How can i update bootcamp without windows installed?

Hi,
I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro and am currently running 10.6.8.
I need to use CATIA for University, so i would like to install Windows 7.
I currently have BootCamp 3.0.4, but it says on the support page that I need BootCamp 4 be able to use Windows 7.
Is it possible to update BootCamp without ever having installed Windows? Can anyone please be so kind and explain the steps I need to be able to install Windows 7?
Thanks a lot!

  • How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?

    How can I update Flash WITHOUT installing Chrome?  I keep getting update messages.  I go throught the download and install process but there is no option to un-check installing Chrome.  I don't want Chrome. I'm not asking for Chrome.  I just want to update Flash.

    There are a few threads around here with this same issue, and as far as I know Adobe has not addressed it adequately.  Many of us, when we are prompted with an update for Flash, are not given the option to opt out of installing google toolbar and google chrome.
    Adobe is playing cute, pretending to be surprised at such reports.  They always demand screenshots of it, and then ignore them when the screenshots are posted. Then demand screenshots in the next thread with the same issue, feigning surprise that such an isue could occur. Sometimes they insist it isnt happening or it is somehow user error (as if it is user error to simply allow the update from their app to install after getting the update message from their app!  )
    The problem , in my case, was that the update goes to a URL that autoselects chrome and toolbar.  I found if I manually edited the URL, that it would not automatically install chrome and toolbar.
    Basically the URL has to be manually edited , so take out the " &a=Google_Toolbar_7.4&a=Google_Chrome_22.0_IE_Browser " at the end AND the "&dualoffer=true&chromedefault=true" bit in the middle.  Then it will give you the opt-out. Then do make sure to uncheck the box, obviously    And it is obvious that the users are not doing this on purpose, this is built into Adobe's updater, somewhere.   I went into a little more detail in   http://forums.adobe.com/message/5274050

  • Have 3 Ipads how can I update all without download each time

    I have 3 IPads one one computer how can I update all without downloading for each one ?

    If they are the same model (iPad 1, iPad 2 wifi, iPad 2 CDMA, or ipad 2 GSM/sim) then for the second and third devices just press hold the shift key on windows, or the command key on a Mac, when clicking on the Check For Updates button in iTunes, and then navigate to the IPSW file - if they are different models then I believe that each model has a different update file.

  • Software Update is not show in general.... How can i update ios without this?

    Software Update is not show in general.... How can i update ios without this?

    What model iPad and what iOS are you running? The max iOS for the iPad 1 is 5.1.1.
    See
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
     Cheers, Tom

  • How can I update iOS without losing my media?

    Hey guys, how can I update iOS without losing my media?
    I've been told to sign into iTunes on another computer, authorize the computer in iTunes, then sync my iDevice before updating iOS. When I attempted that I got a warning message from iTunes saying the content on my iDevice would be replaced with the content on the computer so I backed out. I don't have my computer with me and I'd really like to sync my iDevice with another computer so I can update my iDevice to iOS 5.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Wait till IOS 7 has been officially released in fall - now it is only available for developers.
    And see this for compatibility with IOS 7 on your phone: (scroll down to the bottom of the page)

  • HT201541 How can I update Safari without updating the OS?

    How can I update Safari without updating the OS? I presently have 10.7.5 and 1.6.1
    I am getting too many notices that my browser is out of date...
    b
    PS, a note to Apple. You use terms like Mountain Lion,  Yosemite, etc. But in other places you use
    10.6, 11.7, etc. Could you be consistent? use one or the other, not both. Please. Or always use both together.

    Shoot Apple, you don't make things easy. I don't want to upgrade OS as you now require an itunes account to get upgrades, and I'm against that. (until I have to).
    So I switched to the chrome browser, that works.
    PS, Ralph, yes, I can lookup the version numbers, but I have not felt the need to memorize them. My question is why does apple make it so difficult that we have to memorize the version number to name correspondence?

  • I have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    i have iphoto 7.1.5.  How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

    I'm not sure where you are seeing the "negative reviews" but I like it and many, many people posting here do even though this is a forum for people with problems
    No one knows when the next upgrade will be bu tit will require a purchase
    I'm sure that there will be a few more updated for iPhoto '11 but probably not many - it has had a lot and is approaching the end of its life cycle I would think
    And be sure to have a good backup prior to upgrading (as always) - I suggest in addition to your normal backup routine that you make one more copy of the iPhoto library on your main hard drive if you have space - remember that you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space jus tto run your Mac
    And prior to launching iPhoto '11 the first time be sure to run software update and be sure it is up to the latest version

  • How can i update bootcamp to 3.1 before installing windows 7 if 3.1 is required to install windows 7?

    Seems like a catch 22---bootcamp 3.1 is required to install windows 7 but you can't update bootcamp 3.0 to 3.1 unless you're on the windows side. What gives here??

    Lousy and incompetent tech writers are  to blame.
    3.1 drivers are req'd
    Apple pushed their 3.0 drivers out before Windows 7 was nailed in place.
    The Lion 4.01 drivers avoid the multiple out of date steps.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.0 came out in Aug 2009 and the drivers were buggy.
    In fact I don't think SL was ready either but that is another topic and issue.
    Wish there was a way, but Boot Camp 3.3 is what I use or there is a link to 4.01 set - Windows has nothing to do with Lion, you don't need Lion other than to download drivers standalone driver took 4 minutes for 600MB, people say it takes HOURS or days to get a set of drivers. 600MB is smaller than the recent iOS 5 update, or the whole iTunes + Lion 10.7.2 along with other updates, but they can't get it to "work?"
    Windows driver package
    Download to Windows, you will be current, no more updates needed and works on any Mac running Windows 7

  • How can I update Firefox without having the Web Crawler too.

    I used the update to the latest Firefox offered when I opened my current version of Firefox. The download was uneventful.
    Then I tried to use the "new improved version of Firefox".
    When I tried to search for something my Google was overridden and Web Crawler took over. I could not remove any
    reference to Web Crawler and have the new version work.
    I finally ended up deleting Firefox completely and reloading from a thumb drive.
    Everything is good again, but I would like to upgrade if there is a way to avoid Web Crawler.
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

    Watch out for unofficial upgrades, which sometimes are advertised in popups generated by web pages using official-looking text and images. If you get a prompt and you're not sure it's trustworthy, you can always get Firefox from here:

  • How do I update Safari without new OSX?

    I have a 1 GB Intel core 2 running Safari 5.0.6 It no works on all sites. How can I update Safari without installing a new OS? My OS is 10.5.8

    Where do I get new OSX??
    You start here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    That disk updates your computer to OS10.6 but also give you the Mac App Store application, the mechanism for all current and future upgrades.
    However, newer Mac OS versions may need more RAM than you computer shipped with to run acceptably. Yours probably shipped with 2GB; the current Mac OS--10.10 Yosemite--is hard to run on less than 4GB. You model's RAM can be upgraded to 4GB officially but, with a newer, larger (and more expensive) special module, you can increase it to 6GB.
