AMD Drivers in macbook pro?

Hello to all,
I have macbook pro (Late 2011) AMD 6770m graphics. I installed Windows 8 via BootCamp. My question is if I install Catalyst Software (Latest 13.1) from AMD site then: Will it cause the crashing of Windows 8?.I am asking this because last time I installed Catalyst, Widows 8 crashed saying "BAD_POOL_HEADER".
And my other question is:
I am really curious about the graphics switching between Intel HD 3000 and AMD 6770m..Will I be able to switch? If yes then how?
Thanks for the Cooperation.

Windows 8 is not yet support under Boot Camp on Mountain Lion. You chose to install it nonetheless. There will be problems, as you're seeing. If I were you, I would wait until Apple announces support for Win8 under Boot Camp and just run it as a virtual machine if you must run it.

Can't update AMD graphics card drivers in Macbook Pro 15" 2011

I've been having this problem for a while now, and from what I understand, it's a fairly common issue with bootcamp but I have not been able to find a solution to the problem nonetheless. I am using a 15" Macbook Pro from 2011 (purchased in early September, not sure if that was before the 'late 2011' model or not), running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 through bootcamp v4.0. The graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 6750m last updated on 6/13/2011 to version 8.812.0.0.
I have tried many times to update the card using the AMD catalyst control center supposedly made for windows 7 in bootcamp, but no matter what compatibility options I choose, the installer either tells me there is no graphics adapter (auto detect) or just crashes immediately after starting installation of the catalyst control center. I've also attempted reinstalling bootcamp several times, each with a fresh download of the windows support software, though I have not completely uninstalled Windows 7. I'm not sure if the problem is with the bootcamp drivers themselves or with AMD's software or a combination of both, and a solution would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I know this is completely the wrong spot for this, but while I'm here, does anybody else have issues running EA's Origin download service? I just installed it in bootcamp a few days ago to play Mass Effect 3, and ever since then my computer gets display lag (e.g. in windows media player the video freezes for a few seconds at a time, while the sound continues playing) sometimes, especially during and after attempting to play Mass Effect 3. I already checked to make sure that both Origin and Mass Effect 3 are fully up to date, so I thought it might have something to do with the graphics card.
Anyway, thanks for the assistance, and I apologize for asking a question that has probably been answered several times. I searched through several posts, I couldn't find any answers to my problem.

Despite all of these helpful posts from the community, I'm still coming up short. I'm attempting to update my ATI Radeon HD 6770m driver on windows 7 64-bit. I've followed this guide:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3866652?start=0&tstart=0
(third post down) - I also use Drive Sweeper after using CCCleaner and device manager uninstall.
Every time I attempt to install the driver after rebooting, I receive an error message stating "Driver install: the INF file was not found" with a log stating that the driver failed to install upon completion.
When I attempt to use control panel>Device Manager>Display Adapters>Update Driver Software>Browse My Computer For Driver Software and then choose the appropriate file path (including subfolders) or by choosing from a list of device drivers and selecting one of the two inf files in c:/amd/support/12-2_mobility../packages/drivers/display/w76a_inf, I receive the following error message:
"Windows Encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
AMD Radeon HD 6700m Series
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
I'm hitting nothing but dead ends here. I just want to play SWTOR with an updated driver!
Please provide a detailed, step-by-step solution (if you have one). It is not safe to assume that I have any experience regarding graphics drivers or running windows in bootcamp. Thanks in advance.

