How do i install internet explorer 11 to my macbook air

How do i install internet explorer 11 to my macbook air

Internet Explorer is for Windows only and could be considered to be malware
Therefore the only options to do this are -
Install Windows in to a virtual machine using either VMware Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox, and then you can run Internet Explorer as normal
Or, install Internet Explorer via CodeWeavers "CrossOver Mac" - see http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=12714 however while older versions of Internet Explorer are working newer versions look like they don't work with this method.

How do I install Windows 7 on my new MacBook Air?

Hey everyone, I just purchased a MacBook Air (4GB ram & 256 SSD) with Lion OS... I have been a PC user for forever & a day... I am going to be installing Windows 7 on it because Wellview is not a mac friendly program aswell as other programs. I am trying to learn the difference between Parallels, Boot Camp, etc... I understand a partition & how it works on a PC & have been reading forums in Mac rumours to try & figure it out on this system... But, what would be the easiest way to install W7? I will have to download Windows 7 OS & it sounds like Parallel but it looks like this MBA has Boot Camp already installed on it. Also, would it be better to have the thunderbolt connected to a hard drive & keep everything off of the the MBA HD? Is there a way to upgrade the RAM in the MBA? I know, that's a lot of questions... But, I would rather ask them here & figure it out rather than asking someone on the phone... Yes, I am male... LOL... One other question I have is how will the touch pad work in windows, how do you hit the typically right mouse button when this laptop doesn't even have one? I know you use the different fingers for different actions as I have been experimenting with... Just wondering on that one... I'm sure it works somehow... LOL...

OMG Morgan, you are an inquisitor .
But I will try and answer all your questions:
1+2: it depends on your demands: if you use both OS's often, and have a "normal" HDD you want to avoid restarting all the time and use a Virtualizer. With a MBA restarting is superquick. If you use Mac apps at the same time with Windows you better use the Virtualizer. But if you are having "bootcam windows" and decide to install a virtualizer later, this Virtualizer can make the VM of the bootcamp partition...
3: you can not install Windows without a disk.
4. The X stands for 10: Snow Leopard is 10.6... Leopard is 10.5... Lion is 10.7... They are all OSX. Befrore that there was OS9.
5. The Bootcamp install is very good guided: Bootcamp makes the partition on your SSD and after that it will ask for the W7 install disk (in case of a CD you need the Apple superdrive). This partition will be about 60GB for W7.
6. If you use Parallels, there is Kaspersky antivirus included (half a year), it will only install when you say yes on the install question (say no for W7) but as I said before: only use an antivirus in W7 and NOT in OSX, if you do not pay very good attention Parallels will install it also in OSX. Better use Avast, AVG, they are free, simple, fast, and good. NEVER use norton. But you can use the one you know form your PC life....
7. delete button: same as backspace, if you hold the "Fn" key at the same time it deletes forward.
8. When a new OS comes available (this not the same as update), make sure before you install it, that all your apps have compatibilty: you can read a lot of posts here of people who did not check before upgrading to Lion!
(same goes for Windows 8, when it comes).
No I don't know where W7 is the cheapest.
9. 32-bit or 64 bit: both are good, it does not make much difference either will run a 32 bit app. I use XP which is 32 bit on a 64-bit Mac OSX, and 64-bit W7. Thus: it depends what you want to run. My old Bankapps are all 32-bit and will not run on W7.
I hope I informed you enough to make your decisions now.
have fun.

I recently bought a canon dslr, but I can't install the editing software that came along with it because I do not have a cd drive (macbook air). Can it be installed through Remote Disk?

From the document referened:

DVD movies.
Audio CDs.
Copy protected discs such as game discs.
Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.

How do you install photoshop elements 8 on a macbook air?

I bought a bamboo capture that come with bundle softare including photoshop elements 8. Is there any way I can donload the driver for the program online?

That version of Elements may not install on your version of OS X. Not sure what you mean by Driver. Do you mean the Program? Can you download the Program? you may be able to but then again I'm not sure whether PS Elements 8 will work with OS X Mt Lion 10.8.2.
As to a CD/DVD drive you can buy any brand, Make and Model, External CD/DVD drive that connects through a USB port. It does not have to sold by or have the Apple name on it for it to work with your Mac. There are many models that sell for about $30 that will work without problem on your Mac. In fact they are usually better then what Apple sells for that inflated $79 price because they are Tray Load instead of Slot Load.

how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences. what else do I need to do?

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

How do I install 10.9.1 directly using an Air with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

How do I install 10.9.1 directly using an Air with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard? My friend shared a copy of the 10.9.1. installer but i can't seem to make it work. Help please!

Your friend's installer is tied to his computer, and will require his Apple login id to insall, as well as any future updates. Since you have Snow Leopard, 10.6.8, use the App Store app and create your own Apple login to download Mavericks from the App Store. It is free.
Have a nice day.

If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

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.
