Drivers for XP with no OSX DVD?

I have a bootcamp install of XP running, but cannot get the bootcamp assistant in 10.6.2 to burn a driver disk. I have checked through the bootcamp app resources, no drivers either. i have checked apple support, downloaded the boot camp 2.1 driver package and 2.2 update, which doesn't run in XP (just immediately terminates). also, my macbook pro did not arrive with a OSX install dvd, which is leaving me unable to find working XP drivers anywhere. any ideas?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the BootCamp Assistant no longer features the BootCamp Drivers.
Starting with OSX 10.5 Leopard Apple has put the BootCamp Drivers onto the OSX DVD.
So, usually you put in the OSX DVD while you are running BootCamp Windows and the Driver Setup starts automatically.
Also, all Mac purchases do include an OSX DVD.
Have a look inside the package your Mac came in. There should be a smaller case inside in which you should find the OSX DVD alongside the Mac manual.
Regards
Stefan

  • Can PowerPC applications be converted for use with Lion OSX? If so, how?

    Can PowerPC applications be converted for use with Lion OSX? Ifso, how?

    Three workarounds:
    1.  If your Mac supports it, partition your internal hard drive or use an external drive and install Snow Leopard.  Then you can "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you want to run your PowerPC applications.
    2.  Upgrade and/or find alternative replacements for your PPC software that run without Rosetta.
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

    I use an ipod classic 120G. When I try to launch itunes I first of all see a box stating "The registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes"   This I have done. obviously I cannot burn CDs but worse still is my ipod is not being recognised by itunes and will not sync. I have not installed any new burning softeware. Any suggestions please?

  • How to install XP drivers for Bootcamp on Mac OSX v 10.6.7?

    I installed Windows XP Porfessional SP3 on my Bootcamp partition but when I insert the "Software Support" DVD that my Mac created it says that I have to be running Windows 7 only and does not install any drivers. I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a solution on the web with no luck. One road block after another. This should be simple.... I DO NOT want or have Windows 7. I want and have Windows XP professional and all the documentation states that I should be able to install and run Windows XP using bootcamp on Max OSX 10.6 and later and I am running 10.6.7. I tried downloading BCUpdateEXE.exe and running it on the Windows bootcamp partition but it does nothing. It will not run. I found an article saying you must first install Bootcamp 2.0 drivers and then run this update but I cannot find any copy of the Bootcamp 2.0 drivers on the Web.
    It almost seems like Apple is in colusion with Microsoft to force the latest Microsoft garbage down our throats.... when i baught the Mac I thought I was getting away from this horrible practice... seems not...???

  • Hard drive drivers for use with system repair disk

    I've been through the mill with my Satellite A665 S6085...it started its life with a bad CD/DVD drive in the really dark customer service days and spent more of the first two months of life in the shop waiting for the arrival of a new drive than it did in my hands.  Then the CD/DVD failed just at the end of the warranty period (and Toshiba replaced it a second time very quickly, and without charge!)
    Since then it has been working reasonably well, but within the last few weeks it has gotten really sluggish (it was taking about 20 minutes to completely power up), and last week refused to start at all (repeated start-up failures).  I created a system repair disk from another laptop we have, managed to get it to start up - but accompanied by an even more dramatic slow down.
    I  was unable to create an image of the system, but I did manage in safe mode to copy all but about 20 unimportant files (whew!.), and was working on doing what I could to get it spiffied up enough to create a system image.  Unfortunately, in the middle of running the disk checking routine it hung.  It ran for about 20 hours and got to stage 4 (16% done the 23rd file) and stopped all activity.  (Prior to that time the drive light had been flashing on and off periodically - but when I had watched it with no activity for over an hour I did a hard power down . . . I know, bad idea, but it really did seem to be at a complete standstill). 
    It started once in safe mode then froze, and has not started since then. 
    When I boot from the system repair disk, the operating system doesn't come up - and the instructions are to load the hard drive drivers and try again.  So the immediate question is where the heck do I find the drivers since I can't power up to determine the hard drive manufacturer (and the drivers available through the driver download portion of the Toshiba site don't seem to do the trick)?
    But I'd also welcome any hints as to how to get far enough along to at least get a system image before I give up and let the professionals handle things...

    Hi ! You should have created a system image a long time ago I'm tired of this thread. You seem to know all about this so why even ask for help here on the forum Good luck friend. I hope you solve your problem. I don't think I can help you an further

  • Thoughts on BEST COMPRESSION for use with iDVD and DVD Studio Pro...

