Mac drivers for XP
Hi,
I just installed Windows XP (service pack 2) on my Macbook Pro. Everything went fine (I used Bootcamp). The final thing I needed to do were installing the drivers from Mac for XP. So I put in (as I saw in a manual) the Mac OS install DVD when I was in XP. Everything went fine (like sound driver and graphics driver). At the end it asked to reboot. So I reboot and then my mouse, my keyboard and I also tried ah USB-mouse didn't work anymore. I can't do anything but pushing the powerbutton. Can somebody help me?
I'm sorry if my English isn't that good..
Tnx
MacBook Pro
you could just install Windows in a VM like VirtualBox

Windows 7 on VirtualBox

Where are the Mac Drivers for Windows 7 installation?
Where can i find the mac drivers for the windows 7 installation?
If you have a Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, they are available as a download. You can download them from Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) or from the Apple site.
If you have a Mac with Leopard or Snow Leopard, they are included in the Mac OS X disc that came with your Mac or in the Snow Leopard DVD. However, as you are going to run Windows 7, you can find more recent drivers in the Apple site as Boot Camp Support Software, depending on the Windows editions your Mac supports > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5634 -

Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc. The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
To install the Boot Camp drivers:
1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
2 Insert the Mac OS X disc. If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers
If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
To repair Boot Camp drivers:
1 Start up your computer in Windows.
2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc. -
Where i download the mac drivers for bootcamp
I want to do a partition with bootcamp for windows 7, and i saw in a tutorial that i need a CD with the mac drivers for the keyboard and trackpad... I havent got that CD... Where can i download it? lot of thanks!
What year/model computer do you have? On older computers the Windows Support software is on the OS install CD. On newer computers the Windows Support software is downloaded from within Boot Camp Assistant, there is a menu item in Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support software. Follow the instructions.

Do Mac drivers for Windows Vista exist yet? I heard rumor that this may not occur until BootCamp is out of beta... is this true? If so, what is the timeframe for when drivers might become available?
"Do Mac drivers for Windows Vista exist yet?"
No
"is this true? If so, what is the timeframe for when drivers might become available?"
Sorry, but Apple does not discuss unannounced products, and discussion of such topics is a violation of the terms and conditions of these discussion boards.

Install Mac Drivers for Boot Camp without right Leopard install disk
This is my first post so please excuse my lack of knowledge. I am currently in Dubai for a week of work and was having a problem with my Windows OS. I removed the partition and reinstalled Windows XP with the Windows disk I brought with me. When I went to install the Mac drivers from the Leopard Install disk 10.5.0 that I had also brought with me, I noticed it was the Leopard disk that I bought last year to upgrade my prior MBP from Tiger and not the Leopard 10.5.2 disk that came with my current MBP that I bought last month. I tried it anyway and as it was loading it would always crash in the same place- as it was loading the Broadcom driver. It was the blue display of death. Is there anyway that I can find Mac Drivers for a MBP from a 10.5.2 disk and extract them without actually having the right install disk which is back at my home in Los Angeles? I really need help! Thanks and sorry for the long post.
You could use Disk Utility to "Restore" the installation DVD to a USB Flash Drive. Boot from it to do the work. Your optical drive could be having "issues", or the DVD could be hard to read for some reason. You should be able to hold down the Option key during boot to choose to boot from the flash drive.
If you can't do the work from your Mac because of a hardware problem then you could try a different machine to make the flash drive.
If a different machine can't make the flash drive, then the media is bad. -
Beta MAC drivers for 0202 USB & 0404 USB
Hi all,
Just a quick message to let you know that there are Beta MAC drivers for the 0202 USB & the 0404 USB available. Please go to www.emu.com and on the home page there will be an image and when you click on it you will be directed to another URL where you can download them.
ATB,
- Jen -There seems to be a web site here http://www.eduscho.at/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/at/-/EUR/TdAtBrowseCat alog-Start?CategoryName=phase_1&Entry=nlpopup
I am not sure, as it seems to be in German, to follow any links to other items that are not groceries or Coffee.
The same with this link http://www.germandeli.com/eduschocoffee.html
I was hoping it would list a name like this bit does
Hub in Apple Pro Keyboard:
Version: 1.22
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Mitsumi Electric
Product ID: 0x1002
Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Computer, Inc.)
Yours does not seem to list the name which means we can not use that method for finding out what make it actually is.
There was a post in this thread from EZ Jim about using a macam driver.
These I understand are more camera Specific than other drivers which is why we needed a name.
The one from IOXperts may be of more help

