"null driver" freeze when installing bootcamp 2.1 ( 2.0) on XP

hi all,
i'm having big trouble updating from bootcamp 2.0 to bootcamp 2.1 on my XP home sp2 partition. Reason seems to be the same as when I went from 1.4 beta to 2.0: the null driver ( and later the ethernet driver). I got past the problem by simply copying the leopard upgrade CD content to my HD and manually deleting the null.exe and the other one, so it finally worked after lots of trying. But the 2.1 update exe from the apple download page does not have separate folders with the driver exe files that I can delete, so everytime the install reaches the null driver, I get a total freeze / crash.
I'd be more than glad for any help on this one.
Thanks!

Thanks!

Cannot install USB device, install wizard freezes when installing SiLib.sys

Hello,
I have installed LabView and all the software required for running a program for tremor evaluation. When I plug a TremorScope via USB connection it starts Hardware Installation wizard, but the installation does not complete and system freezes when installing SiLib.sys. The OS is Windows XP.
Do you have any solution how to finish the installation or what is going wrong. Thank you for your help.

Why don't you ask the vendor of the device? It does not have anything to do with LabVIEW.

The "find my iphone" app freeze when instaling

The app freeze when installing and now i cannot delete it

"Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

IPhone freezing when installing or uninstalling application during sync

hi,
I've been running to issues with iPhone freezing during install and uninstalling of Applications during iTunes sync. The installation or remove seems to complete after I force reboot iPhone, but sort of troublesome as I'm having to reboot iPhone for every app I try to install or remove. Also, when trying to install or remove application from iPhone's appstore, iPhone gets very unstable and the installation or remove of application never completes.
Is anyone running into this issue? Any workaround (maybe I need to use Mac instead of windows xp ... ?)

I think finally figured out the problem...
This was due to one of the application I had (purchased) installed called "Wisdom dictionary".
This has been taken off of iTunes already but apparently this application was causing other application to not install. The application is about 120 megs, and the company is currently investigating some memory issue related to expanding the installer. It appears to be Apple issue, they are in contact with Apple, but apparently there is no info from Apple when the issue would be addressed....
Anyway, without this application, my iPhone so far has been working pretty well.
It may be possible other large apps may have similar issues.... not sure.

Than they suggest to clean HD and to instal OSX.6 again.
Deleted HD. Try to do new installiation OSX6 from dvd, Imac freezes again during installation for several times at ca. 32 minutes to go.
What can i do?

You can attempt to reset the PRAM in the machine, but it looks as though there's a hardware problem. It's actually kind of difficult to determine if it's the graphics hardware or the mainboard, but neither are really servicable. You'll want to take it to get serviced.

Fatal error when installing Bootcamp

I am having trouble with installing bootcamp.
I have installed windows xp 32bit, and about midway the installation of the bootcamp drivers/applet, I get a windows fatal error:
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows SubSystem process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x7c9101b3 0x0052f29c).
The system has been shut down.
Beinning dump of physical memory
physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Gil
P.S.
Seems like the error comes right after it tried to install the sigmatel drivers...

I am having the same exact problem. The bootcamp install crashes at the same point as yours, and the "try it three times" does not work for me.
I had bootcamp installed on my 27" iMac i7; however, I could not install Microsoft Office 2007 or Wordperfect without removing bootcamp. Now I cannot get it to install again.
Manually updating the drivers using the disk works fine, except I still cannot get my printer to work because of this. It claims there is no USB hardware/drivers, even though all my other USB peripherals work just fine!
If anyone has a fix, please let me know.

Computer freezes when installing bluetooth driver

Hi
I've bought a bluetooth USB dongle with toshiba bluetooth software. The installation freezes at the very end of the progress bar for installing the driver. I'm using Windows XP V. 5.1 SP2. Comm ports currently in use are 1,2,3,5 and one called "BT Port" (COM65) which may be blue tooth but may alternatively be something to do with BT broadband which is installed on the machine. In device manager "Network Adaptors" shows "Bluetooth Personal Area Network" and Bluetooth shows RFBNEP, RFBUS, RFCOMM, RFHID and Generic Bluetooth radio. The Bluetooth local COM utility in Control Panel shows no com ports in use. Any ideas?
Thanks
David

