Why does Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 have AMD Catalysit Control Center in its update?

Before this Boot Camp Support software, the included drivers were for Intel. I have an iMac with Intel i3. But with the software update, it doesn't include a driver for Intel but instead AMD. That doesn't make sense. Anyone know the issue?
Thank you

I was told to just buy OEM copies but my frustration is that I'm already $200 in OS's because of the information that was provided to me by apple personnel and told by a senior tech that this still can be done.
So to say I'm going to be S.O.L and spend another $100 (for a total of $300 and 2 OS's that are usless to me; because the first time i was told that i could use Windows 8 and when the drivers did not work i was told that Windows 8 is not supported by boot camp drivers at this time so i have to go buy windows 7) I might as well return the $2,500 system and just go back to PC and get a $900 dollar PC system.
I will continue to work with the senior tech that i'm currently working with because the other issue is that OSX 10.8.1 will not except the OSX 10.8.2 update stating that it is not supported by OSX which i was told "that's strange"

Blue screen while installing Boot Camp support software in Win7 Ultimate x64

2012 macbook pro with OSX Mavericks. Installing Win7 ultimate x64 using boot camp assistant and a USB drive went flawlessly. Then I downloaded and installed the boot camp support software from support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
Running setup.exe bluescreens my computer and makes the windows partition unbootable after that, even in safe mode. I performed a system restore to roll back the boot camp software and booted again, and checked the log file. It pointed to an intel USB driver. I then deleted IntelxHCI from the Drivers/Intel folder, ran setup.exe again, and everything installed perfectly.
My question is: what is the Intel usb 3 extensible host controller, why is it included in the support software, and why does it immediately brick my Windows partition?

I have re-installed Windows 7 about 20 times already, I am experiencing the same problem as you are. The issue must be some kind of driver being installed by Boot Camp. When I leave my fresh Windows 7 install with no Boot Camp, the error or blue screen never occurs. This is weird.
Help please Apple...

Windows 8 Boot Camp support software

Good day, I have installed Windows 8 successfully on my Macbook, [OS X Mountain Lion] using Boot Camp assistant. When I got to the step to install the Boot Camp Support software with the CD I created during installation through bootcamp, a pop up message appeared: "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model." I am stuck in Windows at the moment, there is no way to restart in Mac OS X now, I have tried the hold down the option key while restarting too, it doesn't work.
1. how can I get to restart in Mac again?
2. where can I download the correct Boot Camp support software for this computer for Windows 8? [macbook pro with retina display; OS X Mountain Lion]
thanks

Reboot, hold the X key when you hear the chime, hold it until the computer starts to boot in OSX

Windows 8 is not yet supported, there are no drivers, wait for them or use Windows 7.

Can I download boot camp support software outside of boot camp assistant?

I've been able to install windows 7 with boot camp assistant and an external cd/dvd drive. I have not, however, been successful at downloading and applying the boot camp support software. It has either not loaded onto a USB drive, or will refuse to write to a CD. Is there a solution to this, and/or can I download the up-to-date support software from another machine, burn it to disc and run it in windows (as older versions ex. 3.1, seem to be .exe files)?

Can you use this link Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support or Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033?

Where can I download Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4131?

When I try to download the software it says the link cannot be found.

Does Boot Camp support Windows 8.1 Update 1?

Now that the update is out is it safe to update Windows 8.1 to the Update 1 (since it's mandatory) or does Boot Camp yet not support it?

Confirmed... no problems.. install took a long time... but all is well.

Why does Boot Camp think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

I'm surprised I'm finding no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.
Something worth noting is that I recently upgraded to a bigger internal hard drive, and before doing so, I deleted the Boot Camp volume. I innocently thought I'd just do a fresh install sometime after replacing the hard drive, but hindsight tells me that I might have fallen victim to my own ignorance.
Is there a value stored in a register somewhere that's telling my OS that I have more than one partition when I really don't? Can someone out there help me do battle against my ignorance?
I'd be grateful for any help that can be sent my way...

Your welcome and good luck finding the solution. BTW as a newbie you benefit from:
Switch 101 & Mac 101.
Also you may want to reassess to see if you really need Windows on your computer. Remember if you install it you have all the issues every Windows users has to deal with. When I switched almost 4 years ago I installed Windows too but now I only turn it on to see if it still works. Of course your situation is different you may have proprietary software only designed for Windows and have to have it installed.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have a Mid 2010 MacBook. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
As you are using OS X Lion, you can only use Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you can only install a 32 or 64-bit Windows 7 version (you can't run Windows XP, Vista or 8 with Boot Camp). The best way to get the Boot Camp drivers is to open Boot Camp Assistant and download the Windows support software from here. If not, you can also download these drivers from this Apple site > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1634

Is my partition table corrupt? Why does Boot Camp hate me?

