Macintosh Drivers CD

When I moved someone stole a box that had my mac installer cd's in it and now I can't install windows because I need the drivers cd that was stolen. So is there a copy of the drivers CD on the hard drive that I can burn to a cd? Does Apple have it available for download? Is this covered in my warrantee? Please help

ya that was the answer i kept finding, "an option to burn a drivers cd" and i knew that was only for the beta version, ok so i guess the only way i can get the cd contents is to buy the drivers cd from apple, oh well, thanks for clearing that up though.

Macintosh drivers for SB

I had a friend tell me he had drivers for Sound Blaster Li've! 5. for Macintosh.
I went and bought myself one, and it says "cannot find device drivers" when I attempt to install it.
Does anyone know where I can find support for Macintosh ?
Is there any other product from Creative Labs that has Mac drivers?
Thanks,
Andrew

There were some drivers for MacOS 9 a long time ago, but they were specifically for the Li've! Mac edition?(not sure if they work with regular Li've cards). OS X was never supported. Other than that only the X-Mod is compatible with macs, some EMU products are also mac-friendly.

Sound in xp using latest boot camp drivers

Hey all - I have a problem in xp that I am wondering if anyone else has...
I cannot get sound out of the "line out" (I have the computer hooked up to speakers). I can only get sound out of the headphone jack - and NEVER get the sound out of the front (internal) speaker in xp. Anyone know what's going on?
I have looked at the RealTek controls, and I can't seem to select or otherwise enable the "line out" or internal speaker. I'm lost - anyone have any help for me? Thanks!

I found something that may be helpfull... I email this guy who is an expert on drivers for boot camp- this is the discussion so far...

Hey Makel,
After hours of searching I finally found a useful website... yours.
I recently purchased a new 24" imac with 2.8ghz extreme, 4gigs of ram

the so-called Macintosh drivers cd... the sound is echoing really bad
and very patchy. The video card appears to be operating normally most
of the time- until I try to play a video in media
player- it only shows shades of blue... Also Simcity 4 runs far more
slowly than it should on a system of this caliber. Do you have any
suggestions for drivers or any other insights. I really appreciate
your input,

Hi Brandon,
I'm glad you found my article on Boot Camp drivers useful. Keep in mind I only have experience with MacBook Pros and Boot Camp, but I think I have a few pointers for you which can get you back up and running. Regarding your system spec, remember that unless you're running Windows 64bit (Vista or XP) you will not get the full benefit of those 4 gigs of ram - the most you'll see is a bit over 3 gigs. If you are running a 64bit version of Windows, stop, wipe it clean and start over with a 32bit version.
Your assumption that the iMac running XP should be a 'screamer' is correct. If SimCity 4 isn't isn't blazing fast, there's something iffy going on. First thing you should do is grab the latest driver release for your Radeon 2600. You can download those here: http:// ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonx-xp.html
Regarding your other driver issues, I would suggest skipping the Boot Camp installer and do the driver installation manually. You'll need to know what's actually inside your system, and to do this you'll need a utility to analyze the hardware. I recommend SiSoft Sandra (http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/index.html?
dir=&location=pinformation&langx=en&a), there's a free version available for download.
Once you know what's inside your new iMac (because to be honest, I
don't) you can selectively install the drivers that Apple provides you with via the Boot Camp Assistant.
Before doing this though, nuke the Windows install you currently have and start fresh.
I hope that clears up your problems, let me know if it does, or if there's any other snags you come across.
Cheers,

Airport Card drivers missing WIndows XP professionnal 32bit bootcamp

Hi, I'm employee in a Apple Official resseller store and a customer bought an Imac 21.5 Late 2009 (duo 3.06) and he asked us to install Windows XP professionnal 32 bit (he got his license) on bootcamp. Everything went good, the installation worked perfectly, but when I installed the drivers with the Snow leopard Install disc, the Airport card driver and the Video Composite (VGA) driver didn't installed. we tried everything, we did all the updates possible but still nothing.
Windows in on SP 2 and even by ethernet I can't install the SP 3 (a osloagon.dll error) but the minimum required is SP 2.
I even tried on windows to open the CD and installed every drivers one by one but still nothing.
So I wonder if you guys know where I can find the Drivers. I really don't know what to do, I'm out of options.
thanks

