Can't Update to Boot Camp 3.1

Hey. I set up a WinXP Pro (SP2) partition on my MBP running Snow Leopard. When I try to upgrade to Boot Camp 3.1, I get an error message saying, "Boot Camp 3.0 or later is required to install this update." What gives? It was my understanding that OS 10.6.6 CAME with Boot Camp 3.0. :?:
I don't know if this is a related issue, but I have NO "Boot Camp" control panel in my Windows partition...
Thanx

BTW are you using the OSX install disc to install the bootcamp drivers?

  • Can't update to Boot camp 2.1

    I've never been able to update to boot camp 2.1. I've tried downloading from the software update app in Windows, and keep getting error messages. Do I really need this update? I'm using Vista home premium, and never really had a problem. How would I get it to install and update if I do need it? I've tried following Apple's instructions and still nothing.

    For what it's worth, Win7 is actually better than Vista. I know there is a lot of laughing going on! Although Ubuntu with the KDE desktop is a lot better than Windows.
    True and True No laugh on my side.
    Now then, if I can find a replacement to Toast, either on Ubuntu or Windows, I'll be a happy camper!
    If you don't mind a bit of german language, here's a good source http://www.heise.de/software/download/o0g0s3l11k219
    For 'simple' burning with Windows I use DeepBurner (free), if you look for a complete suite I would propose Nero.

  • Can't update to Boot Camp 3.3 or higher

    Hello!
    I have been trying to update Boot Camp for a long time now and I get a prompt to do so every time I boot into Windows 7 Pro 64bit. The problem is that after downloading and installing the update and rebooting, the computer never seems to recognize that 3.3 is installed. It's been like this since 3.3 came out. Does anyone have any suggestions or have the same issue? If the suggestion is boot into OS X (I have Snow Leopard) don't bother responding; Snow Leopard suffers a corrupted hard drive sector every few months. Last time I had to fully wipe the drive without Time Machine because Time Machine refused to copy that partition.
    Thanks!

    Check to see under device manager if you have more than one display adapter installed.
    Uninstall if any, other than the iMac original display adapter, that should fix your problem.
    LogMeIn for example installs an additional display driver.
    You can reinstall it after you applied the 3.3 update.

  • HT1899 When you will update the  boot camp for windows 8?

    When apple will provide the updates for boot camp  to support windows 8.

    Whether or not there are updates, Youtube videos for doing that are here:

    Can I erase the boot camp partition and dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion instead

    Please don't double post. Look at your other thread.
    If you want to get rid of Windows and the BC partition use the Boot Camp assistant program to remove the Win/BC partition. Don't do it manually with Disk Utility Use the BC A program.

  • CAN I ERASE PARTITION BOOT CAMP IF I HAVE INSTALLED PARALLELS DESKTOP?

    CAN I ERASE PARTITION BOOT CAMP IF I HAVE INSTALLED PARALLELS DESKTOP?

    I think the answer is NO. Or Maybe. Or, can't answer based on lack of details. And, more a question for Parallels Support forums.
    All depends on your setup. But you will lose ability to dual boot or use VM most likely.
    In any event, we are not mind readers. And have some backups already.
    Before you do? do this: buy WinClone 3 and make a backup image of Windows hard partition "aka" Boot Camp.

  • Latest Windows 8.1 update under Boot Camp loses my cursor

    I was having no problems running Windows 8.1 under Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro Retina (2012) with the latest Boot Camp drivers until I tried downloading Microsoft's latest major update to Windows 8.1 (KB2919355). After installing the update, I lost my cursor. The trackpad and a USB mouse both "worked" by highlighting icons and windows at random, but without a cursor I'm flying blind. It seems to be a video or screen driver issue. I chatted with Apple and spoke to Microsoft on the phone. They both suggested that I uninstall the update, which I have done. And that does bring back my cursor. The only hope is that Apple and Microsoft can work out this problem between the Apple drivers and the Microsoft update. I understand that this latest Microsoft update is a prerequisite for future Microsoft updates, so I hope they straighten this out. Is anyone else suffering from this problem?

    Hi
    I have exactly the same problem on my MacBook Pro Retina (early 2013). After updating from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 (KB2919355) the mouse cursor is invisible on the desktop. On the Lockscreen and Sign In screen the cursor is visible. My resolution is 1920x1200. I connected also another "normal" mouse device and I have the same effect.
    When starting Windows in Safe mode the cursor is visible. When uninstalling the update KB2919355 everything works again.

