How to update Boot Camp drivers when you already install Boot Camp?

The last time i install Windows 7 (Boot Camp) and drivers on my Mac was a bit long time ago, and i realise that there is some new drivers available for mine, so how can i update my Boot Camp drivers, please help me, and thanks!!!

I have MacBook Pro Retina w/Lion (of course), installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit, using Boot Camp procedures and files that were issued June 14.  My BootCamp Assistant says it's 4.0.4.
My question is:  how do I know when the Windows Support files (drivers) are updated by Apple?  I would have expected an update by now, but I just went into Boot Camp Assistant on Lion, re-downloaded the drivers, and I *think* they are all dated June 14th still.  (looked in WindowsSupport folder which is where it said it downloaded them)
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to get notified if there are new drivers or not.
My expectation was that I could run *something* either on the Windows or OS X side, and it would *tell me* that drivers needed updating, or at least say "you are running version X".
It can't be that I have to re-download the drivers and check the dates on all the files every time I'm curious if there's updates available.  Can it?
The files seem to be on some mysterious Apple server and the only thing I can do to that server is ask to download the support files.  No query, no "is an update available", ... ???
It's not even clear to me that the Windows Support files have a version number.

    If the iPhone was jailbroken, you get this error due to baseband mismatch. No help for such iPhones here in this forum.
    if not, Restore on another computer. If error persists it is hardware failure.

    When I open Muse, I get a message that a new update is available.  When I hit install it just closes and nothing happens.  Then I got a message  I needed Adobe Creative Cloud App to resolve the issue.  I downloaded a copy of Creative Cloud desktop but it says that my Muse is up to date.  It was last updated in May but you have a new update today and it will not update.  I thought maybe I am not suppose to have the Creative Cloud update because all I have is the individual app Muse and the photography program.  So I uninstalled the CC desktop.  Then when I open Muse it says I need the CC desktop to help with the update.  So I get stopped either way.  Now I also had a Pre-Release Muse on my computer and I don't know if that complicated things.  Please advise.

    All future installs/updates of Muse (and most other Adobe apps) are through the Creative Cloud desktop app. Thus you do need to have it installed.

    how do i unfreeze my ipod when ive already tried the menu and select button and that didnt help?

    How long did you press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together?  Have you tried doing this procedure more than once?  Is the hold switch in the Off position?
    If nothing else, let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up again.

    It all depends. You don't NEED anything, Firefox runs just fine with it's default setup, and you don't need to install anything to fully experience the best of the web. But lets say you don't like ads. Install Adblock plus. Lets say you want to change themes, there are dozens of them. It's all personal preference.

    Try re-indexing Spotlight.

    If worse comes to worse, and it is in your Purchases tab, delete 1.0.3 and download it again. You might need to do Spotlight again.

  • How will the new OSX Mavericks affect applications already installed and using Mountain Lion?

    How will the new OSX Mavericks affect applications already installed and using Mountain Lion?

    If you're asking about compatibility, that would be something you would need to ask of the app developers, though most apps compatible with Mountain Lion should be compatible with Mavericks. You can also consult the tables here:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps
    though that information comes from user reports and so should not be considered authoritative.
    If you're asking whether installing Mavericks will delete your apps, no, it won't, though a good backup is always highly recommended.

  • How to update Boot Camp 5

    I installed Windows 8 last month with the previous version of Boot Camp.
    Now that Bootcamp 5 is out, I want to update Boot Camp but I do not understand how. I've downloaded the files from Apple's website, put them on a FAT formated USB drive, and clicked the setup.exe file within the Bootcamp folder. I get the follwing message: "This app can't run on your PC. To find a different version for your PC, check with the software publisher."
    Is there a way to update Boot Camp for my Windows 8? Or must I reinstall Windows 8 with Boot Camp already updated? Can I simply download the Bootcamp files to my desktop and open them from there? What's the need for the USB?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
