HT1237 Trying to install Boot Camp on my iMac but my model isn't listed above (model identifier iMac 8,1), could it be a mistake or is there no new firmware for it?

I have no idea whats wrong but imac 8,1 dosnt show on the list someone help please?!

the 2 are unrelated, you already have boot camp assistant as an application on OSX, if the firmware page doesn't show an updated firmware for your machine then there's no update available

Call Applecare and ask them to send you a replacement set. The will charge you a nominal fee for shipping and handling.

I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space to make a partition, however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space on my start up disk - that I need at least 10GB free space - however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!

if your SSD is only 60 GBs, then you don't have space on which to install Windows. That 27 GBs is space you need to have for adding files you create, music you download, added applications, pictures, etc. You need to maintain at least 10 GBs as free space for OS X, plus you need space for files OS X will create and add to over time.
Your 60 GB SSD is just a minimum usable size for OS X. There isn't sufficient space to also support Windows which requires close to 25 GBs of the 27 GBs you still have free. Sorry, but that just doesn't really work well.

Trying to install Boot Camp on MacBook Pro (late 2011) os x Lion

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to install Boot Camp for my MacBook but when I get up to installing the Windows support software it just stops at around 20% and won't go any further. I've tried restarting the whole thing a few times but it still won't move at all. It's very frustrating as I need some software for one of my University papers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can I install boot camp on my computer, but install all my PC games for it on an external hardrive?

I have a new Mac, but I want to install boot camp on it. However, I would only really be using it for gaming.
On another post, someone said that you could not install boot camp entirely onto an external hardrive. As boot camp would only be for gaming, then could I install all my games (when I'm given the option to chose the file of where to install) onto an external drive which is correctly formatted? (what is the format too?)
Thank you

Thunderbolt storage is a great idea. OS X can run off one and yes you can create an NTFS drive or partition.
One person I thought said Tb was possible but may have taken a system image restore to get there, only one, and not 'documented' to say how to.

Trying to install boot camp on Leopard - disc cannot be partitioned.......

Hi
I have upgraded to Leopard and tried to install bootcamp last night only to get the same message as above.
+"the disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved"+
It goes on to say.....
+back up disk and use disk utility to format it as a single mac extendable (journaled) volume. estore your information to the disk and try using boot camp again.+
*I have a few issues:*
1. my volume is already formatted to mac extendable with journal.
2. what software do i use to back up my existing volume?
3. What is the best way to remedy this?
TIA

Hiya
I eventually had to do a back up of;
mail
safari
+important .dmg files+
iphoto
itunes
movies
+other major stuff I wanted to keep+ .....
......to my external HDD and selected the option to do a clean installation for Leopard, rather than an upgrade. From reading other posts, bootcamp possibly has a problem installing on a HDD that has been 'used' - IYKWIM
As soon as the new fresh version of Leopard appeared. I installed bootcamp with no problems on my mac.
The only problem I am now facing it that when it boots up to WinXP, I lose connection of my bluetooth mouse/keyboard - due to apple installing the required drivers from the Leopard DVD. I will fix this on Monday when I get a hold of a USB mouse. '-)
The only other major thing to do is print out the bootcamp instructions before you start the process - they help a lot - I needed to refer to them, even though I have installed windows plenty of time through the years.

E72: Is there a new firmware for Nokia Messaging ?

Hello,
I have E72 and it has integrated Nokia Messaging. But when I look up Nokia's messaging website, It talks about additional functions like social networking as part of nokia messaging. Are these available for E72 ? I also see the newer Nokia phones,C3,C6 & E5 already have the new version of messaging softwware. Any idea if E72 will get these ?
Thanks
venks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nokia Messaging is rather confusing as there are different components.
There's Nokia Messaging Email which is built into the E72 email client (which is part of the firmware).
Then there's Nokia Messaging for IM (aka 'Chat'), which you should have pre-installed as the 'Chat' app.
Finally there's Nokia Messaging for Social Networks which is another separate app.
If you go to http://messaging.nokia.com/ and select your phone, it will show you the services available in NM. You can't download the Email client as it's built into the firmware. You can download the IM app though to update the one built in (I think it may be available via Control Panel -> Phone -> Software Update on the phone also).
NM for Social Networks isn't currently available for the E72 officially. It was available as a beta but it's been removed, I believe due to quality issues. I had downloaded it and frankly it was fairly rubbish.
Personally, if you want an app for Facebook, you can do better getting the official Facebook app for the E72 (from the Ovi Store) and for Twitter get Gravity. The latter has some beta and alpha versions which also support Facebook (plus as GPS support and other features) which work great. Yes, Gravity costs money, but frankly it's well worth paying for as it's one of the best Twitter clients on any mobile phone.
P.S. NM for Email can only be updated by a firmware update of the email client. There are newer versions of the email client for 5th edition as it's not integrated into the firmware. Unfortunately Nokia decided to integrate it on the E72 and these updates are not available to us. That means crucially we don't get Destinations support in the email client

