Need help installing CS5 on my Macbook Air i5 with Lion OS?

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am trying to install CS5 on my new i5 macbook air which runs lion. When I connect my external hard drive to install the disc the disc does not even show up on the desktop. I know the drive is fine because I tested it with another disk and the icon show up fine for installation. Not sure what is going on but, guessing it is a conflict with lion. Please help?
thanks

I think you would have better luck with an external DVD player/recorder. Have you tried dragging the file from the external hard drive to your desktop and then installing?

  • HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

    My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

    I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

  • Installing CS5.5 on MacBook Air

    I purchased CS5.5 for my MacBook Pro a couple of years ago, and I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Air sometime soon. Is it possible to transfer CS5.5 from my old laptop to the new one (without a CD drive on the MacBook Air?)

    You can't use migration or copy files from computer to computer with Adobe applications.
    First, deactivate your copy of CS5.5 on your old computer (open an application and choose Help > Deactivate).
    Then download a clean copy of CS5.5 and install on your MacBook Air.

  • Hey Guys ! I need help on figuring out which MacBook Air to buy . Please Help Me !

    I Need Help Figuring Out Which MacBook Air To Buy.

    Avoid the MacBook Pro (non retina) unless you absolutely need to burn or read DVD/CD media on the road and don't want to carry around a small external optical drive. That leaves the MBA and the MBPr as your two choices. The Air's advantage is extreme portability and battery life - especially with the standard CPU. The MBPr's main advantage is its display. Both are perfectly good workhorse computers for school and work. Neither is especially good for gaming other than casual games. In fact many games don't support the Intel integrated video at all.
    Once you've decided on which model I strongly recommend that you have at least 8GB of RAM. How large a drive depends on how much you intend to stuff onto your computer. Using my MBA for home and work, which includes a minimal installation of Windows 7 for programming and verifying that websites look and behave acceptably on both platforms, I can fit everything I need on a 256GB drive but could never live on a 128GB drive. My wife, however, could have saved a little cash and gone with the 128GB model.

  • I need help installing Photoshop on my Macbook Pro.

    I am trying to install Photoshop on my Macbook pro running OSX 10.6.8 for my student photographer daughter. Every time I try to install either the 30 day trial or buy the monthly plan it tells me that the computer can't establish a secure connection and suggests that the url has changed. I checked it on my Mac at work, today but it looks fine. She needs Photoshop, not necessarily the fastest newest version for college, but needs to use it from this older Macpro. Any thoughts?

  • Need help installing boot camp onto macbook pro

    I'm attempting to get Boot Camp to run on my MacBook Pro as I need to run several programs on windows for school. I purchased a Windows 8.1 download from Microsoft's website. The download from their website is not an ISO image and is not recognized by the Boot Camp Assistant on the "Create Bootable USB Drive for Windows Installation" screen. I am not a tech savvy person and I would appreciate any help/advice, it seems that I have to somehow convert the download?
    Thank you!

    You get an ISO using this method - http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-download-the-official-microsoft-windows-8-1-is o/
    You will need the ISO to be able to build the USB that Bootcamp needs.

  • I need help installing iTunes on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7.

    When I attempt to install iTunes (downloading from the iTunes website) on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, I get the following error message, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

    Have you tried to install other programmes on the same PC? If they have worked, your installer should be in working order, so redownload iTunes and try again

  • Macbook air (2012) with Lion shuts down when waking up from sleep mode

    Looking for solutions to this problem, which occurs about 30-40% of the time after computer wakes up from sleep.  Doesn't seem to be related to the length of time that computer sleep or whether I put it to sleep manually or it does so automatically.  I've read in other forums that upgrading to Mountain Lion does not solve the problem.

    You might try resetting the SMC:

  • Installing Acrobat XI on Macbook Air

    I own a copy of Acrobat XI on DVD, and need to install it on a MacBook Air. Can I download a copy from the Adobe site and use that instead? I already have a serial number.

    It ought to work to download. Or you can copy the DVD on to a memory stick. External DVD a vital need e.g. if you buy software for download it is essential to back it up to CD/DVD in case the disk fails and it can't be downloaded again.

  • Does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion?

    does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion? if so, where can i find it? cause if i'm right, i remember saw a mountain lion logo on someones desktop. also, if i have it on my mac, why do I find it in the apple store saying that I need to purchase it for $19.99?

    All new MacBooks Air come with OS X Mountain Lion, as it's the only supported version in Mid 2013 MacBooks Air. Mid 2012 MacBooks Air come with Lion or Mountain Lion, depending on when they were manufactured.

    The Mid 2013 MacBook Air uses a special OS X Mountain Lion version which is different than the version available at the Mac App Store. That's the reason why you see the price at the Mac App Store, but you already have Mountain Lion. If you try to purchase Mountain Lion, the App Store will tell you that it's not compatible with your MacBook Air. To reinstall Mac OS X, you have to use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
