Boot Camp doesn't detect keyboard
Here's what happens:
I start the Boot Camp assistant. It downloads the latest software from Apple, creates the driver disc (successfully). It then asks to reboot, which I do. Upon reboot, I am presented with a black screen asking me what CD option I'd like to select. There are only two choices (1 or 2). At this point, the keyboard does not respond to anything. I unplugged all other USB devices, and even tried changing the keyboard to a standard PC one. No dice. I deleted/recreated the Boot Camp partition twice and the issue persists. Also, I tried a different Windows DVD to rule that out. Same issue everytime.
I did some googling around and haven't found anything of use. I am running 10.7.3. Any suggestions?
It really does help when you show what model/year in you profile.
You don't seem to want to give the option descriptions so can't help you anymore then this. Not sure if this will help as I can't seem to find it again,
I seem to remember that you have to hit one of the options immediately after the window comes up as the keyboard/mouse will loose the connection soon after.
You are using a USB wired mouse/keyboard right?

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please
I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.
Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS. -
Boot Camp doesn't work in Tiger
I just downloaded Boot Camp version 1.3 on my old Tiger MacBook Pro but it doesn't work. It says version is outdated. Is there newer versions and where can I download them? I tried to find 1.4, it seems like it doesn't exist.
Thanks for the helpYeah, I know. I can't believe that about Apple. If Microsoft came out with an update for Windows that was that mediocre and charged $129 for it, you'd never hear the end of it.
You're right, it's called Leopard...not service pack 5. Sorry, coming from the Windows world, I'm used to updates like that being called service packs. -
Boot camp does not detect windows anymore
hello
i have an iMac, osx Lion, i was using boot camp for windows xp, the cmd button did not work for some time and since i had to access some info on osx and was fed up with pushing over and over again the cmd on start, i went to windows control panel and changed the default opt on startup on osx.
after that the only option remained was osx lion, nothing shows windows partition anymore except the space on disk that is used but cannot be accessed. I would really need to access that, i have lots of stuff there i also use windows on mac for playing a game which sadly does not work on osx (League of legends). I tried using cmd+r, nothing happened. I am very sad and dissapointed, please someone help me.
with best regards,
meyou 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. -
Vista Ultimate in Boot Camp doesn't connect to Internet
Brand new MBP, came loaded with Tiger; I immediately upgraded it to Leopard. Ran Boot Camp, partitioned HD, then loaded a new OEM version of Vista Ultimate. Then I inserted the Leopard disk and it added the drivers. Rebooted into Windows, and now I can't get on the internet. My airport network DOES show up, but it won't let me connect.
This is confusing - I've seen posts here where the wireless DOES work, and others where it doesn't. But nowhere have I seen any solutions.
Anyone? Thanks."then loaded a new OEM version of Vista Ultimate"
I'm not saying that this is the problem for sure, but it could be. OEM version of Windows (any version) is specific to the computer it came pre-installed on. So the computer manufacturer COULD have made so the OS was not fully functional on any other computer. The agreements between computer manufacturers and MS can be pretty weird.
Are you having any other difficulty with Vista besides the internet problem? -
Boot camp doesn't work after Yosemite update..
Hi Loner T,
Like many people with the yosemite update, my boot camp no longer works.
I cannot find the drive when I'm booting up.
Startup Disk under system preferences only shows the Mac system and does not show any other option.
I've been trying to go through what you've posted to help other people but I've never even worked with terminal application before and everything is very confusing.

I want to use Windows on my Mac, but Boot Camp doesn't work (Mac OS X 10.7.3)
Everyone knows that w/ Boot Camp you can use Windows on Mac, but I can't.
common issues:
downloading the drivers with Boot Camp Assistant
Not reading the guide from in Boot Camp Assistant
Wanting to use XP (not supported)
Not enough disk space
Space is too fragmented - and people don't know or understand the error or how to even backup and then erase and restore (very basic part of prevention and use of computers).

Windows 7 FAQ Answers to commonly asked Windows 7 questions. -
My iMac cannot install "windows XP" with "Bootcamp". The Computer keeps rebooting itself continuously showing a white screen each time. When going to my OS X partition, I can see my Boot camp Partition on the desktop, but it is completely empty of files, meaning the installation of windows hasn't even started (though my computer been trying to boot on it "all night"!
Thinking that my Computer had some kind of a bug, I reinstalled everything and started from bits only. i used my OS X disk to do so, but after updating to the latest firmware, and trying to install windows again, same thing happens!!
I am in real need of support here, so please make that asap.
My Specs... I own an iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM / Mac OS X version 10.5.6
Thanks for your help.Did you format your boot camp partition with the XP installer? Many people have failed to read that bit in the instructions. Though BC 'formats' the partition, you MUST use the installer (e.g., NTFS (quick)). The partition is not bootable otherwise.

Windows Vista/ Boot Camp and Apple wireless keyboard/mouse
Could someone please outline the steps needed to make the apple wireless mouse and keyboard work with Windows Vista on the Mac. It was working fine before I installed the Mac drivers, but now nothing. Whats worse is my computer boots to windows automatically now so I can't use it at present!
All help very gratefully received.
Many thanks
DominicYou cannot use a keyboard or any other peripheral with the tv, I'm afraid. Think of it more like a giant ipod than a little mini in that respect.