Thanks for the info Stefan,
However, I don't think that the Macintosh driver CD will do me any good in this case because I am not planning on running the 32 bit version of Windows XP. I will be installing XP64 tomorrow once my CD arrives in the mail.
I've heard of quite a few people who are currently running XP64 on their Mac Pro's, but I'm also pretty sure that the driver CD created by Boot Camp will only work in Windows XP 32-bit.
If ANYONE knows of a work around for installing macintosh drivers for my super drive and airport extreme, PLEASE let me know, because I will most certainly need to be able to use my wireless card and keyboard (especially for the CD tray)
Thanks,
Greg

Bootcamp 1.1.1, Apple Keyboard Drivers and Trojan.Bancos

I just upgraded to Bootcamp 1.1.1 (from 1.0) to get my camera, keyboard and soundcard working properly (on my rarely used Win XP); and, not to my surprise, stumbled upon a Trojan.Bancos warning (from PestPatrol in my WinXP partition) from the Macintosh Drivers CD (specifically the /Apple Keyboard/Setup.exe file). Since I created the file in my OSX partition, it's technically not possible to get this Trojan through Windows. I searched the Trojan but it looks like it's a PC pest (wow, that's shocking)... how did I get a drivers CD with a PC trojan through my Mac OS? Norton fails to recognize it and I can't get the same warning again when I scan the CD again with PestPatrol. Did anyone get this problem?

I know that my machine is still vulnerable but I don't understand how a Mac generated CD could be infected with a PC trojan... the weirdest of all PC trojans (apparently it's a Brazilian banking trojan that steals bank passwords form portugese websites)...

AirPort Extreme Drivers for Windows XP???

This may be a very silly question, but I've got a new Mac Pro that will be arriving in two days and I couldn't help but wonder, "How will the AirPort Extreme WiFi card be able to connect to the Internet when I'm running Windows XP from a separate hard drive using Boot Camp?
The Internet connection in my apartment is wireless only (coming from a router upstairs in my landlord's part of the house). Are there any AirPort Extreme drivers for Windows XP? If so, I have not been able to find anything online.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks,

Boot strap drivers installation failure

Hello!
Got my Mac Book Pro last night, updated the OS and firmware, and finally got XP installed. But now when I run the Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP setup, it extracts everything, says "Preparing to install", then I got the message "This software does not support your hardware". Great. I had the RAM upgraded to 2 gigs and also upgraded to the 7200 RPM drive, but now I am starting to regret it.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there some place where Apple posts these drivers separately?
Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you for replying. It was my fault for sure... I tried installing Media Center (two disks), realizing my mistake half way through the install. When it asked for disk 2, I hit ESC and it continued without a hitch. XP started and seemed to work, but I think there were some files missing that made it so the MSI wouldn't fully install.
Bought a single disk copy of XP (with SP2) and redid everything, and the drivers are now installed and I am a happier Mac owner running XP.
Thanks again for the reply!

Windows audio drivers for iMac Intel

Hi
I accidently deleted the Windows audio drivers on my machine. The audio works fine in Mac mode but errors out looking for the drivers in PC mode.
My brain errors out looking for the page with the proper drivers.
Any leads greatly appreciated..

