Plese Help. Me have FAT 32 USB, ISO, Boot cam say can't install windows support software because the software update server "(null)" can't be found.
I know there are many other threads, but I guess I couldn't find clear answer to this problem. Is that the Apple's server problem or just me?
I'm trying to install Windows7 via Bootcamp, with FAT 32 formated USB with ISO, on Macbook air 2012.
Thanks!

The problem is the encryption and how your notebook handles it rather than a Time Capsule problem. I had similar problems until I updated the WLAN drivers on my IBM T41.
The way I convinced myself it wasn't an Apple problem was to connect my IBM T41, via ethernet, to my AEBSn. I was able to connect to internet so I knew it was a conflict between my wireless card and the AEBSn.
I am now using the WPA2 encryption for the AEBS without issue and connecting many different types of hardware; three iPod Touches, two MSI Wind Netbooks (Win XP SP3), one IBM T41 (Win XP SP2) wirelessly and both my 20" iMac and Dell 8250 Win XP (SP2) by ethernet
The MSI Winds are brand new and they would connect to the AEBSn but couldn't get an IP address from the internet (Limited or No Connectivity error message). The AEBSn was using WEP encryption. After doing a little research I found that WEP was a very common cause of this error message so I switched the AEBSn to WPA2 and everything works fine now.
Don't assume that because you can't connect via OPEN it isn't a encryption issue because my Winds wouldn't connect that way either...it wasn't until I changed to the WPA2 Personal that they connected.
You may also need to change the program that handles the WLAN connection, sometimes Windows handles it better but for the newest addition to our household, the MSI Winds, I am using the Realtek utility that matches the WLAN card and everything is hunky dory...
Finally sometimes firewalls will prevent getting the IP address...doesn't happen often but it has happened to me so I would double-check that by turning off the Windows Firewall and just verify that it isn't the firewall (that's never been a problem with my Apple AEBSn but it was a problem with an older Dlink g model).

  • Boot Camp won't install windows support software

    I have a MacBook 2006 with 4 gb of memory and a 2.0 ghz core 2 duo processor. It has a 7200 RPM 750 GB HD with a single partition running a clean install of os x lion. I have been trying to install windows 7 since Lion came out. If I tell boot camp to download software, It is almost done when I get an error telling me that software can't be installed. If I choose not to download software, I try to partition my HD and I get another error that I can't remember because I haven't tried in a week. I will post pictures in a day or two, but until then, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    From what I've read the "Download Update" option as you install Lion only works for some MBAirs and it's a hit or miss on all others. (mostly a miss).
    You might do a Search on the error you get as there are quite a few discussions on those problems.

  • Boot camp 4 can't install windows support drivers

    Hi everyone,
    I have the new imac 27" with thunderbolt and preinstalled Lion. They dont give you a CD.
    I run Boot Camp assistant (version 4.0) and try to install windows on a purchased DVD Windows 7 x64 ( i am a recent convert to mac but still need some windows proggys.)
    Ok so once I run the installation It asks me to download the windows support drivers... I do this but then it stops 3/4 through the process and comes up with an error "can't install windows support drivers".
    Do any of you out know how to fix this???
    Also If I dont use the option to update the software before installing and just select install windows 7 (second option) from a disc. It installs windows fine BUT it wont install any of the network, usb, camera, graphics and sound drivers. so basicaly I am blocked from the internet for windows to update the drivers. I also cant get the driver files from another computer as the mac in windows mode can recognised usb sticks as the drivers arent installed.
    I need help urgently on this as it is doing my head
    Thanks in advance.
    Daniel!

    Yes, but.
    Open Network Preferences>Network>Advanced>Proxies and uncheck everything (try Passive Mode on, and off, but no auto Proxies)
    And try again.

  • Boot Camp error: The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.

    Hi!
    I am getting the error:
    "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.  The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Jounraled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."
    I read up some on google, but all of them says that they have crated a partition and that is the problem, I only have the standard "Macintosh HD".
    I tried to create a partition manually in disk utility but then the error message: "Partition failed with error message: Could not unmount disk."
    Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy.
    Thanks.

    This message, and threads like yours got asked daily for over two years, now it is only a couple times a week!!
    Is it so hard to follow through? you were to have backup already, clones are best, then erase/format and restore.
    Then partition.
    Some have been able to use Disk Utility booted from OS X DVD or another drive, and repair the drive.
    You have to use Boot Camp Assistant (99.9% anyway) to create and achieve a proper Windows Master Boot Record partition.

    There are several possibilities.
    1. You do not have contiguous free disk space.
    2. BCA has failed, or you may have a Fusion drive which is causing problems.
    3. You have incorrect permissions on the disk.
    4. Can you boot in OS X Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support?

    The largest capacity HDD that you can install is the HGST 1.5 TB HDD:

    Any 2.5" 9.5mm thick SATA HDD will fit and operate in your MBP, regardless of capacity.

  • 2007 MBP 10.7.2 - Boot Camp "Can't Install Windows Support Software"

    For a few weeks now I've been trying to get Boot Camp going to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro.  Whenever I go through the assistant, I always get the message "Can't install Windows Support Software becuase it is not currently available from the Software Update server".
    The download bar does progress a bit as data is being downloaded, but then stops at about 15% and gives me that error message.   Any ideas?

