Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello,
I have just got a new 21" iMac i7 with 1TB fusion drive, I have also already downloaded the iso image of windows 7 and boot camp 5 drivers from apple.com and copied them to a USB drive, now when I am tring to boot camp my iMac I cant uncheck the second option which is (downloading windows support files) which I have already done, what do you guys recommend :/ I am really depressed 😟 !!
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
The Late 2013 iMac needs a special Boot Camp software that you can't download from the Apple site. In other words, the Boot Camp support software you downloaded isn't supported on your Mac.
Open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps. To install Windows, note that you need a legal product key and a full 64-bit Windows 7 or 8 version. See > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
Still not working 😢 note I am using a USB stick not a DVD to install the windows
It doesn't mind. Make sure you are using different USB drives for the Boot Camp drivers and for the Windows 7 installer
I am done, It wont work, Thanks anyways for helping 🙂
Sorry I could not help you, but this is strange. The last option you have is to install Windows on a virtual machine, using Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. You won't have any problem by using the virtual machine. I recommend you to try VirtualBox first
Yea I have installed parallels, its not that bad.
Can't uncheck second option when bootcamping
