Guild Wars 2 client updating on Windows 7 Boot Camp

I originally downloaded and installed Guild Wars 2 client and updated with no problem. I've played the game and everything ran fine. I wanted to make a larger partition for my windows, so I went through the entire process of deleting the windows partition and creating a new one and then installing windows 7 Home Premium on it. After the clean install I downloaded the Guild Wars 2 client just fine, but when it attempts to update, it only updates for about 4 seconds to around 1MB of data. I use a direct ethernet connection The error says "Download Failed! Please check your internet connection and try again." The update continually builds off of the download so I'm almost done downloading the whole update (16GB) but it shouldn't have any problems maintaining it's connection. I have no firewall on and no antivirus even installed since i'm not using this computer for anything else until I figure out the problem. I tried other games to see if it was an overall problem, but I can update and play The Secret World and Tera with zero problems as well as other offline games that require patches like Dragon Age 2 and Sniper Elite V2. It can't be something simple since I've already contacted my ISP to make sure there was no throttling or blocks on their end and I've been contacting Arenanet technical support and they don't have any ideas for windows boot camp issues.
Any ideas on what could be the issue? The common firewall, antivirus, and ISP possibilities have been troubleshot to death.

you should be using Microsoft Security Essentials, regardless, or something for firewall besides your router, though that should be doing some of the work.
Windows on Mac aka "Boot Camp" is just to partition and motherboard drivers, otherwise it is maybe 95% same as a PC (sans BIOS for EFI).
You could of course bought WinClone or Paragon CampTuneX $20 to resize the old partitions.
Download managers and torrent-type with what ports it uses etc are not my area (torrents are funny, your IP address is out there for all to see and find which is one reason to not turn off firewalls and everything).

Third-party NTFS software interferes with the Apple NTFS drivers, which control whether you can see the Bootcamp partition in the Startup Disk option. As a test, can you uninstall all third-party NTFS software and check System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

How do I restore data to a new mac with windows boot camp partition?

Hi
I have a new iMac and an old MBP, I'd like to copy all of the data of my old MBP to the iMac.Would doing that affect the windows boot camp partition?
and how do I do it?
right now im backing everything up on my MBP using super duper
both the MBP and the iMac are running on Lion

I am assuming the Boot Camp partition is on the old MBP and that the SuperDuper clone is on an external drive and is bootable. The Super Duper clone does not include the Boot Camp Partition.
To get the Mac Data moved you can use Migration Assistant and if you want to transfer the Boot Camp partition you would need Winclone to move/copy it to a newly created Boot Camp partition on the iMac. The SD Clone ( and a Winclone backup) is your insurance policy if some kind of difficulty arises.

Could I reinstall OS X partition keeping the windows boot camp partition?

II have a OS x partition that need reinstall. In the same hd I have a Windows Boot camp partition. The question is, could I reinstall OS X partition without affect the Windows partition?
Thanks,
Jorge.

Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Of course you should backup both.
Q: why do you think OS X needs to be reinstalled or something?
Disk directory trouble?
Because 3rd party disk utility can do better, as well as maybe clone Mac volume so you can boot and do more repairs.
Or maybe the partition table is shot. Or bad sectors. And bad sectors can require a full format.
In a perfect world, but disk drives and systems aren't

Windows Boot Camp does not exist, you mean Boot Camp Assistant, which is a Mac program, it is the program you would use to prepare your Mac to run Windows.
You will need a 64bit retail or OEM version of Windows Home or Professional.
You will also need to read the Boot Camp Documentation thoroughly, and make a complete backup of your machine before repartitioning.

Will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me?

will genius bar install windows (boot camp) for me? if so, costs?

Ask them. We don't know what your local Apple Store will do for you. It will certainly cost you their hourly charge for however many hours are involved. You may have to purchase Win8 from them but if not you must have a copy of your own.
Or you can take the time to read the Boot Camp documentation and do it yourself. Start here: Apple - Support - Boot Camp. Open Boot Camp Assistant then click on the large button on the left to print the documentation. Then read it very carefully.

HT1846 when will the update released for boot camp to install in 3TB drive to install windows 8

I would like to install windows 8 on my 3TB drive since the boot camp is not supported yet for 3 TB only supports upto to 2.2 TB when will be the update released

Apple is not here, just end-users like you. Anyone end-user who does has this knowlege would violating a non-disclosure agreent if he responded.
You best action at this point is to use the one path we have for getting info to Apple people working on technologies:

Why can I not update these drivers in Windows Boot Camp?

