Boot Camp Assistant Macbook Air help

I have an 11 inch Macbook Air that I got in March 2013. I wanted to use bootcamp to install Windows 7. I chose to install it on a flash drive and it asked me for an Iso image. Im not really sure what that is, can someone help?

Read and follow the Bootcamp Help files. Windows will not install nor run from a flash drive. The iso image is Windows. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

I have os x 10.6.6 and I need to remove a partition from boot camp and I no longer have a boot camp assistant...HELP!!!

HELP! You've heard of builders who never get their house finished? Well, I have a husband who could do this and a friend of my husband's who can also but they REFUSE to help me or at least keep forgetting (conveniently). I'm at wits end and am contemplating taking it to the shop. UGH!! I no longer have a boot camp assistant (I tried to do this before last year and gave up and bought a pc as my work programs wouldn't work with Mac.) What can I do?
Thank you!!!!!

Niels approach to get the BootCamp Assistant back is recommended because usually the correct way to remove your Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable.
Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

Boot camp assistant problems: please help!

ok, so i was running boot camp assistant on my macbook pro (13 inch) and everything was going fine. But when it was partitioning a space for the windows portion it never showed the bootcamp partition icon to the right on my desktop. I didn't know this was a problem until I tried to install the windows on my computer and it would not work because apparently it does not have the ntfs format. I tried it again two more times, both with no applications running. Is there something I am doing wrong?

You should post in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out.

Installing Boot Camp on MacBook Air with no optical drive

Hi,
Recently the hardnesses of life forced me to use some Windows-only software. I'm on MBA with model identifier MacBookAir3,2. Don't have optical drive.
How can I install BootCamp and Windows 7 on it without optical drive? I could, using another computer, copy installation disk on to USB-disk if this can solve problem, but I'm stuck about how the process would go. I understand my Air should boot from something Windowsy when it has BootCamp installed, from where will it boot in this case, from USB-disk?
Regards,
Eskr.

Hi,
have a read at Apple BootCamp Setup Guide for MacBook Air http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_Camp_Install-SetupLate2010.pdf
And the procedure is described here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31012_7-20020513-10355804.html
For preparing the USB-Stick you have to have access to a Windows-PC.
Regards

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my MacBook with Boot Camp Assistant

I'm trying to use Boot Camp assistant to install Windows 7. I have a disk, I've done everything right, but for some reason, whenever I click Install on the final Boot Camp prompt, it only gets as far as the Windows is loading files... part after it reboots to the Windows hard drive. I've tried everything, but it still won't work. Im using a 13" MacBook Pro with Retina. It has the latest software version (OS X 10.9.1) and I have a USB with Windows Support Software. The disk is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I've been trying for the last two days, and I really need help!
Thanks.

I solved my own problem. I just kept trying, and eventually it worked!

Need help installing boot camp onto macbook pro

I'm attempting to get Boot Camp to run on my MacBook Pro as I need to run several programs on windows for school. I purchased a Windows 8.1 download from Microsoft's website. The download from their website is not an ISO image and is not recognized by the Boot Camp Assistant on the "Create Bootable USB Drive for Windows Installation" screen. I am not a tech savvy person and I would appreciate any help/advice, it seems that I have to somehow convert the download?
Thank you!

You get an ISO using this method - http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8-1-is o/
You will need the ISO to be able to build the USB that Bootcamp needs.

Boot Camp Assistant won't read my windows 7 professional installation dvd, HELP!!

Hi Guys,
For some reason Boot Camp Assistant won't read my Windows 7 Professional x64 Installation DVD? It appears in Finder, however there is only 1 readme.txt file on the disc in Finder. I had Boot Camp set up and working on my Macbook for almost a year but had to remove it and start again, so I can't understand why all of a sudden it can't seem to load any Windows DVD's? I even tried my Windows 7 Home Premium disc but again, the same message keeps popping up that I need to insert my installation disc and wait a few seconds for it to be recognised
Can someone pretty, pretty, possibly please help me out here in some way?

Boot Camp Assistant stops at 50 % when trying to download Windows support software. Help! : (

Hello.
I am just trying to install Windows on my late 2011 Macbook Pro. I clicked "Finder" -> Utilities -> Boot Camp Assistant and started downloading Windows support software. Problem is that it is stuck at 50 %. Is this a known problem? How do I solve it? Do I just have to be patient? Is there another way around?
Also, do I need an actual CD to burn or can I use an external hard drive?
I appreciate any help I can get : ) I don't know much about boot camp.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try downloading the Windows support software from the Support site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
Apple only supports now the external drive as the method to install the Windows support software, but if you download it from Apple Support, you can decompress the file downloaded, right-click the folder with the drivers and burn them into a CD/DVD

I just boot camp my macbook white unibody to windows 7 but I can't setup my wifi plz help!

