Help anyone with Mac Pro 3,1 10.9

[Gav Mack]

Could you please stick a usb stick in, run boot camp assistant and tick the support software and see if it downloads the boot camp drivers for Windows 7 please?

After a box pops up saying its for Windows 7 only it's pops up another dialog box that the software isn't available on the update server. It's been like that since Sunday. I will be relieved to know I'm not the only one cos it's holding me finishing off my software setup

Thanks

Bump - it still says no Mac Pro 3,1 bootcamp 5.1 software for Windows 7 is available on the software update server. Been a week now!

I don't want any 10.9 3,1 user to install bootcamp - nothing anywhere near as drastic, just tick the software support box only and see if it downloads.

Bumper!

Another MP 3,1 user would like to know!

Is there anybody out there?

Hi,

I formatted a USB Flash drive to FAT32 - ran Boot Camp Assistant - Version 5.1.2 (484) - and selected Download Windows supprt software. A screen pooped up telling me my computer only supported Windows 7 - I accepted and continued. The download now seems to be frozen about 15% of the way. I'll leave it going for a while. If it downloads completely, I'll stuff it and YouSendIt to you if you want...

I'm in South Africa. Running 10.9.5 on a crippled macPro 3,1 (one of my processors just went AWOL!)

Hope this helps...

Update: 11 minutes, and download still appears frozen at 15%...

Update: 25 minutes... I think it has moved. My eyes are now going screwy.

It finally downloaded. I have compressed it and am uploading it to my Dropbox.

DM me with your emails and I'll send you a link - if you are interested.

I'll store it for a few days then going to have to delete it to make space.

Peace.

The OP started this thread a couple of years ago, so the OP may have resolved the problem and moved on. It was very kind of you to help out, but I hope they are not still waiting.

Haha. Too funny. I misread their post dates. Saw 2015 instead of 2013... That post was suggested to me because I guess I just posted about my sad Mac woes.

Thanks for pointing that out. Doh!

(Yes - I hope they aren't still waiting!)