Hi. I own a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
I also have a CD for a Windows 7 Home Premium single full-install 32-bit.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
On that page, it says that for my computer, I need Boot Camp 4 to update my drivers, but when I downloaded it and tried using it in my Windows partition, it said something like, "These drivers are not intended for this version of Windows," or something to that effect...
I also tried running the drivers my Mac automatically downloaded for me, but that said they were only intended for 64-bit
That same link said that Windows 7 Home Premium was supported, so I downloaded the newest version of Boot Camp Support Software 4 and tried it and ran into my problem. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thanks!!!

I was able to solve this myself by realizing: (a) Windows 8.1 upgrade had changed my display adapter to a Windows Basic Display Adapter, (b) AMD's web site doesn't apparently host installers that work for the Retina iMac (yet?), and (c) the Boot Camp package that Boot Camp Assistant adds to your Windows installer contains a version of AMD Catalyst that will work and will replace the errant driver:
The installer is in <WININSTALL>:\Bootcamp\Drivers\ATI\ATIGraphics\Setup.exe
Run install
Verify in Device Manager that the Display adapter is AMD... M29{0,5}X
Finally, I was able to update resolution:

Windows disc does not update after resizing boot camp partition

When I bought my iMac, it came with a 500 GB HDD. I used bootcamp to make a 200GB windows partition and a 300GB Mac partition. The other day I bought a 250GB SSD, and moved everything from my 300GB Mac partition onto the SSD.
My plan was to use the whole 500GB HDD for windows. So, I deleted the 300GB Mac partition and made it free space on the drive. I then expanded the boot camp partition to take up the whole drive using Mini Tool on windows 7.
Now, windows 7 shows that my drive is 465GB, but when I boot into mac, the bootcamp hard drive still reads 200GB and 300GB are "free space" even though I expanded the drive using Mini Tool.
I tried to fix this by filling up the hard drive with an extra 120 GB so it exceeded the 200GB limit that windows shows. But when I booted back into OSX to see if it had worked, none of the files were showing up in the drive, making me believe that boot camp and OS X are not reading changes I am making to the bootcamp drive when I use Windows.
How can I change this so Disk Utility shows the full size of the disc, like Mini Tool does?
I will try to upload screenshots soon.

Re-sizing Windows partitions is not supported on Bootcamp. It requires a clean install. The other option is using Winclone.
Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions
How can a Windows partition be resized after Windows is installed?
You need to delete the Windows partition using the Boot Camp Assistant, and start over to change the size of the Windows partition. Back up your important Windows files first.

How do I remove the old windows boot camp partition which is now useless on my new Macbook pro

I had boot camped windows Vista to my old Macbook Pro 2009.
When I bought a new Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013, I restored from my Time Machine backup. It never put Windows Vista on as there was compatability issues.
I recently tried to partition in Boot Camp to install Windows 8 so that I can use a particular program for work. The "ghost" partition is still there and I can't see an option to make the HD as one again. Boot Camp wants me to format the HD as single and journaled which I understand but if I restore from my backup it puts the "ghost" partition back in. 6 hours of waiting to find that out!
Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks for responding.
Boot Camp shows my HD as a rectangle when I go to the "partition" tab but nearly half of it is white. Is this the free space?
The error message I got was:-
The disk cannot be partitioned because some of the files could not be moved.
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS extended (journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp assistant again.
I was only making a small partition, so it couldn't have been too big.
There is no evidence of any Windows installation or a physical partition but it must be there to get that message. Is that correct?
I can't see an option to format my whole HD but even if there was, the problem would reappear when restored from TMachine.
UPDATE:
just tried to make the white area on my HD into a new partition and then erase it.
I'm trying Boot Camp again to see if that has worked. It just takes about 2 hours to get to the problem stage again!!

Connecting MacBook through external display in Windows Boot Camp partition

Hello everyone! I recently installed Windows Vista Home Premium on my MacBook 320GB. My Mac Partition of the drive works perfect, and connects through Mini DVI-Video through composite cables and into my T.V. When I tried this in Windows, I had no luck whatsoever. yes, all the drivers are installed for my chipset, processor, keyboard, etc. Windows is updated as well through Microsoft, But not through the Apple Software Update because the download failed again to the Boot Camp update. How do I connect an external display(ex. Projector, T.V., anything that has composite input)? Yes, I know some of you will say, "Your first mistake was buying Vista", but thats not the problem here. Windows Vista works perfectly. When you connect an external display, it re-adjusts its screen resolution but does not appear on the external monitor. Is the Boot Camp Update the solution? Please Help!!!
That was a lot of writing!
-Christian

I am using Vista on Macbook and when I connect my PC to my TV, lot of times, it hangs on me and a blue screen shows up with some errors and then it shut downs. I atleast do this 2-3 times and then finally it gets connected but there has to be a way where we can easily connect to TV without any issues. Any help guys?
Also I have noticed, my resolution on TV when I connect my macbook is 1900 x 1260 something... Is this related to resolutions?

