OSX Maverick... Updated Bootcamp Drivers?

Will there be upgraded Bootcamp Drivers for Windows 7 when we upgrade to Maverick?
Thanks,

I have spent a whole lot of hours trying to install Windows 7 Pro in my MacBook Pro. Feeling like am butting my head on the wall. Can you help please? Here is what I posted last night:
"Okay... 1) did all the instructed "homework" to prepare the MacBook Pro. Backed everything up on an external 500 gB drive via Time Machine after making certain the OS X MAVERICKS was completely updated and no more software updates.
2) Re-formated/erased my 16 gB flash drive (on the Mac) to be certain it would have the right FAT formatting. Had tried to do it on the desktop PC and the Boot Camp assistant would not accept it. Accepted after the Mac formating.
3) Downloaded the MS Windows Support software to the Flash Drive as directed from within the BootCamp Assistant
Selected the partitioning choices:
OS X: 629 gB and 552 gB free
WINDOWS: 120 gB (recommended by a knowledgeable friend
4) partitioning failed so.....
5) re-installed OS X MAVERICKS again using the Restart>>>Command R held down & selected the "re-install OS X"
6) tried BootCamp Assistant again then tried to partition
        failed again
7) Re-started again by clicking the Apple re-start then held down the Command R again to select:
        Disk Repair and it was okay
8) Verified disk permissions
9) Repaired disk permissions
10) Ran Boot Camp Assistant again but still keep getting this error message
          " Your disk could not be partitioned" "an error occurred while partitioning the disk"

Having issues updating Bootcamp drivers from 11.1 to 11.7

having issues updating Bootcamp drivers from 11.1 to 11.7
No matter what driver I have tried thus far
it does not install or update the drivers
Battlefield 3 nags you about having 11.1 and needing to update.
However this game proceeds to load using these drivers (11.1 )
I recently bought NFS THE RUN.
Unlike BF3 the game does not proceed therefore inorder to play this game i would need 11.7 or higher.
can someone please provide the driver that actualy installs and works.
My specs are MBP 15 inch
1 gig GPU ( AMD Radeon 6750m)
8 gigs on Ram
2.2 CPU i7

Take a look around my bookmarks
you are updating AMD, not Boot Camp drivers.
you need to uninstall first.
probably need to update via Device Manager not via Install from AMD

Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

Is it possible to write in superscript or subscript in mac mail since the OSX Mavericks update? At the moment I have to copy and paste from Pages!

I tried to figure this out myself and couldn't believe there wasn't a simple menu item to get this done. Seems there was in pre-Mavericks but not in Mavericks. Found several answers but they all reply to before Mavercks.
This is helpful and yet I'm left with "Wow! Apple really can make simple things difficult. Who would have guessed."

Cannot Update BootCamp Drivers

I'm running windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2010 with Mac OS X 10.6. First I would like to know if theres anyway to check what version BootCamp drivers I have on my computer. I'm trying to update to the newest version (3.2), but when I run the exe file, it tells me "The BootCamp 3.2 Update requires Boot Camp 3.1 or greater. Please install Boot Camp 3.0 before proceeding with the install of the 3.2 Update"
After that I downloaded the 3.1 Update, It tells me I need the 3.0 Update, which I can't find on the Apple website.
How can I update my Windows Drivers? Thx

The first set of drivers comes from the OSX DVD or Stick while you are IN Windows. After that it is very important to update Windows (with a Firewall and Antivirus) through Windows Updates (Internet Explorer > Tools > Windows Update -OR- Start > Control Panel > Windows Updates). If your Windows Updates are up-to-date, click Start, then Programs, then Apple Software Updates.

Updated bootcamp drivers - lost 10 GB space?

Hi all,
Running a 2011 MBP, and I went through the agony of installing W7 on my extra internal HDD without the superdrive (shout out to apple, thanks a lot). Those familiar know the frustration. Anyway, I updated my bootcamp drivers (5.1.+), and noticed an approximate 10 GB decrease in drive space. Is there a way to clean up old drivers? I've checked everywhere I know, and I can't find any old residual files to remove nor does any sort of windows cleanup help (or shadow copies of system restores either). Or is the 5.1 update that bulky? Thanks in advance!

