Installing Bootcamp update AFTER Windows 7?

Hep!
I successfully installed Windows 7 32 bit (upgraded from Vista) on my iMac a few months ago, obviously without full Bootcamp functionality but it works fine for my purposes. I thought I would be able to simply load Bootcamp 3.0/3.1 when they came out. I downloaded Bootcamp 3.0 into Windows7, but it won't start up.
Do I have any options other than going back to Vista and staring all over again?

And Troubleshoot Compatibility mode for any/all installers will allow the Apple drivers to install on Windows 7 on your 2006-7 Mac Pro.

Apple has put road blocks up with their variation of EFI32 firmware and misleading odd ideas of what they feel constitutes compatible or support.
And it is normal and necessary to install APPLE DRIVERS for logicboard as always after the OS is installed. (no need to load drivers during the Windows install with Windows 7). Calling them "Boot Camp" seems... misleading and confusing, they are chipset drivers as you need with any motherboard.

  • 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

    [Enable Bluetooth functionality after a clean installation of Windows 8|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03FI0001R04.htm]
    If a clean installation of Windows 8 has been performed, Bluetooth is not present and does not work on your notebook. It is necessary to install two driver components manually to activate the Bluetooth functionality.
    - Toshiba System Driver
    - If your notebook is equipped with an Atheros or Realtek WLAN card with Bluetooth, you have to download the Atheros or Realtek Bluetooth Filter Driver
    - If your notebook is equipped with an INTEL WLAN card with Bluetooth, you don't need to download any filter driver

  • Apps will not install or update after ios 8 installation

    Apps will not install or update after ios8 installation

    The solution that worked for me was to identify the apps that were stuck updating, and then find them on my iPhone.  (You can't search for them, you have to find their icon on your iPhone's desktop.)  Then I deleted those apps.  Then I went back to the App store, and they downloaded/updated like normal.  I did the same thing for the same problem on my iPad, and that also worked.
    Best of luck to everyone.

  • Install BootCamp update 4.0 on Windows 7 x64 returns error

  • W7 BSODs after installing Bootcamp update

    My machine is MBA which is configured to be OSX/W7 dual boot system using Bootcamp.
    I installed updateds of Bootcamp 3.2 121.25MB and Apple Software 2.1.3 2.22MB. The udates were downloaded and installed on W7.
    After the installation, W7 does not boot or BSODs, but OS X 10.6.8 still boot fine.  What could be the remedy?

    The rollback was used to fix the same problem about three months ago. By this time since, I am wondering if Apple or somebody has come up with a better way to fix it. That is a way to repair without undoing the updates installation.

  • Installing hp updates after upgrading to windows 7

    I recently did a clean install (reformatted) of windows 7 on my touchsmart laptop, installed the updates off the windows 7 hp update page. However, the shortcut keys on the side of the touchscreen (the settings, mediasmart, screen rotate) no longer work. This may be due to me not installing the updates off the web page in the correct order?
    I just started at the top of this page and worked my way down anyone know if these updates (specifically the hp mediasmart updates) need to be installed in a specific order?
    or do I need to just open up specific programs and alter their startup settings? 

    ok I;ve given up for now heres a list of what tinkering Ive tried to no avail
    1) digitizer originally worked, showed up in device manager (n-trig digitizer, 2 digitizer hid compatible input, all 3 entries labelled under "digitizer") 
    2) installed 2.59 win7 64bit n-trig multi touch pack got fatal error please restart and try again
    3) digitizer  no longer works, "unknown device" shows up in usb controllers
    4) flashed memory (turn off computer, hold on button in on position till computer turns off)
    5) digitizer still not working but now shows up in device manager under digitizer 3 entires
    6) installed 2.184 rev A win 7 64bit n-trig driver got fatal error
    7) restarted, unknown device in usb controllers again
    8) flashed memory again BUT only 1 entry in device manager under digitizer (n-trig_DIGITIZER, found HID-compliant consumer control device and n-trig multitouch HID device under Human Interface Devices
    9) trying to install either update (separately ) still get fatal error
    10) flashing memory no longer returns laptop to 3 digitizer entries stays in 1 digitizer 2 hid entires no matter what i try 
    so to summarise neither the 2.59 update or the slightly newer 2.184 rev A i found on the hp ftp will give touchscreen function. 
    N-trig's new driver update for multitouch has caused me to LOSE ALL TOUCHSCREEN FUNCTION

  • Adobe Application Manager CS5 downloads but does not install Spanish update on Windows 8.1 64 bit Spanish

    I have a multi license for Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5 in Spanish. I installed it correctly in Windows 8.1 Spanish 64 bit. Photoshop 32 and 64 bit start, same with Illustrator with some fix. Yet when I look for updates, 10 are found by Adobe Application Manager, but for a few days I get a message (in Spanish) that "there was an error while downloading, try again later". I do it for some days already without success. I have the same Spanish suite installed on Windows 7 64 bit (English) for some good time (2 years probably), and there the now no updates.
    The PDapp.exe file is from the year 2010. Is it not too old as for Adobe?

