Can't Install Boot Camp Drivers

I installed Windows Xp Professional SP2 on my Laptop, but I lost my Leopard install disc that came with my MacBook Pro, and therefore i cannot install the Boot Camp drivers on my Windows Partition.
Is there any way to get a different copy of the .exe file that contains the Drivers? I need them in order to be able to connect to the internet and to get sound? Does anybody know?
Thank You.

Hi and welcome to Discussion,
Apple provides the BootCamp Drivers only on the Leopard OSX DVD.
The download of the BC Update 2.1 will only install if you have installed the BC Drivers from the Leopard DVD (which are version 2.0).
Since the OSX DVD is also necessary for certain maintenance tasks in OSX, like repairing your OSX volume for example, you really should call Apple, provide them with the serial number of your Mac and ask them to send you a replacement disc.
Usually they do this but are charging something like 30 USD for it.
Regards
Stefan

  • Can't install Boot Camp Drivers on Win 7 (Fusion)

    I'm really sorry - I know this has been asked a thousand times before, but every response I've found so far either didn't work for me or it was too technical for my limited knowledge. I'm on the verge of tears after having tried to solve the problem for over 5 hours. It's past 2am here in Australia and I really should go to sleep but this is driving me insane!
    Yesterday I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Air (13" 2011 model, running Mountain Lion) using Fusion 5. I need to run Windows-only applications for work, which also requires accents (I am a translator).
    As I didn't go about it using Boot Camp, I tried following this step-by-step to get my keyboard working properly: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&d ocTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1005578
    No luck.
    I downloaded the drivers using Boot Camp onto a USB stick formated as MS-DOS (FAT). I tried running setup.exe but keep getting the horrible "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model" no matter what (tried the "Troubleshoot compatibility" trick, tried re-formatting my stick and downloading the drivers again... nothing worked).
    I then tried to run AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe only and got an installation wizard. Windows says installation is complete, although I can't see this driver on the program list (should I?) - I can only it see it when I go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features (from there I get the option to uninstall it but not to open it). HOWEVER, when I attempt to add an Apple keyboard, I can't see any, under any language.
    I have tried alternative solutions like building my own keyboard layout but that didn't work either because I can't make the accent functions work in order to set up the layout!
    Adding a foreign keyboard layout to Windows just gave me a very random set of strokes that will drive me insane if I have to type them regularly.
    I just want to be able to use the standard strokes for accents on both OS:
    Alt+e for á
    Alt+i for ^
    Alt+c for ç
    Alt+` for à
    Alt+n for ~
    Can any good soul help me? I'm not an IT person, just someone who used to be married to her Mac (a very happy marriage) and who is now about to throw the laptop out of a window. Please HELP!!!

    That article was also my starting point and I have followed those steps again and again and again. I haven't slept, I haven't done anything other then try to make it work for more hours than I can count. I came here for help because that solution is not working for me.
    The region and keyboard type settings simply don't have the Apple keyboard layout listed. As I said, someone on the Fusion forum tried to follow the article's instructions too and he managed to get it working because he COULD run setup.exe (Boot Camp Drivers) on his machine, and I CAN'T. Yes, it is all explained in that article... but the drivers WON'T INSTALL, I get an error message saying "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model".
    First you said it wasn't physically possible for me to install the drivers, then you said I should just follow the article. Well, the article clearly says "Install the Boot Camp Windows device drivers in the virtual machine" which you just said couldn't be done! I want to cry. I should have just bought a second laptop, this is too painful.

  • Can't install Boot Camp drivers on Early 2010 MBP

    Hello there, so I'm having a problem installing drivers as you can see from the title. I was trying to create a Boot Camp partition on my girlfriend's MBP. She has the 2010 early one. Now we got windows installed on there with no problem; however, we can't seem to get the drivers that allow her speakers, webcam, etc. to work.
    Initially we tried using my Snow Leoperd OSX disc because as far as I know she has snow leoperd too and she can't find her original OSX disc. I have an early 2011 MBP so when I tried using the boot camp drivers on my OSX disc it would not work. It said the drivers on mine weren't made for hers. Whatever no biggies, so I google an alternative and tried to download the drivers from boot camp manager back on her Mac Partition. It said that the drivers could not be found or could not be downloaded. Something to that effect. So now that we can't download the drivers, or use the original disc, what other options do we have?

