Was Bootcamp updated in Mac OS X 10.7.2?

Hi,
I was wondering if Apple updated Bootcamp Assistant in the Mac OS X 10.7.2 update.
Thanks for your assistance!

It may not matter.
What do you want or need? to partition? hoping for new drivers?
Apple pushes drivers when you run any version of Boot Camp Assistant, or once in Windows via Software Update there.
It was sort of an off-topic question. Is that I was awre that Apple had a different version of Bootcamp Assistant installed in the 2011 Mac Mini and MacBook Air which was labeled as 4.0.1, while the other Macs that had the first build of Lion had only the 4.0.0 version. I thought that the 10.7.2 update may had perhaps bumped the Bootcamp Assistant verson to 4.0.1. I have yet to reinstall Windows 7 on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro.
By the way, which bootcamp drivers your reccomend me to download, the one downloaded by Bootcamp Assistant, or the ones that came in my bundled Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD?

  • HT5271 was this update for mac using 10.5.8

    if I don't find a better solution I'll try your 2nd option but what do you mean by "combo" update?
    My understanding is to simply insert the OS 10.5 installation CD, reinstall the OS and the just keep updating it via the OS SSoftware update panel and stop untill I see the scary Java 8 update. Is that what you meant?
    While you can do it that way, the combo update picks up operating system updates through a collection of releases. When dealing with operating system upgrades, I've found using the combo updates to be more reliable than Software Update, as sometimes Software Update doesn't apply updates correctly, and weird things can happen. Doesn't happen often though, thankfully.
    So the OS X 10.5.5 Combo update contains all updates between 10.5.0 and 10.5. The 10.5.8 combo update contains the updates from 10.5 thru 10.8. Here are the updates:
    10.5 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL692
    10.8 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
    If you go down the combo path, repair permissions before and after doing each update. Then do Software Update for any other non-OS X updates, and don't apply the Java Update 8.

  • My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

    My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
    I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

    EDIT: RESOLVED
    For anyone else who finds their way here like I did, this link did it for me: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/527599/windows-8-issues-solved-please-r ead-if-you-39-re-having-black-screen-and-or-flickering-/
    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

    And you can read from OS X and do some backups.
    If you modified your partitions, that is one reason it isn't working.
    Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    That works for OS X. There are other programs and methods for Windows.
    Someone posted the commands to run from Windows DVD to fix / edit BCD.
    That was just a couple days ago, should be easy to find.

    Hi,
    I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
    Exit Code 15
    OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
    I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
    I tried the adobe removal tool
    removing all copies of adobe software manually
    installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
    A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
    /Library/Application Supports/Adobe
    They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
    Cheers,

  • HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

    I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update.   Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1.  Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional.  Advice?

    I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
    If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
    I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

  • Iphoto can't be opened now after downloading updates.  Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

    Can someone help me figure out how to get my iphoto open again.  It says...Error message: "Iphoto can't be open because of a problem. " Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently.  Can I get my document with all my information back?

    I suggest the easy stuff first:
    1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
    2) reboot the computer
    After that try opening the same document in another user space

  • "a new security update was installed on your Mac"

    I was using my Macbook Pro this morning, and the update bar came up on the right top screen, so I said "remind me tomorrow".
    Less than a minute later, a box popped up in the same place which says "Security Update Installed A new security update was installed on your Mac"
    I am submitting the question because I haven't had this message before, nor did I authorize an update this morning.
    Is this malware or a new service in OS X Yosemite 10.10.1?
    Also, when I tried logging into the apple forums using my keycode and password, it said my account is locked for security reasons.  I logged in the old fashioned way, typing my information and got in.
    Thank you!

    It is possible that  the recent security update was installed automatically.
    You can verify it. If the info is as shown below, there is nothing to worry.
    Click  in the menu bar.

  • I recently was given an old mac Mini from a friend, but iPhoto is not installed, and it is too old a version to support a current update - what can I do?

