How to install the Boot Camp 3.1 update


Mac Windows

This very brief tutorial will show you how to install the 3.1 Boot Camp Update in Windows.

  1. Make sure you’ve booted your Mac into Windows. From the Start menu select All Programs and then Apple Software Update

  2. Make sure there’s a check mark in the box labeled Boot Camp Update (version 3.1) and click the Install 1 Item button. Note: you can also install iTunes, QuickTime, Safari etc – but it’s not mandatory.

  3. The Apple Software Updater will now download the Boot Camp Update.

  4. The installation will take place right after the download has completed. You may notice that your screen flickers a few times during the installation – this is totally normal.
