I work family pack - macbook air

Hello,
Im trying to install the iwork (bought the family pack) in my macbook air and it asks me for the serial number, which I cannot find. The trial version has already expired, and I had to use my other mac as a remote drive for the dvd. any of those things can be the problem?
it doesnt work without this serial number, and keeps me asking for it...
anyone??
thanks in advance!

First, you have posted in the iWork for iOS forum (iWork for iPad & iPhone). The confusion is probably understandable since there is no general iWork for Mac forum, just for each component.
Your question is a common one. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    Hi Rachel,
    Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

  • External dvd drive won't work on USB macBook air

    External dvd drive won't work on my macBook air usb port.  It works on older versions of air and iMac.
    Any ideas.  Tried the left shift, control, option and power button sumultaniously, but did not work.

    I know that no one has replied yet, but figured out the issue.  I called Applecare and they couldn't figure it out, so sent me to a genuis at the Apple store.  They too couldn't figure it out and told me that it was a firmware issue with the Toshiba dvd external drive.  When I got home, I thought I would try one more thing.  I hooked it up to a powered hub and it works perfectly.  I'm not sure why no one else thought of it, but glad that I did.

  • Just bought a Macbook Air.  I does not appear to be compatible with my LCD projector.  What LCD projectors work best with MacBook Air?

    My Cannon LCD LV-7210 projector does not recognize my Macbook Air nor does my Macbook Air recognize it is attached to an LCD projector.  Yes, I do have the proper adapter. 
    What LCD projectors work best with Macbook Air?  Does this LCD projector have auto-detect for computer?
    Thanks!

    I've just purchased a *27in (aluminium case) LCD Cinema Display* and am using it with my MacBook Pro, linked by the supplied three-jack cable (Mini DVI display jack).
    The 27" display uses Mini DisplayPort, not Mini DVI.
    But I also have *a white-cased MacBook (purchased in 2008) which has an older type of display socket*, certainly not compatible with the Mini DVI type.
    The early Mac Book uses Mini DVI.
    1. Is there a cable or adaptor available to link my older MacBook to the Cinema Display? Nothing in the online store looks 'right'
    No. Mini DVI is single-link, and does not support the resolution needed for the 27" display.

  • Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    So it can be .mp4 format.
    If not you have to convert it.
    Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

  • Wifi password doesn't work on my Macbook Air

    My WiFi Password works on other Macs I own, my Android, and my iPad. However, it will not work on my Macbook Air. It senses the WiFi, but it continues to say the password is incorrect. I know that the type is WEP and that is what I have selected. Any idea of what the problem could be?

    I had this problem but managed to fix it tonight. The problem is half with my Macbook Air and half with my router (I use a BT Home Hub 5).
    My router is dual band and was configured to combine the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks into one. All my other devices (including two iPhones, apple tv and iMac!) were fine but Macbook Air kept rejecting password even though it was correct.
    I went into router settings and then advanced settings. I unticked the option to combine the networks and renamed the 5ghz network to something else.
    This instantly fixed the issue.
    Hope that helps

  • My volume isn't working on my MacBook Air. How do i fix it?

When i tried to shut it off i couldnt because the mail had to close but when i tried to close it, it wouldnt work. How can i close the mail to make the volume work again?

    did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
    Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
      * this occurrence is being looked into.
    Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
    If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
       However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
    Test this and re-verify
    peace

    As you quote the price in 'Pounds' I'm assuming you are in the UK!
    You might want to consider one of these from Amazon.  I have one on my MBA and it works well.
