Can I use windows software in macbook air?

i need to download a program thats only works in windows

Not directly no, .... you can use parallels or bootcamp to create a partition, and install Win7 or Win8 then load the program on same.

    How can I use windows software on my iMac? I know I can partition the hard drive but do I need to buy Windows OS?

    You can use Boot Camp, which comes with your Mac and install a copy of Windows on a new partition, or you can use a virtual application like Parallels.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If it's compatible, you have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, you will be able to turn on AirPlay on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep with OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly

    can i use pen drive on Macbook air

    You can if your cellular plan allows it. Not sure how much data you mean by "quite a bit" but be aware that doing this can use up a lot of data in a hurry depending on what it is you do. The following has information on how to share your cellular iPhone data: iOS: Understanding Personal Hotspot - Apple Support

  • How can i install windows on new macbook air using remote drive on the bootcamp partition

    Hi all, I just purchased a new macbook air mid - 2011 with OSX-Lion installed on it. I wish to install Windows XP on the boot camp partition but have not purchased the external super drive. Is there some way that I can install windows on boot camp using remote drive of my other macbook pro system.
    If this is possible, then please guide me.
    Thank you,

    Since I do NOT use anything from M$, I am afraid I am not right person to help you.
    I would suggest that you post your question for help over in the BootCamp forum loacted here

  • Can I use windows software on my mac?

    May seem like a silly question, but when I purchased my macbook, I was told that I could reserve a portion of the harddrive to run windows software. I need to run Quickbooks Pro that I have in windows form. How do I load it onto my macbook???

    Ok, several ways.
    Apparently, there's a wine-like solution for Mac, so you can run windows software from within Mac OS X. Expect it to be somewhat buggy and imperfect though, and it might not run some software. It's coming out soon as far as I know. I saw in on MacRumors a while ago.
    Then there's the Apple solution called Boot Camp. What it does is just allow you to dual boot. It means you will actually be running windows on the machine.
    And then a new user favorite, is using machine emulation, it emulates a second machine inside the current machine allowing you to run Windows inside Mac OS X. It's very memory-hungry, though, and somewhat slower usually. Look into Parallels and QEMU.

  • Can't install windows xp on macbook air

    Hi,
    I have posted already on the forum about 1 month ago or more and no one answered me, so trying again.
    How can I install windows xp on my macbook air?
    I have an original xp sp2 disk and a generic external dvd burner with usb.
    I have tried many times with bootcamp, but when I get the information (with disk utility info) of my xp 2 disk it says its not bootable.
    Do you think its my disk or my external dvd burner that can't boot?
    Should I get a super drive for it to work? Is there an other way for my mac to boot the disk at startup?
    Anyone please have any answer on how they installed windows xp.

    Yes.
    I have seen this page many many times already.
    I know it is not supported by apple. But it must be possible. I read about people with MBA's getting xp on them.
    My windows xp sp2 cd should at least be bootable? Its an original with the flashy 3D genuine design on it.
    I have installed Win 7 previously, but with a usb stick. I can't have a 20gb OS on my 64gb MBA drive.
    I hope you can understand better my problem.
    Thank you.

  • Can I use Skype with a macbook air and the face time camera

    I am an Imac user and learning this new macbook air. I have face time on this and am wondering if I can use skype with the facetime camera of if I need to add a remote web cam? I am not seeing the video function in skype.

    I've used mine a few times within Skype. No issues.
    The FT camera is suitable for any application requiring a camera, notwithstanding the "not so hot" resolution of the built-in camera on the MBA.
    Check the Audio/Video tab within Skype Preferences to select the built-in camera.
