New to Mac's how do i install ??

Hi, i'm new to mac's coming over from a windows PC.
I don't know how to install Dreamweaver MX on my macbook.
It won't let me run the Autorun.exe or Install Dreamweaver MX.exe
I keep getting told that i need to chose a program to run them. I took a look at the 'Installer' in my applications folder but no avail. Please help me how do i run them?
Thanks!

Thank you for helping me.
I know what you mean the disc 'looks' like it's only
gonna install on windows but why does the manual say
"on the macintosh, double-click the Dreamweaver MX
Installer icon"
So it looks like i need a mac copy then.
I gather that .exe is not supported in OS X ...
Thanks!
.exe are only supported on the OS X if you either use BootCamp (which makes your Mac into a full blown windows machine), Parallel (emulation of windows), or Crossover (Wine package that using X-Windows to run some windows .exe - no window's install required).
Each of these have varying degrees of success... from Boot Camp being 100% compatible, to Parallel that would be around 90% compatible to Crossover which is about 50% compatible.
Cheers

  • New to Mac. How do I install a printer?

    I am trying to install a new printer. I have a Aficio MP C2800 from Ricoh. Went on their web page and downlaoded printer software but the printer did not show up as installed on MacBook. How do I install a new printer on MacBook Pro?

    Download the mac driver for your printer, from your printer manufacturer.
    Open the downloaded file in finder click on it and open it. If using wireless then set up the wirless network on your printer

  • I have CS4 on a PC. I have bought a new MAC. How do I install my CS4 on the MAC- it seems this is a windows license.

    I have CS4 on a PC. I have bought a new MAC. How do I install my CS4 on the MAC- it seems this is a windows license.

    The license is only good for Windows and is too old to qualify for a platform swap.  The only option you might have is to install Windows emulation software on the Mac and install CS4 thru that.

  • I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

    I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

    If all else fails, try this.  i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
    if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
    insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
    However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.

  • I am new to mac air. Today i installed (unsuccessfully!) MAPLE16 on my mac book air. Now since it does not work properly (it also does not appear in  applications) i decide to delete it. I could not remove it from launchpad . i need urgent help

    i am new to mac air. Today i installed (unsuccessfully!) MAPLE16 on my mac book air. Now since it does not work properly (it also does not appear in  applications) i decide to delete it. I could not remove it from launchpad . i need urgent help from your side.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    You may be advised by others to try to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name, or by running "utilities" that purport to remove software. I don't give such advice. Those tactics often will not work and maymake the problem worse.

  • I am new to Mac.  How do you make an app available to all users so you only have to go through set up once?

    I am new to Mac.  How do you share an app with all users so you only have to install once?

    You only have to install applications once, after which are available to all users on your Mac.  But each user account will have its own individual preferences to set and may have some initialization to do the first time the application runs in each account.
    Also, most applications that require entry of a license code accept the code once and apply it to all user accounts on your Mac.  But there are some exceptions, some applications, that don't seem to do this (or don't do it well)  and you may have to enter your license code in each user account the first time you run those applications in each account.  For example, iTunes will ask you to accept the license the first time you run it in each user account.

    I am new to MAC. I need to install iWork 9 on my MacPro instead of 6. It shows legal message! Should I purchase iWork 9?

    Yes, I think you have to purchase it.
    Once, I downloaded 'Keynote' from a torrent site. İt had a malicious code. My computer stopped working then. When I uninstalled it and deleted all the files related to it, my computer started woring again.
    so, I suggest to buy original thing...

  • Hi, I have a late 2008 iMac with a new hard drive. How do I install Mountain Lion from my bootable USB flash drive.

    How do I install Mountain Lion to a new hard drive without having the recovery partition on it.
    I have the USB flash drive with software on it but when I switch my Mac on all I have is a white screen & a flashing question mark.
    ATB,
    Steve.

    Did you use LionDiskMaker or DiskMaker X?
    Boot the machine with the option key down until you see your bootable USB stick.  Select the latter, and reboot.
    When the installer boots up, you will first need to choose Utilities and Disk Utility. Select the target HD device name and then the partition tab. Select 1 partition, name it Macintosh HD. Format is Mac OS Extended, and option is GUID. Apply. Exit Disk Utility and return to the installer, which will now show your newly partitioned HD as available for install.
    When OS X is installed and all updates applied, press shift+command+U and run disk utility again. Verify/repair permissions and verify the boot disk.

  • My hard drive is fried.  I need to reinstall moutain lion to a new SSD drive.  How do I install without media?

    My hard drive fried.  I can't reinstall from the OSX utilities because it only shows the recovery partition.  I was thinking about adding an SSD drive.  But I dont know how to install OSX mountain lion without any media.  What are my choices?  What should I do?

    First, the recovery option is built in to OS X - not the disk. If you install the new drive without formatting it first or without having an OS on it, it will not work (at least as far as I know). Most drives need to be formatted and it needs to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use the GUID Partition Scheme.
    You said that your hard drive is fried but that you can access the recovery? The Command + Option + R is the internet recovery which means it accesses Apple's servers and a limited number of things including disk utility. I've not dealt with this type of problems, so I'm not sure, but If you can access that and you have your new drive in an external enclosure and attached, then you may be able to use Disk Utility on the recovery to format your new drive and then choose to install the OS directly on it.
    The second possibility - and, according to the following article, this should work directly (I've not tried it, so I can't guarantee it will):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    The easiest way would be to attach the new drive in an enclosure and use your internal's disk utility to format and then clone the entire thing to it, but that does not appear to be an option. Unless...... do you have a bootable clone backup or a Time Machine backup?
