Bootcamp driver download failure

I just got a brand new MacBook Pro (9,1) and since this one is replacing both my old mbp and dell pc, I need to install Windows via boot camp. The boot camp downloader fails to complete. After many hours it just sits on around 25% with no progress. (Why didn't they just include the drivers on my mbp like they did before? Seems like a silly decision to force people to download it.)
My question is: where can I download the pkg manually? I can then do this on my Windows machine and get the drivers across to the new Mac. I found a blog post that seems very complicated, involving reading xml files and trying multiple urls in that file until you get lucky. There must be a better way, since I see many people complain about the driver download that doesn't work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

BootCamp drivers download failure

Hello comunity, i am a very begginer with bootcamp and it is the first time I try to install Windows. I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2012 not retina. So I open bootcamp, choose my storage device for drivers and they start downloading but got stucked in a quarter of the whole process. I´ve updated mi OSX to the lastest but the problem persists. Please if some of you have the same problem or its just my internet connection. I´ve seen some videos and in none of them does this problem appear. Thank you

Bootcamp Assistant 5.0 - Driver download feature

Hello,
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and I was wondering about the driver download feature in Boocamp 5.0. As far I can remember, this function would not work in mid 2010 MacBook Pros.
Has this issue been fixed in the latest Bootcamp Assistant version found in Mountain Lion?

If you already have bootcamped Windows from Lion, the Setup.exe and the Drivers Folder whose contents are installed by Setup.exe, in both Bootcamp 4 & 5 have the same date and are the same size so you do not need to get drivers or run Bootcamp 5.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.
http://www.paragon-software.com/downloads/demo.html
I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Hello jwellesp ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some installation issues.
Lets start off by removing the usb cable from the printer and the computer and leave it disconnected until further notice.
Download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
The wizard will give you connectivity options so please do not connect any cables until prompted to do so.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

What is the proceedure for replacing a hard drive (after failure) for RAID 5 with IX4-300D?

I have the IX4-300D with 4 hard drives (identical Seagate drives) using RAID 5.
Someday a hard drive will fail and I and I have to replace it. I read through the users manual briefly and I didn't see any documentation on how to perform a hard drive replacement and not lose any data.
So here are my questions:
1) I know per the instructions that Lenovo prefers using identical hard drives. Let's say in 2 years, 1 hard drive fails. Most likely, the same model Seagate hard drive will not be available. So will using a replacement hard drive by the same manufacturer with similar specifications work?
2) Will the front panel (or the software) tell me which hard drive has failed?
3) What is the proceedure for replacing a hard drive after a failure occurs? I read that the IX4-300D is not hot-swappable. So do I just power the IX4-300D down, replace the hard drive, and turn it back on?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi exceptionalht,
It is best to replace the hard drive with one that is the same manufacturer, rotational speed, and capacity, so it does not have to be exactly the same model.
The front panel should show which drive has failed. If not you can check the web interface to find out.
That is the basic procedure for replacing a hard drive. You can see a more detailed instructions here: Installing hard drives in an ix4-300d

Windows Crashes with Bootcamp Driver Instal

Just loaded Windows XP SP2 on my new IMac...partition and Windows load went fine. When I loaded the OSX Windows drivers, per the instructions, after quite a few driver installations, the blue screen of death came up stating Windows was closed due to errors (twenty digit error number...who in the world would know what that means). This happened several times after numerous attempts. Bottom line; everything (Internet, ISight, etc.) in Windows works except no sound...so a lot of drivers where loaded. Downloaded the latests Apple update for windows and latests windows update. Device manager states all audio codecs, etc. are fine...but no audio is detected in audio manager, and no sound. Sound in OSX is fine. I suppose there is a driver download available, but I could not find a sound driver on the OSX install disk for bootcamp...if there is one in the OSX install disk, you'd need to be a cryptologist to figure out which one it is. So, could the OSX disk be bad for the driver install?? If so, would that screw up the Apple for Windows update, which should have loaded the right drivers??

For MacPro 2008, BootCamp (OSX Disk 1)->Drivers->RealTekSetup.exe (Not in a sub folder) is the audio in my case. You should be able to run individual rather than whole BC setup.

