HT3986 How do I install Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows?

So I recently installed Windows 7 (x64) Ultimate on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012).
There are no drivers, and no Boot Camp Control Panel installed with Windows. How do I install all of this?

In Boot Camp (OSX) download the Windows Support Software, then install it in Windows.

Locked out of Windows XP Boot Camp control panel

I'm getting locked out of my Boot Camp control panel under Windows XP with the following message:
"An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings.
You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again."
Likewise if I try to restart OS X from the XP icon tray, I get this message:
"Could not locate the Mac OS X boot volume."
However, holding the alt-key at boot up reveals both startup disks. I can boot successfully into OS X and XP using the alt-key, and I can switch startup disks successfully from the OS X System Preferences pane. Also, the Boot Camp partition is visible to Vmware Fusion and can be used to boot into Windows XP successfully. It's only within native Windows XP that the OS X boot volume is not accessible.
I'm running Windows XP Home (SP3) with the latest Boot Camp 2.1 update. Re-running the BCUpdateXP.exe program to repair Boot Camp was unsuccessful. The OS X boot volume still can't be accessed from XP. Any ideas out there?

Same problem, same error message now in October 2008. Running Mac OS X 10.5.5 & Windows XP SP3. Also running MacDrive and Norton Anti-Virus for Windows.
Problem disappears upon reverting to WinXP SP2 using Windows System Restore. Imperfect fix, but it does work. Revert to last restore point when SP2 was working.

How do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2

how do i install boot camp on a brand new 3tb iMac osx 10.8.2?

Note: At this time BootCamp doesn't support 3TB drives - this is due to a memory allocation issue with Windows. Check out this article on a/an (unreliable) work around. I say unreliable because some people are reporting success and others failure. At this time if you really need Windows it probably would be better to use virtualization software like Parallels, VMWare, or VirtualBox.

Why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel?

I am currently asking this in Yahoo! Answers as well:
I just used Boot Camp Assistant around a week ago to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display (and if it also helps find a solution: I'm also using Mountain Lion). At first, certain keyboard functions that can be used in the Mac OS (such as brightness and volume adjustment; oh, + the trackpad functions) that couldn't be used in Windows didn't exactly bother me since I was able to manage without them... until I started to play online games - which is the main reason I had to dual boot my macbook. When I already found it annoying to continuously click control+left click to perform right click, I started to look for solutions, and I noticed that most people online have said, "Oh, simply adjust your settings in the BOOT CAMP CONTROL PANEL. There should be this DIAMOND in your task bar; click on it so that you can apply changes you want. It should be there after you have installed Windows..." ... Well, thing is: in my case, it DOESN'T APPEAR! "Check your control panel," they say. "You will surely find it there." Check for me, if you will, because I seriously have no clue why I can't find it, even after checking using the Search bar...
Now... why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel? I find it really strange how it doesn't appear in mine when it does in most of other people's... I kinda dislike the idea of reinstalling Windows, because over the week, I've downloaded several drivers and other applications (mostly games). Is there any way I could get it without having to undergo the process of deleting and uninstalling files? I need my Mac OS for school and office work (don't ask) and I need to have my entertaining pastimes using Windows. Please don't hesitate to suggest as many ideas as you can...
Thank you!

It appears from your description that you did not download and install the Windows support software. It was one of the first menu items you saw when you started Boot Camp Assistant.
Run Boot Camp Assistant again and select the menu option to download the Windows support software. Save this download as described then install it from within Windows.

Boot Camp control panel does not load: Windows XP via VMWare Fusion

whenever i try to access the boot camp control panel--either via the diamond-shaped boot camp icon running in the task bar, or through the windows control panel itself--i get the following error message related to administrative privileges:
"An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again."
is this because i am running windows as a virtual machine within fusion? obviously i'm not interested in the control panel for its startup options, but rather for its other adjustments such as brightness, trackpad, etc.
i am logged in as administrator--that is the only account i have--and i am running boot camp 2.1 on windows xp sp3.
boring possibly-related background info:
- i installed sp3 before ever putting boot camp on my windows virtual machine. i started, of course, with boot camp 2.0 via the OEM leopard install disk, but even after that installed successfully, i could not access the boot camp control panel. so i plowed forward and installed the 2.1 update, but to no avail.
- i even un-installed sp3 and rolled back to sp2, then removed all traces of boot camp, then re-installed starting from 2.0, but to no avail.
google reveals that a few others have gotten this error message, but i've seen no definitive answer for any of them.

Check your XP Task Manager to see if the processes are running or not. I found that I had issues with my Boot Camp Control Panel if I let it auto-launch. It would hang and not start properly most of the time (but it would sometimes). I removed the process from the auto-start list and put an icon on my desktop to manually start it, and it works right every time now. As for the special keys, etc many of those only work right once the control panel app running.

Windows XP Home installs correctly, but Boot Camp control panel will not

I put XP Home onto my 13" MPB and everything works except the Boot Camp control panel and the multitouch and special keys. When I put in the disc it loads and starts to install, as it finishes up and installs the control panel, it shuts down and doesn't install. When it restarts everything except control panel are there. Am I doing something wrong? I have reinstalled twice now with no avail.

OS X not showing up in boot camp control panel

Hi, I am using mac book pro with OS X mavericks. Recently I installed windows 8.1 with boot camp assistant. It was all running fine. I partitioned my windows 8.1 drive to a new volume. When I did this,my OS X disappeared in bootcamp control panel. It not showing up in the list of OS's when we boot the machine. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you are not seeing the OS X partition while holding down the option/alt key during a restart, it appears your Boot Camp installation damaged the OS X partition, which is probably why it is not showing up in the Boot Camp control panel.
Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then select the Macintosh HD partition and re-install the OS.

OSX not listed in Vista Boot Camp Control Panel as a Startup Disk

When I go to the Boot Camp Control Panel in Vista, OSX is not listed as a startup disk option, only Windows is. Also if I right click the Boot Camp icon in the tray and choose "Restart in MAC OS X" that does not work.
Vista Ultimate is installed on a separate physical disk on my Mac Pro. In OS X both operating systems show up as target disks. Both show up as an option when I hold the option key when rebooting.
AppleCare had me re-install BootCamp in vista from the OSX cd and then run the Apple Check for Updates program (none found). This had no effect.
So this mainly just an inconvenience. This inconvenience prevents me from using non apple keyboards as they don't have an option key or enable be to program the keyboard to the same. And since I have some minor apple blue tooth keyboard/mouse problems under Vista, I would like to be able to use another keyboard/mouse.

I have the same problem not seeing OS X as a startup or restart option in Boot Camp. I'm using Vista 64 in Boot Camp on a 2008 Mac Pro.

No 'Keyboard' tab on boot camp control panel - MBP Jun 2009 + Windows 7100

I've been trying for 2 weeks now to get the function keys to work on my MBP (bought Jun 2009) using Windows 7 Build 7100.
This is the 3 ghz MBP with 256gig ssd. Boot camp partitoned fine, windows 7 installed ok, and boot camp ran fine as well. I even downloaded the 2.1 boot camp update and reinstalled the drivers.
The thing is no matter what i do, the keyboard function keys dont work. And i've noticed that the Keyboard tab does not appear on the Boot Camp control panel. The dvd eject button doesnt work either, the sound not working, and also the trackpad is a bit jumpy.
I've researched a lot already for this problem, and it seems people do get Windows 7 to work find on a MBP (even with Vista drivers) so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
The machine itself by the way is incredibly quick under Windows 7. Everything is pretty much instant. What a pleasure:)

I've solved the problem.
The Boot Camp Support Software I orginally ran was downloaded straight from the Apple website so I thought it must be ok, but just to be sure I went back into OS X and downloaded it through the Boot Camp Assistant, switched back to Windows, installed it and everything game out fine! There must have been something Apple put into the software through Boot Camp but not their own site. All the tabs were there, the volume/brightness buttons worked etc.

Missing tabs in Boot Camp Control Panel

Hi all,
I recently just finished an installation of x64 Windows 7 on my Macbook Air. My problem started with me realising I couldn't use the volume/brightness/etc buttons on the keyboard to control those functions, they simply acted as F1, F2, F3 etc. I opened the Boot Camp Control Panel to change this but noticed I only had two tabs, labelled 'Startup Disk' and 'Brightness'. I know for a fact there should be more than two tabs in the Boot Camp Control Panel but I have no idea why they aren't there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with Office 2007 whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows

Sadly I have a Win7 laptop as my work hack and am using Office 2007. Outside of work I use iCloud to sync calenders between various iOS/OS X devices however whenever I install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows Plugin my email no longer loads. Outlook starts fine and just sits there with an empty inbox waiting for mail to load. I can't even open the iCloud Panel from within Control Panel either to set preferences!
Unistalling the iCloud plug-in resolves this but I really want to sync my iCloud calender with Outlook and can't see any other way to do it, plus it worked before and then just stopped.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I tired everything that was suggested in the forum. Tried IE and firefox to no avail. When I tried computers in stores both worked. A friend of mine who has the 32 bit setup got it to work. Several folks have stated it is the compatability issue with 64 bit. As a last resort, I loaded safari on my home computer, and yep, it works. Go figure, apple product.

HT3986 how do you enlarge boot camp partition after windows is installed

how do you enlarge boot camp partition after windows is installed

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can do it with third-party programs, but I don't recommend it because you can damage the hard drive. The best way to do it is to delete your Windows volume and create it again with the size you need
