Need some help using BootCamp on MacBook Pro 2011

Hello,
I have just bought a CD which is not compatible with MacBook's, and can only use Windows operating system. I have been direceted to use the BootCamp application, when I load the app, it comes up with two options, to download something or buy Windows 7, which I dont have, therefore I chose the first option. I was told to put in a USB drive in, which I have done, and a load of files have been downloaded to my USB drive, but what do I do next?
Thanks.

As you are using OS X Mountain Lion and looking at the MacBook Pro you are using, you can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or 8 version, but you can't use Windows XP or Windows Vista. If you haven't got Windows yet, buy Windows 7 on a DVD in Amazon or eBay, or Windows 8 from the Microsoft Store or Amazon (make sure that you buy it on a DVD).
What you have downloaded to your USB drive are the Boot Camp drivers. Those drivers are for all the hardware of your Mac, because Windows doesn't detect everything, so you need those drivers to run Windows properly and get the maximum performance of the MacBook Pro. You have to install them just after installing Windows.
If you need help installing Windows with Boot Camp, see > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • What cable do I need to buy to connect my Macbook Pro (2011) to a VGA screen? I tried the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA", but apparently it doesnt fit the 2011 Pro version...

    As the topic says,
    What cable do I need to buy to connect my Macbook Pro (2011) to a VGA screen? I tried the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA", but apparently it doesnt fit the 2011 Pro version...
    Help me out please.

    Yes ... minidisplay
    But what I do not like in that picture (my personal view, others may think differently), is that there is much plastic around the connectors where the cable must fit.  You may ot may not be able to get the cable to *fully seat* with the adapter.
    Other adapters (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0334087, yes I know this is a DVI) hve no plastic barriers to connections.

  • Can I use a touch monitor with win 8.1 using bootcamp on MacBook Pro? Thanks.

    I have a MacBook Pro  late 2013. I have installed win 8.1 using bootcamp. Can I attach a touch monitor to use with Win 8.1?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010 none of which can run Windows 8. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • BSOD when installing windows 7 drivers using bootcamp in macbook pro late 2013

    I followed the bootcamp instructions and installed windows 7 in my macbook pro 13 inch late 2013. But when the bootcamp starts to install the required drivers, halfway through the computer goes to BSOD. And after restart windows shows many error messages of "validation error".
    I have a student licensed windows 7 professional.

    I had the same problem. I  was installing a Debug Build of Windows 7 on MacBook Pro 15" Late 2013 with a student license and it would die with BSOD while running BootCamp at the end of Windows installation. I solved the probelm by downloading a non-Debug version of Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 and re-trying the installation from scratch. That is, I went back to OS X, launched BootCamp Assistant, erased the previous partition of Windows and re-created it again. After that, I installed a fresh copy of the right flavor of WIndows and it worked flawelessly.

  • Need some help using CSS Rules and Positioning Image Place Holders

    Evening all,
    I need to get this done by tomorrow so some speedy help would be very much appreicated!
    I'm doing a website for an IT company, and as you may/may not know, support for XP and Office 2003 is dropped tomorrow - they want a button in the header of their site which basically says 'click here for upgrade advice' and when you click on it you're taken to a page telling you the benefits of upgrading. They want it to look like the mock up below:
    I've had a right old job even getting the button (it's in PNG format) to go above the BrownTech logo. I inserted a placeholder, linked it to the PNG file, and then I made a custom CSS rule/class called '.header_fltrt' to put the image in and position it in that place, directly above the BrownTech logo.
    To get the upgrade button in the desired position, here are the 'Box' CSS properties I used for the .header_fltrt CSS rule.
    It's worth noting that the dimensions for the header itself are 960x235px, and the BrownTech logo is the background image for the header class (and is 960x235 in dimensions).
    The problem I am having is that when I view the page in Design Mode in Dreamweaver, it looks fine, but when I view it in Live View or in a web browser, it looks like this:
    As you can see, the upgrade button is not even visible!
    Furthermore, when I go back into design mode on Dw, when I click on the upgrade button, I don't get any placeholder properties like I do when I click on green logo in the top left (which by the way is just a link back to the index page).
    I'm not sure why this is but I cannot find any way to resolve it. I've even tried putting the BrownTech logo on a transparent background thinking that the block white background may be covering the upgrade button, but that's not the case.
    Sorry if I haven't explained it very clearly. Hopefully you can see my problem.
    Any help in etting the upgrade button to preview in the correct place would be very much appreciated!