10.4.11 update messes with Boot Camp beta

I am posting this again as my post is way down another discussion.
I did the update yeterday without knowing about the bug. Now Windows XP won't start up in boot camp. This is really annoying. Mac OS X boots fine.
So. Can I downgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.4.6 without having to reinstall all the other applications? What about Boot Camp? Is this an option I select from the utilities available on the install disk?
What about archive and install? Will that archive all my applications and data so I don't have to do reinstalls?
Otherwise, what if I upgrade to 10.5? Will this fix the problem without me having to redo the whole Windows installation? There is a lot of data, most of it is backed up but still a pain to restore.
I have looked at other responses to this problem but not found the definitive answer.

What if I do upgrade to 10.5 - will that update the system without having to reinstall Win XP etc?

Windows Boot camp drivers won't install

So I'm trying to put windows on my mac again, for the fifth time since windows won't let me activate it anymore. Everything goes fine and it installs and I put the Mac os x install disc 1 in to install the drivers. It loads up and goes through the process of installing the drivers. Once its down it asks me to restart the computer which I do. Once I get in however, none of the drivers are installed like nothing ever happened. I can tell because I can't get internet and the trackpad won't work properly. The boot camp faq shows up and another window to update something shows up but it need the internet to work. I go and try to repair the drivers and it runs its course, restarts and still nothing! No drivers. I've tried deleting the drivers and reinstalling them, removing the partition and reinstalling but nothing is working. I've gotten the drivers just fine before but now they just won't install. I've updated my mac from 10.6.4 to 10.6.7 so can that be the problem? Its the only thing I did different.

I'm at my office at the moment and I don't have the disc to view. Tell me, have you found the drivers folder? You can select any driver and it should automatically open boot camp and install all "Apple Drivers" while in windows mode. Then after installing bootcamp, you can install Apple updater. I'm adding more than I should because I don't know how far along you are- if you look around the clock area in windows, you should see a boot camp icon; is it there?
Send me a screen shot with your disc open and I can maybe help you from there. [email protected] Otherwise, I will look at the direct path this evening and post the info here.

Screen is now dim/darker in Windows Boot Camp

I'm running Windows XP on my iMac through boot camp. While playing WoW the other day the screen suddenly dimmed as if someone had just drastically reduced the brightness/gamma. This has never happened before.
When I reboot, the screen is bright as normal for a few moments, then flicks back to being dim. The only recent change to the mac was an update a few days ago (it was quite large; Itunes 10 plus some other updates). The brightness is fine in osx. The problem didn't occur right after the update, just randomly during a game. I thought I had pressed an incidental key combination.
No settings were manually changed so I cannot understand why it would suddenly do this. It seems Windows is switching over to a duller screen mode just after boot.
Not knowing the cause I tried to adjust the gamma settings in Windows with QuickGamma, but I cannot make the screen look like it's former glory. It just makes the screen look brighter in a bad way, lacking depth and saturation.
Is this a current issue with a recent update or something else?

Same here.
Yesterday the screen was ok
Today screen is very dim mostly at the top
when awaking fom sleep it is ok but a second after it gets dim again
Any help?

Help, Windows Boot Camp Installer Freezes Befor Finshing Installation

MacBook Pro 2.6 4g Ram 200Gg hd, 17hd 10.5 Leopard
Gave windows 25g
Installed Windows XP Home SP2 no problem,
Windows runs
Installing Boot Camp for Windows - Freezes on The Atheros wireless install - Hard Freeze - (left it for 30 min So far.) Mouse is frozen, keyboard dose not work.

Justin:
How about we try this:
1. Hard Wire the internet connection to your Macbook Pro via the ethernet port
2. This should allow you to connect to the internet
3. Open Internet Explorer
4. Choose Tools from the menu of the Internet Explorer and then click on Windows Update
5. This should open a separate window from which you can choose update and at that point windows update should get the drivers for Atheros and list them as Optional Update. Install those drivers.
I am not sure if you can even get this far but is worth a shot.