I just boot camp my macbook white to windows 7 home premium.
Used to run on windows XP(no problem with the wifi)
Plz help~~

Howdy demccll,
If your Windows side is not seeing your Airport Extreme, I'm wondering if the Boot Camp drivers (Windows support software) was installed correctly. That is what installs the Airport drivers among other things.
Boot Camp: Install Windows on your Mac
Install Windows support software
After installing Windows, the support software installs Boot Camp drivers to support your Mac hardware, including AirPort devices, the built-in camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the function keys on an Apple keyboard. The software also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and the Apple Boot Camp system tray item.
You can download the support software by selecting the “Download the latest Windows support software from Apple” option in Boot Camp Assistant. The support software must be copied to an external USB drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT).
After you configure Windows, if you kept the external USB drive that has the Windows support software inserted, an installer starts automatically. Otherwise, insert the external USB drive, then double-click the setup.exe file located in the BootCamp folder.
Follow the onscreen instructions. Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
You don’t need to respond to installer dialogs that appear only briefly during the installation.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you must respond to. Look behind open windows.
When the support software finishes installing, click Restart, then click Yes.
After your Mac restarts, follow the instructions for any other installers that appear.
Check for updated Windows support software by using Software Update or going to the Boot Camp Support site.
Best regards,
Nubz

2008 MacBook Boot Camp Assistant doesn't recognize Windows XP install disk

I'm trying to install Boot Camp, so I put in my Windows XP installation disk, which the computer recognizes because it shows up on the desktop, but when I run the Boot Camp Assistant, it says "The installer disk could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized."
Any help?

That the disk is recognized in Leopard does not mean it's the right disk.
The Windows disk must be XP w/SP2 embedded, or Vista.
It must also be a full install disk, not an update or restore disk, and not a ISO-image disk.

Help with Boot Camp Assistant network problem while downloading windows support system!

Boot Camp Assistant installing Windows 7 option is grayed out. Help!

I have a late 2009 27" iMac, to which i clean installed the Yosemite OS (been updating the OS since Snow leopard that came with). I had Widows 7 installed since i bought it, but now whit this clean update the Boot Camp Assistant shows the option to "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version" grayed out and I'm unable to select it at all.
So far I've tried downloading the windows drivers from the Boot Camp Assistant to a DOS formatted flash drive, downloading them from the apple support page and also some files (also from apple) specific to my computer. Non of which have any file or program to instal or run to alleviate this problem.
As I see it, there may be one of two things causing the problem.
First: I saw somewhere on the apple support page that do to the model on my computer I need Boot Camp 4 and I have Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.2 (Maybe if I could instal this older version, but how?)
Second: When I clean install the OS I partitioned the disk into 3 parts, (system, Windows, and Projects) and that may conflict whit Boot Camp Assistant somehow?
Please Help Me

Please post the output of the following commands.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
The last two commands will prompt for your password. These are run from OSX Terminal.
Your current disk layout is unsupported. The standard layout is EFI/ESP, OSX, Recovery HD, Windows. Every software upgrade is a problem waiting to happen in your current configuration. Snow Leopard (without a Recovery HD) is the last OS which can support an additional 'shared' partition. Once Recovery HD came into the picture, this ability was lost.

Boot from another hard drive or DVD and repair with Disk Utility.

Boot Camp Assistant: Using disk utility? (PLEASE HELP!)

I am trying to download Windows XP with boot camp and I waited for the disk to be partitioned (I'm not even really sure what that means) and then it says:
The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot me moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single MAC OS Extended (Journaled) Volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
Okay, so I went to Disk Utility and now I have no idea what I am supposed to do. Please help!

If you use Time Machine you can reinstall Leopard and then using the Install Disc go to the Utilities and go to the Restore from Time Machine. You can restore your new drive to any of the saved days. It would save them to the hard disk defragmented. Another program is SuperDuper! which can make a clone of your Macintosh HD to an external disc as a bootable option. This is easier and faster though this program has not been confirmed to work with Leopard yet. And as I said before you can buy iDefrag for $30 and not have to restore and erase anything. But what ever you do, make sure to back your files up.

I need help with boot camp. "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

This message appears every time I try to partition my disk:
"Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I verified my Macintosh HD disk on Disk utility and then tried to repair it, but I am unable to click the repair button.
It says it's not available because the startup disk is selected.
I don't know what to do or how to go about both these problems.
Please, any suggestions?
