I believe you are thinking that you are writing to Apple. Actually this is an Apple Forum but only a user to user forum. Apple Computers do not monitor these forums. Its only users like you and I that keep this forum going.
You are right, Boot Camp Beta, which you have installed on your computer, has been expired. To remove the boot camp partition that you currently have (Beta Version 1.1)you will need to click [HERE|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306805] and follow the instructions.
If you want to install boot camp again then you will need a Released Version 2.0 of boot camp which is ONLY available on the LEOPARD INSTALLATION DISK.
If you have OSx 10.5 (Leopard) Installed then please click [HERE|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11889.html] to get the instructions on how to install Boot Camp Version 2.0.
If you still have OSx 10.4 (Tiger) installed then you will need to buy Leopard.

[HELP] I can't install the bootcamp drivers on my mac.
Hello people.
I have a problem and i wish if you could help me with.
I have an iMac Early-2009 ( 2.66ghz C2D / 4GB 1333mhz RAM / GeForce 9400 256mb ) with Mountain Lion 10.8.4
The problem is that, i can't install the drivers from the bootcamp app ( the one from the bootcamp itself app, where you need a USB to download it)
i've already partitioned the HDD, and installed succesfully a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
But there's one little issue, when i try install the drivers i downloaded before on my USB, it says that "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model".
BUT, what? i've installed correctly the Windows 7 64bit on the iMac.
I can't install anything, but only graphics driver. ( manually)
I searched in every forum trying to resolve my problem, i've read that you can install it from de DVD with Snow Leopard that came with the computer
but that disk is broken; it's annoying because it seems that is the only solution , with that resulting on a dead end.
I could install my NVIDIA drivers, using the ones from bootcamp drivers, BUT USING THE WIN_32 version because the WIN_64 was unsupported by my machine. ok, i could install the drivers and was the 263.03 i think.
Now i want to upgrade to my lastest drivers ( 320.14 WQHL ) and says that can't detect my gpu. but the old driver that came with recognized it with no problems. I tried also auto detect GPU, and the same drivers but no result.
Anyway, the main problem is that is "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". with a Windows 7 64bit copy installed on the bootcamp partition. this is ******* me off
I sucessfully installed on my Macbook Pro Late 2008 ( C2D 2.06ghz / 8 GB RAM / 9600m GT ) and everything fine, a Windows 7 64bit. installed the drivers and everything fine, even accepted the lastest drivers (320.14 WQHL) from nvidia. but that was on Mountain Lion 10.8
but since 10.8.3 only lets you install only 64bit, i can't search for a copy of win32bit and install it because, it's going to be the same problem anyways.
So if you could help me out with this *** problem.I have an iMac (24-inch, Early 2008) — iMac8,1 and I have exactly the same issue. Now, I'm running Mavericks, unfortunately.
On the one hand, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986, I see:
"Do all Intel-based Macs support Windows 7?
All Intel-based Macs support Windows 7 using Boot Camp 3.1 or later except these:
iMac (17-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (17-inch, Late 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2006)
Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)"
So, I should be good.
However, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, my iMac is not supported in Boot Camp requirements, which would have been nice to know before I purchased a copy of Windows 7. I cannot get the Windows drivers to download from Boot Camp, and when I download them manually, whether version 4 or 5, I get the "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message, which makes the HT3986 information unhelpful. I even tried a Snow Leopard CD while in Windows, and it gave me the same message. I tried one of the 3.x Bootcamp files, and still no good.
The funny thing is, I ran Bootcamp to create the partition for Windows 7, and it even popped up a message stating that Windows 7 was the latest Windows I could install on that machine, and the installation went fine. However, I am missing who knows what drivers, etc, because Apple won't provide the Windows support software for a machine that evidently can run the software. The graphics drivers appear to be fine, as the aspect ratio corrected itself, something that didn't happen on my MBP without having the Windows Bootcamp software. I also have wi-fi, which is better than some experience.
I even cannot get the little Boot Camp Windows icon/software that should be accessible in the system tray, so I can set preferred system to boot in, tell it to boot into OS X, etc. So, for that, I would have to rely on rebooting while holding down the ALT key, and my non-Apple keyboard for some reason won't do that (but that's another subject).
I guess there is nothing to do other than just do everything manually, piece by piece, unless someone has a solution that is eluding me. -

Hi, I want to try the trial of After effects but I haven't found any after effects in my creative cloud. Any solutions?
Thank youIf an application is not listed it is normally because your machine does not meet the system requirements for that application. Check the AFter Effects requirements against your machine to see if there is a mismatch...

HELP! Can't see the System Preferences
I tried to launch the System Preference application and all I get is a white window, you can't see the actual icons. This also happens in the Preview as well as the Console application. I tried a clean reinstall of my OS but still doesn't work. I also tried repairing permissions.
I don't know what else to try.Hi Erwin, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????
You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.
Read the Boot Camp installation instructions and help guides located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ -
I try to get Windows 7 on my iMac 21.5-inch but on the Bootcamp Assistant I get this message,"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." Please help me and thank you.
I have that problem too. There's many other discussion threads as well. Either Apple doesn't realize they have a problem, or they do and simply don't care. Either way, not good.
There is a workaround that I'm going to try next. Go to this webpage:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Scroll down to the middle of the webpage. Hit "Expand All". Now, search the webpage for the Apple product name of your computer. It should be something like "MacBook Pro, 17-inch, Early 2008". If you're unsure what you have, open "About This Mac" (upper left corner of your screen, Apple menu), and hit "More Info".
Now that you've found your computer, read across the table, to the version of Windows that you want to install (32-bit or 64-bit). Hopefully you'll find a "4" or "5" there. Click on that number, to go to the download page for the drivers that you need. If you just see an empty box there, then you're out of luck....
Hopefully there will be drivers. Download those, unzip, and then copy to a USB stick that has been formatted for MS-DOS FAT (or FAT32). Use Disk Utility to format your USB stick if necessary. Now, you have the drivers you should have gotten from the Boot Camp Assistant download. You should then be able to go back to Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions from there.
Hope it works!

I got new hard driver for my MacBook I don't have the cd but I do have flash drive that has the software I need help because when I turn on my laptop it shows me a file with question mark how can I install the software from the flash driver?
Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

I do not use the Internet using wifi I use 3G mobile broadband and if I do need wifi it tells me I have to pay for it, but I can not work out how to install or connect my iPad with my new printer if there is not a cd slot or USB port. I only have an iPad no computer so how on earth do I use my printer with it if it I can't install the printer cd. I though I would be able to use Bluetooth and it would pick it up automatically but I am really confused now and don't know what to do please help.
The iPad uses AirPrint technology to print to a printer. Check this Apple support page to see if your printer is listed as being AirPrint compatible.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If your printer works with AirPrint you will need a Wi-Fi network in order to connect. That Wi-Fi network does not need to be connected to the Internet. As James Ward4 says, you'll need a Wi-Fi router to set up your network. Most routers require that a computer be used during the setup process. Perhaps you could use someone's computer to do the setup if you do not had one yourself. Once the router is set up you should be able to print. -
Hi,
I want to install Windows 7 on my imac in bootcamp. I have a windows 7 upgrade disk and a full vista disk. Normally on a PC I would install Vista, then upgrade to Windows 7. I see that bootcamp 4 only supports Windows 7.
Can I install the Windows 7 upgrade disk without first installing Vista? Will this work in bootcamp?
Thanks,
JimInstall 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS. -
