OSX-software for USB Air Quality Sensor ?

I'm trying to find MacOSX-compatible software to read the data-output of the iAQ 77-0900 Indoor Air Quality Monitor USB-stick by AppliedSensor.
http://www.appliedsensor.com/products/indoor-air-monitor.html
This product is sold under variuos names and brands, e.g. :
Volcraft CO-20 USB
MSR CO2 Air Guard USB
Butterfly Indoor Air Monitor USB
Dwyer AQStick model ASQ-1
eNasco Indoor Air monitor USB
FRAKTA co2-Air Gard USB
Sentinel-Haus Institut RaumluftWächter
...but they all have only one piece of compatible software : AirMonitor for Windows-PC
I've not been able to find compatible sotware for OSX, but a similar & compatible piece of software does exist for Linux :
http://code.google.com/p/airsensor-linux-usb/wiki/About
Can anyone help me to read-out the data from the Air Quality Sensor USB-stick from an Intel-Mac ?
Thanks !

Hi Sebastiaan,
Thanks for your reply and your directions.
I am not a developer, and I do not like messing around in the Terminal.
So when I got an error-like warning when I entered the first sudo-command, I did not procede with your directions.
But... if you give me a link where I can download the app you've compiled, I'm willing to test it.
(I have xCode and XQuartz installed)
Furthermore... I did do some other things that might be of interest :
1- I found an MacOSX-compatible Java-app called "DataExplorer", that might do the trick, but I couldn't get it to run properly :
http://www.nongnu.org/dataexplorer/#downloading
2- I managed stand-alone apps using both WineBottler and WineSkin ; they both run, but refuse to see the USB-stick when it's pluged-in...
3- I was also able to install the windows-app on WinOnX, but I get the same error there... the app runs, but it doesn't detect the USB-stick either...
Thanks for your help !

What is the preferred anti-virus/malware software for MacBook Air

What is the preferred anti-virusmalware software for MacBook Air?

None is required.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FOR MACBOOK AIR 2014

Does anyone know if there is a windows support software for MacBook Air 13 inches 2014 version?
I do need it desperately

Again, what do you mean by a Windows Support Software?
Bootcamp will allow you to install Windows on a Mac. Beyond that what else do you need?
The instructions don't mention anything about Support Software.
How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support
For All intents and purposes Bootcamp is the software that supports Windows installations.

Are there any fee for developing software for USB non NI harware?

We develop applications in LabView for pieces of hardware witch communicate via USB. Are there any fee for developing software for USB non NI harware?

If you really mean distributing software that you developed, then you and a lawyer might want to review the LabVIEW software license - especially the section on distribution requirements (in my 6.1 version it's section 12). You should also contact NI directly and ask them. This forum is primarily made up of LabVIEW end-users and any legal advice you get here is worth exactly what it costs, in other words, nothing.

Satellite Pro L300 - Cannot install software for USB 3.0 Expresscard

I am trying to install an AKE USB 3.0 expresscard to a Toshiba Pro L300 running Windows 7. The laptop recognises the expresscard but the software does not install correctly so the unit will not work.
Have tried the NEC & Fresco drivers supplied with the unit and also tried other drivers for AKE downloaded fron internet but still no joy.
Has anyone ever loaded in software for a USB3.0 expresscard successfully? Will the laptop take USB 3.0?
Any help would be much appreciated.

If the software doesnt install correctly try to contact card manufacturer and ask for help.

Airport express software for mac air

how can i get the sofwate for airport ´xpress on my computer

The AirPort Utility should already be installed on your MacBook Air as part of the OS X load. However, if for some reason it is missing, you can download a copy directly from Apple Support here.

Downloading newest software for macbook air not functioning/accepted

Downloading newest software seemed ok until restarted then :no system installed typed code on load up screen - says unable to find driver for this platform?as photo shows.
Any ideas please???

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

Trim function in osx lion for Macbook Air

When does SSD trimming start? Can it be manually forced?

You do not need to force TRIM. I guarantee you that the SSD knows far better than you how to manage wear leveling.
Not so that is why they created TRIM. If the drive knew better then TRIM would not be needed.

USB TV tuner software for OS X?

I just bought a USB TV tuner, and right now I have to boot my Mac Pro into boot camp in order to use it. Is there some kind of software for OS X that I can use so that I don't have to do that?
EDIT: I found EyeTV, but I would rather have something that is free. I don't want to pay $80 just to not have to reboot to watch TV on my Mac.

Asatoran wrote:

Well, at this point it doesn't seem to be worth the trouble for me to either find a free one or pay for EyeTV (my tuner is on the list)...
@Doug: To play Devil's Advocate, is it not worth $80 for the time you waste to reboot the Mac? With "free", you get what you pay for.
... I guess I will just have to reboot a lot (which I do anyway, as I use a lot of Windows apps).
Well, if you're in Windows "a lot", then having the tuner work in Windows would seem to be more desireable than having it work in OSX. Me personally, I built a cheap Windows box to be my TV and DVR so that I don't have to worry about an app crashing taking out my TV (or vice versa.)
@Lupunus: it is a shame that the forum software won't let one change the correct answer once marked. <:-(
I'm in Windows a lot, but I'm in OS X more. And as for the forum software not letting me change the correct answer, I totally agree with you.

After osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?

after osx software reinstalled if I pause for 30 minutes will it cause a problem?

For us to help you we have to understand your problem. That means you have to provide an explanation of it as though we are all Martians. I don't know to what "macro" you are referring nor the "software" you had reloaded. However, from what you did describe I would like to infer you are talking about OS X. That your computer is not starting up, hence you get a startup gray screen with a folder icon that has an "X" in it.
That means the system software is not working properly or that you may have a bad hard drive. So, what you need to do is reinstall your OS X software. You will need either the original installer discs that came with the computer or a retail full Tiger installer disc-set.
You will need to boot from the installer and do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Need help on USB hub for mac air 13 inch (2 external hardisk and Iphone)

Hello everyone, I am a new macbook air user, and currently using 2 external hardisk of 1TB and 2TB. I am looking for usb hub that support both of my external hardisk, ethernet and iphone too. The problem is, limited usb hub for mac air and bad review on balkin product, any advice for me?
One more thing, I just moved from window to mac for the first time, and bought Western Digital 2TB external hardisk, the problem is, I can't save any video/audio file that I downloaded from internet in macbook to be transfer/move to this WD 2TB external hardisk, except for back up and time machine. It refuse to except any file that I try to move in to the external hardisk Can anyone help me? compactibility problem?

First, I have not found any of my hubs to have an issue with my MBA. Just make sure that if any peripherals you attached to the hub are adequately powered. Either by having the hub independently powered, or the devices having their own power supply.
The drive problem you have may be due to the file formatting. If this drive is formatted NTFS, then in many cases you can write to it using a network protocol, but OS X can't write to it if attached directly to the computer, e.g. USB, SATA, FireWire. You will neeed to either format the drive as a HFS+ drive, or use software that enables OS X to write directly to t a NTFS formatted drive, such as NTFS-3G. DISCLAIMER: As the information you provide for your circumstances is limited, this is but one suggestion amongst many, that explain your situation.

Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp

Hi guys,
Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Whart exactly are you having problems with?
Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
Hope that helps.....