Cannot install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit

I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my macbook. I also installed Boot Camp 3.0.1 after Windows 7 installation, however, WiFi did not work. Therefore, I needed to upgrade to the latest Boot Camp 3.2. However, when I tried to install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 74 bit, I got an error message saying that I needed Boot Camp 3.1 installed first. I CANNOT find Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit on Apple website at all. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way to get the complete Boot Camp 3.2 package that can simply be installed on version 3.0.1??

here is the link to bootcamp 3.1 for windows 7 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336 .. and no there is no package that can be applied to the windows side to go from 3.0.1 to 3.2

Unable to install Boot Camp Drivers for Windows

Mac Pro (2) 3.2 Xeon quads
Mac OS 10.5.2
Boot Camp side - Windows XP pro x64 w/SP2
Step 3 listed in the instructions for setting up Boot Camp is to Install the Boot Camp drivers for Windows. At this point Windows recognizes my Mac Install disk 1. I get the following message: "the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again." I am not sure if I needed to do something to install the Service Pack 2? My firmware is at MP31.006C.B02 and 1.25f4. When I checked for the latest firmware, it returned a message that it was not necessary.
Maybe the XP pro x64 is not compatible?

I did install windows xp sp2 32 bit on my macbook pro 2.2 GB and I'm getting the same ...
When trying to install boot camp drivers, a message came up saying:
Boot Camp requires that your computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
The only option it gave me was to click the "OK" button. When I clicked OK , another message came up saying:
Boot Camp Installer completed. The install encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again. Click "finish" to exit installer. I am running a brand new full retail version of windows xp service pack 2. Applecare will not help blaming Microsoft and of course Microsoft is blaming Apple. What a bunch of useless crap!! Can anyone help??

How to install Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro 2011

Well I bought a new MacBook Pro and I have constantly been trying to install Boot Camp.
When I open Boot Camp it shows me the Introduction, then it asks me if I would like to install the Lastest Windows Supports Software From Apple, and if I would like to Install Windows 7. I tick both boxes and then another page opens.
It asks me if I would like to install it to a DVD or CD, or if I would like to install it to an external hard drive. Now, I have tried both of these, and they both show a page asking me how much space I would like to be Mac space, and Windows space. After I've chosen how much I would like, I click install. After about 30 seconds, a message pops up saying the installer disk could not be found, please insert the installer disk and wait a few seconds, and the click install again.
I have done this many times, and that same message pops up. Please, if any of you people out there have the solution for me it would be gratefully apreciated.
Thanks.

No, it doesn't. You have to purchase the Windows 7 installer. Windows is not included with the computer. Did you discuss the matter with someone when you bought your computer? If you did they should have told you that you would need to buy Windows 7. If you had asked while you were purchasing the computer then you could have paid for Windows at the time and had it installed for you.

Unable to install Boot Camp 3.1 on Win 7 on iMac Intel (suggestions?)

I got the OEM version of Windows 7, professional and 64 bits, and installed it via Boot Camp Assistant. Got it running (no keyboard recognition), and tried to install Boot Camp for Win 7 via the Apple site:
"Unable to install 3.1, needs 3.0".
No problem, insert OSX disk (10.6.3), click, aaand:
"Boot Camp 64bit is not supported on this model"
Uh?,... I thought that my machine was supported (it's running Win7 64bits!),... any suggestions?. Am I doing something wrong?. Any help will be appreciated.

