The USB drive that Boot Camp made for you will be there for you to install windows from. When its done, restart your mac and hold the option key. Have the Windows ISO handy, and plug in a flash drive thats about 4-8 GB or more.


This time it will work.Īfter you've done that - open your hacked Boot Camp Assitant (it should run now) and have it make the Windows installation drive for you. (You don't need to install the whole X-Code, if it asks.) Once its been installed (its automatic), you need to go BACK to Terminal and run that command again. Then it will say you need to download a developer tool from Apple. Sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app Open Terminal (use spotlight to find it) and type this:

Boot Camp Assitant will not run if it's been edited. Once you make these changes, save the file and replace the old ist with your new one.Use the "Boot ROM Version" and "Model Identifier" as appropriate in the plist. Besides, my mid-2014 is still working very well. I have a new job that requires more computing power and a lot more storage, but I have no money to buy a new computer. You can find the right codes to use for the plist by going to Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > System Report. Hi all, I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) with 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, Intel Iris 1536 MB graphics, and 128GB of Flash Storage. To add your model to these lines, just copy and paste an exsiting row and replace the data between the two tags with your model code. Remove your model from Win7OnlyModels (if its there).Delete the word "Pre" from USBBootSupportedModels and add your model.Delete the word "Pre" from UEFIModels and add your model.Add your model to DARequiredROMVersions.Find ist in the Contents folder and edit it in Text Edit (it will make you duplicate the file first).Right click Boot Camp Assistant and view package contents.Rename it something like "Info old.plist" or "Original Boot Camp Assistant."įirst, edit the plist of Boot Camp Assistant: Back up OSX before you mess something up.īefore you do anything, make a backup of ist or the whole Boot Camp Assitant app so that you can go back if necessary. Those hybrid disks were used up until one of the recent versions of the MBP that had a SuperDrive, just before Internet Recovery became a thing.I copied that for you. If you have an older MBP with installation media, one of the disks is Windows-readable and contains a version of the BootCamp drivers as well. Just go ahead and use the option to create install media without Bootcamp, and download the drivers yourself. It doesn't mean your internet is completely broken or that your network cable is bent just a bit too far ) There are so many things between an app trying to download something and the whole chain up to Apple's download server that could have gone wrong. So basically, it might be a problem at Apple's distribution servers, a problem in the API providing the BootCamp assistant with the latest data on how to download the right files, or it could be a problem with a request timeout. "network problem" means: "I tried to download stuff, but it failed for some sort of reason you can't fix and neither can I, good luck and try again". Once, the drivers are installed, you will be able to do this from the desktop. This can be done by holding down the option key at startup, then selecting OS X. If you do get windows to install without the downloaded drivers installed, you will need to be able to boot back to OS X. If you are having network problems, can you continue the install without having the "Download the latest Windows support software for Apple" box checked off? "See Install Windows support software" in the Install Windows on your Mac. This is what I did with my clean install of the windows 8 operating system. I believe "the creation of the usb install flash drive" can be separated from "the download of the drivers." You should be able to install windows first, then install the drivers later. This should give you an alternative to downloading from Bootcamp. The files, you need to download for your MacBook Pro, can be found at: Boot Camp Support Software Other Mac computers use one of the links below:įrom here, I went to the web site: Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems to determine which driver files to download. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014).Using the web site How to identify MacBook Pro models, I determined your computer is: UPDATE: How to download and install the driver files without using Bootcamp.
