I can't find Bootcamp on Leopard?!

It's supposed to come with Leopard, right? I have the latest version 10.5.3 and I can't find it anywhere, it's like it doesn't exist. What happened?
Also, I'm terrified to actually use it, is it really that hard? I just want to play some of the new PC games that have come out recently (and eventually, Warhammer Online)

You access /BootCamp when you are in Windows, it is a hidden directory and has Apple setup.exe to install support services and drivers.
BootCamp Assistant is in Utilities folder and is used to partition your boot drive normally and to allow windows to install.

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
When you launch the BootCamp Assistant, take advantage of saving the pdf manual and either printing it out or reading through the 20 some pages.
The 2008 MacBook Pro supports XP and Vista 32-bit and 64-bit.

I can't find my snow leopard disc, How do i format my macbook pro without it?

I can't find my snow leopard disc, How do i format my macbook pro without it?

Call AppleCare (1-1800-APL-CARE) and give then the serial number. They will send you a new copy of the two disks for shippingand handling of $16 each (I think $16 each).

I dont have my leopard disk, where can i find bootcamp drivers for vista?

i just bought a used macbook pro. the man i bought it from didnt have his leopard disk. i installed vista 32 last night succesfuly but none of the features work because i dont have the leopard disk to download the oppropriate drivers. does anybody know where i can download the bootcamp drivers for vista 32 without having to buy the leopard disk?

Hopefully, he gave you a $130 discount off the price, since you're going to have to buy a new Leopard disk. You should never have a machine without a system disk for it, since you'd be unable to recover without one if something went wrong. I don't know if you'll need it for those bootcamp drivers, but you will need it sooner or later.
(Technically, what he did is illegal... if he didn't give you the disk, he should not have given you a machine with the system installed. You're also in a bad legal position, by using a system that you do not own a copy of.)

Can't find Bootcamp 3.0 Drivers

I just bought Snow Leopard yesterday, and have been trying to clean install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7.
I have since gotten Snow Leopard set up how I like it, and have gotten Windows 7 installed.
My problem: I can't find the Bootcamp drivers for Windows 7.
I thought they would be on the Snow Leopard disk, but when I inserted it, it didn't come up with a driver installation option.
I get these options: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1683/captureha.png
Where/how do I get the bootcamp drivers?

I think I figured it out.
I installed 64bit Windows 7, and that's maybe why it wasn't in the menu.
I looked around in the disk (while on windows) and found 64bit stuff, but it was a bit confusing to install so I'm just reinstalling 32bit windows

Can't Find Bootcamp

So I have an older G5 computer that I now have Leopard, and I can't find boot camp. It's not in the utilities folder, I have just one disc that came with the OS and the file that I found to locate says it's for disc 1, and that doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't use Boot Camp with a G5 anyway, only Intel machines can use it.

Can't Upgrade Bootcamp With Leopard Install Disc

Hi Everyone,
I just installed Leopard and wanted to upgrade my Bootcamp partition. However, when I start up in Windows and then try to install the new version, all it does is hang at Marvell Ethernet (which is the first driver to be installed). Now, one thing may be the problem--the drive that I am currently using to start my Mac-let's call it Drive 2, is not the same drive that Bootcamp is installed on, which is Drive 1. I wouldn't see how that could be a problem because I'm starting up in Windows, not from the Mac. Anyway, any suggestions? Thanks.

That isn't the original install disc as the one that came with the computer would be Grey in color, a very drab looking disc, however, if that was purchased from Apple and not a copy of another disc with just a label stuck on it, it should work. However, if the disc were damaged then you would have the same problem you are having. I would try to see if you can get another disc and try that (If you know someone that might have one). If that doesn't work, then take it to a Genius Bar and have them look at it, they may be able to help you out.

Where can I find the snow leopard upgrade. I am currently running leopard 10.5.8

I have been searching through the apple store to upgrade my current os - 10.5.8? To upgrade to lion, it appears I need to have snow leopard 10.6. However, I cannot find the upgrade in the apple store.

Start by checking if you cn run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

Can't find Bootcamp at power on.

I have a MacBook Pro. I had it configured for dual boot via bootcamp with windows 7 and OSX Mavericks. There was a problem and I had to reinstall OSX. Now the Bootcamp partition still exists but is not available when I hold the option key and power up the machine. Any ideas?