    Hello Arroyo1291,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! Given your situation I strongly recommend you to call Apple Care support at 1-800-275-2273. When you get in touch with an AppleCare representative, ask them for a replacement Mac OS X install DVD (I think Apple calls them Fullfillment Disks). Give the representative your girlfriend's MacBook Pro serial number and tell them that the Mac OS X installation DVD that came with her computer is now missing and that you want a replacement DVD. Also, make sure to ask them if the replacement Mac OS X install DVD contains the Windows Bootcamp Drivers on it like the original Mac OS X Install DVD that shipped with your girlfriend's MacBook Pro.
    One last thing, if your girlfriend's MacBook Pro is not under the AppleCare extended warranty, they may charge you a nominal fee on the replacement disc order.
    Best of luck!

  • Can I install boot camp drivers using an automated command for deploying with sccm

    I would like to include the boot camp installer as part of my SCCM task sequence.  I have imported the drivers but they don't all install and in turn it fails to complete.
    In order to include the installer I need to let the installer run unattended and I cannot find any command line switches for that purpose.

    The Bootcamp setup.exe is a silent Installer. See the following part from AutoUnattend.xml.

  • Can't Install Boot Camp 3.0 on 64-bit Windows 7 system

    I have 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate running on HD#2 on a Mac Pro 2,1 system (2006). I've installed the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers after I installed Windows, I forget why I needed them, maybe for an old Apple keyboard.
    Anyway, I can't install Boot Camp 3.0 from the Snow Leopard DVD - the installation runs to completion, but generates various error messages, one of which says that Boot Camp 3.0 64-bit can't be installed on this system.
    I really need 3.1 now because my Magic Mouse won't work, and I can't sync Mobile Me.
    Is there a fix or a workaround to upgrade Boot Camp on this system? Should I use Windows Uninstall to get rid of Boot Camp 2.0 first?
    If it matters, Windows 7 is the upgrade version from Vista Ultimate.

    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Click on "Downloads", (underneath the big hard drive icon), scroll down a bit and there is a link for "Boot Camp:Upgrading to Windows 7" and another link for Version 3.1 which you need for 64 bit to work right after 10.6.4(?). I would just try downloading the Boot Camp 64bit 3.1 file and try that first if you already have Window's 64 bit installed.
    Don't forget you need a WIRED keyboard AND mouse if you need to reinstall Window's.
    Here's another link that is all over the place on which machines and which Windows works and what doesn't...

    Hope that helped.....

  • Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7

    I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
    I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
    However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
    I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    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.

  • Unable to install Boot Camp Drivers for Windows

    Mac Pro (2) 3.2 Xeon quads
    Mac OS 10.5.2
    Boot Camp side - Windows XP pro x64 w/SP2
    Step 3 listed in the instructions for setting up Boot Camp is to Install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows. At this point Windows recognizes my Mac Install disk 1. I get the following message: "the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again." I am not sure if I needed to do something to install the Service Pack 2? My firmware is at MP31.006C.B02 and 1.25f4. When I checked for the latest firmware, it returned a message that it was not necessary.
    Maybe the XP pro x64 is not compatible?

    I did install windows xp sp2 32 bit on my macbook pro 2.2 GB and I'm getting the same ...
    When trying to install boot camp drivers, a message came up saying:
    Boot Camp requires that your computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
    The only option it gave me was to click the "OK" button. When I clicked OK , another message came up saying:
    Boot Camp Installer completed. The install encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again. Click "finish" to exit installer. I am running a brand new full retail version of windows xp service pack 2. Applecare will not help blaming Microsoft and of course Microsoft is blaming Apple. What a bunch of useless crap!! Can anyone help??

  • Can't install boot camp(Am in desperate need of help!!!)

