Windows Support Software Unaviable when trying to download using the assistant

I can't download the Windows 7 support software using the asistant it, the program tells me is a network error, i've read in the forums that you can use the OSX dvds but my macbookpro I bought my macbook this year and it came without any installation DVDs anyone know a workaround to this problem?

For the sake of full disclosure, I skip the Assistant part, I still use Apple drivers.
That makes it easy to clone and use Windows as 100% native as a PC.
NTFS from Paragon supports Windows in its own control panel as Startup Disk and write.
HFS from Paragon improves on AppleHFS to mount and provide read and write support.
Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Suite handles Windows 8 management.
Note that with Windows on its own drive you 'boot' from System Reserved partition for Windows, not from your Windows volume. Should be 100MB for 7 and 350MB for 8.
PLEASE, OP, read the guide etc. There are no DVDs for Lion, so it is download only.
There is a link to Boot Camp 4.0 but you really want 4.01+ Shame. Downloads take couple minutes (600MB file, so whatever your broadband can handle). That is the way it should be.
It has been crippled and can't be just a fluke.
I think most would like to download from the AppStore for free or small fee $2.99 if that would work and give you the latest and be done in 10 minutes.

  • I am trying to install windows on my mac via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available.

    I am running OSX 10.6.8 Snow lepard I am trying to install windows on my intel imac 20in late 2006  via bootcamp, and it says I need to download Windows Support Software. I tried, but it says "Download can not continue. The Windows Support Software is not available. I bought the Imac secend hand and did not get the install dvd's with it What can I do?

    You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
    Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

  • Nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic

    I get nasty feedback when trying to record using the internal mic on my macbook. I'm running Maverick. Why is this happening?

    Note: there may be other issues involved, but without further details I can only suggest that using headphones is the best way to accurately hear what you're recording, adjust gain levels, and avoid feedback. So this should be the first thing to try as you troubleshoot.

  • Getting an error message that unable to check for software update when trying to download new iOS 8.0.2 update ?? Can someone help ???

    Getting an error message of unable to
    check for software update when trying to update to
    ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??

    Howdy there otss1979,
    It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Can't connect download windows support software because you are not connected to the internet

    I currently am having trouble downloading the windows support software for boot camp 4.0. Whenever I try to download it, i get a pop up saying I'm not connected to the internet. So it gives me an option to go through network diagnostics, and it says my connection is up and runnin perfectly. so i hit try again on the pop up, and the pop up reapears, again and again. my software is all up to date, I have a lower end 15'' macbookpro from august 2011, running osx lion, and 8 gb of ram. I have restarted my computer, my router and I continuously keep getting the same pop up error. When i first got my macbookpro, i was able to download the support software perfectly fine, but now its not even letting me get a crack at downloading it.
    please help, thank you!

    Sounds like you are wired to modem/router directly, yes?
    I know that the servers for Windows Boot Camp can be flaky slow impossibly buggy and even off line at times. One of the pitfalls of always on always connected - what if. I like physical media or alternatives.
    And there is no standalone place to download outside of Boot Camp Assistant..

  • Why am I getting 'VIs using Latched/Snap boolean cannot be downloaded' message when trying to download to the FP2000?

    Using LabVIEW 6.0.3 RT

    LabVIEW RT has two modes of opeation: Development mode and Deployed mode.
    In the development mode Labview provides you with a USER INTERFACE for debugging purposes but at the end you want to be in the Deployed mode where you develop the user interface to communicate with your embedded vi with differents ways like TCP/IP, UDP, DataSocket, VI SERVER, etc.
    Therefore, not all the mechanical actions for boolean controls/indicators are supported under real time.
    Remember that you dont have a physical interaction with the interface.
    In the figure 2 you can see the 6 diferents mechanical actions available for LabVIEW, however for the VIs that are going to be embedded the only 4 supported are
    the first two colums. If you use one of the two in the last colum
    n you will get the warning message when trying to download the application.
    You will need to use the supported mechanical actions for your application.

  • I get "an error has occured" when trying to download from the AppStore.  I can not re-download as the button is not active.

    I encountered the response "an error has occured" when I downloaded Maverick X from the App Store.  I can not try to re-download as the download button is not active.  I have tried rebooting and to get the download from apple.com but it keeps redirecting to the App Store.
    Suggestions?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Anyone experienced an issue with 'insufficient privileges' notification in the current iTunes when trying to download from the store or import a CD?

