  • Can't update Boot Camp from 3.1 to 3.2 in Windows 7 (32-bit)

    The update starts to install, then I have to restart to finish updating, but when I do just that and fire up Windows 7 Boot Camp still tells me it's version 3.1. THis happens when I update via Apple Software Update. When I download the installer package it tells me the following: "The function you want to use, is on a network source which is not available." But I downloaded the package! Where else would it be? So until now I am not able to use my Magic Mouse in Windows 7. Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks in advance.

    When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
    Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
    I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
    You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
    Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.

  • Boot Camp Assistant NOT letting me to remove/install windows

    Hi all,
    Some how after an update, the Boot camp HD disapeared from the startup disk utility so I could not boot my Mackbook pro in Windows 7. Then I tried to uninstall Windows 7 using Boot camp assistant but with no luck. Finaly, I decided to erase the Bootcamp HD partition using the Disk utilities and then Enlarge my Mac HD.
    Now, I am trying to install windows 7 again using the Boot camp assistant but I got this dioluge in teh pic attached. As you can see, i cannot select the second option which is install or remove windows 7.
    Any solutions.

    No, not now. Once you used Disk Utility to remove the Windows partition you prevented Boot Camp from managing the drive. You can either repartition the whole drive from scratch or you can purchase Paragon Camptune X 10 and see if it can't help put humpty-dumpty together again.

  • Boot camp not recognize keyboard and mouse when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit

    Hi,
    I have some issue when installing windows 7 pro 64 bit using boot camp. after done partitioning the windows drive and when boot to windows installation process, i've got stuck in the first screen when choosing the language. it seems that the keyboard and mouse are not detected.
    i'm using boot camp ver. 5.0.
    does anyone have similar problem with me?

    I have finally successfully installed Windows 7 x64 on MacBook Air 13.3" (2013) thru Bootcamp.
    Problem:  After Windows 7 install thru BootCamp, I got to the first login screen and not input devices (Mouse, keyboard, USB) worked.   I tried to boot into Windows Safemode, but I received the error  "Windows can not complete installation in Safe Mode".
    Cause:  WIndows 7 does not have native USB 3.0 drivers, included on the install images.
    Resolution:  I downloaded the latest device drivers with thru BootCamp and copied them to the USB Flash Drive that had my bootable Windows 7 x64 install on it.  The second option in BootCamp is "Download Support Media".  This does more than just download drivers.  It creates a file called "autoattended.xml".  This is key as it tells Windows during the install process to use the device drivers that you download.  Otherwise, you need to do it manually, which you can't because you have no mouse or keyboard.
    NOTE:  I had no need of a super drive because I had all the files on one USB flash drive.  Therefore, I don't think it matter which side of the MBA the USB drive was plugged in, as other solutions suggested.

  • Can install Windows 7 Pro, but not Boot Camp drivers

    I have used Boot Camp assistant to install Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and built the USB drive with Boot Camp drivers.
    Installed on a separate drive on my Mac Pro.
    When I install the drivers and reboot, I get an error. Basically Windows says there is an error and it needs to run System Restore in order to roll back to the previous status (ie. remove Boot Camp drivers).
    I am using the latest Boot Camp drivers for a Mac Pro (4,1) and 64 bit Windows.
    I tried downloading the drivers from Apple's website in Windows, unzipped and installed - same issue.
    Windows is not yet registered.... (might that be an issue?)
    Grateful for some ideas. I have previously had Win7 running on this machine, and even Win 8 (which crashed - necessitating a roll back to Win 7 whcih is nicer).
    TIA

    the drivers have a root setup.exe if people have problems with that they can manually navigate to the sub dirs and run the driver installs for the various hardware manually
    the various driver exe install will only install if they detect the hardware is there so it's safe to run installers for say a video card ones computer does not have
    and if one of the driver don't work of the hardware related to it is defect in some way you can identify which one as the restore would happen right over that driver install
    that windows is not registered should not play apart as far as I know

  • I'm trying to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 Enterprise on a 2011 MacBook Pro, but most of the drivers aren't installing correctly.

    Apparently, the only boot camp functions that work are restarting in Mac OSX and double-touch right-clicking, which I got after downloading the BootCamp 3.2 upgrade.
    This means no sound, no Direct3d (though I've installed the Intel drivers manually and that's now working), no keyboard functions, and no internet access by ethernet port or wifi, which means I won't be able to activate Windows and this install will soon die a quiet death.

  • What is the correct boot camp support driver for late 2009 Macbook for windows 8.1

    I have late 2009 Macbook with OS X 10.9.4.  I want to run boot camp for windows 8.1, but unable to due to the fact that it can only run Windows 7.  What is the correct Boot Camp Support Software so that I can run Windows 8.1?

    Thanks for the info, but unfortunately there is no current support software or update for my issue at this time.  I found the information under Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating system.  Hopefully Apple will fix this issue promptly!

  • When trying to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software, error says: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

    I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    You need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.

  • I am working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) with boot camp running Windows 7 pro 64-bit.  Windows crashes quite often now-a-days and I need to get this fixed. I heard that updating boot camp can help.  Currently I am running Version 3.0.4 (322).

    I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

    Typing the body of the thread message in the title, huh? -)

    Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
    Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out.  --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
    You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
    I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

    Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
    Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
    How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
    The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
    Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
    Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
    Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
    Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
    When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
    Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
    How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
    Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
    Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
    Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
    If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
    If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
    Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
    Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.
    Which versions of Windows are supported with Boot Camp 5?
    64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7 are supported using the Boot Camp 5 Support Software. If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp.

  • How to update Boot Camp 5

    I installed Windows 8 last month with the previous version of Boot Camp.
    Now that Bootcamp 5 is out, I want to update Boot Camp but I do not understand how. I've downloaded the files from Apple's website, put them on a FAT formated USB drive, and clicked the setup.exe file within the Bootcamp folder. I get the follwing message: "This app can't run on your PC. To find a different version for your PC, check with the software publisher."
    Is there a way to update Boot Camp for my Windows 8? Or must I reinstall Windows 8 with Boot Camp already updated? Can I simply download the Bootcamp files to my desktop and open them from there? What's the need for the USB?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

    i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

    Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
    The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
    (there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
    The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
    Hope it work now mate!