    Ok, the story, I will try to make it short:
    -Got my Imac a month ago. Installed Boot Camp Vista Home Premium 64 Bit. No problem. Ran smooth.
    -Later I got VMWare fusion and decided to check it out. Didn't like to to much, but now I can't install Boot Camp.
    -When using Boot Camp assistent, it creates my partition(which 200 GB) Fat32! The problem is, when it wants to boot to install. It ejects the Vista installation DVD! No matter what I do.
    -*If I hold down the ALT key(option button) during start up*, it will show a grey screen with two options(The Macintosh HD and the Windows Partition). Selecting the Windows partition gives a black screen with an error; *"non-system disk press any key to reboot"* Only problem is that the keyboard was dead or frozen so had to crash the machine.
    -Pressing D on start up to enable the *Apple Hardware Test* showed no problems.
    -Pressing Alt + Cmd(command) + P + R to *delete the NVRam and PRAM*, did not have any effect. I think I did it right though, because there came a second start up sound.
    -Pressing S + Cmd(command) on start up to run *User Single Mode*, with the command; "/sbin/fsck -fy" did not reveal any problems either, except for a weird long messege that kept coming up, and which interupted the line I was writing on several times. The messege was as follows: +":/root# AppleUSBEHCI[0x6e8t000]:: Found a Transaction Past the completion deadline on bus Oxfd, timing out!(Addr: 6EP:4)"+

    -Tried reinstalling Leopard with the Leopard Installation Disc 01, but it also ejecred upon rebooting to install! < This lead me to believe that it's my Superdrive that is messed up, but it plays DVD Movies just fine, and I even just now just burned the Vista installation DVD to my desktop in a .dmg file. So I am not sure if that is it!
    -I tried taking a different Windows Vista DVD(Windows Vista 32 Bit Home Premium) to see if it could install from that. It could not, and ejected upon startup like the Leopard and 64 Bit Home Premium Vista Installation DVD!
    I am new to Mac, but I am desperate after getting boot camp to work again. I have litterly been trying to figure this out for days, and I can't get it to work. I tried to call Apple but they couldn't help me.:( I could really use your help. I just want it to work.
    And speaking of working, I haven't been to work for two days, because I have been home trying to figure this out. It's critical that I get boot camp working. So please, mates, can't you help me.
    I simply don't know what to do:(

  • Can I install Boot Camp on an external disk?

    I have a MacBook Air ( version 3,2) and I am running out of space to install Boot Camp. I use Windows 7 by the way.
    Can I install Boot Camp on an external disk? How do I go about doing this? I have an Apple external super drive and I have two USB ports on my computer.
    Can I install the mac operating system on the external disk including the Applications and then install Boot Camp as per usual? How would I get the Windows 7 program to install on the external disk using the superdrive that I have?

    BootCamp will only install on an internal disk.
    If you are wiling to do some work,  do some Google searches, use third party tools, and make your own custom Windows install disc, then you might be able to get what you want, but there is no guarantee that it will work on your specific hardware.
    I researched this topic a year or two ago and found people claiming that using rEFIt and custom built Windows install discs, that they were able to do what you seek.  After reading through all the instructions, I found it much easier to upgrade the HD in my MacBookPro to a 500GB drive and just installed my BootCamp on the spare 180GB space from the upgrade.  That took me a little over an afternoon, and it was fully supported...

  • 2010 Mac Pro Boot Camp - Refuses to boot Windows after installing Boot Camp drivers

    Hey all,
    I have a quad 3.2Ghz 2010 Mac Pro with a Radeon 5870 and 8 GB RAM.
    I have 2 10000RPM WD Raptor drives, the first drive is my Lion boot drive. The 4th bay contains the second Raptor which has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed. Bay 2 has Time Machine, bay 3 has a Windows backup drive.
    I had first installed Windows and the Boot Camp drivers a few months ago and everything was humming along smoothly. Monday I tried to boot into Windows and it crashed immediately after the black Booting Windows screen started to change to the login window. This happened repeatedly. Nothing changed on the system that I am aware of. Whenever I tried to boot windows again, it booted into the repair mode. That did not seem to work because after running the repair it would still not boot.
    So I did what is usually required of Windows, and that was to reinstall. I reformatted the hard drive, ran Boot Camp assistant, and started the install.
    Everything was peachy so far, so I tried to reinstall the Boot Camp drivers (4.0). Did a reboot. Same problem. Doh!
    So I did ANOTHER reinstall, and everything was fine. But this time I tried to install the Boot Camp drivers off the os install disc that came with my Mac (3.1). Still no go!
    So finally I did my third reinstall and after that I did not install Boot Camp drivers. However, I did load up the CD and individually installed drivers for the Apple Mouse, Apple Keyboard, Cinema Display, etc. No problems whatsoever. Everything is actually still humming along fine.
    So it looks like running the full Boot Camp install for some reason no longer works. Which means I am missing the Apple Boot Camp control panel, but that's not really a big deal. Althought it's quite annoying to not have the functionality of the special Mac keyboard keys like volume control, etc.
    Has anyone run into this? I thought it might be a hardware problem but my Mac OS X OS exhibits no problems whatsoever.
    Thanks!