You won't find them until you are in Windows.
Helps to read even print the guide.
If you have auto run enabled, which is a security risk, the Apple setup.exe will run.
Otherwise, just run that.
Either use your OS X DVD, or use the drivers downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant.
Two different ways to get them.

"Safari Can't Find the Server" is chronic in Safari under Snow Leopard...

Since moving to Snow Leopard (or perhaps it is just an updated Safari in SL and otherwise not related to SL??) when my Mac starts up from sleep with Safari being already open, I typically find a blank message with "Safari Can't Find the Server"... And just clicking on pages, I sometimes get that same message. Sometimes I get the spinning gear (for way too long) and I've learned to stop it and just click the same link again and more often than not, it opens immediately the second time...
Any ideas??? Is this a bug that Apple needs to fix or do I need to do something to Safari (or something else) to fix this problem???
thanks... bob...

Whoa... Now I'm really confused... When I go to my System Preferences, then Network, highlight Airport, then click on Advanced, then choose the DNS tab, all I see under DNS Servers is the internal IP address of my Apple Router (10.x.x.x).. And next to that under Search Domains is hsd1.ca.comcast.net... And that is all there is... And I didn't set any of that up... When I bought my Apple Extreme Router a couple years ago, I was so impressed because I came home, plugged it in, basically said "GO" and the router set it all up and just worked... And I'm pretty sure (though not positive) that the Router put the 10.x.x.x in that preference panel, in other words, pointed to itself for DNS services...
This is effectively saying that the DNS configured in the router will be the default.
So help me understand... If I change the DNS settings on the mac from 10.x.x.x to the OpenDNS values, the router would still have the Comcast values in it??? How does that work??? And if I only change them on my mac, then the rest of the computers on my home network would still be using the original Comcast DNS servers as established on the router, yes??? I mean I think that would have to be...
If you change your Mac, that is what it will use. Other computers will use whatever
they are configured to use.
See my confusion??? Again, I know only enough about Network settings to know that if I click a wrong button I could make a lot of trouble... So I don't move until I understand what at least a little more than clearly I know now...
So how do local (mac) settings for DNS play (or not) with DNS settings up at the router level???
The local settings should override anything else since that is what will
be used first. They have no interaction with what is at the router level.
thanks... bob..

Can't find mails anymore after update from Tiger to Leopard

I've just updated my IMac from Tiger to Leopard (OSX 10.5.6).
After opening the Mail program I just see the menu bar (no window for the postbox).
When I open the postbox via the menu bar, the box is just empty. Are my mails gone? Where can I find or restore them?
Thanks for help,
Vanillia

Let's force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
Keep me posted.

Bootcamp Can't Find Drivers for Windows 7

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.6.8. I have a 64 bit version of windows 7 that I want to bootcamp. Bootcamp assistant says it can't find the drivers it needs for windows. Any suggestions?

Use OS X 10.6 DVD for drivers
If you had an ISO of 7 x64 that you burned that can be an issue

How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere, even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
Regards.

Can i install bootcamp on mac mini snow leopard server 2010

hello,there are 2 harddisks on a mac mini server 2010 (snow leopard server.)i want to use the other hdd for installing Windows home server 2011 x64 .
but there is no bootcamp on the server.(do i have to download it?)
how can i do this,or do i have to use parallels desktop.
i have also a mac mini and a macbook pro and an alienware and a clevo laptop so i want the 2 servers seperate(and the mac-server on all the time)

You would need to install SL (non sever) on you Mac Mini Server.
You may be able to install the nonsever version on your 2nd HDD
-Partition you 2nd HDD to the max BootCamp Partition
-Install Windows Home Server on the BootCamp Partition (don't know of Windows Server is supported)
So you would have:
hdd1 - SnowLeopard Server
hdd2 - SnowLeopard (non-server) + Bootcamp Partition
Scenario 2:
If you don't have a need for SL Server SW, then wipe out the system and put only the regular SL (non sever) on disk 1. Partition Disk2 for Bootcamp only.
hdd1- SL (non-sever)
hdd2 - Bootcamp
I really don't know if you can copy the Bootcamp app onto SL Server OS to create a Bootcamp partition.
