Windows Drivers Macbook Pro

Hey, sorry if this is posted in the wrong section.
I am just wondering where I can find the Windows drivers for my Macbook Pro, since my old Bootcamp 1.3 installation won't work.

Hi,
not an ISO, you should look in the content packages for 'DiskImage.dmg'
See here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070329224224572
And for the date reset, see here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306805

HT5628 Is it possible to install MS-Windows on MacBook Pro as the only OS

Is it possible to install MS-Windows on MacBook Pro as the only OS, using all the space of the SSD, by de-isntalling thus completely the Mac OS?

Yes.
but
You will have to erase the drive completely and install Windows, you can't achieve it just by deleting OSX
I do not recommend that you do it.

USB 3.0 HDD disconnects on Windows 7 Macbook Pro Mid 2014

Macbook Pro with Retina display 13" Mid 2014
I have installed windows 7 using the Bootcamp assistant which downloaded the support files and installed from an 8GB USB 2.0 flash disk.
All went well and I have a working installation of Windows 7 ultimate, BUT I am having issues with using a USB 3.0 external HDD which contains my backups.
It plugs in and is detected OK, but when I try and transfer field, or just leave the disk a while it will drop the disc, then resect it again.
I turned off the power management on the USB ports and this made no difference.
I installed the latest extensible USB 3.0 drivers from Intel but these made no difference.
I tried reinstalling window from scratch by deleting from Bootcamp but no difference.
The drive works fine in OSX and on other computers but just not on the Macbook Pro in Windows 7.
Any suggestions as I need to recover my photos from a Windows backup and cannot do this in OSX which is why I need Windows 7 working with USB 3.0
Thanks in advance.
Sean

maybe it's because your ext hd is in mac os filesystem which windows cant read?

Installing Windows on Macbook Pro, NO BOOTCAMP

I have a 15 inch core 2 duo Macbook Pro and I went to restore my computer to tiger once again and when I did I relised that the disk is too scratched up, I can only get about 90 percent of the minimal installation done.
After a while of trying diffrent things i got fet up and partitioned my hard drive to Master boot record and poped in my Win7 install disk, I installed Windows 7 perfectly with no problems but now when I go to boot it up all I get is a grey screen and after a while a folder icon pops up with a question mark on it.
How can I fix this without using another mac or bootcamp, because I DON'T have access to one and i DON'T have access to another mac cd, so don't give me that option, lol.. The only thing I have access to is another windows 7 computer.
Please help, I thought mac was suppose to be one of the top brand computers. especially with the price of them, but so far I've had more trouble with this mac than what I did with my HP, I had my HP 3 years now and my macbook not even a year.
Thanks,

Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Select the Windows disk icon and click on the arrow button.
Where did you get the Windows installer from? Your HP? That's an OEM disc that cannot be used except on your HP. You need a retail Windows disc if you want to boot the Mac exclusively with Windows. Of course you will not have any of the hardware drivers for Windows for use on the Mac hardware.
I don't understand your complaints about a computer you don't seem to know how to use, your installer discs are all scratched up and no longer usable, but you have had lots of trouble with it. And, all your doing is trying to use it as a Windows computer. Defies logic.

Installing windows on macbook pro without bootcamp. Will this allow for switchable graphics?

Hi everyone, I was thinking of buying a new Macbook Pro Retina 15 Inch with the discrete nvidia graphics card inbuilt with it.
I love windows and I am planning on running windows 7/8 on the macbook pro as my primary OS (because of advantages of gaming and being familarized with windows os), however I have heard the issue of running windows on bootcamp severally drains battery life as apple does not allow you to switch the nvidia graphics to the integrated graphics. Is this true? I have heard that running windows 7/8 on bootcamp allows for only around 3:30 hours of battery life, whilst OSX allows for 8+ since it uses the integrated graphics primarily when not running GPU demanding applications.
I am wondering if you can install windows 7 without bootcamp which will wipe apple OS from the laptop completely. Will this allow for the laptop to do switable graphics without problems allowing the laptop to save much needed battery life?
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Sorry it seems to have taken so long for you to get an answer on this question!
Your last post was mostly right... It IS a bad idea to go that route!
While it's technically POSSIBLE to get Windows in place without OSX, it's a MAJOR technical hassle and you need to jump through several hoops to get to that point.
In addition to the hassle required, having an OSX partition can be incredibly useful at times - I've had my Windows system break several times in the past where the automated (and even manual) startup-repair process failed to get Windows booting again, but a short boot into OSX later, I have the problem resolved (via OSX) and am able to get back into Windows.
Finally, you need to be aware that the graphics card situation isn't because of the presence of OSX. Just because you get rid of MacOS doesn't mean you suddenly will be able to use either graphics card! The limitation comes into play with the hardware drivers necessary to get all your hardware working in Windows - they just don't have the facility to switch graphics cards built into them.
I'm afraid you're stuck with the NVidia card when using Windows, one way or another!
Bootcamp is a prerequisite BTW. Without it you won't be able to get Windows installed at all (at least not without MAJOR stumbling block, again!), and again, the graphics card limitation isn't due to OSX or Bootcamp.
Also, battery life... Yes. You'll have significantly less in Windows, and this isn't entirely because of the graphics card situation either. MacOS is just built so well, with the limited hardware used by Apple in mind, that power-management when using OSX os significantly better! The legendary battery life of Apple systems is actually primarily due to the operating system, not the batteries themselves!
As a helpful indication: On my 2009 17" MBP I get about 7 hours on the integrated chip in OSX (8 is pusing it, but is possible sometimes); about 5 hours in OSX when using the NVidia; and about 3 and a half when I'm in Windows.
Hope this all helps you. If you have any further questions feel free!
Apologies for the scattered approach to answering your posts - it's LATE where I am and I"m kinda rushing through things... :-)

