Just bought new mini with lion, need to install programs. How? No CD drive

I need to install InDesign on my new mini but there is no CD drive. How can I get software loaded? I also need to transfer stuff from old mini with 10.4.11 os, Can this be done via firewire?

If you plan on using CD/DVD media in the future, you may as well
get yourself a USB CD/DVD burner.
As for transfering from the old Mini, you can connect with Firewire
or you could connect with ethernet.  Since the "old" Mini was
running 10.4.11, I'm guessing it has FW400 so you will need a cable
and/or adapter to go FW400->FW800.  However, you didn't say
what model so I am guessing.
Also, if your version of InDesign is PowerPC and not Intel,
it will not run on the new Mini.  Lion now longer has support
for PowerPC applications.  The same will be true of any other
applications.

    Hi Dale,
    You can follow the article: System requirements | InDesign to check whether CS3 products can work on InDesign CS3.
    Also please let me know what error message you are getting while re installing InDesign.
    Thanks,

  • Just bought new PC with windows 8.1 and installed the 64bit tunes as instructed by the new PC. Only a small part of my music library is now showing but  can see all the files in the itunes folder on an eternal hard drive linked to my old XP pc.

    Problem - changed PC to one with Windows 8.1 ( previous from 2006 with Windos XP). Previously all ITunes stuff on an external harddrive as 80 gigs of music too much for the old PC
    When attached Harddrive to new PC was told needed to install the new 64 bit iTunes as 32 bit iTunes not compatable.
    Did so but only a very small portion of my music is showning -  though rest of Library is still on the external drive in the folder.
    Help please
    Thanks

    Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
    Under iTunes Media though I do not have  folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have  Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
    Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
    Next  - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders  there is some other  iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14  
    AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
    To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend  SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
    Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

  • My computer came with Lion but no install disks, how can I do a reinstaller DVD ??

    This is only part of my problem.
    My computer came with Lion but no install disks, I would love to have a disaster recovery DVD just in case, The is the LionDiskMaker script that says it would do it for Lion and Mountain Lion but when I tried, It did not find what it needed to create such a DVD.
    On the other hand, when I replace my MacBookPro last october, the lady at the Apple Store online used my gmail adress instead of my videotron.ca adress... So now, I have a dual identity, one that owns a MacBookPro and the other that has done business with Apple for ages.
    So :
         1. Can I unify my 2 Apple ID ??
         2. Can I get a kind of installer of Lion without paying the price ??
    Yours truly,
    Binaire101

    You need to download and save the Lion and/or Mountain Lion installer app.
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Unfortunately, the link for getting specific hardware versions has disappeared. So basically:
    Get yourself a spare hard drive freshly erased or with a freshly erased partition of around 8 GBs or more.
    Boot to your Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion from the main menu.
    From the beginning screen select your spare partition/drive as the target destination then begin the download.
    At the end of the download you will observe an Install button for you to click. Now this is important - as soon as that gadget appears you must abort the installation process. There are only two reliable ways to do this quickly: a. yank the cable for the drive from the computer; b. pull the power on the computer - shut it down quickly.
    This will result in your finding a folder on the drive that contains InstallESD.dmg that you can now use to create a bootable USB flash drive installer based on the special build for your model. Use it until the next public release of Lion appears or you move on to Mountain Lion.
    If you do not stop the download process immediately upon its completion you will end up with an installer that always boots to a non-functioning installation progress window instead of the normal main menu.

  • Can I link an OS10.4.11 Mini to a new Mini with Lion?

    After lightning fried the video card in my Mini, which runs Tiger, I'm looking at a new Mini. My question is: Can I link the old Mini to the new one and use it as a back-up hard drive and CD/DVD burner? What do I need to do to make it work? Aside from the video card issue, everything else seems to be in working order, just no color on the display. Also, I have an old iMac drive (OX 9) in a Mini Stack case hooked to my current Mini. Can I still use that for data storage too, or are 3 different operating systems just going to screw up everything?

    You can either boot the old Mac mini in 'FireWire Target Disk Mode' which turns it in to a glorified hard disk, or you can boot it but have Screen Sharing turned on so you can remotely control it from the new Mac.
    When it is booted in FireWire Target Disk Mode all disks on it will appear on your new Mac. You would plug it in to the new Mac via a FireWire cable. With Screen Sharing you would access it over Ethernet not FireWire.

  • Just bought new computer with 32bit Visa

    I used to be able to fix song titles, artist info, add/delete/change album art with XP. I just bought a new computer, and I downloaded the version for XP/Vista. I am no longer able to do this. Is there a workaround? I like to add missing album art, or change it to what I like. Please let me know.

  • I have just bought a car with bluetooth and want to know how to use my iphone with it

    I bought a car with bluetooth facility and want to know how to use use iphone with it

    First, you will need to navigate to the bluetooth interface in your car. Generally, this is something built into the navigation system/entertainment system. Look for an item that says either settings or communication, or bluetooth. If you are having trouble, refer to your car's manual. Next, go to settings, general, bluetooth and change the switch to on. Follow the onscreen instructions in your car until you see something like waiting for device or this is now discoverable or something like that. Your car or some sort of weird name should now appear under the devices list in the bluetooth settings. Now, the car should give you a passcode to type into the phone (it may or may not do this). Type this in and/or follow the rest of the onscreen instructions.

  • I have just bought a mac and also have windows installed but how do i change from windows into mac?

    I have just bought a mac and need to know how to change from using windows into Mac. When the mac starts up windows come up but i want to use Mac?

    To set the default boot volume use the Startup Manager system preferences once you are booted back into the OSX.  Then you would only need the option key at boot time to boot into the "other" OS.

  • I have a new mini ipad and need to install Adobe Flash Player on it in order to use certain items on the internet.  Can Adobe Flash Player be installed an used on my ipad??

    I have my first ipad.  It is the mini version.  I'm trying to go to certain sites on the internet that tell me I need to update or install Adobe Flash Player. When I try to down load Adobe Flash Player I get a message saying "this device does not support Adobe Flash Player".   Can I not use Adobe Flash Player on my ipad like I do on my computers and my iphone???

    You can't install flash player on your iPad, nor on your iPhone - it's not supported on iOS devices, and as Adobe have stopped development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

  • Since one month I have a new Imac with Lion.

    Since one month I have a new Imac with Lion.
    I installed Ilife'11: when I open IDVD it doesn't find the Idvd themes.
    What is happening?

    To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

  • Japanese mac mini with lion

    i just ordered mac mini with lion in japan store.
    but next month i will leave this country.
    my concern is about its language setting: is it possible to switch the language instruction from japanese to english?

    All versions of OS X are multilingual and the interface language can be switched in a few seconds via system preferences/language & text/language.  You put the language you want at the top of the list and logout/login.

  • Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.
    Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Germany: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
    Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.

  • Do I need to re-buy 10.7 Lion for MBP (if buying another new Mini with it on already)?

    If I buy a new machine (probably a Mini for home-theatre use) with 10.7.x Lion on it, do I still need to re-purchase Lion for my current MBPro that currently has 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on it?
    Reason being I'm thinking of buying a Mini in a couple of weeks anyway, so maybe I can wait until I get that (for my home use), and then also update my current MBP machine to Lion for free (instead of shelling out £21 immediately to download it from the Mac App Store today).
    If yes, how do I then install Lion on my current MBP machine after buying the Mini with Lion on it?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    (ps. I followed best practice and waited a while to upgrade; to both wait for the major issues to be fixed, and for software compatibility reasons.)
