Boot Camp 3.0 with Windows 7
Hi!
I have upgraded the Mac OS X to 10.6.2 and the Boot Camp 3.0. After I installed Windows 7 on Mac Book air, I cannot find any boot menu for Windows 7 and Mac OS. Would anyone can help me.

How did you relaunch it? I tried using the Snow Leopard install disk to do so and it didn't work. I searched the Windows 7 program list and there in no "bootcamp" program. Apple offers a program to run BEFORE the Windows 7 upgrade that unlocks something, but that didn't work either after the install.

Boot camp, trackpad problem with windows 8.1
Hello everyone,
I started to use windows 8.1 on my mac pro (13-inch, retina, late 2013)
The problem is that none of the trackpad gestures are working.
My keyboard lighting also does not work. My all drivers are installed and up to date.
How can I fix this problem?There are two things to check.
1. Control Panel -> Boot Camp -> Trackpad tab. Here is an example.
2. You have two different drivers.
Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > Apple Multitouch version 5.0.2.0
- It says Up to date and I've reinstalled the device to fix the problem, it did not work
Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > Apple Multitouch Mouse version 4.0.3.0
- It says Up to date and I've reinstalled the device to fix the problem, it did not work
Do you have both, a Trackpad and a Magic/Mighty Mouse paired to the same Mac?
On a 13" 2012 MBP with W8.1 this is what I have installed. Your list should be similar. -
Boot Camp not working with Windows 7!
I have a 2011 MBP which has Boot Camp installed w/ Windows 7. I recently had to reinstall Boot Camp after a bad experience with Windows 8, and I've started Windows 7 fresh. I used it 5 or 6 times, but now when I go to use Windows 7 all I get is a black screen. HOWEVER, if I boot up in Windows Safe Mode, it works fine. Something tells me the Graphics Driver is playing up, but what do I do??
start over with a removal of Windows and the partition it is on, using the Boot Camp Assistant program again, and then Reinstall Windows by using the BCA program.
Mkae sure you have the latest Windows drivers from Apple by running the Apple Updater found in the start menu of Windows after it is reinstalled.
you may also be able to do that while booted into Safe Mode and solve your problem. You might want to try that first before you remove and reinstall Windows. -
Boot Camp not working with Windows 8 System Builder
I have a 21.5 inch late 2012 iMac running 10.9.1, and purchased Windows 8 System Builder to install with Boot Camp. I also have an external Samsung DVD writer for the Windows disk and a 16-gig USB thumb drive for the support software.
Because I have the external DVD, I did not select the Boot Camp Assistant option to create an ISO image. Boot Camp proceeded through several steps, downloading the software and partitioning the drive. But it hangs up at the black screen, after I boot from the Windows disk. Error: "Couldn't find BOOTMGR."
It seems that people with similar problems are finding they have to create a bootable USB <http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1511982>. But I don't understand how to do this step. Can somebody explain the process / what to look for on the DVD? Or do I have to download something, in which case I keep being led to this <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh699156.aspx> but I need Windows 8 and not 8.1.
Thanks for any help.UPDATE
I have made a lot of progress. Windows is now running and trying to install. It identifies the various partitions but says that I cannot install Windows on the Boot Camp partition or any other. I select Drive options (advanced) and Format the Boot Camp drive, but it makes no difference.
This is the Windows error:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu.
Would appreciate any help. I installed Windows on an older Mac years ago without much trouble. -
I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.
There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that. -

P.S I don't understand the instruction on this please help me somone
<Edited By Host>It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums. -

From Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
Requirements for all Windows installations
In order to install Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, you need the following:
An Internet connection
An administrator account in OS X to use Boot Camp Assistant
The keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your Mac (If they aren’t available, use a USB keyboard and mouse)
A minimum of 2 GB of RAM, 30 GB of free disk space are recommended if you are installing Windows for the first time, or 40 GB of free disk space if you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows
An authentic Microsoft Windows full install disc or ISO file
A built-in optical drive, or a compatible external optical drive is required if you are using an install disc
8 GB USB storage device, or external drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) to install the downloaded drivers -
Hi!
I am getting the error:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks.This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
Then partition.
Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition. -
HT3986 How do I install Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows?
So I recently installed Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012).
There are no drivers, and no Boot Camp Control Panel installed with Windows. How do I install all of this?In Boot Camp (OSX) download the Windows Support Software, then install it in Windows.

