Windows 7 Home Premium under bootcamp on OSX 10.6.8 no internet connection, no drivers found?

I installed bootcamp, Windows 7 Home Premium on my Macbook Pro 13" 2011 model running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard with latest updates) and cannot manage to make an internet connection. Cannot locate any drivers on either the Windows CD nor under the installation. Just a plain zero. For me, this amounts to being utterly useless. I tried the trial version of Parallels and got the same result. What, if anything, am I doing wrongly or is this just one of those impossible things to actually accomplish? This has been very frustrating and one of the reasons I bought the Mac in the first place was interoperability with Windows so I can use my extensive collection of photo manipulation applications. As it is I might as well not have bothered.

Use this set of drivers and put on FAT Flash memory card to access.
They will work and better due to your having a 2011 model you should consider Lion OS eventually.
Can't locate? the Apple Setup.exe or Bootcamp.msi (Bootcamp64.msi for 64-bit) will only be accessible when in Windows.

HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

Bootcamp and windows 7 home premium

I am planning on installing windows 7 home premium with bootcamp for my macbook pro retina display (mid2012) OSX 10.8.2
The question is which version will work?
I have looked on amazon and there is the normal version that was 199.99 and they droped to around 160 something
Then i see plenty of other version of windows 7 home premium that say "system builder DVD 1 pack" or OEM version and they are only $95-ish
I know that i dont want to buy the windows 7 upgrade i just want to install the OS on my mac..... The upgrade and that "system buidler" are both under $100 which makes me think that they are something else then the disks to install windows 7 home premium on my mac.
Anyone know the differences?

I bought a Windows 7 home premium SP1 64-bit OEM software disk for $95. I installed it onto my MacBook Pro using bootcamp and the install worked perfectly without any problems. During the install process you'll need to type in the product key that comes with the Win 7 disk. After the install was complete I clicked on "Activate Windows via internet" and after a second a message came back saying that Windows is now activated.
As others have mentioned, my install of Win 7 OEM is now married to this specific computer. I cannot install this OEM version onto another computer. If you plan on replacing your mac in the near future buying the full retail version of Win 7 is a better bet since you can install the retail version onto a newer computer.
My MacBook Pro is brand new so I won't have a need to move the Win 7 to another computer. I hope this helps.

Internet Information Services 7.5 on Windows 7 Home Premium

I am working with the following on a desktop PC: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, SQL Server 2008 Express SP4 and R2 Trial Edition SP3. In IIS 7.5 (v7.5.7600.16385) on Windows 7 Home Premium, is it possible to
create more than one website? I recently found an IIS tutorial which seemed to suggest that it is possible, bearing in mind that there is no DNS server present to resolve host headers and website names. Or, should I use the Default Web Site
with Applications and Virtual Directories? Thank you.

Request for help connecting tungsten T3 to Windows 7 Home Premium

I have been using the tungsten T3 for years. Most recently I am switching over to a newer computer that has Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. I am no longer able to connect. I received an error message saying, "the connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." The version of the Palm desktop that I have installed is 4.1.2. Thank you for your recommendations.

It always Bootcamp asistent 4 doesn't recognize Windows 7 Home Premium install disc

Hi there,
I've search half a day for answers in already existing threads but haven't found a solution, so now I dare ask this question.
I have a Imac Mac OSX 10.7.5
Processor 2,7 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory RAM 4GB 1333 MHs DDR3
I want to install with Bootcamp (version 4) Windows 7 Home Premium but after have tried numerous times Boot camp says that it cannot find the installation disc. I downloaded an ISO version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit from the website http://best-windows.vlaurie.com/boot-disks.html#full
and burned it on DVD-RW 4.7GB (TX). I also tried various other versions which I burned but with the same result. I wonder it's the type of DVD I use or the versions. Bootcamp doesn't accept burned installation discs?
If somebody can help me I would be thankful
greetings
Guy

