Boot camp key mapping error

How can I get the tilde key to work in windows 8.1 running on boot camp? It seems to have mapped the tilde (`) or with shift (~) key to output a (\) or with shift (|). The tilde key is used to open the console in many windows games (like skyrim) so I was wondering if there was a way to fix this problem.

The method I used for Windows 7 SP1 which may work under Windows 8 was to uninstall the Apple Keyboard driver that BootCamp installed and installe the slightly older one from BootCamp 5.0.5033.
Old driver was 'Windows Driver Package - Apple Inc. Apple Keyboard.......'
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Look in Drivers/Apple for AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe.
Hope this helps as it a lot easier solution than some of the other fixes out there.

I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.

As made clear in the title:
I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.
My computer recently had a kernel panic, which apparently the corruption was in the system and needed to be erased and re-installed. I have a complete back-up using an external hard drive, and I am definitely not willing to do another one of those to reformat a partition that is already singular. I restarted the computer after ejecting my back-up, and after turning off time machine (thinking that boot camp was recognizing it as a secondary partition), however the error still occurs.
Is there any way to get around this?

From my very basic knowledge - it still looks as if there is only one partition (not including the windows 7 CD necessary to install the windows partition).

Boot camp install would error out

I had multiple issues as well.
When I first tried to install 8.1 full as a fresh boot camp install it would error out and say that the required files were not there to install.
Then I would try it again and it would then get close to finishing and say it cant change the boot order and fail.
Apple please fix as soon as possible.
<Re-Titled By Host>

What's happening here is that the Windows installation, for whatever reason, is not booting properly. It is also set as your default boot system. To change this, reboot your mac while holding down the Option/Alt key. After awhile you will be presented with two icons, one for OS X and the other for Windows. Select OS X and then press Enter.
OS X will boot. Go to System Preferences >> Startup Disk and then select your OS X partition and this won't happen anymore.

Boot Camp Problems: Disc Error?

Hi All,
I hope this is in the right forum, if not - I'm sorry!
Have just tried to install XP Pro using Boot Camp, on a 20Gb Partition. Boot Camp created the partition smoothly, and XP installed all of the set-up files onto the new partition.
When it come to restarting the machine however, I had the option of booting from disc again - after that option times out, I get a message "Disc read Error" or something along those lines.
I do have the option of restarting by hitting any key, however the system just freezes!
Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
Also, should Flight Simulator 2004 run smoothly on Boot Camp running XP?
Your help is much appreciated!
Simon.

I just spent the weekend dealing with this.
Credit to this Austrian guy diagonalinho who posted this in a different thread. I had a little trouble understanding his instructions (looks like English is not his first language) so I am posting the summary that I wrote for another person having the same problem. Credit goes to diagonalinho though.
First, I think someone already mentioned that the reason you are having the problem is because Boot Camp Assistant formatted the XP partition as FAT32. It needs to be NTFS. Windows Setup is supposed to ask you how to format the new partition (see page 13 of the Boot Camp manual). If your experience is like mine, Windows Setup never asks that question. It simply goes from you selecting the C: drive (Boot Camp manual page 11) to the installation process (a blue screen yellow bar marking progress as things are copied to the partition).
Here is a link to the manual that I'm referring to if you don't have it already: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/BootCampInstall-Setup.pdf
I do not know why the format step is being skipped in some installs but not in all. Call it an "undocumented feature" (e.g., bug).
Here is how to fix it:
Boot Camp Assistant should have instructed you to insert the XP CD in the drive and then it will restart. This is what you want. After some time, you will get a blue screen with white text in the upper left hand corner that says "Windows Setup." On the bottom of the screen there will be some words telling you this and that is loading. Keep an eye on this. It will slowly list a bunch of things that it is loading. Toward the end, it will say something like "Starting Windows Setup." At this point, press and hold the F10 button. Keep holding it until you get a black screen with white text.
You are now in the Recovery Manager. You will be asked what volume you want. The only choice you should have is 1. This is your new Windows partition, it is not your Mac OS partition. YYou may safely type "1" (without quotes) and press return. Then, the prompt will look like this:
C:\WINDOWS\
At the prompt, you type "cd.." (without quotes) and press return, the prompt will now look like this:
C:\
Now, we are going to reformat your windows partition as NTFS. To do so, at the prompt type the following without quotation marks "format c: /fs:ntfs" When typed into the prompt, it will look like this (pay close attention to spacing)
C:\format c: /fs:ntfs
It will give you a warning and ask if you are sure. Type "y" and press return. It will take some time to format and you will see a percentage counter counting up from 1% to 100%. When it is done, you will be back at the C:\ prompt where you will just type "exit" and press return.
Now, Windows Setup should proceed normally.

