How to upgrade to bootcamp 2.1 when sp3 already installed?

hi
spent last night installing xp sp3 on my mbp
everything went fine.
stange thing is that I didnt uprade to bootcamp 2.1 before installing xp sp3.
I did it on bootcamp 2.0 ..
my questions:
how do I upgrade my bootcamp to 2.1?
do I have to remove my xp sp 3 and partition ??
thanks for helping

Most tech articles are written by people who know and have degree in professional writing and how to communicate.
No programmer or lawyer though would pass on the "BC 2.1 required" phrase.
Apple Software Update is part of the package of drivers and services that were part of BC 2.0 that came from your OEM DVD with Leopard.
If you run Apple Software Update in Windows, it should show an update for ASU to a new version, then after restart and rerunning ASU, the latest version.
Some new Macs have later versions of Boot Camp on their OEM drive.
Also, and this was strange, even if you install the Safari 4.0 beta and choose NOT to INSTALL ASU, it will still get installed!
So there are a number of methods to get updates thru Apple Software Update.
Finally, there is a direct download for Boot Camp 2.1 for XP, but.... it is a year old, came out before SP3 was really out, and says "required before updating" rather than just "recommended" and I've seen no real problem, or that it was required, or fixed anything, with upgrades to SP3. SP3 has trouble of its own - on PCs as well as Macs.
No, you don't need to remove or uninstall. (But you may want to make a backup image of your Windows partition, check out WinClone from Twocanoes.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1999 10.5.4 included Boot Camp drivers
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsxp.html
And there are people who had trouble only AFTER they installed BC 2.1 drivers, another reason to make a backup image (in OS X with WinClone).

How do I complete uninstalling itunes? when I try installing i get an error message saying it can't find the path ,itunes64.msi missing.

How do I complete uninstalling itunes? when I try installing i get an error message saying it can't find the path ,itunes64.msi missing

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.

How to upgrade to aperture 3.5 when the app store does not show the update. I did buy aperture 3 on DVD not thru the app store. what to do?

I can not open aperture databases anymore as osx10.9 keeps telling me i have opened it with a newer version, which i have not but i understand from other discussions that thru the upgrade of iphoto osx automatically thinks that you have opened with aperture 3.5. the app store does not show me the update as i have not purchased the program thru the app store but on dvd. what to do?

If you are running MacOS X 10.9 and Aperture is installed in your Applications folder and simply called Aperture, not Apertre 3 or something, the AppStore should be showing you the update.
Have you already updated to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page Aperture 3.4.5?
Try to update manually to 3.4.5 and then reboot and sign again into the AppStore with your AppleID and look at the Update page.
For some forum members it helped to set the main system language to English U.S. to make the update finally show.

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.

How to upgrade Exchange 2007 from Sp1 to SP3 RU13

Hi everyone, I have a mail system Exchange 2007 SP1 CAS and HUB with 3 servers.
The mailboxes are on a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster.
Domain controllers are Windows Server 2003 SP2
I have to update the mail system with Service Pack 3 and RU13.
Does anyone can tell me the procedure? where I have to start by the CAS / HUB or cluster mailboxes?
How do I update the cluster of mailboxes, the resources on the active node and update it, or liability?
There's something I have to take intoaccount before upgrading?
I can upgrade directly to SP3? or I have to upgrade before SP2? thank you very much

HT5312 How do I change my security questions, when I already have 3 and a account? You only explain things when you make an account, which obviously doesnt help if you already have one.

How do you change your security questions? Apple has changed everything once again and I HATE IT!!! I never had to use my security questions and now I do. I have the ipod touch 1, obviously it has been forever since I've made them so i dont remember them. They tell me to go to my Apple ID and click security tab to send an email. Well, What the heck do you do when the only way to do that is by remembering the security questions and answers, when that is your problem??? I NEED HELP!!!!

If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

I don't know how to implment this
Any suggestion is very appreciated.

How can I make an Install Disc for Lion 10.7.5, when it already installed

I purchased the Lion 10.7.5 download through the App store and it started downloading before I realized that I needed to make a copy of it, is there a way to make a backup copy of the operating system in case of a problem. I was not allowed to re-download it through the app store.

Thank you... I will take your advice and relax...
OK will do.
As you can tell, I totally disagree with apple on this.... It should be a DEFAULT that the ability to make a DVD start up disc is always there... not the other way around.
I have spent hours on this upgrade... upgrading the Snow Leopard, upgrading to Lion, Installing new hardware, re-installing new hardware, re-installing the old hardware...
Some people, like myself, have the ability to DIY, but I don't have the incredible highly detailed inside knowledge that I apparently have to possess...
Thanx

Zen Micro Firmware Upgrade 1.01.03: Problems when Downloading and Installing the Upgr

Yesterday I downloaded the new firmware upgrade .0.03 to my computer without problems. I then attempted to open the upgrade and initiate transfer to my Zen Micro unit through my USB 2.0 cable. I kept getting a dialog box, informing me that there was an interference problem... So I shut down my Norton anti-virus and my Zone Alarm firewall, and tried again, and again, and again. I was unable to initiate the transfer program...
I was about to contact you this evening for advice, but I decided to first switch my USB cable to another connector and try one more time. Surprise! It worked... A rather long connection, but the upgrade is now in my Zen Micro unit, just where it's needed...
I've had my USB cable connected to what I believe is a USB 2.0 connection on my computer, and I often see the "not connected" dialog box. Each time this happens, I disconnect the cable from the Zen Micro unit, then reconnect it... Bells and whisltes sound, and I'm connected again, until a few minutes later I get the "not connected" dialog box yet again... Is this a normal procedure?
Now, tonight I plugged the USB cable into what I've always considered to be a slower USB connection point... Mybe that's why the transfer took so long? But it stays connected indefinitely... no "not connected" dialog box.
I've been having other transfer problems through the USB 2.00 connection point. I downloaded 23 tracks to my Zen Micro yesterday afternoon, and three of the tracks didn't make it... Frustrating as hell...
I'd appreciate any comments from my peers, since everyone here has more experience than me...

koochiching,
Try turning off the Media Sniffer feature from MediaSource and try updating the firmware again.
