Am following your doc now (https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3082) and wondering if the edit
First, fix the MySQL client library. (credit)
For Lion, type:
sudo install_name_tool -id /usr/local/mysql-5.5.22-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql-5.5.22-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib

How to install iWork on MacBook Air

Hi,
It would be appreciated if anybody can help me to install iWork to MacBook Air.
I have another laptop with Windows 7 and problem finding DVD or CD Sharing on control panel.
I believe iWork would provide the office tools like Word, Excel and PowerPoint in MS Office tools.

I assume you have installed "DVD or CD Sharing" from the OS X install disc (or USB stick if you have the latest MBA)?
Try installing it again perhaps.

Installing Windows 7 Macbook Air

Hey all,
I've been working on this for days, and I've been trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) onto my MacBook Air I bought last year. I'm having a problem with Bootcamp assistant though; whenever I tell it to create a windows 7 install disc, it says that I need a USB drive connected to the machine. I did this, reformatting a USB key as a windows partition, however when it was done, Bootcamp assistant just closed and left me in the dark as to what to do next. I have blank, rewritable DVD's, a windows 7 ISO image, pretty much everything I need, I just want to install it "normally", and without a USB drive. Any clues as to how to proceed?
P.S.: I did this on my MacBook pro last week, and it works fine. I didn't need to use a USB drive, I just burned the ISO image to a disc first with Disk Utility, then followed the manual and onscreen instructions.

There are a few others like this with pictures but can't remember where. Look for @jacktourist's post, it should be page 2.
In order to get around the Authentication/permissions I just right(option) clicked the plist file, select Copy "Info.Plist", clicked on desktop, right click Paste Item then opened the file (in TextEdit) and added my info to the top of the list, saved, then dragged the info.plist from the desktop backed to the Contents file, authenticated, then Replace, and all was ducky.
I has to be opened or saved as PlainText in order for it to work if using TextEdit if you get the "Can't save as rtf" error.
Should look similar to this. Some people have to add theirs to the bottom OR the top of the list in order for it to work.

How to install windows mac book air

Hi,
I'm trying to install windows onto my mac book air and bootcamp says I need an external optical drive. What is this and how do I get it?
Thanks,

Hello Niel,
Is there no way I can do this without buying yet another thing?? I need to get some software (MaxQDA) which was supposed to be coming out on Mac but seems to have been delayed until later in the year. This means I now need to purchase windows, purchase the software (rather than getting it free from the university) and by the sound of it I now need to buy a drive just to download it...It's very frustrating.
Thanks for your help anyway.

How to install Mavericks on Macbook Air

Hi,
I bought a second hand Macbook Air:
Processor 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5,
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Now I have problems installing OS X Mavericks on the computer. It just doesn't download.
What is the problem?

You apparently have filled your boot disk to a point where the remaining space is below Mavericks installation requirements. It is implying that you need to review your login directory for very large files, or folders.
Open a new Finder window. In the left nav, select your short login name. Then change the View to list view. If the Size column arrow is pointing up, click it to down and your folders and files will be listed in descending storage use. The folders with an engraved emblem on them were created by the operating system, so do not remove them. Also, resist removing Apple applications found in /Applications.
Top candidates would be huge iTunes Music or applications content, iPhoto, or video collections. Whatever is taking up your storage will stand out. Generally, you should stay out of your Library folder.

Installing windows on Macbook Air without using Superdrive

I'm ready to switch from PC to MBA but there is a problem. I thought that I would be able to install windows to MBA through the remote disc feature. But I read in the apple's support page that I'll need to have the superdrive to install windows on MBA.
Is there a way to install windows without the need of a superdrive?
And if not, is there a possibility that the remote disc feature will allow the install of windows in MBA in the near future?
Thank you for reading my question!

Wondering if anyone can advise me on where I'm going wrong..
I've tried to install Windows XP Professional with service pack 2 (original disk) on my Macbook Air, with SuperDrive, but keep on getting this message after the first part of the installation is complete: "Disk error, Press any key to restart" (pressed any key but wouldn't do anything).
Here is what I have tried:
1. Opened Boot Camp and split the partition in half (even tried 32GB)
2. After this process is complete, Boot Camp asks to insert the Windows CD, did this and pressed OK.
3. The system rebooted in Windows Installer
4. Asks where I want to install Windows, I selected C:/ (BOOT CAMP) FAT32
5. Copies all of the Windows setup files
6. Then tells you the system will restart after 20 or so seconds, and if you want to restart press ENTER
7. The system restarts, but in Mac OSX. I've then tried the whole process again, and when it restarts I hold down the Option key.
8. A boot menu appears giving 3 options: 1. Mac OS, 2. Windows, 3. Windows CD
9. I select Windows CD (also have tried Windows)
10. Blank screen appears and says: Press any key to boot from CD....
11. I dont press anything then the message appears: "Disk error, Press any key to restart"
Can anyone help me to solve this please?
Thanks in advance.

Install windows on MacBook Air SSD?

Hello,
I'm interested in buying a 1.6 GHz (or 1.8 GHz) MacBook Air with a 64GB solid-state drive.
Is it possible to run Windows on such a machine using either Parallels or VMware Fusion?
I won't need to use iLife on this MacBook Air.
Thanks!
Mike

Yes, there is enough space on the drive. VMWare Fusion itself needs 140 MB of space. The VM with XP will need about 15 GB once you get all your software on there (Office, etc). There won't be masses of space left, but it will go. I would advice using Monolingual http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ to remove all unnecessary language packages from OS X. That alone will save you as much space as your XP install without additional software.
Windows runs very well indeed under WMWare Fusion on my MBA for all regular tasks (office apps, email, surfing, IM). What it obviously would not do so well would be graphic-intensive games or CPU-intensive tasks like video editing.
I would recommend Windows 2000 or XP as the guest OS. Definitely not Vista.

Serious

How to install Java for MacBook Air?

I have tried to install Java on my new macbook air and the installation is successfull, however when I try to access an internet site that requires Java to open it doe snot work. Any suggestions?

The new Macbook Air that I am typing this on has Java already installed. You should not have had to install it. Typing "java -version" at the command line in a terminal shows that it is version 1.6.0_26
What browser were you using to access the web site? Safari?
Have you checked that you have Java and Javascript enabled in your browser? (Go to the Security tab in Safari->Preferences)
