No Bluetooth Windows 7 x64, Snow Leopard latest BootCamp drivers

Hi All,
no bluetooth showing on system with the latest bootcamp drivers. A 'Base System Device' is showing in Device Manager with an error, but I can't point it to a driver and don't know where to get one.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
James

Unfortunately, Apple's Boot Camp 3.1 Bluetooth drivers don't work.

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp. I can't get back to my mac now. I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down. when i restart it comes back on in windows. How do I get back to my os x?

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp. Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard. When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows. How do I get back to my mac operating system?

If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

MacBook Pro running Windows XP with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

When I got a MacBook Pro in 2006 I gave a small partition to my husband so he could log into his computer at the office. I used Boot Camp and an OEM WIndows XP disk. Everything ran smoothly for 5 years... last week he started having problems with windows and after doing some diagnostics and deletions we were able to get the system up and running.
I have recently gotten a newer MacBook Pro and decided I should wipe the old one clean, give him a larger partition and reinstall everything. SO... I downloaded lion wiped the drive clean and reinstalled system software. Opened up Boot Camp clicked download Windows support software got an error. After searching support found that Lion doesn't support XP... His company still uses XP and he's not that computer Savvy so it makes sense to keep him with what he's familiar with (plus who wants to buy another windosOS)... SO I decided to reinstall the original disk of Snow Leopard, re partitioned the drive loaded XP, used the Windows installer disk I originally made with the Boot Camp beta version I downloaded 5+ years ago and everything was hunky dory... till this morning when I logged on to his system to do further installs and it says that hardware changes had been made and that WIndows needed to be "reactivated" click here... so I do and find the internet connection was missing (?) Works fine on the mac so it's a windows issue.
So I put in the windows xp disk to see if I can reinstall the OS and get an error "no boot disc"... I just decided to start over but am wondering if I made a mistake using the "mac windows installers" disk I made years ago. I go on to support and tried to download a newer version of the installers and it wants to give me an older version of Boot Camp.(am now thinking I might have had regular leopard when I first set up the initial partition/install for Windows)
I realize this is all long winded and maybe somewhat confusing. Bottom line is... I have a macbook pro that I need to install Windows XP on. Am I on the right track (planning to reinstall the XP disk but NOT repartition, etc.) Should I go back to Leopard? Should I erase the partition and start over? is there more updated Windows drivers I should be using??? SHould I bite the big one and buy Windows 7 and go forward from there?

Ok, that's what I have done... I have Snow Leopard Installed, 10.8.6 and it's got Boot Camp 3.0.4... my questionis the Mac Windows Install Drivers you add after installing Windows. Windows looks terribly awkward and I'm guessing it has something to do with the ATI graphics card sofware the mac disk installed. Is is ok to use the one I created years ago? I can't seem to find a place to create a new one using the 10.8.6 and 3.0.4.
When I orignially installed Boot Camp you had to create a disk using Boot Camp that you installed in Windows after the initial OS installation.

How to install Windows XP using Snow Leopard Bootcamp

Have a MacBook purchased Mar '11 that came with Snow Leopard and when attempting to run Bootcamp to create Windows partition receive msg that only Windows Vista or 7 are supported.
Also have Macbook Pro Jun '08 and Macbook Apr '09 that have Windows XP partitions created with Leopard Bootcamp which Apple Genius Bar upgraded to Snow Leopard and the XP partitions still run with no problems.
Why does Snow Leopard require Win Vista/7 for new Bootcamp partitions but supports Win XP on partitions that where created with Leopard?
Is there a way to use Win XP with Snow Leopard as purchasing 4 Win 7, would never run Vista, is a VERY undesirable option.
First time using this forum, but will do whatever I need to ensure answer(s) get points.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Bob.
Your questions have simple answers. I hope you find them helpful.
1. Yes, Windows XP will install on your MacBook Pro.
2. Most games run properly on Windows 7 Home Premium. But if you're really a hardcore gamer, I suggest you get yourself a copy of Windows 7 ULTIMATE (It's a little expensive though).
3. Home Premium costs around $120. Ultimate shoots up to $220. There is a Professional edition as well but that's not the type you want (It's particularly for business users, plus its $200). If your budget is restricted to $140, I suggest you go ahead with Home Premium. You can squeeze in a $20 software/game as well. I have been using it for quite some time on my MacBook Pro. It's great!
Regards.
Abhishek.

