I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

  • Where can I get the Windows 7 64 bit driver for the MBP (6,2)?

    I have to install Windows 7 for work. I have my hard drive partitioned for triple boot, with Ubuntu 64 bit on one partition, and Windows 7 64 bit enterprise installed on another. Both boot fine; Ubuntu found all its drivers automatically (well done, guys!), but Windows of course cannot. Boot camp assistant refuses to download the drivers because I've already partitioned the drive. (Pardon my frustration, but that is a completely brain-damaged software design decision. -1 to apple.)
    Is there any way to get the drivers?? Even just for the wireless card?? This is unbelievably frustrating. It's 2011 - stuff is supposed to 'just work,' and playing coy little hide-the-hardware-driver games does not 'just work'.

    Alas, no dice. I was able to skip the compatibility check and run the bootcamp installer, and the 3.1 and 3.2 updates. However, I still have no wireless. The device manage shows it as an unknown network card.
    linux lspci identifies the ethernet and wifi cards as:
    02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10)
    03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
    the ethernet card is recognized in windows, but the BCM43224 is not.
    under linux the BCM43224 works out of the box using the standard "wl" driver with Broadcom's recently open-sourced firmware.
    But I'm having a hard time finding any other Windows drivers for it: searching broadcom's site and windows support doesn't give me anything, and google just gives me loads of what look like pay-to-download scam sites and malware. Have I entered some weird parallel reality where wifi support is better in linux than in windows? :lol: that can't be, maybe I'm not configuring something correctly.

  • Where can I get the Adobe AIR extension for Dreamweaver CS5.5 ??

    I am either going insane or all the links I can find are broken.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tools/ajax/ redirects to http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air.html, which has no apparent download link.
    Any help most welcome.

    I have been looking for the past couple of weeks.  Some dweeb at adobe decided to redirect all URLs that had "air" in them to the stupid dev site that of course has no information on it about dreamweaver (except to buy it). It would be logical to put something big on the right side that says "if you got here to download the adobe air extension for dreamweaver it has been moved to here..... I guess nobody is monitoring the thousands of redirects from the air/tools/ajax and might say.. hey I should fix that.....

  • Where can I download the icloud add in for Outlook 2010 for PC?

    I recently purchased Outlook 2010 and I don't seem to have the iCloud add in and I can't figure out where to download it. I'm using Windows 7.

    I have done that. When I try to synch my contacts and calendar I get the message: "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
    But I do have Outlook configured with a default profile. When I follow the rabbit trail of troubleshooting it comes down to checking to make sure the iCloud add in is active. When I check that, not only is it not active - it's not there. Thus my original question: Where can I get the iCloud add in for Outlook?

  • Where do I get the Windows 8 install disk

    My Computer - Macbook pro 15", Retna Display (mid-2012), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    So I would like to be able to play some pc games on my mac. I have bootcamp and I know to hold the options key after each restart to change, but my question is where can I get a Windows 8 disk that it ask for (it ask for windows 7 but the apple guy told me windows 8 would work). I would like a link, not just a comment like, bestbuy. Which they probably have anyways....

    When you buy the Product Key from the Microsoft Store, the Download Manager (.exe) when run allows you to download an ISO image. An ISO image is a software disk image of a physical CD/DVD which can be burned to a physical CD/DVD depending on size.
    From the Microsoft link...
    Overview
    When you download Windows from Microsoft Store, you have two options: You can download a collection of compressed files, or you can download an ISO file. An ISO file combines all the Windows installation files into a single uncompressed file.
    If you choose to download an ISO file so you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB drive, copy the Windows ISO file onto your drive and then run the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool. Then simply install Windows onto your computer directly from your USB or DVD drive.
    When you download the ISO file, you must copy it onto a USB or DVD. When you're ready to install Windows, insert the USB drive or DVD with the ISO file on it and then run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive.
    On a Mac, once you have the ISO file, you can burn it to a physical DVD using Disk Utility (Yosemite): Burn a disk image to a CD or DVD.

  • I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number?

    I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number? I'm about to migrate back to PC soon and I'd love to not have to buy the program again since I just bought it. Under my order history though it only shows it for Mac so I wanted to make sure.

    The boxed packaging is not sold by Adobe direct. If you want to explore that type of purchase which offers the perk of a Windows and a Mac installation disc, you need to purchase from an authorized reseller who is not going to offer you "upgraded pricing". The seller would be its own entity with its own pricing and own return/refund policy. Sometimes the authorized reseller price may be less than the Adobe"upgraded pricing".
    Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 13 Mac from Adobe direct and are within 30 days of purchase? If so, you can contact Adobe Chat Orders to ask for return/refund. And, then you can explore the authorized resellers for pricing and availability of the box packaging. Maybe check out the pricing all around before making any final decisions.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Where can I get Oracle database server 9i for windows 2003

    Hi,
    I need Oracle Database Server 9i for Windows 2003. From Oracle online download, there is one a patch set available. Where can I get the full version?
    Thanks
    Laura

    Hi, I found the solution. There is no software to direcly install Oracle 9i on Windows 2003. I need to install the software for NT/2000 first, the patch it.
    That's why there is only patchset for 2003 for downloading. See the doc below:
    three installation components required to install
    Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) on Windows Server 2003. These three
    installation components must be installed in the order listed. If you are
    migrating a pre-existing Oracle9i database to Windows Server 2003, first
    upgrade the database to the Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) patch set
    before upgrading the operating system.
    Obtain the following installation components:
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Windows
    Oracle Universal Installer release 2.2.0.18.0 for Windows
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Patch Set for Windows

    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    thank you, and best regards...   ...jkashn

    Hi Bernd,
    Thanks very much for your reply.  Based upon your assertion that "ReadOutLoud.api" is part of the "typical" Adobe Reader installation, I searched for and found how to activate and use it (from the "View" menu).  It couldn't be more simple - most operations like this are "really very easy" the *second and subsequent times* that you perform them. :-)))
    thanks again, and best regards...   ...jkashn

  • Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive?

    Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive? 
    On the label it says, Model HSTNN-PD06-91
    and
    HP PN: 518819-001 Rev.B
    I've had my Mini 110-1000 running our music system for a couple of years, no complaints.  When I wanted a CD/DVD drive, I purchased a DE8A4L external USB drive directly from HP.  It didn't come with a driver disc.  When I plug it in, the USB subsystem does not enable it.  Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point, saying, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware..."   It is running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    What gives with this device?

    Following up on tactic 2) above, I upgraded the BIOS from version F07 to the latest version available on the HP download site, version F19.  This went well, but unfortunately the system still does not recognize the device.
    When I try to Device Manager, and select the DE8A4L DVD device, and try "search for a device driver", it says it cannot find a better match for the driver already installed.
    This Mini 110-1000 only came with 1 Gb RAM, and Windows XP Home.   Is one of these a critical limitation for running an external USB DVD drive?

  • HT4865 i lost my phone where can i get the serial number for a police report

    My phone was recently stolen.  Where can I get the serial number for a police report?

    It would be on the box it came in.  It would also be on your support profile is you ever signed up for one (here: https://supportprofile.apple.com).  Finally, if you ever synced it with iTunes on your computer you can find it by doing the following:
    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    Hold down your Control key, then on the menu bar in iTunes click iTunes>About iTunes (Mac) or Help>About iTunes (PC).
    Any previously synced devices will scroll in a pop-up window; press the space bar to stop scrolling so you can write down the serial number.
