Windows 8.1 on Macbook White Mid 2010!

Hey! I installed Windows 7 on my Macbook White unibody mid 2010 model. When I got it I noticed that I needed Windows 8 an application I'm using alot so I installed it. When I installed it I had to install boot camp to get my sound to work and the special keys on my built in keyboard. But the Boot Camp driver I installed says that it's not compatible with this computer model. What do I do now? How do I get it to work? Is there any way for me to use Windows 8 or do I have to re-install Windows 7 and if so how?

Quick update -- I've tried resetting the pram, running the windows startup repair, and running bootrec.exe through the command prompt. No luck with those so far.
Just opened disk utility and saw the screenshot below....could be part of it, but I've deleted the partitions several times...

How to Install Windows 7 on 15" Macbook Pro (Mid 2010)

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows 7 on my mid 2010 MBP 15" (Boot Rom: MBP61.0057.B0F). However, the internal DVD Rom stopped to work, so I got both an external DVD Rom and a bootable USB stick (with Windows 7). The OS X is 10.8.3.
When I run the Bootcamp Assistant, after re-divde the disk and reboot, it stuks (with either the USB stick or the external DVD Rom) at the Apple logo screen (sometimes before that -- the scree is all white). When I reboot again, it reports no bootable device.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot!

I agree with the optical drive, mine acted strange, and i thought people were crazy and my drive was shot, but a simple cleaning disc worked miracles.
But- are you trying to reboot with both the USB install and the DVD install both plugged in? that would definitely cause confusion.
Do this, reboot with NOTHING plugged in. Once you hear the Mac chime, immediately press and hold option.
You should only see the Mac HD, and Recovery Partition.
THEN plug in your external DVD, and wait a min or two, you should see a disc icon appear next to the recovery partition that says something like windows. If that doesnt appear after a min or two, unplug it and put the USB stick and do the same thing. I had to do it this way on my mid 09 MBP.
Let me know if this works to start the install. If not we may have to start over with Bootcamp Assistant

HT204347 Thanks, the write-up was informative, But it do not answer for my question, that is where to look for serial # on my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 White Unibody Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz 13.3"? Its not on bottom-case and the above article does not mention this m

Click on the Apple and then on about this Mac. In the new window, click on the "version 10.9.2" until you see the serial number displayed.

How to download macbook pro (mid 2010) drivers for windows 7, without the included DVD (lost) ?

Hello everyone,
I am facing a problem with bootcamp on my Macbook pro 15" (Mid 2010, running Mos OS 10.6.6).
I have successfully installed windows 7 via Bootcamp, but I lost the Drivers DVD furnished by Apple.
I tried to download these using Bootcamp (v3.0.4), but bootcamp won't let me save it, i get this error :
"the windows support software could not be saved to the selected folder"
An Apple support article has been made for this problem ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3648 ), but it doesn't solve the problem in my case because I lost the furnished DVD.
So here I am, struck on this drivers issue...
So, my question is :
How to download macbook pro (mid 2010) drivers for windows 7, without the included DVD (lost) ?
Thank you for your help !

Aw, and I forgot, being in Thailand, they do not sell the installation DVD.

Installing Windows 7 on MacBook Pro mid-2010 13" with Mavericks?

Hello, my 13" macbook pro mid-2010 is only capable of running BootCamp 4, but has Mavericks which can only run BootCamp 5. Is there any way to get around this to install Windows 7 through Bootcamp or any ways to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion without a Time Machine backup? I also know that virtual machines and Parallels are out there, but I need a separate partition for Windows for gaming.
Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Apple Support. They have decided to make MacBook Pro mid 2010 models non-compatible with BootCamp 5. They have also decided to make OS Mavericks only compatible with BootCamp 5. Therefore it will not work at all unless you downgrade your OS. It is not possible to use BootCamp on mid 2010 MB Pros with Mavericks.

HT202008 I am having issues with my Window 7 on boot camp. My hardware is Macbook Pro Mid 2010 model and working on OS X 10.9.5. Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers.

Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers. I installed boot camp5 but seem to be the wrong version and change to boot camp 4 which was updated okay. However I still cannot do the updates. Can someone advice me please? Thank you!

Please see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support for the appropriate version of drivers related to the specific version of Windows 7.

Be careful with Windows Updates, especially driver updates. Standard WHQL drivers can cause problems.

I was using my MacBook Pro Mid-2010 and then the screen went blank, I did a hard restart and went to restart again and it won't startup. The white light comes on and then the computer kinda "clicks" off!

Macbook Pro Mid 2010 (Model 6.2) restarts like cray cray

Can't believe this is happening...
Macbook Pro Mid 2010 Model - Intel i5 2.4GHz - RAM 8GB - GPU NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
So I've seen quite a lot of threads discussing the 'GPU Panic' issue since I first encountered it a few weeks ago. The problem had never occurred on my MBP prior to that. However, the situation is now so bad that I wouldn't be able to open the Mac OS and make a copy of the panic report before it automatically reboots. Fortunately I have Windows 8 installed on the machine so I am still able to post for help on here.
A few questions / personal thoughts on the issue:
I bought this MBP back in June 2010 in China... So I won't be eligible for a free repair by any means right? It's been almost fours years since the purchase - significantly longer than three years restricted by Apple. I've seen another user who posted how they successfully defended their consumer rights by bringing some printouts of consumer laws and regulations. Lots of respect for that... But surely that only applies to goods purchased in the UK right? I'm so screwed... If a repair costs a few hundred quid then there is no point doing it, is there? I guess I can live with Windows for one or two years before the machine wears out and then get a new one. That being said, I still wonder if anyone in similar situation has managed to get free repair (GPU / logic board replacement or whatever it is). If so, mind sharing your story?
Is it nearly impossible to make a Genius Bar reservation nowadays or is it just me? My plan was to bring my MBP and talk to a genius and see where it goes. But both Covent Garden and Regent Street seem fully booked until a distant future. The reservation page does not show any available time slots, it simply says 'There are no available appointments at this store'. I mean I don't really mind if it is in a few days, a week, a month or even a year, just give me something. Telling people 'no availabe appointments at this store' is not very helpful is it? Since I have never had a Genius reservation (never had any issue using my MBP until this one - the good old days are gone) before, I'm curious what would happen if I just walk in with my MBP. Would they ask me to make a reservation or would they serve me right away?
Since I have never encountered the GPU panic issue (or any issue really) before I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2. I had never had any similar problems running Windows (Previously Vista, 7 and now 8) on my MBP either. I am speculating maybe the GPU Panic issue is more of a software bug. I am not ruling out the possibility of the GPUs being defective, but considering that fact everything was perfectly fine before the arrival of the evil Mavericks (for me, the upgrade to Mvericks 10.9.2), maybe the specific problem is down to Mavericks? I think this could be good news because Apple could quickly fix it for everyone as long as they know about the issue. Well... I don't think our chances of getting it sorted quickly are good, especially not when the new iPhone/iOS, which generates 10X more profits than Macs, is at the most critical stage of development. What do you guys think?
Oh it is just so frustrating. Using Windows on a Mac is definitely a nightmare - miserable 2 hour battery life and noisy non-stop fan spinning. Someone please help....................

In the Replacement Program Support Article, it states:
Apple will service affected 15-inch MacBook Pro computers free of charge until three years from date of purchase. This worldwide Apple program does not extend the standard warranty coverage of the affected MacBook Pro.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
According to these terms, you are outside the eligibility window. However, I still second andyBall_uk's sentiments.
Make a Genius Bar Reservation. Print out a copy of the kernel panic report and the Support Article. If the 'Genius' refuses servicing without cost, ask for the store manager. It is ultimately at the manager's discretion.
Additionally, if this doesn't work out, you can look into Apple's flat fee repair program:
Do You Know About Apple's Flat Rate Repair Pricing?
Best of luck.

