Problem to update Boot Camp 2.0 to 2.1 on WinXP

When I user "Apple Software Update" on XP,I get error "Erro ao aplicar Transformações. Verifique se os caminhos de transformações especificados são válidos." In english is something like "Error applying transformations. Make sure the paths of specified changes are valid.".
When I do download update file, same error happens...
Any one have this problem?

Some key phrases on the packaging:
"Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
"Now Includes Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security Technologies"
"For PCs with Windows 95 or earlier, or PCs without Windows"
The disk itself reads:
"Includes Service Pack 2.....Version 2002"
So it's a full install package that I'm using (comes in a blue box) and not an OEM version (even though I've tried that as well).
Be sure that "now includes Service Pack 2" does not mean it's simply a separate file on the disk. Look on the disk to be sure there is no file labeled SP2. Early versions shipped with SP2, but not as part of XP.
My DVD says, "Windows XP Professional With SP2"

I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help. Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out. --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

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.

Hi iamlucasking,
I recently have this same issue. Can you elaborate on what you did to solve upgrading to Boot Camp 5?

Update Boot Camp 3.3 to 5.1 on Mac Pro 3,1 (2008)?

I currently have Win 7 Ultimate 64bit running on my Mac Pro 2008. Boot camp version is 3.3 although OS X is 10.9.3 Mavericks. I recently installed a flashed AMD 7950 which works great in both OS X and Windows 7 although I seem to have lost the ability to automatically sleep in Win 7. I'm using latest AMD drivers but that hasn't cured the scheduled sleep issue (I can make the Mac sleep manually without problem). The only other changes have been the usual Windows updates. At this point, I can't determine what's preventing my Win 7 install from sleeping so I'm contemplating upgrading the boot camp drivers from 3.3 to the latest to try and narrow down any potential conflicts.
My concern however is Apple's lack of official support for the early 2008 Mac Pro's and Boot Camp 5. Is there a specific difference at the hardware/driver level to preclude me from skipping BC 4 and upgrading straight to BC 5 drivers in my Mac Pro? If I do run into driver conflicts, can I downgrade to BC 4 without screwing up my current Windows installation?
Many thanks for your help.

You may be able to use Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 provided the hardware is not significantly different.

Can't update Boot Camp from 3.1 to 3.2 in Windows 7 (32-bit)

The update starts to install, then I have to restart to finish updating, but when I do just that and fire up Windows 7 Boot Camp still tells me it's version 3.1. THis happens when I update via Apple Software Update. When I download the installer package it tells me the following: "The function you want to use, is on a network source which is not available." But I downloaded the package! Where else would it be? So until now I am not able to use my Magic Mouse in Windows 7. Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks in advance.

When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

Windows 8.1 Not Working Properly after Updating Boot Camp Drivers to 5.1

Hi all!
Recently I had a problem with the sound in Windows 8.1 using BC v5. That problem was resolved by updating the Boot Camp Drivers to 5.1. Now I've more problems than before.
1. Some service are not loading at all at the startup (which did before)
The Boot Camp service is not loading automatically at startup, other Windows Services are not loading at the startup after updating the Boot Camp Drivers (Windows Update)
2. Microsoft Office cannot verify license for the product.
This problem is due to the services that won't start automatically. I can't even do a repair of MS Office 2013... Even though it's a legal version of MS Office.
There are many many more problems I think... I just haven't discovered them yet which is very very annoying. When I was using Windows 8.1 with the Boot Camp Drivers version 5 there were few bugs than now...
Please is there any notice of these errors? Or am I the only one who is experiencing these errors??? Please give me some answers!
Thanks in advance!!