    Try this in place of what you have now.
    .header {
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
        min-height: 335px; /**adjust as needed**/
        width: 960px;
        background: url(../assets/banner2.png) no-repeat;
    .header_fltrt {
    /**no floats or positioning required**/
        width: 552px;

  • After stop using bootcamp my Macbook Pro always stuck when open.

    A week ago I had decided to stop using Windows Vista through Boot Camp because I ran out hard disk spaces and I think Windows Vista has no long necessary for me, so I go to Utilities and go Boot Camp Assistant to deleted my Windows Vista. after I deleted my Windows every time I shut down my Mac and open up again it always stuck with black screen and asked (.....to press any keys) and I did but nothing happen and sometime it stuck with empty white screen, to open up my Mac without any problems I need to hold down the Option keyboard when I start up my Mac and wait until the Mac OS Disk show up and select then it will be okay.
    Please tell me what should I do to avoid this problems every time I start up my Mac without keep holding Option key.

    Check the setting in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

  • Error 4261 - really need some help from one of you pros!

    I keep getting error 4261 when I try to burn CDs. I was able to do it for awhile just fine and suddently I can't anymore. Each time I try now I get partway through burning and it stops, the disk is ejected, and I get error 4261.
    Here's what I have tried so far with no luck:
    1. Decreased burn speed to 2x, on both iTunes and my CD burner
    2. Turned off my virus scanning software (Live One)

    Any suggestions???

    There are a few points of interest on your Drivers and downloads page at Dell.
    Dimension 5150/E510 (XP)
    Check to see if the firmware on your HLDS GWA-4164B HH 16X DVD+/-RW is up to date. (That's the drive itunes is identifying as an HL-DT-ST.) at least one of the Dell firmware revisions to that was urgent and related to reading and writing to media.
    Also,
    Check to see if the Chipset drivers for your Intel Chipset are up to date.
    Check to see if your Dell Dimension System BIOS is up to date.
    Check to see if the video adapter driver for your ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express X16 (DVI/VGA/TV out) Radeon X300 SE is up to date.
    Once you're satisfied you're up to date, do you still get the 4261?

  • Need some help....Macbook Air 2009 MC234LL/A

    Need to get the front cover replaced (the side with the Apple logo).
    I've been searching everywhere to find a replacement and I keep finding the replacement piece for the 2008 or 2010 model.
    Wanted to get it done by Apple but it's a ridiculous amount of money compared to other certified Apple refurbishers.
    Can anyone tell me if the cover is the same as the 2008 or 2010 model?
    Need to do it FAST!!!
    Thanks community...I will forever be in your debt!

    Thank you! It's working great, just one more question (really sorry for this), how would I get the app to redirect to another frame, when It detects no internet from startup, and when the internet cuts out during usage? Here's my code, but I can't get it to work:
              if (monitor.available)
                        htmlL= new HTMLLoader();
                        htmlL.width=1200;
                        htmlL.height=662;
                        htmlL.x=0;
                        htmlL.y=38;
                        addChild(htmlL);
                        htmlL.load(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));
              else
               gotoAndStop (13);
                        if (htmlL)
                                  htmlL.mouseChildren = false;
                                  htmlL.mouseEnabled = false;
                                  gotoAndStop (13);

  • What version of firefox should i use on my macbook pro 2011

    I keep getting a message to update my computer to 3.6.16 and I think I did but the popup on my computer still says 3.6.13.  I also tried to download Firefox 4 from the Mozilla website.  I don't know what version I am really using now.  My computer is taking forever to change from one screen to another, so I'm pretty sure I screwed it up somehow.  Thanks for any help I can get.

    Your choice what version. Standard wisdom is always use the latest  and therefore most secure.  Not all add-on's are ready to go for the latest versions however.

  • Help me choose a Macbook Pro

    Hey everyone, I need some help in choosing which Macbook Pro is right for me.
    Basically I'm wondering which of these 2 would be a better choice.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB471LL/A?mco=MTEzMjIzODU
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB471LL/A?mco=MTEzMjIzODU
    What are the main differences?
    4gb of ram should be sufficient and I doubt I would ever upgrade to 8gb.
    as for graphics, I would mostly only need a mac that would allow me to play the latest Sims games. the first has a graphics memory of 512 and the second has 256.
    Thanks in advance.
