Having problems downloading the latest Windows support software by Apple

Hello, I am trying to install Windos 7 in my imac, via bootcamp, but every time I try to download the latest Windows support software for my imac, using bootcamp assitant, in the beggining of my download a message appears that I can not download this software because it is not available in the Software Actualizations Server. I have seen a lot of videos as to how install windows in my imac, followed every step, but I keep on having this same problem that does not let me finish, and in the videos they do not say anything about this issue. I have had this problem since yesterday. If anyone can help me, thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I do not recommend to download the Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, as it often fails.
Instead, most Macs can download the Windows support software from the Apple website. Go to this website, and choose your Mac model and the Windows version you wish to install (under "Boot Camp requirements by Mac model"). Finally, download the correct Windows support software

  • Do you install the latest windows support software in boot camp?

    ,or do i have to get it off the apple website or anywhere else.

    You install the latest Apple drivers for your specific BootCamp and Mac model versions,  as available off the Downloads section in Apple Support.
    And you install the latest Windows Updates as available on the Windows control panel.

  • Having problems downloading the latest version of iTunes

    I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC and when it is in the "installing" phase, it just "sits" there, nothing happening. If I cancel, my iTunes disappears and I have to restore to an earlier date to see it again. What is wrong?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

    After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
    To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

    Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
    The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
    As a workaround, do the following:
    Start RealPlayer.
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
    Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
    Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
    Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

    What a vague and useless question.
    A search of the forums would have revealed issues that others are having.
    Why does it matter though?  Are you having issues?  If not.. why would you care?

  • How can I uncheck the option to 'download latest windows support software' in the boot camp assistant?  The option to uncheck is locked

    MBP 2013 Retina running OSX 10.9.2
    I am trying to install Boot Camp using Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.2 (481)
    I have a Windows 7 Pro ISO from MS.
    When I open the Boot Camp assistant and try to create a bootable USB, it freezes on the 'downloading windows support software' part. I have tried multiple times.
    I was able to download the latest support software from Apple, but no matter what I try I am unable to uncheck the box to download the software in the boot camp assistant
    Ideas?

    Me too have the same problem where i couldnt uncheck the 'download windows support software' option when im installing Windows 8 Pro (ISO in bootable USB 3.0) using Boot Camp on my MBP retina OS X 10.9.2.
    And if i have to follow these steps, it takes too much time and im not sure if it will be finished or not (im stopping the process for i have waiting for at least 3 hours downloading). And im pretty sure my internet connection is doing good when downloading this thing. What's happening here?
    Please help.

  • When trying to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software, error says: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    You need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.
