[update needed] at startup

Whenever I reboot my MacBook Pro (late 2011 running 10.9), I get the following message to one of the other users (not me) [update needed].

Someone knows how to fix this?

ChangeAgent salvation,

I understand that one of the users on your MacBook Pro receives an error message "update needed".  It is possible that the user needs to update their password for the computer.  With the other person sitting next to you, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Apple and select System Preferences > users and groups.
  2. Click on the lock below the list of users and enter your administrative password.
  3. Have your other user click on their account, and then click change password.
  4. Ask the user to change their password and save the changes.
  5. Click on the padlock to prevent further changes.
  6. Restart the computer.

Please reply to this thread if the problem persists after updating password for this user.

Take care.

  • Do not load, stop, "update needed"

    Hello

    My MBP early 2011 has been acting for the past two days. He started does not load, the LED does not illuminate, and the computer would not recognize to be plugged. Then he started closing in the medium used. He did twice in the last hour. When it restarts I get the attached image "update needed" on my login screen. I tried to do an SMC update addressing battery problems, but that did not work. I am located outside of the country for the next days 50 so all advice that could save my computer until I can get to the Genius Bar would be much appreciated.

  • Cannot retrieve disc Time Machine [UPDATE NEEDED] because

    Hello

    I have a Macbook Pro with OSX El Capitan.

    I have an external hard drive with a bunch of set with time Machine backups and I want to do a restore of this disc. I've always been able to restore it by booting the computer while pressing the option key and select the disc, where it would take me to an options panel where I could start the recovery process.

    But when I try to access this disk now, it shows me a login with a user page called "[UPDATE NEEDED]." What should I do to skip this step? How can I make this work?

    Thanks in advance

    The backup volume is encrypted. To start off, you must enter the encryption password, which is stored in your keychain. Launch the Keychain Access application and looking for it under the name of the backup volume.

  • Installation says 'successful', however, same updates needs to install over and over again. (KB2518864, KB2633880 & KB2572073)

    Hi all

    original title: install said 'successful', however, same updates needs to install over and over again.
     
    Hope everyone is doing well.  This just happened this morning and try to find solutions but seems I can't find the right one.
    So I got the "shield of Microsoft", letting me know that I have some new updates available.
    1. Update for .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x 86 (KB2518864)
    2. Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x 86 (KB2633880)
    3 security update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x 86 (KB2572073)
    I installed the following updates and he "succeeded".  A few minutes later, the shield pops up again asking me to install the SAME updates.  I did it again and once more "managed".  A few minutes later, the shield popped up again (same updates).  This time, I installed it, my computer re-setting, however, the same updates need to be installed again.  I'm ignoring the shield right now.
    Thoughts on that?  This means - it is NOT installed correctly?  How can I fix it?
    I have a netbook, Windows XP laptop.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    It seems to be a mess of some sort on the server. Until that which is high to the square correctly, follow these steps.

    We will empty the download folder.

    Start > typeRegeditdans cmd & press enter

    type in
    net stop wuauserv

    NB. which temporarily stops the automatic windows update service. Your next restart of Windows, it will be again.

    Go to Windows Explorer.

  • Blue screen of death after the update installed at startup upward.

    I have windows xp sp3 after installed updates don't know which ones, because the installed when I stop and 52 of them there I now get a blue screen of death which says:

    Stop: c000007b {bad image}

    The application or DLL? \c:\windows\system32\winsrv.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

    I can't go to the safe mode get the same error and same with the last known good configuration. I can't even to safe mode command prompt, system, or debug mode recovery still giving me the same error. I repaired windows 3 times already and the same thing happens each time after that some update that I don't know he messes all this. Give me advice. I have antivirus Iola system mechanic. I think just to wipe the entire disk and do a clean install if you do not have anything else to tell me I'll do it, but I don't know if that even the problem will be solved because there seems to be a problem of windows software update. I also notice from the internet explorer 7 installed it stops working a few flashes upwards on you whenever you try to open it up if it's maybe part of the problem too. I do not plan to let internet 7 install go into all this time.

    Install the updates one at a time or 5 at the time may not be a bad idea.  Then when it breaks watch you and see if one of those is eager to replace your winsrv.dll file.