?intel iris drivers on macbook pro retina 15" 2014

hi all, i need help i'm lost
it's been 3 days trying to install the intel iris graphic card drivers for the iris 5200 that is shipped with nvidia 750m on the macbook pro 15" retina 2014 and i'm not able to install the drivers.
i installed the preview version of win10 and i rolled back to the preview version of 8.1 both 64bit
and there is something weird, because my bootcamp is only able to install a preview windows version, even having a pro version with product key of 8.1, at the end of the installation, windows say that the changes on my computer can't be saved, so no working windows 8.1 pro
as you are aware, bootcamp download the intelLegacyHdGraphics64.exe together with all other drivers like the nvidia one.. but only the iris drivers will be not installed. the error message is always the same: this computer does not meet the minimum requirement for installing the software.
so, i went to intel site and i downloaded all available drivers, the intel SDK for ocl applications... 2014.exe, the "opencl runtime 14.2x64. package.. installed correctly.
what i'm not able to install are all drivers i could find on the site for the iris.
Intel® Download Center
but i'm getting always this message: this computer does not meet the minimum requirement for installing the software.
the nvidia 750 works as expected, and i did try everything to install the iris drivers.
i also tried to uninstal the nvidia drivers also using the device manager, not just simply disabling it.
and after booting again.. the iris is not listed in the device manager, just the microsoft default display. and trying to install the drivers manually failed too, but that was expectable since there is no intel iris menu from which to pick manually the drivers.
if i try to install using the compatibility tool i get the message that the os is not supported
I'm lost lost lost
did someone try to install them? maybe had luck under a win7? or it is a lost war?

I Want to use luxrender and luxmark on windows too
the benchmark score of the iris 5200 in osx mode is 4880 while the score of the nvidia is 900/1100
that is a huge difference in speed
I am unable to search http://www.luxrender.net/luxmark/ for benchmark data. Is there another way to get to these numbers? If you use the nVidia that is currently exposed to windows, do you run into any issues for Rendering?
Edited: on my acer running win7, i disabled the intel graphic card for the sake of Nvidia 330m from bios, and it works
this should be possible in win 8.1 too? as i know those setting aren't anymore available as bios mode.
is there a way to unhide the iris 5200 and permanently disabling the nvidia 750 in windows?
You may want to start by looking http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1658931.
btw maybe you can answer to this. Running luxmark in yosemite, when i benchmark using cpu, iris, or cpu+ iris the fun becomes noisy as it should, but if i benchmark just the nvidia card the fun doesn't start. and this should be not normal at all.
This seems to be normal behavior from my experience. The integrated GPU (CPU+Iris) produces much more heat than the discrete nVidia. If you do not have a case on your MBP, put your palm on the bottom panel, and run both tests. You can also use something like iStat to look at the temperatures of various components while running tests.

CAUTION! SourceForge, Linux Foundation printer drivers on MacBook Pro Retina

I have installed Gutenprint, USBTB, and HPIJS on my brand new MacBook Pro Retina in an attempt to get it to function with my HP Officejet K80 printer, to no avail.....and now they will not uninstall. To make matters worse, the uninstaller for all of these drivers actually installs another complete set of duplicate drivers on the computer. I now have 6 independent sets of HPIJS drivers on the computer. Further research has revealed that none of these third party drivers are likely to produce any success on OS X 10.8.4 anyway. After installing these drivers and attempting all of the various combinations including adding a usb to parallel adapter (K80 has both usb and parallel ports) with no success, I decided to purchase a new printer (HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus). I now want these drivers off of the computer! All attempts to run the uninstall routines that downloaded with the original drivers have simply installed a duplicate set of drivers (with a .1, .2, .3 etc. extension).
These drivers came from SourceForge.net and The Linux Foundation. I now question whether they are even valid drivers or some sort of bogus software.

UDATE:
I sent a detailed email to SourceForge.net at sfnet_ops as indicated for help on the sourceforge website. They sent a return email that they are only the hosting provider but redirected me to the exact project on sourceforge for help: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/support.
Unfortunately, this project does not indicate anyway to get help....as stated on that web page "Unfortunately, this project hasn't indicated the best way to get help."
I have also found now that a previous unrelated and installed download is now seems to be missing from my computer though I can not specifically state that it is due to my attempts to use the HPIJS uninstaller.
Is there another way to uninstall these drivers that now amount to junk (and possibly malicious) software?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Does Mac have any general uninstallers that will work?

Vista has no drivers for MacBook Pro DVD drive

When I boot into Vista, everything works well enough but I can't use the DVD drive on my MacBook Pro. Under the device manager it's listed as not having drivers and when you tell it to find them on the internet, it comes up empty handed.
Anyone know where I can find drivers for this drive? It's a Matsushita UJ-857D.