Unfortunately, you can't buy just a key. Well, large organizations can get site license codes, or multiple individual codes so they aren't buying hundreds of boxes of media when you only need one, or a few for distribution. If you were able to get a working disk put together from the download, you'll only be able to get a short way into the installer, and then you'll be stuck.
The only other way to legitimately purchase a key is if you already own a legal copy of the OS, and just want another key so you can install Windows on another computer without buying another box. For that, you contact Microsoft where they can verify the key you already have (you read it to them, of course), and they will then sell you another key.
The sure way to have it work of course is to buy a copy of Win 7. It has to be a full retail copy, not an upgrade box. There is a way to use an upgrade disk, but you also must have a legitimate previous version the Win 7 installer can see. Meaning, you need two DVD drives. I did find a few sites selling just activation keys, but they were of course all illegal as the sites had nothing to do with Microsoft.
1) When looking for Win 7, be very careful on eBay. Purchase only an unopened box. Otherwise, chances are high the key has already been used by someone else.
2) There are system builder versions, such as you see listed here. Those are OEM disks that were supposed to be bundled with the sale of a particular PC model. Microsoft themselves say you can purchase these OEM disks and use them, but they are a one time installation. Once the key has been used, it is tied to that specific hardware. So if you were to get a new Mac and wanted to install Win 7 again, you wouldn't be able to from that disk. You can find these all over the place ranging from $85 to $95.
Be forewarned that full retail (non system builder OEM copies) of Win 7 have gotten very pricey.

I have a 2008 iMac with Bootcamp 5.0 and I am trying to install windows 7 home premium 64 bit on it. How do I go about this?

I have been having trouble installing Windows 7 Home Premium on my 2008 iMac while using BootCamp. It has OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. Every time I try and use bootcamp I come across a blank black screen with a flashing white curser in the top left hand corner after it has restarted. If anyone knows a solution to this that would be great.

Dreamweaver 8 under Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi there.
I've been using Dreamweaver 8 under XP very happily for several years but have recently upgraded to a new machine running Windows 7 Home Premium. Dreamweaver 8.0 installs OK but when I try to run the patch to upgrade to 8.0.2, I get an error message to the effect that the wizard was interrupted and failed to install. The main issue with this is that the web site management set up fails to save the user name and password, which is a bit of a pain.
I've read that by upgrading to Windows 7 Professional and installing the XP Emulator that this problem *MAY* be resolved, but I'm reluctant to pay the additional cost if it doesn't actually work.
Has anyone any experience of solving this problem, and how did they do it please?
Regards
Phil

Phil, try this:
- Unzip the 'unwrapped' installer to a folder that is easily reachable by the command prompt (file patchpackage.msp)
- Open up a command prompt as an Administrator. (Right click the icon and choose run as Administrator)
- Navigate to where the patchpackage.msp is located and type in the following and press enter:
msiexec /update patchpackage.msp
The patch, after a short delay, will begin to install. During the install you may be asked for the CD because it will look for the Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.msi file although I didn't get that as the copy of DW8 was a download purchase rather than disk.
Once the install is complete 8.0.2 will be installed.

With Boot Camp, should I install the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium edition) OR the 32 bit version when installing onto an early 2008 Mac Pro operating OSX Lion with a 1 TByte internal HDD?

With an early 2008 Mac Pro I'm about to add a second internal drive (1 TByte SATA) and initially install OSX Lion onto the new drive. Then to partition this new HDD via Boot camp. But my question is whether I am best advised to purchase the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium) or the 32 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium) for the Windows sector of the disk What are the differences, and will I notice a difference in performance?

In chart from wiki, (scroll down to "Comparison chart") check the maximum CPUs supported.
You don't see this on MSoft's 1st searched for chart hit. This is one reason you will regret not paying for Professional+ if you get Home Premium 64 as I did for Mac Pro early 2008.
Home Prem Task Mgr sees 4 processors vs. the 8 that are seen by Pro+.
Costs more than a Mac upgrade to Lion if you make that mistake.

Photoshop 6 & 7 does not install under Windows 7 Home Premium

I recently updated from Vista Home Premium SP2 to Windows 7 Home Premium.
Now I need to re-install my Adobe Photoshop 6 to be able to upgrade to Photoshop 7.
When I try to run the Adobe setup.exe as administrator, setup starts, the cpu load goes up but
then the setup disappears without error message.
I tried all the different compatibility modes (Win95, 98, 2000, xp, Vista) - no success.
Can anybody help please?

