Boot Camp Drivers for Windows  7

Hello...
I just installed win7 on my Mac Mini with Boot Camp Assistant, but after installing and making the setup, I was not able to install the drivers from my SL DVD. Windows 7 can't read the disc and I cannot find the program to install my drivers even if I tried to look in the contents of my DVD in win7.
I actually don't know, if I should drag in my install DVD that came with my Mini, because when I bought it, the "Tiger" was released and I have only the SL install disc 1 "burned" from my friend.
I would really appreciate if somebody would help me.
Thanks

I'm sorry to take up your time guys - as I wrote earlier I'm not that technical and new to all of this - I was promised that I could do everything the mac way in the windows environment if I bought Parallels Desktop 7 - I only did this as my company is installing af new CRM system that is only supported in Windows - now I have installed everything and find out that the MAC keyboard shortcuts and layout is not working at all in i.e. Outlook etc. and I've totally forgotten how the Windows shortcuts etc. is working - Parallels asked me to go to Apple for help and here I am
You write that "if you believe it's correct do it" - but I don't believe anything else than what I'm told - I'm not going to install anything if I don't know how to do and whether it's correct - I wont have the nerve to do that.
If at least could get a list or someting on how to use my Magic Trackpad in the windows environment I would be happy - then I would just have to switch between how to use it on both sides.
Hope you understand and sorry again for taking up your valuable time

    Only if you don't mind a Windows system lacking most features and thus beaing nearly unuseable.
    Applying the appropriate drivers for hardware support is a must for all operating systems.

  • Unable to install Boot Camp Drivers for Windows

    Mac Pro (2) 3.2 Xeon quads
    Mac OS 10.5.2
    Boot Camp side - Windows XP pro x64 w/SP2
    Step 3 listed in the instructions for setting up Boot Camp is to Install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows. At this point Windows recognizes my Mac Install disk 1. I get the following message: "the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again." I am not sure if I needed to do something to install the Service Pack 2? My firmware is at MP31.006C.B02 and 1.25f4. When I checked for the latest firmware, it returned a message that it was not necessary.
    Maybe the XP pro x64 is not compatible?

    When trying to install boot camp drivers, a message came up saying:
    Boot Camp requires that your computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
    The only option it gave me was to click the "OK" button. When I clicked OK , another message came up saying:
    Boot Camp Installer completed. The install encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again. Click "finish" to exit installer. I am running a brand new full retail version of windows xp service pack 2. Applecare will not help blaming Microsoft and of course Microsoft is blaming Apple. What a bunch of useless crap!! Can anyone help??

  • Cannot get Boot Camp drivers (for Windows XP) installed

    I've partitioned my Time Machine HD for the 32GB/FAT format of Windows XP/Home Edition w/SP2. The installation of Windows proceeded OK. However, after installing Windows, ejecting the W-Install disc, and inserting my MAC OS X Leopard disc, the "setup.exe" file does not open. If I start up in Windows, I cannot open the Opt. Disc drawer since the BC drivers are not installed; if I insert the OS X disc in the drawer, then restart in Windows, the "setup.exe." file does not open.
    Where do I go from here to install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows? These drivers are needed for 'normal' Windows operation, and are required in order to install the Boot Camp update. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi David,
    while you are in Windows and have the Leopard DVD inserted, can you access the content of it using the Windows Explorer ?
    or maybe this hint on MacOSXHints can help you access the Windows Content of your Leopard DVD while in OSX http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080708145453136
    If so, you can try to copy the Windows Content onto a USB Memory Stick and use it to install the drivers.
    Good Luck

  • Installed Boot Camp drivers for Windows 7, now black screen!

    I have a question--I have a late 2009 iMac with the ATI card, followed Apple's procedure for avoiding the black screen while installing Windows 7 on the partitioned HD, and found I could not update to Boot Camp 3.1 without already having Boot Camp 3.0 from the 10.6 install disc. I inserted the disc, had to perform a workaround because it said I couldn't run 64-bit, and installed the drivers (I assume?) from Boot Camp on the 10.6 disc. When my iMac restarted the screen soon goes black. I guessed I was at the login screen, typed in my name and password, and could hear it logging into Windows--my sound works, Magic Mouse works (no scrolling), etc but no screen after booting up in Windows. Did the Boot Camp drivers from the install disc over-write something that was working? How do I fix this so I can proceed to install the 3.1 and 3.2 Boot Camp updates? Just the ATI* trick? Please help!!!

