FirmWare updates always spawn error message

I work at a school, and I have been involved in imaging our new MacBooks and iMacs. Every time I run a FirmWare update, I get the strange error message asking "Where is system events?" and it asks me to browse for the application. Closing the dialog box allows the update to run and complete successfully.
Has anyone else encountered this? This isn't a big deal. I just hate it when companies half-@$$ things...

I'm not sure why you're getting the error, it might help if you told us exactly which model MacBook and which "firmware" update you're installing (there are several different ones). If it helps, System Events is in this path:
/System/Library/CoreServices/System Events.app

  • My iPhone is not starting up after it was stock on iPhone firmware update. i received error message that there was an internal error. how can i reboot my iPhone?

    Now the apple apears on the screen and after 1 minute i'ts gone and the wait or reboot circle appears and this in a loop.

    You might have to reload the update, in which you can hold down the lock button and home button for 10 secs, then let the lock button go, while still holding the home button and it will say it is in restore mode in itunes.  just make sure the phone is plugged into your computer while doing the process.

    After soak test update, I get error messages repeatedly. The majority are "unfortunately, messaging has stopped", but you can replace messaging with "android os", or any other process, as it happens with more than just messaging. I have had numerous people call and ask why I didn't reply to their texts...and I look, but have not received any new texts. YES, I have restarted phone. I have cleared data as well as cache on all apps. I have downloaded the vzw messaging app, which seems silly, since it happens with several different processes and apps, but all to no avail. I am missing texts from my employer, from my family. This did happen, but rarely, before this "soak test". It is now Kitkat version 19.6.3.obake_verizon.en.US. THIS is when I started having problems...like 50 times a day kind of problems! I have seen hundreds of posts all over the internet over the past 3 days. Does no one know how to fix this??? Shouldn't there be a way to revert phone to a pre-update state? and no, hard reset did NOT work!!!! I have been with verizon for well over 15 years, but I have not upgraded my lines and will not in July either. This is ridiculous. It's not like my games aren't working, it is my messaging and "android os"...my lifeline at work!

    kristinaf333,
    Oh no, I am sorry to hear your messages are not working since the software update. I greatlly appreciate doing all that troubleshooting to try and get the messaging application back in business. I know how much I rely on my messages so I can understand the urgency to get this resolved. Have you had a resolution ticket opened since you started experiencing issues with your messages? Does this happen with all contacts or just some? Please provide additional information to ensure we get to the bottom of this for you.

    cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update.  Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

    Hi mike,
    Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
    Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
    I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
    Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
    Nathan

    Hey jeight26,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Sincerely,
    Delgadoh

  • MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update.  Gray box just turns a lighter shade of gray

    MacBookPro won't download updates. No error message. Using Software Update-not using App.  Gray button just turns a lighter shade of gray and just sits there.  Have done previous downloads last one on Jan.9 for desktop and two others. 

    So I've realized that iTunes needs service pack 2 for
    XP, and I have 1, so I'm trying to download it, but
    that's not working either... I wonder if you know
    windows as well as apple? I have to turn the Active
    x controls on and this tool bar is to appear so I can
    do that but I can't get it to appear. I've tried
    raising the security settings but nothing appears...
    interesting.................what is service pack 2 and where can i find it? My itunes still flickers on and off when i attempt to use it. .. and how do i get to the active X controls so that i can adjust them? Thank you guys so much for your time and assistance :-D

  • Installing/updating software always generates error message

    Every time I update or install software I receive the error message "software failed to install." As soon as I click the message to close it, another message pops up telling me that the software did install. This has been going on for several months and is consistent. I don't notice any other problem with my computer, but I find it quite disconcerting. It makes me wonder if I have something like a keystroke logger running in the background, but I am not savvy enough to know how to determine whether this is the case.
    Should I be worried about this?

    For a start try this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
