Apple Releases Boot Camp 1.2

Just noticed a typo in the spash screen after you click download on the website.... "Boot Camp is just one of many new features in Mac OS X Leopard, the next major release of Mac OS X, due out by Spring of 2007"

See if you can spot it ;)


PS. If only it was true :apple:

Well spotted!

If it was true, Apple stock would have doubled by now :D
 
Well dang, still no feature to see OS X's drive under Windows or the ability to write to window's drive from OS X......:mad:

Hey, I thought this was a hardware defect! Guess I'm not alone....Good to know.

I hope not, lol :p

It doesn't do it in Mac OS X, only in Windows, and only since I installed Apple's previous Boot Camp drivers (that added two-fingered scrolling). The mouse locks up because the trackpad for some reason thinks two fingers are touching it even when only one is (you can't move the mouse, but you can still scroll).

It didn't do it in Windows with the original Boot Camp drivers (before the two-fingered scrolling).

Windows can not see OS X's drive because it lacks the capability to read HFS. There's a program called MacDrive to add that.

Mac OS X can write to Windows drives if you chose FAT32 during installation. I did. You must have chose NTFS, which Mac OS X cannot write to.

Well that just sucks. FAT32 is horrible :mad:
 
well that's nice!

I only wish they would've released it on Tuesday to make us feel better and make their stock go up!

It looks like we don't get any video card drivers. I still show the original ones from March 2006.

It looks like the update was very painless and didn't even require the removal of the previous 1.1.2 drivers and support software. Here are some nice additions! :D

- Apple Remote Support
- Apple Software Update (Already trying to push iTunes and Quicktime for Windows as well!)
- Apple Boot Camp Help Documentation
- No Unknown hardware in Device Manager
 
I wish Apple would allow BootCamp to create partitions and allow us to install other OSes (e.g. Ubuntu) and triple boot (or quad boot...etc.). Parallels is ok but limiting and doesn't make the most of the hardware.
 
The install disk works perfectly now.Everything in the device manager shows as working..

I can't get the iSight to work under windows movie maker though.Anyone else have this problem?

All in all.A good update.
 
This effects all VMs in any virtualization software for one reason. Activation. You may have issues keeping your copy of windows activated. Because Vista has a different activation scheme. With XP, Parallels writes out special code when you close to make sure it stays activated under bootcamp and parallels.
 
Forgive me if this is an already solved problem

When I first installed on my Mac Pro there was an issue with the hard drive drivers not being correct and having slow transfer speeds.

It used to be that you had to slipstream the XP install disk and there was not a way to go back and add the drivers. I installed before this was found and still have that installation on my MP.

I have not used XP much at all, so has that been fixed? Would I have to reinstall from scratch or would the new drivers and Boot Camp fix that?

Thanks!

Is this a good sign for Leopard?

Great news not because it supports vista but that it wont be delayed like it was reported a few days ago. My money is waiting for Leopard :D

To me, releasing an update to Bootcamp means that a Leopard releae is not imminent and they figured they'd better get an update out there so Vista users take advantage of Bootcamp and buy the hardware.
 
Can anyone confrim if two finger scrolling works?

And by works - I mean all the time, and that it resumes from sleep!

That's one thing I miss....
 
does skype work?

With my windows xp installation with 1.1.2 skype didn't work. Has anyone used skype with this release? It would be great if that was working I can't wait for until my MBP is indistinguishable from a typical windows machine (only at running windows that is)
 
I still can't install vista on my mac pro, I get the same error saying windows can't find a valid drive for installation.

I have my mac boot drive in bay 1, the drive I want vista installed onto in bay 2, and 500GB drives in bay 3 and 4. Does anyone out there have any input or suggestions?
 
Does anyone know how to uninstall 1.12's Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP completely? I know it's not required but I'd like to do it before upgrading. When I click on Remove in Add/Remove Programs, it simply re-installs the drivers instead of uninstalling them.

very good news, it means that progress is indeed being made despite too much criticism now. not shame on the criticism, but apple's big secrecy. they are too much often... bother it all, i cannot wait for it.