Hi Bineesh,
just to avoid confusion: I'm not talking about Adobe Photoshop "Elements", the product is Adope Photoshop 6 & 7, both
predessors of Adobe Photoshop CS.
Both Photoshop 6 & 7 were running with Vista SP1, which was the pre-installed OS on my Laptop, and I had installed
both Photoshop versions under Vista with no problem.
Before trying to install Win7 Home Premium, I ran a full data backup, then I tried Windows Easy Transfer to save my
data on external disk.
When I tried to install Win7 using the upgrade option, this failed. So I did a complete fresh new installation of Windows 7
and used Win Easy Transfer to import my data. This, however, did not work properly.
I therefor formatted the disk and did a complete new Win7 install, afterwards I did a data revovery to import my data.
Photoshop 6 runs under Win7, however PS7 does not, giving the message "No personalization data found- reinstrall".
I cannot reinstall, because the PS7 is an upgrade from PS6, and when I try to reinstall, it says that no product is found.
I therefor tried to reinstall PS6 as well, which does not work under Win7.
When I check the event log after failed installation, this is what it says:

Bootcamp installation with Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Hi,
Here's my Macbook specs for starters:
MacBook Pro, Retina, 15", Early 2013
I've been having a lot of trouble using Bootcamp to make a partition for Windows. The problem is when I begin launching the Bootcamp assistant and get to the "Copying Windows Files" stage. The following message pops up:
"Your bootable USB drive could not be created. An error occurred while copying the Windows installation files."
So naturally I googled this problem across the web and forums, but found not a single satisfying answer or solution.
I thought it might have been the ISO, so I found another one, but actually got a Windows 7 Home Premium x86 iso (32-bit). Nevertheless, Bootcamp actually worked when I used this 32 bit ISO instead of the 64 bit (both from the same source). I followed all the steps and got my Windows partition working. Except I couldn't get any of the drivers to work with it, as the manuals say it has to be 64 bit edition and not 32 bit. Thus I uninstalled it and tried again with x64, but the same error as above about copying the Windows installation files.
My question is, how do I make bootcamp work with the 64 bit edition Windows 7 Home Premium ISO? It's fine with the 32 bit edition (x86) but it complains about the 64 bit one (x64). The irony of this is that the Bootcamp compatibility chart specifically says that Windows 7 64 bit is compatible with the MacBook Pro model I am using.
Or would going to the Apple Store solve this problem? Would they be able to get bootcamp working for me? I've got a product key but no disk drive or usb optical disk drive.

Hi,
May I know if the computer is in a domain? If so, please try logging on with the local user account and see how it works.
If no, remove all external devices connected to computer, and then please try these suggestion:
Start up repair will take care of issues that hinder the system from booting normally such as conflict between existing software and Windows especially the third party software like an ant-virus. We could have a try:

Install OSX instead of Windows 7 Home Premium

I have installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my I Mac and now most programms don´t work and this is the reason why i want to install OSX again but I don´t know who this works... so please can you help me ?

Then your only option is to have the original OS X and iLife install discs. If you don't have them you might be able to order them from Apple for a small fee.
If your Mac originally came with OS X Snow Leopard or a previous version of OS X YOU NEED those original system discs.

Will Lightroom 3 run under Windows 7 Home Premium?

I'm about to upgrade my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium and wonder if Lightroom 3 will run under this OS? The Release Notes identify "Home Premium" as a suitable version of Vista, but don't make any mention of the "flavours" within Windows 7 - just "Windows 7". I don't want to upgrade to an OS that won't support Lightroom 3.

People have reported online that they have had no issues with the LR3 on Win 7 Home Premium.

Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp?

Someone suggested to use
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp.
Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM to use in bootcamp to install windows 7 on my mac book pro 13 inch?
thank you.
PS: i bought my macbook pro 3 weeks ago.
Also, is there any other windows 7 installation CD that is cheaper?
thank you.

Yes.
OEM just means that the Windows OS is dedicated to that computer only. If you sell, replace or throw away the computer you use it on, the Windows CD/DVD goes along with it. (According to the Licensing dialog)
Just do a Yahoo/Google search for prices is the only way to find it cheaper. Or keep an eye on your favorite web store for sales.
If you are in college and have an .edu e-mail account thru the college then Microsoft has it for about $30 US. And other deals also.

Will it work to install windows 8 through bootcamp as in bootcamp it says you must have a genuine copy of windows 7 home premium, xp or vista and windows 8 is not listed?

I have windows 8 and this is not listed here. will it work?
It is quite an old mac but running 10.6.8.
Please help
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Windows 8 also works, but only with compatible Macs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that you can also install Windows 8 in non-supported Macs by Apple, but you will not be able to install the Windows support software.
As you have got Mac OS X Snow Leopard and after checking that your Mac supports Windows 8, you need to download the Windows support software from this website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638
