I have 2013 MacBook Pro 13" Retina. When I started to download windows support software from apple, then I got this message: Can't download the software because of a network problem. I would like to install Win 7_64 bit.
I dont have any connections problem and my network is going well. How can I get over this issue?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Apple servers seem to have an issue. Please retry.
The same issue like last time: Can't download the software because of a network problem.
you can just get the zip file manually
Tks. Even that i can't create Windows 7 install disk on my usb key, if i can't download Support Software.
Just check the second option. It should put a file in /Library/Application\ Support/Bootcamp called WindowsSupport.dmg, which BCA will re-use when you run this again, as long as there is not a very long time gap between this and running the BCA.
I have win 7_64.iso on my disk and i have no clue how to insert my win 7 and where on my 2013 mbp retina?
Second option:

Assuming the .iso is file somewhere on your Mac, if you go double-click on it, it automatically mounts the .iso disk image and should show files in a new Finder window.
On this screen, just check the 'Download the latest Windows software...' and click on Continue. You will need a USB, which BCA will erase. It will do two steps. Copy the software to your USB, and save a copy on your Mac. Once it completes, check both 'Create a Windows..." and 'Install Windows...', and it should ask you for the location of the .iso file, and use the saved copy of the drivers software.

I mounted .iso file, but BCA doesnt allow me to continue.
1. i downloaded Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 manually as you recommended me.
2. i cant create a bootable win 7_64 on my usb key, when i cant download support software automatically, because network issue.
3. i cant install win 7 (screenshot above), because os x 10.10 doesnt recognize mounted .iso file win 7_64
is there something wrong with my BCA 5.1.2 (497)? is there any update or anything what would help me to avoid this annoying situation?

Was it downloaded using BCA and the second checkbox via a browser? Please see http://imgur.com/a/S0Lsi#0
Downloading via browser will not save a copy in /Library/Application\ Support/Bootcamp directory. If you use Safari, it will unzip the .zip file. If you use Firefox, it will let you save it as a .zip file. You can try putting this file the directory mentioned (normally it expects a .dmg) and then run BCA a second time and check all three boxes.
3. i cant install win 7 (screenshot above), because os x 10.10 doesnt recognize mounted .iso file win 7_64
If either method is successful for downloading the support software, BCA should also prompt you for the location of W7/W8 ISO, before it tries to partition your disk.
I used Firefox to download it. It is .zip and there is no any .dmg file. There is one more thing, i didnt find /Library/Application\ Support/Bootcamp directory as you can see in screenshot below:
You can create it by hand. For example, on my Yosemite machine...
