You dont need ANY CD/DVD burning software on your Mac
Just plug in your LG DVD/CD player and follow the below instructions

  • I have a mac book air 11". When I boot up connected to the huge Thunderbolt  screen it detects the detects the fact and gives me great quality. now I am travelling away from the scree it boots up, nice picture, then switches to rubbish resolution.

    I have a Mac Book air 11". Normally at home I connect this to a large Thuderbolt Screen. When booting up it some times gets confused and offers me a low resolution result, but some plugging and unplugging of the screen fixes this. I assume it sometimes "sees" the big screen and sets the resolition accordingly. Sometimes does not. But now... I am away from big screen and cannot get the Macbook air on its one to deliver anything other than really poor resolution. I ahve done displays and chosen all three - but no better. And I have said Choose the Best ONe... again not luck. Any ideas. I read in back posts this was a problem a few years ago.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I believe you have a failing GPU (aka Video Card). Run AHT and see what it tells you. Do not be afraid to run it up to three times in succession if at first it does not detect an error (sometimes errors that are caused by overheating will not show up until the computer is stressed enough - repeating AHT will do that).
    As an aside - the MBA was not designed to take the place of a desktop. If you are powering your MBA by leaving it permanently attached to the thunderbolt port on the monitor you are shortening your battery life.

  • Is it okay to upgrade to mversion mavericks? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5 and my safari is not responding..

    i have a question is it okay to upgrade to OS mavericks? free upgrade? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5,

    Shouldn't be a problem if your Mac can run Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    As for Safari. When you say not responding, do you mean it won't open a window, or it won't load websites, or it won't launch at all?
    The more details you provide, the easier to help you.

  • I have a mac book air. I felt down and I have broken the screen: several white lines on the screen. Do you know if I can only change the screen? Is it expensive?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

  • I have a mac book air. Have had no issues with any virus before but today my safari page keeps directing me to a page which says " cyber crime" posing to be by Cheshire Police AUthority uk metropolitan police.Tells me that I have 24 hours

    I have a mac book air. Have had no issues with any virus before but today my safari page keeps directing me to a page which says " cyber crime" posing to be by Cheshire Police AUthority uk metropolitan police.Tells me that I have 24 hours to pay a 100 pounds.Using my ipad I looked it up and it appears to be a very common virus.I am worried about my Mac(relieved at the same time that I am not a cyber criminal
    !) so anyway what should I do.I tried to fonce quit and then open safari but only that page keeps opening up.Looking up online their was a suggestion to reset safari, but I am unable to click on the reset safari tab as the pop up for stay on page keeps coming up.i have switched off my lap top now.But am really worried.How can I get rid of it?

    It's not a virus. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
    Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • HT1338 I dont have a mac book air can you install apps like (angry birds, temple run)

    I dont have a mac book air. Can you install apps like angry birds and temple run?

    Can you install them on what? Those are both iOS apps (meaning they can be installed on iPods, iPhones and iPads), but iOS apps cannot be run on either a Mac or a PC. I believe that there is a Mac version of Angry Birds as well, which is completely separate from the iOS version of Angry Birds.

  • I have a Mac Book Air with 10.6.8. Is Montain Lion my only update option? Is it a must do?

    I have a Mac Book Air with 10.6.8. Is Montain Lion my only update option? Is it a must do? Thanks

    You can also get Lion, but personally, I think Mountain lion is what Lion was supposed to be.
    In any case, there is absolutely no reason for you to get either one; Snow Leopard is a nice and reliable OS - of course, if you want any of the added features of the newest OS, then you will have to buy and install it.
    So, the decision is up to you. Also note: any older PPC apps that still worked on Snow Leopard will no longer work on the new OS - you'd have to purchase upgrades if one is available.

  • I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my came

    I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?

    That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
    There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:

  • I bought Mountain LIon but no dmg is downloaded. I can see the invoice from Apple but not the OS I supposed to receive. Is it a bugg?? I have a mac book air. Thanks

    xI bought Mountain LIon but no dmg is downloaded. I can see the invoice from Apple but not the OS I supposed to receive. Is it a bugg?? I have a mac book air. Thanks

  • I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

    I updated my iPhone to the new IOS6 and my awesome Google map app was replaced with the sucky, horrible, awful Apple map app. I want my Google navigator map app back!!!!!!

    I agree. I liked the previous map app.  The version 6 app is powered by tomtom, I think.  No more street view. I don't care for the new overhead view when dropping a pin.  Plus, the current map app doesn't have the local points or data base that the google maps app had.  Too bad I can't go back to the old map app.

  • My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

    Time Capsule Airport
    Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
    Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

    This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
    In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
    Simply post the screenshots here.
    So here is mine.
    Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
    eg.
    Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
    This is wifi in your computer.
    The following are important..
    DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TC name. TCgen5
    Wireless name TCwifi
    Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Mount the TC manually in finder.
    AFP://TCgen5.local
    When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
    Reset Time Machine

    hi, I was about to reset my iphone3g when I accidentally selected erase all contents and setting. It was stucked with the iphone logo, so i tried to fix it by restoring all my datas in iTunes. I was able to successfully fix it but when I inserted my sim card it says that simcard not recognized. I tried all the solutions in the net but nothing seemed to work. What should I do? I'm located here in the Philippines. I hope you could help. Thanks! 

    I know. I was with my brother when we did this. He didnt clearly understood the question that poped-up. Regarding the simcard, after successfully restoring it on itunes my simcard won't work. I'm not able to send and receive calls and messages.

  • I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

    If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
    If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

  • HT4399 I have a Mac Book Air and have purchased individually numbers and pages.  I was given an excel file on a thumb drive and cannot open it.  Is there a way to open the xcl file in numbers?

    I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages.  I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file.  The message states that the Excel file is encryeted.  Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
    Pat and Bob

    Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats?  The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
    If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.