Is there a chance the hard drive has another partition that may have
been set up by using BootCamp or some other utility? If you choose
to look into the Mac HD and see the named partitions already on it,
(some will appear as additional separate hard drives) a few will be
curious but essential with OS X Recovery, among other, set apart and
in their own named hard drive partition.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
There are some utilities that could help find out what is using the 10GB
missing from the hard disk drive. A few are in the OS X itself, others are
out there which may or may not be worth their trouble; esp if acquired
from questionable sources, due to threat of adware or malware content.
I'd wonder if you didn't have a second bootcamp partition, or other space
occupied by other software, given the Windows and VMware use in it.
If you have a suitable complete backup on external sources, you could try
a fully new installation, and then for OS X content migrate from backup.
That may be a bit extreme. Before you try to be rid of unknown partitions
be sure they are not part of the main OS X installation, as that could be
helpful to have later on should you need to reinstall original OS X or use
the recovery section specific to that computer. If not already erased.
Is the issue with space in the main HDD or in the external where you put W7?
Good luck & happy computing!

Mail, App Store & Terminal won't open after OSX Mavericks Update

Hey,
Updated to OSX Mavericks yesterday - today Mail started crashing, found a solution but needed to use Terminal - which won't open. I thought OK, I'll reinstall OSX, but can't open the App Store either...
Does anyone know a solution to this one, or have a link to a direct (non App Store) download of OSX Mavericks.
I've tried Safe Boot and didn't help.
Thanks,
Eliot

I went to the Apple Store today and the genius recommended a new install of Mavericks, just do a time machine back up then hold down alt and go to the recovery drive then click reinstall or new install of Mavericks.
Note: This will take a long time it took 3 hours for my machine. When it prompts you to install the back up from time machine I would recommend unchecking the box that asks if you'd like to install with your settings. I have a hunch that what caused this problem in the first place was a corrupted file in the settings. Hope this helps..

Invisible cursor in illustrator 5.5 after OSX Mavericks update

Hi there,
I realised, that after update to OSX Mavericks (10.9) there is almost invisible type cursor (as you hit T and try to edit text) in my Illustrator CS 5.5. Have you experienced this problem too? Well, it is not invisible, but like 10% black on white backgroud. As you can see on attached picture, cursor actually IS there, but from the front, you can't see it... Any opinion or troubleshoot? https://www.dropbox.com/s/rbhf9j52iw8m1y9/cursor.jpg
Thank you very much!
Configuration is: MBA 13" mid-2013 (i7, 8GB RAM, HD 5000, OSX Mavericks), Adobe Creative Suit Standard for Students CS 5.5.

There have been atleast 3 posts in recent days about hard to see cursors, and atleast one of those posts mentioned new iMac. So i think you hti it on the hose that this is related to Mavericks.
You can system preferences >> accesibility >> Display
One tick mark should do it as it gets big really fast.
I hope to see a mac OS update in the near future, or that someone else finds a solution.
How do you like Mavericks otherwse, any good features?

Cannot update BootCamp Drivers 2.0 to 2.1

My computer is a 24 inch White iMac (Late 2006 model), Intel based.
My current system is OS X 10.5.8
Basically, I recently used BootCamp 2.0 to partition my drive and install Windows XP Professional, 32 bit (x86).
I read that the latest Windows Service Pack my installation can contain is SP2, so I proceeded, and with many help from people in this forum, I eventually succeeded, managed to install the BootCamp Drivers and everything, practically everything except this and one game (which I suspect cannot run on SP2) works perfectly.
However, I want to upgrade to SP3, and to do so, I need to install the BootCamp Drivers 2.1, which are available from this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL830
So I download the file, BCUpdateXP(.exe), but cannot run it, both on Windows and on disc when I burn the file to one.
Double clicking it does nothing.
So seeing it could be opened using Winrar, I did so, and saw two files: BCLocUpdateEnable.exe, which does nothing when I double click it, and BCUpdateXP.msp, which runs when double clicked, but quickly displays the message:
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded maybe missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. verify that the program to be upgraded exist on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
The only option is to click OK.
Trying to install SP3 without this update just brings up a message saying I am 4 megabytes short to install it, even though I have 16.2GB free, and I have found that the message is caused because I do not have this 2.1 update.
My current Windows system is: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpspsp2gdr.100216-1441 : Service Pack 2).
The issue is posted by a lot of people, but none of them have solutions. And as far as I know, I should meet all the requirements to run this update; using SP2, BootCamp Drivers 2.0 installed.
It would be great if someone can guide me through this, I am sure it will help a lot of people with the same problem.
Many Thanks,
From Lelouch