  • Skype Failed to install error 1603 after windows r...

    Hey everyone! Thanks for any help in advanced.
    Honestly after losing access to an old account and making a new account I've still been a long time fan of skype and love free 1 on 1 video calls. I'm really hoping this is an easy fix because honestly I've been looking at the skype community forums for the last hour and havn't been able to find a fix.
    About 2 and a half hours ago I reduced the size of my only partiton on my 500 GB harddrive as much as I could. After doing this I reinstalled windows on the new 200ish GB partition. After installing and loading windows I coppied skype, smite, and steam from D:\Program Files to C:\Program Files (x86) and attempted to run skype. Skype opened and I signed in as usual but skype was having a really high CPU usage and kept reading/writing to some statistics.db file at several GB/s (Total IO was like 1.8GB/s, mostly write I think). The 13% cpu usage, although concerning as abnormally high, didnt really bog down performance too much. This high disk usage was really driving my mad as when it peaked my computer would almost stop responding and skype.exe would stop responding (although it resumed eventually). Skype in this state was unusable as any time the window was focused it almost crashed.
    After this I decided to reinstall skype instead of using the backup I had. I went to uninstall skype and found that it didnt show up on the list to "uninstall a program" so I tried following as many steps I could at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10634/how-can-i-completely-uninstall-and-then-reinstall-skype-for...
    I've also followed all the steps here except for installing an earlier version of skype as I'm not sure what version to use. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-Problems-Troubleshooting/td-p/52260
    I force ended skype.exe then made backups of my skype user and pictures folders. I skipped step 3 since it wasn't in the list. I then did steps 4-6. While doing this I noticed it said there may be "up to 50" references to skype in the registry but I noticed there were a lot more. I'm not exactly sure how many there were but I counted up to 40 and when I noticed I was only half way through the registry I started spamming "delete" key "enter" (to confirm deletion) as fast as I could.  I'd say there were at least 70 skypes in the registry. I'm not sure if this registry includes things from my other installation of windows or if it got **bleep**ed up because of they way I tried to install skype.
    After doing all this with my registry I rechecked to make sure the skype program files and skype app data folders were deleted and then tried to reinstall skype. Downloading from http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ I tried to reinstall it and all I did was unchecked "run skype when windows starts" hit next unchecked the bing and skype click to call stuff, hit next. After it said installing for a while it said installation failed error 1603.
    I tried following advice of several posts on the forums and other sites, including going through the registry again, using Microsofts FixIt for install/uninstalls, and trying to install skype from another administrator account. After looking at several posts, trying all these fixes, and looking into it myself I'm really not sure what to do.
    I've looked at all of the following posts and tried all the fixes I saw.

    http://www.msigeek.com/715/how-to-troubleshoot-the-error-1603-fatal-error-during-installation (This page gave me an "Error establishing database connection" page)
    Not really sure what else to say or do, I've never really had to debug any programs or windows features before, and the only time I ever messed with the registry was a few windows installs before when I had to delete several instances of a self-reinstalling virus on my computer that spammed processes and lagged my computer.
    Edit: After seeing this link I tried rerunning Microsoft's FixIt Install/Uninstall with the program ID from the folder name at %programdata%\Skype. I tried doing this and installing Skype from SkypeSetup_6.1.0.129.msi. Installation failed with some failed to read file totally forgot what it was. I then tried using the standard InstallSkypeFull.exe and it gave an actual error this time instead of the apparently "generic" error 1603 (see attached picture) After this installation failed I tried reinstalling from the 6.1.0.129.msi and it didn't say it failed. I'm about to try and open it.
    Anddd opening Skype failed with the error message in the attached skype2 picture. I'm just going to close everything related to that except for this post and I'm going to close all my installers and debug stuff I have open and just wait for a reply. Currently I believe the system thinks skype is installed but I can't open it.
    Solved!