Can Boot Camp work with wirless Keyboard
Hey guys just wondering has anyone run bootcamp with a wireless keyboard...
P.S. I have a wired mouse thoughAccording to Apple:
Are there any Macintosh features that I should not
expect to work when running Windows XP on an
Intel-based Macintosh computer?
Even after installing the Macintosh Drivers CD, the
Apple Remote Control (IR), Apple Wireless (Bluetooth)
keyboard or mouse, Apple USB Modem, MacBook Pro's
sudden motion sensor, MacBook Pro's ambient light
sensor, and built-in iSight camera will not function
correctly when running Windows.
Can you give me a link to that answer? The only thing I've found is the statement at the end of the install guide that says:
The following hardware features are not supported in Windows XP:
 iSight cameras
 the Apple Remote
 the Apple USB Modem
 the keyboard backlighting on MacBook Pro computers
Where did you hear about the bluetooth keyboard and mouse not being supported? I'm typing with one right now, but can't get the eject key to work (AppleCDEject.exe IS running), nor the brightness and volume contorl via keyboard...

Boot Camp 3.0 + Windows XP SP3 + Apple Wireless Keyboard
Hello,
I'm using a 24" iMac (early 2009), dual-booting OS X and Windows XP, and I'm having trouble connecting my Apple Bluetooth keyboard when running Windows. I go through the Bluetooth setup until I'm prompted to input a passkey, but before I'm able to do so, the step is skipped and I'm told the device was installed properly. A few seconds later however, an error message pops up saying there was a problem during hardware installation, and that my hardware may not work properly. It doesn't work at all, and I've tried the regedit trick, but I don't have a "Widcomm" folder anywhere in my registry.
I've recently updated my Boot Camp drivers to 3.0, and I think it's worth noting that before doing so, the keyboard functioned fine. Any ideas?
Thanks,
- BenMY problem is with: Leopard Snow & Boot camp; XPSP3; Wireless Apple keyboard and mouse.
Problem: I am a lefty. So on the OSX ( snow leopard) side I have my primary and secondary buttons switched. So I would like to have it the same way in XPSP3. I have tried pairing with the 0000 pairing code, letting windows choose, and with no pass code. Nothing works.
First of all, after it pairs, I get a mouse that has its standard setup, except that the right click (secondary button) doesn't always work. Then I go into the cpanel mouse settings and I click switch buttons and it gets worse. Both buttons become secondary buttons( right click). Its driving me crazy... the track pad works fine the whole time before and after the button switching.
I am also having a problem with the wireless apple keyboard. I can't get it to pair up and stay. It keeps getting erased.
By the way, while I'm pairing with both hardware items, this happens : After choosing how I'd like to pair the hardware item (either - no pass code, let windows choose my pass corde, etc), I then click next. It immediately asks me to to input ( mouse obv i cant) the pass code on the wireless item, but within a nano second it jumps to straight to the finish window (within the bluetooth wizard). On the task bar it tells me "harware.... successful" , but then the hardware wizard pops up asking me to connect to the internet : I 've tried canceling, i've tried one time, i've tried never and clicked through an it will load the hid driver for both and then it tells me "harware.... successful" again.
Yet nothing works the mouse has issues and the keyboard isn't paired!!!!

Bluetooth m.mouse & keyboard not working in Boot Camp on XP
I'm not sure if this is a common problem, but it's doing my head in.
I recently installed Windows XP (SP2) on Boot Camp, the mouse and keyboard had worked fine, and I was able to hold down Option key to choose prefered OS on startup no problem. I then tried to connect to my work network to use the internet (and operate stuff) to discover that I needed to download network drivers. I figured out I needed to insert OSX install DVD and follow the prompts, which I did, setup wizard was enacted and the drivers were (I believe) downloaded.
After restarting the computer I've discovered that I'm now unable to use the bluetooth mighty mouse OR keyboard! I've tried plugging in a USB PC mouse, but that's still not working. So I tried restarting and holding down the option key in the hope of switching back to OSX, but I can't even do that! everytime I restart it goes straight to Windows XP, I've tried several times, pressing the Option key at different points of the restart phase to try and get to the choice screen, but to no avail.
I have a new(ish) 27" Apple iMac running OSX Snow Leapord
Any help appreciatedI've been able to source a PC USB keyboard (along with the mouse), but still unable to get any response from the computer. Doesn't seem to matter if they're plugged in before I restart in windows either.

Wireless Keyboard is not working and I cannot boot to MAC using Boot Camp
Hi,
I cannot get my wireless keyboard to connect to the Mac anymore. I have a 17" iMac that is running Boot Camp. since the Mac keyboard is not working I am using a PC USB keyboard (which does not have an "option" key) without the Option key I cannot enter Mac mode, so I only get the default boot to XP... HELP!!! Is there any other way to get into Mac mode without using the option key on the keyboard? Or is there another key on the PC keyboard that maps to Option?
ThanksI wrote up my travails getting the wireless keyboard working, maybe it will help: http://industriousone.com/apple-wireless-keyboard-vs-windows-xp. Otherwise, you can boot into OSX by clicking on the Boot Camp icon in the system tray (looks like a gray diamond) and choose "Reboot in OS X mode" (or something like that, working from memory). In OS X, you can reboot into Boot Camp by going to System Preferences > Startup Disk and choosing Windows. Hope that helps!
