I am running mac os high sierra 10.13.3 and I want to install windows 7 and dual boot my MacBook, I have successfully created a bootable window 7 USB drive with Bootcamp 5 driver on the pen drive, When I start installing windows 7 boot camp show me this message ( Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD.)

This is not valid. Either use a single 64-bit DVD (or equivalent ISO from Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files) ). Do not modify the Bootcamp Info.plist, which leads to more issues. There is no need to modify this file on a late 2013 Mac.

Hi folks,
I use to switch from PC to Mac OS by clicking on OS in the Bootcam icon in the notifications area. But now when I want to switch to OS, a message will pop up "OS volume can not be found ".
I started experiencing this issue after updating the Bootcam via the Apple update and also the Mac OS to High Sierra 10.13.
Is anyone experiencing same?
Am using MacBook air 13, 2015.

This problem is happening because windows can't recognize the partition with high sierra on it.
When Apple updated to the new os, they switched to a new file system called APFS.
Unfortunately windows can't recognize a partition with this file system on it. For now you'll have to switch by holding down the option key at startup and selecting the os you want from there.
You can still select windows from the startup disk options in system preferences from mac os, but you'll have to use the hold option method to move back to mac from the windows side.

Steps to recreate the issue on a mid-2013 MBA running macOS 10.13 with primary macOS volume formatted as APFS and Bootcamp partition running Windows 10 formatted as NTFS:
1. Boot into Windows in the Mac's Bootcamp partition.
2. From the Windows Bootcamp utility menu, choose "Restart in OS X."
3. If prompted, choose OK to verify.
4. The system fails to restart from Windows and a dialog box appears with the message, "Could not locate the OS X boot volume."

Workaround:
1. Shut down or restart Windows.
2. As the Mac is starting up, press the Option key to boot to the Mac Startup Manager.
3. Use the left or right arrow keys to select the desired OS and press return to boot into the selected OS.

I cannot get into OS X anymore. People from apple told me to use the 'alt' button, and this worked for some weeks, but now it doesn't anymore. I contacted the apple desk and they told me that I could force my way in by using 'alt+cmd+R+P'. I've been able to reach OS X, but only twice. After that it didn't work anymore. Now it seems like nobody knows what to do about it. Can somebody help me?

the situation is even worst then you describe. I recently purchased a brand new MacBook Pro 15. you can not set up bootcamp from fresh if you have high Sierra . on top of that apple support does not let you to bring it to a store. instead they try to waste your time with a multiple layer of technicians on the phone each claiming they are more capable then the previous of who already wasted 2 hours of your life trying some bizarre thing. Like "Turn Off Time Machine. Let your Mac wait for 90 Minutes to settle" before your try again setting up "Bootcamp and disc partition. And of course it does not work. They also enjoy asking the same question even when you give them the your previous case numbers. All they need to do is to read the case to see that those questions like "Have you used a back up when your set up this Mac ? Answer NO. already there. but instead of reading they enjoy getting in to your nerves. They can not understand the fact that Apple does not pay for our time as Clients.
There is something different with the way High Sierra organizes the File System and Bootcamp can not digest it. I describe it this easy but those highly paid genius engineers in Apple neither admit nor share it.I am out over 3K for a brand new MacBook Pro + AppleCare which I can not use for my business because I can not install Bootcamp. Do you think it is fair?

I made it work. I had to choose all the devices in the view menu. Now I am getting another issue. At the installation screen after a few minutes it says the macos cannot be installed, an error has ocurred. Press D for diagnostics and so on. and the only button I see its restart. Endless.
Any ideas? This is painfull.

The first thing you shouldve informed is that this steps does not work in system operating AMD CPUs, in order to avoid people lose their time trying, its not too hard to specify ONLY FOR INTEL USER IN THER TITLE at the beginning of the post.

AMD Ryzen user here, tried everything and wasted a lot of time trying to install your iso of high sierra and could not get pass the mac logo neither on VMware nor VirtualBox, it would be greatly appreciated if you had informed beforehand to AMD users to stay away.

Worked perfect except it said my installer package was damaged. Turned out to be a security cert expired issue affecting the package. The solution was to disconnect host from the internet, shutdown vmware (Exit), and set the system date back to early 2019. Then run the vmware vm again and launch the mac os installer, no more error.