Windows 7 on snow leopard using boot camp 2.1/2.2 drivers

Hey Forum,
i am using snow leopard on my macbook, and I do not have the snow leopard install disc as I have lost it. I am intending to install windows 7 on it with my old leopard install dvd using boot camp 2.1/2.2 drivers? Can it be done? Ok in summary:
1-I partition my bootcamp using boot camp 3.1 on snow leopard,
2-process of installing windows
3-use my old leopard install dvd to install the drivers.
4-is it possible?
Regards.
Ala.

Hi,
Apple strongly recommends to use the BootCamp 3.0/3.1 drivers for Windows 7 and nothing else.
OSX Snow Leopard install DVDs can be bought at any Apple Store (and Amazon, etc.) for about USD 29
In summary:
1 - Works
2 - Works
3 - Might not work at all or you might have to use the 'compatibility mode' with the 2.x drivers.
4 - Try it
Before attempting you might wanna have/make a backup of your OSX, just in case.
Regards
Stefan

How to install Windows 95 on Snow Leopard

Is it possible to install Windows 95 on my computer? BootCamp says I need to install XP (which I have) but I have a large collection of children's games for Win95 that I would like to install for my son to use. Hope you can help!
Thanks,
Lizzy

If you wish to use Win95, then you cannot use Boot Camp. But you can use virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop or VM Fusion. See the following:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard or Snow Leopard to get it.

Setting up network drive from Windows XP to Snow Leopard

This works fine from my XP box to my mac running Tiger. I'm trying to do the same from my Windows XP box to my mac running Snow Leopard.
On windows I do a "Map Network Drive". I select an empty drive letter ("O", for example), then I enter for the destination: "\\server\username" (where server is the name of my mac and user name is the same user on both XP and OS X. Eventually a login dialog pops up. I enter my user name (on the mac), and the password, the dialog pops up again with "server\username" and an empty password. I enter the password again, and the same thing happens.
Do I need to enable something special in the "Sharing" system prefs? I have the following check boxes checked:
File Sharing
Printer Sharing
Web Sharing
Remote Login
On the Tiger box, I have the option to select "Windows Sharing", on SL that doesn't exist in the list.
Hope someone can help. I only use the PC to scan and then I like to drag the files over to my mac from the PC. I use a network drive set on the PC desktop for that.
Thanks

But I'm trying to log in from the PC to my Mac...

I'm on the PC. I select Tools->Map Network Drive... from the file explorer. I select an available Drive letter (in this case, O:). I enter \\mymac\myuserid for the "Folder:" name. I then click on the "Finish" button. At that point it attempts to "Connect". After a few seconds I get a login dialog. That is where I enter my username and password on my mac. Actually, I am using the same user id and password on both the PC and Mac.
Why are you going to all that trouble? Here's what I do:
1 double-click the 'Network' icon on the desktop (or select 'Network' from the Start Menu)
2 locate the network share I want to use in the Network window
3 double-click that icon.
The first time I double-click it, Windows asks me for the username and password. I type that in, and click the 'remember this' checkbox. After that I never need to enter the username and password again. (Note that this should only be done on your machines on your network...)
Note that 'Network' might have a different name, 'Network Neighborhood', for example, with a different version of Windows. I'm using Win7 Pro on most of my WInBoxes. WinXP makes things slightly more complex, but not much.
I hope this explains it better.
Thanks

ITunes 9 64-bit for Windows, but not Snow Leopard?

So I installed iTunes 9 on my MBP running Snow Leopard, and when I go into Activity Monitor, under the CPU tab, in the "kind" column it clearly singles out iTunes as the ONLY app not running in 64-bit. Now doing a brief search the only discussion of a 64-bit app seems to be a Windows vers. No way would APPLE write a 64-bit vers for windows w/o writing one for their own OS, RIGHT!?!?! I installed iTunes using "Software Update" under the apple menu. I assume it would give me the best option (64 bit vs 32 bit) if there were in fact 2 versions available for Mac. I am confused, can someone clear this up?

