Sounds like you did not download and then install the Windows support/driver software. It is one of the first items in the Boot Camp menu when you start Boot Camp Assistant.

How to Install Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro with Retina Display Using Boot Camp?

Hello,
I own a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and was wondering how do I install Windows 8.1 without an optical disc drive? I have bought the full version of Windows 8.1 and would like to partition it on my MacBook Pro. Could someone please help me out by posting step-by-step procedure or a video on how to do it? It is my first time partitioning the Windows operating system and would like to clarify with the community on this before I install it.
Thanks in advance for those who have helped!

Windows 8.1 is not yet supported by Boot Camp. The best way currently to install Windows 8.1 is to use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Installation instructions are on the Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox site.

Installing windows 7 on a macbook pro with retina display

Hi All -
I just purchased a new macbook pro with retina display and I want to install a copy of windows 7 on this machine. I've gone through numersous postings online about the proper way to do this - and I had a few questions as it is a little confusing.
What I have:
15" macbookpro with retina display
External superdrive
Physical copy of windows 7 64 bit
a burned image of the windows 7 disk (as a .CDR file)
Several postings have indicated that I need a flash drive; is this the case if I have the actual disk and the superdrive I can use for reading it?
If not and I do in fact need a flash drive - I have an 8gb with encryption software on it - if I need to make an autoboot for the windows .cdr is there a special way to do this or will the .cdr image work as it is?
I appreciate any help provided.
Thank you
Lenny

Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...

How to install Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro 2011

Well I bought a new MacBook Pro and I have constantly been trying to install Boot Camp.
When I open Boot Camp it shows me the Introduction, then it asks me if I would like to install the Lastest Windows Supports Software From Apple, and if I would like to Install Windows 7. I tick both boxes and then another page opens.
It asks me if I would like to install it to a DVD or CD, or if I would like to install it to an external hard drive. Now, I have tried both of these, and they both show a page asking me how much space I would like to be Mac space, and Windows space. After I've chosen how much I would like, I click install. After about 30 seconds, a message pops up saying the installer disk could not be found, please insert the installer disk and wait a few seconds, and the click install again.
I have done this many times, and that same message pops up. Please, if any of you people out there have the solution for me it would be gratefully apreciated.
Thanks.

No, it doesn't. You have to purchase the Windows 7 installer. Windows is not included with the computer. Did you discuss the matter with someone when you bought your computer? If you did they should have told you that you would need to buy Windows 7. If you had asked while you were purchasing the computer then you could have paid for Windows at the time and had it installed for you.

Boot Camp help on MacBook Pro with no DVD drive

I purchased a 2010 15" Pro from a friend that just ordered a new Mac. He removed the CD and installed a 128 SSD as the primary drive and used a DVD shell kit that now houses the 2.5 SATA drive as the 2nd drive.
I want to load Win 7 using Boot Camp but I am running into a problem. I have downloaded all of my drivers and have a USB DVD attached. I get as far as installing windows in the Boot Camp setup, the Mac reboots to install 7 but when it reboots I get a flashing icon at startup the switches between an 'X', an 'apple' logo and the 'NO' symbol (circle with a slash).
How do you load windows with no DVD?
I made a bootable USB from my 7 ISO but that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestion?
Mike P

ISO issue: burn to DVD has to use another program or if you use Disk Utility use the slowest 2x burn speed
A driver is provided in download for MacBook Air models that lack a DVD.
Swap the superdrive back for the install is what 98% finally bit the bullet and works.
There is also an issue with having two drives present during Windows install.
So you need a USB-DVD driver on USB flash for those Macs that do not have a DVD (no one uses CDs)

Also search this forum for instructions.
Also run Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions.
You will need to invest in an external dvd drive if you have Windows on a dvd. A usb stick can be used if you are downloading Windows. You will also need to save the Windows Support software to the usb stick. Read the help files.

Is CS6 compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

I have CS4 and just installed it to my new MacBook Pro with Retina display and was upset to see that they don't configure. All of my application are blurry and pixelated. I am currently debating on downgrading to an older MacBook Pro without retina or trying to buy CS6. I can not afford Creative Cloud. I want to make sure that CS6 will work on my retina computer before making that investment. Does anyone have experience using CS6 on a new retina display?

The update for a Mac retina display requires a subscription to InDesign CC. It is not and will not be available for InDesign CS6, which will not be getting significant updates.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Installing Windows XP on a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina display and need to install Windows XP on it so that I may run 3 Windows programs. I have watched a few videos on the internet on how to do this through Boot Camp Assistant, and it says at one point to use the driver CD from Mac to install the drivers. I did not get any CD's with my new MacBook Pro. I also saw on some of these boards that said Boot Camp does not support Windows XP. The people at the Apple store said it can run Windows XP, so I have ordered an original version.
Question 1. Does my MacBook Pro with Retina Display running OS X version 10.8.3 able to run Windows XP?
Question 2. How do I install the drivers?

Would this work? And also, what is the VM I need? Where do I get it?

Installing Windows 7 Ultimate Edition on a Late 2013 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. (Top Spec)

All,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate Edition on my Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I am using the .iso file/USB stick method of installation because I don't have access to my original Windows 7 DVD. I have the top specification model with all of the max upgrades. The problem I am having is when I get to actual installation of the Windows 7 software, it can't find the drivers I need to complete the installation. Any tips or suggestions?

I thought about doing what you said above, but unfortunately, I didn't have any spare blank DVD's. However, I was able to sucessfully install Windows & on my Mac. What I did was when I got to the error message, I would cancel the installation and that would return me back to the install now window. At that point, I would take out the flash drive and put it into another USB port. It took a few times, but eventually it recognized the drivers and allowed me to install the software. Remember, once you get past that point, the installation will ask you to choose a drive to install Windows on. Highlight the Boot Camp drive and chose "advanced", and then chose "format" after that. After all of this, it should be smooth sailing.

Windows 7

Windows 7
Windows 8 is only beta, but can be run in VirtualBox
Only Windows 7 is supported by Apple in Bootcamp at this time, however you can install Windows 8 Beta into virtual machine software.

GTA 4 on windows 7 BOOT camp texture problem, macbook pro 13 january 2011 help .

my problem looks like this

gta 4 steam !

If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
Just follow the steps:
Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
Right click the file and select Properties
Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
(remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
It should look something like this:
Make sure to add space between " and -"
I hope This helps, although late cx
