HT5048 i want to download window 7 x64 driver for my macbook pro OSX Lion 10.7.3

Can you help me to share link to download Window 7 x64 drivers Macbook Pro OSX Lion 10.7.3

You would only damage the recovery partition if you repartitioned the drive. Simply erasing the volume is fine. (The drive and volume are often used interchangeably, but they're not. The drive is the physical device, encompassing everything on it, including all partitions. Each partition on the drive is a separate "volume." So the Macintosh HD on an out-of-the-box Mac is not actually the drive, it's a volume that takes up most of the drive.)
So, just erase with Disk Utility, then reinstall the system and as soon as the setup assistant starts, just quit that program and shut down the machine. When your brother turns it on, it will be as if he were turning it on for the first time.
Note that if you have any sensitive data, you may want to do a secure erase in Disk Utility instead of a normal erase. You may not need to keep your data safe from your brother, but you should consider what might happen if the machine were stolen from him, for example.

Airport extreme, audio won't work on windows 7 boot camp for my macbook pro osx lion

Bought my Macbookpro in late 2011 and osx lion, decided to put boot camp on it, but it won't find my airport exrteme or even if i connect the ethernet cord directly into the laptop it still wont conectto the internet, and my audio also doesn't work, even when i plug in headphones, any suggestions?

Sorry for the late reply, I've searched as much as I could all having similar issues but not quite being the same issue. I've tried manually putting in my airport extreme information, search for other connections, start a new connection, all have not worked. I did everything normally to setup windows except put in the authentication code which i have misplaced.
I might've already added the drivers but im not too sure, how would you add the driver, just in case i missed that part

This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
your computer has what is called a recovery partition that came with it.
simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
you will boot into the recovery partition.
Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
it will ask you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
easy peasy

1. Remove the drives, install them in external enclosures.
2. Use a Firewire cable to connect to your computer. Boot the mini into Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire

What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive. But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

Sean and Andy -
I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
So here's what does NOT work for me...
     (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
     (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
     (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
     (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
     (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
     (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'-- routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
     (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
     (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID!
So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ??? As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
Any advice would be appreciated! TIA.

Hello Bhagyeshree
Check out the articles below to troubleshoot issues with connecting to Wi-Fi. Start with creating a new Network Location and then search for a Wi-Fi network and if that does not work, then go through second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

No Windows 7 drivers avalible for 2011 macbook pro 15" (snow leopard 10.6.8) ?

Im hoping that you guys could help me with this one. I've run into a brick wall.
Trying to use boot camp to partition the hdd install a windows 7 x64, it seems impossible to get ahold of the drivers i need in windows.
The boot camp assistant splashes me with a option to download drivers, but states after some time "that there are no avalible drivers for your system."
Im lacking the original installation dvd, but found a dvd that is for a macbook pro 13". That helped me with everything but the keyboard and multitouchpad.
The functions that im lacking right now that i have found out is that the touchpad wont accept right clicks, no scrolling and no gestures, also the keyboard isnt lit up, and no functionkeys work. (like screen brightness, volume and cd/dvd eject key)
Im guessing that there also might be some other drivers thats missing, like the possibility to explore the osx disk from windows to share documents between the two operating systems.
Are there any other ways to get ahold of these drivers that i need without buying a dvd?
Best regards
Johan

Anyone?

What should my download and upgrade speed be for my macbook pro?

I have done alot of research on this but i can not figure out what the avery download and upgarde speed should be for my macbook pro???????????? My mac is 2 months old and has alot of memory space and is fully upragded. Please help me!

You posted in the OS 9 forum instead of the MacBook Pro forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

HT4407 i can't download windows support driver for my Macbook Pro 13" end 2011

Everytime i tried to download Windows support software from Boot Camp Assistant, i got an error message like "Can't install Windows support Software because you are not connected to the internet". Can someone help me please !!!!

