Boot camp is stuck copying Windows files.

I've quit Boot Camp and re-opened it. I've restarted my computer. I have no updates available. I've reinstalled Maverics and also downloaded Boot camp from a third party. Nothing seems to work. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina Late 2013) and have OSX 10.9 installed.
I've also followed many other threads that have been "resolved" but non of which actually fix this problem.
PLEASE HELP!

Are you trying to install Windows from a USB drive or DVD? If you have got the USB drive or DVD with Windows, make sure the option to create a USB drive is unticked when you open Boot Camp Assistant.
The Late 2013 MacBook Pro needs special Boot Camp drivers that can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant, so remove the drivers you downloaded, close Boot Camp Assistant, open it again and start the download again. This process may take up to an hour, depending on your Internet connection.
Then, the installation should start. Follow these steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf

  • Boot camp assistant stuck while 'Copying Windows files...'

    At the moment I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit using Boot Camp 4.0.1. I have the iso and i'm at the step where Boot Camp Assistant creates a Windows 7 install disk on a USB flash drive. It gets most of the way through the process and stops here, http://imgur.com/Kcxl9 everytime. What can I about this?

    Creating DVD on USB
    Not all USB devices work
    Disk Utility we know is not well suited to burning ISOs
    I would assume the flash drive could be a 'maybe' and it would need to have Master Boot Record partition table.
    I take it the Mini is like the Air in not having a superdrive, and that Assistant provided a driver to support USB-DVD function?

    There is a Mac OS X program for burning an ISO that should work too.

    At startup hold down the Option/Alt key and from the screen that comes up select your OS X partition to start the computer from. Then use the Boot Camp Assistant app to Remove Windows and the partition you reated for it and it will Automatically place the space you allocated for the Windows install back into the OS X partition.
    NOTE:
    Do NOT use Disk Utility to erase the partition that was created for the Windows install. Use the Boot Camp Assistant app again to do that.

  • HT1461 For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

    Why don't you  (generic most every post lacks critical details) be clear and say you never used Mac OS etc.
    But, I did try to anticipate and give you what you needed.
    Excel is one of those rare programs that, if they are extremely large complex spreadsheets still tend to run better under Office for Windows.
    A VM won't do for that but it does make it easier to transition. As in: install Windows natively, then use VMware Fusion or Parallels to attach to the partition and OS. That way you can run Windows as Guest OS VM under Mac; and still run Windows natively dual-boot when needed.
    The word "see" was not what you wanted, was it? really? you want to open and make changes and keep it on Windows side rather than Save As or copy to Mac
    You use Windows and don't know it has NTFS (NT FileSystem)?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_File_System (HFS) native file system used by Apple
    And there is much more UEFI style "bios" and other things I suppose.
    Great thing about Google and encyclopedias or dictionary, you can look up what you don't know.

