Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit Installation Error

I have run windows on parallels but the software I need to run our business program does not work on it, the program we use is AGRO IT which was built especially for our branch of business. I switch between other work stations to gather the information I need to do my work, As said here above, I shall endeavour to install windows 8.1 and see if that solves the usb problem, I also need to use a windows keyboard as I use the F keys and page up and down which are not supported on the imac keyboard, thanks for your idea though, maybe it will help others suffering from the same problem, I have been over to the dutch forum, and there are far more people there with the same problem I am having, USB ports not working. All very strange indeed.

I have the same problems that you are discribing . It does not see the USB because the drivers are not installed. There is someone who said EXTRACT the files from BootCamp 5X but I think he is talking about before the upgrade to BootCamp 6. So that solution does not work.

I have had programs that did not run on Paralles but it worked on VirtualBox (Mine was Esignal). Please try VirtualBox before a solution can be found. When install VirtualBox make sure you install drivers after.

You can see that the solution that was posted the person said it was so long ago that he does not even remember if the file is zipped or not. This is fresh problem. I was running BootCamp until last week why did I want to upgrade to BootCamp 6 only heaven knows why I did that.

My next move is to try and see if I can install Windows 10 on BootCamp, the reason is Apple said they will not support Windows 7 anymore. There is the headline below. I have tried to install Windows 8.1 it also did not work after the upgrade. I wish I didn't format my USB which had the old files (BootCamp 5X).

Windows 7 In Boot Camp No Longer Supported By Apple’s New MacBooks

Hi Joe, BootCamp 6 is only for new computers, you have to look here for the drivers for your Mac first go to about my mac and see what age it is

this says late 2012 on my mac so I went to this page Systeemvereisten voor het installeren van Windows op een Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support scroll down until found my computer it says I need the software

Boot Camp-ondersteuningssoftware 5.1.5621

which I downloaded before hand. then I used bootcamp to do its work, only using the first 2 options in bootcamp before the install windows. When that had finished I double clicked on the zip file of the windows software 5.1.5621 which then opened it into a normal file which I copied to the root of the thumb drive already prepared by bootcamp, replacing the files in there. Then went back to bookcamp and went to the install windows, which it did, but usb ports not working. so back into mac par. copied the contents of the downloaded drivers, put them onto the bootcamp partition in a map where I could find them, went back into w7 found them and click on install, all the drivers were installed, but the usb ports still not working. I am now installing windows 8.1 and see if that helps. Bootcamp 6 is for new computers and those installing windows 10 only. The rest of us can just sit and wait for them to solve this problem, that everyone seems to be having.😠

Yeah, I have New Computer. I upgraded. I really don't need BootCamp, I found solutions to connect to the Network & printing is not a problem for me to the Network. Between the 4 VM's there a solution out there not to use BootCamp, Linux, VMware, Parallels and VirtualBox. I have used all four and VirtualBox and Parallels are the once I use the most.

I wish I could get my hands on the software that you are using, but I think it must be an expensive piece of software.

HIp hip horea, installed windows 8.1 everything working! windows 7 Not supported anymore? Otherwise I have no idea. Now I can join my server and get some work done

Misty, I wish I had mentioned that about Windows 7 not supported anymore by Apple. You also gave me an Idea to get the Key for Windows 10, I can't install Windows 8.1 because it is ENTERPRISE the one I have and no upgrade for Windows 8.1 ENT. Now I am testing to install Windows 10 and use the key that I did I get after the upgrade. BUT as I said I don't need Bootcamp for me it is just a playgroud just one more toy, I don't want to be left behind.

Nobody mentioned it here, and strange is that driver pack for windows said it was for windows 7 or 8. Well at least I am up and running again now, now get google chrome to sync my account there would be nice, tried everything just does not work, so glad I have a mac everything syncs just fine, with my ipad and iphone.

Are you syncing Google private account or Business Account?

private account, never had this problem before, I have done everything they suggest but to no avail, just not working. I went back into mac, made an html file of my favorites and bookmarks and put them in that way, but can sync how it should do.

Let me know if you have any questions

Done all of this, nothing works 😢

Are you on the network? Ask your IT dept if google is blocked? It might be blocked on the firewall. I was on a firewall but I never had that problem.

Google isnt blocked on our network which I set up myself

Problem solved, uninstall deleted windows file of chrome, and re install of chrome solved it for me🙂

It is mentioned clearly in System requirements to install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support . 😉