Check your Network control panel and turn off Auto-Proxy setting.
This is one of the top #4 "how can they do this' pet-peeve errors.
The other is the often slow 8 hrs to download 600MB even on 10Mb+ cable.
Another, 'the drive cannot be partitioned because there isn't enough contiguous unfragemented free space; some files are locked and cannot be moved."
If auto proxy isn't it, router/modem and DNS settings.

Should I get Windows 7 or 8 for my Macbook Pro 13" early 2011

Hey All,
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice what which version of Windows I should get. My plan is that I wanted to learn some beginning program stuff that might (in the future) progress into more advanced computer programming. I decided for myself that it would be best to start learning on Windows software, but I didn't feel the need to purchase an entirely brand new computer since my macbook pro is so great.
I've been reading on bootcamp stuff, and it seems as though bootcamp does not yet support windows 8.1 (which would have been my first choice). Since I cannot currently use 8.1, what might be the next best solution? Should I just go with the supported windows 8 and just wait to update to 8.1 when bootcamp finally supports it? Or should I perhaps go the safer route and go with the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (which I heard was still good as far as windows goes).
I'm hesitant on the Windows 8 option becasue I had heard a lot of complaints about it, and I don't know how long it would be until Apple updates Bootcamp to support it. My only fear with the Windows 7 option is that it will become outdated much faster than previous versions of windows (just because it seems like there was a big jump from windows 7 to windows 8).
Any thoughts would be helpful. Any specific insight as to which version might be better for me to learn computer programming on is a definite plus. The specs for my mac should be listed below, but I'm also planning on upgrading to a Seagate 1TB solid state hybrid drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-inch ST000LM014. Also, I have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB.
Thanks!!!

Would these be the correct discs to use?: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004Q0PT3I
Seems like a reasonable price....besides "pirate free" of course.

I want an Apple Certified large capacity drive for 2008 Mac Pro

I have a Mac Pro (early 2008) filled with all Apple Certified hard drives in it.
I want to put the largest available Apple Certified hard disk drive into one of the bays.
Apple won't sell me a drive. They say I have to bring in the computer and have their service people insert a new drive.
So... They have the drives. They just insist that they... not I... do the replacement and charge me for the drive and installation.
Three of the drives were replaced BY ME at various times since I bought the computer in 2008. They sold me those drives over the counter in my local Apple Store a few miles from my house.
How can I duplicate that without losing custody of my computer for days while they put in the new drive?
Suggestions:
Can I take out ALL the drives, leave them home, and bring in the empty chassis to let them put the new drive?
Can I take out one of the "shells" that hold drives, empty it of its current drive, then take them that shell and have them populate it?
What are my options?