Windows 7 & MacBook Pro Problem...

Good Day,
Yesterday, I was using my Windows 7 Bootcamp Partition in my Mac and found something odd about it. When I opened my "Devices and Printer" window, I saw that the computer icon has a small yellow warning icon (yellow triangle with ! character) saying that one of my Drivers was having problems. I opened my Device Manager but all drivers seem to have been installed properly. Anyhow, I right clicked the Computer icon and clicked trouble shooting and it is suggesting me to install a NVIDIA Driver other than the one that came in the Bootcamp disk. For now I have decided to ignore the computer icon since I don't have any visible troubles in my MacBook Pro. Anyway I would like to ask if these computer icons with warning signs are common in my MacBook Pro model or any other Mac.
Thank You for any help that can be provided in this matter.

Answer was replied in another forum.

Device I/O Error with Windows on Macbook Pro

I have a friend who has the newest Macbook Pro Unibody Laptop. I have a Macbook Pro as well. He just got his laptop and tried using boot camp to install Windows XP Home. When it was copying the files to the hard drive after formatting, I had to keep telling it to retry copying the files. It would say it couldn't so retry, skip, or cancel and i would retry with each file. It would do this many many times before it would finish copying all the files. At first, everytime I would try and boot into windows, right after the windows screen, it would give me a BSOD. SO we erased that partition and tried again except this time, we got into where Windows finishes installing and you can set it up and it had a device i/o error and it would not proceed.
He went out and bought Parallels Desktop 6, we tried on that VM and it gave us the same Device I/O error.
When he bought the computer, the CD drive made a loud buzzing noise. He called into support and they had him hold control, option, and shift to reset the drives. The noise is fixed, but I think the problem has something to do with the CD drive. He just wants to be able to run Windows one way or another. Thanks for any help in advance.

Depends what you want to do...
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/02/09/parallelstakes_virtualization_speed_crown_in_head_to_head_withvmware.html
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
start by backing up, use Boot CAmp Assistant and install 7 and get it up to date and your OS X DVD to install the Apple Boot CAmp 3 drivers installed and updated. Then whatever you need and intended to use, along with Microsoft Security Essentials.
Then you can use it natively, or inside OS X using Parallels.
If you just want a VM, no need to go through installing Windows on its own hard drive with Boot Camp.

Running Windows on MacBook Pro - running into problems

I installed Windows XP on my MacBook Pro (Late 2008 model) and everything seems to be running fine. I installed all of my drivers with no problem. Windows is installed on a 31GB partition.
I installed Windows for one reason and one reason only - to print W-2s at my job. There is a small program I need to install, and it comes on a disc that is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Whenever I go to install the program, I insert the disc into the drive and it just makes a noise like it is trying to load and then spits the disc back out.
I thought maybe it was just this program, but it's not - it does it with any disc I try to put in.
Is this a fixable problem? Can I even run PC discs on my Mac (with Windows)?
I'm pretty new to this whole thing so any insight would be appreciated!

Yes you can install Windows programs from a disk when you are booted into Windows.
31GB partition for Windows is very small. Maybe there is not enough space in the Windows partition for the programs you are trying to install. How much free space is there in the Windows partition and how large are the programs? Remember that Windows needs some free space just to run, just as OSx needs free HD space for it to run.
If you installed using Boot Camp Assistant, you should vist the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Model-specific Questions
I receive a "Free up space on Drive C" message when I try to do an upgrade install from Windows 7 to Windows 8 on my MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012). Why am I seeing this?
There is not enough free space available to do an upgrade install with the 64 GB SSD configuration. Delete the Boot Camp partition and do a full install instead. See this article for more information.
I see a black screen or distortion when I install Windows 8 on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012). How do I fix this?
The Windows 8 installer does not contain the correct graphics driver for your computer. You'll need to attach the USB media that contains the Boot Camp drivers during installation to address this issue. See this article for more information.
The volume controls keys (F1 and F2) won't work on my iMac (Mid 2011). How do I control the volume?
Use the Settings Charm to control screen brightness. See this article.
My MacBook Air (Mid 2012) will not start Windows 8, or displays VGA graphics when it stats up. How can I fix this?
Your MacBook Air (Mid 2012) needs an EFI Firmware update to address this issue. Download and install the MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 2.6.
I see a "Windows 8 is not supported on this Mac" message on my Mac. Can my Mac run Windows 8?