Unfortunately I cannot answer your question but I'm hoping someone can help us. I went a step further than you. I have an iMac 8.1 Intel Core 2Duo 2.8 GHZ Processor (early 2008). I spoke with Apple Customer Support and made it clear that I had Windows 32 bit and 64 bit software and wanted to install on my iMac and MBP. The agent told me to order Snow Leopard for the iMac. I found out tonight I cannot use 64 bit on this particular iMac even though Customer Support had the serial number and data when we ordered the Snow Leopard disc.
So, I partitioned the HD equally between Mac and Windows. Boot Camp installed Windows 7 with no problem and then encountered the same thing you did. Install Boot Camp 3.0 before 3.1. When I put the brand new Mac OS X Snow Leopard from Apple in the iMac it said 'not supported'. I tried to install but it won't.
Funnything is Win 7 seems to be running. I am having problems with the numeric keyboard on the UBS keyboard. I haven't really tried to do too much.
My question to append to yours is how do I go about uninstalling Windows 7 and installing Windows 7 32 bit?
I'm sick about this but at least I believe I can install the 64 bit on my current MBP. I wanted it on both my computers.

Trying to install boot rom update on 10.7.3 - but will not

I'm trying to install boot camp and I can't install until I update the BOOT ROM. I've downloaded the package macmini2011efiupdate.pkg and this coorsponds with my 5.2 model identifier. I have already updated lion to 10.7.3 and I seem to think that maybe the boot rom update was intended for 10.7.2 and it won't let me install on 10.7.3 because it thinks it isn't compatible?
The message I get when I try to install the Boot ROM update is this software is not supported by your system.
Sincerely, Kevin

Same feeling here... I am not advocate of mac. I bought one only for iPhone development. However the hardware is cool, it is my main home PC with Windows 7. For the OSX I left only 80GB disk space and the rest goes for Windows. Well, things would have been different if the OSX was workable the moment I bought it but it was not the case until this EFI update. Now I do not even think of get rid of the Windows.
Back to your case, what is wrong with your mac so you long for the update so badly? From the link you provided I gathered that your mini 5.2 is the one with ATI Radeon discrete graphic. Are there any problems with those? I thought only the HD3000 were so "crappy" because they were the cheapest version.
Anyway, if you slow down, do not expect too much, you will just gradually get used to the OSX philosophy. It's just different than Windows or Linux (on purpose I think). If you lunch Finder and Navigate to Application->Utilities there are the very useful things for start: "Grab" let you do screen capture and "Console" is like the EventViewer on Windows. You should lunch the Console, select "All Messages" and try the update again - look if there is anything logged from the update package which might help. You can also try to reset the SMC and check if that would help - if I remember correctly, the procedure is to unplug everything from the mini, wait ~5 minutes, plug only the power cord keeping the power button pressed for ~1 minute. The funny thing about that is that you have to follow it literally, I left the mouse and keyboard connected and I got wierd result - the fan was keeping at maximum speed. But try to verify the exact procedure on apple web, sorry I am a bit lazy now to search for it again ( I did it because I was desperate about fixing the sleep-resume problem). Anyway, again I would recommend not touching anything if you do not have any problems with your mac just because it does not want to "get something new". Just a common sense
Well, sory I just have scrolled up, and see your originall post why are you about the EFI update. It's really bad the Boot Camp does such check. It really does not make sense. You can do the install manually if you like, it's not so complicated. First go to disk management app in the Utility folder, and partition your disk formating the new one as FAT32 (the one which would be your windows partition). Next boot your minit keeping left alt pressed - you should see a list of booting devices so if you connected USB DVD (or pen drive with Windows - it's simple to do it yourself, just google for the recipe) you can boot the windows install. During the installation select the FAT32 partition and let Windows format it as NTFS and that's all. You can download from apple web a package for all drivers for Windows 7, and just install it in your windows. To choose which os you would like to boot, you can always do the left-alt select. I opted for installing rEFIt - it's really cool boot menu.

Installing Boot Camp in windows 7

I installed Windows 7 64 bit on my MacBook Pro 15" from mid 2009, all went well until I tried to install Boot Camp from my OS 10.6 start up disk. Most but not all components install and when I run the Boot Camp 3.1 update it says I need to install Boot Camp 3.0. My key board works partially, as dose the track pad. I have read some solutions in this forum but they all include a right click which I don't have without the updated driver that I can't install. Apple doesn't seem to offer a complete Boot Camp 3.1 64bit download. I'm not sure why I've installed Windows at all, for two days all I've done is down load drivers. I know I sound like a commercial but Windows 7 is a giant pain in the ***.

Maybe your post should be reversed some how. In any case the Boot Camp form is here:
