Boot Camp Update from 1.4 (beta) on WinXP Pro

I need some help. I have a 17" MBP core 2 duo running WinXP through Boot Camp 1.4 (beta). On the Mac side I use OSX(10.4xxx) - Tiger NOT Leopard.
I would really appreciate it if someone could post a 1,2,3... list of how to update my Boot Camp version. Do I even need to do this? Will it make anything better on my computer?
Also - the Boot Camp update is not showing up in the Apple Software Update (in Windows). I downloaded the Boot Camp update for XP and nothing happens when I try to open it. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris:
Fortuny is right. You will need to have boot camp 2.0 installed before you get 2.1 installed. You have version 1.4. you must first update it to version 2.0. For that you will need the Leopard Installation Disk. I know you are running Tiger however if you happen to have a Leopard Installation disk then the solution posted [HERE|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1499769&tstart=0] will work for you.

  • Can I install Boot Camp 5 from Win 8?

    I have a late 2011 Mac Pro tower running Windows 8 and Boot Camp 4. I have had Windows 8 ever since it came out, that means that I upgraded to Windows 8 with the last version of Boot Camp 4 (with no issues BTW). Now there is Boot Camp 5,  and I want to upgrade my Mac Pro to Boot Camp 5, but the installer of version 5 tells me that I need Windows 7 to install Boot Camp 5. I already have installed Windows 8.
    How can I upgrade to Boot Camp 5 from Windows 8 in my Mac Pro without going back to Win 7 or by formatting my drive?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!!!

    Thank youn for the reply...
    This is what I get when I try to install from the USB drive...

  • Boot Camp Update failure

    Hello good people, hopefully someone can help.
    Issue: Boot Camp Update 2.1 failing to install.
    I recently did an erase and install on my MacBook. I have run through the steps provided by the installation guide (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/). I then went to the Apple Software Update program within Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit), selected Boot Camp Update and selected Install 1 item. I then selected Boot Camp Update Download Only from the Tools drop down menu. I then opened the Open Downloaded Updates Folder...selected the downloaded file and selected Apply. that procedure produced a system restart. Restared and tried again, same result.
    I have tried the above steps with security software enabled AND disabled.
    Does anyone have a step by step resource to sucessfully install Boot Camp Update 2.1?
    Thanks for reading, if you have any questions or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    Do you have 10.5.5 DVD or later? you may not need 2.1, and it was a two step update, first to update Apple Software Update itself to 2.x, then to update other components.
    Some programs like iTunes, Safari 4 beta and others include an Apple Software Update (and cannot be not installed, it gets installed regardless of choosing not to).
    Some problems can be related to default language settings.

  • Update Boot Camp 3.3 to 5.1 on Mac Pro 3,1 (2008)?

    I currently have Win 7 Ultimate 64bit running on my Mac Pro 2008.  Boot camp version is 3.3 although OS X is 10.9.3 Mavericks.  I recently installed a flashed AMD 7950 which works great in both OS X and Windows 7 although I seem to have lost the ability to automatically sleep in Win 7.  I'm using latest AMD drivers but that hasn't cured the scheduled sleep issue (I can make the Mac sleep manually without problem).  The only other changes have been the usual Windows updates.  At this point, I can't determine what's preventing my Win 7 install from sleeping so I'm contemplating upgrading the boot camp drivers from 3.3 to the latest to try and narrow down any potential conflicts.
    My concern however is Apple's lack of official support for the early 2008 Mac Pro's and Boot Camp 5.  Is there a specific difference at the hardware/driver level to preclude me from skipping BC 4 and upgrading straight to BC 5 drivers in my Mac Pro?  If I do run into driver conflicts, can I downgrade to BC 4 without screwing up my current Windows installation?
    Many thanks for your help.

    You may be able to use Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 provided the hardware is not significantly different.