Mark, it's not just you! I followed the instructions at http://yukichigai.googlepages.com/iphonex64 with several previous upgrades, which worked like a charm except for a near-bricking scare at the last firmware upgrade that I was able to fix with my husband's 32-bit system. last night, I got this exact error as well. I really don't want to have to move my library to our 32-bit machine and kick my hubby off every time I need to sync, but if there's no workaround, that may be what I have to do. I don't know if I'm angrier at apple for not making clear on the iphone box or documentation this issue with XP64 and not going to the bother of making itunes play nicely, microsoft for creating this version of XP. or the person who built my PC who extolled the virtues of XP64 in the first place. thank goodness I have another computer, or I'd REALLY be SOL.

Cant boot up in Windows vista after Snow leopard upgrade

All was working fine, then I upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.3).
Now when I try to boot windows it loads up to the Windows password screen OK then the system reboots itself. It keeps doing this until booted in OS 10.
Help please

They all work except FCP 6 and After effects cs3. FCP is my main worry. I have a deadline to finish.

Having trouble installing windows vista with snow leopard

I replaced my hard drive with a 3tb Seagate and partitioned the hard drive and installed Snow leopard and then partitioned the hard drive with bootcamp and went to install windows vista and got the error message that windows vista cannot be installed because of the gpt partition. Help.

sounds like you have a 2nd hard drive.
Also, you may run into 3TB issue with MBR. The boot partiton volume has to reside totally below 2.2TB so you would need to leave .8TB free. I think.
have an SSD and hard drive, both? during install you can't have another drive with GPT so you can't have OS X or GUID data drive present. During install.

I have a mac book 10.6.8 that has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (latest version.) How can I upgrade to mountain lion with 1GB of memory? When I go to buy it, it says that it's not compatible with my Mac but my Mac has all of the qualifications.

If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.

You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11. iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can't upgrade without more RAM.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."

Windows 7 on Snow Leopard

I currently have XP SP3 installed using Boot Camp. Since Microsoft said that they will support XP until 2014, so I think it will be better to upgrade to their latest OS, Windows 7.
At the same time, I am still love using my Mac.
So, it is possible to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp?
If yes, how?

it's possible (on some macs) but it is not yet officially supported by Apple.

you might want to wait till apple releases windows 7 bootcamp drivers.
If yes, how?
same way you installed windows xp. boot from the windows 7 install dsik and install.

Installing Windows XP on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Hi!
I am trying to install windows XP (professional) on to my macbok pro.
By using the Boot Camp Assistant I partitioned the drive *** instructed and started the windows installer.
The problem occurs when I am asked to choose witch partition i want to install windows onto.
It only shows one partition, the one running my OSX, not the one I created with BC.
( I created a 20GB partition, and choose the FAT format)
When I go back to OSX both partitions show.
Please help me!

The instructions say in step 3: install windows: part 4:
"to select and format the correct partition for windows xp:
1. select "c:partition3<bootcamp> (FAT32)"
But this partition does not exist, it only shows one partition named "unknown1" and I think that is the one running OSX..

Snow Leopard server & bootcamp

Ok guys.
I upgraded from Leopard server to Snow leopard server 2 weeks ago
Did a fresh install
Erased hard drive installed
then Migrated my data/application over from a Super-duper backup.
No last night i wanted to do something on my Windows XP drive.
And noticed that my drive is no longer in the StartUpdrives area.
Now i can boot with option and choose the drive and the drive starts up fine.
So i decided to run the Bootcamp agent when doing this it gave me an error stating it needs to be updated in order to use it.
Ran Apple's update utilities it did not find anything.
I've been reading mix'ed things o line about this some say its not included anymore others say its a bug.
Could i get a definitive answer on this?

anyone?

If Mavericks is updated from snow leopard, will the drivers be kept intact for my printer and other aps?

If I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, will my drivers be kept, and will my settings for Safari and Mail be kept?

Yes. Upgrading doesn't muck with your or 3rd-party stuff unless the latter is incompatible. Then, the installer will those things into a root-level folder entitled Incompatible Software. As for your printer, ensure that you install the latest printer update before upgrading. Also, note that all PPC apps will no longer work.
