Direct download of Boot Camp 6 drivers

Please use an ethernet (wired) connection, if possible. From the OS X side, you can try

Please use Brigadier (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier). It is much more reliable than specific links, which can become stale very quickly. Here is an example of using it on the OSX side. I do not recommend using it on the Windows side.

MyName-rmbp:brigadier-master MyName$ ./brigadier -h

Usage: brigadier [options]

Options:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-m MODEL, --model=MODEL

System model identifier to use (otherwise this

machine's model is used). This can be specified

multiple times to download multiple models in a single

run.

-i, --install After the installer is downloaded, perform the install

automatically. Can be used on Windows only.

-o OUTPUT_DIR, --output-dir=OUTPUT_DIR

Base path where the installer files will be extracted

into a folder named after the product, ie.

'BootCamp-041-1234'. Uses the current directory if

this option is omitted.

-k, --keep-files Keep the files that were downloaded/extracted. Useful

only with the '--install' option on Windows.

-p PRODUCT_ID, --product-id=PRODUCT_ID

Specify an exact product ID to download (ie.

'031-0787'), currently useful only for cases where a

model has multiple BootCamp ESDs available and is not

downloading the desired version according to the post

date.

MyName-rMBP:brigadier-master MyName$ ./brigadier -m MacBook8,1 -o Bootcamp-MacBook8,1

Output directory Bootcamp-MacBook8,1 that was specified doesn't exist!

MyName-rMBP:brigadier-master MyName$ mkdir Bootcamp-MacBook8.1

MyName-rMBP:brigadier-master MyName$ ./brigadier -m MacBook8,1 -o Bootcamp-MacBook8.1

1. Please see BootCamp 6 update not available on MacBook Pro mid 2012 with Windows 10 for the two methods supported by Apple to get BC6 drivers.

2. You can manually download BC6 drivers from Apple CDN using Brigadier (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier) by specifying your model number available from How to identify MacBook Pro models - Apple Support .

3. Please also see Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support .

Try this: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/10/60/031-30899/6u2bha6n3pckjca1j44jw9m 28yq72nh6li/AppleBcUpdate.exe

can someone please refresh this dropbox link since it is not working anymore.

thank you

I used brigadier for download. ;-) Thanks for posting!

Can't use the normal way for downloading the newest drivers... 😢

My MacBook Pro is one model too old for Apple to give me access to the drivers the normal way... 😠

Apple please help us. Pretty much in the same scenario. My track pad and camera no longer works in windows 10. For some reason I need to restore Windows 10 to the default settings and doing so uninstalled Bootcamp utility, I know its Microsoft fault. But we need to reinstall the drivers manually anyway & something is not right with Bootcamp Utility in Mac as its downloading the driver like forever even in fast internet connections.

Please just provide a direct link just like the older drivers you had.

Thank you very much

I know that Apple wants to diversify, but Oil Fracking is probably not in there interest right now.. Maybe they can write 'drivers' for the Tesla instead. 😝

I am glad you found the BC drivers.

Why there is not direct download to version 6.0 like there is to 5.1 ????

The Apple Software Update was created to allow updates more frequently as compared to a one-time installation of BC drivers. 😉

If you insist on a direct link, use Brigadier as posted.

Dear I have lost my boot camp in windows. How can I bring back my boot camp in windows. By the way it was there before but windows did some corrections and after that it removed it , including all softwares and made the windows fresh again but without boot camp. Now I don't have option to go back in mac nor I have apple features in windows 10.

You are my hero =D

searched for hours before...

Please see your Re: My Macbook pro retina 2015 doesn't recognize my bootable thumb drive for a reply.
