Why can I not update these drivers in Windows Boot Camp?

Hi. I own a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
I also have a CD for a Windows 7 Home Premium single full-install 32-bit.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
On that page, it says that for my computer, I need Boot Camp 4 to update my drivers, but when I downloaded it and tried using it in my Windows partition, it said something like, "These drivers are not intended for this version of Windows," or something to that effect...
I also tried running the drivers my Mac automatically downloaded for me, but that said they were only intended for 64-bit
That same link said that Windows 7 Home Premium was supported, so I downloaded the newest version of Boot Camp Support Software 4 and tried it and ran into my problem. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks!!!

I was able to solve this myself by realizing: (a) Windows 8.1 upgrade had changed my display adapter to a Windows Basic Display Adapter, (b) AMD's web site doesn't apparently host installers that work for the Retina iMac (yet?), and (c) the Boot Camp package that Boot Camp Assistant adds to your Windows installer contains a version of AMD Catalyst that will work and will replace the errant driver:
The installer is in <WININSTALL>:\Bootcamp\Drivers\ATI\ATIGraphics\Setup.exe
Run install
Verify in Device Manager that the Display adapter is AMD... M29{0,5}X
Finally, I was able to update resolution:

Why can I not update my iPad first generation to the latest software?

Which version of iOS is supported is a decision made by each
individual software developer. If there is an app that is not available
in iOS 5, contact the developer to see if they can provide a version
compatible with your iOS.
Perhaps one of these links may help:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Why can I not update my CS 6 programs to Mac OS X

I am having problems with updating the latest Updates for my CS 6 programs *here PS and Ill. fx. And the notice says to contact costumer support, but only get a few Q's and A's.
HOW do I get in direct contact (or chat/mail) with costumer service of ADOBE_

Hej again Steve
Ok sorry again
But you seem to be quite into this field. (and I've unfortunately been
'out' for a while). I used to be up to date, but now, it's all moving so
fast, and if you're away for a few years then you're (screwed)
I've been trying to get in touch with Adobe mostly for 1. update of my
programs because I seem to have a lot of 'faults' in each (crashing, screen
moving and such)
BUT 2. also because I want to join CC and with the 40% off (as I have an
original CS) but when I enter info, it will not accept my serial nr. NOW
after your guidance I came across this site which shows that I am granted a
''free'' CC. Am I reading this right. _ ? I am no idiot, but yes, in the
computer field _ I am a designer and a damn good one, but all the techichal
(that is another language _ and heck, we all have our fields_ I go to a
mechanic to get my car fixed, you?
Just smiling
Look forward to hear from you

Thank you Steve / at least it seems that I can get a ''chat'' going.
A few years ago I could mail them but now not that and no phone (or rather
when I call long distance I never get thru) what I most want is personal
contact. Because even if they list 20 or something common Q and A's mine do
not follow in on any of the categories. BUT thanks again for the link.
Maybe you can help me with others ... Just a thought
I\m trying to upgrade my PS, ID and Illustrator CS6 / and I know from
previous Adobe guidance, one should not just take the latest. I seem to be
successful with my ID (but yet to prove when I test it, which I haven't had
time to yet) BUT my PS and Ill come up with this (see attached file).
Hope you can help. Anyway, you have so far.
Because you see - I have an original CS6 and want to upgrade to CC soon.
AND they offer a 40% discount if you already have the original. BUT when I
type in my serial nr. it won't register this. I've been trying (no kidding)
for a year now, if not longer. AND this is not in one of their Q and A's
Best

HT1338 why can i not update my software from 10.6.8

why can i not update my software from 10.6.8?

Because there are no updates beyond OS X 10.6.8.
If you want to upgrade to a later version, you have to buy it. Mountain Lion is $19.99 US.

Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

You have to make the selection active.
Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
Another way is to use a stroke:
Open your picture file
Go to Select>all
Open a blank layer above this
Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

HT4623 Why can I not update my iOS 5.1.1 to anything higher. Apps I had that worked, no longer work because they require higher than 5.1.1

I have an iPad with ISP 5.1.1 which I can not seem to update to anything higher than 5.1.1.... The apps that we're working on 5.1.1 but are upgraded to ISP 6 and/or 7 will no longer work. When I try to open them I get a message saying App expired. Wth??? Help plz... ( first apple product)....

I Don't understand why the apps would expire. Apps that work in iOS 5 should still work on your iPad. Did you try updating these apps and it was unsuccessful?
And and I've never heard of apps expiring.

HT4914 Why can I not update my iTunes Match subscription from my iPad? Must I access from a PC?

I have been getting emails syaing my iTunes Match subscription will expire soon and if I do not renew I will not be able to access my music on iCloud. Also, it says I cannot update my account from an iOS device. But I no longer have iTunes installed on a PC - I only access from an iPad or iPhone. What can I do?

I always get an error message "Cannot update iOS software" or something to that effect everytime I try. I've tried plugging my iPad to my laptop computer and then my computer directly to internet connection (we have a router that allows WiFi access, so I thought I'd try to bypass the router instead), but this did not work. I've tried restoring my iPad via connected to my computer through iTunes, that worked for a short time and was able to update the apps I wanted, but soon after one of the apps stopped working properly, and then the apps I wanted to get from the App Store just wouldn't install or load...Instead they would be having "Waiting..." for the longest time until I give up and delete them. I've tried restarting my iPad, no luck either. I've also gone through the Reset process of "Erase All Content and Settings" i.e., Restore, and like mentioned above, it worked for a little while then it went back to square one, as I mentioned a sentence or two previously.
I've no idea what is going on, why it's not working, or anything. I just wonder if it's got anything to do with a slow internet connection (we don't have high-speed internet access), or something else I haven't found that may be just under my nose.
I would love some help and input into my situation, all and any ways which allow me to keep my current iPad (which is the New Generation one), not having to trash it and replace it with a new one.
Have you tried to restore as a new device? Maybe a glitch exists on the restored backup, try this:

Why can I not update my iOS on my 3G phone?

I have followed all the instruction downloaded the I tune on my hard drive and tried to update the iOS on my 3G phone but after sinking and backing up my data I got a message saying the update can not be done ????

You said it is an iPhone 3G... but the iPhone 3GS is listed in your signature. This is an important difference... can you please clarify which model you have?
iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.
iPhone 3GS can go to the latest iOS 5.1.
If you check your current version under Settings > General > About > Software Version, and your current OS is higher than 4.2.1, then you have a 3GS. If you have 4.2.1 and iTunes says it's the latest version, you have a 3G.

Why can i not update to the new version of iPhoto and Garageband through the appstore?

When trying to update, I keep getting the pop-up:
"We could not complete your request
There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)".
How can I update to the new version?
Im running on the OS X Lion 10.7.4 system for Macbook Pro I have the Version 9.2 of iPhoto and 6.0.4 of Garageband. If that's of any assistance.

Because you don't. You update using Software Update or by going to the Apple web site.
I think iLife is being updated from MAS now, thus the need for a AppleID to update it.
One person had iLife and tried to update with a differnent AppleID and it rejected it, seems they bought a open box machine and iLife was installed using another AppleID for display purposes.
When one reinstalls Lion, and has to install iLife, they have to go to MAS to do it.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
