Boot Camp assistant times out when supposed to download BC files

Hello,
I am helping a friend that need a Boot Camp (BC for short) partition on his DualCore iMac. But as we run BC assistant, it never finds the localized BC installation-files to use after we have installed win7 x64 on it.
1. Note that he has his original install-CD´s "somewhere" (read: nowhere to be found).
2. Due to compatibility-issues with some of the installed software - he has chosen to continue to run on 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
3. The internet works 100% with no restrictions and all other downloads and update works while BC assistant does not.
Even though we never got the BC-package - we managed to download a heapfull of updates (that all aquire previous version to be installed).
We still installed the Win7 x64 and even though most of it still works off the shelf (network, graphics etc.) - I would prefer to have the proper BC-package installed.
Is there no way to download a BC 3.3 full install - or is it possible to run 4.0 on a 10.6-system?
I boils down to:
* Where can I get/download a Win7 x64 BC 3.3 full install? (or at least a full 3.0, since I got the 3.2 and 3.3 updates)
* Or can someone verify that I can use BC 4.0 on a Snow Leopard 10.6-system (and where do I get that one then)?
It would be nice for me to have in any case, since I help a lot of people with their computers (both Apple, Windows and Linux) - and sometimes offline.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort!
Best regards,
/Fredrik

Thank you for your feedback!
Choice 1 - After trying 12 times over the course of 2hrs, I gave up...
Choice 2 - This will be a choice even if I get this settled
Choice 3 - Will try and find my own (also in a box somewhere) or ask other contacts with simular configuration and borrow their disks (which sort of voids choice 4)
Now I just need to continue the search on choice 2...
Cheers

Boot Camp Assistant quit unexpectedly when creating partition

Dear Sir
I am using an Imac 21.5" (Late 2012) version of imac.
Thought of installing win7 to my system but i am hit with this error as Boot Camp Assistant quit unexpectedly when i clicked next after selecting the partition for windows,
Full error message is" Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
PLease advice.

Same thing for me too. I have "downloaded the latest Windows support software from Apple" and put it on my USB stick.
Only if I try to disconnect the USB drive I get this message:
The installer disc could not be found.
Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized.
Then if I connect the USB stick again, I get this message again:
Boot Camp Assistant quit unexpectedly.
Any tips on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated!

HT4972 iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1

iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1 - can anyone help? Can I download via a browser and then install that way?
Looking here http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/07/ios-5-1-download/ - I can download an ipsw file - how would I get that to install on my iPhone4?
Help!
Cheers
P.S. My iPhone4 is on Orange UK - is this a GSM one? or CDMA???

Hi,
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Now restart your iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, you need to post in the iPad forum here.

Network times out when itunes re-sent lost files but not for new purchases.

My backup drive crashed and lost all my itunes files. Itunes was kind enough to re-send all my purchases (1 time only offer). The only problem is, I can't download them. My downloads shows over 700 files available for download but when I to download them it gives me the "unable to check for available downloads" and "your network connection timed out". I tried all the usual tricks, I uninstalled and re-installed itunes, turned off all anti-virus and firewalls, I ran the flushdns, I did the IE "uncheck security certificate". Nothing. Here's the kicker, I purchased a different television series from itunes store and it downloaded without any problems. I even tried to simultaneously check available downloads as the new TV series was downloading and it still have the same error message.
Any ideas?

With 700 downloads, you are probably going to have to go back to itunes support and ask them to split your downloads up into chunks. Other folks have had to ask itunes store support to put 99 items in their download queue, then the next 99, until they are all downloaded.
Ask them to do that for you. Don't open a new ticket; just keep replying to whatever case you had already opened.
Or- if you are comfortable changing registry keys, try this:

Why does Boot Camp Assistant already think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

Greetings...
I'm surprised I've found no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "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."
When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.
Something worth noting is that I recently upgraded to a bigger internal hard drive, and before doing so, I deleted the Boot Camp volume. I innocently thought I'd just do a fresh install sometime after replacing the hard drive, but hindsight tells me that I might have fallen victim to my own ignorance.
Is there a value stored in a register somewhere that's telling my OS that I have more than one partition when I really don't? Can someone out there help me do battle against my ignorance?
I'd be grateful for any help that can be sent my way...

