How to install BootCamp5 drivers for Windows 8?

I have a Mac mini and have installed Windows 8 (64-bit) using Bootcamp. It works fine, but I hear that you should install some drivers. I downloaded them from the apple support website and put them on a usb flashdrive that uses the format "MS-DOS (FAT)".
When I double-click "setup.exe", I get "This app can't run on your PC". When I run as admin it says that it can't find "D:\BootCamp\setup.exe".
It may be worth mentioning that my mac is also running as a server (using the Mac OS X Server app).
How do I fix this?
Let me know if you need any more info...

Finally, the solution! I just had to use another flashdrive. If anybody has this problem, all you have to do is just change flashdrive. In my case the pdf files were corrupted when transferred to the flashdrive, using disk utility seemed to remove most of the folders, and many other files were "broken" as well,  so change the flashdrive and it should work!

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

  • How Do I Install Apple Drivers For Windows XP?

    Okay, so I have a 15 inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro that is running OS X Mavericks. After many attempts, I managed to install Windows XP 32 bit as a secondary operating system on the HDD using Disk Utility. The only devices that Windows XP recognised upon the installation were the keyboard and the trackpad. I then inserted a Snow Leopard disc to install the Apple Drivers for Windows XP and it appeared as though the drivers got installed(the Boot Camp icon appeared on the taskbar next to the digital clock). However, when I restarted windows, none of the devices other than the keyboard and the trackpad worked. Does this imply that the drivers didn't get installed? If so, why is this and how can I install the drivers? If the drivers did get installed, why aren't the devices working? Please help me out, if possible. Thanks in advance.

    It does not work because you are running Mavericks and trying to use non-Mavericks drivers for an operating system (XP) that is not support on your hardware or your operating system.

  • How to install bootcamp drivers on Windows 8?

    Hello,
    Today I decided to install Windows 8 onto my Mac Pro running 10.8.5 in order to play games on Steam.  I started BootCamp assistant and made a 65GB partition for Windows 8, and when I tried to install Windows I unchecked the top box (not sure what it said now).  Now I have a Windows computer, I CANNOT get back to OS X.  The Mac Pro will not boot into OS X, it just goes straight to Windows every time.  I've read that there should be some place in Windows to switch back, but I cannot find it.  I tried holding down the option key upon boot up at the gray screen, it still goes straight to Windows.  I tried holding command R at the boot up screen, it goes straight to Windows.  HELP!!  I picked the 60.5GB partition to install on, could it have somehow erased my OS X partition?  Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers from Windows?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jared

    [Enable Bluetooth functionality after a clean installation of Windows 8|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03FI0001R04.htm]
    If a clean installation of Windows 8 has been performed, Bluetooth is not present and does not work on your notebook. It is necessary to install two driver components manually to activate the Bluetooth functionality.
    - Toshiba System Driver
    - If your notebook is equipped with an Atheros or Realtek WLAN card with Bluetooth, you have to download the Atheros or Realtek Bluetooth Filter Driver

  • How to install additional drivers for a shared photosmart c6180?

    Hi, i am running windows 7 x64 and i have shared a photosmart c6180 on the pc.  I need to add additional 32bit drivers so that pc's that run xp 32 bit can print to the shared printer (i cannot connect these other pc's directly to the printer via network).  any way, under the sharing tab in printer properties, i can click on 'additional drivers' and choose x86, but then it asks for a driver location.  what location do i specify?  i've already tried c:\windows and c:\windows\system32, but it does not pick up any drivers at those locations.  i've also downloaded all of the latest drivers from the hp site, but when i run the executable and specify their extracted locations, for example, c:\users\user1\appdata\temp\7Z139A\, it does not see any drivers there either.
    any help is greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    You wont be able to use exiting Win XP drivers on windows 7. You need to get new drivers for Windows 7, and install them as per your convenience, ie manually or automate it via script GP

  • Portege M400 - How to install Toshiba Utilities for Windows 7?

    I've upgraded my Portege M400 to Winows 7 (32bit) which went fine. However, cant find how to get and install the utilities I had included with the XP Tablet version.
    Can anyone suggest how to get them (I understand they were available for Vista)?
    TIA.
    Kris

    Hi
    The Toshiba Utilities that you mean are only designed for Windows XP. On Windows Vista and Windows 7 you need only the Toshiba Value Added Package. This package contains all what you need.
    Portege M400 doesnt support Windows 7 but you can try to install the Vista drivers. The most of them are also work on Windows 7.
    As far as I know you also need Toshiba Button Support on this model.

  • How to install USB driver for Windows?

