Where are the Boot Camp Drivers?

Running Boot Camp 3.0.4 and it gets to the part about drivers. Download drivers doesn't work and the drivers don't seem to be anywhere on my original Snow Leopard install discs. Anybody have a clue how to proceed from here?

The drivers are on the original disc, not the download.
Boot Windows, insert the disc and run Seup.exe (if it does not Autostart)

Where are the Boot Camp Update 3.3 release notes?

I got a prompt on my Windows 7 install about an update. States to go to the boot camp support page for release notes. Went to the boot camp support page and no release notes. Saw link "Boot Camp Software Update 3.3 for Windows" (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1443) and I can download from there but again, it doesn't show what exactly is in it other than "critical bug fixes and hardware support". Then it says for more information to go to the main boot camp support page.
So where the heck do I go to actually SEE what was fixed in the release?!

As far as I can find out, only Apple knows the details about 3.3 .

Are the boot camp drivers on the Macbook install disk only...

...for the macbook? Or does it have the drivers for other macs too like the imac.
Thanks

Thanks in bunches, guys. Almost everything is working, I need help in one more things that's driving me nuts.
I've been able to install sound, bluetooth, and I'm able to do a right click. But for some reason, I still can't scroll and the buttons on the keyboard (i.e. the eject button), still won't work.
There are two trackbad drivers. One is called multitouch and one just called track pad. Which one of those should I install?

How to separately backup the Boot Camp drivers partition from Leopard DVD?

I used Disk Utility and my only (and expensive) DVD+R DL disc to make a backup copy of my Leopard DVD, and it worked perfectly to install Leopard on my MacBook Pro.
However, that was before I learned that the Boot Camp drivers was now on a separate, PC-only partition on the DVD. So while my backup copy works great to install Leopard, I have no backup of the Boot Camp driver CD.
I tried several tricks, including booting into Windows Vista and using PowerISO to attempt to make an ISO image of the Boot Camp driver partition (shows up as 400 MB or so). However, the ISO image generated is a whopping 7.6 GB, same size as the full Leopard DVD. I then tried to take that back into the Mac OS side, but it was "unmountable". Toast 8 was able to make an image of the full DVD that (I'd presume, as did previous versions of Toast) would contain both partitions of an ISO-9660 volume, but when I mounted that disk image with Toast 8, I didn't get the two-mounted-volume like I'd normally expect to see.
I'd really like to know how to backup this volume - I demo this system regularly on my MacBook for clients, and I don't want to have to keep using my nice, pristine Leopard DVD when I have to do my weekly re-install. Any thoughts on how to get a simple extraction of the actual volume used for the Boot Camp drivers?
Thanks much for the time,
MBJ

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question! Although I think your steps will "work", per se (and I will try them out as soon as I can), I'm something of a purist in regards to my backups and so this method seems a little hackish as opposed to a process that actually images the volume in question (I'm also curious from a technical perspective, as the Boot Camp Assistant Beta used to allow for a dedicated MacintoshDrivers disc to be burned from it—I liked that method better, to be honest).
Thanks again! I'll keep checking back here for other comments, and will let you know how the method you suggested works out.
Best wishes,
MBJ

Where are the Touch Screen Drivers for HP Pavilion TouchSmart Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion 15-n210dx TouchSmart Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
Need the Touch Screen Drivers, where are they?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank you for your quick response.
None of the offerred solutions work, please see screen captures.
First Screen Capture: Computer does not recognize that a TouchScreen is an active device. [This indicates a driver is damaged and/or missing]
Second Screen Capture: There are no Tablet PC Settings available. [This confirms that the driver is missing]
HP needs to upload TouchScreen Drivers to its' support downloads immediately.

Can the Boot Camp Drivers be installed independently of each other?

I am having major issues with Boot Camp 3.1. It seems to put the windows 7 side of my mac to sleep immediately upon boot up. I have isolated the problem to Boot Camp and I was wondering if I could remove individual drivers to isolate which driver is causing the problem.
thanks,
C

Hi,
the Driver Setup program cannot do this so you would have to do this yourself "by hand".
For that copy the full content (files and folders) of the BootCamp Driver package from your OSX Install DVD to a folder on your Windows partition.
I prefer something like "c:\download" for this.
After that go through the appropriate Folders for the hardware components in your Mac and install each driver by hand.
Have you already tried the Safe-Boot options of WIndows 7 as described here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-s afe-mode especially the Safe Mode and the Enable Boot Logging to determine if it is indeed a Driver problem or maybe some kind of startup item ?

Where are the Qualcomm Gobi Drivers for Windows 7 ?

