Bootcamp Drivers Installer stuck at installing iSight

I don't know why the installer stucked at installing iSight. Also, I tried to manually install Apple drivers but it also stucked at 'Copying files'. What happened?
This Windows was converted from Parallels Virtual Hard Disk and cloned to Bootcamp disk.
Will this affect the installation process?
Cuz' I don't get any Windows disc.

I'm sorry, I mean ' Searching drivers for device' or something

Where are the Bootcamp drivers on the Leopard install disc?

I have an older generation MacBook Pro (about April 2007), and it was running fine with Leopard/Bootcamp 2.0 and Win XP Pro until recently. In the process of trying to fix it, I installed the Bootcamp 2.1 upgrade, which killed my bluetooth capability. I want to roll back to the drivers that came with my Leopard installation disc, but when I insert the disc (running Bootcamp with Win XP), I can't find the drivers. I've searched the disc for a .exe file, and it's just not there. I even rebooted in OSX and right clicked on the Bootcamp Assistant (in Applications/Utilities), but did not see the executable there either. Any suggestions?

Hi Stefan,
I'm afraid my Windows partition is hopelessly screwed up! I tried MacDrive on the Windows side and on the Mac side -- no executables showed up. I tried uninstalling the Mac-XP drivers, but they wouldn't uninstall. Finally, it occurred to me that I might be able to see the drivers if I rebooted in OSX and opened Parallels -- and it worked. I downloaded the Drivers folder to my OSX desktop, then went back into the Windows side of Bootcamp, and copied it to my Windows desktop thru MacDrive. But when I ran it, the installation never completed. I tested it by trying to add a bluetooth device, but I couldn't get Window to pair with it.
I think my current problem is that I can't uninstall the Mac drivers (the 2.1 version, which started this mess) from Windows. Do you know why this is happening? More importantly, do you know of a way to fix it, short of reformatting my Windows partition and stating from scratch?
Thanks,
Casey

ITunes installation stuck at "Installing Apple Application Support"

This is the first time I have tried installing iTunes since I recently bought an Apple product. Problem is, the installation gets stuck at the very beggining of the process. The progression bars stays empty no matter how long I leave the window open. The window won't even close when I try to cancel, I have to nuke everything via the task manager.
I have Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit.

Hi Ariel,
I thank you for your post, but after following the guide I am still not able to install iTunes successfully
Empty your Temp directory and restart- Done
Completely remove iTunes and related components- Done
Install the latest version of iTunes- Done (unsuccessful)
Make sure you have administrator account access- I am using admin account
Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters- tried from desktop
Do you have any other suggestions please?
Thanks,
Claysche

Installation Stuck while installing Common & Company DB on remote SQL Serve

Hi Forum,
I have two PCs - PC A and PC B. PC B has MS SQL 2008 R2 installed. Completely new installation and no other DBs. The SQL Server is called by the name of PC and it is "PCA".
On PC A, I am trying to install 8.81 SAP B1.
Step 1. The installation of server tools went throug fine. I can start the Service Manager, click on Settings->ConfigSecurity->MSSQL_2008, PCA, sa,passwd, OK->Connected Sucessfully.
Step 2. I choose to install Server Busines One Server->Database Already Installed->
ServerName: PCA
I choose to install CommonDB and USDemoCompany.
Step 3: On PCA I can see, SBO-Common is created. It has all the tables and stored procedures etc. But no Data at all.
Error : On PCB the installation is hung or stuck at "Server performing requested steps" and shows Computing Space Requirements, Common Database.
That's it, the installation is stuck no processor activity on either PC.
This is the second attempt. I did complete uninstall and reinstall. I tried with SQLExpress and 2008R2. Same installer Hang on both situation.
Please advise. Thank you.

The installation proceeded to near completion of remote database. SBO-COMMON installed without any errors on remote machine. However, SBODemoUSA and SBODemoCA had these errors :
B1_VattAcctView Failed
B1_DocLineView Failed
....and three more views failed.
On starting client on PCB, the client is unable to start or load any demo company. This is the error:
"Unable to Connect to companies in current server as algirithm is not updated; run common upgrade to update security algorithm".
Remember I am trying to hit database on remote server that is installed on PCA from client that is on PCB.
I have installed latest 8.81 licenses on both PCA and PCB.
Any idea how to get this installation with remote database working?
Note: The current server on Choose Company points to PCA.
Creating new database gives this error: Invalid Company DB (remember config files point to PCA remote machine for db).
Thank you.

