How do I install iWork disk on MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and would like to install iWork on it. I do not have the device needed to use disks on this laptop as it doesn't have an optical drive. Is there any way I could download some sort of software and use a key to identify my disk? Or something along those lines because I'm sure apple would have thought that this problem would occur.
Thanks

That's why Apple no longer sells disks. All its software is now available on the App Store. So you can either purchase/download the iWork components from there, or, if you have access to another Mac with an optical drive, share the DVD from that across the network (System Preferences - Sharing - turn CD/DVD sharing on) and install that way.

  • How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?

    Hi - How to install Windows 8 on Macbook pro with retina display ?
    I am pretty new to the apple world. Tried doing it through bootcamp but did not success.
    I am not interested to install it through Parallels or Fusion. Plz guide.
    Thanks !

    OK, use Windows 8 in Bootcamp. Be aware that there are no Bootcamp drivers for Windows 8 yet. So you may experiance not only delays but display problems, freezing, crashes and other problems.
    Here is the Bootcamp forum. Make sure you read all the posts from people experiencing Windows 8 problems with Bootcamp. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it.  Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple.  While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows).  You will also not be able to install firmware updates.  Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific.  You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update.  You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it.  At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive. 

  • How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    Hello there,
    I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
    Thanks!

    One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

  • How to play a dvd on a macbook pro with retina display

    I recently bought a Macbook pro with retina display and was suprised to see that there is no slot to put a dvd or cd into. For the amount paid i feel this is ridiculous. However wish to seek a solution, does anyone know of how to solve this problem? Thankyou

    Purchase an external DVD drive and attach it to your rMBP.  Or you can purchase the Apple model specifically made for it:

    Windows 7

    Windows 7
    Windows 8 is only beta, but can be run in VirtualBox
    Only Windows 7 is supported by Apple in Bootcamp at this time, however you can install Windows 8 Beta into virtual machine software.

  • How do you fix colored lines on Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

         I have had my Macbook Pro 13" Retina display for over a year now, I recently opened it up and there were several green and blue lines running down the screen.  When I apply pressure to the bottom of the screen, where the black border is, some of the lines disappear.  It is progressively getting worse.  I don't believe it suffered any trauma.  It is a problem with the screen, not the GPU or anything else.  I was hoping there is a way to fix it without have to spend over $300 to get the screen replaced.  It is not under warranty.  Any advice?

    That's why Apple no longer sells disks. All its software is now available on the App Store.

  • How often should I charge my new macbook pro with retina display?

    hi everybody! I just got my macbook today and I want to take good care of it so it lasts me a while, and I'm particularly concerned about the battery life. what ensures that I can maintain a battery that will drain the slowest? or in other words, what are healthy charging habits? I'm a student so I'll be using it more than  a few hours daily. should I turn off my macbook or set it to sleep when I'm going to sleep for the night (~6 hours). is there ever a time when sleep is preferable to shut down? when I'm using it for an extended period of time, is it better to run it down and charge it or to leave it charging at 100%? how often should I run down the battery, or if not, what level should I run it down to before charging it again? I read somewhere that it's best to charge it to 80% instead of 100%, is there any truth to this? any input is appreciated, thanks.

  • How forget a wifi network on a MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I entered the wrong password for a wifi network at my uncle's house and I can't figure out how to re-enter the password. Or how to forget the network so I am printed to re-enter the password.

    The MacBook keeps a list of all wireless networks you connected. Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced, and remove this wireless network from "Preferred networks". Then, try to connect again to this network. Anyway, your computer should ask you for the password if it wasn't typed properly

  • How can I see who made my Macbook Pro with Retina Display screen?

    Hello,
    I've read that the LG display burns into the screen. I've done the thing in Terminal "ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6" and all it says is Color LCD. Am I doing something wrong? Or does it not say?
    Thanks

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

  • How to Install Windows 8.1 on MacBook Pro with Retina Display Using Boot Camp?

    Hello,
    I own a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and was wondering how do I install Windows 8.1 without an optical disc drive? I have bought the full version of Windows 8.1 and would like to partition it on my MacBook Pro. Could someone please help me out by posting step-by-step procedure or a video on how to do it? It is my first time partitioning the Windows operating system and would like to clarify with the community on this before I install it.
    Thanks in advance for those who have helped!

    Windows 8.1 is not yet supported by Boot Camp. The best way currently to install Windows 8.1 is to use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Installation instructions are on the Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox site.