  • Boot camp drivers for windows 8

    Every thing works well on windows 8 install using boot camp. Even all drivers available for windows 7 work and let windows 8 function all the way. I only got struck on track pad as this is only important thing which gave away and never worked. On using wireless mouse or USB mouse one can have alternative to track pad. Fail to understand why Apple is making an issue by not releasing drivers for its crack pad which enable the machine to work in windows mode. Every time one use windows curses apple for this intentional blockage. May be Apple devices a way that people must remember them once any one uses boot camp. If Apple is so hostile to Microsoft why allow even boot camp?

    OK, everything did not work "all the way" then.

  • How can I download the boot camp drivers for windows 7 64-bits?

    I have a macbook pro Retina (no disk tray) purchased in mids 2012. I have no internet access on my macbook since my wifi is a cablemodem one.
    And the whole problem is that I've recently installed a copy of windows 7 64bits using BOOT CAMP and I can't reboot my PC to access my MAC OS X disk!!
    Please, help!!!!!!!!

    Did you try booting while holding down the Option key?

  • Can someone help me install Boot Camp drivers to Windows 8?

    Hey guys, I just installed windows 8 32 bit developer preview on my mac via boot camp. im not very familiar with exactly how boot camp drivers work, so i need a little help. First i will tell you what i have done.
    1. installed win 8.
    2. tried to run the boot camp 3.3.exe in windows 8. I used the troubleshoot compatibility option but an error camp up saying boot camp was already installed.
    3. then i rebooted holding the option key so to boot up in osx. i then extracted the bootcamp 3.3 files to a flash drive.
    4. after booting back to windows, i tried doing the compatitbility settings again with each individual file within the bootcamp 3.3 files. an error popped up saying something like "check to see if your hardware needs 32 bit or 64 bit version of this software." (i dont remember the exact wording)
    i did some googling but i figured that i could get professional help from you guys.
    I am going to classes all day so please be patient, because i wont be able to check this until later this afternoon.
    help is very much appreciated. thanks in advance.
    kpasa.

    you need boot camp 3.0.x first before later versions can be installed;
    Or,
    I don't know what currently Boot Camp Assistant in 10.6.8 will also do a download of drivers.
    But other than change Properites and try setting "use Windows 7 mode" and such, I think you are left high and dry with whatever is in 8.
    And I use 8 on two of three systems. I left my Mac Pro @ Windows 7 for now but I much prefer Windows 8, yes.
    I would not have chosen or gone with any 32-bit version. As long as you have 3GB RAM or more, forget it. Use 64-bit.
    I have not seen or rather read any "success" stories with 8 and Apple drivers though.

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro - Can't load Boot Camp drivers for Win 7 64

    Trying to install Win 7 64 bit on my early 2008 Mac Pro.  I downloaded the Boot Camp drivers 4.0.4033 and installed them on a USB drive but, for some reason, when I try the install them during the process, I get a message that my hardware is not recognized.  Skipping the driver loading process, I am able to install Win 7 but when the system trys to restart to continue the install, I get a message "disk error, press any key to restart".  Pressing any key does not get me anywhere.  I went through the Win 7 repair process and again tried to load the drivers with no luck. 
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    That article was also my starting point and I have followed those steps again and again and again. I haven't slept, I haven't done anything other then try to make it work for more hours than I can count. I came here for help because that solution is not working for me.
    The region and keyboard type settings simply don't have the Apple keyboard layout listed. As I said, someone on the Fusion forum tried to follow the article's instructions too and he managed to get it working because he COULD run setup.exe (Boot Camp Drivers) on his machine, and I CAN'T. Yes, it is all explained in that article... but the drivers WON'T INSTALL, I get an error message saying "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model".
    First you said it wasn't physically possible for me to install the drivers, then you said I should just follow the article. Well, the article clearly says "Install the Boot Camp Windows device drivers in the virtual machine" which you just said couldn't be done! I want to cry. I should have just bought a second laptop, this is too painful.