Ports aren't working in Windows 7 even with bootcamp drivers

I installed bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and got the bootcamp drivers from Apple and installed them, but none of my ports work except for the disk drive, magsafe, ethernet, and headphone jacks however. Firewire, and USB ports do not work, and I have no clue about the Thunderbolt or SD card slot but those don't matter.
Can someone please link me to correct drivers to fix the issue or tell me what will fix it?

I tried that first and it blue screened twice before it actually installed. It got most things working like the volume and gesture support for the trackpad but the issue is still occurring. If you can tell me which driver specifically goes to the USB ports that's in the bootcamp folder then I can assign it to that.

I can't install, repair, or remove BootCamp drivers from my Windows installation

I have Windows XP SP3 installed on my Macbook Pro. When I installed Windows originally it failed to completely install BootCamp drivers, so I don't have advanced trackpad and keyboard features. I've downloaded the latest BootCamp drivers v3.2 that still run XP, but I always get a message saying that "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installin this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2753." I don't have anything in C:/Program Files/Bootcamp (It doesn't exist), and the Bootcamp icon in Control Panel doesn't work.
I can't install, remove, or repair the drivers, not even using the software that came with my Mac OS X install DVD. On the Mac side, I'm running Snow Leopard. I've searched Google for help and couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any ideas? I've already gone through the registry and removed a bunch of Apple-related stuff, but it didn't help.
Thanks! Shayne

At last I got it all to work. I had to go into the registry and delete all references to Apple software and drivers. Some of the entries were locked, and I had to change permissions to allow me to delete them, which was probably the reason the installer kept failing. I finally got Boot Camp 3.0 installed off the Snow Leopard DVD and then upgraded to 3.2. I had a hickup with the trackpad drivers which didn't work, but I found a fix online -- the drivers labeled "TouchPad" were banged out, and I had to switch them to Generic USB Human Interface and then back to Apple TrackPad drivers, which fixed the problem. Now everything is working beautifully with multi-gesture touch pad and keyboard extensions. Yay!!!!!

How to install bootcamp drivers without installation disk?

iam using my friends macbook (intel core2Duo 1.83 GHZ, 80GB, 1GB DDRII, 12"", white colour)Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed, and i hav'nt installtion disk, and i want to install windows on it, but how will i be able to install bootcamp drivers as i have'nt installtion disc.

Look as a part of right click-2fingers at a same time you should press on the touchpad.
and check your macbook,the slot where you put the speakers wire if the drivers are not install then a red light will come from it and if not then it means that the drivers are all install.
and try to install the drivers from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp
Hope your problem get resolved.

Some BootCamp drivers are not installing...!?

Hello everyone.
I've recently installed Bootcamp and WinXP Pro x32 on my new MacBook Unibody.
I got a very unpleaseant surprise...
The drivers for the wifi, ethernet, bluetooth, processor aid, chipset and isight are simply NOT installing. I'm getting the "new hardware found" notification every time I boot up, and when I try to upgrade the drivers of these "unknown devices" @ the Device Manager control panel, no adequate drivers are found. I've re-installed the bootcamp drivers that came with my MB like 10 times, with NO luck.
HELP!

I'm having a similar issue...
I don't have access to the Leopard CD, and I'm not paying Apple 12 bucks to ship me the CD I already own just because I left it in my dorm over interterm, but that's neither here nor there. The point is I installed XP, downloaded the drivers and installed them. The only appreciable difference after installing the drives from the installer I downloaded is that there is now the boot camp task bar icon. None of the other drivers got installed, though the installer listed them all and went smoothly.
If it helps any, this is a re-install. I wiped the windows partition clean in Disk Utility and re-installed from the same CD I used before. The only difference is this time I don't have the Leopard DVD to install the drivers from.
Any help?