Memory lane.... ? "Once upon a time, far and long ago... disk drives and controllers had to be closely mated and sourced..."
SCSI drives and controllers, and later SAS, you could make an argument - maybe - and buying a set of drives, with extra spares for later when one of them failed.
Enter stage right: DIY and CIP
SATA drives are off the shelf. OEM does not matter in a system that does not use specialized hardware RAID
SSD drives can require firmware for compatibility so I could make an argument for an Apple SSD which were offered as BTO and because TRIM on 3rd party devices - because OS X looks for an ID in the product string to say "I am an Apple SKU" or not, and that is the beginning and end of that, and only matters with Yosemite for all intents and purposes.
So then you can read up on StorageReview.com and others and see what the Leaderboard has to say as well as elsewhere as far as what storage devices.
But no matter what, the same age old wisdom of having system drive, data, scratch (for those large database sorts and such or editing in graphics and video), backup (so it is online). System = small and fast, 15K SCSI no longer being king, it is now PCIe-SSDs that offer 10x or more faster, and 0.01 nanoseconds delay in seeks and latency with large queue depth for multiple IO's. The ability to load and read lots of files at 1000MB/sec or faster is perfect for system, and writes of 900MB/sec and above don't hurt.
Then use 4TB drives for data, cheap large and still fast and outstanding.
APPLE HAS NEVER UPDATED THE DRIVE COMPATIBILITY SPECS when new drives become available, leading people to mistakenly think or ask and wonder "can my Mac use drives larger than ______ (where 750GB was the largest capacity and was for some odd reason listed as such) instead of something like "SATA II and higher" Where SATA 3.1 (?) is the current version and is backward compatible.
PCIe devices are often listed as "PCIe 2.x" or 3.0 and my Samsung XP941 with Lycom adapter is nice enough to list and state that while it is PCIe 3.0 compliant it also supports and backward compatible with PCIe 1.0 and above. It won't get the same bandwith/performance in PCIe 1.0 - 2.0 but it works perfectly.
The firmware of controllers determine support, and sometimes though less and almost unheard of with standard "rotating spindle" disk drives (NAS and hardware RAID being the exception that makes the rule).
SSD has changed and evolved faster than anything I have ever seen in computer technology and storage specifically. A year seems like a lifetime in evolution. And yet... my old 2006 (turns 9 in August) was discovered to fully support PCIe-SSD like the latest device in the nMP and the XP941. Amazing but I guess Intel knew something when it designed the SkullTrail systems and EFI 1.0 back in 2005. So the latest SSD tech is supported in a 1,1 (thru 5,1) running Leo or higher.
There have been issues with the size and screw holes of 4-8TB drives (and yes you can use those too). And when Apple created Fusion drives for the iMac and had trouble with Windows Boot Camp the changes in formatting using Disk Utility turned into a Windows XP 32-bit problem formatting drives larger than 2.2TB in Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and above. I am still scratching my head over that one. Even as it was documented and confirmed. (And no it does not reflect on 3rd party or only with drives that are not labelled Apple OEM
Others can probably make a shorter more succinct case without the long history and rambling my prose is given to as I wonder around in the cobwebs

How can I use a windows netbook as a wireless hard drive for a Macbook Pro?

I have an old Acer Aspire One netbook sitting around and a 2TB WD hard drive that I use with my Macbook Pro 15" running Mavericks. I was wondering if anyone had an ideas how I could wirelessly access the netbook with the WD external HD attached from the Macbook Pro. Furthermore does anyone have any ideas how I can use the netbook as an airplay client so I can stream my Mac, iPad, or iPhone to my netbook which would be plugged via VGA into a TV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Download and install the airport utility for windows.. it isn't strictly necessary but the bonjour service makes life easier.
The request for username and password is correct. Username is whatever you like.. but windows needs it.. so admin.. being the common router one.. password by default is public unless you changed it.
Now to get the TC to work properly..
1. The names should be SMB compliant.. by default they are wrong.. use short names, no spaces no special characters.. pure alphanumeric. That is for TC name and wireless names.
2. Wireless passwords should also be same use WPA2 private.
3. In the disk sharing page.. manual setup.. put in the windows workgroup name.. ie WORKGROUP.. this helps the discovery process.
4. In the same area, turn on the guest account to read and write.. not necessary but helps with later versions of windows particularly.
5. Access the drive by using the direct IP address. ie in Windows Explorer address bar, \\10.0.1.1 (or whatever IP the TC is at).

Best Windows version and drive for my Mac Pro?

I am looking to purchase an new internal drive for my new mac pro exclusively for the purpose of installing windows and playing pc games via BootCamp. Questions: Which drive will work best for this?(looking for 500GB or less) and which version of Windows will be more reliable and perform best (XPpro, XPhome, Vista) in my system? Thanks!!

Hi:
I just had exactly the same situation- I looked at different hard drives and bought the Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS from Buy.com for about $78.00. Incidentally when you look at the prices of these products , the range is very tight- just $9 get you an additional 140 gigs and the black series is much faster than the SEII series for only a slight increase in cost. The drive is fast and quiet.
I tried using boot camp to install Vista ultimate and got a series of formatting error messages, then pulled out my mac OS drive, installed Vista without any trouble at all, then installed the drivers to be used with the mac pro and boot camp for windows. Works great so far. Then I reinstalled the mac os hard drive and now can boot into windows or mac. The 64 bit version of vista ultimate is very fast on the mac pro (2008 version).
