Installing Quicken software on MacBook Air with VMware.

I am a new MacBook Air user and have installed VMware so that I can install Quicken software (which only operates on Windows). I am having all sorts of trouble; when I try to install Quicken in my USB superdrive, nothing happens. It won't load the software. I have tried "autorun" in "windows" but I don't know the name of drive. Sorry, I have very basic knowledge so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sounds like a VMWare Support problem.
I have no such problems with Parallels.
I assume you are aware that Intuit sells Quicken 2007 for Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks for $15, but you want to continue to run a PC Version?

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!

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.

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 windows on a macbook air with no superdrive

I have a macbook air, install discs for windows vista and windows 7 (upgrade only), and no superdrive. I can't run bootcamp since I don't have the superdrive, and I've tried putting ISO's / IMG's on a hard drive (bootcamp work around) but nothing has seemed to work. Can I insert the install disks into a friends mac and use air drop to somehow cause my computer to think the install disk is inside it? How would I go about this if this would work?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have some problems:
1. You need an external optical drive to install Windows on your computer. You can't use the optical drive of another PC or Mac.
2. Boot Camp, on Lion, only supports Windows 7, and you can only install the full version legally. The upgrade edition works, but it's not legal.
Also, if you have a ISO file with Windows 7, you can use it to create a USB drive with Windows to install Windows from it, instead of buying an external optical drive. To install Windows from a USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant, tick the option to create a Windows 7 USB drive and follow the steps

How do I install from superdrive onto macbook air

I am trying to install adobe photoshop onto macbook air with superdrive. How do I do this?

Connect the superdrive and insert the disc, it should start the installer.
If not, Go to Finder > Preferences > General tab > check CDs, DVDs and iPods under Show these items on the desktop. This should give you an icon on the desktop of the Superdrive. Double click the icon and choose the installer app on the DVD.
Regards,
Captfred

I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this. You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts. Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

Installing software on Macbook Air using Apple superdrive

The Apple superdrive I have will not install Office:mac 2011 or iWorks on my new Macbook Air. It plays DVDs without problems but when I installed software discs the icons show but nothing further happens.

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.
