After I installed windows 8.1 on mac

hi guys. I just installed windows 8.1 professional on my macbook pro mid 2012. after I installed it and i run windows 8, when Im trying to install the drivers that I've already downloaded on my flash memory from bootcamp, yet I could not find it I just found the folders and it is empty. I did download it again and I made sure they are fully completed before I switch to windows 8. Also i got the same thing

Did you allow Bootcamp Assistant to download the drivers or did you download them manually?
For Mid 2012 MBPs the drivers are Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621. These can be directly downloaded to a USB, unzipped and installed using the setup.exe file in the Bootcamp folder.

How can I set to boot from MAC OS by default after I installed Windows?

How can I choose to boot from MAC OS by default after I installed Windows? I have a MacBook Pro Leo 10.6.8. I used bootcamp to install Windows XP SP2, but now if I don't press the option key it will start up with Windows, and I don't want that. Thanks for any help.

Select it in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Did you use Boot Camp Assistant?
You should be able to hold down the option key whilst booting in order to select which OS you want to boot into.

Mac OS X Leopard installation disc after I install Windows Vista

Hi everyone! Do I need to put my Mac OS X Leopard installation disc after I install Windows Vista? I try to run the windows without install Mac-specific driver for windows but it restarted and back to Mac OS. The frustrated thing is I did not bring my Mac OS with me. Anyone has any solution? Or how can i request a installation disk from Apple? Thank you!

Yes you will need to install the apple drivers for win vista. When you boot from a cold start, have you tried holding down the option key to choose which OS to boot from? If you have then, you could try going into startup options from the mac side and choose win vista if it appears. That could be risky though, as you mentioned you do not have the mac install disk. If problems arise you may need the mac install disk to undo the changes.

Can i install mac osx back again after installing windows 7 on my mac book a1181?

i have apple mac book a1181 white, but i had problem logging on as it was secured by a password, and i allready lost my recovery dvd, so i installed windows 7 on my mac book a1181 by deleting its partition from GTP to NTFS but i experienced problems after installing windows 7 as sound was not comming as i could not find sound drivers for macintosh, so now i plan again to restore my apple macbook a1181 back by reinstalling mac osx 10.5.8, how can i again install mac osx on my notebook and is it possible to re-install mac on my notebook? please give me some help.

Insert your OS X install disc and restart holding the C key, hold it down until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Choose your language and at the next screen from the top menu bar select Utilities-Disk Utility. Select your internal hard drive, click on the Partition tab and select 1 partition. Click on the Options button and select GUID partition scheme. Click OK. Choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When Disk Utility is done and your drive is properly partitioned and formatted quit DU and go back to the installer screen and reinstall OS X. When you're up and running run software update a couple times to get everything up to date as far as you can with 10.5.8. Then consider upgrading to OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

When installing Windows 7 on my mac through bootcamp, it always freezes at "Completing Installation"

When I try to install windows 7 on my mac, it always freezes at "Completing Installation". Does anyone know a fix for this?

Got it!
After posting my question I noticed the "More like this" category and the second discussion was a hit.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11290644#11290644
It was a display driver. All I needed to do was to boot from the CD again and following the directions in the post.
Worked like a charm.

Trying to install Windows 7 on my mac pro

Trying to install Windows 7 on my mac pro. I'm running 10.6, I have boot camp 3.04 and after I partition and install the disc (using 32bit) it restarts automatically and freezes on a black screen. I have updated my software so what should I do? Thanks.

A., Use 64-bit for sure. You have too much RAM and hardware and VRAM
B. Put Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1, you have a dual processor you need Pro.
C. A dedicated drive for Windows.
D. At least 50GB
E. most important, pull all drives out and leave in just the drive Windows will install onto.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows

Usually the resolution is updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

It will never run in OS X. You need to install Windows on your machine.

If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

Unable to install windows 8 on the mac

how do I install windows 8 on the Mac I tried but cannot get past windows set up . Where do you want to install windows? I have highlighted Drive 0 Partion 4 and it comes up with this We couldn't creat a new Partion or locate an existing one.

There are two different methods of installation, EFI and MBR, you are running a method which is combination of both. Either your MBR is incorrect or BCA failed to create one. EFI method requires a partition which is Free Space and the disk is GPT-only while MBR method expects to the disk to be partitioned already. If you see 'disk0 partition 4', it is the MBR method, and BCA could have failed.
Please post the output of the following Terminal command. You will be prompted for your password, and it will not be echoed back to you. "sudo" will also warn you about improper and potential data loss due to such 'abuse'.
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

Installing windows XP on a mac mini

Hi All,
I have installed windows XP on four macs now and have never experienced a problem whatsoever however on my 5th attempt the following is happening and i wondered if anybody can help?
I partition the hard drive using boot camp no problem then i click on the start installation still no problem the blue box appears and starts to install windows files this then brings you to the screen were you can select the partion to install xp to so i scroll down to my partition and press enter now it is here were the problems seem to start when i press enter rather than taking me to the screen which lets you select what format to carry out on the partition in it starts the installation therefore not formating the partition in the correct format and as a result windows will not start!
Please can somebody assist with this?

Which Mini? Is BC drive external or a BC 2nd partition on your internal?
I just installed Vista on my new Mini '09. Used BC to install 80Gb partition, launched Vista installer. When it came drive selection, I did select the BC partition, and selected format option. The installer didn't go to a DOS like selection window, I thought because of only 1 partition available, but now I think that's just Vista, and not having a DOS like installer. Hope this helps.
