WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FOR MACBOOK AIR 2014

Does anyone know if there is a windows support software for MacBook Air 13 inches 2014 version?
I do need it desperately

Again, what do you mean by a Windows Support Software?
Bootcamp will allow you to install Windows on a Mac. Beyond that what else do you need?
The instructions don't mention anything about Support Software.
How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support
For All intents and purposes Bootcamp is the software that supports Windows installations.

How do I download the Windows Support Software for MacBook Mid-2010 ?

Hey guys, I've got quite a big problem at the moment... In December, I bought a MacBook7,1 (the Mid-2010 Unibody model) and used my OS X install disc whenever I wanted to install Windows XP/Vista/7 drivers to my Boot Camp partition. However, I've recently got quite a bit of a problem...
See, I can't find my OS X Install Disc. So I have to use, from within the Boot Camp Assistant, the "Download the Windows support software for this Mac" function, to be able to burn to DVD/install to a USB stick.
Now, this function up until recently used to work completely fine - no issues at all. However I need to reinstall my Windows 7 (again, I know, Windows has quite a few problems but I really do need to use it for what I do - gaming, etc) again, and whenever I try this option in the last... week, I'd wager, it comes up with "Download could not be continued" and "The Windows Support Software is unavailable" errors.
I've checked on this forum and some people are saying that Apple removed the support software for some Macintosh computers? What on Earth? What about us lot who don't have our OS X install discs anymore?! I don't think it's fair they've specifically gimped a functionality that was working fine until a bit ago for no apparent reason. It's just... stopped working. Is this for everyone?
Is there some alternative I can use? I've tried everything. I don't have someone I could just borrow the OS X install disc from and I think it's rather unfair if they expect to me to shell out for an OS X install disc again when I could previously do what I wanted for free!!!

The point isn't whether I lost them, the point is that I was able to use the Boot Camp Assistant previously fine to download the Win Support Software and put that on a USB stick (which has since been formatted for other usage).
Since this was made available as an option, I haven't really had much need for the OS X install discs (Unless I really, really needed to reinstall OS X at some point but I have no reason to fear that right?). To claim this being "okay" because I've misplaced the discs is rather outrageous.

Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp

Hi guys,
Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Whart exactly are you having problems with?
Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
Hope that helps.....

Windows support software for bootcamp 5.1.2

Hey guys, I just finished installing windows 8.1 for my mac (MacBook Pro mid 2012). I realised that keyboards function aren't working (sound, light, etc.) and no wifi. It's because I do not have the driver install. The problem is, I cannot find windows support software for bootcamp 5.1.2 at all. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

Boot Camp Assistant gives you an option to download support software during initial setup. If you have skipped this step, you can try with this download: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1720?locale=en_GB
If that won't work for you, you might have to remove Boot Camp partition and setup all over again.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I do not recommend you to download the Windows support software through Boot Camp Assistant.
Instead, you can download the Windows support software for most Macs from the Apple website. Go to this website, look for your MacBook Pro model and the Windows version you want to install, and follow its steps.

Where i can get the windows support software for bootcamp?

lost my mac os x installation disk and need the windows support software for bootcamp. have a 17" mac book pro bought 08/2010... where i can get it?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You'll have to purchase another copy of the OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' disc, because that disc is the only source of Boot Camp 3.0 drivers.
The Boot Camp 3.1 and Boot Camp 3.2 drivers and some recent machine-specific updates are available online from Apple here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#Boot%20Camp

What is the preferred anti-virus/malware software for MacBook Air

What is the preferred anti-virusmalware software for MacBook Air?

None is required.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Windows support software for os x lion help!

Hi i already downloaded the windows support software for bootcamp. but when i switched to my windows and tried to run the setup.exe file it doesnt seem to run. A command prompt-like box seems to appear and disappear in a second and then nothing happens after that. where am i doing it wrong?

