Boot camp for window 8.1 pro

I have problem when I installed Window 8.1 pro on My mac air 13' mid 2013. No Network controller, and so on. Please apple release New Version of Boot camp that support Window 8.1 Pro

Boot Camp supports Windows 8.1. Did you remember to install the Boot Camp support software?
To download the Boot Camp support software for your MacBook, start up in OS X by holding down the Option key while your Mac is starting up and choose your OS X volume. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities), tick the option to download the Windows support software and follow its steps.
After copying it to the USB drive, start up in Windows and install it

  • Will there be a boot camp for Windows 8 Pro?

    Does anyone have a clue as to when Apple will have the boot camp available for the Windows 8 Pro? I like the interface better than the Win 7.
    boot camp for Win 7 works great but when applied to the  Win 8 program...display is dim, apple keyboard and track mouse in-operable. The case gets hot but only on the Windows operating side. I am unistalling Windows entirely until there is a boot camp that resolves these issues. Mac Operating sys. 10.8.2 mtn lion

    People aren't supposed to say here at least reguarding future releases of apple products, but I do know that windows 8 should work with the current bootcamp, I haven't tried because I really dont like windows 8, but it should take all the windows 7 drivers, and I've read about people thatve gotten it working on their macs. Of course it's completely unsupported, but that doesnt mean it isnt going to work.
    Of course the operative word here is 'should' .. It has worked for some and not for others, as 8 is currently un-released that is unlikely to change until Microsoft release it and (and only then) Apple release drivers for it.

  • There is no boot camp for windows 8.1 32 bit version ? where can i find this ?

    I have Windows 8.1 32 Bit version and there is no Boot camp for this ? nor for Windows 8 32 bit version ? Also the Boot Camp 4 doesn't works and crashes the whole system if installed on windows 8. or 8.1

    you are running 10.7?
    There are direct downloads.
    8.1 is a nice improvement over 8.0 and you probably need BC 5.x

  • Fusion vs. Parallel vs. Boot Camp for Windows 7. Probably a dumb question.

    OK, here is my question. I want to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. The primary reason is to run Excel 2007 for work. Not intensive games or anything like that. Excel for Mac does not always transfer well to Excel users at the office, and I spend double time reformatting, etc. Anyway, I wanted to know do you have to use bootcamp along with Fusion or Parallels Desktop 5 or can I use one of these independently? It looks like on Parallels website that it is independent. Of course bootcamp is free, but I really am tired of waiting for these drivers (Something we all agree on.) If I use Fusion or Parallels, which do you recommend? Again, all I am really doing is running office documents.
    Here are my system specs:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,5

    You could handle it in almost any variation you want. With only 2GB of RAM though, the virtual machine will not be very snappy. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably just do boot camp, since it's going to be just as quick to boot with the option key and select windows to do excel stuff, then reboot back to mac when you're done, since it'd be free and give you the best performance.
    If you're not too worried about it running slow (1GB for the virtual machine would be pushing my patience to the limits and i wouldn't run it with any less, nor would I take any MORE away from OS X) then you could go with just a virtual machine, no need to boot camp it at all if you didn't want to, just do a normal virtual machine build from within whichever app you chose. So if that speed issue isn't a problem, just to do MS Excel sometimes in a windows environment, I'd just do the virtual machine only, save having to partition the drive at all with boot camp and such.
    Now, there's a lot of back and forth on the current versions of parallels and fusion. I spent a week or so with both when each new version was released testing, because I do have a boot camp windows 7 partition and sometimes do it virtually rather than booting into it (but I have 4GB of RAM so it's a little more usable for me). I found that my experiences paralleled a lot of the people out there. Parallels had a bit better graphics response, but fusion for me boots it quicker, and i have no problems at all running anything I want with it. Parallels I had some performance issues outside of the video subsystem that just frustrated me too much. Both have their flavor of a "coherence" or whatever they call it mode, where you could actually not even have the virtual machine "visible", you'd just see your Excel application running on your dock like any native OS X app does. And they both did a good job of that for me (that's actually how I run my Outlook since I really can't stand Entourage).
    So any answer will be a "valid" answer, but you're really the only one who can say whats going to be the "right" one for you.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Boot Camp for Windows 7 64 bit on 21.5" late 2009 iMac

    I've read much about installing Windows 7 64 bit on my 21.5" late 2009 iMacs -
    - nevertheless there is some lack of clarity about how to do it right.
    First I read "http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup10.6.pdf".
    That's all well and good, but nowhere in this document is that "USB storage device trick"
    (see "http://support.apple.com/kb/DL995") mentioned! On the other hand, in that DL995
    description there's nowhere mentioned that there are additional steps to do afterwards!
    OK - first I prepared my USB storage device according to DL995, made a 201GB partition,
    inserted the 64 bit Windows 7 DVD and ran the installation without any problems.
    Windows works, but brightness and volume controls for example don't work.
    (When I press F1 I get Windows help etc.)
    I can't find Boot Camp installed under Windows anywhere!
    After the same installation on my second 21.5" iMac everything looks identical
    with the exception that under "Bluetooth Devices" on one machine there's
    "Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse" installed - on the other
    machine NOT, even tough I've NEVER used Bluetooth devices any of both
    machines (just used wired Apple keyboard and USB Trackball).
    How can this be? What's wrong?
    Before I continue (OS X disc, 3.1 update... if required at all?),
    how can I verify that the USB storage device had been used at all?/
    How would it look if it wouldn't have been used?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your reply.
    You inserted and ran Apple setup off your OS X DVD once W7 was updated and running?
    That adds a bunch of devices and services, OSSwitcher, TimeServices, the Boot Camp
    control panel, and would show Boot Camp version 3.0 in Programs control panel.
    Yes, I know, but I haven't installed it yet. First I want to make sure that the first
    step of the installation (DL995) worked well. on both Macs. Do you know how this
    could be verified? What should have been installed from the USB device?
    It puzzles me that on my 2nd iMac under "Bluetooth Devices"
    "Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse"haven't been installed.
    Maybe this is a clue, that on that iMac the USB device had been ignored
    during windows installation? Or could that have another reason?
    This is my problem at the moment.

  • Can't partition during Boot Camp for Windows 8?

    Backup your user data files off the machine to a storage drive (not only TimeMachine as it might fail to restore) and disconnect everything else.
    Reboot the computer and hold command option r keys down (wired or built in keyboard) on a Ethernet conection to your router or modem (power off/on modem to reset) use Disk Utility there to Repair your internal drive.
    Reboot the machine normally.
    Use Disk Utility and select the internal Macintosh HD partition, then click Erase Free Space (Zero) and move the slider one space to the right and Erase. You can't erase the entire Macintosh HD while booted from it, so your data is safe, this will only erase the FREE space. This will take some time so let it complete.
    Next head to BootCamp and attempt to partition again, if it fails, then see this User Tip of mine to shift OS X data up.
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."
    If your still having problems, it's likely a bad drive and or a gltich in the 10.8.3

  • HT5639 after The Boot Camp for Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

    after i made The Boot Camp Setup  for running Microsoft Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

    thanks for the response
    1. Yeah I thought that's a mandatory thing because i need to be able to control the brightness with my keyboard, updated graphics card, boot camp control panel, etc
    2. No there's no enable for this because Windows 8 recognizes it as a "disconnected device" and asks me to reconnect the dvd drive to the machine (which it obviously already is).
    3. Ive tried those before, also even editing the registry but it didnt work.
    It's weird because it never happened before on Snow Leopard » Lion bootcamp driver updates. Just in Mountain Lion

  • I am using Macbook pro 15" late 2013, Does my boot camp support Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit?

  • Boot Camp for Macbook Pro "Windows 8"

    Hello. Excuse me my ignorance. I have MacBook Pro > http://www.zzounds.com/item--APLMBP17
    And I installed Windows 8.. I can't find Boot Camp for it.. Help me please...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Windows 8 is only compatible with Mid 2010 15-inch or newer MacBooks Pro, and your computer is older, so there aren't drivers for Boot Camp in Windows 8 for your MacBook. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    You could install Windows 8 because your Mac is compatible, but Apple decided not to give Boot Camp compatibility with Windows 8 to your computer, so it won't work correctly with Windows 8. You can continue using it with Windows 8 or you can install Windows 7 and download the Boot Camp drivers, so it will work correctly

  • I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit.  Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help.  Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

    I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

    Typing the body of the thread message in the title, huh? -)

    Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
    Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out.  --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
    You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
    I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

    Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
    Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
    The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
    Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
    Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
    Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
    Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
    When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
    Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
    How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
    Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
    Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
    Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
    If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
    If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
    Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
    Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
    Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
    64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

  • Will boot camp run windows XP on a Mac book pro retina

    Will boot camp run windows XP on a Mac book pro retina

    No. The newest Mac OS X version capable of setting up Windows XP or Vista in Boot Camp is 10.6.8, which is too old for that Mac model.
    You may be able to use it inside a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
    So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
    Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
    Thank you.

    Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.