MBP Firmware Update = Boot Camp and other errors

Hey everyone! I'm a college student in Oregon and a proud owner of a Macbook Pro 15" 2.16ghz since last April. I have had no problems until the latest firmware update. Everything was great until I couldn't start up the MBP at all. I talked to Applecare and they made me force boot into Safe Boot and delete all my startup items and magically, it was starting up again in Mac OS X again. I thought after that, that all my problems had been solved but more seem to be coming to surface.
Because I'm an engineering student, I have to have Windows on my MBP so I installed Boot Camp in August and everything went without a hitch. Windows XP Pro installed great and I installed the driver cd. After the firmware update, I've been getting some weird things happening. For instance, whenever I start up and hold the Alt/Option key (like it says to do), right after it plays the Apple sound, you can hear things spinning up (like normal) but then slowing down and this faint echo of the Apple sound that happens three times. After holding the Alt/Option key, it still doesn't show the Boot Camp selector screen so then I restart and then, if I'm lucky, it'll just go straight to the selector screen and I can go from there.
One more error is that I'll be in Windows and go to adjust the brightness on the keyboard and the computer will lock up for 2 seconds and instantly restarts and get stuck in boot. I have no idea why it does this.
I have all recent updates. I have reinstalled and repair the drivers in Windows. Any help? Thanks!

Hey, I have been having what seems to be similar problems. You can go under "My questions" and see the problems I have been having. Basically troubles installing Windows XP. Hopefully when Leopard comes out it will fix all this.

Late 2013 imac 27" bootcamp install of win 8.1 pro, boot camp driver setup errors out

I installed windows 8 pro via boot camp. then once the win8 install completed the boot amp driver setup began automaticly. it errored out at some point with the below error
Boot Camp Install completed
he installer incountered errors before the boot camp could be completed.
To retry these operations at a later time please run the installer again.
What is this error? It does not give me anything to go on. it seems like most of the drivers were installed fully, but there is still a divce under device manager that is not installed completely. Also, I don't have the boot camp icon in my system trey in the bottom right corner of my screen.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Windows 8.1 Boot Camp Setup App Error

Hello All
FINALLY managed to get Win8.1 installed on boot camp, but came across a familiar issue (when I tried with Win7): driver setup isn't working in Win8.1
Win8.1 boots up fine, but i have 5 device drivers that didn't install properly:
Bluetooth USB Host Controller
Ethernet Controller
FaceTime HD Camera
Network Controller
PCI Simple Comm Controller
I've downloaded the file from Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 (I'm using an early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina, 15"), and tried Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 as well, with no luck
When i click on the boot camp setup file E:/BootCamp/setup.exe (provided by either download in the links above), i get the error "This app can't run on your PC, to find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher"
Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes I have the same problem. I am using a Kingston USB 3.0 Windows-to-Go (TM) Certified 64GB storage device. I used Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 bit edition to format the device. I used Microsoft's own directions to format the Windows-to-Go device to be compatible with Macbook Pro specifically to use the Macbook with the Kinect v2 API. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kinectforwindows/archive/2014/07/28/developing-with-kine ct-v2-on-a-mac.aspx
I can boot my Macbook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 using the USB 3.0 windows-to-go drive (using alt / option upon boot to select the USB device). Windows boots and after BitLocker will allow me to log in to the computer's desktop. I can navigate, clumsily (no right click support) to device manager and see there are no drivers installed for things like network card, bluetooth, important things, etc.
I download the 5.1.5640 Bootcamp drivers from this URL (Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640) and then unzip them to the root directory of a USB 2.0 drive.
I boot the Macbook using the USB 3.0 drive then mount the USB 2.0 drive with the downloaded Boot Camp drivers version 5.1.5640. I navigate to \BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\ and double-click on BootCamp.msi. I then receive a Windows 8.1 error dialog that reads "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher". This is not a helpful error message.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to "trick" Windows into ignoring the "app can't run on my PC" check to unpack the files and allow me to at least try installing the drivers one-by-one?

Can't use Boot Camp due to error with files

I am trying to partition the hard drive on my mac and install windows so that i can run windows based programs and other reasons, but my mac is not new and it is harder than brain surgery to locate all the files i need to back up and the ones i dont. when i open boot camp, it starts partitioning the hard drive for a few minutes and i get the error message: The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use disk utility to format it as single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again. i cant format the disk because the computer only has one disk. and i cant format it. Please help!

A very good way to handle this is to buy CarbonCopyClone ($40 download) and an external drive. Then clone your startup disk to the external, and clone it back.
What has happened is that after several years you have created so many tiny unused disk spaces (some only 1 or 2 blocks large) that OSX cannot relocate everything and make room. When you "clone back", all files will be in a large section at the bottom of the available disk space and there will be plenty of room for BootCamp.

Boot Camp setup.exe error message

So I installed Windows 7 Home Premium using Boot Camp on my Macbook Air and everything worked. However, my mac didn't come with an OS X disk, it just came with the OS X. Anyway, so I found setup.exe in the USB with all the drivers in it. So I ran it but recieved this error message:
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an 86x (32-bit) of 64x (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
How can I fix this?

This also happens whenever I try to install drivers seperately.