When the installer window ask's you what you want to do, Run File or Open Folder, open folder and install the drivers manually.
Try right clicking the file and run as administrator, or right click and run in compatitbility mode.
Or drag the Whole file over to the Windows desktop and try the different ways again.
Try a search and there will be more extensive instructions on how to do it if you don't understand.

Unable to download windows 7 support software for macbook pro

I was able to install Windows 7 Home Premium and also partitioned the HD. After that I have been trying to download Windows support software through Bootcamp into a properly formatted pen drive. The download progresses to about 20% of the bar showing progress and then just freezes. I checked the internet connection but it is working fine. Not sure if the file sizes are huge(the progress bar doesn't show any details about how big the file sizes are). Left the mac book running for more than 3 hours but no progress. Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?
The Windows 7 installation doesn't have any drivers so i am unable to even connect to the internet through an ethernet connection.

The Boot Camp assistant created an extra partition, then just stopped. It didn't move forward with installing Windows. Now I have a BOOTCAMP partition and a few options for installing Windows. I have a DVD I burned, and an ISO out on a USB HD formatted for FAT. But I'm not sure how to go about installing Windows now. I did this once before a few years ago but don't remember the steps. I want to install Windows onto the boot camp partition. Would you happen to know how I can proceed?
I tried holding down the Option key upon boot and selecting the Windows DVD but it just hung there on the Apple logo. Only way to boot was to hold Option and select my main HD.

Cant find "windows support software" for bootcamp

I am trying to restart bootcamp. I keep getting stuck by no windows support software.
any though?

Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
The OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD that came with your Mac includes the BootCamp Driver for installation after you have installed Windows.
Once installed you can then update the Drivers (versions 3.1 and 3.2) which can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Refer to the BootCamp Install Guide inside the BootCamp Assistant

Windows support software for os x lion?

Hello all,
I have been banging my head against the wall on this one all day. I am working off a brand new macbook pro. I have installed windows 7 using boot camp assistant without any issues. Now where do you get the windows support software? The download option inside of the boot camp assistant does not work, that only works on air's as far as I can tell. So where are you supposed to get the windows support software from being as there is no dvd associated with Lion?
Been on hold with support for a half hour...was this just a giant oops by apple?
Boot camp assistant 4.0 is the version being used.

Just an update. For whatever reason the download option would not work in my specific circumstances. I eventually got bounced up to a senior assistant and he had to grab a copy of the drivers internally and give me an ftp link. Not smooth but it is working. Thinking I am going to be reverting to snow leopard I can't handle the features of Lion anyways...

Dowloading windows support software for mac broken?

Ive got my copy of windows and Ive set up my partition for boot camp but when I try to download windows support software. It just says "Download could not continue. The Windows support software is not available". Is there a place to download it or a way to fix it? Because when I continue without download this sofware I get stuck at:
"1.
2.
Select CD-Rom Boot Type:_"
My keyboard no longer works so Im guessing this is because there are no drivers for my apple keyboard.
Any help is appreciated.

So it's midnight..
Duke Nukem demo just came out, and I want to play it.
My DVD is at home.
The option says "I have my disc" or "I don't have my disc".
At the moment, I don't have my disc, so I click "I don't have my disc".
Then it says "error, it's broke".
I come here, and it everyone says "you need your disc".
Well, now I have a macbook PRO, that can't play my game, and I'm irritated.
Microsoft wouldn't do that.
FAIL apple.

How can I download Windows support software for Macbook1,1 with SL ?

Macbook white 1st gen w/ Snow leopard.
Bootcamp assistant quits with "The Windows support software is not available".
How can I reach the drivers manually?
Thanks!

Bootcamp assistant quits with "The Windows support software is not available".
Doesn't make sense why it would tell you that. The 3.x drivers for both the 64 and 32 bit versions of Windows 7 can be downloaded from Apple's own site.
64 and 32 bit 3.1 update drivers after applying the initial drivers from your Snow Leopard DVD within Windows 7:
