IMAC i7 radeon hd 5750 update ati driver boot camp

So basically I have a 2010 iMAC i7 with a radeon
HD 5750 graphics card. Now to my question: I've recently installed win 7 proffesional
Using bootcamp and would like to update the ati driver
to which ever is most recent off AMD website, as I assume doing so
may boost video performance in the games I'm currently playing, as opposed to the
Outdated drivers installed via boot camp.
I however am not sure if I need to uninstall the boot camP video drivers
first, or how to go about doing so as I don't see any on list
Of installed programs. I already know the iMac video card is REALLy Radeon Mobility 5850, not hd 5750
as stated by apple, just need to know if I should uninstall my current video driver in windows 7 before trying to install the most recent mobility 5850 drivers from AmD site, if it's even worth it.

How is this problem resolved...I am having the EXACT same problem???

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

Re-try: Partitioned '08 iMac, Win7, Radeon X1600, help with upgrading driver?

I've been trying to use information found on other threads to update my driver but have had no success; my software and cpu are somewhat older than what I've been reading about. So.... I'm going to try this again before taking the thing to the local fixit shop (I don't want to do that...) And hopefully if there's someone in the same jam out there a search will bring them to this thread.
Is there anyone out there that can give me a simple 'do this, do this, do this, and do this' for my particular setup? I've used DriverSweeper prior to attempting installs, and Mobility Modder to get around AMD's Catalyst installer problems re:bootcamp.
I just wanna play my stupid GAMES, wah!

I love my Mac. But I love my Windows-only games.

The first part of your mcelog (the bit about " failed to prefill DIMM database from DMI data") strongly suggest one of the new RAM chips is defective. Start by simply putting the old one back in place and seeing if that helps. If it does, exchange the new faulty one with the seller for one that works. However, since you say yourself you aren't very tech savvy, it may be the case that you've simply purchased a RAM chip that is not compatible with your motherboard (although if both of the new chips are identical and the first one works, that may not be so).
When deciding to upgrade all the most vital hardware components of a machine, it's best to do it one piece at a time, and reconfigure the operating system to account for the new hardware. Uninstall old drivers, install new ones, change any personal settings related to the old hardware, reboot, make sure everything's fine and then repeat the process for every other new piece of hardware. Replacing everything at once without ensuring it will all work together increases the chances problems like this immensely---the problem itself may be very simple, but you've undertaken so many changes in such a short time that finding out what the problem is in the first place can be very complicated.

HT1846 when will the update released for boot camp to install in 3TB drive to install windows 8

I would like to install windows 8 on my 3TB drive since the boot camp is not supported yet for 3 TB only supports upto to 2.2 TB when will be the update released

Apple is not here, just end-users like you. Anyone end-user who does has this knowlege would violating a non-disclosure agreent if he responded.

Windows disc does not update after resizing boot camp partition

When I bought my iMac, it came with a 500 GB HDD. I used bootcamp to make a 200GB windows partition and a 300GB Mac partition. The other day I bought a 250GB SSD, and moved everything from my 300GB Mac partition onto the SSD.
My plan was to use the whole 500GB HDD for windows. So, I deleted the 300GB Mac partition and made it free space on the drive. I then expanded the boot camp partition to take up the whole drive using Mini Tool on windows 7.
Now, windows 7 shows that my drive is 465GB, but when I boot into mac, the bootcamp hard drive still reads 200GB and 300GB are "free space" even though I expanded the drive using Mini Tool.
I tried to fix this by filling up the hard drive with an extra 120 GB so it exceeded the 200GB limit that windows shows. But when I booted back into OSX to see if it had worked, none of the files were showing up in the drive, making me believe that boot camp and OS X are not reading changes I am making to the bootcamp drive when I use Windows.
How can I change this so Disk Utility shows the full size of the disc, like Mini Tool does?
I will try to upload screenshots soon.

Re-sizing Windows partitions is not supported on Bootcamp. It requires a clean install. The other option is using Winclone.
Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions
How can a Windows partition be resized after Windows is installed?
You need to delete the Windows partition using the Boot Camp Assistant, and start over to change the size of the Windows partition. Back up your important Windows files first.

