updated after BootCamp 5 release June 2013. Marvel as all your Apple hardware now works nearly as well as it does in Mac OS X. Once you're in Windows, run the installer that you saved to CD or thumb drive.You can now proceed with Boot Camp assistant Windows installation, which will eventually reboot your machine for startup in Windows.NB, it's still 660MB or more, so it's a full CDs worth of burning time. The point here is that you need the somewhere that a new install of windows with only minimal drivers can read them. Copy them to a thumb drive or a burnable CD or something.Again, the page at bootcamp-driver-download has pictures to help. The folder contains a nest of folders, the last of which contains a dmg disk image file.Once your pkg is downloaded, double click it and install to a folder on your hard drive so you know where to find it.I try to keep the page at bootcamp-driver-download up to date with all the pkg download URLs. Having found your 041-XXXXX number, download the BootCampESD.pkg url that has your number in it.click Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More Info… -> Report -> Hardware -> and now read down the Hardware Overview looking for "Model Identifier:" How do you know your Model Identifier? Open System Information, and look in the Hardware Overview section.For instance the 041-2011 file contains these models: MacBook2,1 MacBook3,1 MacBook4,1 MacBook5,1 MacBook5,2 MacBook5,3 MacBook6,1 MacBook7,1 MacBookAir1,1 MacBookAir2,1 MacBookAir3,1 MacBookAir3,2 MacBookPro2,1 MacBookPro2,2 MacBookPro3,1 MacBookPro4,1 MacBookPro5,1 MacBookPro5,2 MacBookPro5,3 MacBookPro5,4 MacBookPro5,5 MacBookPro6,1 MacBookPro6,2 MacBookPro7,1 MacBookPro8,1 MacBookPro8,2 MacBookPro8,3 MacPro1,1 MacPro2,1 MacPro3,1 MacPro4,1 MacPro5,1 Macmini2,1 Macmini3,1 Macmini4,1 iMac5,1 iMac6,1 iMac7,1 iMac8,1 iMac9,1 iMac10,1 iMac11,1 iMac11,2 iMac11,3 iMac12,1 iMac12,2.For instance MacBookPro5,2 or Macmini4,1 or whatever Search for the Model Identifier for your Mac.Paste the URL for each such English.dist file into your browser and open the Url.Below each such occurrence, notice a URL for a file with the same 041-XXXXX in it and ending in English.dist, e.g.Notice in each such URL, the /041-2011/ or similar /041-XXXXX/ bit of it.For instance, the one I needed is 041-2011/pRtCDYcWShMLxFgg圓TzFzmfnnWQNFQBfJ/ BootCampESD.pkg Search for each occurrence - as at August 2012 there were 6 - of BootCampESD.pkg.
Instead, open it in a text editor or word processor.
My steps to download the Lion or Mountain Lion drivers were as follows: How to Manually Download Windows Drivers for Macs Running BootCamp 4 or BootCamp 5 Tim Valenta did instructions in Nov 2011 that nearly worked for me in June 2012 at except that again, 6 months on, the catalog file seems to be laid out everso slightly differently and the file downloaded is now in an easier to use format.How to find the right one for your machine? The sucatalog file in question contains several different links to bootcampesd.pkg, fordifferent Mac models. Apple software update uses an sucatalog file, which contains a link to a BootCampESD.pkg file which contains the drivers.The DIY way to find your BootCampESD.pkg download link from the sucatalog There are also older links here, but they appear to be redundant - the Mountain Lion file covers Mac models going back to Leopard.įinally, the DIY solution: Work out for yourself which download link you need. The simple solution – recommended – is to use this list of Windows driver download links for Macs with OS X Mountain Lion (which includes all retina display macs) or Lion, Snow Leopard or Leopard. The brute force solution: it's a darned large download, so physically take your machine to somewhere with a very fast internet connection that can download 600MB - 1GB in a couple of minutes. Do you find that BootCamp assistant download is stuck or or fails or could not continue?
