I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

    If they are the grey discs which came with the iMac, then they will be machine specific and will not work on the MBP anyway. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for about $29 and upgrade from that. I presume your MBP is Intel and not G4.

    https://getsupport.apple.com/ServiceOptionAction.action

    Of course you can do that!
    You just have to enter your Apple ID on your grandson's iPad and then conect it to your computer.
    You'll see on your iTunes library that there's a little label on the top left corner of iTunes that indicates you all you have on your library. Well, if you click on that, you'll see there's an option to see Apps. You click on that (remember, you must have your grandson's iPad connected) and you'll be able to see all the apps you have downloaded with your Apple ID.
    Then you have to go to the top right of iTunes and you'll find a button that shows the iPad connected. Click on that and it'll show up your iPad summary. On top of that page, you'll see some options. One of them says "Apps". You click on that one and there should appear the apps you have downloaded. Choose the App you want to install and simply click "Install".
    After that you can eject your iPad and enjoy your new App!
    Hope it helped!!

  • HT4399 I purchased my Macbook Air second hand, didn't get a software reinstall drive. Where can I purchase one?

    How do I tell which version Macbook Air I own??? Can't tell the date manufactured anywhere..../?????

    The last MacBook Air to contain a physical reinstallation disk/drive was the 2010 model, which came with a USB flash drive. Subsequent models utilize the built-in Recovery Partition, along with Internet Recovery to enable the user to reinstall the original OS.
    If yours is a 2010 model, then you should go through Technical Support to order a replacement drive. It is treated much the same way as if you were ordering a replacement part for your unit.
    If you consult an application called MacTracker, you can compare your model as shown in "About this Mac" in the Apple menu, the database in Mactracker to obtain your model# and generation type.

  • Hello, I am selling my macbook silver 2.4gHz, and would like to re install and wipe the hard drive. however, i insert the snow leopard dvd( that came with my new 15" 2.3gHz), follow the support steps but after one screen, it says it cant instal - restart?

    ^______________________________^^^____________________________________^
    What can i do.., btw im a bit of a newby for this stuff!

    The grey installation DVDs supplied with Macs are specific to the computer they are supplied with. They cannot be used to install on any other Mac.
    Either erase and install the OS on the old MB from it's own grey DVDs, or go and buy the retail Snow Leopard installation DVD ($29 in the US, £26 UK).

  • Transfer ADOBE creative Suite from an old Mac to a new Mac, I have the code but I don't have a CD. What are the correct steps?

    Hi
    I bought a new Mac and I want to transfer my Adobe Creative Suit CS6 to it from my old one. What are the correct steps? Please note that I don't have a CD because I downloaded it via the net. It was an upgrade for the student edition. I heard something about deactivation and reactivation but I don't want to do something wrong then lose my precious software. Please help. Thanks.

    You can download the software and install it using the page linked below.
    CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there should be no reason to deactivate it on your other machine, or at least you can wait until you see it loaded and working on the new one.

  • How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

    I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off.  In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session.  Speaking only
    for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

    Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
    and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
    Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

  • Difficulty installing Rescue and Recovery 4.2 patch for Windows Vista

    Which between System Update Installation History and Post-Installation Status Report should I believe, when they tell a different story?
    When I run thinkVantage System Update, the post-intallation status report indicates that the following fails to install:
    * Rescue and Recovery 4.2 patch for Windows Vista
    * ThinkVantage Client Security Solution for Vista SP1
    * Lenovo Wireless WAN Activation Patch
    However, when I open the ThinkVantage System Update History Log, I read that the above updates have been installed.
    Which one should I believe?
    I'm willing to believe that the update has been installed, but whenever I run System Update, I keep getting the same message that the above three need to be installed.
    Should I keep ignoring the message? If not, what else could I try?
    I have a T60 running Vista with SP1 installed. 

    Hi privard,
    Thanks for your feedback. Anyhow, let me see how i could help to sort this out for you.

    On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
    When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
    and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
    and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
    I get this if using chrome or safari .
      I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

    The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video.  Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

    Keep in mind this is not a full install mechanism and is not a substitute for the $70 item I mentioned previously.  The network must still be accessable to perform a full re-install. 
    This method is a good backup for the recovery partition, though.

  • Re-install iLife11 from USB software reinstall drive

    I recently purchased a late 2010 MBA from an Apple reseller. The hard drive was wiped clean and a version of OSx 10.8.1 was installed. The software for iLife was not installed and I was hoping to use iCloud which I believe requires iPhoto. I purchased from the app store iPhoto which successfully installed. I now find out that I have an earlier version of iLife11 on a USB software reinstall drive that was in the box, that I was not aware of. Will I be able to install the rest of iLife without affecting the current install? As this is my first experience with Mac I was unaware that the reinstall was the latest version of OS, why they did not use the original software reinstall drive I do not know? Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Your USB drive which was included with the MacBook Air has already got iLife '11, so you didn't have to purchase iPhoto at the App Store. Apart from that, you can install the rest of iLife apps from your USB drive without any problem. Just make sure you make a custom install and you unmark iPhoto, so all iLife applications except iPhoto will be installed.
    After installing those applications, open  > Software Update to update them to the latest version