Install Windows 8.1 BootCamp drivers on old MacBook (Late 2008)

Here is how I installed BootCamp drivers for 8.1 on my old MakBook (Late 2008):
Download Boot Camp 4.0.4033 (Drivers for old MacBook is in this version)
Install Windows 7, then WIndows 8.1 (There are other threads on how to do that).
After Windows 8.1 installed, try to install Boot Camp 4.0.4033 again !!! (Reason: Only this version has the drivers for old Mac like mine)
Download and install InstEd on Windows 8: http://www.instedit.com/download.html. You need this to modify the BootCamp 4 MSI installer to allow you to run it
Run InstEd, click File > Open, browse to your <BootCamp_4.0.4033>\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder and choose BootCamp64.msi.
Click LaunchCondition on the left-hand list.
Select all the rows then right click Delete Rows. (Take a look, you will find thses are the messages you saw when you could not run the installer)
Save the file with a new name (I used bootcamp4.msi) and quit InstEd.
Now, you can install the BootCamp 4 drivers on your Mac, by click the Setup.exe (Yes, this will also instll TrackPad driver for old Mac)
The BootCamp 4 service application itself is not compatible with Windows 8.1, (not the drivers). So just download BootCamp 5.1.5621, and install it (Tip: InstEd).
After restart, click the BootCamp icon in the system tray. Set up TrackPad, Keyboad, etc. (How is this possible? Because the drivers were installed by BootCamp 4.0.4033.)
Unstall InstEd, if you want.
Enjoy!

And I used this method:
1. Install Windows 8.1
2. Download BootCamp 5 and unzip to folder BootCamp5 of a USB drive
3. Start CMD as Administrator
4. Install BootCamp 5 by entering the following commands
D: (Assuming the USB drive is assigned to letter D
CD BootCamp5\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple
BootCamp.msi
No need for InstEd might be considered by some as even more elegant as bezodziu's method

Installed WIndows 7 & correct bootcamp drivers, windows will not activate "hot fix" or "Support drivers"

Hello, i hope someone can help,
i have repeated this whole process 3 times already, it has taken 8 strait hours of my time and i still have had no success.
QUICK SUMMERY
To put it simply, After windows is up and running on my mac, the wireless network wont work, so i cannot download the hot fix, and the support driver files from bootcamp will not open because it says they are not "32 Valid" ?. But im using a 64bit disk.
The wireless network adaptor automatically doesn't work on windows right after installation,
so i had to load the Hot Fix onto an SD card along with the bootcamp drivers, then open the hotfix file in windows.
The first time i was able to install the fix, windows restarted and installed the update, logged back on... and nothing changed.
At that point i attempted to open the "Setup" file in the bootcamp support folder, and an error message came up saying it wasn't valid.
LONGER EXPLANATION OF MY COMPLETE PROCESS: (to cancel out any questions)
i was able to find my support driver from here:
http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged -1.sucatalog
its some old fashion coded page that has a bunch of apple drivers you can download by pasting one of the codes in your browser,
i searched for bootcamp support drivers, and found the code for my exact model (Mac Pro 8,2)
i was able to manually downloaded the drivers instead of using bootcamp assistant.
As a side note,
i was able to download the bootcamp drivers via boot camp assistant after the 5th try,
so now i have both files that i know are supposed to work 100%. they are loaded and unzipped on an SD card like they are supposed to be for when i open windows.
I have a Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium x64 bit CD from the inlaws so i used that CD after i partitioned my drive in bootcamp.
Bootcamp run like it was supposed to, and i followed step by step instructions in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVfRQ0YIDUI&feature=related
once windows was finished installing,
it automatically would not detect a network card, so i couldn't connect to the internet and download the apples bug fix. (The Hot fix)
instead i downloaded the hot fix on a separate SD card, turned windows back on and loaded the hot fix from the SD card.
Windows installed the hot fix update, restarted, but nothing changed.
Ive even tried skipping right to uploading the drivers, and windows wont activate the support because it says its not "32 Valid"
I completely removed windows 7 vis bootcamp to rinse and repeat hoping i made a simple mistake, but no same thing happened.
Conclusion
-im Wondering if i should "Istall important Windows Updates" during the begining of windows preperation...
maybe that will fix the issues of it not reconizing wierless network, and not being able to upen up the bootcamp file?
(it says you are not supposed to install any windows updates untill the HOT FIX and BOOTCAMP SUPPORT is activated on windows)

You have been too cleaver for a Boot Camp install.
The partition system does NOT like anything other than a standard arrangement which creates 4 partitions.
EFI -200mb
OSx - Extended Journaled
Buffer-200mb
Windows -NTFS
Return to OSx -Open Boot Camp tool from the utilities folder reset to a single partition.
Start again and when you get to Windows - Let all the drivers load on the CREATED partition. Use the External for storage !
Just for your information, as it doesn't seem you have ever used BC.
When starting the boot camp assistant the first thing it want to do is download the Windows Support drivers and asks you to save them to a DVD, it will also allow you to save them to your OS X hard drive or to any drive connected to the system. Once those drivers are downloaded it then starts the Win install. What you must do is copy those support drives to a media that Windows can See and Read from. Like a DVD or a thumb drive formatted FAT32
No where in the OPs post does he say anything about fooling with any partitions on his internal drive other then creating the BC partition.
His problem is he saved those support files to a Mac OS X formatted external drive. Windows can not read Mac Extended (Journaled) formatted drives. So he can't load the drivers for Windows until he copies those support files ove to something that Windows can read.

Partition not big enough to install bootcamp drivers (installed windows 7)

I installed bootcamp, partitioned a drive to 6GB (thought it was 16GB)
installed windows 7 pro and went to install the bootcamp drivers so I can switch back to Snow Leopard and it won't let me install the drivers because the partition is so low on space. I don't have any other application on the windows 7 partition as i just installed it. I even tried to create room by deleting the sample photos, music and videos, which got me to a point where i could start the installation then it stopped cause it got too full again.
How do i get my mac back to snow leopard? OR how do i make my partition larger so I can install the bootcamp drivers?
HELP!

Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition. Use Disk Utility to erase free space.
For Win 7 and others you need to be considering a much larger partition size. I would recommend a minimum of 30-40GB. It depends on what you need Windows for. But my needs are such that several hundred GB are usual for my Boot Camp partitions.
Remember that just like Mac OS X, Windows needs free space for paging files and behind the scenes workspace.

How to install bootcamp drivers on Windows 8?

Hello,
Today I decided to install Windows 8 onto my Mac Pro running 10.8.5 in order to play games on Steam. I started BootCamp assistant and made a 65GB partition for Windows 8, and when I tried to install Windows I unchecked the top box (not sure what it said now). Now I have a Windows computer, I CANNOT get back to OS X. The Mac Pro will not boot into OS X, it just goes straight to Windows every time. I've read that there should be some place in Windows to switch back, but I cannot find it. I tried holding down the option key upon boot up at the gray screen, it still goes straight to Windows. I tried holding command R at the boot up screen, it goes straight to Windows. HELP!! I picked the 60.5GB partition to install on, could it have somehow erased my OS X partition? Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers from Windows?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jared

[Enable Bluetooth functionality after a clean installation of Windows 8|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03FI0001R04.htm]
If a clean installation of Windows 8 has been performed, Bluetooth is not present and does not work on your notebook. It is necessary to install two driver components manually to activate the Bluetooth functionality.
- Toshiba System Driver
- If your notebook is equipped with an Atheros or Realtek WLAN card with Bluetooth, you have to download the Atheros or Realtek Bluetooth Filter Driver
- If your notebook is equipped with an INTEL WLAN card with Bluetooth, you don't need to download any filter driver

Installing Windows 7 Bootcamp Drivers after OSX has been overwritten

I previously overwrote my OSX+Win7 bootcamp installation in favor of Linux Mint 15. There were some video driver incompatibilities with my Macbook Pro 7,1 (Mid-2010), so I have re-installed Windows 7. Because I no longer have OSX, Bootcamp is not available to me in any way. In Windows 7, I cannot right click, adjust the screen/keyboard brightness, eject discs (I can eject during startup, but not once Windows is running), and there's probably more that I can't do. This is just what I've found out so far. After some Googling, I found a download link for the Bootcamp drivers for Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro Mid-2010 model. The file is a .pkg file, which to my knowledge, is useless in Windows. Am I ever going to be able to install these drivers? Do I need some software or to burn some kind of image to a CD/DVD? I would really like to keep this installation of Windows 7, at the very least for iTunes. I'm fairly good with these computer things, so just let me know what options I have here haha... If all else fails, I can install Mint or Ubuntu. The video driver issues aren't anything TOO bad, but they're annoying enough that I'd rather use Windows at this point.
Thanks for any help and suggestions and stuff!!

TLDR; Macbook Pro 7,1 only has Windows 7. DOES NOT HAVE OSX. How can I install Bootcamp drivers? I already have a .pkg file, but I can't use that with Windows.

[HELP] I can't install the bootcamp drivers on my mac.

Hello people.
I have a problem and i wish if you could help me with.
I have an iMac Early-2009 ( 2.66ghz C2D / 4GB 1333mhz RAM / GeForce 9400 256mb ) with Mountain Lion 10.8.4
The problem is that, i can't install the drivers from the bootcamp app ( the one from the bootcamp itself app, where you need a USB to download it)
i've already partitioned the HDD, and installed succesfully a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
But there's one little issue, when i try install the drivers i downloaded before on my USB, it says that "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model".
BUT, what? i've installed correctly the Windows 7 64bit on the iMac.
I can't install anything, but only graphics driver. ( manually)
I searched in every forum trying to resolve my problem, i've read that you can install it from de DVD with Snow Leopard that came with the computer
but that disk is broken; it's annoying because it seems that is the only solution , with that resulting on a dead end.
I could install my NVIDIA drivers, using the ones from bootcamp drivers, BUT USING THE WIN_32 version because the WIN_64 was unsupported by my machine. ok, i could install the drivers and was the 263.03 i think.
Now i want to upgrade to my lastest drivers ( 320.14 WQHL ) and says that can't detect my gpu. but the old driver that came with recognized it with no problems. I tried also auto detect GPU, and the same drivers but no result.
Anyway, the main problem is that is "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". with a Windows 7 64bit copy installed on the bootcamp partition. this is ******* me off
I sucessfully installed on my Macbook Pro Late 2008 ( C2D 2.06ghz / 8 GB RAM / 9600m GT ) and everything fine, a Windows 7 64bit. installed the drivers and everything fine, even accepted the lastest drivers (320.14 WQHL) from nvidia. but that was on Mountain Lion 10.8
but since 10.8.3 only lets you install only 64bit, i can't search for a copy of win32bit and install it because, it's going to be the same problem anyways.
So if you could help me out with this *** problem.

I have an iMac (24-inch, Early 2008) — iMac8,1 and I have exactly the same issue. Now, I'm running Mavericks, unfortunately.
On the one hand, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986, I see:
"Do all Intel-based Macs support Windows 7?
All Intel-based Macs support Windows 7 using Boot Camp 3.1 or later except these:
iMac (17-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (17-inch, Late 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2006)
Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)"
So, I should be good.
However, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, my iMac is not supported in Boot Camp requirements, which would have been nice to know before I purchased a copy of Windows 7. I cannot get the Windows drivers to download from Boot Camp, and when I download them manually, whether version 4 or 5, I get the "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message, which makes the HT3986 information unhelpful. I even tried a Snow Leopard CD while in Windows, and it gave me the same message. I tried one of the 3.x Bootcamp files, and still no good.
The funny thing is, I ran Bootcamp to create the partition for Windows 7, and it even popped up a message stating that Windows 7 was the latest Windows I could install on that machine, and the installation went fine. However, I am missing who knows what drivers, etc, because Apple won't provide the Windows support software for a machine that evidently can run the software. The graphics drivers appear to be fine, as the aspect ratio corrected itself, something that didn't happen on my MBP without having the Windows Bootcamp software. I also have wi-fi, which is better than some experience.
I even cannot get the little Boot Camp Windows icon/software that should be accessible in the system tray, so I can set preferred system to boot in, tell it to boot into OS X, etc. So, for that, I would have to rely on rebooting while holding down the ALT key, and my non-Apple keyboard for some reason won't do that (but that's another subject).
I guess there is nothing to do other than just do everything manually, piece by piece, unless someone has a solution that is eluding me.
