How to install software from disk onto imac

how to install software from disk onto imac

Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.

  • How do I install software from disk on Macbook Air?

    I have an external CD player but the Macbook Air doesn't seem to recognise it. So how do I get my software from disk onto my Macbook?

    I did not get the "This document is not recognised do you want to choose an application to open it with" error message.  It's just that it is not recognizing any content at all on the CD in Finder.  I have used this external CD drive before with this Macbook.  I also tried to open the docs through Word and it again showed that a CD was in "Devices" as a "Remote Disc" but does not recognize any of the docs on the CD.

  • Cant install software from disk. Terminal window opens with a logon and bash message?

    I cannot install software from disk & in some cases download.
    If any software disk is inserted the terminal window appears.
    The Disk has to be clicked to open the contents but install files or package files show as a blank doc and not the usual yellow package icon.
    All that shows is a log on message in the terminal window, but nothing about install.
    I thought Drive issues but the drive plays audio and DVD perfect
    I cannot install:-
    Office for mac updates
    Live Interior 3D (managed to install from download)
    ION Audio Converter
    This has only come to my attention in the last couple of weeks.
    The machine is a late 2011 with Lion installed

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

  • How to install software from a purchased cd

    How do I install software on mac mini from a purchased cd without buying an external drive. The other Imac on my network does not have cd sharing- running Tiger. Any other possibilities?

    Your options are:
    - ask the company that makes the software if they offer a download option;
    - find another Mac with an optical drive that either will support Remote Disk or that you can use to generate a disk image from the install disk (note that some disks carry copy protection and cannot generate a workable disk image);
    - buy or borrow an external optical drive.
    Regards.

  • How to install software from terminal?

    I was trying to install a software from the terminal. The software does not have a .dmg version. So I have to use "make install". I was denied because of the permission issue. I tried "su", but it did not work. Does anyone what I can do? Thank you very much!

    Thank you. I think this partly solved my problem.
    I was trying to install "xmgrace", a software for plotting with GUI interface. It is installed. But when I try to launch this software from xterm, the GUI does not appear. I guess things are different for os x and for a generic linux, and I did not configure the installation correctly.

  • Install software from bootcamp onto mac partition

    Hello!.
    I was wondering if there is a way to install a program being on Windows (8) (bootcamp partition) onto OS Mavericks partition. I got to this situation since my space in Windows is low and ive got plenty of space in MAverickz. I actually tried (being on Windows installing a program)  but when specifying the folder for the software install I select MAverickz partition and it said it could not be created in there. I guess there might be a way to allow permision for this.
    (The software I tried to install was MATLAB)
    Can you guys help me out please !
    Gracias!

    Hello @usteve,
    I understand that your desktop computer is producing an error message when you are attempting to install software using the DVD/CD drive, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To enable your system to install software from your DVD/CD drive, I recommend following the steps in this document on this application failed to start because side-by-side-configuration is incorrect.

  • How do I install software from cd-rom onto my IdeaPad S10?

    I just received my IdeaPad S10.  How do I install software from a cd-rom onto it?  I tried putting my cd-rom in my regular laptop and copying it onto a flash drive and then copying it to the IdeaPad.  The installation starts, then I get a message that installation has stopped because the installation has been corrupted.  Any easy ways to install software?

    Here's what you can do.
    Download virtual Clone drive (freeware) from here http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html  install it on your S10.
    Now on your destop, make a backup ISO of your software CD or DVD. 
    I use this http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm it integrates with explorer on the right click menu. There are other solutions also.
    Once your ISO is created you can copy it to your S10 via network, usb key, etc, and mount it as a drive letter with Virtual CLone drive.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1349 How do I go about installing software from a disc onto my ipad2? I have no external drive, but do have a PC with iTunes on it. Someone suggested I could load it into iTunes and then sync with the iPad, but this suggestion doesn't seem to work.

    How do I go about installing software from a disc (a language programme) onto my ipad2? Someone told me if I downloaded it to iTunes on my PC I could then sync it to the iPad but hav not been able to do that.

    Even if there was a convenient way, the software will not run on the pad.  Ios is a unique language, and only programs written for ios will run on the pad.   All of the programs are in the app store.  You might look there and see if the company that makes your sfotware also has an ios version, which would be in the store.
