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.

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 3.1

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

Hello guys,
I never used this Community but now I've a problem and I can't solve it by myself so I hope you guys would like to help me.
Specifications:
Macbook Pro (mid 2010)
13,3''
With Boot Camp on it (Windows 7 Ultimate)
Problem:
Today (26-12-2012) there came a message that there was a new update for Boot Camp (something with Boot Camp 3.3 I saw). I installed the new update but when my Macbook restrated I tried if my functionkeys (like volume and brightness) correctly worked but indeed they didn't worked after the update.
I restarted my Macbook like 10 times but it still doesn't work
I hope you guys have a solution for me so the functionkeys will work correctly.

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

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.

Where can I find the Boot Camp Assistant on Leopard?

I have a new MacBook with Leopard, but I can't find the Boot Camp Assistant anywhere. Not with spotlight, not in my Applications folder, not in the Utilities map. I checked the both Leopard CD's that came with my MacBook, but no luck. Anyone who can help me find it?

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.

Hi,
Paragons CampTune http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ can do this.
Mac OSX and its BootCamp Assistant or Windows cannot.

HT4623 How can I update my original iPad to an iOS higher than 5.1.1? It says my software is up to date, but how can it be if it is still iOS 5?

How can I update my iPad to an operating system higher than 5.1.1? It says software is up to date, but I'd like it to be iOS 7, or at least 6!

The original iPad is incapable of running iOS 6 and newer. Therefore, it's up to date with 5.1.1.

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.
