Bootcamp drivers Windows 7 (64 bit)

I had my mac replaced because of a screen defect... for some reason after installing windows 7 back on it I cant seem to get the boocamp drivers to work properly. The closest I got was having my keyboard lit all the time but no buttons were working... or trackpad. I DID have this working before and I just remember installing drivers... maybe I have tried the wrong ones? I have went through several and no success so far. So I reformatted with a fresh Windows 7 and now I wanna wait until I get feedback on EXACTLY what to install... thanks

I totally missed that you put this under "Input Devices" rather than "Install" category....

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.

How do I install bootcamp drivers windows 8 (mainly trackpad)

I installed windows 8 conumer preview using bootcamp. I download the drivers to my flash drive, but when i try to install them it says I need a computer running windows 7. I tried running in compatibility mode the way many people say to for installing on windows 8 but that did not work. I also tried to install all the drivers i needed indevidually and that worked, but there is one problem. I can only left click on the trackpad and I connot two finger scroll.
If anybody could help me either get the drivers to fully install or simply get right click and scrolling to work it would be awsome!
If it makes a difference i am running snow lepered on my mac partition om my macbook pro 15 inch 8,2 from mid 2011 (the first quad core one).

When you are on Lion, yes and if you have any 2011 model, definitely. mid-2011 was about where Lion was about to come out. And the old drivers just do not do a good job on those systems.
I'd even buy Lion and just put it on an external drive. If you want then use Setup Assistant to make it currrent with your settings, and clone it back to where SL was (might want to clone SL if you need it though and don't need or can't use Lion for some reason).
Someone else was unable to see Troubleshoot via control-click and I took a screen shot to show that "64.mi" does normally have options for how to run from Properties while theirs lacked that. Which seems to me like an issue with Windows installed on their system and not elsewhere.
You did a clean install of 8-CP too?

I nee bootcamp drivers for 64 bit quad core i need blu tooth apple keyboard hp mouse speackers drivers where can i download them

Hello my name is erick fromwashington and what happen is that i PUT WINDOWS 7 ON MY BOOTCAMP BUT DID NT LOAD THE DOWN LOAD FROM APPLE SUPPORT SO WHERE CAN I GET THEM FROM

Please see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support and download version appropriate to your hardware to a USB Flash drive and run setup.exe in the Bootcamp folder.

Latest Bootcamp drivers (June 2010) comatible with Windows XP 54 Bit?

Hi
I am planning on updating my existing BootCamp partition to windows Xp 64 Bit edition on my MacBook Pro so it uses all my 4 gigs of RAM but I was wandering if the latest drivers would be compatible with it because in the description of the latest update in the Apple Downloads page it says that this 64 bit drivers update needs XP, Vista or 7, but in BootCamp assistant it says it needs Xp 32 Bit specifically.
I can't install windows 7 or Vista because I have very limited space in my HardDrive and I would have to make a very large partition.
Here is what says in the download description, just in case.
( About Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit
This update adds support for Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate), addresses issues with the Apple trackpad, turns off the red digital audio port LED on laptop computers when it is not being used, and supports the Apple wireless keyboard and Apple Magic mouse.
This update is highly recommended for all Boot Camp 3.0 users.
System Requirements
::Windows XP:: ??? (This is my question)
Windows Vista SP2
Boot Camp 3.0 )
Link: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
Thanks

Were you able to successfully use wireless and an NVidia driver? I missed that 64 bit XP was not supported. Anyway, I was able to work around a number of things; but I can't get XP to recognize the graphics hardware or install the Nvida drivers. I'd persist if I could get this to work. Were you able to?
Thanks for any help.

Needing help with Bootcamp Drivers on my late 2009 27" iMac running windows 7 64-bit.

Hey, installed Windows 7 on my late 2009 27" iMac (Have previously done so and worked flawlessly, magic mouse could scroll etc) but had to remove the partition as I required more of my hard drive than anticipated, so I removed the partition and went to install Windows, everything worked fine until I wanted to install the bootcamp drivers, to which it said that my Mac doesnt support 64-bit... which it does as I've been running it for months with no problems whatsoever. Would appreciate if someone could tell me which version of bootcamp would be best to install and how to do so if the procedure isn't that simple. Also I get no sound from the Windows partition, as I get a red light from the audio Jack, which is clearly from the lack of drivers as it works fine on the OS X partition.
I have snow leopard install discs handy although the version of bootcamp on that differed from the one I had, which was much better.

Did you download the correct drivers for your Mac? The Late 2009 iMac needs these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630

How to access Bootcamp drivers in Windows 7?

Having successfully installed Windows 7 (64-bit) on a Bootcamp partition of my new iMac, I used Disk Utility to format an 8 GB USB flash drive, choosing the MSDOS (FAT32) Format option as instructed to do by the Bootcamp 5.0 installation PDF. I then unzipped the Bootcamp 5.0.5033 files I had previously downloaded and copied them to the root directory of my flash drive.
When I restarted Windows 7 with the USB flash drive mounted, I navigated to my flash drive using only the wireless keyboard and tried to open the setup.exe file to install the hardware drivers. To my surprise, Windows 7 regarded my flash drive as improperly formatted and therefore unreadable. It cheerfully offered to format it for me, which I declined.
Back on the Mac OS 10.8.3 partition, I found that I could reformat my flash drive using NTSC, but then the Mac OS could no longer copy the Bootcamp drivers onto it. Since I don't have the necessary Windows drivers installed, naturally I can't get online and download the Bootcamp driver files directly onto the Windows 7 desktop. And I don't have access to another Windows computer at the moment. So it's a case of: "You can't get there from here".
I'd appreciate any suggestions for workarounds.
Many thanks!

Eric,
Thanks for the links. I had consulted both of those web pages and followed their instructions. So I have requisite Bootcamp files. The problem is that, contrary to the instructions given in the BootCamp installation PDF, Windows 7 refuses to recognize my FAT32 formatted USB flash drive, so I can't get access to the driver files on it. And of course Windows 7 can't see the Mac OS partition so I can't access them there either.

Burn bootcamp drivers for windows to a CD?

I'm posting from my PC; but on my Mac, I ran bootcamp, got windows installed ect ect.
However, I failed to make a disc of the windows drivers required for internet connection, ect on Windows.
(I DON'T HAVE A MAC OSX CD)
I realize the correct way is too put in you Mac osx CD when you get on Windows, but I do not have one.
I downloaded the bootcamp file an burned it to a cd, I must have not done it correctly; the installer opens an it says it's installing Nivida an then it just closes.
So, I'm thinking maybe I burned the CD incorrectly.
I'm running on Windows 7 32-bit.
There's gotta be a way to burn the bootcamp files required to make windows work correctly to a disc.

Hi,
Windows Server 2003 is not on Apples BootCamp list of supported Windows versions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899
Therefor the 'automatic' setup of the Bootcamp Drivers from the OSX DVD fails.
Since in essence Win2K3 shares a lot with XP you might be able to install the drivers manually by going into the appropriate folder on the OSX DVD and start the setup 'by hand'.

Windows 7 eSTAT exterinal installing BootCamp DRIVERS HELP!!!

# NEED HELP WITH BOOTCAMP DRIVERS & eSAT external DRIVE!!!
# I have triple boot OSX 10.6.4 , Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.4 on PowerMac G5 Quad INTEL 16GB ram.
# I have 4 internal Drives make my RAID. I'm booting 64 bite Kernel.
# Using 3 external eSTAT drives to boot 3 OS's. 2 of those drives make BOOT Raid with OSX 10.6.4 & my Xcode Dev drive with 10.6.5. I have my Home Directory on 3rd partition of Boot Raid.
# I have no issues with installment of Windows 7. I have to format Drive with Disk UTILTY as Master Boot Record & GUID!!! Formating in WIndows will not work, cause OSX wants to initialize Disk. GUID will not work after 1st boot in Windows 7 installation it want boot back to start point for installation to finish. MBR format works!!! I tried BOOTCAMP install off OSX DVD, didn't work. SO next pulled just 64 bit Drivers off DVD and i get same result, CRASH CRASH CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
# anybody know a work around??????????
# I have not gotten to ubuntu installation yet, doubt i will have any issues with it. except few tweaks which im well aware of. EXCEPT reFit doesn't work on RAID, i'm hoping to use reFit or yboot on ubuntu drive. 1st i need to figure out windows BootCamp driver Problem!!!

You do have trouble.
You have a Mac Pro most likely that sortof looks like the older G5s.
10.6 doesn't run on PowerMacs, nor of course does Windows.
10.6.5 isn't out and you'd be under NDAs.
I just pull drives except the one for Windows 7 and format the drive with Windows DVD.
Disk Utility Partition Options... is either GPT or MBR, not both.
Boot Camp Assistant will format an entire drive as FAT w/ MBR.
Windows 7 on EFI based Mac will not boot off external drives.
It will install and boot off eSATA on PC if the BIOS and motherboard SATA ports support it.
And pull your 4 internal RAID drives.
Read and follow the PDF Guide in Boot Camp Assistant and things work.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
Apple's Windows drivers don't play any role installing Windows, only of use afterwards. And then to add motherboard support primarily (you still need ATI, RealTek and other drivers yourself).

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.

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

How Do I Remove Existing BootCamp Drivers in Windows 7?

I've just replaced my 2009 Mac Mini Server with the 2012 equivalent. I've successfully utilised WinClone to clone my BootCamp partition from one Mini to the other. My copy of Windows 7 Professional 64bit opens as expected, and I've successfully re-entered my Windows Product Key.
My only unresolved problem is in re-installing the BootCamp drivers. I have already downloaded the latest BootCamp drivers to my pen/thumb drive, and inserted it in my Mac Mini once Windows has started. On starting the BootCamp package, and attempting to install the drivers, I am alerted to 'a network problem' - which prevents me from installing the latest drivers.
I suspect the problem resides in an existing BootCamp Manager v4.0.0.0 being present on my Windows install (from my previous Mac Mini).
On locating the existing BootCamp Manager, Windows will not permit me to delete/remove the program and its associated files.
I would therefore appreciate some assistance on either issue: installing new drivers, and/or, removing the existing BootCamp drivers.

The problem has resolved itself...
...despite spending several pointless hours trying to delete the existing BootCamp drivers without success, I finally restarted Windows yet again - and this time I was easily able to delete the existing drivers.
I then restarted my Mac, installed the latest drivers without issue and it all works just fine.
Windows, eh?!

Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

Hi
I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

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.
