How can I get software from a disc onto my macbook air which does not have a disc drive.?

I have  macbook air with no disc drive. However, I recently was given some cookbook software as a gift and it is in disc form. Wondering if there is an easy way to get this new software onto my mac. Was hoping I could upload the software to another PC and then burn it to a thumb drive and switch it over that way.Thoughts on if this is doable??
Thanks!

  • How do I connect  Apple 20" Cinema Display to orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

    I Wish to connect my 6 year old Apple 20" Cinema Display to an orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

    The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display.  The display will run without it.

    Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

    Yo Chris. I've been following your answers to different threads and quite frankly, you're very keen in answering everybody regarding this stupidity that Apple has brought upon its customers. Kudos to you. But the problem is, most of the time, in some devices, your solution doesn't work because the NONE option is not there. The same goes for me.
    Meanwhile, I found a temporary workaround for the iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    Register a free Apple ID from the iCloud Settings.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Account>Tap Payment Information on the Storage Plan Category.
    Fill in the other boxes and choose "None" on Credit Card Information.
    That's it! Hope I helped those who still couldn't find the "None" Option.
    Must be running IOS 5.0.1 though, else there would be no iCloud.

    I need to know if it's 64-bit or 32-bit.
    If it's 64-bit, try copying the mms.cfg file from C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\Macromed\Flash to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

  • How can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air?

    hi, how can i upload music from my ipod to my macbook air? thanks.

    Try this.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

  • How can i download keynotes from my iMac to my macbook air

    how can i download keynotes from my iMac to my macbook air

    Do you mean the application Keynote or projects you have already created in Keynote on the iMac?
    If it's the latter just copy the files across the network to the Air. If it's the application itself and you bought it from the Mac App Store you can legally install it on any computer registered to you (I think there is a limit, but I'm not sure how many it is). Just log on to the Mac App Store from the MacAir and download it again - you won't be charged a second time.
    Edit: Just realised you may mean keynotes of various Apple events - if so, ignore me . If this is what you want, have a look here: http://www.apple.com/apple-events/

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 5. How can I get a copy of Firefox 4. The new version does not work with Skype's auto dialer.

    How can I get a copy of the previous version of Firefox? The latest version (5) does not support Skype's auto dialer. I use this tool to be more productive.

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
    If Firefox disabled some add-ons (especially extensions), it likely is because they include a list of compatible Firefox versions and haven't yet been updated for Firefox 5. If they worked on Firefox 4, there is a good chance they will work on Firefox 5.
    You can force Firefox to ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox]
    After you install this add-on and restart Firefox, there will still be a message that "--- is incompatible with Firefox 5.0" but the add-on will be enabled and a Disable button will appear for that entry.
    Please report back on your results.

  • How can I record a cassette on CD?  New 27 inch iMac does not have mini plug/mic input

    I want to transfer music from a cassette to a CD using my new iMac but the iMac does not have a mini plug input for a mic.  I understand that I need to get an adaptor to use a USB port.  I bought a Syba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adaptor and tried to use it.  All the sound came in on the left channel, the sound level was very high and could not be adjujsted down, and was very distorted.  After about 5 minutes of trying to adjust, my iMac showed a dialog that said It was having a kernnel panic!  I discontinued trying and returned the Syba.  Can anyone recommend an adaptor that will work with the iMac and Toast Spin Doctor?