    Thank you to The hatter.
    I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with a SSD and several internal hard disks. For some time I was trying to install Windows 7 on a fresh boot camp volume on a new WD 7200rpm 1TB hard disk. It was taking hours to install, and then I had a series of failures to reboot that proved permanent. The Window Repair utility would come up and took forever to repair the volume - but failed to actually do so, requiring completion reinstallation of the bootcamp volume. This occurred three times, between 1 day and 2 months after installation. I had already moved the Windows drive in to drive slot 1 of the Mac Pro.
    Eventually I gave up and installed boot camp on a secondary partition of the SSD. This worked fine, however is limited in capacity. So yesterday I thought I would try to install Windows on the hard disk again. The Windows installer took many hours to do its thing, and eventually a message came up that the installation had failed.
    I took your tip about possible hard disk failure, and ran Techtool Pro surface scan. It turns out that there are lots of bad blocks being reported. According to Micromat's documentation, the bad blocks being reported are those that may be in critical areas of the disk that cannot be mapped out. They recommend low level reinitialisation (with zeros) to map out the bad blocks, if possible. I am now running Apple's Disk Utility to do this, and fingers crossed that this reinitialisation succeeds, or I will have to replace the drive.

  • Can someone help me install Boot Camp drivers to Windows 8?

    Hey guys, I just installed windows 8 32 bit developer preview on my mac via boot camp. im not very familiar with exactly how boot camp drivers work, so i need a little help. First i will tell you what i have done.
    1. installed win 8.
    2. tried to run the boot camp 3.3.exe in windows 8. I used the troubleshoot compatibility option but an error camp up saying boot camp was already installed.
    3. then i rebooted holding the option key so to boot up in osx. i then extracted the bootcamp 3.3 files to a flash drive.
    4. after booting back to windows, i tried doing the compatitbility settings again with each individual file within the bootcamp 3.3 files. an error popped up saying something like "check to see if your hardware needs 32 bit or 64 bit version of this software." (i dont remember the exact wording)
    i did some googling but i figured that i could get professional help from you guys.
    I am going to classes all day so please be patient, because i wont be able to check this until later this afternoon.
    help is very much appreciated. thanks in advance.

    you need boot camp 3.0.x first before later versions can be installed;
    Or,
    I don't know what currently Boot Camp Assistant in 10.6.8 will also do a download of drivers.
    But other than change Properites and try setting "use Windows 7 mode" and such, I think you are left high and dry with whatever is in 8.
    And I use 8 on two of three systems. I left my Mac Pro @ Windows 7 for now but I much prefer Windows 8, yes.
    I would not have chosen or gone with any 32-bit version. As long as you have 3GB RAM or more, forget it. Use 64-bit.
    I have not seen or rather read any "success" stories with 8 and Apple drivers though.

  • Windows 8 crashes and with the error "kernel_security_check_failure" after installing Boot Camp drivers.

