Has anybody encountered a problem with the USB driver when running Windows 7 on MacBook Pro 2010 (MC371)?
It doesn’t recognize any USB drives or USB hard drives. I’ve tried both Windows Update and Bootcamp update — nothing helps. Where can I find a proper driver?

Is your Windows 7 64-bit? If so, you might want to install the drivers in the Mac OS X DVD.

Try to Uninstall the USB host drivers using device manager and then «Scan for hardware changes» to re-install them.
Might not work but its worth a try.

The drivers that come with windows should work already. Bootcamp doesn’t install any new driver USB-wise.
Most likely you got a bad windows installation. I would try the same disc on another machine just to be sure.
edit: Unless, of course, it’s not an issue with the USB itself. Here’s a good troubleshooting guide from microsoft. The only thing that it says about the USB itself is that it may be defective — even if it works on Mac. Hardware issues can be quite complex.

Finally, I’ve got the solution. Yesterday I’ve updated both Win 7 and Windows Bootcamp, and the system found the hardware.

Я пытаюсь установить Windows 8.1 на мой iMac 2011. У меня установлена последняя версия El Capitan.
Это может показаться не трудно, потому что я мог бы просто использовать Bootcamp правильно?
Ну, неправильно. Я не могу использовать bootcamp, потому что он не дает мне возможности создать загрузочный USB-накопитель.
Я знаю, что есть способ обойти это путем изменения .plist файл внутри приложения bootcamp. Но я говорил со службой поддержки apple, и они говорят, что эти системные файлы теперь исправлена, и больше не редактируется.
поэтому я использовал другой компьютер, чтобы сделать загрузочный USB-накопитель, но, к сожалению, Bootcamp не распознает этот USB-накопитель.
после этого я попытался записать ISO-файл на DVD, но bootcamp тоже не распознает это. (Я думаю, что это может быть, потому что может быть проблема с superdrive в моем iMac)
Так что проблема в том, что Bootcamp не распознает ничего загрузочного, что я создаю, будь это USB дисковод или DVD-диск не распознаются.
Я также не могу установить Windows, используя функцию Bootcamp, которая позволяет установить его, используя только ISO-файл на компьютере, потому что версия bootcamp, которая установлена на моем iMac также не имеет этой функции.
может кто-нибудь помочь мне? Я бы предпочел не использовать сторонние способы установки Windows, мне нравится использовать Bootcamp. Заранее спасибо!

Буткамп не видит загрузочную флэшку, которую только что создал
Всем привет, друзья.
Такая ситуация: пытаюсь накатить винду посредством буткамп ассистант на мак. Удачно прошел первые два пункта: восстановить iso образ на флэшку и скачать latest support software. А на следующем пункте проблема. Ругается, говорит, что installer disk типа cannot be found, хотя флешка вот она.
Нюанс в том, что буткамп уже был однажды установлен на этом компе, но потом я его снес (мало места отвел, захотел сделать раздел побольше). Аналогичная проблема возникла на Macbook Air после аналогичных манипуляций (накачен и снесен буткамп, второй раз не встает).
Флэшка — 32 гига.
Комп — MBP 15 Retina, mid 2012.
OS Maverics.
Образ для Win 8, хотя и с семеркой пробовал.
Кто знает, может есть какой-то квик фикс? А то не охота манипуляций с Winclone, хочется просто ткнуть кнопочку и чтобы оно встало.
Заранее спасибо.
There are a few potential reasons that BootCamp Assistant might not be recognizing a USB drive:
1. The drive might not be formatted correctly
The drive might not be formatted correctly. BootCamp Assistant requires that drives be formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) in order to be recognized. The drive might be too small. BootCamp Assistant requires that drives be at least 8 GB in order to be recognized.
2. The drive might be faulty
The drive might be faulty. If the drive is not functioning properly, BootCamp Assistant will not be able to recognize it. If BootCamp Assistant is not recognizing a USB drive, the first thing to check is the drive’s format. If the drive is not formatted as MS-DOS (FAT), it will need to be reformatted before BootCamp Assistant will be able to recognize it.
The next thing to check is the size of the drive. If the drive is less than 8 GB, it will need to be replaced with a larger drive. Finally, if the drive appears to be functioning properly, it is possible that it is simply faulty and will need to be replaced.
How to Troubleshoot If BootCamp Assistant Is Not Recognizing USB Drive?
If you’re having trouble getting BootCamp Assistant to recognize your USB drive, there are a few things you can try.
-
- First, make sure that the USB drive is inserted into the computer correctly. If it’s not, unplug it and plug it back in.
-
- Next, try restarting your computer. This may reset the connection between the computer and the USB drive, and allow BootCamp Assistant to recognize it.
-
- Make sure that your USB drive is plugged into a USB 2.0 port. USB 3.0 ports are not compatible with BootCamp Assistant. If that doesn’t work, you can try using a different USB port. Sometimes, the connection between a particular USB port and the computer can become loose, causing problems with recognition.
-
- Finally, if all else fails, you can try reformatting the USB drive. Make sure that your USB is formatted as FAT32. BootCamp Assistant will not recognize exFAT or NTFS formatted drives. This will erase all the data on the drive, so make sure you have backups of any important files before doing this. To format the drive, open BootCamp Assistant and click on the Utilities menu at the top of the window. Then, select Disk Utility. Select the USB drive from the list of drives on the left, and then click on the Erase tab. Choose the desired format from the drop-down menu and click on the Erase button.
-
- If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Apple support for assistance.
What’s the Best Alternative to Boot Camp?
There are a few alternatives to Boot Camp, but the best one depends on your needs.
If you want to run Windows and macOS side-by-side, the best option is to use a virtual machine. Virtual machines allow you to run an operating system within another operating system, so you can run Windows on your Mac without having to reboot.
If you want to run Windows as your primary operating system, you can use a program like Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. These programs allow you to run Windows and macOS side-by-side, but they also allow you to run Windows as your primary operating system.
If you just want to run a few Windows programs on your Mac, you can use CrossOver. CrossOver allows you to run Windows programs on your Mac without having to install Windows.
