Bootcamp assist support software download hangs, bootcamp assist support software download hangs

bootcamp assist support software download hangs in the middle -about 20% level - any solution? please

The proxy setting is an issue for some, System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies/ make sure everything is UNchecked.
The Apple server is extremely slow and unreliable for some people so it's just a matter of retrying a few more times.
Here's what a quick search turned up.

    How long did you wait for the download to run?  The last time I downloaded the Windows support files for Boot Camp, it was going very slowly, so I swapped away to another task.  Several minutes later I came back and it had moved a little, but not much, so I went on with other things.  When I got back to it several hours later, the download had completed.  Perhaps you just need to let it go overnight to perform the downloads...

  • I am trying to install windows on my mac via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available.

    I am running OSX 10.6.8 Snow lepard I am trying to install windows on my intel imac 20in late 2006  via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available. I bought the Imac secend hand and did not get the install dvd's with it What can I do?

    You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
    Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

  • Windows Support Software Unaviable when trying to download using the assistant

    I can't download the Windows 7 support software using the asistant it, the program tells me is a network error, i've read in the forums that you can use the OSX dvds but my macbookpro I bought my macbook this year and it came without any installation DVDs anyone know a workaround to this problem?

    For the sake of full disclosure, I skip the Assistant part, I still use Apple drivers.
    That makes it easy to clone and use Windows as 100% native as a PC.
    NTFS from Paragon supports Windows in its own control panel as Startup Disk and write.
    HFS from Paragon improves on AppleHFS to mount and provide read and write support.
    Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Suite handles Windows 8 management.
    Note that with Windows on its own drive you 'boot' from System Reserved partition for Windows, not from your Windows volume. Should be 100MB for 7 and 350MB for 8.
    PLEASE, OP, read the guide etc. There are no DVDs for Lion, so it is download only.
    There is a link to Boot Camp 4.0 but you really want 4.01+ Shame. Downloads take couple minutes (600MB file, so whatever your broadband can handle). That is the way it should be.
    It has been crippled and can't be just a fluke.
    I think most would like to download from the AppStore for free or small fee $2.99 if that would work and give you the latest and be done in 10 minutes.

  • I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

    I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document...

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

    2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
    So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

    if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
    bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
    running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
    parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
    it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
    just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
    plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
    which it is not when it's in bootcamp

    Hi,
    Try the following
    First of all, uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    When this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
    http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
    After the installation, restart the notebook again.

  • When trying to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software, error says: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    You need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.

  • Having problems downloading the latest Windows support software by Apple

    Hello, I am trying to install Windos 7 in my imac, via bootcamp, but every time I try to download the latest Windows support software for my imac, using bootcamp assitant, in the beggining of my download a message appears that I can not download this software because it is not available in the Software Actualizations Server. I have seen a lot of videos as to how install windows in my imac, followed every step, but I keep on having this same problem that does not let me finish, and in the videos they do not say anything about this issue. I have had this problem since yesterday. If anyone can help me, thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I do not recommend to download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, as it often fails.
    Instead, most Macs can download the Windows support software from the Apple website. Go to this website, and choose your Mac model and the Windows version you wish to install (under "Boot Camp requirements by Mac model"). Finally, download the correct Windows support software

  • Can not download Boot Camp Assistant

    I'm trying to download Boot Camp Assistant on my MBA, but it always stop and giving message as: download could not continue, an error occurred while downloading Windows support software
    I don't know how to fix this problem, anyone have experience on this?

    64 bit.  I found the support drivers and got the windows installation done.  When trying to run the 64 bit support drivers in Windows 7, it says my computer doesn't support 64 bit.  Sooooo.....
    I'm assuming I have to download the 32 bit support drivers for Windows 7.
    Correct?

  • MacBook Pro won't download the Windows 7 support software

    My mid 2010 13" MacBook pro cannot download the windows 7 support software from bootcamp. Bootcamp claims that it is not connected to the internet, however, it is. I have tried connecting to the internet via ethernet also, but no success. Is there a fix to this problem or maybe an external link?

    i am a OS10.7.4 user. yesterday i bought a Lacie external hard disk but error message appear said " You cant open the applicant LaCie setup assistant because PowerPC applicants are no longer support". please help me how to connect my mac with Lacie??

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

  • Trying to install HP Download and Install Assistant on my ASUS laptop

    I'm trying to install the HP Download and Install Assistant, from the HP Support website, on my new ASUS laptop so that I can connect my HP Officejet 4500 printer to my computer. The application seems to download, but is hung up in the "installing" process. It has been running for over an hour without any resolution, saying it is still installing in the dialog window. I don't know how else to get my laptop to recognize and connect to this printer.

    Hi,
    What is your Officejet 4500 ? It must be G510something. You can download DIRECTLY, much quicker.
    Regards.