    I'm trying to connect my LG VS980 phone to a Windows XP computer. I'm having difficulty installing the USB driver.
    After following several false trails, I found what I think is the right file: on a "Product Support" page which says it's for a "G2 Verizon VS980," there's a button labeled, "Install the USB DRIVER / USB DRIVER for Windows / DOWNLOAD." I clicked the button and downloaded a file 8 MB file. Its name is LG. Not LG.exe or LG.msi or LG.zip. Just LG.
    When I double click the file, Windows quite reasonably asks me what program to use to run it. I don't know what program to use any more than Windows does.
    There's a link labeled "Instructions... LG G2 VS980 SOFTWARE UPDATE below the download button. When I click it, it loads instructions for installing software on the phone.
    Can anyone make sense of this for me?

    I'll so my best to answer the questions.
    >...what you're looking to do a transfer with...?
    Initially I want to download pictures taken with the phone's camera. I've considered other uses for a USB connection that I can explore once it's working. I'm puzzled by the question, though. Why should the type of data I want to transfer affect the fact that I can't find an installable driver? I wonder whether my question means the same thing to you as it does to me.
    Because photos and music are the basic media people want to transfer between their phones and computers. (Computers in this sense are laptops, desktops, note books etc.) So the question to you was valid.
    >Also, have you tried any other computers?
    No. Again, I'm puzzled. What difference would another computer make? Would I be able to find a download from one computer that I can't find from another? (Only by blind chance.) Might another computer be able to execute or load a file with no filetype? (Only if it has magical powers.)
    Different computers may work where the computer you own evidently does not work. It is good to check the connection of the device to another computer to rule that out. I will answer the obvious of different operating systems and how they function.
    >And which software version if your phone currently running?
    That question makes sense. Unfortunately I can't answer it. I've looked up how to find the version number, and the instructions tell me to select an "About phone" item in the Settings menu, which doesn't exist.
    Doesn't exist? open the Settings Menu go all the way to the bottom (scroll down) the last entry is "ABOUT PHONE" click it. It will give hardware and software versions operating system number etc. Its there trust me. My wife just bought this phone and loves it.
    >Often times, the device drivers you're prompted to install are supported solely by the computer's software.
    I'm not sure what you're saying here. Taken at face value, it's a trivial and obvious: any driver that one installs on any computing device is supported solely by (i.e., depends on) the device's software. But how does that relate to the question about the version of Android? Android runs on the phone; the driver has to run on the computer.
    You stated you are using an older Windows XP computer, I can tell you I hooked my wife's phone to our Windows 8.1 computer and no drivers were necessary. It came up with an option on the phone screen and I chose USB Mass Storage for the connection. This option is also in the phones settings. Read the manual it has loads of information form you to use.
    The device had a drive letter assigned and it was labeled LG-Network and once you double click it the folders for music, photos, etc. are all there. Via using windows manager you can simply do a copy and paste to and from the different folders and drives with ease.
    Good Luck

  • How to install 64bit drivers on Windows 7?

    What steps do I need to take in order to find the bootcamp 64 bit drivers for my Macbook Pro Windows 7 partition? I already know that by inserting the OSX install disc that came with my MacBook Pro, will pop up a setup.exe file, but will the wizard find the appropriate drivers? or I should go to the bootcamp64.msi file inside the OSX directory?
    Thank You for any help in this matter...

    Doesn't the bootcamp drivers wizard install apple software update for that matter? (I already went to visit the site) Well, do I have to let the wizard run or I have to select the bootcamp64.msi installer to get my bootcamp 64bit drivers?
    Besides, I have a 2010 Macbook Pro, I can't certify that these drivers will work? Still I will take a look to the link.
    Thank You.

  • Portege R500 - How to install 3G-drivers on Windows 7?

    I have the PPR50E with the built in 3g-card.
    I am unable to install the vista-drivers for the 3g-card, and I haven't found anything on google either.
    Anyone gotten it to work on windows 7?

    Hi
    Did you try to install the 3G driver/software released for the Vista OS.
    Did it work on Win 7?
    I noticed that many Vista drivers and tools would be compatible with Win 7.
    It seems that the 3G module is from Novatel.
    I found the Novatel software on the Toshiba European page.
    Check it!

  • How to install unix drivers for Olympus MAUSB smartmedia reader

    I want to use my Olympus "Camedia" MAUSB-2 smartmedia card reader. I have downloaded a coupl eof drivers from the web
    USBDSSFDCReaderDriver
    USBSSFDCReaderShim
    These show up as Unix Executables in the Finder
    I have no idea how to install them. Can anyone help?

    Where did you find these files?
    I can't find any support for MAUSB-2 under Mac OS X?
    The only drivers I can find on Olympus' site are for Mac OS (not Mac OS X) and date from 2000 (which predates Mac OS X). Mac OS drivers won't work on Mac OS X.
    That said, I've never had to install any driver for any card reader I've used. Are you sure you need one?