    I'm afraid that after all the manipulations your system is so messed up that a regular Skype installation is no longer possible.
    Try this:
    Download but not run this msi-installer for Skype 6.9.0.106 version:
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi
    Create a folder on your computer where you want Skype application to be located. This folder can also be C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\, but any other location will work too.
    Now using the procedure described here:
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/How-to-update-Skype-without-using-any-Skype-ins...
    extract Skype.exe file from the SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi file and copy this Skype.exe file to the selected installation folder.
    Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). You will have to start Skype using this new shortcut.
    P.S. There is a new link to the latest Lessmsi program:

After installing Windows 10 (and having no particular issues with the installation), LSC won't leave me alone about needing to run Windows Update. But when I click the Launch button provided, nothing happens. LSC is also recommending I update drivers and things, but the link provided to the Lenovo website also doesn't work. I had to run Windows Update and find the updated drivers on the Lenovo site myself. I happen to have a G505s, but the issue is obviously not restricted to one model.

    Maybe a Lenovo server is down. Check again later or tomorrow.
    Of course it might be that your firewall or other protection software is blocking the application from communicating with the Lenovo server...

  • Can't install Bootcamp, stuck in Windows XP

    Hey everybody, I recently got a MacBook Pro with OS X Lion. I partitioned the hard drive and successfully installed Windows XP. I tried to install Bootcamp, but I get an error message saying that Bootcamp can only be installed in Windows 7. How can I get back to OS X Lion? I don't have any Bootcamp files because I can't install. The Computer is only showing the partitioned hard drive. Please help!

    The usual way is to reboot your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until the Boot Selection screen is shown.
    Choose your OSX volume with the cursor-keys and hit Enter.
    Once in OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to delete the BootCamp Windows partition and revert back to one single OSX-volume.
    Then go to System Preferences - Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
    Apple has stopped support of Windows XP and Vista with the release of OSX Lion and BootCamp 4.0

  • Can't install ACR updates in Windows 7

    When I try to install downloaded updates, I get a message that the installer "... has encountered a problem. Close Adobe Bridge before continuing installation." Except that Bridge is not running, and I have no clue about why it thinks it is. Other updates have the same problem (Adobe Reader) but some have installed. Does anyone know what's happening here?
    There are other issues, such as the straighten tool in ACR will not draw a line and will crash Photoshop.

    Hi,
    Could you post the contents of your AIR installer log?  It's possible, depending on the error we received, we might also need the MSI log.

  • Apps will not install or update, after IOS6 upgrade

    After upgrading to IOS6, whenever I try to install or update an App, it says "waiting..." underneath its icon and has a completely empty status bar.  And never moves.  I had 8 apps that have been stuck that way for hours - all trying to update when I did an "update all" from the app store the first time after upgrading.
    So I tried powering off/on the phone.  I tried resetting the phone (holding home and power button together).  I deleted all the affected apps.  And now I am attempting to reinstall just one.  And it is stuck.  Help?

    The solution that worked for me was to identify the apps that were stuck updating, and then find them on my iPhone.  (You can't search for them, you have to find their icon on your iPhone's desktop.)  Then I deleted those apps.  Then I went back to the App store, and they downloaded/updated like normal.  I did the same thing for the same problem on my iPad, and that also worked.
    Best of luck to everyone.

    What is the fix for this?

    Are you getting the same error again when you retry to install the update ?
    This is basically a windows error which is related to application installation , were you installing any other app at same time ?
    Please try again and if again you are getting the error , contact support team via live chat.

  • Is there any "contraindication" about installing every updates from Windows Update (and Intel drivers)?

    Hello!
    The question is in the title.
    I decided to reinstall Windows 7 on my MacBook Air using Boot Camp and I'm trying to play a video game which is quite laggy. I downloaded and installed the lastest driver for HD Graphics 4000 and my computer didn't explode. Can I also download all the optional updates with Windows Update, including the ones concerning drivers? I read somewhere that we shouldn't install other drivers than the ones on the Boot Camp x.x Support Software installer... Is it true?
    Thanks!

    Peter,
    From what I read, I thought Internet based clients always download from Microsoft Windows Update first?
    "New in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, when you have a software update point that is configured to accept connections from the Internet, Configuration Manager Internet-based clients on the Internet always scan against
    this software update point, to determine which software updates are required.
    However, when these clients are on the Internet, they first try to download the software updates from Microsoft Update, rather than from an Internet-based distribution point. Only if this fails, will they then try to download the required software updates from
    an Internet-based distribution point. Clients that are not configured for Internet-based client management never try to download the software updates from Microsoft Update, but always use Configuration Manager distribution points."
