Hi I have a macbook air which obviously doesnt come with a disc drive, but have a disc for microsoft office i want to put on...is there a way of downloading it and using the same product key to validate? or can I do it via disc sharing from my old PC? thanks

Download the trial from the Microsoft site, then activate with the code that came with your box set.
And yes, you can use Remote Disc to make use of the DVD unit on your PC.

How to install Elements 12 on MacBook Air with no DVD drive? [was:URGANT HELP NEEDED!]

I have a MacBook Air, with no CD drive. I just purchased 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 & Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Premiere', from the 'Best Buy' store. I asked for help before I purchased the product, to make sure I did not need a CD drive to download 'Photoshop' to my MacBook Air, the lady told me I did not need a CD drive for it to download. I come home to download it, to find that there are no instructions for online downloading or downloading without a CD drive. I have tried calling customer service and doing research on the computer for help and I can not find any answers what so ever. I really need help with this, as I have deleted all of my photos and videos on my MacBook Air to free up enough space for 'Photoshop' to fit on my laptop. Please help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, thanks!

Time Machine backup created on Mac with a large hard disk. What happens when restore to MacBook Air with small SSD drive?

What if a Time Machine backup was created on a Mac with a large hard disk, e.g. 500GB iMac - and I buy a new MacBook Air with a small SSD hard disk e.g 128GB. What happens when I need to use the larger Time Machine file to set up the new MacBook Air? What happens to all those files that can't fit on the smaller SSD drive?

It is not the HD size, but rather the size of the data it contains. If you right-click your 500GB drive and select "Get Info" you can see how much is actually being used.
Naturally if you are using more space than the new drive has, then you have to make some choices about what you want to keep and what you want to keep archived.
I don't know what options are available but you may simply have to do a manual restore of files you want, in groups.

Will the close future hold a macbook laptop with no disc drive ?

the new macbook pro retina does not have a disc drive.
i find it sad.
i would not buy a laptop unless it had a disc drive. and i would definetly not buy a laptop that costs as much as macbook costs and then have to spend extra money for a disc drive.
because you see. they still sell DVDs and CDs in stores. which means when i go to summerhouse in the summer i sometimes buy a DVD and in the summerhouse i play it on my laptop.
so i think you can remove the disc drive from laptops in about.... idunno 2045. but not now. not yet.
will i be able to buy a macbook laptop next year which still has a disc drive ?

You can buy a 2012 MacBook Pro right now that has an optical drive - it just doesn't have a Retina display. If you've already purchased a Retina display model, you should have known that it wouldn't come with an optical drive. More and more software is being distributed over the Internet rather than optical discs (Adobe comes to mind - I was able to download my CS6 suite while waiting on the disc and activation code to arrive in the mail).
Yeah, it's a bummer for watching movies, I agree. One of the reasons I wouldn't have picked a Retina display. I already bought a late 2011 in March and really don't need the faster CPU/GPU, USB 3.0 ports, etc., on the non-Retina display models, so I'm quite happy.
If you've already purchased the Retina display model you have 14 days in which to return it and get a non-Retina display MacBook Pro with the optical drive.
Your choice - Apple's satisfying almost all of it's customer base at the moment (save for those who want a 17" display)...

Installing Boot Camp on MacBook Air with no optical drive

Hi,
Recently the hardnesses of life forced me to use some Windows-only software. I'm on MBA with model identifier MacBookAir3,2. Don't have optical drive.
How can I install BootCamp and Windows 7 on it without optical drive? I could, using another computer, copy installation disk on to USB-disk if this can solve problem, but I'm stuck about how the process would go. I understand my Air should boot from something Windowsy when it has BootCamp installed, from where will it boot in this case, from USB-disk?
Regards,
Eskr.

Hi,
have a read at Apple BootCamp Setup Guide for MacBook Air http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_Camp_Install-SetupLate2010.pdf
And the procedure is described here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31012_7-20020513-10355804.html
For preparing the USB-Stick you have to have access to a Windows-PC.

Installing software on a MacBook Air with no disc slot

I bought a refurbished MacBook Air today online and I'm picking it up this weekend. I also purchased the software that's like word, excel and PowerPoint for my new Mac however I just realized that the air doesn't have a disc slot. I don't mind that because I never use the disc slot anyways but I'm wondering how I can install my new software without one? Is there anyway apple can have it installed for me at the apple store? I know they sell those like disc things that you can plug into your computer but I really don't want to pay $150 for something I am going to use maybe once or twice a year

You can share the drive from a Windows computer.
You'll need to install this software on the Windows machine:

I believe you can also download Microsoft Office 2011 from the Microsoft website using the same product key from the box.

Installing iLife '11 on MacBook Pro with no Disc Drive

I bought a 2nd hand late 2012 Macbook Pro with Retina Screen. I reinstalled from a Time Machine back up. This laptop should have come with iLife '11 but since it has no superdrive it didn't come on a DVD with the laptop, so how do I get iLife '11 without just buying it off the app store?

If it's second hand then it cannot come with OS X, iWork, or iLife because they are all attached to the Apple ID and password of the seller. If you want iLife you will have to purchase your own copy from the App Store or already own your own copy of iLife.
If the seller was smart enough to remove the computer from the list of registered devices at Apple, then you may be able to re-register it under your name which would enable you to install iLife without having to purchase it. If you have used iLife on your other computer, then you can re-download it freely for this computer.

