Installing Bootcamp 3.0 drivers

Could anyone explain why I'm getting the message "Bootcamp x64 cannot run on this computer and model" when I'm running x64 Windows 7 on a x64 Macbook?

I have a 2006+ Mac Pro and I get The Same Error. I've been running Windoze Vista Ultimate x64 since it came out without issue. I was hoping to finally get the apple drivers and the ability to change startup disks from inside the OS (currently I need to keep an extra Apple keyboard around to hold down the option key to change OS at boot).
I have a question in to Apple support to ask if there is a way to forceably bypass the "not Supported" issue...

  • Install Bootcamp 3.0 drivers on MBA w/o SuperDrive

    Hello,
    I am trying to install the Boot Camp 3.0 drivers from SL on Vista loaded on my MacBook Air. Unfortunately, I don't have a SuperDrive. I attempted to create an iso image of SL using Disk Utility, but get an error saying that the "disk" is corrupt. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    You can always pick up a superdrive on eBay for about $50.

  • No Sound after Bootcamp 3.0 drivers

    Just installed Bootcamp 3.0 drivers from the Snow Leopard disk, and now have no sound.
    During the install process there were lots of references to Sigmatel, which is what I think the driver used to be, but in Deice Manager the sound driver is now IDT which also has a menu bar icon bottom right.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have "solved" this by installing just the Bootcamp 2.1 sound driver from here:
    http://files.geoffgarside.co.uk/bootcamp/Drivers/IDT%20SigmaTel/
    The original problem is that with 3.0 there was no sound from the internal speakers on my MBP...only from the headphone jack where the optical output red light also showed. I could not find anyway of making it play through the speakers.
    Would still be grateful for any proper resolution of how to make the BC 3 sound driver work.
    Thanks

  • Installing old wireless keyboard drivers on a new bootcamp?

    I wanted to share an experience of keyboard problems with windows 7 and bootcamp, and then ask a question about bootcamp on my soon-to-arrive shiny new iMac.
    Current machine: Core 2 duo 24" iMac mid 2007; Mavericks; bootcamp created with version 3.0, but then upgraded for Windows 7
    Yesterday did an upgrade install from Vista to Windows 7 and installed the latest bootcamp version 4 drivers.  (this was a 32 bit not 64 bit setup - since the Vista I upgraded from was 32 bit).
    I then had driver problems with my 2007 vintage wireless keyboard...  The keyboard would work for a moment or two, but then stop.  It was still paired, but nothing you typed showed up in Windows.  (It worked fine in OSX of course...)
    Eventually after huge amounts of googling some page gave me the idea of changing the driver for the keyboard.
    If you go to Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Human interface devices -> Apple Keyboard then right click and select "Update Driver Software",  then select "Browse my computer", then select "Let me pick", you get a list of all the driver versions that have ever been installed on your computer for that peripheral.  Because I had started out with a Bootcamp 3 installation, which I'd then updated, the version 3.0.0.0 apple keyboard driver was still in the list of available drivers.  Selected that, and bingo, the keyboard worked perfectly. 
    Only issue is, I've just bought a nice new iMac (arrives next week) and I can't see how I can get the version 3 keyboard driver onto it's boot camp.  I want to set boot camp up from scratch, so that I can have 64 bit windows running.  But if I do that Boot Camp Assistant 5 will install the very latest drivers, presumably including an apple keyboard driver that doesn't like my old wireless keyboard.  And while the bootcamp 4 and subsequent driver sets include separate .exe files for different things (including the keyboard), the 3.x drivers were just a single executable.  And if you try to run it on top of a more recent set of drivers, it just tells you it isn't needed and stops.
    Question: Any idea how I can install the 3.0.0.0 keyboard driver on a brand new iMac with Bootcamp 5.0 set up? 
    (For various reasons I've ordered my new mac with the wired keyboard, but I might still sometimes want to use it with my old wireless one).

    It depends on which version of LP9 you own.....
    If you don't already own an earlier version you cannot buy Logic Pro 9 any longer from Apple.. It is discontinued....
    If you do own an earlier version then...
    App Store version? Just sign into the Mac App Store... using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic in the first place...and Logic Pro 9 will be found under the Purchase Tab for you to click on and download..
    DVD Version? Install via DVDs .... If you don't have a DVD player in your Mac you will need to purchase an external one.... or use another Mac which has a DVD drive using Remote Disk
    DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc
    Install....
    Do not run Logic but instead....
    Update to 9.1.8 via this link....
    Logic Pro 9.1.8
    Now launch Logic....

  • I can't install bootcamp drivers on my Windows 7 partition.

