Hi, i have a macbook pro version 10.6.8 with boot camp version 3.0.4. I managed to install windows 7 professional x64 bits but however when i tried to install the drivers using the OSX MAC CD using boot camp, it prompt me boot camp x 64 is unsupported with this computer model. Then i tried the method by right click the bootcamp x64 and managed to install the drivers. However, i still couldnt manage access the internet and it prompts me no networking hardware detected...Any idea how can i solve it?
P.S i tried updating my bootcamp version 3.0.4 in mac os with bootcamp x64 version 3.1 exe but it shows me weird wording..
my bootcamp version in windows 7 is 2.1..

Uninstall 2.x totally
Use CCleaner Registry tool
Do whatever you need to to nuke the existing Apple programs and folders hidden here and there also.
BC 2.2 was XP and Vista only

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or Vista version in your Mac. Make sure you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 Also, if you have the Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade your Mac or the OS X DVD that came with your Mac, you can use it to install the Boot Camp drivers

    Hello
    I have a macbook pro 2011 13" that came with OS Lion (integrated not on a disk). I recently bought OS Mountain Lion of the app store and it is working fine. However I was a bit dissapointed in the battery so I decided to try and downgrade and completely failed, I froze the computer and when I restarted it it did not work. I went into recovery system and erased my disk and all that and went to re-download my OS. I was expecting to get the option to re-download Lion but instead I could only re-download Mountain Lion.
    My question is since my computer originally came with Lion can I reset my computer so I get OS Lion back instead of OS Mountain Lion?
    Thanks for any help. Any answer will be appreciated even if it is saying it is not possible.

    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
        1.    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
        2.    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
        3.    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
        4.    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • BootCamp 5.0 error on 13" MacBook Pro Mid-2010: "Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

    Installing Boot Camp 5.0.5033 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638) on Windows 8 x64 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 using BootCamp\setup.exe, I get the following message: “Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”.
    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 .
    Previous version, Boot Camp 4.0, causes bluescreens on Windows 8 (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20131524#20131524).
    Fortunately, it might be still possible to employ updated Boot Camp by launching “msiexec /i BootCamp.msi” from BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder using administrative command prompt (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813%28v=WS.10%29.aspx).
    However, new Boot Camp 5.0.5033 does not contain all the drivers for 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010. E.g. driver for NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller (labeled Other devices/Coprocessor in Control Panel) and NVIDIA nForce PCI Systems Management (labeled Other devices/SM Bus Controller in Control Panel) must be obtained at Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64 in older Boot Camp 4.0 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1634)
    According to Microsoft (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements), the MacBook Pro config (Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) exceeds Windows 8 x64 hardware requirements. Windows Experience Index for this laptop is approx. 5.1 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/what-windows-experience-index).
    Does anybody know, is there any technical reason why Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MBP Mid-2010?
    Is there a specific hardware/firmware deficiency in this MacBook model, incompatible with Win8? Maybe NVIDIA refused to provide Win8-compatible drivers for its chipset components (GeForce 320M graphics card though is still supported by latest notebook drivers available at www.geforce.com)?

    Thanks for the detailed explanation! If MacBook supports AHCI/SATA only in native “UEFI mode”, while reverting back to PATA/IDE in legacy “BIOS mode”, then it could make perfect sense to use UEFI to make sure that technology like Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is employed, as it may give noticeable performance improvements for certain operations: www.happysysadm.com/2012/12/intel-g530-nas-performance-part-3.html. I wonder how do you get Windows 8 x64 with EFI bootloader installed on MacBook?
    Simply choosing EFI Boot (“Some EFI platforms support both UEFI and BIOS firmware. On some of those systems, it is not always clear if the default DVD boot option is an EFI or BIOS boot option. On these systems, using the EFI shell command may be required. If you do not specifically start Windows Setup by using the EFI boot entry, the default firmware boot entry for BIOS may be used. If Windows Setup starts in BIOS mode on a combined EFI/BIOS system, the ESP and MSR partitions are not created.”) from Win8 x64 DVD when installing on blank HDD would yield “The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed" message. Also, if the hard drive was not in SATA mode during Windows installation, registry tweaking may be required before switching from PATA to SATA. Do you do registry tweaking and EFI bootloader configuration manually after a copy of Windows was installed in its dedicated partition in a regular way?

