Q: What version of Bootcamp do I need?
Hi,
I've got a Macbook Pro late 2013/mid 2014 (model A1398) running Windows 7. I got a set of Jaybird X2 Bluetooth headphones for Christmas that I've been trying to get to work. I've been completely unsuccessful. I'm able to pair the headphones but there are about four drivers missing and there's no sound.
The Jaybird website doesn't have drivers. They say I need to get the latest drivers from http:\\support.apple.com. I decided that I'd try downloading the latest Bootcamp drivers. That's where I've run into problem.
From what I can tell, the latest Bootcamp software for Windows 7 on my macbook is (5.1.5640). I download it and tried to run setup but I get a message that the software is not for my model of computer. I booted up to OSX and let it decide what version of Bootcamp to install and I get the same error message from that.
Does anyone know what version of Bootcamp I need to download to get the latest drivers?
