Oh my lord, where can I get windows drivers for Macbook Pro?....

Does Apple really not have any place that I can download Windows drivers for the hardware in my August 2010 Macbook Pro?!?  I am trying to use windows through bootcamp, and I am having tons of trouble.  I know there are supposed to be drivers in the OSX DVD that came with my computer, but that is all the way back in Maryland and I go to school in Tennessee.
<rant> Sorry if I seem irritated.  I just got over a total hard drive crash in this computer that isn't even 2 years old.  I have drives that are almost 10 years old in my PC desktop..  The drive that came stock with my Macbook pro was a total piece of crap in comparison to the cheapest notebook drives at Best Buy.  Really Apple?? 5400 RPM 8mb Cache Hitachi drive?? *Pukes in mouth* </rant>

Sorry for the rant.  This is what happens everytime I have tried.  I actually have a booting Windows 7 partition on here already but it is barely running on the stock/generic windows drivers that are just there to get the OS through install. 
I have an OSX 10.6 disk, but it is 10.6.0, and I wasn't even able to make that boot into the Mac installer when I installed OSX on the new hard drive.  I had to run my Macbook as a Firewire disk plugged into a Mac Pro and install it from there and update to 10.6.8.  I think this was because the 10.6.0 install disk doesn't have drivers for my 2010 revision of the Macbook Pro.  I doubt that the 10.6.0 disk has the right Windows drivers if it doesn't even have the right Mac drivers.

  • Can you get windows on a macbook pro without discs?

    hi ive recently bought a MacBook Pro which i am very pleased with however i play a few games on my old pc and i hear i will need to install windows onto my mac using a disc (which i am willing to purchase) HOWEVER i have looked on You tube a few times to watch how to do it and they all use THE ORIGINAL discs which came with their laptop however mine didnt come with any discs is there a way around it if so can someone please tell me step by step as to how to do it?
    Many thanks

    Usually the OEM version of Windows that came with your machine is licensed to that machine only so there isn't a way to legally use that copy of Windows.  Many people think that's unfair but fair and legal aren't always the same thing.

  • How can i get windows drivers for the 2013 MacBook Pro Retina?

    Hi there,
    today I have installed on my late 2013 MBP retina via the Boot Camp Windows 8.1. The installation was smoothly but some drivers are not present including the wifi driver.
    Through online research, I found out that in the current version of Boot Camp no drivers for the 2013 model are listed. Do you have one probably have an idea how to get it to run anyway?

    For feedback from experienced users,  post in the Final Cut Pro X forum here.
    They should be able to offer suggestions for training.

  • Where can I get missing drivers for cd/dvd on ibook

    I got this apple lab top and the cd doesn't work, because the driver is missing.  Also, I put in an airport card and can't access internet,  I can't seem to configure it.  It says it's on, but hasn't joined a network, my network is on the list, but when I go to put in wpa/wpa2 and put in the pass word, it does not accept it.  Can someone help me on finding the drivers for this cd and how to configure my airport card.  Bill
    This is about the best I could do to give you my ibook specs:

    Do you have the original system CDs that came with the iBook when it was new?
    Do you have access to another Mac which is equipped with FireWire?
    With an iBook this old, it could be that the optical drive, itself, has failed.
    Also, please note that that model originally had a CD-ROM drive, so it is not equipped to read DVDs unless the drive has been replaced.

  • Where can I find Vista drivers for Satellite Pro L450D?

    Hi, can anyone offer any help please?
    My toshiba Satellite Pro (Model L450D) came with Win 7 preinstalled. Unfortunately due to virus, I had to format the HDD and reinstall an operating system, but only had a legal copy of Vista. Now Toshiba utilities keeps coming up with a message saying it is blocked at start-up because it is not compatible with this version of Windows (vista).
    All the options to download anything for this laptop model is in Win 7, of course. Where can I find everything I need to be compatible with Vista please?
    Thanks in advance.

    And you think best solution for you is to use Vista or what?
    The whole problem is that you didnt follow Toshiba advice and create recovery disc. Can you confirm this?
    Using this disc you can have factory settings and Win7 again.
    In my opinion Vista is not solution. At first Vista is not supported so if you cannot find Vista stuff on Toshiba download page you will not be able to find it anywhere. Best option for you is to order original Toshiba recovery disc for your machine. You will get Win7 recovery image and you can use it anytime you want.
    For order check please https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    If you have more questions you are welcome.

    You should visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.

    Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

    where can I get windows 7 keyboard and mouse drivers for bootcamp?
    I have installed Windows 7 in a boot camp partition. I can only use usb keyboard and mouse by booting Windows intyo safe mode, and I am totally unable to use my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. How do I resolve this?
    I'm running Lion - 10.7.2. Boot Camp Assistant fails to download drivers - that issue has been going on for some time, and has been reported by others as well.
    But that answers your question.  You get the drivers by using BCA to download them.  Your inability to download the drivers is a separate issue than not being able to use your wireless keyboard.
    While some people may have issues downloading the drivers, many others have successfully downloaded the drivers.  I have downloaded them fine on several different Macs.  It may take a long time, depending on the speed of your internet connection.  Mine took over 3 hours.
    Regardless, you need to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant.  Try again, and if you still have problems, start a new thread and provide as much details as possible to describe what your seeing so that we don't have to go through this back-and-fourth, and you'll get your answer quicker.

  • 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?

  • I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

    I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

    You won't find them until you are in Windows.
    Helps to read even print the guide.
    If you have auto run enabled, which is a security risk, the Apple setup.exe will run.
    Otherwise, just run that.
    Either use your OS X DVD, or use the drivers downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant.
    Two different ways to get them.

  • Where can I get recovery media for Equium A100-549

    It now has a serious virus and I need to restore it. Where can I get recovery media for my laptop?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    where did you buy it?? On Ebay? If yes then you must contact the person which sold you the machine. If you have no chance to get such recovery, then you will have to contact a
    local ASP to obtain a recovery.
    If you dont want to obtain a recovery, and you have a genuine Windows copy lying around, then install it, download the appropriate drivers for that machine from the toshiba website and install
    them afterwards you installed windows.