  • Boot Camp Update to 2.1 don't work

    Hello,
    I am new here. My MacBookPro runs now 2 years without problems.
    I upgrade my HDD to a 500 GB model and it works fine.
    The Windows Vista Business(now the English Version) don't accept the Boot Camp Update to Version 2.1.
    Before I have used the German Vista Business and it works fine.
    My Idea is, get the Boot Camp 2.1 from a new Installer DVD and install it. It should work. Or I wait until the Apple Update Service fix the problem.
    I don't know? Do I really need this update? I update the Nvidia Driver allready separatly to fix a problem with my second screen and it run well.

    Hmmm, please read carefully. It isn`t a problem with Boot Camp, I think.
    Please tell me, if I am fail.
    Boot Camp run perfectly on Vista 2.0 from my Leopard Installer DVD and 2.1 from the new Leopard DVD. I don't have one of the new DVD now, but a friend try it out allready. It run's. My question is, why I can't install Boot Camp 2.1 with Apple Software Update? In the German Version of Vista Business I don't have these problems. Why now with the English Version?

  • Manually Removing Boot Camp Software From Vista?

    Hello!
    I accidentally deployed Boot Camp to the wrong machine, installing it onto a desktop PC instead of a Mac running Windows. The machine is running Vista Home Premium SP1. Now when I try to uninstall it it won't uninstall. I was able to uninstall the drivers, but I can't get Boot Camp Services to remove. I was able to delete the Boot Camp folder from Program files to remove the taskbar app, but the Boot Camp Control Panel is still installed, as well as it's still showing up in add/remove programs.
    Does anyone know what registry key I need to delete in order to remove the entry in add/remove programs, & where is the control panel file located so I can delete it? If I manually delete these two things, Boot Camp will successfully be uninstalled from this machine.
    I know I made an ignoramis mistake, & wish I would have double-checked the machine before deployment.
    Thanks!

    FIXED IT! After inserting my OS X CD, finagling around in Windows Update & Add/Remove Programs, IT'S GONE! All fixed now!
    Now I just need to watch my deployment much more carefully.

  • Boot Camp Update Does Not Install Completely

    I posted a question with this title back in April. Lots of others were having the same problem (trying to go from 2.1 to 2.2).
    Finally found a solution, but could not post it on the original question because the topic had been archived. I will post it now as an answer to this question.

    Here's the solution. Easy but far from obvious.
    I found another thread where the advice given was to uninstall any third party video drivers used, for example, to mirror the screen to a remote video projector.
    I tried the update once more (to see if Apple had fixed it) and it failed as usual near the end of the update process, with a generic error message that was no help at all. Then I uninstalled a video mirroring driver that I had installed a year ago. Tried the update again and it worked just fine. I was able then to update to Boot Camp 3 from my Snow Leopard install DVD, and then to update it to the latest. I will later try re-installing the video mirror driver.

  • Can i "copy" a 200 GB boot camp partition from Mac Pro to MBP?

    i spent a lot of time working with virtual machines and i have decided i simply have to increase the size of my mac pro HD and put a boot camp partition in it.
    can i COPY a 200 GB windows 7 boot camp partition from my 1 TB Mac Pro drive to a 200 GB partition on my MBP that will have a 500 GB drive?
    this would let me focus on doing a full install and full setup on the Mac Pro and just copy this over to the MBP (when i get the new drive) saving me a ton o time.
    TIA
    Also, is this something for WinClone?

    hi kappy. THANK YOU.
    is it possible that you or anyone has actually done this machine to machine and partition to partition?
    i want to avoid a situation where i try to do this only to find it works better or is much simplyer to the the fresh install on the MacBook Pro just fresh.

  • Boot Camp moved from MacPro1,1 to MacPro5.1...