Installing final cut express with a disc drive

I have 2 copies of final cut express 4, however my laptop was stolen. I know have a new laptop but it is a mac book pro without a disc drive. How do install my copy of final cut express? I don't want to (and can't afford) to buy it again when I already own 2 copies and all the used software coupons.
Can I download it? where and how?

Get an external DVD drive. Apple sells one:

You can probably find something cheaper, if you look around.

Installing on macbook pro with no cd drive

i bought cs6 and put it on my imac...i want to put it on my new macbook but it doesnt have a cd drive and i cant find a link to dowload it with my serial number to my macbook pro

You can most likely download the trial version of the whatever software you are refering to as CS6 thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
CS6: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
Adobe also has a page with downloads for various CS6 applications if you want to try that.

I've bought a used Macbook Air with no installation drive..

Is there a way I can get a instalation drive living here in Brazil? I really wanted to format this computer cause it's easier than reseting everything from the previous owner. Not to mention that the system would be a little bit faster if I did that and installed only softwares I would really use.
Tks!

Unfortunately, as recommended by the lady from CA, as long as the Mac is still associated with the Apple ID of the original owner, you can't even buy those iLife apps with that Mac. You will always get the alert to download them with the original owner's Apple ID.
As suggested by the chavo from España, you need the original owner to contact Apple Care* and request that the OS and the iLife apps be disassociated from his Apple ID. Then you should be free to OS X Recovery to resinstall the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac and install the iLife apps. Afterward, before using any of the iLife apps you need to open the Mac App Store (MAS) to the Purchases pane and Accept these apps into your MAS account's Apple ID. If you use any of the iLife apps before you have accepted them into your account, as per the app's Terms of Use, they all become one-trick-ponies that can not be downloaded onto another Mac or updated.
OS X Recovery -

*If you bought the Mac from a 2nd hand shop and don't have access to the original owner, you may need to provide Apple a purchase receipt to offer proof of sale.

How do you install Windows 7 on Macbook Air with a Windows 7 ISO image?

Macbook Airs have no optical drives, and I can't buy one. I do, however, have the Windows 7 ISO image. And I also have access to a Windows 7 PC. I found an article on CNET on installing from a Flash Drive, but that requires the CD. I also have a hard drive (120GB) and Flash USB (4GB), if they could help. Please help me as many programs I am familiar with are only windows-based. I am tried using open-source software like Wineskin Winery and WineBottler, but to no avail, I always end up confused with them.Please help me.

Crjohnson, I think you can really help me!
Okay, how do you use Wine? I don't want to install lots of software like MacPorts, just want the minimal software. So there are many things like Wine, WineBottler, and Wineskin Winery. What do I use for what? For example, I want to turn a windows game (Age of Empires 2 for example) into a full Mac App. How would I go about this?
I tried researching but it is so in-depth with terminal commands and all(i dont want to risk ruining my computer)
What is crossover? Is it another wine app?
Oh, and I tried Winery Wineskin...why doesn't it work? It keeps installing random things like Gecko, or Mono, but in the end, it doesn't work. Do I need the windows app's executable, or the window's apps's installation executable??
What are engines, and how many do I need to create? I think the best thing for me is to learn wine, because installing windows with bootcamp isn't worth the effort, I think, with me having only a few apps i need to run.
As for learning mac apps only, well, Windows apps dominate the market with most of applications being made for windows, especially games, with 90% market. So for some apps, there just isn't a mac version available, or if there is, it's costly. (Which you already know I can't buy things)
You probably cannot afford to buy Crossover either. It is designed for user friendliness though, but of course Wine cannot run everything.
Yes you have to learn some things to use Wineskin. Normally on Gecko and Mono prompt, just cancel them. Gecko is needed if you have a program using mshtml (its basically a replacement for Internet Explorer for programs that use parts of it). Mono is a replacement for .NET if your program requires that. You do not want to install them if you don't need them as they will just waste space. You can always refresh the wrapper later on and get the same prompts if you find out you need them later.
You can copy the full installed version of a game inside the Wineskin wrapper and try to set it up that way, but its usually easier to just run the installer and install it inside the wrapper just like you'd install it in Windows.
An Engine is something you download... its basically a specific Wine build made for a Wineskin wrapper.
If you do not want to learn Wineskin enough to get in and port your programs yourself, you can often find other people who have done so (at least with games).
Check out sites like PaulTheTall.com who has tons of Wineskin wrappers already made and ready to go for many games... you just download the wrapper, install the game you want in it using the normal Installer, then its ready to go. Many you'll need to manually update yourself to Wineskin 2.5.8 though since all the older versions broke ok the OS X 10.8.2 and 10.7.5 update, and Paul hasn't gotten to all of them yet since he has hundreds (including AoE 2 i think).
There is also Portingteam.com which has tons of pre-made wrappers for games (Including Cider hacks from official games).
If your talking about non-Game apps though, you can normally find an alternative... many of which are free.

Install Windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive

My superdrive have broken, anyone have experience installing windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive?
Last night, I tried but end of with black screen.

Purchase new superdrive, takes 2-3 weeks for shipping at my city.
It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.
