Can't find Boot Camp Setup Assistant, PowerBook G4

I have upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 via the installation disc and then downloaded and installed the combo upgrade 10.5.4. However, I can't find the Boot Camp Setup Assistant in the Applications Folder.
Is the Boot Camp Setup Assistant automatically installed from the installation disc or does it need to be loaded from "optional installs" on the installation disc?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
if your signature is still correct (Powerbook !) than you can't find the BootCamp Assistant on it.
The BCA is only installed (and useable) on Intel-Macs, not on PPC-Macs like your Powerbook.
Sorry
Stefan

Can't find Boot Camp on my leopard install DVD

I upgraded to leopard when it came out. I have the leopard DVD install disc. I can not find Boot Camp to install it. I also can not find the boot camp install assistant on my computer or on the disk. Please help, I need to install xp badly and ASAP! Thanks

So the DVD you inserted is the iMac install Disc 1? When I type in the "/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/" nothing happens.... I see you are using an earlier OS 10.4.
As you can see I using 10.5.2 on my new iMac
Can you help

Boot Camp Setup Assistant Cannot Be Used

Just installed Leopard on my 20" iMac 2GHz Core 2 Intel Machine. Trying to start up the Boot Camp Setup assistant. Clicking Continue gives me the message:
Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used.
You must update your system software before using this setup assistant.
I confirmed that there are no software updates available, and the latest firmware update from the Apple Downloads page reports back that I do not need the update.
Any suggestions on getting boot camp to work?
Thanks!
Allen

Backup and do an Erase and Install or re-partition.
This is how I got the installation I have now, and I'd like to use my external HD anyway, shared between VMWARE and Boot Camp.
Do you have an eDisk on our HD?
Nope.
Do you already have a boot camp partition on your system? More specifically a boot camp beta partition with windows installed on it.
This machine never saw boot camp at all.
I wonder if the way I'm partitioned might be the culprit. I cloned off my old 10.4 system, blew everything away, partitioned 2-ways, installed 10.5 on the first partition, and restored my 10.4 installation to the second.

Can't find boot camp 3.1 dmg

I'm having a lot of problems installing windows 7 on my mac. I've got the boot camp but it says I need to get boot camp 3.1. Right now I have some 2 version. I've looked all around and I can only find book camp 3.1 exe - what good is an exe file on a mac? I installed windows 7 but it restarted and said push any key to continue, I did that and nothing happened.

Not. IF you upgrade from Vista there is an error for ANY computer, PCs as well:
Boot Camp: "0x80070005" appears when upgrading from Vista to Windows 7
That is what that link refers to which is an additional problem that happens 70-80% into the install.
And at the bottom it refers back to the "black screen issue":
Additional Information
When installing Windows 7 on an iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) using Boot Camp, a black screen may appear. This can happen because the Windows 7 installer does not include the necessary graphics or Bluetooth drivers for your Mac. See iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 using Boot Camp for more information.
There is a problem as well for clean custom install too.
This can happen because the Windows 7 installer does not include the necessary graphics or Bluetooth drivers for your Mac.

<Edited By Host>

It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums.

Snow leopard install and now can't find boot camp

I just installed snow leopard in preparation to use the latest version of boot camp. When I completed the install, boot camp was gone.
Can someone tell me what I need to do?
Thanks

Did you repartition the drive? Or are you referring to the application, Boot Camp Assistant?

Can't find boot camp 3.1

I have an iMac with boot camp 3.0 its saying in order to install windows 7 I need boot camp 3.1 but all the boot camp 3.1 updates say in requirements i need windows XP. I have no windows programs. Do I need to buy windows XP first just to update to boot camp 3.1?

Of course, they are of no use until you have Windows running, AND you have to have installed BC 3.0.
You don't even really need Mac OS to install and run Windows 7 on a Mac. You do need those 3.x drivers though to support motherboard and hardware devices and drivers once 7 is finished installing and current.
Go back and re-read the guide in Boot Camp Assistant or from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
look for the pdf file to download and you can print it out or just read, has a lot in there. And step #1: backup first.

Can't find Boot Camp

Hi everyone!
I bought my MacBook in November and, until now, have had no occasion to use Boot Camp.
I went to search for it today and cannot find it anywhere on my MacBook and do now know where to find it either on my hard drive, MacOSX CD, or online for download.
How do I get BootCamp? Wasn't it supposed to be included on my new MacBook??
Thanks!

Hi,
I had the same trouble when boot-camping a friend's macbook. couldn't find it on any of the disks, but but it is actually there. what you must do is insert the OS X install disk 1, and then go to this web page : http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33420 ,download the little helper program, install it, and bob's your uncle... it will find BootCamp on your install disk and install it. Bootcamp can then be found in your Applications/Utilities folder
hope it works for you as it did for me!

Can't find Boot Camp on updated MacBook

Hi all,
I bought a new black MacBook today - the updated model. Either I'm crazy or Boot Camp is not installed. It's not in the Utilities folder, Spotlight can't find it, and it's nowhere to be found on Apple's website.
I looked on the CDs to see if I could install it separately, but it's not listed as a bundled app, and I don't want to launch the MacOS X restore app on a new computer.
Could someone please check their system and confirm if it's there or not?
Thanks.

Here are the results.
I copied Boot Camp 2.0 from my retail install of Leopard that was in the Utilities folder.
It ran fine on the new Macbook
2.0 does not create a CD, like the 1.4 beta Boot Camp did.
The Windows drivers ARE on the Macbook Disk 1 CD.
It's a good idea to read the Boot Camp instructions
The Windows partition has to be formatted from the XP install CD.
To eject the XP CD before the Boot Camp drivers are installed, plug in a USB mouse or
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
a Go to My Computer.
b Select the optical drive (D:).
c Click “Eject this disk” in the System Tasks list.
In XP's Device Manager, there were no devices without drivers (no red or yellow circles).
All seems well (so far)

VMware can't find Boot Camp

I recently reinstalled Leopard on my MBP. I erased the Macintosh HD partition in the process, installed Leopard from DVD, pull my stuff from TM backup and everything was back to normal. Except when I try and launch Windows with VMware Fusion there is the Boot Camp partition in the list of virtual machine, but when I click on it to run it, it says it the Boot Camp Partition.vmdk has been moved and it wants me to locate it. When I try and launch Windows with Boot Camp itself during the computer startup it works just fine. Any help?

I can't find boot camp to access windows xp.

When restarting my mac and I press the options key, the windows drive is no longer there. I fear my son somehow erased it. How do I find it and/or restore it?

Startup Manager Option
Startup keys Intel Macs
and you can try zap PRAM
Apple Support Safari
Safari Windows
Safari
Lion OS X Communities
You can uninstall extenstions, turn off plug-ins.
On Windows you need to use some form of reliable malware prevention but nothing can stop human error.
and you might want to give your son a standard, non-admin account for Windows and Mac OS

After updating windows 8, I can't find boot camp.

Cant' find Airport Extreme Setup Assistant in Applications/Utilities

My new Airport Extreme Base station - M8799LL/A requires setup using Setup Assistant, which I can't find on my laptop. Is there a place to download it?

No, I see the airport utility.... what I can't find is the setup assistant ...... Perhaps this is because this ancient device is equipment I had to buy used?

How can I activate Boot Camp Assistant?

How can I activate Boot Camp? I want to install an educational library that is on a CD. People that have PC's can use the CD. I have a mac mini and I want to open the CD to read/review. I have the Snow Leopard model.

Open Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder. You will see the following:
Click on the Print Installation & Setup Guide button. Click the OK button in the dropdown panel. You will now see the main Print panel. You can now print the document to your printer. If you prefer to make a PDF file you can read on the computer instead, then select Save as PDF from the PDF dropdown menu on the lower left. Save it to the location of your choice.
Now, read this document carefully in order to follow the proper procedures for creating a Windows partition on your hard drive to which you can install Windows 7 from a retail Windows 7 installer DVD.
Other options for running Windows:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

You need to upgrade to Leopard (10.5) in order to use BootCamp.
