Update Boot Support Partitions, how do I do that??

I have just carried out a Disk Repair on MBP and "Repaired Successfully" message came up but it is asking to "Update Boot Support Partitions", can someone tell me how I do that please??

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Disk Utility stuck on "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required"

    Tonight when I mounted my Time Machine drive (a WD My Passport drive), it failed to mount properly, and I received a warning from Drive Genius that it needed repair. But when I launched Drive Genius, the disk would not show up.
    Through a series of mounts, unmounts, and sleeping the computer, I managed to get it to show up in Disk Utility, so I seleted "Time Machine Backups" under the main listing for the drive ("319.37GB WD My Passort..."), and clicked Repair.
    The detail window showed "Volume repair complete" almost immediately. But for almost four hours now, it's been stuck on "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required."
    Meanwhile, Activity Monitor has been showing fsku_hfs taking 30%-85% of the CPU the whole time.
    Anyone have advice?

    Apparently not:
    Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
    But when I ran Disk Utility again this morning, not on the Time Machine Backup, but up the hierarcy on the level labeled "319.37GB WD My Passort...," I got...
    The volume Time Machine Backups appears to be OK.
    And now the drive seem to be OK.
    I think I'll still offload everything and reformat it.

  • Macbook not booting up so I resorted to Disk Utility...it has been stuck on "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required"

    So my Macbook was not booting up so I resorted to using Disk Utility...it has been stuck on "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required" for over two days.
    Has anyone else had to wait this long? 
    I have read that I should leave it until I get another message but I saw this reply on another site....
    "Hi everybody, the message: “Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.“ means: the Disk Utilities is telling you what it is doing: 'Disk Utilities': "(I'm) Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required (& I'm done with it)." So when you see this message, the DS (Disk Utilities) is done & you can close the application"...
    Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!

    Doesn't have to be another MacBook - any Mac with FireWire (400 or 800) will do. FW 400 to 800 adapters or adapter cables should be available from any computer store.
    Instructions for FWTDM -
    Disconnect all other FireWire devices from both computers before you use FireWire target disk mode. Do not connect any FireWire devices until after you have disconnected the two computers from each other or have stopped using target disk mode.
    To use FireWire target disk mode
        1.    Make sure that the target computer is turned off.
        2.    If you are using an Apple portable computer such as a PowerBook or MacBook as the target computer, plug in its AC power adapter.
        3.    Use a FireWire cable to connect the target computer to a host computer. The host computer can be powered on.
        4.    Start up the target computer and immediately press and hold down the T key until the FireWire icon appears. The hard disk of the target computer should become available to the host computer and will likely appear on desktop. (If the target computer is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, you can also open System Preferences, choose Startup Disk, and click Target Disk Mode. Restart the computer and it will start up in Target Disk Mode.)
        5.    When you are finished copying files, locate the target computer's hard disk icon on the desktop of the host computer and drag it to the Trash or choose Eject (or Put Away) from the File menu.
        6.    Press the target computer's power button to turn it off.
        7.    Unplug the FireWire cable.

  • I am having problems with my HD. It says updating boot support partition as required. What should I do with that?

  • Hi,  Had boot issue and got the following from DU repair function on Macintosh hd: updating boot support.....Error: Disk utility can't repair this disk.....reformat and restore backed up files. How is that done or do I go to Genius?

    In reference to question the computer gave no warning but lost internet connectivity.  I shut down for a while and when returned it would only boot to gray logo screen with spinning gear.  Ran disk utility and on Mac HD drive it stopped after "Updating boot support partitions as required". Then in red: Error: Disk utility can' repair this disk ....disk, and restore backed up files.   I'm running OS X 10.8 and had just updated the iOS about three days ago.  Not familiar with reformat process on MacBook Pro and would like some ideas whether I should go to the Genius Bar here in Sydney or try it on my own.   I have been using time machine to back up to a 1TB La Cie drive right up to the crash.   Thanks for any advice.

    Well it turned out the drive was shot.  Took it to the genius bar yesterday and they ran a test on the drive before trying the restore routine again.  Drive failed. 
    Replaced the drive and got the MBP back today.  Pretty quick and decent service once you get an appointment. 
    Now having trouble figuring how to do the Time Machine  saved files.  Have several applications which I'd like to keep but not sure how to trans the apps from my backup to the new.  Hunting for answers on that on the web.
    Thanks for you help, Eustace.

  • Boot-support-partition nach bedarf für das Volume aktualisieren

    Seit Sonntag erkennt mein MacBook Pro (13" Mid 2010/OSX 10.6.8) leider meine externe Festplatte (WD Elements 2TB) nicht mehr. Mir wurde geraten das Festplattendienstprogramm zu verwenden um die Platte zu reparieren. Nun steht seit 48 Stunden folgender Satz "boot-support-partition nach bedarf für das volume aktualisieren" da und die Leiste läuft immer noch. Das heißt das Programm hat sich nicht aufgehängt.
    Was soll ich tun?
    Ist es normal, dass es so lange läuft oder soll ich die Reparatur stoppen?
    Danke für die Hilfe.

    Moin moin,
    ich habe ebenfalls eine Neuinstallation durchführen müssen, allerdings unter MacOSX (Yosemite). Das Problem ist hier aber identisch, die Fehlermeldungen haben zwar eine andere Optik ;-) aber inhaltlich sagen sie das Gleiche. Auf der Download-Seite von Adobe habe ich ein Update für Photoshop auf 11.02. und Fireworks auf 10.0.4.1 gefunden, mehr aber nicht. Acrobat Pro 9.X gibt's nicht und z. B. Dreamweaver funktioniert nicht!
    Wenn ich was vom Adobe-Support höre, melde ich mich wieder.

    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.

  • I have iso5.1.1 some apps say update to 6.0 ,how can i do that? Or can I

    I have ipad ios 5.1.1 some apps say update to 6.0 ios or newer is there a way i can do that? Sorry not very computer savvy.

    There is no issue with iPad 1. I have an iPad 1 running 5.1.1....
    We have gone through several iOS 6 releases as well as several iOS 7 releases, so this is not somehting that is new. iOS 6 was initially released in September of 2012, and iOS 7 in September of 2013. When iOS 6 was released a year and a half ago, it was made abundantly clear, that the iPad 1 would not be able to utilize the new iOS.
    So, sorry you had to spend a lot of frustrating time on trying to update your iPad. But, there is no conspiracy here, and there would be no reason for any further citation concerning the iPad 1, since there have been numerous releases since it reached its maximum iOS level.
    Sorry,

  • Error 0:  how did my drive suddenly convert to FAT? & "updating boot..."

    I have four external Buffalo external HDs, 1TB each. This evening I was transferring files between them for about an hour when they suddenly stopped and I suddenly got an Error Code 0 message. When I found out what it was I was really surprised. What caused the drives to be recognized as FAT formatted?
    I've restarted the computer with no change to the drives.
    I reformatted one and now it works fine. I ran Disk Utility on them all and got a message at the end which reads, "Updating boot support partitions for the volume is required", yet they "volumes appear to be okay".
    Any ideas on this?

    I bought everything a year ago and I really can't remember if I had to reformat them when I plugged them into my system or not but I'd been using them until just an hour before without either of those error messages -- and I've filled up those drives on many different occasions.
    What I can't understand is what could happen to make the iMac read that error into them? Is it something to do with the new Snow Leopard? Is there anything I can do besides shuffling the data around and reformatting them?