  • Boot Camp Assistant ejects The Windows intaller disc

    Hi to everyone,
    iMac:
    - Intel-based iMac (late 2008).
    OS and Hardware:
    - Mac OS X version 10.5.7
    - Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00
    - SMC Version (system): 1.30f1
    DVD Drive:
    - OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A
    - Firmware Revision: 1AHN
    I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro OEM SP3 (version 2002).
    I launched Boot Camp Assistant 2.0 and created a 32 GB Bootcamp partition. So far so good, then I'm asked to insert the Windows installer disc. I do what is asked then wait a few seconds and click "Start Installation". After about 20 seconds or so, Boot Camp Assistant ejects the Windows disc and displays this: "The installer disc could not be found." I re-insert the disc but the same thing happens again and again.
    This is what I tried before posting here for your help:
    I quit Boot Camp Assistant and tried to insert the Windows XP Pro installer disc and it won't mount at all and will eventually be ejected.
    I thought the disc might be damaged so I inserted it in a PC and everything seems right with the disc. I can see all files using the PC computer that is 5 years old.
    I thought it would be a firmware problem with my iMac so I accessed this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 and it seems there is no firmware update required for my iMac.
    I execute the command Apple>Software Update and there is nothing to update.
    Is there someone able to help me?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    I solved the problem myself. This might help others.
    Recap:
    The Windows XP Pro CD was always ejected by Boot Camp and it wouldn't mount at all when inserted in the CD slot. The CD was however readable on a Windows Machine.
    It was not easy to detect but the Windows CD was physically deformed. It wasn't flat. It was a little convex (the outer edge was higher than its center). My iMac wasn't able to read it at all but a PC was able until I decided to test it with a full install on the PC. About half way during the installation, it stopped and an error message was displayed by Windows Setup "Disc Read Error - Disc might be damaged".
    I ejected the CD and discovered the deformation. So I carefully placed the outer edge of the CD over a ring and put some weight on its center to try to undo the deformation. I've waited 2 days then retested the CD and it worked at the first attempt. My iMac was happy and so was I. I made a security copy of the CD while it's still readable in case I have to re-install later.
    I find Microsoft cheap of putting their Installation CD in a paper sleeve. If the CD have been stored in a CD case this would not have happened.
    End of the story.

  • Mac Mini 2011 boot camp freezes on loading windows screen.

    I bought my mac mini 2011 server, have upgraded it to mountan lion and mountain lion server and wanted to install windows on it. I have microsoft windows 7 professional OEM system builder edition on a dvd, a LG portable super multi blue rewriter, a corded mac keyboard with number pad, a HP mouse, and a hdmi monitor. I have not upgraded any features on the mac, it is original.
    I updated all software, well except a printer driver that I don't have the printer of anymore, and ran boot camp. I tried to partition my entire hard drive for it, however that did not work. I then tried to partition half of the first hard drive and that did not work either. I tried unpluging the mouse and keyboard and it still won't work. I bought the copy off of amazon and it appears to be legal. I just always get stuck on the "Windows is loading" screen. The loading bar, a white band across the bottom of the screen, always goes across the whole screen once fast, then makes it's way to the farther left side of the screen and then hangs there indefiniteley.
    Any suggestions? more questions about the situation?

    Mini mini, there are problems with mini and esp. server version.
    What I think others have said: cannot use OS X Server, had to use Mac OS X client
    External LG is not supported. Doesn't come with an internal SuperDrive though does it?
    The system builder is fine.
    Just one story (there are others, I need to collect all the "Mac Mini Tips" together, I can't remember and keep them straight otherwise.
    HDMI audio in Windows 7 64 bit 
    reinstalled the Intel video drivers and audio worked immediately.
    My config:  2011 Mac Mini 2.3, Intel 3000HD video
           .   .       upgrade to 8GB ram
    Samsung 8000 series LED TV connected with HDMI
    Memorex external BluRay writer(USB only power)
    After partitioning drive with boot camp and reboot, install Windows 7 with install wizard.
    When asked whether to allow automatic updates say 'no', then complete installation and run boot camp tools for Windows.
    Because the network driver gets installed prior to the Intel video driver, Windows will install the Windows Update Intel video driver which breaks HDMI audio.
    When auto updates are off, the Intel video driver that is correct gets installed last. 
    HDMI audio works with this driver.
    Apple should install the Intel video driver first and it would solve this problem.
    I now have full blown 3D BluRay support on the MacMini with TruHD audio, fantastic!

  • Boot camp assistant stuck

    Hey, I use OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1) and I want to boot camp a windows 7 on my mac. I've read the boot camp for mountain lion instructions and I do all the things always like it says. But I think something's gone wrong, the boot camp assistant stuck in " Downloading windows support software ". I've tried to download BootCampESD.pkg but the link is not found. Then, I tried to use this link http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-lion.merged-1.sucatalog it's downloading and jump directly into app store, but nothing's appeared. Please help me, I can't install visual basic that's being studied in my school. I can't do my computer task !!