Thanks for responding.
Yes, I have Boot Camp back-up CD (2 copies actually - 'Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP')
Error message I get when I run the set-up file from either copy: "Unable to locate file Macintosh Drivers for Windows.xp.msi."
Is there anywhere on line to download the drivers?
Thanks again

Mac book pro / boot camp "answers" for dummies

I followed the Installation and Setup Guide word for word...there were just a few words missing that really made it difficult, caused much frustration and almost had a mbp fly out a car window. I am a dummy!
Always print off the Guide and read it first, I read it as I went along and that was a mistake.
Step 1: Updating Firmware
My MBP arrives June 19 and already had the firmware updates. I did need to update OSX to 10.4.7.
Step 2: Download Boot Camp
Visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
Click download. (here is where the installation guide failed to mention some key instructions) Before you can "Burn a Macintosh CD" you must follow the next few steps.
a.) Agree to terms
b.) Select the Macintosh HD
c.) When its done downloading double-click the package icon on your desktop
d.) Put in your blank recordable cd, go into your HD, Applications, Utilites folder, double-click the boot-camp icon.
e.)This is where the installation guide picks up the rest of the instructions. A screen comes up that allows you to burn a macintosh driver cd. Follow the instructions in the guide.
Step 3: Creating a partition
In the guide they don't mention FAT or NTFS formats until after you create the partition. That was dumb! (if you read all the instructions first, instead of following along you would have partitioned differently)
a.) FAT-Provides better compatibility, but must be 32 GB or smaller...now you tell me!
Step 3 continued: Selecting the Windows partition
Here they scare the crap out of you by telling you not to do anything other than select the C drive.
a.) The first screen that comes up is the Windows XP Professional Setup, looks like the one in the Guide but without an option to select C:Partition3. Your only option was to "Install". My jaw dropped..now what??
b.) Click install, the next screen gives you the options. (boy, I was lucky)
c.) Remember what I said about the size of your partition and FAT vs NTFS
Step 4: Installing Macintosh Drivers
They mention here that there "may be" hidden windows that you must respond to or nothing will happen, THERE ARE GOING TO BE AT LEAST 3 HIDDEN WINDOWS....just be aware of that so your not sitting like a dummy waiting for stuff to happen
The rest of the Guide is pretty word for word and easy to follow. Good Luck, hope this saves you some of the frustration I experienced, boy, do I feel dumb!
Simple things you may need to know...
1. "Right-click" by holding the control (ctrl) key and click the mouse at the same time.
2. Select operating system by holding option key at start-up
3. Back up your domain files if use iweb or else you will lose it all....talking from experience here!
Good Luck

Very nice write up.Should help more than a few dum...er,uh...people.

Wireless Keyboard and Mouse how to for XP Bootcamp

The promise of running Windows XP was marred by my inability to get the wireless keyboard to function in Windows during startup. Judging by the number of posts on this issue, I am not the only one who is frustrated. While didling with this issue I developed a sure fire, if somewhat un-Apple and in-elegant, way to get them to work.
First you need to create a driver disk using the latest version of Bootcamp (I used version 1.1.1) and install them under XP using a wired keyboard and mouse.
Now re-install the Apple Bluetooth drivers to make sure you have the latest version:
1. Boot into Microsoft Windows.
2. Open the Control Panel and select Bluetooth Devices.
3. In the Hardware Tab, click Apple Built–In Bluetooth.
4. Click the Properties button.
5. Click the Driver tab.
6. Click the Update Driver button and the Hardware Update Wizard will appear.
7. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)".
8. Deselect "Search Removable media".
9. Select "Include this location this search".
10. Click Browse.
11. Navigate to c:/Program Files/Macintosh Drivers for Win XP/BthKicker/
12. Once the update is done, reboot.
Next we need to add the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (and wireless Mighty Mouse if you have).
1. If you are using a desktop Mac, connect a wired USB mouse and keyboard.
2. In windows, open the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth Devices".
3. Turn Bluetooth Discovery to "On"
4. Make sure your Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is on.
5. Click the Devices Tab.
6. Click the "Add"button.
7. When the "Welcome to the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" window appears, select the "My device is set up and ready to be found" checkbox, then click Next.
8. Locate the keyboard in the list the Wizard provides, then click Next.
9. Connect and select the "Let me choose my own passkey" option.
10. Enter "0000", then click Next.
When the process has completed successfully, you will see this message: "The Bluetooth device was successfully connected". You should now be able to use your keyboard.
On your next reboot in Windows, the logon screen will come up and neither your wireless mighty mouse or wireless keyboard will work. To activate the mouse, click one of it's buttons once or twice and it will start after a couple of seconds. unfortunately keyclicks will not start the keyboard.
To get it to activate, turn the keyboard upside down and use the switch to turn the keyboard off and back on again. Wait about 6 seconds and voila! As I said, not elegant, but definately a lot better than having 2 keyboards. It would be nice if Apple could modify the firmware to start the keyboard when a key is pressed, just like the mouse.
Have fun!