    I use the latest version of BootCamp http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720.
    Thank you to solve this issue.

  • Why can't I find Boot Camp 3.0 download?

    Has anyone seen a download of Boot Camp 3.0?  Not 2.2 or 3.1 just 3.0.
    Thanks!

    I keep everything in folders and on DMG. I have Windows drive with any installers and updates.
    I copied the Windows Boot Camp volume to a folder (950MB I think for Boot Camp 3.0) so I would have it, and have it backed up.
    Laptops I can see not having huge multiple hard drives and limited smaller drives and drive space.
    No PC vendor would ever do it this way. They include a CD like Apple with any new motherboard with Windows support software.
    A mac will run w/o Apple's to some extent, it isn't like you can't. Windows 7 has a wide range of hardware it supports.
    You wouldn't have the Apple TimeServices to keep Mac and Windows using different time servers, the data/time are always off.... seems like something is wrong to me there.
    No OS Switcher in Windows.
    Trouble with internet and wireless is perhaps the hardest.
    Getting video graphic device enabled, a bummer.

  • Firmware Update and Boot Camp

    I am trying to install Windows XP on my MacBook Pro. I downloaded Boot Camp and installed it, but when I tried to open it, it said I needed to "Update your firmware." I went to utilities and clicked on the Firmware Update program, but it said that my firmware is up-to-date. I tried clicking again to open Boot Camp, but got the same message about needing to update my firmware. Is there something wrong with my computer, or just me? What can I do to solve this problem?

    You need to install the 1.0.1 firmware update.

  • Cannot install windows 8.1 on imac 5k - apple support says "Correct, that machine can't install windows" Boot camp fail

    I have a brand new imac 5k, with 4ghz i7, 295x GPU, 3.1TB fusion drive.  Bought the machine so I could dual boot - I need windows for VR Dev work.
    I've spent the last week and a half on tech support calls with Apple Senior Tech agents, and Microsoft agents as well, and today have been told that indeed this machine cannot run windows 8.1.  Apparently Apple engineering knows about the issue, but says the problem is microsoft's.  Ugh.
    The latest iteration of the issue comes when installing 8.1 onto an external thunderbolt SSD (without even using boot camp) - I go through the EFI installer, convert the drive to GPT, format it as ntfs, but when I select the partition to install onto, the installer says it can't find the partition it just created.  Smuh? 
    I've also tried the install through boot camp.  This installation actually worked twice, but the install was unstable.  After booting back into osX, then returning to Windows, the windows install went corrupt and couldn't be repaired.  Subsequent attempts to install windows yielded a flurry of different errors, including "windows doesn't support GPT in this mode" or "the disk is locked, please unlock the disk" or "MBR must be converted to GPT" (where once I converted to GPT, the drive could no longer be found, despite the operation completing successfully.)
    At any rate, it's a huge mess.  I'd happily return the machine for a different config, but the company I bought it from will only swap it for a similar model -- so I've spent a pile on a machine that does not function as advertised; apple says "too bad, talk to Microsoft." Microsoft says "too bad, we've never seen this, this is an apple issue."
    Has anyone out there gotten windows up and running on an iMac5k with fusion drive?  If so, did you have to go through a crazy maze to make it work?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    MC

    After much gnashing of teeth, and a half dozen support calls, I'd all but given up.  I finally seem to have solved this though - sort of - by installing windows 8.1 on boot camp on an older iMac, then cloning the bootcamp disk to an external thunderbolt drive via Winclone.  That worked seamlessly, sticking to winclone's instructions, and I can boot via EFI to Windows 8.1 on the new iMac.  So far so good.
    I usually install W8.1 via EFI by using DU and a Free Space partition. The 3TB Fusion is first split into the underlying SSD/HDD physicals. OSX and Windows OSes are installed on SSD via EFI (no BCA). The OSX part and half the HDD are then used to create a new CS volume. The other HDD half becomes NTFS for non-Windows OS files. The Hybrid MBR method is completely unsatisfactory with the 3TB Fusion drive.
    How is the TB/Winclone image for performance of the OS (since pagefile.sys is also on the TB)?