    Hi all...
    I'm having an issue with some visual artifacts that are present after burning a dvd using either idvd or dvd studio pro.
    My sequence containts footage (h.264) and photographs with titles. The photos (w/moves) look great, very crisp. So do the titles.
    However, the video looks awful. Pans and tilts creating streaking, so does any action with the frame.
    I don't see this streaking while viewing in the qt window or when previewing the dvd...
    I'm exporting as a qt reference using the dv/dvc pro setting, when I check the dvd on an ntsc monitor, the image is very streaky.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Are you using FCP?? Then I see why you said QT reference movie... which is the best way. Being more descriptive about your setting when posting a question will return more helpful answers. (editing tool, source materials, machine spec...etc) You said that your footage was h264 and you posted your question in iMovie forum so I couldn't have guessed FCP and DV...
    If your sequence is DV on FCP I can't think of anything else but QT reference movie route. I don't understand why your video won't show interlacing in QT player or DVD preview, but perhaps they force deinterlacing for preview, who knows.
    You said your DVD looks 'very streaky' on ntsc tv. Is it to the point that it looks unnatural? Is overall motion jerky? If so, perhaps the field order had been messed with and changed. But I'm not quite sure about the exact nature of your problem. Visual problem in a subjective verbal description can be hard to communicate

  • Bluetooth Drivers for working with a Vista Partition

    Is anyone using Windows Vista on a Mac Book Pro. I have to use it because Autodesk Software will not work with Apple. Everything seems to run fine except I cannot install the apple bluetooth drivers when I insert the Mac OS disk. Windows loads the generic bluetooth drivers once it installs. If you delete/remove them (the windows generic bluetooth drivers), and then try to install the bluetooth drivers on the Mac OS disk, windows simply overrides them. Has anyone had this issue. What actual bluetooth chip is in the laptop. Are there other drivers out there than can be downloaded for the windows side if I can not get the drivers from the Mac OS CD to install? Any help will greatly be appreciated.

    have you found them yet?  thanks

  • Should I buy iMac or MacPro for working with video and dvd?

    I currently have a Macbook which I am using to edit camcorder footage in iMovie and iDVD. I have spent the last three years travelling and living abroad and have consequently accumulated a large backlog of footage and am now trying to work through it all and get it on to DVD. When I bought my Macbook it was intended as a portable stop gap whilst living abroad with the intention of upgrading to an Apple desktop when home again. Given that I want to work on getting through many hours of camcorder footage, and also start getting to grips with computer based music production, would an iMac with plenty of ram be sufficient or would I be better off splashing out more and getting a MacPro plus screen?

    Welcome 12frets56
    I agree with the above recommendation, "Only you can decide how much you want to spend."
    Tell us (if you don't mind) exactly how much you wish to spend so we can further assist in advising you on which system might best address your needs. Also, only you can decide how important portability is to you in terms of working from a laptop as opposed to a beefier system. Is portability a critical factor to your work, or not? If not, go with a full size custom tower.
    Here's something else you may wish to consider prior to the actual purchase of any apple hardware / system configuration. Shop software first and foremost. Then built around that while addressing system requirements. In other words, don't place the cart before the horse (if you know what I mean).

  • Drivers for canon ir3235 on osX 10.6.8,

    After downloading and installing the drivers from the Canon website I can't get my computer to see the printer.  I have OSX 10.6.8 and I'm trying to hook up on a Canon IR 3235.
    Any suggestions ?

  • How to Install Drivers for Win XP without the CD?

    I have a 15-inch Mac Book Pro older version. I have installed the Windows XP, but my superdriver is with some kind of problem. When I insert the CD from Mac OS X, as instructed on the Boot Camp Manual, the CD is not recognized. So it is ejected after some time trying to read it.
    I don't know what is happening with my superdriver, but I need to install the drivers on my Windows XP.
    I would like to know if there is any other way to have these drivers installed. In addition to that, I would like to know how to solve the problem of this Superdriver.
    Thanks,
    João Pedro

    Hi,
    is the Superdrive working in OSX or does it have the same problems there ?
    Do you have AppleCare ?
    And if, are you still in the three-year time-limit ?
    The AppleCare warranty would cover the replacement of the SuperDrive.
    Otherwise you would have to pay for it.
    As for the drivers you can try the OSX DVD in another Windows computer (if you have access) and then use a USB-Memory Stick of at least 1GB size and copy the full content of the OSX DVD onto the USB-stick.
    Then use the USB-stick to install the drivers by manually starting the 'setup.exe' file while in your BootCamp Windows.
    Since the OSX DVD is a hybrid-disc (with a OSX part and a Windows part) this does not work while in OSX, since only the OSX part of the DVD is shown.
    Hope it helps
    Stefan