Startup – Computer restarts by itself – Mountain Lion

MacBook Pro (mid-2010) Internal USB HUB freezes/locks up

MacBook Pro (mid-2010) wilth the latest firmware, etc.
OS X 10.9.1
USB KVM to share keyboard and mouse with another computer
This has been working flawlessly until I upgraded to 10.9.1
The KVM uses the Scroll Lock key to toggle the input between the two computers
I switch back and forth many times a day.
Almost once a day now, all my input to my MBP will lock up when switching the KVM over.
The MBP track pad, keyboard, blue tooth Magic Mouse, KVM mouse and keyboard all become unresponsive.
I am assuming that the interal keyboard/track pad/blue tooth transceiver are all tied to an internal USB HUB.
The MBP is up and running and I can ssh into it. The only error message in the log is that the mouse device coming from the KVM is busy and it will be disabled. I have tried to close the lid for several minutes and then re-open, but it does not resolve the issue. I have tried connecting another USB mouse/keyboard during this time and it will not work. I have tried kill -HUP on the usbd and USBAgent processes. Everything stays unresponsive. The only way to resolve this condition is to reboot the MBP. Note: the KVM works find on the other computer when I switch it back and forth regardless of the state of the MBP.
I am suspecting that when this happens it is some how disabling the internal USB HUB, which if all the other devices are connected through it, nothing no longer works (but maybe I am crazy with that thought). Anyone have any insight? Is there a way to reset the internal HUB short of a reboot?
Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing the same problem with a 2010 Mac Mini with IOGear KVM and MS wireless mouse. This setup worked flawlessly for years on Snow Leopard but started hanging soon after the Mavericks upgrade. I'm running 10.9.4, currently the latest release. The system usually hangs after a KVM keyboard switch from Windows on the other set of KVM cables back to the Mac Mini. ssh into OSX works fine but a shutdown hangs indefinitely. top showed no processes spinning. The 1st console message after the hang was:
8/6/14 8:49:21.000 PM kernel[0] USBF: 1317978.201 AppleUSBHubPort: Port 2 of Hub at 0x6200000 about to terminate a busy device (Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0) after waiting 10 seconds
There were no other messages for hours before this. I'm using VM Fusion but I think it hung once without it running. The Windows 7 side of the KVM works fine.

How do I connect my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 to a VGA monitor

I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010 that I would like to connect to a VGA LCD monitor. It connects and I get the mac book screen saver but no desktop icons or tool bar. Am I missing a setting?

External screens are designed to work as extended displays for your computer's display. It means that menu bars and desktop icons won't appear, and you will only see windows if you drag them to the right part of the computer's display.
To change this, you have to activate video mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019

Unable to open Bootcamp install of Vista after upgrading MacBook Pro / Mid 2010 to OS Mavericks

Dear Community,
I am unable able to boot the Windows Vista install (via Boot Camp) on my MacBook Pro / mid 2010 after upgrading to OS Maverick.
Any idea about how this problem can be solved (I don't want to purchase Windows 7 and I don't want to purchase a virtual machine)?
Many thanks for your support!
Regards,
PSeguro

Hello 88,
I haven't resized / modified anything since installing Vista on my System. The problem must have incurred when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Maverick.
by the way:
I (just) found out that Windows Vista is booting (automatically) when I insert my original "Mac OS X Install DVD" / 10.6.3 (or my "Applications Install DVD") before starting the MacBook. It will - hwr - not boot without above DVDs in the tray...