    I have a Maxtor serial ATA hard drive which I put into my MacPro1,1 when I got it years ago, partitioned it with Boot Camp back then, and installed Windows XP Pro 32 bit on it (the other partition was a backup boot partition for Leopard). Over the intervening years, I'd kept Boot Camp updated as I moved from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    So I got a new MacPro5,1 and removed this hard drive, placing it into the new Mac Pro.
    Here's the thing:
    The BOOTCAMP volume does not appear anywhere in the Finder, even though the other partition ("Leopard") does.
    I can launch Disk Utility and see the physical drive and it's 2 partitions; the BOOTCAMP partition is greyed out, of course, since it is NOT mounted. I can click on the BOOTCAMP partition in the listing, and see that it is "not mounted", and it is formatted as "Windows NT File System (NTFS)" and that it is 33.46GB in size. If I click the "Mount" button, I get an error message:
    MOUNT FAILED
    The disk “BOOTCAMP” could not be mounted.
    Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting.
    Running Repair on the volume does nothing - no report of errors...
    I can open System Preferences, select the Startup Disk preference pane, and the BOOTCAMP volume is not listed.
    So - seems like I'm dead in the water. However, if I reboot holding the "option" key down, BEHOLD, the BOOTCAMP volume is there in the bootpicker screen, can be selected, and will boot to XP just fine. I did run the Bootcamp updaters after getting booted into XP, that went fine. Rebboting back into Snow Leopard was no problem.
    OK, so what's the problem? I need to be able access that NTFS volume from the Mac OS. *sigh* Any insights?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    An update-
    I did a repartition on another of the drives in my tower, then used Boot Camp Assistant to create an NTFS partition on it; this partition showed up on the desktop just fine. Then I used WinClone to image the existing Boot Camp partition, and then I restored the image to the new Boot Camp partition. And guess what - that partition now will not mount either.
    *sigh*

  • After automated update from Firefox 4 beta to RC I lost my profile

    After this morning automated update from Firefox 4 beta to the RC the browser created a new profile without importing the existing one .
    So, please help me to recover my data.

    ''it looks like the new version creates the default profile in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ I've copied the files from the older location (C:\Users\My _user\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\) and the problem is solved.''
    ''if this is the intended behaviour, it sucks!''
    This is not normal behavior. The default Firefox profile folder should still be located here, on Windows Vista: <br>
    C:\Users\< user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>.
    <br>ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows
    Restart the computer and make sure you are logged into Windows as the correct user, by entering '''%USERPROFILE%''' into the Windows Start Menu "Start Search" box. Once you are sure you are logged in as the correct user, try starting Firefox again and see if you are using the old Firefox profile folder (go to Firefox -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Open Containing Folder")
    You can also create a new Firefox profile with a unique name - see [[Managing profiles]] - then find the new profile folder and use the instructions here to copy over your data:

  • Early 2014 Macbook Air Boot Camp update?

    Hello support community,
    I have recently switch to Mac, and find the machine very easy to work with. But still i miss some windows application, and i thought that my Mac would have boot camp support. I have never been so wrong, as the boot camp cannot download the lastest updates
    So, my question is, do anyone know when they will release official Boot camp update for this Macbook air early 2014?
    Also, should i play it hard using the rEFIt? Driver conflict may be an issue there.
    Please help, and sorry if I did anything wrong, as this is my first post.

    I'm afraid they are not the case. I prepared a FAT usb, the copying process was done, and it stuck right at the "Downloading updates" kind of things for hours. After some research, I deducted that this is because, according to recent boot camp update, the MacBook Air 2014 is yet to appear on the list of supported devices.
    Guess I'll have to wait a bit more.

  • Audio problem with boot camp when I connect my windows 7 macbook pro to HDTV

    I have windows 7 32 bits installed on my macbook pro and I setup boot camp 4. When I connect my macbook pro to HDTV using mini display cable, the audio doesn't work. Although I set the default sound device to digital audio? help please!

    I've found that jiggling with the audio connection to my Mac Pro when running in Boot camp, I get audio OK. I don't understand why -- because I always get audio when running in Leopard.

  • 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.