Boot camp re-install error 2753

Hi everyone!
I just solved a big problem with my boot camp i spend 7 hours...
MAC BOOK PRO
WINDOWS 7
BOOT CAMP 3.2
After deleting boot camp 3.2 i tried to install new boot camp 3.3 but it doesnt work.
The most interesting - boot camp 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 doesnt setup too. - Error 2753.
I go to the internet to find answer. A few peoples wrote to download and install BootCamp 2.0.1, and after it 3... I found only version for xp and vista. No for win7.
After 7 hour i found a solution. Error 2753 happens because of file c:/windows/system32/AppleOSSMgr.exe. I just deleted it and try to setup again. And it works!
For all who receive error 2753 when setup bootcamp! Just try to delete file c:/windows/system32/AppleOSSMgr.exe
IT SIMPLY WORKS!
If it does not work for you - look up Windows Installer LOGS to see in what moment happens error.

There were some foolish suggestions, the part of going back to 2.0. typo?
Did you mean "delete" or proper method, uninstall?
Apple made it messy, getting better now, but you needed 3.0, and then upgrade to get 3.3.
Apple OS Switcher part of Apple Services msconfig and found in control panel Boot Camp is "handy" but not 100% essential (I ran Mac w/ Windows only and never needed to change default / could be done from Mac side Startup Disk and write the variable to NVRAM).
Going back to 3.0 is all. And when Lion and BC 4.0 came out and were buggy, people needed to uninstall BC 4.0, then go back to SL DVD BC 3.0.
Editorial: (skip if you are so inclinded):
What Apple should have and has transitioned to is to download the newest full package.
That was suppose to be part of Boot Camp Assistant, and intro'd in 10.6.6, but it rarely (10% success?) worked (more field testing, us) and got better with 10.6.8.
Of course with LION this became the only method to get a set of Windows drivers, BCA and wait and download and store locally.
MS Installer Cleanup Utility use to be helpful for such chores.
Turning off services is still possible along wth Startupitems.
Had you asked here, can't recall, but Windows 7 came out after 10.6, Apple though didn't rewrite BC 3.0, they just said, and confused people, with "you need Boot Camp 3.1" and of course in some cases 3.0 was so bad people could not reboot into Windows and HFS read-only was also 'hazardous.'
Sometimes seems like a) $30 for Lion just for drivers, and b) Intel and every motherboard manuf has to provide drivers for their products to add chipset support. And it is not this bad or require old out of date buggy drivers in order to install the correct ones you need.
End Editorial / Back to OP and discussion:
I don't recall in 5 yrs ever once seeing that error code mentioned and posted here. Kind of thing that sticks and I'd remember, and bookmark as well as search on MS and Bing.

Boot Camp driver update error

I keep getting Error code 1603 whenever I try to install the boot camp driver update under Windows Vista, it says something about a restart pending in the event log but I've restarted twice and it hasn't changed a thing, is there any way to fix this?

right click on my computer, go to manage, then to device manager.
Under display adapters, remove everything, may ask to reboot, try rebooting or just run installer again.
This fixed it for me, i tried so many things before i found this fix.

Key Mapping error

Hello All,
I'm working with MDM 5.5 SP4.
I've created a repository (in the MDM Console) with the option <i>Key Mapping = Yes</i>. Then I import data from 2 client systems (CRM & ERP)successfully.
However after data consolidation, the option edit key mapping (in MDM data manager) is not available?
What is wrong? Any idea?

Hi ,
Have you mapped the remote key in your main table while importing the data in the IM ? For example, if you are working with the customer scenario - map the incoming source customer number from your CRM system to the remote key field in the destination. Make a clone of the custoemr field & then map it to the custoemr field present in the destination.
Similarly follow the same process while importing the data from you ERP/other system. Now if you right click on a record in the DM you will have the key mapping.
Hope this helps !
Regards,
Anita

I checked the Windows drive for viruses and deleted them all
I tried repairing Windows by booting from the Windows XP disc and clicking repair

To remove the driver in XP, go to Start and click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
In Vista, follow Start >Control Panel > Programs and Features >Uninstall or Change a Program.
Either way, you'll get a list of installed software. From this list, select the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver, and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
To reinstall this driver, point yourself to the following path on the Windows Support CD (part of the Leopard DVD or your original Install Disc 1 that came with your unit).
\Boot Camp\Drivers\Intel
If you have a 2006 model, run the Intel945?????Setup.exe program (where ????? is the name of your Windows version.
If you have a 2007 model or early 2008 model, run Intel965?????Setup.exe
You can also download a more current, albeit more generic driver from Intel's support site, but the Apple driver is safest.
If needed, download Boot Camp 2.1 from Apple to update the driver further.

Hi Sivaram,
Keymapping process is improved a lot in the latest patch release.
however, for java heap error, you are left with only one option that is excel based keymapping.
Please refer to the user guide for the same or you can map the object one by one using the keymapping GUI as you were doing before.
Suggestion is to upgrade to the latest patch of SAP b1 and intercompany both.
