I have a plug in DVD writer to add my disk Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook air, however, it says that I can't install as Apple do not support Microsoft programs, any help?

My disk will not install adobe onto my air as they say apple do not support microdot?

It may be worth saying, though you have probably figured it out now, that Mac don't run Windows apps and Windows doesn't run Mac apps. So if you go between them there is every chance that you will have to buy all of your apps again - if they are available on the new computer. This is a big deal and the cost of this should be budgeted in.

  • Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.

    Help require with installing Adobe Acrobat onto my Macbook Pro Retina.
    I have successfully installed all of my creative cloud apps with the exception being acrobat.
    I cannot print from Indesign to PDF.
    I have unistalled, reinstalled and still no Adobe Acrobat.
    I now have to go back to Windows 8 and create the PDF's there.
    Any one know how to get around this issue?
    Thanks in advance
    Kelvin

    OSX has effectively killed the ability to print to pdf, (print to pdf eliminates most of the "Rich features" of current pdf).
    Export from InDesign, always, excpet for the 1% of the time where you know why print to pdf would produce a better result.

  • I can't install 11.1 on my vista computer. Any help will be appreciated

    I plug my phone in and it says I need 11.1 or newer. I go and download the update and everything is fine and it finishes the update no problem but when I open iTunes and plug my phone back in it says I still need 11.1 or newer. Basically the update seemingly disappears and I have tried uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling it and I still have the same problem with 11.1 and I'm not sure why. Any sugggestions or advice or anything would be much appreciated.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app from the app store and it says that I can open it while I'm in the App Store however, it won't open and the app icon is not anywhere on my actual screen. What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app for my iPhone and in the app store it's as I can open it however when I hit open, it does not open in fact, nothing happens. Also there is no icon for Hulu Plus on my home screen so I'm confused as to what exactly to do I'm going to settings and there's only one thing that you can do which is reset. I tried that. nothing.

    Have you restarted your phone?
    If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
    Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

  • When trying to download & install Firefox 5.0.1 into a Mac, I get a message saying that Firefox cannot be installed because libnsscksi.dylib is in use. Any idea how to locate and close that file? Finder does not recognize it. Thanks!

    Tried to install both Firefox 5.0 and 5.0.1, and received the same error message that a file ending in .dylib was in use. I cannot locate that file, and Finder does not recognize it.

    I have a Power PC Mac with OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.28, the latest versions supported on my machine, and all of my plug-ins are the latest versions available for that browser version. I too get the warning message all the time and it is very annoying. I have never had any "security" problems, and I don't go along with this imperative to always be upgrading equipment. Don't these corporate geeks understand that we're in a global economic contraction and a lot of us are unemployed/underemployed? They want us to be good consumers and "switch to a newer computer" but I can't afford that. Like, if I can't fix my old car, I won't be able to drive. What I want to know is: '''how to disable the warning message?''' Thank you in advance.

  • My calendar is blocked. The server has a problem. I am trying everything, but since days I have no access to my agenda anymore. I am about to throw my MacBook Air out of the window :-( How can I solve this problem? My calendar does not react to anything!!

    My calendar is blocked since a few days, while I tried to upload a message in an event. In this weekend, i have not been able to get ANYbody at all online, to help me. I am desperate and feel absolutely idiot. Is anybody out there who can help me?.
    In the website it said:
    1. Open iCal - select "preferences" (I cannot select anything!)
    2. Select "accounts" (I have no clue what to do there)
    3. Re-enter " username and password (Where?)
    4. Exit iCal and start again (I did this, but don't get anywhere near a solution).
    5. Done (cry, cry, nothing changed for days now and I am about to throw everything out of my window :-))
    Thanks for some very useful and easy tips!

    Thanks mate ...
    yes I have an upgraded Iphoto 11 from 9.4.3 ........ unfortunately .... no it didn't solve the problem.  Of course my illiteracy is no help ..... but I did as you suggested and nothing changed at all.  When I highlight a photo I am unable to minimize it and despite changing folders (ie:photos to events) all that happens is that the events folder opens behind the opened photo.  The only solution is to go to "force quit" even though there is no sign to say "iphoto is not responding". and start again ..... very frustrating.  Appreciate any suggestion you have ...

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, redeemed the access code, put the CD in the drive and it does not see a program? Any recommendations?

    Any suggestions?

    The CD provided was blank, no data, The package did not indicate this. Disappointing! I downloaded the software. For a price of $497 I expected a valid CD.

  • Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer (photosmart D5160) will not print to CD/DVD when I try it says my printer doesn't support CD printing. any help will be welcome

    Since upgrading to lion and updating HP software my printer ( HP photosmart D5160 driver 3.3.0) will not print to CD/DVD,when I try it says "your printer does not support CD printing". any help will be welcome.

    I see those are old posts above but I'm just now having the same problems. I have the original software CD that came with my Photosmart D5160 printer but I can't load it. I get the message "You can't open the application "HP Installer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". So I don't have that going for me, which is not nice! But I couldn't really care less about that if I can just find a CD labeler software that will print from my Mac to the D5160. I'd rather by new CD labeler software than a new printer. I've tried a few free CD labeler software downloads, including iWinSoft Label Maker, but nothing has worked so far. I think there's an answer somewhere; I'm able to print documents on regular paper using this printer, but I only bought it (many years ago) to print CD labels and some pictures. It's been used only sparingly and it's been in storage since I bought my Mac 3 years ago, mainly because a I got a free printer with my purchase. Any help is vertainly appreciated!!!