IMac running Windows 7. No trace of Boot Camp to be found. Need Control Panel

I am currently using an iMac which boots directly into Windows 7. I didn't set it up, but back when it had XP, the Boot Camp Control Panel was visble in the taskbar. Now, in Windows 7, there is no trace of Boot Camp anywhere. Nothing in the Windows Control Panel, the taskbar, programs, etc.
I need the Boot Camp Control Panel to adjust the brightness of the display to use a monitor calibrator. The NVIDIA properties has brightness control, but that just mixes grey in to make it "look" brighter without changing the light intensity, the true brightness.
I do not have access to any boot camp disks or OSX/Windows disks, so my options are limited for troubleshooting.
Any advice would be greatly apreciated.

I'm a lousy guesser so you'll have tell us the model/year/OS version of the computer you have.
Can you ask the one who set it up for you?
Do you have an Apple Softrware Updater in Windows?
Unless you have the updater or the control panel there's no way to tell which version if any you have. You can try down loading the different Boot Camp files and see if any work. BUT, they are large files and you have to install them in sequence (depending on which version you have now), 3.1 then 3.2 then 3.3, etc, AND you have to have 3.0 in order to install any of them and it only comes on the 10.6 MacOS installer disk.
Look in the Programs and Features control panel and see if you see any Apple files. Without the 10.6 Disk your out of luck.

New iMac. Partitioning 1Tb w/o reinstalling using Boot Camp?

I'm about to setup my new 27" iMac but would like to partition the drive. I assume I could just put in the install DVD and reboot, use Disk Utility to partition and then go through the restore steps. Personally, I'd to avoid this so I can get to playing asap. Can I just use Boot Camp to partition the drive then "cheat" and use Disk Utility to reformat so it's not a "Boot Camp" partition, per se?
Thanks in advance (and helpful answers within the next 20m WILL get stars )

On the contrary, it makes it somewhat more likely.
Not exactly true. The system partition has multiple writes to it by multiple programs for multiple different reasons. If you are, for example, capturing video, any number of programs may write to the disk at the same time. Though OS X is fairly intelligent with respect to disk use, I have witnessed on multiple occasions where a small file was written right in the middle of multi-gig file (video capture, for example). It's just the reality of the situation. It doesn't mean the OS did anything wrong, it just didn't know how large the final file would be. A second partition has a far lower chance of a random file being written to it while a data dump is being performed.
Plus, it guarantees longer seek times, as accessing one partition, then the other, always requires a certain amount of movement.
True, but a file of sufficient size written contiguously can quickly offset the minute seek times of modern drive heads.
Huh? Rebooting doesn't defrag.
No, but a proper defrag often requires rebooting from a non-system partition to free up all system resources (metadata, etc). iDefrag is a perfect example.
That's rarely true on OSX. Usually the only reason is for multiple boot partitions.
I don't see how you can say this with a straight face. If I see multiple reasons, there are, by definition, multiple reasons. I said nothing about rarity, only that there is more than one reason for multiple partitions.
For future reference, Disk Utility would have worked fine for this purpose.
Thanks for pointing that out. I had completely forgotten that was possible. Wish I knew why.

10.4.11 update messes with Boot Camp beta

I am posting this again as my post is way down another discussion.
I did the update yeterday without knowing about the bug. Now Windows XP won't start up in boot camp. This is really annoying. Mac OS X boots fine.
So. Can I downgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.4.6 without having to reinstall all the other applications? What about Boot Camp? Is this an option I select from the utilities available on the install disk?
What about archive and install? Will that archive all my applications and data so I don't have to do reinstalls?
Otherwise, what if I upgrade to 10.5? Will this fix the problem without me having to redo the whole Windows installation? There is a lot of data, most of it is backed up but still a pain to restore.
I have looked at other responses to this problem but not found the definitive answer.

What if I do upgrade to 10.5 - will that update the system without having to reinstall Win XP etc?

I installed Windows 7 on iMac, it reboot fine.
But after I installed the boot camp 3.0 from Mac OS X 10.6 disc and pressed the restart buttom, the computer restarted and displayed a blue screen before entering the Windows and then reboot again automatically.
Should I use the Windows 7 installation enabler before installing Windows 7?
Thanks