BootCamp 5.0 error on 13" MacBook Pro Mid-2010: "Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model"

Installing Boot Camp 5.0.5033 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638) on Windows 8 x64 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 using BootCamp\setup.exe, I get the following message: “Installation Error. Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”.
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 .
Previous version, Boot Camp 4.0, causes bluescreens on Windows 8 (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20131524#20131524).
Fortunately, it might be still possible to employ updated Boot Camp by launching “msiexec /i BootCamp.msi” from BootCamp\Drivers\Apple folder using administrative command prompt (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813%28v=WS.10%29.aspx).
However, new Boot Camp 5.0.5033 does not contain all the drivers for 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010. E.g. driver for NVIDIA nForce System Management Controller (labeled Other devices/Coprocessor in Control Panel) and NVIDIA nForce PCI Systems Management (labeled Other devices/SM Bus Controller in Control Panel) must be obtained at Drivers\NVidia\NVidiaChipset64 in older Boot Camp 4.0 (downloadable at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1634)
According to Microsoft (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements), the MacBook Pro config (Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) exceeds Windows 8 x64 hardware requirements. Windows Experience Index for this laptop is approx. 5.1 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/what-windows-experience-index).
Does anybody know, is there any technical reason why Windows 8 x64 is not supported by Boot Camp 5 on 13” MBP Mid-2010?
Is there a specific hardware/firmware deficiency in this MacBook model, incompatible with Win8? Maybe NVIDIA refused to provide Win8-compatible drivers for its chipset components (GeForce 320M graphics card though is still supported by latest notebook drivers available at www.geforce.com)?

Thanks for the detailed explanation! If MacBook supports AHCI/SATA only in native “UEFI mode”, while reverting back to PATA/IDE in legacy “BIOS mode”, then it could make perfect sense to use UEFI to make sure that technology like Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is employed, as it may give noticeable performance improvements for certain operations: www.happysysadm.com/2012/12/intel-g530-nas-performance-part-3.html. I wonder how do you get Windows 8 x64 with EFI bootloader installed on MacBook?
Simply choosing EFI Boot (“Some EFI platforms support both UEFI and BIOS firmware. On some of those systems, it is not always clear if the default DVD boot option is an EFI or BIOS boot option. On these systems, using the EFI shell command may be required. If you do not specifically start Windows Setup by using the EFI boot entry, the default firmware boot entry for BIOS may be used. If Windows Setup starts in BIOS mode on a combined EFI/BIOS system, the ESP and MSR partitions are not created.”) from Win8 x64 DVD when installing on blank HDD would yield “The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed" message. Also, if the hard drive was not in SATA mode during Windows installation, registry tweaking may be required before switching from PATA to SATA. Do you do registry tweaking and EFI bootloader configuration manually after a copy of Windows was installed in its dedicated partition in a regular way?

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.

From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?

Install the new drive in the computer.
Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Corsair Force GT issue on MacBook Pro Mid-2010 (Sata 2)

I just bought the Corsair Force GT 120 GB to use as the only hard drive in a MacBook Pro Mid-2010. I knew that my MacBook Pro model only supports SATA I & SATA II & that the SSD is backwards compatible. I expected (and still expect) the SSD to link up at SATA II 3 Gb speed.
However, System Profiler in Mac OS X Lion gives the following information:
NVidia MCP89 AHCI:
Vendor: NVidia
Product: MCP89 AHCI
Link Speed: 3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed: 1.5 Gigabit
Description: AHCI Version 1.30 Supported
Corsair Force GT:
Capacity: 120,03 GB (120.034.123.776 bytes)
Model: Corsair Force GT
Revision: 1.3.3
Benchmark tests show my write & read speeds are at about 100 & 110-130 MB/s. I have searched for a while on this and other forums and not been able to find a way to get negotiated link speed at 3 Gb and then to check whether this solves the rather sluggish performance.
Some extra info that might be useful:
-I have installed all available updates.
-The SSD is the only drive in my system. After booting to the Mac OS X Lion DVD I had created, I used the disk tool to partition the new drive with the settings at GUID partition table & HFS+ Journaled. I haven't experienced any other problems.
-I have reset the SMC, PRAM & NVRAM. This didn't change anything.
-I haven't installed any Windows version using Boot Camp (yet).
-System has Boot ROM Version: MBP71.0039.B0B and SMC Version (system): 1.62f6
Thank you in advance.