I updated them by downloading the zip file from the Apple site...
I've just updated Mac OS X and it seems that this was the solution... Everything works fine! (For now)

System Crash after updating Boot Camp beta 1.3 to 1.4

After dowloading the latest BootCamp version 1.4, I double clicked on the icon and the Installation started. I have an option to upgrade the BootCamp currently installed in my system which is version 1.3. And so I clicked on the "Upgrade" button, I waited for about five minutes but then nothing happened. So clicked on the "Go Back" button and just cancelled the installation. I restarted the system and then the screen just went black and the BSD something prompt appeared. I restarted several times but the same Black screen with the BSD prompt happened. I called up support and was able to recover my system after reinstalling the entire OS. The support guy told me they already got several calls with the same system crash problem after updating the BootCamp. Just wondering what just happened?

I just bought the new Mac OS Leopard, it already comes with built-in Boot Camp.

Problem with starting Boot camp

Hi all,
when i try to use boot camp assistant(open boot camp assistant and click continue) it say 'you must update your system soft ware before using this setup assistant' evebn though I have updated by system using Software update option. Please help out with this problem.
Thanks..

This solved my problem...
I recommend going into your Disk Utility and under your hard drive on the left side click on the macintosh HD and then on the top make sure you have Journaling 'enabled.' (It's highlighted in green on the top menu bar in the disk utility box.)

Windows xp Update/boot camp???

can i get the windows xp update and use that to make boot camp work or do i have to get the full windows xp that is $200?? i am asking this because i just found a 50% off windows xp upadate so it would only be $50 for me to get that compared to the $200 that i would have to spend to get the full windows xp.

Hi I also have the same problem on a 1.87 MacBook Pro 1 GB RAM with firmware updated and OSX updated as specified by BootCamp. Unable to install just out of the box windows XP home edition. Same error. "Session3initializationfailed"
"Stop:0X0000006f(0xC0000020,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000"
The error comes right after it says "Starting up windows".
I read some other posts, but i don't understand what a disc image is or how to make one. How do you make a windows xp disk image and burn it to a CD?
Please help
ThankYou

EFI problem related to Boot Camp

Hi I'm new to the forums,
I'm having problems booting into my windows partition on my MacBook. Everything was fine until I had a recent power failure while using Windows 7 for office work. My Macbook just turned off with no warning. Upon turning on the macbook I get the "No Bootable Device" black screen.
I figured the Windows partition corrupted itself after the power failure. I proceed to delete the windows partition via Boot Camp Assistant in OSX, divide the hard drive again, and go ahead with reinstalling Windows 7. But here's the problem I can't seem to figure out. When formatting the BOOTCAMP partition in the Windows Installer to NTFS, I run into this error:
http://i49.tinypic.com/1043i53.jpg
http://i48.tinypic.com/167mux4.jpg
http://i49.tinypic.com/1zxulo1.jpg
Probably the entire hard disk corrupted after the power failure? Okay, so I freshly reinstall Snow Leopard deleting all the contents on the HD. I even performed a complete format using the Zero Out method in Disk Utility. When the OSX install completed I divided the partition again with Boot Camp Assistant and ran the windows installer only to run into the same error like pictured above. Tried this method again but also ressetted NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Still no luck.
So I'm thinking some part of the HD isn't working. I remove the HD from the macbook and replace it with the original 80GB hard drive that came with it. This time, instead of installing OSX, I formatted the hard drive in FAT32 with Disk Utility, and proceeded to install Windows 7 without OSX. I STILL get the same error though. Can't ever get passed this error. Arghh. I guess its not an HD problem so I replace my 250gb HD back in.
Did some research on google and decided to run rEFIT for its custom boot screen. For the heck of it I decided to run the Windows Partition that was listed on boot screen. Here is where I run into this error:
http://i49.tinypic.com/2mq6og5.jpg
It says: "The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume."
Could this be an EFI problem? Is something corrupted in the boot rom that is restricting me from booting into the windows partition? I already performed a reset for the NVRAM/PRAM and SMC.
I've tried to reflash the EFI again but OSX won't let me. It says: "This computer does not need this update"
Anybody have any suggestion to what I should do? I'm way out of warranty and have no Apple Care. There are no Apple Store within a 100 miles.