Additional Information
For more information about using Boot Camp, please visit www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
You want to use apps directly for games, excel maybe and don't have enough RAM and processing, run Windows natively. Want to run light weight, use a VM like VirtualBox (free).
Want to do both, dual boot and run Windows as a guest OS, then Parallels or VMware Fusion.
Most do so to run games. Macs and the MacBook Pro line do tend to run hotter under Windows. Fan control is sorely weak to almost not well implemented so use something like AIDA64 and/or other temp sensor monitoring.

No Sound on Windows 7 MacBook Pro (first-gen)

I've spent almost all day installing at least 20 different drivers to try and get audio working under Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 1,1 (Intel Core Duo). All other devices are working fine except my audio. Under Mac OS X the audio device is identified as "Intel High Defintion Audio". I've tried all the following drivers:
RealTek HD Audio
Sigmatel ITC Audio.
I'm not sure what else to try. Anyone have any suggestions. It should be noted that I do not have a Mac OS X install disc to install the default bootcamp drivers, however I did locate and download the exact drivers included on the Mac OS dvd and those did not work either.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Intel apparently no longer hosts it, but I found a mirror of AUDALLVISTA_6.10.5405_V73_PVIDT.EXE. After installing it, the headphone jack works, but the speakers do not.
This is kind of aggrivating because I think Apple shouldn't be so withholding about their hardware details. I could only find Apple's published developer whitepapers. They publish detailed audio I/O specs, but neglect to simply mention who made the hardware (SigmaTel or Intel, I guess), and which drivers would work with Windows (you know, that OS that holds a huge majority of the market share, which says a lot) - or they could simply make the Bootcamp drivers freely available for download. Reading through forums - post after post - that's what customers need to know, and it definitely leaves a bad impression to have to spend hours, especially of trial and error installations, of trying to find out something so simple that could be easily made freely available. I mean - if you're going to go with Intel architecture, there's pretty much an industry standard of publishing such hardware details of the product so this aggrivation doesn't happen.

Frequent aero crashes in Windows 7 - Macbook Pro 2010

Hi all,
has anyone come across this issue?
I have had continuous Aero crashes in my Windows 7 x64 installation and the new Macbook Pro 2010 with nvidia 330m.
During window resizing, video playback, aero and the whole desktop window manager will frequently crash. I have reinstalled twice the operating system, installed alternate nvidia forceware drivers (from laptopvideo2go.com) with no success.
When such a crash occurs the following error message is recorded in the Windows Event Log, Application category: 'The Desktop Window manager has encountered a fatal error'.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks
Theo

I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to paste over! Here's what happens to me. I've got 257.15 downloaded and extracted. Then I go here:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/enhancer
I select driver version 257.15, set it for performance, select a number of different options on the page, most of which mean nothing to me, and download a ile named nv4_disp.inf. The problem is that I can't "replace" that file because that file doesn't exist in the driver installation folder. There are a lot of inf files, but none of them have that name.
I've tried to install directly from the generated inf file by selecting update driver on the display adapter, then going manually to the inf file. It works up to the point where it shows me the 330M as compatible hardware, but when I try to install it, it says it encountered an error while attempting to install it, "The system cannot find the file specified."
So what's up with my inf file? I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong there.
One thing that may complicate this is that I uninstalled and deleted the Boot Camp driver while following another set of instructions on how to fix this issue. Do I need to reinstall that driver, by chance? Then upgrade from that?
Any tips on how to recover and get back working again (preferably with updated less crash prone drivers!) would be hugely appreciated. I do development on Windows 7 and have been having a LOT of crash issues related to this!

Windows 7 MacBook Pro Mid 2012

First off I apologize for posting this here, Im just in dier need of help.
I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012. I installed Windows 7 Pro 32bit. Unkowingly (as this is my first bootcamp experience) I installed this, went throught all the steps and now have come to the realization I cant find the correct Bootcamp software to work with my Macbook and this version of Windows. I did manage to grab SOME drivers out of the packages from the three different versions of Bootcamp software so my wireless internet works now. Most everything else doesnt. I can attach screenshots if needed but in device manager I have many things still with no drivers. Can anyone tell me where to get drivers for everything so that this is useable?
Per the Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 it says my Macbook is compatible with Bootcamp 4. However all the packages of Bootcamp 4 I have ran, tell me its not. Can someone shed some light on this?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