Windows blue screen of death crash during Boot Camp driver install

I have been trying to get Windows running under Boot Camp on my 2.66 GHz Alu iMac, but without success.
Boot Camp partitions the drive and Windows XP SP2 installs properly. I boot into Windows, and then insert my Leopard install DVD to install the Apple drivers.
The driver installation gets about halfway, then the machine crashes with a blue screen of death and restarts automatically. It puts me back in Windows, with no drivers installed.
I am installing the Boot Camp drivers from the Leopard retail DVD. This machine is missing the Leopard install/restore discs that came with it, and Apple want to charge £99 for a replacement set.
Is there any way I can get the Boot Camp drivers installed, or do I need to find a friend with the exact same machine and original system discs and use those?

Aloha Adam.
Don't know whether this is helpful, but below is a list of drivers that are installed (as of Aug 08).
Also, if you have not already, you may find FAQ helpful, as well, at URL: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1656
Lastly, though they're a year old, the Update 2.1 is in .exe format, so if you can get it the .exe download package onto your installed Windows OS somehow (e.g., copied onto a CD, IF Windows can read it), you might stand a chance of alternate means of installing the drivers.
If this helps, please so indicate.
Thanks,

Windows Vista Business with MBP - wireless not working

I have successfully installed Windows Vista on my MBP using Boot Camp Assistant.
Problem is that the wireless ethernet does not work. I have heard of some file called "Install Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP.exe". If this is what I'm suppose to use where do I find this file?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
first thing to do after the Vista Installation is to insert the OSX DVD that came with your MBP while in Windows.
Apple provides the BootCamp Drivers on that DVD.
The Driver Setup should start automatically once the DVD is inserted.
Let the Driver install and do the neccessary reboot into Vista once it has finished.
Hope it helps
Stefan

Some advice for a windows person who wants to switch :o

Hey, here's the deal. I work in a computer shop and I've been looking at Mac's more and more and I'm beginning to love them.
I'm going to university soon and so I will be purchasing a laptop, and I am thinking about getting the new Macbook with an Intel processor. The reason for this choice is so I can dual boot Windows.
I really like what I have seen with Mac os, but having Windows there for when I need it would be fantastic, too.
How stable is XP running on the new Macbooks, will the drivers provide almost full functionality (i.e. display, networking, usb, sound etc.)?
Do you think Mac would be suitable for me at University, taking into consideration integration with the school's windows based network and also the wireless network in my halls of residence??
I really would like to switch to Mac now that I can use Windows when I need to, and have MacOS for the majority of usage, whilst also having an extremmmmmmely cool looking machine.
Any advice or general info aswell, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

From here:
Are there any Macintosh features that I should not expect to work when running Windows XP on an Intel-based Macintosh computer?
Even after installling the Macintosh Drivers CD, the Apple Remote Control (IR), Apple Wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard or mouse, Apple USB Modem, MacBook Pro's sudden motion sensor, MacBook Pro's ambient light sensor, and built-in iSight camera will not function correctly when running Windows.
Macs work fine on the Windows network at the university I went to, including the wireless networks in the dorms.

Can an intel cam be used with a powerbook G4

intel cam model CS330
powerbook G4 has no isight/cam and runs OS 10.4.11
No macintosh drivers for the intel cam were found, only for windows OS.
Any suggestions for a driver? Photo-booth gives a "no cam found, in use by another program" when launched. No other programs are running.
thanks

I suspect you're out of luck on a driver. OSX has drivers built-in for many devices, and for those those that don't exist the devices either have them on the device ROM or in unusual cases, separate drivers supplied with the device. There's a lot of devices that simply don't work on Macs.