Update on what I have tried:
I have tried changing the settings on location, language, keyboard etc as a post suggested. - No use
Tried double clicking the actual downloaded .exe file. - Nothing happens
I have tried extracting and clicking on the .msp file. - Get error message: The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded maybe missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exist on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
I have tried doing what this post said:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1845
The command I have tried entering in the cmd.exe are:
msiexec /update C:\Documents and Settings\Lelouch\Desktop\BCUpdateXP\BCUpdateXP.msp
msiexec /update C:\Documents and Settings\Lelouch\Desktop\BCUpdateXP.exe\BCUpdateXP.msp
and both just bring up the Windows Installer window, and the button available to click on is OK, no Next as suggested by the help page.
Windows Installer only shows:
Windows ® Installer. V 4.5.6001.22159
msiexec /Option <Required Parameter> [Optional Parameter]
*Followed by a list of options.*
And the OK button.
I am tempted to try this:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and click String Value.
4. In the text box under the Name column, type BootDir and press ENTER.
5. Right-click the name BootDir, and then click Modify.
6. In the Edit String Value dialog box, type the drive letter for your system drive, and then click OK. For example, if your system drive is C:, type C:\.
7. Close Registry Editor.
to have Windows SP3 installed, but not sure if it is safe as it does say to have BootCamp 2.1 installed first, but BootCamp 2.1 just won't install of all the things I have tried.
Anyone know if it's safe to do this?
Thanks if anyone can help me solve this.
Many Thanks,

HT5639 Windows 8 already installed, can I only update Bootcamp drivers or must I reinstall?

If i already installed Windows 8 on the previous Bootcamp version, do I need to reinstall now with Bootcamp 5 to make trackpad, etc work? Or can I simply update the drivers within Windows 8? If I can simply just update the drivers, can someone please explain that process?W

On the evidence here you have the wrong version of the Boot Camp drivers?
Boot Camp 5.0.5033 is for Win 8 64bit, is this what you are using (download it here)
There is a sheet that will tell you which version of Boot Camp does what (here)
Verify and if needed download the version you need.
I will also repeat my earlier advice, If your installation is currently working, don't fix it.

Sync problem after OSX Maverick updating

since updating my Mac with OSX Maverick, blackberry sync is not working. Always getting the info " currently your computer sync is turned off, please turn on" . How can I do that ???

The Blackberry software is incompatible with Mavericks.

Updating bootcamp drivers

My macbook has vista installed using the bootcamp beta, and I've just tried to update the drivers with the Leopard DVD, unfortunately it doesn't seems to work.
It pops up a dialog stating "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'BootCamp.msi' in the box below."
The "box below" contains "E:\Mac Drivers\Drivers\Apple\", but I don't have an E drive. If I browse to BootCamp.msi on the disk it's in "D:\Drivers\Apple\", but using this just causes the dialog to continue coming up.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Cheers
Iain

I have, but I'm running Windows XP. Same issues exactly. Did you find a solution?

After OSX mavericks update my Finder app won't open !!

So after completng sucessfully the update for OSX mavericks I had an error on the Finder app (-600) wgich is now not allowing me to open the app and also my desktop files have also disappeared rom screen and I can only access these if I open in safe boot. Please hopefully someone can give me a step by step guide to fixing this as i am beginning to pull my hair out and cant get a genius bar appointment either.
Thanks for taking time to read.

Not knowing what you have tried, consider these two options:
One is a reload of Mavericks.
Two is to revert to your prior OS:

Login issues from sleep mode after OSX maverick update

After upgrading to OSX Maverick on my 13" MacBook Pro, I am having issues with logging in after it being in sleep mode. Everytime I close the screen to go somewhere and open it back up to continue what I was working on I type my password in (I am the only user, no other user accounts) it acts like the password is wrong and the only way to get logged in is to hold the power button down to shut the computer off then power it back up, then I can login.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