  • HT4407 No boot camp drivers for 64-bit Windows 7 installed

    Dear Family,
    I'm unable to download the Window Support on the boot camp assistant.
    I installed the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on my 15" Mac of 2010 model running on Lion n the Windows have no wifi so i guess the drivers are needed.
    Returning back to Boot camp assistant to download the latest support from Windows but
    It keep prompting:
    "Can't install Windows Support Software because you are not connected to the Internet."
    When my wifi is on and even if i'm on ethernet.
    Is there anywhere i can directly download the bootcam, i suppose its 4.0 or 4.1
    cant find any link.
    Need you folks to help me out.
    Without the Windows, i cant have my access and my assignment requires Access. N even the Business edition of MS Office Mac 2011 aint hv got Access.
    Thanks so much!
    Kryz

    Obviously you are and can connect to the net.
    The error message and problem is quite well 'documented' by other threads and the fault lies with Boot Camp Assistant's configuration.
    Try turning off auto proxy in OS X network control panel and play around wtih that.

  • Boot Camp Assistant for Windows XP

    I want to put windows XP on a partition of my hard drive, the problem is, after I run Boot Camp Assistant, the program tells me to inster a Windows 7 Home of Professional into the computer. Unfortuantly, I only have XP, and the program does not recongize it when i put it in.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Apple has removed support for XP and Vista with the OSX Lion BootCamp.
    Therefor the BootCamp Assistant (BCA) refuses to install Windows if it detects a non-Windows 7 DVD/CD.
    What might/should work is to use the BCA to the point where it asks to 'Install' or to 'Close & Install later' after the BCA has created the BootCamp partition.
    At this point close the BCA and check if the BootCamp partition was created.
    When all looks OK, insert your XP CD and reboot your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until the Boot Selection Screen.
    Choose to boot from the XP CD (the icon looks like a generic disc).
    After hopefully the XP installation went well insert your OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD to install the BootCamp Drivers from it.
    Later updates (versions 3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ either in Windows or if wanted in OSX and then put on an USB-Stick.
    Making a second OSX partition on the harddisk to install Snow Leopard would render the BCA useless, since it can only work on a harddisk with one OSX volume on it.
    As a last resort if the above does not work you can consider using VirtualBox and install/use XP with it in a virtualized environment.
    And if you want to try the above: have/make a backup of your OSX before attempting !!!
    Hope it helps

  • HT201612 magic mouse boot camp drivers for Lion?

    Where can I locate magic mouse drivers for Win 7 running in Boot Camp on an iMac running Lion?

    The hatter wrote:
    Recent thread post with fix for BT:
    bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
    After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
    The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
    Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
    I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
    All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
    This works.  Unfortunately it has one bad side effect: it will slow your wifi connection down to a crawl. For example: Windows 7 speed test (rMBP, Win7, boot camp, linksys WRT45G router set to g only) with collaboration disabled: up = 17 Mbps, down = 6 Mbps; with collaboration enabled: up = 3 mb/s; down = 5 Mbps.  For me, this was not acceptable, so I kept collaboration disabled.

  • Boot camp support for windows 7 /2009. Now will be released when ready 2010

    Boot camp support end of year 2009 has now been revised to the following
    Apple is working to support Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate) with Boot Camp in Mac OS X. This support will require a software update to Boot Camp that we plan to release as soon as it's ready.

    And they ain't sayin nothin like Charlie Brown's teacher - waa waa waa waa waa.
    Actually let me translate:
    "We are incompitent and inept. We are working as slow as possible given our distain for Microsoft. Even though we have the resources to develop these drivers in a few weeks, we are going to drag our feet hoping to frustrate our customers into using OS X even though half the software out there does not run on our OS. We are sorry you are a premium customer willing to pay more than anyone else for a laptop and you did so for customer service and quality. Unfortunately, we are going to totally ignore you on this issue".