Hi,
I am not sure what to suggest regarding the errors that you are having but I am also running Win7 on my Mac. When I first got my MB, I used BootCamp but I quickly changed to Fusion and then to Parallels (which I like the most) - primarily so I could boot into OSX and still have access to my PC VM's. Maybe you should look into switching your PC environment to VM. Most of the VM software has a feature to 'snapshot' your VM session. This way, if your MB should abruptly power off, you can always revert to one of the snapshots without having to re-install. Anyway, good luck I hope you get the problem resolved.

Unable to update Boot Camp to 3.1 on Windows XP

I'm trying to fix the scrolling issues with the Magic Mouse by updating to 3.1 on the Windows XP side, but it says I must have version 3.0 first. According to my Mac I'm running v3.0.4. Does that mean that Windows is running the same version? I would assume so.
And I'm not finding a Boot Camp version 3.0 for Windows.

Have you tried updating the Mac software in XP, Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks/AppleSoftwareUpdates ?
If you did then go here, try downloading the 3.1 and 3.2 updates, 64 OR 32 bit, and see if you can manually install them: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
You don't mention what computer you have so take a look at the rest of the downloads as there are a few computers that have a specific updater for similar trackpad, etc, problems.

After 10.8.3 update, Boot Camp Assistant not recognizing my 64-bit Windows 8 disc

Hello all,
Yesterday I got back from spring break and found out there was a new update to ML (10.8.3). After reading a bit, I found out that the new update supported Windows 8 via Bootcamp, so I uninstalled the old Windows 8 I ages ago via Boot Camp Assistant, and updated my OS to 10.8.3. Then, after attempting to install Windows 8 via Boot Camp Assistant, now it rejects my legit copy of Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, with a message saying, "Need 64-bit Windows 8"
A few months after Windows 8 came out, I read up an online guide to install Windows 8 without Apple's official support and it WORKED just fine. I just wanted to reinstall using the official support this time, and see what I get. Haha.
Please help me if you have a solution to this. (No way buying another copy of Windows 8)
Thanks.

Had this problem too, found a solution.
1) Download the 64bit Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx)
2) Go through the Boot Camp process, selecting the downloaded .iso as your image.
3) As soon as your computer restarts, hold the option key. Boot back into OSX.
4) Go through the boot camp process again, BUT only ticking the first two options (in other words, don't touch the partition) selecting your original Windows 8 copy as your image.
5) Reboot while pressing the option key, select the (in my case) USB.
6) Proceed as normal - worked for me.

MBP Firmware Update = Boot Camp and other errors

Hey everyone! I'm a college student in Oregon and a proud owner of a Macbook Pro 15" 2.16ghz since last April. I have had no problems until the latest firmware update. Everything was great until I couldn't start up the MBP at all. I talked to Applecare and they made me force boot into Safe Boot and delete all my startup items and magically, it was starting up again in Mac OS X again. I thought after that, that all my problems had been solved but more seem to be coming to surface.
Because I'm an engineering student, I have to have Windows on my MBP so I installed Boot Camp in August and everything went without a hitch. Windows XP Pro installed great and I installed the driver cd. After the firmware update, I've been getting some weird things happening. For instance, whenever I start up and hold the Alt/Option key (like it says to do), right after it plays the Apple sound, you can hear things spinning up (like normal) but then slowing down and this faint echo of the Apple sound that happens three times. After holding the Alt/Option key, it still doesn't show the Boot Camp selector screen so then I restart and then, if I'm lucky, it'll just go straight to the selector screen and I can go from there.
One more error is that I'll be in Windows and go to adjust the brightness on the keyboard and the computer will lock up for 2 seconds and instantly restarts and get stuck in boot. I have no idea why it does this.
I have all recent updates. I have reinstalled and repair the drivers in Windows. Any help? Thanks!

Hey, I have been having what seems to be similar problems. You can go under "My questions" and see the problems I have been having. Basically troubles installing Windows XP. Hopefully when Leopard comes out it will fix all this.

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.