It just says driver installiation failure when i try to install it. I've tried restarting my PC and phone. I've been into device manager andunder wireless communication devices it has nokia 6210 navigator USB phone parent with an exclamation mark next to it and the device status says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
ive tried uninstalling the drivers from the device manager window and installing from windows update, which does install drivers, instructs my to restart my PC and after i do it shows the same error in Device manager again.
PC Suite says i have a 32 bit system but the only version of PC Suite i found was a x86 and x64 bit combined package.
Here is some info about my system;

What is the connection method, cable, bluetooth or IR? Cable

Hi austempest
I just tried a quick check at the Windows 7 Compatibility Center (http://bit.ly/4uZDu2 ) for “PC Suite,” and the search came back that the Sony Ericksson PC Suite isn’t compatible. There was no tangible return for “Nokia PC Suite,” but I’m beginning to think that perhaps you could try either installing the entire Suite in compatibility mode, or at least try installing the driver in compatibility mode.
Here are a couple of procedures:

When using my Linux PC to try and locate drivers for another PC, the website just keeps sending me in circles and never displays the drivers to download. Seems like in the past this has been a problem too. This occures with latest version of Firefox-37.0.1 and the current version of Chromium-37.0.2062.120 Built on Debian 7.6, running on Debian 7.8 (281580) (64-bit).
Navigate to hp.com

Unable to load driver download page.

I was called by my dad who needed some assistance to get a printer installed he bought fresh from a second hand store.
Anyway, I tried getting to the HP download page. The page however remains blank and does not load. I found some similar threads that availability to the driver pages is sometimes inaccesible. I don't want to get ahead of things (like assuming it's the fault of HP), and I also don't want to be a jerk (I love HP seriously)
But I have had very frequent issues in the past with multiple machines on different networks while accessing HP webpages. Either because of extreme long loading times through any hp web service. And in this case unable to access pages completely. Just a reminder that it might be a area of business to improve upon albeit a minor focus point for the people that run this company.
I read similar threads on this board through google searches that the same webpage (driver) page could be accesible through different international domains. I tried the german and spanish ones with the same results.
I tried accessing the driver download page for over 4 hours now.
Maybe it's just a issue with the driver page of my printer type. Especially since it is a older model.
Personally I don't know about safe alternative download methods to get the drivers.
Please post-
1:If you consider the fault to be at my end and how to fix it.
2:If there is any other way to get my hands on the printer software.

Hi:
The problem is on HP's end.
The link is now working.

Yes, I agree with you that there have been too many times in the last year that the support pages are down.
There should be a performance metric that is part of whoever's job it is that is in charge of the webpages (webmaster?), and there should be measurements of accessibility which should be part of the person's performance evaluations.
For example overall: Webpages never go out more than 1% of the time each year, etc.
I have found it quite unacceptible lately, and if this person worked for me, they would be on the carpet.
I was the commanding officer of a USCG LORAN station back in the 1980's
The mission of the station was to provide a radio navigation signal 100% of the time.
Anything short of that, and you better have a darn good reason why the station went off air.
You go off air too many times, how do ships and planes find their position?
I can tell you this, if my station had gone off air as many times as these web pages have been down lately, I would have been relieved of command.
Plain and simple.

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??