While using Bootcamp 5.1, and OS X 10.8.2, I partitioned my Mac disk with 80 Gigs for Windows 7 home and the install went great, but I must have missed the time when I was to install the Mac drivers disk to install the drivers for Windows,(when in Windows I don't have a mouse or optical drive.) Is there a way to install the drivers after Windows is installed, or do I have to go through the whole process all over again?
Press X key after the startup sound to boot into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant, download Boot Camp drivers and burn them into a USB drive or DVD. Finally, boot in Windows and install drivers

Matrox RT mac drivers for Tiger?
Hi everyone,
I have just installed Tiger on to my G4 and im useing FCP 3 which I have not upgraded as it works just fine.... thanks, the problem is the Matrox RTMac card needs new drivers to work with Tiger and I have been on the Matrox site and I dont think they do them.
Can anyone tell me if they exist and if not is there an alternative to the Matrox RTMac for use with FCP 3 or 4.
any help would be very much appreciated.
Andrew
power mac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)
power mac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)One of the reasons that Matrox dropped the box was because FCP 4 and 5 have more RT by themselves than what was added by the RTMac.
so the answer is no sort of... BUT the faster the Mac CPU and drives you have the more RT you'll get... Duals matter too, FCP uses both (or even all 4) if they are there. You'll get More RT the more mac you run on basically. G5's do more than G4's etc...But there's ALWAYS my favorite command when RT fails and you must render... Before you do, type option+p... try it - you'll like it. It forces FCP to playback any unrendered or rendered sequence as fast as it can show you the frames, up to real time. Better than rendering, only to find you need to change something.

Can't install mac drivers for a windows 7 installation
Hi all,
I am new to Apple and have a brand new 27 inch iMac. I am trying to install Windows 7 on it, and after much much slow progress, I thought I was almost there.
I followed the instructions carefully, and have gotten to the stage where I have a bootable version installed on the iMac, I have - 2 actually - downloaded DVDs with bootcamp and the Mac supported software, but when I follow the instruction that says double click on setup.exe to install the drivers, all I get is an error notice that says "this program cannot be run undos mode". I am further confused by whether I should be attempting to run this program under win 7 or Mac, but since I can't do anything under win 7', the screen does not respond, I am at a loss.
Help much appreciated.
RGot it!
Just needed to use a standard keyboard and mouse, and not the Apple Bluetooth ones.
Turned on iMac, held alt key down to turn on windows 7, and new keyboard worked, and let me navigate into disk drive via windows, click on install, and here I am watching it doing just that!

I HAVE AN ORTEK 810 USB KEYBOARD. WHERE CAN I FIND A MAC DRIVER FOR IT? THANKS
I havean ortek mck810 sub. are there MAC drivers for the keyboard?? thanks
yes-I checked for you and yes, there's a driver. and yes, my experience has been that you can plug pretty much any usb keyboard into your Mac and it should work, at least the basic functions will work fine. Tried it out with a keyboard I found in the dumpster near my condo, and it worked, so there's that, anyways
there you go

Sorry still in trouble with corrupt drivers for Win 7 ....
Hi i have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro. I installed Win 7 (using boot camp) and Win 7 just about works OK, but of course it is missing the correct drivers, which i thought were available from the Mac OS X disc, obviously not from the Mac Application drivers disc.
So then i asked the question on the Forum, where it was suggested because i have a fairly recent Mac Book Pro i should download and burn to Disc the correct drivers by running Boot Camp. When this is done simply run the SETEUP.EXE file in Windows 7 and it will all be sorted !.
Sadly it doesn't and isn't, i run the SETUP.EXE file and i am presented with two options ....
1. Remote Install Mac OS X
2. DVD or CD Sharing
i do believe according to the instructions i have read elsewhere there should be 3 options, the first option should be ... Install MAC drivers for Windows 7 !!!!
So please can someone help me out here ?.
TimIt shouldn't require pounding the answer over and over. it shouldn't even require using OS X DVDs. Or typing the same answer on the keyboard multiple threads and times. It SHOULD either just be an independent download, or "FIX" whatever that 10.6.6+ 'featue" in Boot Camp Assistant. An additional chapter in the Boot Camp for Windows install PDF Guide.
the troubles are not with Windows my dear Dr Watson at all, no sir. They are in the guide, self-inflicted, left out of the guide, lack of reading the guide, and there are 100s of articles that belong under and in the Apple Support product page for Boot Camp (and weed out the stuff that is old, and have a link to sub-category if needed, and a "NEW Support Articles" addition. Which of course only .001% check to see.