I've been having the same problem. THere was a discussion with a link that no longer exists.

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.

Boot Camp 3.0, Win XP and new Audio Drivers for MacBook Pro Core2Duo

I just installed the new drivers in Boot Camp 3.0 on my 2006 Core2Duo MacBook Pro. Before the update, my audio worked perfectly, but after the update, I have a lot of static sound coming from my speakers. I can hear the audio, but it sounds staticy, if that's a word.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Just in the process of trying it myself for audio problems after BC 3.0
It worked.
My sound problems with BC 3.0 gone.
My problem was that there was no internal speaker sound on my MBP with the BC3 driver...only headphones, and no way to switch.

¿Existen drivers de MacBook Pro para windows XP?

Me he instalado el windows XP por medio de Boot Camp, sin embargo cuando intento instalar el Software de compatibilidad que viene en el disco de instalación de Snow Leopard me advierte que requiere de windows 7 para hacer la instalación, tambien me he bajado el software de instalación desde los primeros pasos a seguir en boot camp. ¿Alguien sabe si existen los drivers para XP? Si existen ¿En dónde los puedo encontrar?

Ok, that's what I have done... I have Snow Leopard Installed, 10.8.6 and it's got Boot Camp 3.0.4... my questionis the Mac Windows Install Drivers you add after installing Windows. Windows looks terribly awkward and I'm guessing it has something to do with the ATI graphics card sofware the mac disk installed. Is is ok to use the one I created years ago? I can't seem to find a place to create a new one using the 10.8.6 and 3.0.4.
When I orignially installed Boot Camp you had to create a disk using Boot Camp that you installed in Windows after the initial OS installation.

Graphical glitch AMD radeon 6490 Macbook pro 15" 2.0 i7 quadcore

I have graphical glitch that seems to happen every once in a while. its like the screen gets a line draw in the middle of it when i move the cursor up or down or when i make the dock reappear or when i move the pages on safari or any other app.

I'm still reluctant to give up on that bricked machine... Since it is able to display part of the boot up messages of the arch install cd and the previously working installation showed everything until loading of the virtual console (at least that's what I believe it did when the screen went black), it looks to me that the problem lies in initializing a different graphical output. That would also explain why I was able to initialize X only with the fbdev driver... and the screen didn't flicker during boot-up when I did radeon.modeset=0 so I assume it stayed on framebuffer mode all along.
Does anyone know of a boot medium that boots into framebuffer video mode even though a GPU is present? All I'd need is a bash or similar shell. I can load into the UEFI shell with arch install CD, but I'm not familiar with that shell and it follows a different syntax than I am used to, as it is designed for an entirely different purpose. If anyone knows a boot medium that does not try to pipe the graphical output through the gpu (or the integrated i915 graphics). Must be something like this around?

Unable to upgrade macbook pro 15 inch early 2011 AMD drivers

Hi im having an issue, I recently purchased Battlefield 3 and I am getting an error telling me that I need to upgrade to the 11.7 driver, I go to AMD's website and tried to find my driver with no luck, I went to their page on finding the right drivers, I select MAC graphics, Mac Bootcamp, Macbook pro, Windows 7 64 bit, and install them and I still get the same error and when I open Catlyst it still says I have the 11.1 driver, I go into device manager and select my card ( an AMD Radeon HD 6490M) and select it , click the driver tab and click update and it says its the latest one, what do I do?

Post copied from previous discussion thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/17117482#17117482
This may be an old post, but for those still looking for an answer you can get the 13.12 (December 2013) AMD graphics driver from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/915fpdtgbgoksct/kOY7bKHgKq Select "Download->Download as .zip".
I only modded the driver for the windows 7 64-bit install, so if you using windows 8 under bootcamp you'll have to follow the included instructions yourself.
Please let me know/like this post if this works for you. (It would be great if you could report whether it worked based on using Win 7 or Win 8)

Macbook Pro 15" Windows 7 Drivers?

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 15" i7 from a reseller in South Africa with the intent of running OSX Lion and Windows 7 for a combined experience. When installing Windows using Bootcamp, the download time of the support files is enormously stupid. Any suggestions? Can I find these drivers anywhere separately? I'm aware of drivers being included on Snow Leopard disc, but my purchase did not include any Lion disc at all. Should it have come included? Desperate for some help here! Thanks in advance.

Ok, so after reading the responce from Jaygyver I made some progress, but let me first explain my hardware and the process I used to get everything working.
Hardware:
1) Kingston DT101G2 32Gb Memory stick -> Product Link
2) Macbook Pro 15-inch (Early 2011) - 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1024 MB VRAM, Thunderbolt Firmware version 22,1
Software:
1) Mac OSX 10.7.2
2) Original Windows 7 installation disk
3) Boot Camp 4.0 (Downloaded via Mac Boot Camp Assistant)
Installation process:
1) Boot Mac normally
2) Insert memory stick
3) Open "Applications / Utilities" and run the "Disk Utility" application
4) Select the memory stick volume
5) On the tabs above, on the right hand side of the window, click "Erase"
6) Ensure you select from the drop down menu the MS-DOS (FAT) Format
7) Click on erase on the button in the middle of the screen. Let it do its thing and then close "Disk Utility"
8) In "Spotlight" type "Boot Camp"
9) Run the Boot Camp Assistant application
10) view the instructions on the link I provided above.
Careful here:
After downloading Boot Camp onto the memory stick, click install windows. As soon as you get to the window where you are prompted to select your volume to install Windows on, click on the advanced tab in the windows installation window. Select the volume and then click on Format. MAKE SURE you select the correct volume as you don't want to format your OSX volume. That sould be that then!!
PS: Jaygyver was right, if the drivers don't work in windows after the initial first boot. Open the memory car in windows explorer and run the boot camp setup. It will install EVERYTHING, absolutely EVERYTHING. I didn't need to look for any drivers online at all.
Hope this helps!

My trial of AMD Catalyst 12.3 and 12.2 pre-certified driver on Macbook Pro 2011 early

I would like to share my experience on installing AMD catalyst 12.3 and 12.2 pre-certified driver on macbook pro 2011 early. Before installing the drivers, I first used catalyst install manager to remove the previously installed driver and then driver sweeper to clean the residuals. After the cleaning process, the macbook pro simply backed to VGA display.
Unfortunately, the setup programs of these two drivers showed different behaviors. The 12.2 pre-certified setup program could detect the 6750M chip and install AMD display driver. You can tell the behavior by watching the messages shown during the installation process. Nevertheless, AMD seemed change the behavior the setup program. The program did not install the display driver & CCC but still continued to install HDMI/DP driver and other stuffs.
In short, if somebody wants to install 12.3, he definitely needs some extra tricks to do so.

Boot into Safe Mode for a while to see if the panics cease. Meanwhile you need to upgrade Parallels to the current version, 7.x. If you are using the USB to Ethernet adaptor then unplug it along with any other peripherals. Uninstall LittleSnitch, Ambrosia extension, and VaraAudio extension (or uninstall the software that installed them using their uninstallers.)

How to I get Graphic Drivers for Windows 7 using Bootcamp on my Late 2011 17" MacBook Pro?

I just received my new 17" Late 2011 MacBook Pro to replace my older model MBP. I had configured the older MBP with two 500Gb SSD drives by replacing the original hard drive and the DVD with 500Gb SSDs. Works fine. I then simply installed these two SSDs from the older MBP on the new machine. OSX works fine, after a few software updates. Likewise Win 7 Pro is installed on a Boot Camp partition with the drivers from the Mid 2010 MBP. Windows seems to run fine after the expected reactivation, but the graphics are obviously not running at full resolution, I am certain this is due to the differing graphics card between the Mid 2010 MBP and the Late 2011 MBP.
Apple does not show any drivers download for the new MBP, I am running BootCamp software version 4.0.
Although I could certainly do it, I don't want to spend the time to run a new installation of Windows 7 and reinstall all the myriad windows updates. It would take hours.
I know that the new installation process takes a step to download the BootCamp drivers, but how can you reinitiate this process after installing BootCamp as I have without progressing through the whole installation process?
Any help appreciated.....

"At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.
