message that is addressed in another thread.
I uninstalled it then ran two registry optimizers and reinstalled .Net and now I can't even install it. When I do I get the following:
This setup will perform an upgrade of '!@^'. Do you want to continue? Yes or No.
I click Yes and it runs some more until this pops up:
Error 2753. The File 'startsuservice.exe' is not marked for installation.
Click OK then the installation program finishes but does not complete. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall the entire toolbox and that does not work.
I have a W520 running Win7 64.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. See my answers in bold.

Slicing and dicing the registry is NOT the solution. Why not, if you know what you are doing? Guess the MSI installer is not the answer. I would NEVER use a registry cleaner, EVer. It over cleans. No argument there.
(1) Does programs and features show System update installed? No IF so try to uninstall.
(2) Install System Update 5.0.2 and post the results. Won't install. If it did, what results would I post? Install on top of version 4 and see what happens. SU is not installed. Support of your laptop does NOT show version 4 available for download.
(3)This system was factory shipped win 7 (released feb 22,2011) did system update ever work out of the box? No.
(4) What version of . Net installed? v4 3.5 SP 1 is needed. NO need to uninstall/reinstall. You are overworking yourself. Agreed
===
You state you used 2 registry cleaners, and from feb 2011 until your June 2012 post, was all well with your system? Yes, a couple of other problems were actually fixed but not this one. Based on all of the experts disdain for these cleaners, I guess I was lucky that they didn't cause more problems.
I would backup your user data and factory install. No, too much work. See foot, it has a hole in it. ?????
When did you receive this laptop, like before June 2012? purchase date? June, 2011

Your original post:
I originally installed it and had the problem with running it and getting the tvsu error message that is addressed in another thread.
When did you run registry cleaners? Approx. between 6/11 and 6/12. After the tvsu error message that is addressed in another thread? Yes
==
Your most recent post referred to a workaround. This involves SU version 5. It wont reinstall, seems SU service (old) pointing to non existent folder. New SU just released. You are version 4. So? Any version I try to install fails with the same message.
==
I do problem determination on main frames. Been doing it for 30 years. I did the same early in my career. Gather the facts. In your case, original, , System update msg error. Did something else occur(registry cleaner). Some times the interview points to the most simple solution. Oh, really? The easy fix would be to bypass the point in the install process that is pointing to a previous version that does not exist or find the offending registry entry that is deceiving the install process and delete it. But I can't do that because I am not a MS/PC software engineer and I can't seem to find one who can help. OH, change parm=0 to parm =1 or install the newer version. Where? Simple. You over killing it.
What I like to call tourist Information...(couch potato), .. so. bottom line, in June 2012, version 4 SU gave me a error message. That is where we start. That would be nice but no one has ever solved the original problem in this forum.

Cannot Install System Update

I have a thinkpad W500 and I'm reinstalling Windows 7 after years of running linux (I got tired of my video drivers being unsupported due to the age of the card). However, when I attempt to install system update, I get the message "an error occured while gathering user information" and I cannot continue. How can I get the switchable graphics, power, and keyboard drivers properly installed? I don't really care about the rest of the software, it just that system update is the only way I know of to get it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and welcome,
Do you get that error while installing TVSU or while running it?
IIRC one thing that can cause that error when running TVSU is using an older version that doesn't match what the servers expect. Are you using the latest version from the support site?

Can I install Driver updates?

Ok, i have installed windows xp on my imac for over 7 months now still working fine and a few days ago i installed a program called drivermax and found a few updates for my current drivers, my question is:
Can i install driver updates for my XP?
i just don't want it to cause any problems BTW, is it possible for me to get a new intel chip and work it on my IMac?

Hi ? and welcome to Discussions,
my personal approach with Driver Updates in Windows is 'never change a running system' and/or 'if it ain't broken, don't try to fix it'.
So unless I have any kind of trouble with my Windows I don't update Drivers.
BTW: I am still running the BootCamp Beta 1.1.4 Drivers
If you want to update drivers, you should consider making a backup of your BootCamp Windows before with WinClone http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/ or at minimum set a 'System Restore Point' to which you can revert in case something goes wrong.
Nontheless you should stick with the Driver Updates Apple has provided.
BootCamp 2.0 Drivers are on the Leopard DVD and BootCamp 2.1 Drivers can be downloaded from Apple but will only install if you have installed the 2.0 drivers .
You can't 'upgrade' the Intel processor without at least losing your warranty.
Even then this is definitely a very difficult task and most likely not worth the time and money you have to invest.

MacOS can't find system updates

Hello
I've got an issue with my Mac OS system. The thing is the system can't find system updates in AppStore application. I can see updates for applications but not for system. For instance, when I open iTunes I have a massage that update for iTunes 12.0.1 is available, but when I switch to AppStore I can't see this update in update list.
Actually I've updated to 10.10.1 by direct downloading update package due to absence of 10.10.1 update in my AppStore update list.
The problem appeared when I updated for 10.10 from my 10.9 OS.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

Yes, that is normal, when you had Mavericks before you will see that also with the "download" button. AS it says.
This "download" is a real download (inc the update if there is any) and it downloads the whole OSX: you can do that easier with the RecoveryPartition:
hold CMD+R keys while starting up, it opens in the Recovery Partition, choose install OSX: it downloads and installs the latest updated OSX, it leaves your user data and settings alone.
the "update" buttons do the same as in the Updates Page.
But if there is an update of the OSX, it should also be in the Updates Tab of Appstore: there you install only the update.
Yosemite is at the moment at 10.10.1, see yours in Apple->About this Mac.

I can't install software Update for iOS 7.1.1. for iPad because I was forgot my password. How I can change my password?

These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

I have a 3 year old mac, enough memory and hard drive space, snow leopard 10.6.8 installed yet it still says I can't install the update.

Issue installing System Update 5.01

Hello all I am having an issue installing System update 5.01. I looked in the logs within the temp directory and it says error 1602 which is user canceled. However, I am not canceling the install. I also tried http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall that didn't work either.
I'm on a T420 with Windows 7 64bit.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time

I had similar issues installing 5.01. I believe there is something wrong with the package. Here is how I fixed it:
Download installer from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE
Extract package with 7zip
Copy "Lenovo System Update.msi" to "System Update.msi"
Run setup.exe
For some reason the installer was looking for this file and it wasn't there, perhaps running the installer in silent/unattended mode caused it to exit with the code you mentioned.
I hope this fixes your problem too!

yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
"Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.

Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

totally agree. at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it. i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine. i paid for it. and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working.
