Enable Bootcamp to install from usb for OSX 10.9**WORKS**

After doing those steps I am still getting the error after trying to start bootcamp. I am also getting this message in the terminal

/Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: replacing existing signature

/Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app: code object is not signed at all

I fixed this by adding --deep at end of terminal command.

So it became:

sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app --deep

For my MBP mid-2010, this worked nicely for creating the USB drive (but you don't need to use Bootcamp for that, by the way). Installation failed, badly.

I posted a rough guideline in a different thread, that's the only thing that worked for me - and trust me, I did pretty much everything else: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6090542?answerId=25476940022#25476940022

this solved my problem with crashing boot camp after modifying the plist.

Thanks!

Solved that too.

Simply I don't use BootCamp drivers at all, let Windows 8.1 find what it needs and then pick up what the system can't find from BootCamp 4.x: Nvidia 320m, Coprocessor, SMBus, Bluetooth.

The problem is with audio: even though I download Cirrus drivers the system keeps saying "the drivers are up to date". So is there a way to force it?

@pumar

can u please provide detailed steps to your solution?
I have the exact OS installed: Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64 bit)

You my friend, saved me!

Me, I had issues with this that were solved by installing (and starting once) Xcode, just in case somebody experiences the same problem.

In short: you need Xcode for the signature move.

Hi

I would like to un-do the usb-enable option.

How can I go back to the original bootcamp application that came with my macbook pro 8,2 ?

Thanks

p.s. i unfortunately do not have the original info.plist file.

Hi All, i have changed the file and bootcamp let's me create the USB install, however my imac can't/won't find the usb drive to boot from on reboot? Any Help? Am on a Imac 7,1 Boot Rom IM71.007A.B03

Thanks

Hi Roger

Here is mine, don't why it shouldn't work. Don't worry it's the original. Just edit the file and replace. You might have to recert the file, not sure. If boot camp wont run after you have changed the file run this in terminal

Terminal

sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app

Bootcamp File Code.

Many Thanks,

My superdrive refuse to read DVD DL...

Doesn't work for me. I've got a MacBook Pro 15" Ultimo 2011.

I replaced the internal DVD drive with an extra harddisk unto which I want to install Windows 7.

Boot Camp creates USB drives which you cannot boot from. rEFIt allows me to boot from it, but I always get "No bootable device" or a BCD error (if I try to boot with EFI).

I've been trying to get Windows 7 on this device for nearly a month now and I'm about to give up. This is insanity. :|

I have a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013, with 1 TB SSD, no other drives (optical, etc) so can only use a USB for BootCamp. Same issues with USB 2.0 stick.

Would be nice if there was a simple BootCamp install for SSD systems.

No Bootcamp for me :-(

remove the old info.plist backup from the contents folder (move it out to the desktop and delete it from the folder)... that fixed it for me...

Is there a way to get this working for Windows 8? I tried this method and it says Windows 8 is not supported for my Macbook Pro (late 2008, 15 inch).