    I am not going to get into an argument here which I might add feels a little like you are wanting too, or trying to point out to others that apple verified apps and software are better, something we all know and agree with you with. Either way I will try and explain again
    I had windows on a partitioned drive before I upgraded to mountain lion it was no longer there afterwards and needed it back on the Mac.
    I looked it up on support and went ahead and started. Boot Camp wanted the latest windows software only didn’t happen so looked it up. I kept getting error messages after error message and every error message I would look up the solution, nothing was helping to get those files down. 
    Now this could be because the wireless was a bit slow because even igetter was having to resume a few times either way I had them in the end.
    The thing is I have it done now and I might not be an expert like some of you on support however myself and I am sure a few others like myself can only try what support tells us a couple of times before we give up and look again for a solution  and if they had been working on it for as long as I had, start to look at any reply that someone has that might help. Then if it does great say thank you and move on.
    I am not having a go at you, Apple or the support group nor saying to use third party apps, I would and will still always use Apple first.
    I will have a go at Mountain Lion though because like I said I had no problems with my computer until I upgraded and hoping the shut downs and freezing up are just teething problems or bug that might be fixed on next update.  
    I have my Mac partitioned now it took many hours and a lot of searching to get it done though and still wouldn’t be if I didn’t read what support and other people wrote.

  • Boot camp assistance to install windows 8

    im using a macbook pro 13-inch late 2011 with mac os x 10.7.2 which has bootcamp 4.i want to install 64-bit windows 8 on my mac.i found out you need boot camp 5 to install it.can i install windows 8 on bootcamp 4 and then update to boot camp 5 when running windows?or do i have to update to bootcamp 5 beforehand?if so,how do i do that?

    From Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
    Requirements for all Windows installations
    In order to install Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, you need the following:
    An Internet connection
    An administrator account in OS X to use Boot Camp Assistant
    The keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your Mac (If they aren’t available, use a USB keyboard and mouse)
    A minimum of 2 GB of RAM, 30 GB of free disk space are recommended if you are installing Windows for the first time, or 40 GB of free disk space if you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows
    An authentic Microsoft Windows full install disc or ISO file
    A built-in optical drive, or a compatible external optical drive is required if you are using an install disc
    8 GB USB storage device, or external drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) to install the downloaded drivers

  • I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically.  I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive.  will that delete the windows partition too??

    I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto.  I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system.  My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too.  If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • Boot camp not working in windows installer

    When I install windows 7 I get to the select partition section. I get a message after selecting the right one saying "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information." Not sure what to do from here. Anyone have advice?

    Boot camp assistant, delete/remove windows
    Restart machine and do a pram reset
    Open disk utility, repair permissions twice and confirm that you only have 1 partition on your drive
    Restart bca, check all 3 items (create, DL, install)

  • 2012 MBA 11 boot camp can't download windows support software?

    I just got 2012 MBA 11 today, and I tried boot camp assistant to download Windows 7 driver, but it fails saying " Can't install windows support software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server". Is it because my MBA is too new and I need to wait for a few days, or other issue?
    Please help.
    Lu

    Is is really aggravating not being able to download the drivers for my MBA 11 2012. I've managed to get the video and wireless working using the Intel drivers for the video and the Broadcom drivers for the WIFI. I am using the Lenovo drivers for WIFI:
    http://download.lenovo.com/UserFiles/Driver/en/Downloads%20and%20Drivers/G470G57 0/Updated%20Win7/IN1WLN80WW5.exe
    Open the .exe file in Winzip and just take the Broadcom folder.
    I hope this is fixed at Apple soon.

    <Edited By Host>

    It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
    1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums.

  • Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

    Hi!
    I am getting the error:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.  The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
    I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
    Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

    This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
    Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
    Then partition.
    Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
    You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

  • HT3986 How do I install Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows?

    So I recently installed Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012).
    There are no drivers, and no Boot Camp Control Panel installed with Windows. How do I install all of this?

    In Boot Camp (OSX) download the Windows Support Software, then install it in Windows.