  • Cant install 3 or 3.1 "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

    Hello there, i got the latest mac mini in september last year (2009), with bootcamp 3.1 out today etc i finally fired up bootcamp, partitioaned, installed windows 7 etc.
    Now windows 7 is working, but when it comes to install the latest 3.1 update, the display driver installs, then nothing else happens!!! so i figured i need to install the old 3 version first of my leapord disk, however that just gives the error "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model".
    so i manually extracted the files from the 3.1 file "BootCamp3.164-bit" and tried running the "BootCampUpdate64.msp" file manually, this gives the error: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
    Arghghghghghghg!!!!

    This worked for me. I actually copied the Boot Camp folder on to my desktop and removed the ATI drivers prior to running the 3.0 Boot Camp. 3.1 installed with no problems after a reboot.
    Mine works after following ccarlise's steps above. The first time I did it (without removing the ATI drivers), it crashed and went into the blue screen. After rebooting, the screen res changed to 800x600 and if I remember correctly, the video driver became "unknown". In the Device Manager (Control Panel > System & Security > System), my Display Adaptor driver ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 (Microsoft Corp WDDM 1.1) had an exclamation mark on the item and needed to be "updated", back to the same thing.
    After rebooting, the original screen res came back fine and I reinstalled Boot Camp without the ATI drivers.
    Everything went fine from then on. The only thing is that in Apple Software Update, Boot Camp 3.1 still shows up as an option. The scrolling function on my Apple Magic Mouse works, so I'm assuming that the 3.1 update was successful...
    Thanks guys for the tips!

  • Error: boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model

    After installing win 7 x64 bit on bootcamp (on Mac OS 10.6 running x64 bit) I insert the Mac OS X DVD and run the setup file, and get this error:
    error: boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model
    Does anyone know what the issue here is?
    Thanks.
    Mac

    To get the Bootcamp64 to install, all you needed to do was copy off the OS X DVD to a folder in Windows, and then CTRL + CLICK on the install file and use Troubleshoot Compatibility.
    That is all if you got it installed.
    If you have trouble and cant' install and get "Select CD-ROM: 1 or 2" then you have another EFI related issue (Search Google or I have link) and need to reburn a modified ISO and DVD.
    I find the supported/unsupported falls strictly on EFI and nothing else, and is a real stretch of imagination.
    Windows 64-bit (Vista/7) adds supported for EFI and won't natively boot on Macs with older EFI only UEFI 2.x that came out in late '07 or early '08 is all.
    I guess too much to make clear why or how to get the installer to actually work. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on 2006 Mac Pro (unsupported) works great.

    Hi! After Windows is installed, (step 3 done) I get an error message when installing Windows assistance software (step 4). It says "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". Anyone can help?
    Version française:
    Je suis à faire l'installation et la configuration de Bootcamp mais rendue à l'étape d'installler le logiciel d'assistance de Windows (étape 4, disque préalablement gravé à l'étape 2), j'obtiens le message d'erreur suivant: "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" Quelqu'un peut-il me dire quoi faire? Merci pour ceux qui se donnent la peine de répondre! Caro

    copy the entire folder off the DVD to some where like Desktop (Windows) or flash memory drive
    Now find "BOOTCAMP64.msi" and control + click to see pop up menu and select "TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY"
    It has to do with Apple and Windows support for 64-bit OS using EFI and GPT (such as your Mac).
    Some MacBook models were and then were dropped from the list of "supported Macs"

    But I can't find a solution. Any suggestion?

    If you can grab Boot Camp 3.0 thru 3.x you should be able to get the drivers you need.
    Apple took more agressive steps to really lock out and lock down drivers from being used and installed on systems that did not fall under the guide of 'supported'.
    So if you have 10.6 DVD that does have Boot Camp 3.0 on it and you would need to update to 3.2, which use to be posted for manual download (so could do so even from Windows) if not thru the Apple Software Update utility in Windows.
    If you can find a more "no we won't allow you to" I have never seen it.
    And Google as best you can.