How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??
posted Thursday, 02 August 2012 at 07:43AM PDT, by Matthew B. | @QHereKidSF
SIMPLY-PUT !!
I am desperate to know of any possible workaround solutions that might resolve inexplicable failure(s) to download iTunes 10.6 (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) in Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 Browser for Windows 7 (64-bit) OS...!!
FURTHER DETAILED !!
In an aimlessly ill-informed effort to troubleshoot the "Please install Apple Application Support" ERROR Message reported subsequent to my numerous attempts to "repair/install" the most recent and otherwise previously up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & iTunes on my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC, running on the Windows 7 (64-bit) OS... I mistakenly (perhaps?) thought it wise to attempt to execute a complete uninstall/reinstall of both QuickTime & iTunes. Oops... YIKES !!
Somewhere along the knotty entangled threads of my most circuitous web-research, as I browsed for information and instructional resources regarding proper procedure for (re)-installing Apple Application Support (amongst other peripheral software programs provided by Apple, Inc. as integral technical components essential to seamless & successful installation, application and operation of the most current/up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & Apple iTunes), I seem to recall reading explicit suggestions from well-rated community support contributors to proceed with the aforementioned course of action...
Unfortunately, now that I no longer have either Apple QuickTime or iTunes currently installed on my Win7OS HP Pavilion Notebook PC, I continue consistently to fail at initializing either a functional download or installation solely of iTunes 10.6 -- so far!!
When I link to the Apple iTunes 10.6 Download URL (listed herein, above!) and click the (blue) DOWNLOAD NOW Button located near mid-center of the left-sidebar in the presumably appropriate/correct browser tab window (fully framed and immediately visible in maximized view, on my screen), what seems then to occur is pretty much what one could only image/explain &/or describe as "zip/zilch, nothing/nada, absolute silence, stillness: a blatantly obvious failure to initiate functional download of anything at all, whatsoever...!!"
Not a single hint of code or even a mere bleep/beep/blink/blip in my Win7OS or HP Pavilion Monitor Display appears before for me; ultimately, suggesting without any real certainty whatsoever that a download of the iTunes 10.6 Software Installation Package has perhaps initialized, successfully...!!?
WHAT TO DO? What to do? ...ARGGHHH !!
I am desperate to find a workaround solution with which to troubleshoot and ideally resolve these persistent difficulties I continue to encounter when attempting to download iTunes 10.6 via Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 on the Win7OS (64-bit) of my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC!!
Might there possibly be anyone -- anyone, at all!! -- out there, somewhere amidst the knotty entangled nets broadly cast far'cross the endlessly great and expansive waves of this worldwide cyberspace we share, who perhaps would know of a proper workaround fix with which I might troubleshoot my current web-computing technology crisis??
If indeed so, please do come diving face-first forward toward me... with any decent amount of valuably trustworthy information, instruction, advice, guidance, support or even encouragement that you might be readily willing and able to provide!! Please, please...!!?
Any worthwhile, effective assistance that's provided to me (in as short an order as possible) would be most sincerely appreciated & acknowledged widely across the web by me... with resounding cries of humble recognition, admiration, and deeply indebted gratitude!! At least, that's only as much as I can so far surmise to guarantee, at this point -- thus far and so moving forward!!
Yes, indeed...!! That's a promise which I intend to keep; should all issues be resolved well much for and in my favor, as well as much, much sooner rather than far-too much later -- hopefully, even by the end of the coming day; one might say... *sigh* Hehe. WINK/GRIN...
Boy o'boy, now... That sure would delight me to the nth-infinite degree, indeed! "As heck a'heaven-high: FOR SURE!!" I dare say...

Where can I find a driver download for scanjet 4300c windows 8.1 64 bit

I need a free driver update download for the hp scanjet 4300c scanner using windows 8.1, 64bit

Hi @J13,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you are wondering where you can find a driver download for your HP Scanjet 4300c for Windows 8.1 64 bit. I am happy to look for this for you!
According to this drivers website, HP Scanjet 4300c Scanner Drivers, as well as this guide, Scanners not supported in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. This product is not supported for Windows 8.1 64-bit. The last driver released for this product is for Windows XP.
However, as a workaround, you can try to download the Windows XP driver, found at this website, ScanJet 4300C/Cse/Cxi PrecisionScan LTX software/driver, and then run it under compatibility mode, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows. It is not guaranteed to work, but worth a try.
Otherwise, I would recommend upgrading to a new model that is compatible with Windows 8.1. Here is a list of Scanjets that are compatible and supported, with Windows 8.1. Scanner driver and software support for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
Hope this information clears things up for you, and happy new year!

I am planning to format my Retina MacBook Pro. However, I have a bootcamp partition. If I were to format my Mac, will the bootcamp drive be gone too?

I am planning to format my Retina MacBook Pro. However, I have a bootcamp partition. If I were to format my Mac, will the bootcamp drive be gone too?

It all depends on what you do.
If you reformat the partition containing OS X then nothing will happen to the BootCamp partition.
If the other hand you reformat the whole disk then it will be gone.
Why do you think you need to reformat the drive?