    You said you DO or DO NOT have to System Mechanic configured to run at startup?  Sometimes after installation of the updates, who see the new files (and if they are obsolete), can interpret the new legitimate files to be a threat.  If you could get started and uninstall that (at least temporarily) that would eliminate this possibility of this equation of many variables.

    You should make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

    You see, Microsoft support engineers won't tell you how to do this either - since there is not an article of KB Microsoft Bing and link to.

    If you have a SATA drive, which will give you another challenge because you need to maybe get into BIOS and temporarily change the disk other than SATA configuration mode so the Recovery Console will be able to see, replace the suspicious winsrv.dll file, change the SATA drive and reboot...

    First, do the XP Recovery CD of Console and if you are able to use a system of work to ensure that the CD you made at least boots (you don't have to "do" something with it), which would be a good thing.

    Here's how:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  • Windows updates lead to Startup Repair whenever I restart

    Hello.

    This issue was irritates me for some time.

    It started when my Skype would not display the log in page, Skype was working fine before. My Internet Explorer 9 does not display pages. Therefore, I tried to get IE11 of Windows Updates. At this time, Windows Update does not work and I found out, I was missing the TustedInstaller.exe, so I had to copy a computer from my friend of the same type.

    Windows Update started to worked fine and checked for 147 updates for me to install (when I came to my computer, Windows Update has been disabled on the not to check the updates).

    I installed them, and when it asks me to restart, I go and do it. However, the percentage of "Configuration of Windows Update" was stuck at 15% (now it is stuck at 30%). Then restart my computer it asks me to start repairs. I do repairs and I think it worked. However, none of the updates to install. I try to update again, but start repairs continue to come back. I can restart my computer without doing the updates. But when I restart to make updates, start repairs.

    I have a Windows 7, 64-bit, SP1.

    Hello Arjun,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft community.

    According to the description of the problem your computer stuck at startup repair after installing Windows updates. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. So I would say that you want to run auto repair before you reinstall the operating system. To perform the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    To run the Startup Repair tool, see the links below for more details:

    What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Startup-Repair-frequently-asked-questions

    If the problem persists, try to run auto repair from the Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) using the installation media and see if it helps.

    When you use the recovery (Windows RE) environment to resolve startup problems, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Since you are unable to launch desktop and stuck on auto repair loop, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then perform an automatic repair. If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    I hope this helps. If the problem still persists, post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

    Hello Wanda.

    One command, but lets see what we can do to whittle the list down. First, dial-up internet connection is slow, so keep that in mind that we work here.

    Second, almost all your startup programs are valid and advised to load at startup of Windows. Some possible changes:

    (1) If you need not a specific to Java, such as might have the game that you are trying to play, so you don't need to have it is launched at startup.

    (2) regarding the Adobe programs, why do you have Acrobat on your computer? Do you need to create PDF files? Adobe Reader which has many freeware alternatives that are faster, used to read PDF files. So if you need only to read PDF files, you can stop Acrobat from loading at startup.

    (3) other startup programs are all legitimate. And remember, just because you do not start a program at startup, does not mean that you cannot start later if you find that you don't need it.

    (4) the problems you encounter to "all sites that you visit" could be a function of malware. You don't have AVG Antivirus running on your computer just? I recommend do you a scan in depth and then put in quarantine and remove any infections it finds.

    (5) after you run the virus scan, I suggest that you try to download and run these two scanners. First MalwareBytes' Antimalware, here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.  Secondly, SUPERAntiSpyware, here: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html. Quarantine and remove all infections they find.

    (6) after doing this, restart your computer and see how it works. Please post your results here, and if you have any questions during this process, post here and I'll help you. Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • TEMPRO Utility from Toshiba and driver updates needed?

    Hi I'm a basic user and not that technically minded can install, uninstall windows updates programs but have been little disconcerted by this Toshiba Tempro tool.

    Do I really need to use it as am really satisfied with the way my laptop works, no graphic problem (so do I really need to update my driver), starts without questions its not work fantastically and what scared me more on the use of this tool is, I play a computer game called The Sims 2 and my other desktop computer , I did some updates on advise of a tech support agent and it messed up parts of my game.

    So now you have scared, terrified, in fact, not to use anything other that of windows updates touch wood have been harmless to my game on my desktop for the 18 months, it has been connected to the internet.

    So can someone honestly tell me it's 100% necessary to use this tool that I surf the net, e-mail, play my Sims 2 game, write letters (then burn to disk or copy of flash player as not connected to the printer) and it's really he don't need to use this tool.