    Hi!
    I've got a new 27" iMac (late 2013), and I was going to install Windows 8.1 (64-bit) to be able to play a few games.
    Everything went smoothly (installed normally via Boot Camp Assistant), and after the Windows setup, the Boot Camp drivers needed to be installed. After this, the computer rebooted, but crashed at a blue screen with the error called "kernel_security_check_failure".
    It rebooted a few times on its own, but after a few times, I got some options, and I chose to "refresh" the Windows 8 install, meaning it would reset the install while keeping my files (even though I didn't have any, as I never got to use it). This took some time, but it worked, and it booted into W8.
    The Boot Camp drivers had been removed though, so I had to reinstall them. After they had reinstalled, the computer rebooted and the same blue screen with the same error hit me.
    Something tells me that some of the BC drivers are messing things up. I can't find any information on this elsewhere.
    Would it be possible to install only selected drivers, to eventually find out which driver is causing the problem?
    All help is greatly appreciated!

    I finally gave up, reloaded everything, this time, using WIn 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise.  After I did the updates, patches, Norton 360, shut computer down and connected the external drives, and booted up...and got the BSOD.  This time, I went to Microsoft and downloaded the Windows Debugger, and think I may have found the problem...NORTON! 
    Probably caused by : SYMDS64.SYS ( SYMDS64+71be6 )
    Am conrtacting them, but, here's the Debugger output:

  • Can't Install Boot Camp 3.0

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and I am now trying to install the 3.0 Boot Camp drivers in Windows. I booted up in Windows XP, inserted the SL-disc, and pushed the Boot Camp Drivers button. Shortly after this I get a message saying (translated from Danish):
    "The installation has finished.
    An error occured during the installation before Boot Camp was configured.
    You can try performing these actions later by running installation again.
    Click Done to end the installation."
    I have tried running the installation numoures times but with the same result. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Vista Desktop, won't do any good in Mac. I keep installers in one of the Downloads folders.
    Navigate into "Drivers" folder and look for Apple and BootCampx64 is what I ran. I copied into "Apple Software" folder:
    H:\Downloads\Apple Software\Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple
    BootCamp64 - that is the file, not "Setup" that I ran.
    I haven't used Vista in 9 months, in Properties -> Compatibility change that to run as admin and see what you can do. In W7 there is "troubleshoot compatibility mode" when Ctl + Clk on a program/installers.
    Apple's lack of support means no 64-bit mode in OS X, no support for Windows 64-bit, difficulty booting from 64-bit Vista SP1 or later including Windows 7. So I gave up and built some PCs just to run Windows 7 and do some testing. Even install there and then just move the hard drive over to my Mac Pro to run Windows there!

  • Can't Install Boot Camp Software on WinXp SP2

    Here's what I have done thus far:
    1. Partition HD such that windows has its own 30 gig partition.
    2. Install FAT32 Windows XP SP2 on the new 30 gig partition.
    3. Insert MacOSX disk that came with my brand new Mac Mini as to install Boot Camp and drivers.
    4. Installation begins but soon fails. The error message reads "Installation encountered an error" and goes on to state there may be a "problem with the package"
    5. I have tried deleting this partition, creating a new one, and installing XP once again, but, still, I cannot find any luck. I even tried using my old Mac Mini OSX disk (which isn't that old -- 10.6.2) to install Boot Camp and the drivers, and still no luck.
    One thing that I noticed was that when I am in my Mac OSX partition and I check the version of Boot Camp, it states 3.0.2; however, when in Windows attempting to install Boot Camp it displays version 3.1. Now, when I used my older Mac OSX install disk (10.6.2), the Boot Camp version attempting to install was 3.0.
    So, essentially, I am entirely lost. I simply do not understand what I could have done wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    first of to clear up the confusion.
    Apples BootCamp consists of two part: an OSX part which is the BootCamp Assistant and a Windows part which are the Drivers.
    These two parts can have different version numbers.
    The latest version of the BootCamp Assistant is indeed 3.0.2 and the lastest version of the Driver package is 3.1 (or later with the Mid 2010 released Macs).
    The problem and the error messages you receive make me believe that somwhow the optical disc drive in your Mac has problems reading the Windows part (where the Drivers are) of your OSX DVD.
    If you have access to a WIndows PC you might wanna insert the OSX DVD there and copy the full content of it onto an USB-Memory-Stcik.
    Back at your Mac insert that Stick while in Windows and copy the full content back onto your WIndows partition (C:) preferably into a new folder in the root directory (c:\Download for example).
    Regards
    Stefan