  • Get message "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

    I'm attempting to install Windows 7, x64 Professional, onto an equal partition on this Imac. I've always had trouble with this computer and an earlier model, but we just got a brand new computer and had no problems installing windows 7 on the new computer. I wanted to wipe this one (we had to manually locate and install drivers previously, with mixed results) and reinstall everything so that it would be my computer.
    After erasing and reinstalling OS X, snow leopard (full updates), I followed the bootcamp assistant, giving equal partition space to both os. I followed the instructions for updating windows, it's now fully updated with the standard windows updates. So, so far, both os have been fully updated, just nothing in addition. I've waited to install anything other than mozilla and a widget application.
    I've even tried using the install disk from the newest computer, with the same results. Any suggestions out there that might help?

    Can't install the Apple SETUP.exe off the OS X DVD in Windows
    Copy to folder first
    Navigate to Apple\Drivers\BootCamp64
    Control + click on the file, and select "Troubleshoot Compatibility" mode
    That will let you install the drivers.
    The iMac mid-2008, even though it had 64-bit processor, and even though MacBook and MacBook Pro could use 64-bit, and iMac has Penryn processor, it doesn't have EFI64 (UEFI 2.x). The MacBook was later dropped, I guess to differentiate?
    Anyway, it is possible.
    I thought you were having trouble installing and booting from Windows 7 x64, which when it does occur, is a more difficult issue.

  • Why? boot camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT3669 My Epson RX510 is included in the list of printers supported but on attempting to download the drivers using the method advised, I get an error message "... the software is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer ....".

    My (old) Epson RX510 multifunction printer is included in the list of printers supported by Apple, but on following the procedure advised for downloading the printer drivers for Mountain Lion and/or Lion I get the error message " the printer software is currently unavailable and to contact the printer manufacturer. However on going to the Epson web site I get the message to go to the Apple web site as all printer drivers have been covered in the Mountain Lion software updates.
    Can anyone please advise what is going on when the said printer is shown as being included in Apple's list of software included in Mountain Lion and Lion software updates?

    The fact that the Epson RX510 is currently listed on the Apple Support website as being supported is the frustrating issue.
    Go to;  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
    - then scroll down to the Epson section and eventually you will find the RX510 listed with Version 9.00 shown and "P" & "S" shown for printer and scanner drivers being available.
    PS: Sometimes you need to click on the "Software available" link to open the list of printers. It is then a fair way down the Epson list with the RX series.

  • I have a macbook pro OSX 10.5.8. My DVD player software 5.0.3 plays all DVDs without a problem. When I load a DVD from Netflix it shows that "the supported disc not available" on the blank, black screen?

    I contacted Netflix. They are unfamiliar with this problem. Anyone have any experience with this problem

    I have the same problem. I put a Dexter dvd from Netflix in my Macbook pro 0sx leopard. Nothing happened. Dvd player did not recognize the disk. To check whether the Dexter dvd was damaged, I put the dvd in my PC and it worked without any problems. I then put another dvd disk (Kubrick's Shining) in my Macbook and it worked fine, so there must be something in the Dexter dvd that messes up the Macbook. I've seen other posts specifically citing that the Dexter dvds do not work on the Macbook. This looks to me like a Showtime problem.

  • I have a MacBook Pro,OSX 10.6.8 with a different problem sign

    I was not clear on the description. I wanted to add a printer but do not think I had enough hard disk memory. Everything loaded and I restarted the computer.
    the screen came up gray with the apple then after a long time a circle came up with a diagonal line in the circle but the desktop did not come up. I turned it off, turned it back on holding the D Key to do a hardware test and it said everything was fine. I tried to reboot with the install CD holding the C key down but nothing came up but the apple and then the round circle with the diagonal line in it. I am not sure what to try next. Any ideas? I backed up the computer onto an external hard drive over a week ago but not sure how that will help.thanks

    It depends on which Mac model you have. Append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= , load the page, and find the maximum OS version listed for that model.
    Note that the Mac App Store won't allow the purchase on an incompatible machine.