    Hello.
    Okay, to be honest with you, if your laptop is working well and that you have no problem or something like that, then I can tell you, that you have no need to update the drivers or utilities.

    Just for that, when you really have problems with your hardware or things are confused. But it seems to me, you are happy with your machine, just as it is now.

    Hopefully, I could help you not to get too worried about all that.

  • Qosmio x 870 WLan driver update needed due to WLan problems

    Hello

    I have this laptop for 3-4 months now, and one of the problems are annoying. My WiFi works good sometimes and on another totally weird days.

    As an example, the indicator shows 3 of 4 bars, but i had no connection. When I start chrome or firefox, nothing does. After a reboot its works normally. My router works with an another old toshiba laptop and my pc.
    I checked with avast and malwarebytes anti my laptop and it should be clean.

    I saw that toshiba updated all the drivers, but they are too many of them. But I don't know which ones do I need to install.

    Are those driver display toshiba even as nvidias packages or something is missing?

    I want to update too, because some games get better performance. Should I use nvidias driver or those provided Toshiba. Another son, I saw that I must update the first intel and NVIDIA driver. Is this fair?

    I tried a few months ago to install this driver on my pc, but lenovo own a pilot too and it didn't work. I don't want to 'destroy' my laptop ^ ^

    I hope someone can help. Sorry to ask again, I have not found good forum :)

    > I saw that Toshiba updated all the drivers, but they are too many of them. But I put t see those that I install.

    You must take the one that is available for the wireless network adapter.
    So what wireless card you have? You can check in the Device Manager in the network adapters box.

    Also its really interesting to know what Qosmio X 870 - xxx you have exactly?

    With regard to the question of display driver:
    This should be discussed in another thread that you have started.

  • Satellite A10 BIOS update needed!

    Hey guys, my Satellite A10 guard restart whenever I stopped him. I talked to my friend and he said there's a BIOS problem, and I should be updated. So I downloaded the latest version of Toshiba and run it. It told me to insert a disk. This wouldn't be a problem but my A10 is not a floppy drive then how am I ment to upgrade the BIOS of my computer without a floppy drive?

    Hello

    For your model of laptop ago just traditional BIOS update and you need a USB FDD for it. In my opinion, you can check on ebay or somewhere there FDD cheaply or you can contact the Service partner.

    It takes about 10 minutes for the BIOS update, and you can do it alone. It is very easy. As I said, check if you can find a used floppy drive. It cannot be expensive.

    Also, you can borrow one from your dealer or your business!

  • Satellite A660-155 freezes and needs of startup repair or does not start

    Hello, in the middle of the month of August, I bought a satellite a660-155, PSAW0E-00U00DEN S/N 5A214647K.
    It is registered under warranty until the Aug2011.
    After less than a week, it refused to start.
    I rang support and they recommended that I use the recovery discs to restore to factory condition. I did and spent the next 3 nights reload software and my backup disk data.

    Since then he refuses sometimes to start the hard drive with a relative error that it cannot rfind and then ask which drive to boot from. If I select the hard drive, it starts later. Sometimes when running he crashes and then restarts.

    Last night, after that it had not been used for a few days, I woke up he "sleep" mode. I logged on okay, but then the blue logo 'circly' comes on, spinning away happily, and nothing else (just for logging on the text). After 30 minutes, I pressed the power button to turn off because the cell phone was totally insensitive.
    On commissioning, I got a white screen for 30 minutes, then the Startup Repair option.
    I launched it and check start lasted almost an hour and an hour, then he said, trying to repair. After a few hours, I left and went to bed. This morning, he showed the guest of logon and connected properly, as if nothing had ever happened.

    I lost confidence in Toshiba laptops, (I am responsible for computer SCIENCE) and I've never seen this problem before on a so-called quality machine. I only ise it fot simple e-mail/internet/word documents.

    All I can conclude is that there is little material defective (hard drive) that stops responding intermittently.

    I sent support at 07:00 this morning, but have not had a response.

    Can you help me? This machine needs ideally replace or repair collection, back in working condition 100% reliable. Could someone please contact me to see where I go from here?
    Under the law of consumption, you have a duty to rectify my sad situation, that the flaw exists again.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the info!
    Seems to replace the HARD drive would solve!