    I was recently given a Mac Mini from a friend.  It is an old version (model A1176) and cannot support a current version of iPhoto from the app store.  It originally came with iLife, but was apparently wiped when they cleaned the hard drive to give it to me, and they cannot find the CD to reload it.  I can no longer find iLife '11 in the app store.  Is there anything I can do to be able to store photos from my iPhone onto the computer?

    You Model does not support the latest iLife
    What specific Mini do you have? The A1179 covers three models
    How to identify Mac mini models
    The early and late 2006 can only go to 10.6.8 but the mid 2007 can go to Lion. With Lion you can get iPhone from the Mac App Store by:
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    Otherwise you will have to call Apple and order the iLife DVD or get a DVD from Amazon or other places.

  • When I move a harddrive with Bootcamp from my mac pro to my macbook, windows doesn't work

    I have a 13" Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook and the topcase-keyboard doesn't work and so for some reason, it makes it impossible for me to install windows on the bootcamp partition. While the windows installer is running, it doesn't recognize usb keyboards. So I decided to install windows 7 professional on that same drive using my Mac Pro. The installation worked perfectly.
    Then I take that harddrive and I move it back to my MacBook and windows won't start up correctly, stating that something has changed (of course!...duh).
    Can anyone help me with a workaround for this?
    Has anyone had similar problems moving a windows partition in bootcamp from one mac to another?
    How can I install windows on a MacBook without a working topcase?
    I've posted this question to the Snow Leopard community because that's the OS I'm using.

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

  • How to clone bootcamp partition on Mac?

    Hello!
    I currently have a 200GB bootcamp partition on my 2TB internal iMac hard drive. I want more space for my windows partition. I have a spare 500GB Hard drive laying around, and was wondering if there was a way that I could clone the bootcamp partition from my iMac onto that drive. I'd still want it to be bootable.That way I could have an extra 300GB of space without sacrificing my internal HD. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks!

    Mac OS Yosemite and Win8.1 on external Thunderbolt/USB 3 drive.
    How to:
    Remember before you start: Make sure you have updated backups on everything involved, unmount all not necessary drives. during the different stages unmount the drive not working on i.e. if you are doing things on the  external unmount the internal. Take your time and be sure to choose the right drive and partition so you don’t mess everything up.
    1. Update all Mac OS updates from Mac App Store.
    2. Run Boot Camp on internal (original) drive, including make a USB stick drivers for Win (Can take forever on a slow USB stick, but will get there) Install Windows from DVD or similar (I did from a bought DVD, no OEM allowed)
    3. Test-run and configure and add all updates for Windows and installing an Antivirus app is also good to do.
    4. Install a new fresh Mac OS on an external USB or Thunderbolt drive (or use CarbonCopyCloner to get a copy of internal Mac OS)
    5. Check the new external Mac OS by rebooting to it. if Ok, reboot to internal again.
    6. Run WinClone 4 and make an image file from the Boot Camp to an image file to your desktop.
    7. Run Disk Utility and select your external drive, Choose the Partition tab, click the + below the main (only partition), select the space between the now two partitions and drag upp or down until lower parts size is at least a tad bigger than the original Boot Camp volume or bigger. Select the new partition and rename it and choose to format it to MS-DOS FAT. Execute.
    8. Run WinClone again and choose your new image-file, and target your new FAT-partition on the external drive.
    9. Reboot the Mac, and when screen goes black, press and hold the alt-button until the startup drives is shown, select the new Windows disk on your external drive. If all ok your computer will start on Windows on your external drive. When running Windows goto your USB-stick open the Boot Camp folder and run the setup.exe.
    When all seems to work ok reboot again and this time to your internal Mac OS.
    10. When in your internal Mac OS, run the Boot Camp app again and make sure only the Remove Win8xx is checked, run and the Boot Camp will be removed on your Mac drive.
    Check-run everything agan.
    Thats how I did it, might be easier way but at least I’m a happy camper now :-)
    So now I have the options to run Mac OS on my internal drive, run Mac OS on my external together with Parallels Desktop and Windows 8.1 in a virtual or just run Windows only on the external drive (best for gaming etc in windows)
