What am I doing wrong? I do a standard text book module upgrade (Download the updates, put the updates in the modules folder, put the site in maintenance mode, and run update.php.) and it gives me error:
"An unrecoverable error has occurred. You can find the error message below. It is advised to copy it to the clipboard for reference.
Please continue to the error page
An error occurred. http://domain.com/update.php?id=9&op=do (no information available)."
It's been doing it forever! I have tried to remove the modules completely from the folder and then re-upload the fresh ones, but then it gives the same error. The logs don't tell me any real useful information about what happened either. Also, when I am supposed to "select my updates" none of the new ones ever show up from the drop downs...
What am I doing wrong? I need these updates so bad!
Help please?

may also want to mention the versions of the modules you are trying to upgrade from.
Without the new modules in the mix, can you run update.php ?
Upgrading to:
webform 6.x 2.6 from 2.3
views 6.x 2.3 from 2.2
imagefield 6.x-3.0-alpha4 from 3.x-dev
imageapi 6.x-1.3 from 6.x-1.x-dev
filefield 6.x-3.0-alpha7 from 6.x-3.x-dev
content_profile 6.x-1.0-beta3 from 6.x-1.0-beta2
admin_menu 6.x-1.3 from 6.x-1.1
Are you trying to update
Are you trying to update them all at once? I tend to upgrade modules one at a time (or has a group of related modules).
Even one at a time it still
Even one at a time it still errors with the same message. Most of the time the "new" updates don't even show up. I can select a version from the drop down and even if I select those it still errors, no matter what version I select, or even if I select nothing and just run update.php with nothing really updating it errors. I tried installing a fresh update.php file too and still the same error.

you are NOT supposed to be messing with the drop downs. If you have you should revert to the back up you took before you began trying to update.

Not all updates require
Not all updates require database changes so sometimes there won't be anything selected in the drop downs. Also sometimes updates require more than one change so sometimes you have to run update.php more than once to make sure they all go through in order.
upgrading
In general (and especially true for troublesome upgrades) perform each module upgrade one at a time and disable (but NOT uninstall) beforehand. Also, as already stated, use the default dropdown version selections.
Great. Thank you folks very