I used DG3 to initialize the HD, which essentially erases the disk if I understand correctly. I haven't used Superduper before, so perhaps that's worth looking into.
I did mentioned the use of DG3 to ensure that I had a single disk partition. I guess the restore from a clone or Time Machine was implied...
;o)
Thanks for putting some effort into helping me. I'll look at Superduper and let you know if that gets me anywhere...

Installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp Assistant

I want to install Windows 7, but my iMac came with Boot Camp 3.0.1. Apple says that I need to update my Boot Camp to 3.1. But when I go to the appropriate support site and download the 3.1 32-bit version, I get a message stating: You have chosen to open BootCamp3.132-bit.exe. Is this the right file? It has an .exe extension and my web browser's download utility (Firefox) doesn't know what to do with this file. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
I got my first Mac a few weeks ago and I feel into this problem. What you need to do is from your Mac launch Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows 7 (I recommend Windows 7 64bit version) as per the normal Boot Camp process.
Once you have Windows 7 installed, boot into Windows and then download the latest the Boot Camp Assistant update for Windows i.e. the .exe file you downloaded before, and install on Window 7. Make sure you get the right version as there is a 32bit and 64bit version.
I short the .exe is only to be installed on your Windows partition and is nothing to do with Boot Camp on your Mac.
FYI - if like me you find that after a while you have made your Windows partition to big and want to repartition to give some space back to your mac check this Website out - it works a treat, but always remember to backup any data before hand JIC http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/

Boot Camp Assistant leaves me at a gray apple screen

I am working with a 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 w/ 1TB hard drive, a Lite-On iHAS dvd optical drive. My operating system is Yosemite. I am trying to install a Windows 7 partition, but Boot Camp Assistant is not being cooperative. Here's my process for installing it with BootCamp:
1. Created Windows 7 x64 install disk from downloaded .iso file (en_windows_7_....iso) — Maybe I am using the wrong installer?
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant, went through the motions of downloading the drivers onto a separate external thumb drive, then partitioning hard drive to have WINDOWS partition.
3. Boot Camp Assistant mentioned something to me about there being an extra bootable drive on an external drive (the thumb drive, I believe) and it wanted to disable that.
4. I disabled it.
5. Yosemite restarts.
6. The gray loading screen pops up with Apple logo.
7. Frozen for more than 10 min, at which point I believe something has erred.
If anybody can help me resolve this issue, it would be much appreciated! I'll be paying close attention to e-mail in order to provide quick responses to this thread.
Thanks!

I have read that I should try buying a second hard drive for Windows. Confirm or refute. It seems highly unnecessary.
I have also tried going to the manual boot screen–holding alt at boot time. same results occur as above.

Boot Camp assist stops at 40%

When I try to make transfer the ISO to a flash drive Boot Camp Assist just stops when "copying windows files"

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

Can't download Windows support software (Boot Camp Assistant)

Hello,
I have OS X Mavericks in a early 2009 MacBook Pro unibody and I tried to install a legal copy of Windows 7 through Boot Camp Assistant.
The problem is while downloading the Windows support software to a 8 GB USB pendrive (which works fine), I obtain this message from Boot Camp Assistant:
So I can't carry on with the Windows 7 installation with Boot Camp.
I tried restarting the system and with different USB pendrives, and I obtain always the same issue.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks you.

I think I have solved the problem.
Looking into Apple's Support Webpage, I found this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630
Here you can download the Boot Camp Support Software for running Windows 7 for my MacBook Pro (15 inch, early 2009).
Later, I will install Windows and then install this Boot Camp Support Software and see if it works.

Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?

Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?

I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.

No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Boot Camp Assistant crashes when partitioning drive (exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS)

I run Mountain Lion, a fresh install, brand new Macbook Pro. HD: Samsung 840 Pro 512 GB SSD.
When trying to go through Boot Camp Assistant / Setup it works fine until it wants to repartition my drive. It then quits unexpectedly and returns these errors:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x000000000000003c
Everything else on this new machine works like a charm. I checked permissions, verified the disk - no issues whatsoever.
Can anyone help me out with this?

I had the same problem, so I decided the system had too much going on. I stopped Time Machine and unmounted the disc, then I closed every other running program except Boot Camp, disconnected all unnecessary devices, selected the partition size and then didn't touch a thing, just went and made a cup of coffee. When I came back it had started and eventually partitioned fine.