    If you are on Yosemite, and have a CoreStorage volume (the default), it is not visible on the Windows side. The Apple HFS driver cannot read CS volumes.
    You can verify this by running the following command in OSX Terminal.
    diskutil cs list
    If you get any output, such volumes will not be visible.
    As a work around, if you really need it, check the 'Revertible' value. If it is yes, you can revert it to HFS+ by using the following command
    diskutil cs revert
    Here is the syntax for the command. The LVUUID parameter can be seen as a long string for your Logical Volume. Do not use the Logical Volume Group or any disk UUIDs. If you need the exact command, please post the output from the diskutil cs list command?
    diskutil cs revert
    Usage:  diskutil coreStorage revert
            MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode|lvUUID
            [-stdinpassphrase | -passphrase [passphrase] | -recoverykeychain file]
    Convert a CoreStorage logical volume back to its native type.
    The file system must be mounted and resizable (i.e. Journaled HFS+).
    Ownership of the affected disk and a passphrase (if encrypted) is required.

    If you want to use the "newest updated whatever available." then you would have to buy the newest hardware that supports that. iPad 2 is not the newest hardware available and it can't/does not support siri.

    im using a macbook pro 13-inch late 2011 with mac os x 10.7.2 which has bootcamp 4.i want to install 64-bit windows 8 on my mac.i found out you need boot camp 5 to install it.can i install windows 8 on bootcamp 4 and then update to boot camp 5 when running windows?or do i have to update to bootcamp 5 beforehand?if so,how do i do that?

    From Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
    Requirements for all Windows installations
    In order to install Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, you need the following:
    An Internet connection
    An administrator account in OS X to use Boot Camp Assistant
    The keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your Mac (If they aren’t available, use a USB keyboard and mouse)
    A minimum of 2 GB of RAM, 30 GB of free disk space are recommended if you are installing Windows for the first time, or 40 GB of free disk space if you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows
    An authentic Microsoft Windows full install disc or ISO file
    A built-in optical drive, or a compatible external optical drive is required if you are using an install disc
    8 GB USB storage device, or external drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) to install the downloaded drivers

  • Boot camp does not install windows 7 -

    I have created a partition with bootcamp - on my 250GB SSD - and put the slider to 41 Gb; I have the USB with the drivers inserted and the windows 7 disk (dvd?) inserted. When the retort happens, the windows installer starts (from dvd).
    First of all I see the partition is 98 Gb - way too much, leaves almost no room for the soft are disk.
    Then the installation does not commence, the partition is MS-DOS (FAT) (I checked with disk utility) while the partition should be NTFS (as windows expects). I does not allow me to select this partition.
    What should I do?
    I have had a working partition before on my HD, now - after I upgraded my iMAC - I wanted to install bootcamp/windows on my SSD.
    -> I know that I can delete the partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Then I am clean all over again. I hope.

    When creating a partition, Bootcamp assistant wants to also to install windows. That does not work because the error is there that it expects an NTFS file - and I am not going to reformat the partition using windows :-(
    Yes. Terribly sorry about that. I forgot that Boot Camp automatically goes into a setup sequence and boots to the Windows installation DVD. I never use Boot Camp when I want to create a Windows partition since I can do the same thing manually the way I want the drive to be.
    NTFS isn't a file, it's a format. Like FAT32 or Mac OS Extended (HFS+). Boot Camp will always create a FAT32 partition (called an MS-DOS partition in Disk Utility). Once it boots to the Windows DVD on the restart, your first step is to format the drive you just created in Boot Camp as NTFS. Then continue on with the install.
    What I should have written above as step two was to manually create a new partition with Disk Utility and format it as MS-DOS. Then you could have made it any size you wanted and gone right into restoring your Windows 7 backup with WinClone. Again, while not making the least bit of difference the partition was FAT32 rather than NTFS. Restoring your Win 7 backup would have made it NTFS when done.
    Since most folks aren't all that handy doing things manually, or just plain don't know how, Apple tries to simplify the process with Boot Camp. But the only part of it you really need is to create the drivers flash drive or disk. After that you can do the whole thing yourself, which is what I do.
    Anyway, once you did create the new partition with Boot Camp, you could have stopped the entire process and booted back into OS X. Then restored the WinClone backup to the FAT32 partition. That would saved you the time watching Windows 7 install when you're just going to completely replace that install anyway.

  • Boot Camp 5 Trouble installing Windows 7. Fails to install due to partition being GPT

    Using boot camp 5 I created a bootable USB for windows 7 professional. I followed the instructions up to choosing which partition to install on. Once I reformatted the boot camp partition, the installer said that windows could not be installed because the partition was of type GPT. This is a 64-bit version of windows so it should be able to be installed on a GPT partition. Any help is appreciated.

    You don't have to install Windows in a GPT volume. Boot Camp creates a FAT partition that makes Windows detect the hard disk as MBR, so it looks like your computer doesn't support the Windows installation with a USB drive.
    You can only install Windows with an external disk if your computer didn't come with a SuperDrive. Your MacBook Pro came with the SuperDrive, so you have to install Windows with a DVD

  • Can't install windows support softwares?? it just said some files are corrupted and ask me to download a fresh copy, but i have tried many times and still failed!