Hi folks
I have an iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) (iMac11,3, with Boot ROM IM112.0057.B01).
I replaced the internal SuperDrive with an SSD, which is now my primary boot device:

So far so good.
I want to use the original internal HDD both to run Windows in Boot Camp mode, and to have a partition for my bulk data that doesn't need to be on the SSD.
I reformatted the HDD as a single HFS+ partition, GUID partition table.
I used BCA to create a Windows USB boot device from the Windows 8.1 media after following the hacking in this link.
When the iMac restarted after creating the 250Gb Windows partition on the internal HDD, I got the "no boot device" screen.
I restarted holding Option/Alt and booted from EFI Boot on the USB stick. Windows installer started, at least. Serial number accepted, on to picking a location.
The installation balked when I tried to select the BOOTCAMP partition, with the warning that the disk was formatted as MBR - eh? Why?
So, the current state of the internal HDD must be wrong somehow, but I don't see how to fix it (confidently) and would like someone to point me in the right direction (please!)

Thanks to Loner T and some more reading, I think I'm now sorted out.
I found that marking the first partition on the USB stick as Active made no difference - my only option was to boot from the "EFI boot" option at startup (when holding down the alt/option key).
So to get the Windows installer to behave, I used gdisk to write a new protective MBR before rebooting to the USB stick, as shown below.
With the protective MBR in place (rather than hybrid), the Windows installer was happy to reformat the chosen partition and the installation began.
I'll try to report back once all is installed and working, but once again I owe my sanity to the generosity and patience of strangers!

Why does Boot Camp Assistant already think I have more than one partition on my hard drive?

Greetings...
I'm surprised I've found no remedy for this problem in my searches so far. My symptom is that when I run the Boot Camp Assistant app, I get the following error message:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition." The instructions that are provided along with the error message are: "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
When I try to follow the instructions, I see that Disk Utility shows my drive as having a single partition. Nevertheless, I've backed up my Macintosh HD volume, re-artitioned the drive into a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume (once using the Snow Leopard Installation disk and once using Drive Genius 3), and restored my Macintosh HD volume. After all that, I still get the same error message. I even defragged my hard drive, which seems to have helped some users I've read about, but it hasn't helped me.

I used DG3 to initialize the HD, which essentially erases the disk if I understand correctly. I haven't used Superduper before, so perhaps that's worth looking into.
I did mentioned the use of DG3 to ensure that I had a single disk partition. I guess the restore from a clone or Time Machine was implied...
;o)
Thanks for putting some effort into helping me. I'll look at Superduper and let you know if that gets me anywhere...

Why does Boot Camp not recognize Windows ISO image(s) ?

Dear friends,
My intention is to install Windows 7 on my Mac
(I've several Windows OS .iso images)
in the "BOOTCAMP" called partition, created by Boot Camp 3.0 application, on my internal drive.
This is a 32 GB partition, being FAT32 formatted,
but any version of Windows 7 (when installing)
will surely want to be on an NTFS volume and reformat it.
I've already burned 3 ISOs, with Toast Titanium 10.0.7 (speed : 2x, less not possible), on 3 DVDs :
— 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x64 (with folders and strict ISO 9660 names) ;
— 1 DVD -RW with W7 Enterprise x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone ;
— 1 DVD -R with W7 Ultimate x86 (32-bit) with one unique ISO, alone.
*Boot Camp doesn't recognize these discs as Windows installation DVDs*,
and so does nothing but wait.
I'm sure that something is missing on the disks to be recognized
as bootable Windows installation discs,
but I absolutely don't know what (setup.exe, for example, or another .exe file ?).
Do I have to do something with the burning options
(strict ISO 9660 naming, Mac names authorized, Hybrid Mac and PC,
Joliet names or not, folders or not, etc.)
Do I have to do something with the ISO image (any ISO I have), and how, and what ?
I've also activators and many other things (.exe files),
but I think they have to be used AFTER installation.
Thank you very much in advance for your help !
With my kind regards,
Olivier Herrbach

Dear baltwo,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I'll go there immediately. It's obvious for me that only one .iso file, alone on a DVD, can't be sufficient, comparing with +(but I don't know what)+ is on a Microsoft Windows Install DVD.
With my kind regards
Olivier Herrbach
PS : I didn't have any time to reply to anyone, when I asked "How can I move something (copying it) without leaving original in it's place ?". Someone had the answer : "Drag and hold down cmd while releasing mouse". OK, it works, but you have to have good nerves, because folders open when doing that (I changed delay in Finder Preferences to the slowest), and there's also another inconvenient : I don't trust in copy (I want a one by one byte result), so I have to write what Get Info says BEFORE, and compare it after that with what Get Info says. In this case, I prefer to return to my old habits.
PPS : I observed, and I will tell it somewhere when possible, that *Get Info gives false informations*.
For example, I copied a folder with 58 items inside. Get Info didn't give me the same number of bytes for the copy as for the original. So, I did Get Info for *EACH of the 58 items*, wrote the results (in bytes) on a paper, and after adding *all the bytes of the copy*, found THE SAME NUMBER *as the total size of the original.* That's how I waste my time !
Good evening, hoping to read you somewhere soon.

Does Boot Camp Support PXE Booting?

Where is iso file in boot camp support download to copy to usb drive?

I am attempting to install Windows 7 professional 64 bit on a 21" imac. I have downloaded boot camp support software 5.0.5033. I have a 4gb flash drive installed. When I run boot camp I am asked to install a iso image. I can not find an iso image. I have tried using msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/x17-59186.iso and let it run for up to 4 hours and I get a message that the server cannot be found.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