I have a T400 that I just in-place upgraded to Windows 7. Various unpleasant things happened, but the one I'm working on first is that the CDMA card (Qualcomm Gobi) no longer works. The driver has the yellow exclaimation thing. So to Lenovo's driver download site. Good news, there's a Windows 7 driver listed. However, there's no actual file (!!). I get to this page : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-69999.html with the title :This package provides the Wireless WAN driver to enable the following adapters.
- Qualcomm HS-USB
However, it then says below:
No available downloads
So Lenovo folks, where is the driver ?

Download the pdf version of the manual.
Much easier to find stuff than the online version.

How can I download the boot camp drivers for windows 7 64-bits?

I have a macbook pro Retina (no disk tray) purchased in mids 2012. I have no internet access on my macbook since my wifi is a cablemodem one.
And the whole problem is that I've recently installed a copy of windows 7 64bits using BOOT CAMP and I can't reboot my PC to access my MAC OS X disk!!
Please, help!!!!!!!!

Did you try booting while holding down the Option key?

Where are the HP 2600n Drivers

I have a new HP Color Laser 2600n printer. It is attached to a Airport Adapter.
I added Bonjour to my Windows XP computer and it can see the printer and print to the printer. When I installed it via Bonjour, the install process asked for the driver CD, which I inserted and it installed all the drivers. Windows prints well to this printer.
On my mini running Mac OS 10.4, when I go to the add printers, it finds the printer just fine. However in the third pulldown box (which I assume is equivalent to drivers) there is no HP 2600n listed. There is a 2500 and 2550. I've tried both and neither one of them will work.
How am guessing I need to load the drivers? I did insert the CD that came with the printer and it installed some stuff, but when I select Add printers, it DOES find the printer but I don't have the correct pulldown box available.
Any suggestions? One would think that if a Windows PC could run Bonjour and print to it, my mini could do the same.

Is there somewhere I have to load/copy drivers?
No, sorry - the symptoms you see mean OS X doesn't recognize the 2600. You can't load anything of any use other than by the installer.
Let's back up. Why, for example, are you tryng to use a network printer as a USB printer? Windows and OS X use Bonjour differently in this regard - Windows connects using standard TCP/IP (the Express/Extreme can use TCP/IP port 9100). OS X connects to an Express/Extreme printer using USB port redirection over TCP/IP - an Apple-unique protocol (Discovery is via Bonjour, but that's the end of the similarity).
Can you connect the 2600 by ethernet? I believe that would solve the problem.

I have an older Mac Pro (2006). I want to install Boot Camp and Windows. I have installed a boxed Snow Leapord on the machine. And it says the download of the Boot camp drivers cannot continue because they are not available. But at that point I have not inserted a windows disk, so how does it know i have XP?
So it appears I am limited to Windows 7? And where are the Windows 7/Boot Camp Drivers? On the OS disk?
Finally, since I have necer considered Windows 7 before, I assume there are no compatability issues with mainstream applications that were running in XP?
Thank you.

You're welcome
Just remember to reformat the partition (bootcamp partition) to NTFS with the windows installer, ensure to pick the correct partition.

Windows 8 crashes and with the error "kernel_security_check_failure" after installing Boot Camp drivers.

Hi!
I've got a new 27" iMac (late 2013), and I was going to install Windows 8.1 (64-bit) to be able to play a few games.
Everything went smoothly (installed normally via Boot Camp Assistant), and after the Windows setup, the Boot Camp drivers needed to be installed. After this, the computer rebooted, but crashed at a blue screen with the error called "kernel_security_check_failure".
It rebooted a few times on its own, but after a few times, I got some options, and I chose to "refresh" the Windows 8 install, meaning it would reset the install while keeping my files (even though I didn't have any, as I never got to use it). This took some time, but it worked, and it booted into W8.
The Boot Camp drivers had been removed though, so I had to reinstall them. After they had reinstalled, the computer rebooted and the same blue screen with the same error hit me.
Something tells me that some of the BC drivers are messing things up. I can't find any information on this elsewhere.
Would it be possible to install only selected drivers, to eventually find out which driver is causing the problem?
All help is greatly appreciated!

I finally gave up, reloaded everything, this time, using WIn 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise. After I did the updates, patches, Norton 360, shut computer down and connected the external drives, and booted up...and got the BSOD. This time, I went to Microsoft and downloaded the Windows Debugger, and think I may have found the problem...NORTON!

Boot Camp drivers for windows (download)

I am trying to instal windows 7 on my MacBook Pro thru Boot Camp. Does anyone know where I can download the Boot Camp drivers for windows. I can't find them on the apple website and I don't have my Mac OS X instal DVD with me.
Thank you

Only if you don't mind a Windows system lacking most features and thus beaing nearly unuseable.
Applying the appropriate drivers for hardware support is a must for all operating systems.