IMac G5 failed 10.5 update - won't boot now, spinning wheel

Please help, I bought my mom an iPad because she broke both ankles and is gonna be bed ridden for several weeks, and needed some way to get email, etc.
She has an iMac g5 2ghz non iSight. The iPad needs to be plugged into iTunes to work the first time, but her iMac had 10.4 on it. Well, iTunes requires 10.5 or higher. So i upgraded it and somewhere in the middle the update failed (I suspect a bad DVD). The computer wanted to restart, and since then, it will not boot, just a gray screen with apple logo, and the forever spinning wheel of frustration. I ran through the 10.5 installer again (this time using a different disk and it seemed to complete, and when it restarted at the end, same thing - spinning wheel, not happy.
So I boot off the OS x install DVD, run disk utilities, repair disk finds no errors, repair permissions says one minute remaining but never finishes, it ran all night long and I finally just gave up and turned it off this morning.
I have come to the conclusion that I will be formatting the HD tonight after work. But I need to get all her pictures, emails, and contact list off that drive first. I figure I'll use my old G4 (10.4 I think?) and put her iMac into target disk mode, and hopefully mount the drive to the G4 with the FireWire cable (I pray this works otherwise... Cry)
My main question, please help me out in locating her address book / contact list. She uses the Mac mail app for email. What files and/or folders do I need to copy so that once I format, I can (hopefully) just copy those folders back to the freshly installed OS 10.5, and theoretically make it seem like nothing happened.
Also, any suggestions anyone can offer me that don't involve formatting would be appreciated... But mostly, just need to figure what I need to backup.
Thanks so much, it's been a very difficult few days, and the added stress of this computer is just no good for the entire situation.

Copy her User (home) folder and Applications folder and you should have everything she needs.

Retina iMac 3tb Fusion drive Boot Camp failure

Trying to install Windows 8.1 to a 1tb Bootcamp partition on 3tb Fusion drive. BCA creates the partition, Windows installer sees it, but requires formatting it, but then it can't install to it. I get an error that it can't create or see the partition. I'm assuming this has to do with BCA creating the partition someplace Windows can't handle it (past the first 2.2tb of the drive).
Here is the info requested in a previous thread.

Updating Windows in Boot Camp

Once Windows is installed in a bootcamp partition, how should I install updates to the drivers? Is using Windows update a safe bet, or should I just stick to the bootcamp drivers? In specific, I'm reffering to updates to things like the graphics driver (which shows as an optional update in Windows update).

It is safe and they are better than what Apple provides.
Drivers can be rolled back, uninstalled and you have more freedom than OS X gives you. Some people experiment with different graphic driver versions.

Help...parallels/hard drive/boot camp

Help, I have been trying to install parallels and needed to re-boot my computer, re-install start-up disks etc. It used almost all of my available hard drive space. Is there a way to wipe out the hard drive to "out of the box status" as you can do with a pc? Then I can re-install just the programs I need. I have things backed up to time machine as well as an external disk.

Your system info confirms you have a MacBook. Therefore, you need to repost over in the MacBook Forums.
This area is for G5 iMac (non Intel) issues.

Can I install Windows on my iMac 27, 3TB Fusion Drive, late-2012 with Boot Camp 5?

Hello. When I first opened the Boot Camp Assistant app, it said it could not work with the 3TB fusion drive. With the updated version of Boot Camp, the option to install Windows appeared. I tried to install Windows 8, but the loading bar stopped moving. I waited for hours, but it still did not move. I decided to quit the app, and re-open it, in order to try again. It crashed, and would not open. So I restarted my system and when I did that I noticed that I had about 1GB or so left of storage. This shocked me, because the disk was just suddenly filled for some reason. In hopes of fixing this I used an app called 'CleanMyMac' to try and recover the disk space. And as I thought the disk space returned to normal. However when I went to Disk Utility and clicked 'repair disk' it said this...
There is only 1 partition, so the Boot Camp process did fail.
I don't know whats wrong with my system though? I would like to install Windows, but I'm worried that I might recieve errors again. I have not got Apple Care, but I'm playing on buying it soon, due to it being almost a year since I bought the system.
Maybe I did something wrong when trying to install Windows with Boot Camp? I don't know, but if possible can someone please tell me if I can install Windows and if something is wrong with my system.
Here is some additional screen shots of the type of system I have.
Thank you for your help with this issue!

Which copy or version of Windows? and how where was it purchased?
my window installed itself perfectly on another computer.
One copy and you want to activate on two computers?
With 16GB, it will try to create 16GB hibernation file, 24GB page file, and need 20-30GB for the OS, plus room for temp, cache, applications, 9GB just temp to install SP1 update(s).
did you create 80GB or larger partition?
also, some macs with ssd + hard drive have issues, and of course you need Windows 7 64-bit home premium (Pro to use more).
OWC has up to 32GB, not cheap.