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?
Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.

Boot camp does not find Windows XP installer disc
Hi,
I am trying to install Windows XP on macbook pro. I have partitioned the hard drive and when I push "Start installation" boot camp says "The installer disc could not be found", though I see the icon on the desktop and can browse teh disc. I am logged in as an administrator and have an original Windows XP SP2 and earlier it worked fine on my laptop (I am reinstalling Windows)..
I tried several things suggested in forums (for example here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1402467) and none helped..
1) I restarted while holding Option key or C key - did not help
2) I created an image of Windows XP installer and burnt a new disk - did not help
3) I repartitioned the hard drive several times, I restarted several times - did not help
I am so frustrated with this bug in boot camp.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!you still have not clarified if you used BCDedit or repair the MBR
Whether you used an NTFS driver - that may be all you need - try the full functional demo Paragon NTFS for OS X, it is great at mounting PC NTFS volumes and cases.

There is no such thing as "boot camp" to detect Windows. Poor language. BCA partitions. Do you want to remove XP partition? that is the tool.
Boot Camp control panel in Windows that has a Startup Disk style feature.
But "boot camp" means zilch other than installing a set of drivers and the creatiion of a partition.
Of course Lion Recvovery only works with OS X, not XP. There is a hidden feature to show all partitions and their health but nothing more.
Backup everything and rebuild and restore. -
Boot Camp Not Working From Windows Control Panel
Hi,
When I click on the 'Boot Camp' icon in the Windows Control Panel I get the usual warning from UAC. When I select 'Allow' I get an error message along the lines that "I don't have permission to access the startup disk" & the app will not run.
I have tried running it as administrator but the result is the same.
Does anyone know how to rectify this so that I can get this utility working correctly again?
ThanksOn the disk Management I tried to set the disk with the OSX partition as active and restarted, and ended up having Missing Operating System error.
Fortunately I managed to solve that problem but still I am unable to switch back to Mac.
Help is needed and much appreciated -

Boot Camp Assistant ejects The Windows intaller disc
Hi to everyone,
iMac:
- Intel-based iMac (late 2008).
OS and Hardware:
- Mac OS X version 10.5.7
- Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00
- SMC Version (system): 1.30f1
DVD Drive:
- OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A
- Firmware Revision: 1AHN
I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro OEM SP3 (version 2002).
I launched Boot Camp Assistant 2.0 and created a 32 GB Bootcamp partition. So far so good, then I'm asked to insert the Windows installer disc. I do what is asked then wait a few seconds and click "Start Installation". After about 20 seconds or so, Boot Camp Assistant ejects the Windows disc and displays this: "The installer disc could not be found." I re-insert the disc but the same thing happens again and again.
This is what I tried before posting here for your help:
I quit Boot Camp Assistant and tried to insert the Windows XP Pro installer disc and it won't mount at all and will eventually be ejected.
I thought the disc might be damaged so I inserted it in a PC and everything seems right with the disc. I can see all files using the PC computer that is 5 years old.
I thought it would be a firmware problem with my iMac so I accessed this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 and it seems there is no firmware update required for my iMac.
I execute the command Apple>Software Update and there is nothing to update.
Is there someone able to help me?
Thank you in advance.
KazonHi,
I solved the problem myself. This might help others.
Recap:
The Windows XP Pro CD was always ejected by Boot Camp and it wouldn't mount at all when inserted in the CD slot. The CD was however readable on a Windows Machine.
It was not easy to detect but the Windows CD was physically deformed. It wasn't flat. It was a little convex (the outer edge was higher than its center). My iMac wasn't able to read it at all but a PC was able until I decided to test it with a full install on the PC. About half way during the installation, it stopped and an error message was displayed by Windows Setup "Disc Read Error - Disc might be damaged".
I ejected the CD and discovered the deformation. So I carefully placed the outer edge of the CD over a ring and put some weight on its center to try to undo the deformation. I've waited 2 days then retested the CD and it worked at the first attempt. My iMac was happy and so was I. I made a security copy of the CD while it's still readable in case I have to re-install later.
I find Microsoft cheap of putting their Installation CD in a paper sleeve. If the CD have been stored in a CD case this would not have happened.
End of the story. -
i was installing windows 8 on mac by boot camp and after i put the windows code and choose the partition i formatted the boot camp sector it said windows can not install on this sector because it is gpt
Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).
