Error message when starting Boot Camp: 'You must update your computers Boot Rom'

I installed the latest firmware updated to my late 2011 13 inch MBP. Rom version is MBP81.0047.B24. Now Boot Camp won't start. Says I need to updated my boot rom. But its updated already. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

Fire the people that write meaningless message errors. Oh, can't. Get the point though.
you mean you are trying to use Boot Camp Assistant? Boot Camp has become meaningless through over use for too many things.
It doesn't even know bout your EFI frmware, I can say that.
You should though use Lion Boot Camp Assistant and the BC 4.01 drivers for your system.
Zap pram
repair your hard drive with Disk Utility - from DVD
make sure your free space is not fragmented, is contiguous and also large enough, 40 + 20GB for Windows, and still leave 20GB / 20% free for HFS.
And backup(s).

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

    Hi gurus,
    I'm a complete newbye searching the forums in order to decrypt what is inconsistent to me (I'm acting as a substitute for a real dba): a sapdb refusing any more connection due to an 'user space exhausted' issue.
    I do not even know if/where some admin tool is/isn't installed - eventually, what to look for - onto the running demianapachetomcat framework. Actually, all I have been provided was: 1. call 'Henplus' (done); 2. connect this way (jdbc:sapdb://localhost/database&options) and 3. select, upgrade, delete what needed. Problem arises on point (2): connection resufed 'user space exhausted'.
    My question is: this issue seems so similar to mine, how can one eventually check/modify this '/sapdb directory space'?
    Thanks in advance for any (much appreciated) hint, and be patient about my English and newbyeness (?).

  • Getting error message when starting Photoshop CS3

    I am getting the following error message when starting CS3:
    "This application has failed to start because CML4.dll was not found."
    The window title is, "Photoshop.exe - Unable to Locate Component"
    Of course, the only button to push is the "OK" button (which should probably read - Something's f-d up. Press here to continue.) After pressing the OK button, CS3 starts and works without issue - so far.  I guess I haven't actually used the part of the program that uses CML4.dll or just don't see any difference with or without it.
    How can I resolve this issue - without reinstalling PSCS3? and why does it happen in the first place?

    Nikon Scanning Software has CML4.dll as part of its package.  I assume that the Nikon software did not install/uninstall properly and is causing the error.  I have not gone back to do Nikon scans within Photoshop so I do not know if it affects performance. McAfee does not flag it as a virus, and other websites I referred to indicated no viral activity associated with the file.

  • Error message when starting Adobe Illustrator CC [Error loading plugins   AppBarControls.aip]

    Hello,
    I get the following error message when I start Adobe Illustrator CC.
    Error loading plugins
    AppBarControls.aip
    Then it gives me the option to continue by clicking okay. When it opens, the Application Bar is just blank.
    I've tried uninstalling, then ran Adobe CC Cleaner, then downloaded and reinstalled.
    Computer details : OS X 10.9.5, 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Help is kindly appreciated!

    I also have had a difficult time with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 crashing upon launch.  The support staff was great even though we had to work through several sessions.  Below is the email explaining our final session.
    This email is in regards with the issue you had been facing with Illustrator CC 2014.
    While going through the installer logs, we found that there was an issue with the installation & the program installer had been denied access to several critical files & folders during installation.
    This was the main reason for Illustrator crash as several critical components had not been installed properly.
    We tried installing the program in a new user account & that worked.
    Though the program has been installed properly now & is working in your old account, I will still strongly recommend you to get your computer user account repaired with a Windows 7 operating system diskette.
    This is required so that you do not run into more trouble later while working with the Adobe Applications or even while installing other programs.
    Avanish Divya was the final support person that successfully resolved my problems.
