Get office:mac on a macbook air

since the macbook air doesn't have a dvd drive, is there an alternative way to install office:mac on the computer?

Via a network connection with a computer that has an optical drive. Be cloning the DVD to a USB flash drive. And by DVD or CD sharing- Using Remote Disc.

Where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while. If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

Will I be able to completely remotely control and access my Office Mac from my Macbook Air at home?

I am in a bit of a dilemma and need some help from the community. I have a Mac Mini running 16GB Ram 2.3 I7 and 1 TB Fusion Drive at my office, it is in Parrallels Coherence mode 100% of the time. I have to run certain Windows apps from home. I am setting my routers at the office to accept NAT-PMP, or Plug and Play so that I can access them.
I have two questions:
1. Will I be able to use back to my mac, or screen share to completely operate and share my mac mini with a new mac book air?
2. I am buying a new MacBook Air, I am under the assumption that I can get the 13" 4gb, I5, with 256 GB and I should be able to quickly access and handle all basic remote access, iphoto stuff and some i movie stuff occassionally.
Am I correct in these assumptions? Any recommendations?
I do have IPAD apps that can also access two of the three windows apps that are critical to my company, but really need a traditional computer with mouse to run them effectively remotely.
Thanks in advance for your help,
John

Yes to both, as long as the Mini is running Mountain Lion or later OS you can use Back to My Mac and Screen Sharing. It will be as though you are seated at the remote Mac. Connections and speed will be determined by Internet conditions.
OS X Mountain Lion: Share your screen using Back to My Mac
It's pretty seamless. Copying files for example is a simple matter of dragging them to or from the Screen Sharing window. If you have multiple users on the Mini you can log in remotely as any user for which you have access, or share the screen interactively with a user's consent.
The only uncertainties are your router, but according to Apple all that should be required is to enable NAT-PMP or UPnP.
I use Apple routers, to eliminate any uncertainty.

I'm having problems downloading Office Mac on my Macbook Air

I've got my office mac program on my USB.

From there i double click the installer and installation goes on

I have tried full shut down, closing all programs, restarting; and have gone through the forums but have found no solution, I am lost.

How do I install Office:mac on my MacBook Air?

I have a familly pack license and installed one license on our iMac.

SP beat me to it...downloading the application is the easiest path to take...just be sure that you download the correct version (2008 Vs 2011) to match your key.
In the future you have a few of choices when it comes to using discs with your MacBook Air. If you think you'll need to use discs often you can purchase an external drive from Apple:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A
Note that the Apple USB Superdrive is proprietary and the only one that will work with the MacBook Air. In other words, you can't just buy any external CD/DVD drive.
The other, less expensive option is to "share" your iMac's Superdrive with your MacBook Air. Here are the instructions for doing that:

Note that drive sharing generally won't work for installation discs though.

Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software.

I have the Numbers-applications on both Mac mini and Macbook Air. My problem is that they don't sync so when I create a Numbers-file on the MacBook while travelling, it will not be on my Mac mini when I get home :(((

Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

How can I move select photos from my mac to my macbook air?

I would like to know the best, quickest, easiest way to move photos from my Mac to my macbook air? I have tried Migration Assistant--was going to take 4 hours and I don't want to share all files, just photos. I also went into System Pref. on each computer, clicked "Sharing" and attempted to allow access to both computers by setting up a Public folder but only some of the photos transferred. I also get a message on my mb air telling me I don't have access to the pictures on the other Mac, even though I have granted access to "Everyone" in my network. Also, I've updated both computers and rebooted them, to no avail.
We have a wireless network, if that makes a difference?
Thanks!--have a client meeting in 25 minutes and need some photos--HELP!!

1st solution
One great features is AirDrop if you connect both Mac on the same WiFi.
Go to finder, on the top of the left list you get : All my files, AirDrop, ...
Click on AirDrop on both computer, you will see on both computer each other. Then just drag and drop files from one computer to the other.
2nd solution
Use an USB drive ... ok physical support are so boring ...
3rd solution
Share folders between your computer but with right rights on it ... can take a long time to explain ... ask if you wan't this solution
4th solution : iPhoto
if you store your pictures in iPhoto you can share your library between several iPhoto.
Launch iPhoto on both Mac and on the source's one activate sharing library
5th solution : iCloud
If you have iCloud configured on both Mac and you store your photo in iPhoto both will get the last 1000th photos
6th solution : dropbox
Store your photo in dropbox and they will synchronize on both Mac
7 ....
Ask if you want some more

How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

Hi,
The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
Select the iMessages account if it is not selected.
Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line" select this.
This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

I understand that you want to remove the printer software. I would like to assist.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.

How do I can I install MS Office 2008 on a MacBook Air w/ a valid product key? Can I download files somewhere?

How do I can I install MS Office 2008 on a MacBook Air w/ a valid product key? Can I download files somewhere?
Here's the scenario....
I've got a brand new gift MacBook Air 11" and I want to install Microsoft Office 2008 since I have a valid key license that's given by my nephew. Do I have any other options here? Can I download all the necessary files from somewhere officially and just enter the Product Key to install what I need? Are there other possible options?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

You can use a remote disc to download Office as shown here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
But please note several cautions:
1. The product key is intended for one machine only. You would have to be the sole user.
2. Office 2008 is now very close to being obsolete. Office 2011 has been out for years, and Office 365 is available for your Mac as well.