Kernel panic when using boot camp assistant

OS X 10.5.2 all updates. 65GB of free space.
Installed Boot Camp Assistant from the OSX DVD that came with my MacBook(10.5)
After installation of Boot Camp Assistant ran software update (no updates needed)
Launch Boot Camp and after sliding the amount to use for the Windows Partition (15GB,20GB,25GB equal, doesnt matter the size I've tried them all) it will prepare for partition.
Then kernel panic (dimmed screen with text on grey stating must restart computer)
Once restarted the HDD has loss the space from the Boot Camp partition. I have run the Disk Utilities from the DVD to repair the disc.
This has happened each and every time (5x).
What is needed to use boot camp without causing os x to crash?
I've also.. at each kernel panic sent the report to apple.

All,
I believe I have discovered a solution for this problem. It at least helped me out. And no, it didn't involve buying iDefrag. This solution is totally free, but it involves a bit of work. It also involves iDefrag. Confused? Read on:
The problem is that the partition literally involves chopping off a contiguous block of free space at the END of your existing partition. I was clued onto this by trying to resize the partition with Disk Utility (which also failed with a kernel panic). The problem I was having was simply that, since I had all but filled my hard drive before this, I had data for files spread all over my hard drive.
So what was I to do? There's no way to view where a file is physically on the disk. The iDefrag utility would do what I need, but cost $34. Then it hit me: what if I could defragment my hard drive manually? All I would need is an interface that shows me the physical layout of the data on the hard disk so I'd know which files I would need to either delete (or duplicate and delete). I correctly hypothesized that the DEMO of iDefrag would do this for me.
So I began, identifying the last file before contiguous white space began. The goal being to carve out a good chunk of "white" empty blocks on the right-hand side. For those wondering about the Header file at the very end of the disk, don't worry. It doesn't seem to matter. For example, I see a huge file. The blocks take up half the screen. I select it and open the Info window and see that it's a digital video file from iMovie. The info window has a selectable file path. I copy it, switch to the finder and hit "Apple-Shift-G", paste the file path and hit enter and I am taken there. I find the file and do one of three things:
1. If it's a file I want or need to keep, but it's a file I created, then I just duplicate it with Ctrl-D. Delete the original, rename the copy to the original name and empty the trash.
2. If it's a file I want or need to keep, but the SYSTEM generated it, I'll need to enter my password as I duplicate it. Enter the password again as you delete the original. You will need to use terminal and the "sudo mv" command to rename the file to the original name (Sorry). Empty the trash.
3. If it's a file I don't need, either created by me or the system, delete it and empty the trash.
"But wait", you might ask. "Steps 1 and 2 appear to do nothing! If you copy the file and rename it to be the same name as the original, nothing is being accomplished!" It might seem like nothing at first, but the FILE SYSTEM created the new file at the EARLIEST possible contiguous free disk space. If you're like me, you freed up a bunch of disk space to make this Boot Camp thing possible. This is evidenced by the white "holes" earlier in the disk (earlier as in "more to the left"). The copy of your file used the earlier white space. Deleting the original turns the blocks white!
Often your processes will create a lot of little files around the same place. For example, a World of Warcraft update might create a lot of little files at the same time. If you get to a point on the disk where it seems like a lot of files in the /Library/Application Support/ folder were created, just copy and paste the least common denominator. If you buy music once in a while, it might be your entire Music Folder that could be worth duplicating! No need to do it file-by-file. The important thing is that files to the right of the bar get moved more to the left of the bar, leaving with you CONTIGUOUS FREE SPACE at the END of your disk.
Finally, after doing this for about an hour, I wanted to see how big a partition I could create. Originally I'd been trying to create a 20 GB partition. From my estimates, if I had tried to create a 9 GB partition, I'd have been just fine the whole time. But that's not enough to play Bioshock! When I finished I took out the ruler and measured the bar on my screen.
The whole bar was 289 milimeters. The contiguous white space ended at 239 milimeters. That's 50 milimeters of continuous space. That's 20.9% of my disk capacity of 93.4 gigs. That, my friends, is 19.54 gigs. I created an 18 GB parition and voila, it worked fine!
I hope this helps some people. It's definitely a wallet-saving venture at the expense of sanity, but there is a way to do this without spending money. Also, while I call this a sort of "manual defragmentation process", it's a bit of a misnomer. While it is freeing up the blocks at the end of the drive, it is possible (or likely) that this process will seriously fragment your drive. After doing this, it may be worth the investment to buy iDefrag so they can really get your file system in order. But at least this'll get Boot Camp running.

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.
