Installed Win7 64bit but can't install Bootcamp

Hi all,
Just installed Windows 7 64 bit but can't get Bootcamp to install. Downloaded 3.2 (64) update but that requires 3.1. Downloaded 3.1 (64) update but that requires 3.0. 3.0 won't install from the DVD as it doesn't support the 64 bit Windows 7.
Is there a version I can download or do I have to get rid of that install and do it all again using the 32 bit version?

Head to (better yet, copy the contents to a folder)
Navigate to Apple \ Drivers \ Bootcamp64.msi
control click and select Compatibility Mode and choose "Vista"
You just have to force it a little.
May also get a warning from Windows that it isn't compatible or known to cause trouble (true) but install anyway.
AppleHFS feature can be buggy and lead to Bsod.
I keep that renamed and therefore disabled, use Paragon HFS or MacDrive8 instead, commercial but at least they work better.
Apple didn't 'bless' some of us with older EFI32 (trouble booting DVD and other issues) and even mid 2008 iMac had 64-bit ROM and processor at a time when MacBook, MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro all were on the "supported" list for Vista 64-bit, the iMac was not

Really Confused - Installed Win 7, but can't install the Mac OSX drivers

My fruit (MBP) is a early spring 2010 model with a 125 GB solid state HD. I partitioned the disc and installed windows without issue (64 bit). But now when I put the Mac OS X DVD into the drive and use the setup.exe it asks me about reinstalling Mac OS X on my Macbook Air. Granted, this laptop isn't anywhere near the weight of my PC laptop, but this is NO MacBook Air. I put the DVD in before and had it do the setup, but it didn't reboot or anything. I know the driver for the mouse is substandard if this is the appropriate driver for the mouse - it won't right click at all, nor will it scroll, and it's slow to click and quick to move.
I had to reinstall my Mac OS because some files couldn't be moved, and that's why my OS is the .5 version. I was surprised though when it was connected to the internet and didn't ask me to update everything known to man, including itunes, which I can't stand.
Do I need to go back to the Mac OS and install the updates for everything, including bootcamp? Will that allow it to work and recognize that I have a MBP? If so, how do I go back to it? Shut down the computer using windows, and then start it with the power button, and press something when it starts to boot up? If so, what do I press? I figure I could follow the instructions picking a partition to boot from, just need to get there. Thanks.

I let it go through the restarts to install windows and then I was putting in firefox + other minor programs, when I thought it was time to update the Mac side. So I went to the bootcamp icon in the control panel, cuz at that point I didn't know it was in the bottom right corner (thought it was going to be in the quicklaunch part of the taskbar) and selected the Mac OS and pushed restart. So it restarted using windows. And when the Mac OS updated and said it had to restart, it went back to windows. Really strange, but I'll see what happens after I download the second round of Mac updates. I think I'm also going to try the mini software that the other thread suggested.

Are you talking about changing the keyboard layout when you are working in Windows? If so, you need to tell people how you are running it (bootcamp, parallels, other) and whether you have already done stuff like

I want to install Win7 on my new iMac using bootcamp. I got a USB drive for the win7 install-disc, but I don't own a cd for the Mac OS (since it was preinstalled when I got it). I read somewhere that I need a mac OS disc as well?

I need some recomendations plz.

Hello,
you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)

Qosmio F50 - Need to update BIOS in order of installing Win7-64bit

Dear community,
I plan to update to Windows 7 64 bit. My notebook is Toshiba Qosmio F50-10M with a preinstalled VISTA32bit.
Is there a need to update the BIOS prior installing the new OS? I read that there is a BIOS update f?¼r VISTA64bit available but none I discovered for Win7 64bit.
Can you give a clue?
I am confident and glad to own such a powerful notebook but this not completed OS named VISTA is driving me nuts increasingly reading all those nice reports concerning the benefits of Windows7!
Eager to read your welcomed responses
Yours,
Starmind

Thank you for anwering Paolo!
Do I understand the right way? I shouldn´t change BIOS if I don´t encounter any problems?
But I should change the BIOS from 32 to 64 bit if I install the 64bit version of Win7? I intend to do so as I plan to use the full memory of my machine (I use VISTA32 at the moment).
I should change the BIOS prior installing Win7 as I understood as posted earlier?
Thank your for your kind assistance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop. Is there a small fee to be able to do this. Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop. This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again. Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

Hi Loraine,
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
Cheers.