    As of now I am trying to run 32 Bit Windows 7 on my mid 2011 13 inch Mac Book Air.  I downloaded my version of Windows from Onthehub.com and went thru the process of coverting it to an ISO file, putting it on a flash drive, downloading the support software, partitioning my hardrive thru bootcamp and installing the software.  After figuring out how to select the hard drive partition I wanted to boot into I created my user account and began going thru the process of trying to install the drivers.  The first round of drivers I tried to install were Bootcamp 5.1 drivers which were geared for 64 bit Windows 7, and did not work.  After surfing the support forums I then downloaded Bootcamp 4 and tried to install those drivers instead. The bootcamp setup driver currently does not want to load for me.  I have tried removing my admin privileges and reinstalling the Bootcamp 4 zip file--seperate events--but have met the same message: This software is not intended for this computer.  Based on my research the macbook air I have should be able to run 32 bit Windows 7 and Bootcamp 4.  Everything else about running this operating system has gone off without a hitch, but not being able to use my track pad to right click or my volume buttons is pretty inconvenient.  Anything obvious that I've missed, I'm a music teacher by trade so its more than likely that I missed something obvious... like asking the computer nicely... thanks folks! 

    if you are not going to be playing advanced 3d games ditch bootcamp and install your 32bit version of windows in virtualbox or another of the virtualmachines then it will work and if you use timemachine for backup it will include a backup of your windows which it dont do when you use bootcamp

  • Partition not big enough to install bootcamp drivers (installed windows 7)

    I installed bootcamp, partitioned a drive to 6GB (thought it was 16GB)
    installed windows 7 pro and went to install the bootcamp drivers so I can switch back to Snow Leopard and it won't let me install the drivers because the partition is so low on space. I don't have any other application on the windows 7 partition as i just installed it. I even tried to create room by deleting the sample photos, music and videos, which got me to a point where i could start the installation then it stopped cause it got too full again.
    How do i get my mac back to snow leopard? OR how do i make my partition larger so I can install the bootcamp drivers?
    HELP!

    Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition. Use Disk Utility to erase free space.
    For Win 7 and others you need to be considering a much larger partition size. I would recommend a minimum of 30-40GB. It depends on what you need Windows for. But my needs are such that several hundred GB are usual for my Boot Camp partitions.
    Remember that just like Mac OS X, Windows needs free space for paging files and behind the scenes workspace.

  • How to install bootcamp drivers on Windows 8?

    Hello,
    Today I decided to install Windows 8 onto my Mac Pro running 10.8.5 in order to play games on Steam.  I started BootCamp assistant and made a 65GB partition for Windows 8, and when I tried to install Windows I unchecked the top box (not sure what it said now).  Now I have a Windows computer, I CANNOT get back to OS X.  The Mac Pro will not boot into OS X, it just goes straight to Windows every time.  I've read that there should be some place in Windows to switch back, but I cannot find it.  I tried holding down the option key upon boot up at the gray screen, it still goes straight to Windows.  I tried holding command R at the boot up screen, it goes straight to Windows.  HELP!!  I picked the 60.5GB partition to install on, could it have somehow erased my OS X partition?  Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers from Windows?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jared

  • I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033, installed window 32 bit but can't install the drivers for some reason i keep getting error message. i have a macbook pro mid 2011 version. Please help

    I installed bootcamp 4.0 4033 so that I can install windows 7 32 bit on my mac.  Everything works fine until I try to install the drivers and I get an error message stating the version of windows does not work with the drivers I am trying to install.  I have a feeling somehow I am downloading 64 bit drivers when I need 32 bit.  I spoke to Apple and they said I can't use 32 bit windows.. but that is not what the support site says (it says I can as long as I use bootcamp 4, not 5).  Also, my bootcamp assistant is version 5.. I have no idea if that matters.  Help please.. been searching online for hours.

  • Mac mini 2010, can't install bootcamp drivers

    My brother's computer (mid 2010 Macmini) has previously been partioned with a Windows 7 32 bit system. Under bootcamp 4 we could install Windows 7 32 bit system, plus drivers and it was used for playing games on Steam. The partition was removed so it could be increased and in the process updated the Apple side software to 10.8.5, which installed bootcamp 5.
    Bootcamp 5 won't use our 32 bit install disk, so we went through the process of getting a 64 bit install disk and it installed without a problem. Now the drivers on the PC side as downloded by Bootcamp 5 won't work. I get the error message "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". So my next step was to download the bootcamp 4 drivers and they also do not work. I get the error message "this version of bootcamp is not intended for this computer model". I have had a look around and can't find anyone with the exact same issue.
    Also the "troubleshoot capatability" fix doesn't work I have tried it. Can anyone help?