Hi - thanks for input. Have found and disabled sony ericsson software from my old phone which apparently included a bluetooth monitor on COM 500 (although there was no reference to this anywhere else!).
I removed them completely anyway. Still getting the same result however. Last thing to be reported during the install is "Bluetooth Audio Device (WDM)". The progress bar gets all the way to the end and then it freezes - can't use Task Manager or anything and I have to do a hard reset.
I'm installing Bluetooth USB Adapter V2.0 + EDR off the CD. The dongle is plugged into a USB hub (not into the back of the computer - I've run out of USB connections at the back since they are full of things that can't be plugged into a hub).
The install does seem to recognise the device, however, since on one occasion I didn't have it plugged in. It asked me to insert the device about a third of the way through the install and proceeded ok immediately I plugged it in (and then froze again at the end).
Couldn't find anything regarding a "bluetooth monitor" - is this part of Windows? (no reference to it in Help Files). Getting frustrated as you can imagine!! Is there a more recent version of the stack software that I can download - I've looked right through the Toshiba site but can't find anything obvious.
Many thanks for your reply and hoping you have further suggestions
David

ThinkVantage System Update 5.02 problem -- System Update hangs or freezes when installing KB updates

Often after installing a KB update, System Update will restart the computer and then resume processing to install the next downloaded KB update. However, after restarting, it always freezes or hangs part way through the next KB install. After waiting 5 or 10 minutes, I click on "cancel."   System Update acknowledges cancellation but nothing happens, and when I eventually give up and select "End task" in Windows Task Manager, I am informed that "This program is not responding."
Clearly this is a bug, perhaps arising from an license consent dialog box that fails to pop-up. I have resorted to downloading and installing these KB updates one-by-one after a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my T400 model 2764CTO.    Service Pack 1 is installed and Microsoft.NET Framework 3.51, which satisfies Lenovo's requirements. I am running BIOS 3.11 and plan to update it, but would like to solve this problem first, as I would hate to experience a freeze during a BIOS update!
Anyone else having this problem, or any solutions?

DID you get the machine from someonelse, outside of Lenovo? DID you upgrade the original o/s?
what o/s?
==
KB are offered by microsoft, not Lenovo/su. Under a rare condition, SU will offer as KB. A known instance, where microsoft offers HOTFIX, but not for monthly update distribution. Lenovo has their version of this KB. Probably this HOTFIX fixes a problem in Lenovo land driver that needs the hotfix.
I am amazed at how many KB fixes show up for your machine!!!
==
Clearly this is a bug, perhaps arising from an license consent dialog box that fails to pop-up. << assumption, please docment.<<<
Always update your BIOS 1st, the Net frame (v4?). Then try the update land.
===
As I would hate to experience a freeze during a BIOS update
Dont BIOS update during a rain storm. or power fauilure. Always use a ISO (cd) version of this.  Download/burn this version in case. Then use the other version, Update from windows. (you now have a backup).
Please research your hardware install guide, as too how to RESET BIOS eeprom.  Get tweezers, change the jump prom clip. BIOS flash from 0. Jump prom clip back. Is this scary, yesl jumper is on mother board.
so
1 3 5
2 4 6
Plastic jumper is 34 56. Change to 1234, and you reload a bios from blank. You can enter UUID, serial number and fun stuff.
Do not loose the plastic jumper. Turn the a/c off. Have reading glasses. But this is the solution to what if BIOS update freezes. Also have a ISO backup of the previous release of BIOS on CD.

How to fix the mouse and keyboard freezing when installing Windows 7 on 27' iMac late 2013?

Hi, I have a question for u guys who can solve this.
I recently bought the new 27' iMac late 2013, and I installed some softwares and used it for few days.
Before I bought this I used the 15' Macbook Pro Retina, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I used the Windows for gaming.
So back to my question.
So I bought the new iMac and I was tying to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (with the same CD).
After dividing the partition, and other stuff, the iMac rebooted and I hold down the option (alt) key. I choose the Windows CD, and it said it is "getting ready to install Windows". I let it load, and the blue screen where you choose the language, time/location and keyboard input popped up. At the bottom right corner (at the same page), there is a button that said "Next (N)" which u need to click it to go to the next step. I was moving my mouse to click the button, but I realized that my mouse and keyboard was frozen. I tried both wireless and wired mouse and keyboard but they didn't work. There was nothing I could do. I hold the power button, (that was the only option) and tried my mouse and keyboard on Mac OS and it worked fine.
I thought something went wrong in the CD so I bought the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The result was same. It frizzed again. (I just wast few hundred $)
Latter my friend lend me his Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I tried it, and it worked, it didn't freezed on Windows 8.
The problem is I played Battlefield 4, Titan fall, and Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4 multiplayer doesn't work on Windows 8.1. Even though when it works on Windows 8, I prefer using Windows 7.
Dose anyone knows how to fix this freezing thing?
My computer is:
27' iMac late 2013 (bought it just few days ago)
I did no upgrades when I bought it, except the graphic card.
I bought the iMac in Korean Apple Store, and my Windows CD is in Korean, can that be a problem?
Please leave a comment when u think u can solve my problem.

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Good luck,
Clinton

Updating the Security Update 2009 freezes when installing.

I don't update with the Software Updater anymore because it froze while updating the combo pack for OSX.4.1-11. I just use it to see what I need then I go to the Apple Support Downloads and update everything from there. Well now I'm trying to install the Security Update 2009 and it freezes right at the beginning of the install. I've zapped my pramm and have restarted my computer a number of times now and nothing works. I have a 450mhz dual processor G4 PPC with 512mb sdram running os 10.4.11. Does anyone know why it keeps freezing and if there is something I can do to stop it from freezing?
Oh yeah and I'm also trying to update to Java 8 and the page to download it from has a 404 error. Anyone know where else I can download Java 8 from, I'll do some more searching on google but if anyone can post a link that would be awesome. Ok n/m about the link I found it here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10246230

Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk. Permissions repair can, and is probably best, done when booted from your internal drive.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.

[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

CD ROM Drive lost when installing iPod Nano

After installing my iPod Nano and iTunes my PC will no longer recognise it has a CD ROM drive.
Like a dummy I tried it on 2 PC's and now they are both stuffed!
Apple tech support don't have a clue.
I have uninstalled everything, even the CD ROM Drives and rebooted, hoping the plug and play would kick in but no luck - HELP

I now have a solution for this. I printed out the solution before it disappeared off the PB website so im quoting direct from my printout. If you are not familiar with using regedit then be careful or seek assistance.
Packard Bell PC’s
Yellow exclamation mark in device manager against CD/DVD drives and drives not useable/visible on PC. Can happen after attempt Ipod Nano install.
To fix involves running and modifying system registry editor
1 Click START then RUN type REGEDIT and click ok
2 Locate and then delete the following registry values:
HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SYSTEM\currentcontrolsset\control\class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-B FC1-08002BE10318}-
This string will be visible in the right hand pane of registry editor and will have a yellow folder beside it.
When you open the folder that has the above string immediately to the right of it then in the right hand pane of registry editor a list of values will appear.
Reading from top to bottom they will probably be a list of items each having an icon with the letters ab in red.
The list is
Default
Class
Enumproppages32
Icon
Installer2
Lowerfilters
Noinstallclass
Silentinstall
Troubleshooter=0
upperfilters
Now click on lowerfilters to highlight it then delete it,do the same for upper filters. When you’ve done this,drop down the file menu (top left hand corner) and click exit then power off the pc and restart)
If you’ve done this correctly all should be well,the nano should work and the DVD drives will be present.

Mac freezes when installing Dreamweaver CS

I've downloaded the current trial version of Dreamweaver CS
and tried several times to install it on a Mac running OSX. But
every time, when the installation screen gets to the point where it
says it is installing Dreamweaver CS, the progress bar freezes and
the installation doesn't complete. I've let it sit for a half hour,
but the installation doesn't complete.
I've tried uninstalling and it hangs too during the
uninstallation.
I have the most current OSX updates installed, and I've
downloaded Dreamweaver CS three times with the same result each
time.
Any suggestions on how I can get Dreamweaver CS to install
correctly?

IMac freezes when installing snow leopard

This iMac intel was formerly owned by a friend. i got it last week and he said I would own it if I could fix the two major problems:
(1) The LCD screen has alot of dints/freezed pixels when running linux, and these freezed pixels are roughly distributed on several horizontal strip zones. Please refer to the attached pictures. And when booting Linux, some words are wrongly displayed, which doesnot happen on my another PC which runs the same version of linux.
(2) Although there is the above problem, this imac runs well with Fedora OS 6. however, when I try to install Mac OS 10.6, it freezes on the first step of installation. More serious, there are distorts of pictures and more dints/pixels. some times, the cursor of the mouse is surrounded by some fixed pixels that move together with the cursor.
So my question is:
(1) Whats the major problem of this iMac, video card, logic board or the LCD screen? I do not believe the logic board ahs big problem, because this machine runs well with Fedora 6. Maybe both the graphic card and the LCD has problem.
(2) If the video card is faulty, can I replace it?
Thanks all!