    Since changing iTunes to the current version, I've experienced an issue when trying to either download from the store or import a CD.
    I keep getting a pop-up message that says I have insufficient privileges to perform the action.
    A bit weird as I'm the admin for the iMac.
    Anyone else seen this and know a fix?
    Thanks.

    I've also come to the conclusion that this is a router problem, as I don't have this issue at all when I'm at work.
    It's a old router, and we've had problems with other devices not wanting to connect to it in the past.
    I'm sure theres some way to solve this issue, but I think, rather then sittin gon hold, to figure this issue out, and my router having issues prior to this, I'm just going to pick up a new router at this point.
      I hope any of this has helped someone get their issue, at least temporarily solved.

  • When installing a FF software update the Downloading Firefox window just hangs forever when trying to connect to the update server. Why?

    I have Forefox 4.0 for Yahoo! UK and Ireland
    Operating system is Windows Vista and my current location is Japan
    No other technical problems experienced

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Error message "You are running an operating system that After Effects no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms." when trying to download free trial of after effects. What do I do?

    I need help, I am an idiot and have an assignment due today at 1:30pm. I thought that I would be able to do a simple download, but I get this error msg and I don't know what other options I have. Is it 100% impossible for me to download this on my machine?

    Hi ,
    I am afraid you would not be able to use After Effects CC 2014 and CC, as there were not testes on version 10.6.8.
    I have two suggestions to make for you.
    Upgrade your machine to latest hardware and software as per system requirements and try to make the most of it.
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.8 or v10.9
    4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    5 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive fi le system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space for disk cache (10 GB recommended)
    1440 x 900 display
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, validation of subscriptions, and access to online services.*
       2.  You can try to use After Effects version  CS 6 on your machine.

  • Can't get past Change in Terms and Conditions when trying to download from the App store

    So, I noticed that this was a problem back in 2012, and was somehow resolved, but I am experiencing it now on my Macbook Pro. When I try to download and app, a window pops up stating that Apple has changed its terms and conditions and that I need to agree to them. So I scroll through, open to full frame in order to check the agree box, and nothing happens. Is there another box I am missing? Should I be redirected to another screen? When I click back to purchase, it asks me again to read the terms and conditions.
    This same thing happened on my iphone 5, but when I clicked agree, it asked me a few more times, but then allowed me to continue with updates.

    Apple servers are overloaded with the release of iOS 7.

  • When downloading Windows Support Software from BCA, download freezes at about a sixth of the way

    When I download the Windows Support Software from BCA, the progress bar freezes at about a sixth of the way through. I took my MBP to the genius bar, and they told me I should use a USB drive instead of a DVD, but even when I use a USB the problem persists. I've even tried saving it straight to my Windows Partition, and the same thing happens. I've seen many people with a similar problem, but instead of getting something like "The Windows Support Software is not available", my download just freezes. I tried to uncheck "Auto Proxy Discovery" in system preferences, but it already was. I also heard you could use the drivers on the SL installation disc, but I have a late 2011 MBP, which came with Lion, so I don't have an install disc. Does anybody else have the same problem or a solution? Any help would be appreciated.

    Oops, sorry. I meant to say Release Preview, not Consumer Preview
    Like I said before, the progress bar just freezes when I do what http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4407 says. Also, that article was for an MBA late 2010, but I have an MBP 8,2 (late 2011). I don't think that makes a difference, though. The only thing I actually need the drivers for is for the wifi card, which W8 RP doesn't seem to detect. I tried looking for BCM4331 drivers on the internet, but apparently, broadcom doesn't let you download their drivers, but anyways, thanks for the reply.
    This is exactly where the download always freezes, about a sixth of the way through:

  • Problem Downloading Windows Support Software

    Hello,
    I opened up Boot Camp Assistant and tried to download the Windows Support Software, however, when I click Continue, I get a pop-up saying,
    "The start-up disk does not have enough space to be partitioned. You must have at least 10GB of free space available."
    I tried deleting some files and applications, so now I have 14.25GB available, but I'm still getting the same error.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Woo

    The space must be contiguous, not fragmented, but in addition to that you do not have enough space at all.
    40-50G for Windows 7, 20G for XP, plus OSX needs 10% free, you will never make it.