    Since Vista needs its system partition to be NTFS, you can read files from while in Mac OSX, but can't write to NTFS without additional help.
    Either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ enable OSX to write to NTFS partitions.
    The access your Mac OSX from Vista you can use MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/
    Or use an external harddisk with the FAT32 file system, since Mac OSX and Vista can read and write to/from FAT32.
    But note that FAT32 has a built-in single-file size limitation of about 4GB.
    Thanks again, Paul.

  • Installing Bootcamp Drivers on Macbook Air?

    When I installed Bootcamp this morning after the seventieth problem had been solved, I finally hit ANOTHER roadblock. Since the MacBook Air doesn't have a DVD drive, I need to use my Superdrive to insert discs and stuff. Now, all my drivers that I need to run windows are on a disc, which I cannot run on my Air without the superdrive. What's the problem? It turns out Windows doesn't understand what the superdrive is, because it needs the driver FOR the superdrive, which, ironically, is on the disc which I cannot play without the superdrive.
    I can't get the drivers online, because you need a driver to access the wifi. I tried moving them over from another computer, but I still need wifi to install them properly. Is there any way that I can work around this problem? I'm so sick and tired of problems cropping up with this.

    you have the option to put drivers on flash memory
    you may use USB-DVD or other
    Blame it on the FAQ leaving out steps? not mentioning trouble if you try to burn ISO to DVD with Disk Utility...
    ... but you really should not have that must trouble if you print out hopefully the pdf guide from Boot Camp Assistant.
    Yes, it could let you download the drivers from within Windows (use Software Update from Apple?)
    Most (90%+) are here:

  • Trouble installing bootcamp drivers in Windows XP

    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and I installed Windows XP Professional SP3 on my Mac just fine but according to the Bootcamp Assistant Guide, it says while in Windows insert your Mac OS X disc to install bootcamp driver by selecting setup.exe from the bootcamp directory.  First, I don't see a bootcamp directory but I did do a search and a file called setup.exe did appear. However, it then ask how I want to open the file and give option such as Internet Explorer, etc. Then I realized that although I have a gateway modem/wireless router at home that my Macbook Pro can be wire connected to and I'm alway connected to wirelessly when I'm in the Mac OS X, when I'm in the Windows XP, it doesn't recognize that I'm connect to a modem or that my Macbook Pro has internet connection in WIndows XP.  As soon as I restart under MAC OSX everything comes back and I can either be connected wired or wireless.
    So bascially I have a few issues going on. First clarity on how to get to the setup.exe from the bootcamp directory while in Windows XP and figuring out how to connect my current gateway modem/wireless router to my Macbook Pro while I'm in Windows XP on it.
    Please can anyone help me out?

    Hi Wilde,
    Apple recommends to only use the BootCamp Drivers they provide.
    However you can tryout these Nvidia driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforcenotebook_winxp_185.85whql.html
    Make sure to make a backup of your Windows before installing them.
    Or at least make a System Restore Point.
    Some people use DriverSweeper http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ to remove the 'old' drivers prior to installing the new ones.
    Take care

  • How to install bootcamp drivers without installation disk?

    iam using my friends macbook (intel core2Duo 1.83 GHZ, 80GB, 1GB DDRII, 12"", white colour)Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed, and i hav'nt installtion disk, and i want to install windows on it, but how will i be able to install bootcamp drivers as i have'nt installtion disc.

    Look as a part of right click-2fingers at a same time you should press on the touchpad.
    and check your macbook,the slot where you put the speakers wire if the drivers are not install then a red light will come from it and if not then it means that the drivers are all install.
    and try to install the drivers from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp
    Hope your problem get resolved.

  • Problems after installing Bootcamp 3.1

    Hello everyone.
    I had installed Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate in a Bootcamp partition. I used the SL disk to install Bootcamp 3.0 which, with some audio related problems which were solved by changing the drivers, worked well. All sounds played, the graphics card behaved normally, etc.
    Recently I got the alert of a Bootcamp update, 3.1, as we all know. After installing it without a hitch, small problems began to pop up.
    First, no Windows startup sound played anymore, and there has been no way for me to make it work again. I've gone to countless forums and gone through an endless barrage of suggestions, including a complete formatting, but it always leads back to the same, isolated problem: Startup sound plays in BT 3.0, doesn't play anymore in BT 3.1.
    But more importantly, after pretty much giving up with the startup sound issue (it's only that particular sound, in the login screen, so I decided to ignore it's absence), more problems appeared. Initially, all system tray icons appeared swiftly. Now the main ones, Sound, Wireless Connection and Battery appear fast, but the rest take at least 5 minutes to appear. This is again something that wasn't present in Bootcamp 3.0.
    Yet another problem, this one I consider is the most important, and the real reason for this post of mine, is that Bootcamp 3.1 brought a serious driver problem with my Macbook Pro's 9400M video card. Doing the most stupid of tasks such as opening the video card's control panel from the Desktop gives me the following error:
    "The NVIDIA Display Panel extension cannot be created.
    Possible reasons include:
    Version mismatch. Reinstalling the drivers may solve this problem."
    Now, the Device Manager shows no errors in hardware-driver smoothness in any aspect, yet it's clear that the driver that BT 3.1 installs for the video card was either faulty or old, or for another OS. I went to NVIDIA's site to manually get the driver, but it turns out that they offer no NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 64 bit. So I wonder, how come it worked before? Because in Bootcamp 3.0 the Control Panel would open flawlessly.
    So this is serious. Gaming has also turned into a nightmare, since the problem with the video card negatively affects the smoothness of the gameplay. Apple, things weren't working 100% with BT 3.0, but BT 3.1 far from making things better just got everything worse.
    I ask everyone here if there is a known solution. Should I install the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M drivers for Windows 7 32 bit? Why doesn't the driver installed by BT 3.1 function as it should when it's supposed to be covering Windows 7 compatibility? Why are the barrage of audio errors present in BT 3.1 and not in BT 3.0? What happened with my startup sound?
    Apple, you're offering the possibility for your users to user Windows for compatibility and gaming. You market your Macs are fully compatible and flawless even running Windows. Don't come about saying this is not your problem, it is. It's your drivers, you develop them, you give them to us. If they don't work, you must do something about it. If not, then stop offering the Bootcamp service completely. If you're gonna do something, do it well.

  • CD Boot: memory overflow error! Trying to install Bootcamp / Windows 7 on MacBook Pro 2009 with external superdrive

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my machine.
    I was running Parallels before but need Bootcamp in order to run heavy software on the PC side (e.g. Rhino/Maxwell/etc).
    I have a Macbook Pro 17" from around 2009, running Mountain Lion 10.7.3. 
    Problem is, my internal CD Drive is broken and doesn't read discs, so it couldn't read the Windows installation disc (Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit - OEM System Builder Pack).
    So, I rang Apple to try to fix it and they said it would be cheaper and faster to buy an external SuperDrive.
    I explained that I wanted it to install bootcamp and they said, fine.
    However when I bought the SuperDrive, it turns out its only supposed to be working with new Macbook Pro with Retina display, and other machines that don't have internal cd drives.
    At first it didnt work, but then I found a helpful website which enabled it to work on my machine.
    So I went ahead and started installing Windows through the BootCamp Assistant.
    It partitioned my hard drive - success!
    But then it turned into black screen, with message saying "CDBOOT: Memory overfloor error"
    Help please!!!
    I suspect the problem is either:
    a) Old Macbook Pro can't boot from the Windows disk
    or
    b) The Windows OEM version is somehow not designed to work with Mac. I bought it secondhand off a guy, thinking it was the full version, silly thing to do!
    Your thoughts and help is seriously appreciated!
    Tomorrow I'm going to the Apple Store and also to buy a brand new copy of Windows, I guess.

    This has been resolved. It turned out that in spite of the message at the end of installation - "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation" Windows was installed successfully but the problem was the Bootcamp drivers, it could not read them(install them) from my original OSX Istall DVD and I thought that that the whole package was not installed successfully. I will copy the intructions here as well since this thread may attract lots of other people with similar problem who may think it was not a good installation. Here you go:
    Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
    Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
    Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
    Select Run as Administrator
    Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
    Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
    Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
    If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
    Click on Start
    Enter cmd in the search box
    Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
    Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
    If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

  • Unable to install BootCamp 3.1 on Windows 7

    Hello, I have had a MacBook for a long time now, it is an IntelCore2Duo. I have recently installed Windows 7 and the CD with the drivers included with the laptop only works for XP. I downloaded BootCamp 3.1 which, in theory, works with Windows' new OS, but it asks me to install BootCamp 3.0 beforehand to update it to 3.1. The problem is that I haven't been able to find the 3.0 version anywhere. My question is: how can I update the drivers? I am only interested in the keyboard and mouse compatibility, the rest of the drivers are already installed by windows without a problem. And if I am forced to use BootCamp, where can I find the 3.0?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    the BootCamp Drivers 3.0 are on the OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    Since your signature states "OSX 10.6.4" I assume that you have such one 'lying around'.
    Just insert the DVD while in WIndows and the Driver setup should start automatically.
    The 3.1 Driver download is indeed an update only and only works when the 3.0 Drivers are already installed.
    Regards
    Stefan
