Can't finish windows installation because of no keyboard or mouse

Hello there


Well.. I try to install Windows 7 on my iMac 27" late 2013 via bootcamp.

All the process is ok untill the first Windows 7 screen (country selection etc...) : Both keyboard and mouse don't work...

I tried with wireless keyboard or mouse, wired keyboard and wired mouse... but i don't have pointer and i can't keep on the installation.


Any help please ?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

this happens alot, use a usb2 flash drive (not usb3) and as a precaution for other issues, also disconnect any other usb devices except your kb and mouse

So I tried my very best and started all over:

1. Created a USB 2.0 disk via the Bootcamp Assitant

2. Downloaded the BootCamp5.1.5640 files and put them on the disk, replacing the old (Assistant’s) files.

3. Rebooted trying all usb ports with no success.

5. copied the Intel USB hub drivers mentioned earlier to the disk: not successful anymore.


I’m hopeless getting windows 7 to work im my mac. I’ll give Windows 8.1 a try.

Thanks for helping!

No, i'll stay on maverick for a while.

I tried Windows 8.1 and could install it within no time and with no problems, so I will stay with this. All is running fine!

All I have to do is getting a proper license. I'm evaluating right now.

Thanks for your help and support, loner T, I appreciate this!

Happy New year and a good time to you!
