Os update failure system reverts

get a failure when updating and system has to revert. I restored the system to original and still have the same problem. The system tells me it has updates. I tell it to go ahead which takes hours and then it fails. Anyone have any suggestions.
I have 4gb memory 2 dimm, 320gb hd. Upgraded from Windows 7 home premium 64 bit to windows 8 with no problem. The updating of windows 8 is constantly failing. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Loosing hair from all the scratching.

There are too many updates to do at one time, it drives the computer crazy.
Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshoot-problems-installing-updates#1TC=windows-8
Update 5 at a time starting with the Security updates first. If those 5 fail to update try 1 at a time until you find the one that is giving you problems, when you do, hide it and continue with the next 5. Do not install the optional updates for now.

Windows 8.1 update failure Mac Mini 2012

I currently have installed Windows 8 from a Winclone backup which was created from the a clean install complete with updates from the Windows 8 Installation disk on a Mac Mini late 2012 and I'm having issues updating to 8.1. When trying to install from store, it reboots to the blue screen with error 0xc000000e which on occasions I have had to do a hard reset from as the wireless keyboard won't work, whereas other occasions it will allow me to start in another system, reverting to Windows 8.
I've tried to use the upgrade setup which won't accept my product code and create a Win 8.1 usb by running the Wn 8 upgrade setup, exiting it after entering the product code then running the 8..1 setup which then creates the usb but during setup it won't accept my product code either which I can see from other users is not possible to use an upgrade version anyway.
How do I go about installing 8.1 from here? Preferably I would like to update the current Winclone backup I'm using instead of having to do another fresh install, if anyone can help I'm open to suggestions.

Do you have installed Paragon HFS+ for Windows?
Uninstall it and retry the update....
It worked for me!

Windows 8.1 Update Failure : We couldn't complete the updates, Undoing changes

Yesterday I built my first computer and I installed Windows 8.1 on it, everything was running perfectly fine until today. This morning I had an update notification and I installed it, about half way through the update an error occurred and it said it couldn't
complete the update and it was undoing the changes. I left it on that screen for about an hour and nothing happened. I tried finding what the update was, so I went to recently installed updates, and there was about 40 of them from just today. Whenever I tried
to uninstall any of the updates, it said error, preventing me from deleting any of the updates. I was wondering if anyone could help me try to uninstall/re-install this update.

Hi Kmanxx,
The update failure might be caused by a variety of reasons such as connection issues, incomplete Components and firewall. For troubleshooting, specific error code of the failure update will be helpful.
You also could find installation failure events and error code in log files, such as WindowsUpdate.log (C:\Windows\ WindowsUpdate.log) and CBS.log(C:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log). Here you first want to search for “error” in your logs. This will search for
Error entries. Focus on the day the installation attempt occurred. Refer to your time line of update log, find what error happened. Of course you could post your log content and we’d like to give it a look.
How to collect the specific error code of failure update:
We can do this by viewing your update history.
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (or, if you're using a mouse, pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen and moving the mouse pointer up), and tap or click Settings.
2. Tap or click Change PC settings, and then Update and recovery.
3. Tap or click View your update history.
View failed update error code.

Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 Update failure- "Error Applying Transforms, verify that the specified...

I have ignored this issue for long enough. I have Adobe CS4, with Acrobat Pro version 9.3.4. Windows 7. Acrobat updater pops up on my machine, and when I execute the update requested, the updater gives me the update failure message, with code 1604, "error applying transforms."
I have seen solutions posted for this tranforms message, but it was a problem with Acrobat 8. I have seen no solutions as of yet for Acrobat 9, so I thought I would post.
I also tried opening Acrobat 9 Pro, and under the help tab, I initiated "repair". I get the same transform error message as above. Any advice anyone? Should I just uninstall Acrobat 9 Pro and reinstall using my CS4 disk?
Thanks for the help!

If you have original CD with Acrobat installation, copy all files with extension .mst from this CD to the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\[ProductCode] if this is 64bit system
or
C:\Program Files\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\[ProductCode] if this is 32bit system
where [ProductCode] is a unique value which identifies your language version of Acrobat 9 Pro.
If this is EFG version, it should be {AC76BA86-1033-F400-7760-000000000004}
If location does not exist, create it.
2. If you do not have original CD and cannot find .mst files, provide the exact Product name including language and I will provide further instructions.
Good luck

any idea ?

I did the same thing, TAC support said they've had like 20 people complain about this. He said "there is no reason to update the boot code on a 3005 model. It is only needed on the 3015 and higher models to support RAM chips larger than 256MB." TAC support said DO NOT UPDATE the boot code on the 3005.
I suggested that they make note of this SOMEWHERE in their documentation. He provided me with some hidden low-level commands to erase the boot code, but as he said the 3005 doesn't need v4 of the boot code, and the boot code hasn't been tested for it, it's possible it would just break the concentrator. He then added the only way to 'fix' a damaged boot code is to replace the entire unit. He suggested we not touch it anymore, and leave the boot code running as-shipped.

Really frustrating update failures. Slowed down my PC by 1000 times

Hello, I've been using windows 8 from its beta days. But after upgrading to windows 8.1, every major update seems to fail. I've also looked into the history and tried installing them manually but it fails after the stage "copying packages to the windows
update package". And if this isn't bad enough, my laptop takes about 20-25 minutes to shut down. It keeps showing "preparing updates, please don't turn off your computer".
I am getting really frustrated since there is nothing I can do about this. And this doesn't seem to be the first time, it happens every time there is a major update.
Also after this update failures, i seem to have other issues such as
Wifi stops working after 5 minutes of youtube streaming
chrome crashes more often than ever
performance in general has been absolutely awful
None of these happened before. Also I do not have any viruses or malwares.
Currently failed updates.
KB2887595
KB2919355
Should i just downgrade back to windows 7? Or is there a permanent solution to this problem.
Also when I install the update manually, the error says "The system cannot find the path specified"

Hi,
Are there any error code? please also check Windows\logs\cbs for the detailed information.
for KB 2919255, this is a known update , we call it Windows 8.1 update 1, you can refer to this link ans see if it can help you
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/install-latest-update-windows-8-1
You can also clear the software distribution folder, then install the updates again.
At the Command Prompt type the following commands one at a time:
net stop wuauserv   hit enter
net stop bits     hit enter
Now browse to the C:\Windows\Software Distribution folder and delete all the files and folders inside.
net start wuauserv     hit enter
net start bits    hit enter
Meanwhile, keep your windows uo to date before installing the two updates. KB 2919442 is the prerequisite to install KB 2919355

I have recently acquired an update for my mac OX the program being the snow leopard, i have been forever inserting the disk only to have it ejected by my mac, hence, i am unable to update my system with snow leopard, what can i do, as i have just paid out money for something which

Worked like a charm and resolved my problem totally. The only issue I had is that, unlike the Computer (Mac OS). the iPad doesn't give constant visibility to what it is doing (feedback), so I wasn't initially sure it had done anything.
When I opened my emailed message with .vcf file attached, and tapped the .vcf attachment icon, I saw activity on the icon for just a few seconds, then it reverted to the original with nothing apparently happening. After about 30 seconds, the secondary menut popped up indicating the transfer of 1200 addresses would be completed, if I approved the action. Another 10 to 15 seconds then transpired before the completed Contact list appeared on the ipad. So you must be patient, if you have a large Addressbook. That's reasonable,but unexpected lack of feedback left me wondering, like so many other things on the iPad.
THank you for the assist. Apparently Apples Mac Genius people did not know this procedure, and I will pass it on to my local Apple Store Instructor.

"Firmware Update Failure", please help

Okay so my brand new 20GB iPod photo refuses to have the systems software loaded onto it, everytime I try and use the iPod Updater (yes I have the newest version) it says: "Firmware Update Failure. Disk write error." I've got it connected with USB 2.0, it shows up as a removable storage device in my computer but doesn't show up at all in iTunes.
So if any of you know what's going on please give me a hand.

JamesBond said:
That means that USB2 port is not compatible with the iPod?
I don't think so. More along the lines that the iPod is not USB 2.0 compliant, or properly certified, or it has a bug somewhere.
Basicly if a device is USB 2.0 compliant, it will work with a USB 1.1 port, just very slowly.
from www.usb.org, if a "device" has passed the certification and has earned the proper "High Speed USB" logo http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/logo/usbhs125.gif it also HAS to work with a USB 1.0 port otherwise it won't earn the logo.
Now, this begs the question... has the iPod passed it's tests and earned it's High Speed USB certification logo? I can't find any of Apples products that have the logo, can someone point me to them?
Apple is a memeber of the USB Implementers Forum, Inc (and only has one person that is a member).
You can find some good information about USB at www.usb.org. Specificly that it is no longer refered to as USB 2.0, but as "High Speed USB" (just semantics)

IOS 5 update failure on 3 Devices

For the past year or more, I haven't been able to install updates from iTunes to my iPad, and IPod Touch 3G and 4G. I keep getting the network connection time-out issue. However, I've been able to successfully update all 3 devices by directly downloading the updates to my computer, and installing from there.
That worked fine, until now. When iOS5 came out, I directly downloaded the update files like before, and tried to update manually. The updates all failed with the same error message - "The iPod/Pad could not be updated. An unknown error occured (3002)." I'm aware of the server overload issue in the immediate wake of the iOS5 release, and took the advice to wait awhile to retry the update process. But it's now almost a week later, and after literally dozens of attempts to install this latest iOS release, they keep failing with the same error message. For what it's worth, I have the latest iTunes release (installed and re-installed), and have IOS 4.3.5 on the iPad and iPods. iTunes and Windows Vista diagnostics says everything is fine with my network connections and settings. I have tried disabling firewalls and antivirus security during the updates, and it makes no difference.
Does Apple have any real solutions to this mess (lots of other users are still having similar problems I see), or are some users devices permanently relegated to running older operating systems?

Sigh. Yes, thank you, I have the correct updates for each device, downloaded directly from Apple. I know how to install them directly from my computer, that's what I've had to do for the past year or so. As I said, it always worked, until now. My question is, why doesn't it work anymore, and what is Apple doing to address this, and the multiple other update failure issues that users are having with iOS5?

After Effects patch update failure

Think Vantage Update Failure to Install

Are you experiencing "n Packages did not install" messages from Think Vantage System Update after
it has completed updating your system with Microsoft Vista Update Modules (KB XXXXXX)?
This has occurred more than three times after having installed Vista SP1. It is troubling because it seems that System Update is failing to install necessary KB updates.
The most recent failure followed an attempt to install three Update Modules. I checked them out and found that they were pre-SP1 hot fixes. For example, KB 932063 was a hot fix that Microsoft issued to fix five wireless issues in the pre-SP1 environment.
This practice by Lenovo raises two questions:
Why is Lenovo promulgating pre-SP1 hot fixes in a post-SP1 environment without giving notice to uses that the updates are not appropriate for SP-1 machines?
Why does Lenovo promulgate for general installation hot fixes that Microsoft recommends be installed only upon the occurrence of certain symptoms?
After the first occurrence of this type of System Update failure I phoned technical support. The technician told me that I had to call the pay-per-visit support line. When I told him that this was a new practice that was instituted after the particular Think Pad (a T60) was purchased, he argued with me.
These practices are Lenovo management issues. They should be remedied at once.
slcastner

I've had the same problem with trying to install SP1. Any 'pre-sp1' hot fixes are included in SP1 anyway, so I don't know why SP1 won't install. I have also tried to update some intel drivers and they failed, and the message said to contact my system manufacturer for the appropriate update. It's a tough way to do business.

Updating Lenovo System Updates

Lenovo Application Interface update will not install. Seems to download OK. Tried installing maually and later but neither works. What's up with that?
thanks

What is your machine type and model? What operating system and version, ie win7 pro? Was this update via System Update or manual download from Lenovo. If manual download, what is the .exe name of the install package. What are the symptoms of the install failure, ie any message, error screens, etc.

Windows update fails after reverting to factory image

you need to save it as a .reg file instead of a .txt file, so the icon changes here is a handy link on how to achieve this: http://www.mediacollege.com/microsoft/windows/extension-change.html

I recently reverted my computer back to the factory image which is Windows 8. I previosly had upgraded to Windows 8.1 and was trying to upgrade again to Windows 10 and that kept failing so I reverted back to factroy image to get a fresh start. Now when I try to get back to Windows 8.1 so that I can then upgrade to Windows 10, the Windows update keeps failing and I am stuck in Windows 8. The Windows Store says I can update to Windows 8.1 but that I have to run all the updates for Windows 8 first. After loaing the factory image, I run Windows Update and the Windows Update program does install a new Windows Update Program. After that, I run Windows Update and it finds 165 updates. When I download and install those, they fail and the system reverts back to Windows 8. Will 165 updates, is there a certal order I should install them? Is there another way to get back to Windows 8.1?

I see lots of people asking questions about the "white screen" app store update failure. I see no answers from Apple about this...What is the problem, and what is the solution?

I see lots of people asking questions about the "white screen" app store update failure. I see no answers from Apple about this...What is the problem, and what is the solution?

It's a problem that Apple is having with their App updating system. The best solution is to be patient, and wait for Apple to solve their systemic problem.
