How do I download the Windows 7 drivers to disc?
The original OS on my wife's HP Pavilion was Windows 8. We both agreed that 8 had to go. I tried to load Windows 7 Pro 64 bit SP1 onto the computer, but was unsuccessful. I was then told by the Geek Squad that Windows 7 could be installed over 8, but there was a good likelyhood of functionality loss due to 8's unique drivers. I then went out and replaced the hard drive so that I could load Windows fresh. The install of 7 went fine, but i have no drivers for Internet connection, usb, nothing. I want to download the drivers on another computer and save them to blue-ray disc, NOT install them on the downloading computer. I need the drivers themselves, NOT the driver installer setup. I already have the setup, but it won't work without an internet connection. Please advise
Post exact model details of your notebook so people can help link you to drivers

How do I download the windows support software for my Mac? I am getting an error message saying that the software is not available
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I do not recommend you to download the Windows support software through Boot Camp Assistant.
Instead, you can download the Windows support software for most Macs from the Apple website. Go to this website, look for your MacBook Pro model and the Windows version you want to install, and follow its steps.

How do I download the Windows Support Software for MacBook Mid-2010 ?
Hey guys, I've got quite a big problem at the moment... In December, I bought a MacBook7,1 (the Mid-2010 Unibody model) and used my OS X install disc whenever I wanted to install Windows XP/Vista/7 drivers to my Boot Camp partition. However, I've recently got quite a bit of a problem...
See, I can't find my OS X Install Disc. So I have to use, from within the Boot Camp Assistant, the "Download the Windows support software for this Mac" function, to be able to burn to DVD/install to a USB stick.
Now, this function up until recently used to work completely fine - no issues at all. However I need to reinstall my Windows 7 (again, I know, Windows has quite a few problems but I really do need to use it for what I do - gaming, etc) again, and whenever I try this option in the last... week, I'd wager, it comes up with "Download could not be continued" and "The Windows Support Software is unavailable" errors.
I've checked on this forum and some people are saying that Apple removed the support software for some Macintosh computers? What on Earth? What about us lot who don't have our OS X install discs anymore?! I don't think it's fair they've specifically gimped a functionality that was working fine until a bit ago for no apparent reason. It's just... stopped working. Is this for everyone?
Is there some alternative I can use? I've tried everything. I don't have someone I could just borrow the OS X install disc from and I think it's rather unfair if they expect to me to shell out for an OS X install disc again when I could previously do what I wanted for free!!!The point isn't whether I lost them, the point is that I was able to use the Boot Camp Assistant previously fine to download the Win Support Software and put that on a USB stick (which has since been formatted for other usage).
Since this was made available as an option, I haven't really had much need for the OS X install discs (Unless I really, really needed to reinstall OS X at some point but I have no reason to fear that right?). To claim this being "okay" because I've misplaced the discs is rather outrageous. -

I have just bought a new Macbook Pro, running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. I don't have any restore discs (obviously) being that they don't come with the macbooks anymore. I keep getting an error message when I try to download the drivers using the bootcamp assistant, telling me that the assistant can't connect to the internet, and asks me if I want to troubleshoot, despite being connected just fine. I'm not running any type of firewall that would prevent a connection for the assistant and am at lost as to what the issue could possibly be. Would be appreciative of any assistance here.

I installed windows 7 on my macbook pro. all is working but lan adaptor and sound od laptop is not working. please help me or send the link where i can download the these drivers.I have lost my resource cd .
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Bootcamp questions should be asked in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp -
No windows 7 or 8 on my Dell PC just windows vista. How do I download the free U2 cd without having windows 7 or 8? Site says icloud requires windows 7 or 8???
iCloud is a different set of features from iTunes in the Cloud.
To download your copy of the album go to iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not in my library. You should find the album there. Click the cloud symbol to download.

I have purchased Adobe Acrobat and my order number is 281998924. My previous Sony computer which used to Windows 7 crashed. I purchased a new Toshiba computer with Windows 8. How can I download the Adobe acrobat? I assume I don't have to pay for the program again? Thank you for all your help! Angelo.
If you had purchased Acrobat Standard subscription.
You need to download the application from below website :

Hi Everyone,
Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers? I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive. All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website. Filename: BootCamp5.0.5033
I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
NOTE: I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
Appreciate any assistance.
Regards,
asdutoitThere is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up -

I just downloaded the Windows Migrator and tryed to open it. A window popped up saying "YOU CANT OPEN THE APPLICATION BECAUSE MICROSOFT APPLICATIONS ARE NOT SUPPORTED ON OS X". How do i transfer my files?
An .exe application is compiled for Windows. It will not run on a different OS. If you need to run this program, then you will have to install Windows on your Mac. Either as a separate bootable partition, or running in a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMWare.
