How can I get a CD Rom to open on my Mac?

I have a CD Rom on which is sign language lessons, but everytime I put it in my Mac it will open so that I can see the various files on the disc, but when I click install it opens a new window and it says "requires Microsoft Windows to install this product".  Are there any settings I can change which would allow me to view the said disc, or am I just gonna have to resort to my old laptop.  Ant ideas will be welcome, Many Thanks in advance, Sue xx

The software on the disc is written to run in, and only in, MS Windows. It can't run in the Mac OS. You can either install in on a Windows PC, or install Windows on your Mac and then install the software to run it in Windows.

    You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac.  This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

  • How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?

    Hi
    How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
    None of the normal mechanisms of setting an application to be the DEFAULT application for the .HTML file type seem to work...
    Extremely irritating.

    A list of various "recommended applications" but not including Dreamweaver. It's not in the list of Other Applications either. And if I browse for it, my selection of dreamweaver.exe is flatly ignored without message.

    I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

    You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

    How can I get to install Microsoft Office 2011 in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 if when down to "writing package scripts" it fails ?

    Contact Microsoft support and ask for help.  You've paid for the kit, so installation-time support is part of the expectations.  They'll probably suggest a Repair Permissions and a Verify Disk pass, both performed by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu item, and selecting those two repairs.

    Depends what OS X and Browser you are using?
    If you are on Snow Leopard (10.6) and Safari (5.1.7) then open Safari Preferences, select the General tab and make sure that:
    1. Safari opens with: A new window
    2 New windows open with: Homepage

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

  • How can I get my email messages to open in one click with Mail app?

    Hello,
    How do I get my email messages to open with just one tap? On my newer Macbook I just click once on the Mail app and my messages open automatically but on the Powerbook it takes two clicks. Can this be fixed to just one click? I've gone into preferences but can't seem to change it.

    Carolyn,
    Thanks, I was wanting to just click once on a message and have it open right away and then be able to quickly go through my messages. I found the solution from another helpful Mac user. You just move the separator bar that divides your messages from the view pane and move it up and it works like a charm.
