Programming on a macbook air

Is the 11 inch macbbok pro able to develop applications using xcode or should I go up to the Macbook Pro

Your question actually makes no sense ... you're basically asking "Should I use a MacBook Pro or should I use a MacBook Pro?"
Regardless, any of Apple's computers can be used to develop applications.

My MacBook Air does not have an optical drive. I have a program (Megastar V) which is installed using a CD. Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC laptop to install this program on my MacBook Air?

MacBook Air does not have an optical drive. There is a program I wish to install on my Air which is an astronomy application called Megastar V. Installation requires the use of a CD. Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC (toshiba laptop using Windows 7) to install this program onto my Air?
With gratitude,
Otto

Thank you for explaining to me how to do this. I will try it tomorrow and let all of you know how it goes.

How Can I Run My Last Legacy Windows Program on a Macbook Air?

I recently made the leap from the dark side to a new Macbook Air. I couldn't be happier!
I would drop my old Dell laptop in a heartbeat, but I use it to run a Windows XP Access Database (2000), which I will continue to need. I bought my Dell laptop used, because it came with the Windows Access Database program installed, and I have neither the Windows XP OS disk nor the Access Software disk.
I am looking into running virtual Windows on the Macbook Air, but I am unsure how to move the Access Database and Windows OS without the original disks. I assume the easiest way is to somehow clone the Windows XP OS and Access Database Program onto a USB drive, plug it into the MBA, and run it using Virtualbox, or VMWare/Parallel.
Any help from someone who has already figured out how to accomplish this?

How do I get the Messages program on my Macbook Air to work properly?

When I use the Messages program on my computer (I have a Macbook Air), it does not receive all of my iMessages... It will get some of them, but not all of them. Is this normal?
For example, it will receive messages from someone I am already messaging on my laptop. But only if I keep replying on my computer. It seems if I reply on my phone for one message they stop going to my laptop.
I do NOT get new messages from other people. I have to write to them First on my laptop.
I also hate how it doesn't update.. It only shows convos that were on the laptop. Not on the phone AND laptop.
Just wondering if there is anyway to make them work simultaneously! Thank you to anyone who answers!

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
          Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
          Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
          Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.

How do I run cd programs on my macbook air?

I have a CD-Rom program that I want to run on my Macbook Air, but I don't want to purchase an external CD-Rom drive since I only need to run the disk on the initial install ( for the setup.exe component). I have a Toshiba laptop with a CD-drive in it running Windows XP. Please help!

You can buy an external CD/DVD writer for around $25-$35 on ebay. I bought one and it works fine. Or you can buy the Apple external for around $80.
I realize you said you only needed to do this one time. However, down the road there is always another need for the same thing. I think it's worth it to have the external drive handy.

I have Lightroom 5 installed on my MacBook Air but when I try to open the program I receive the message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". I uninstalled, emptied trash and re-installed but I continue to get the same message.

I have Lightroom 5 installed on my iMac which I downloaded (uploaded?) to my MacBook Air (via wi-fi) but unlike the iMac, I'm unable to use the program on the MacBook Air. When I open the program on the iMac and click 'file', (as people using the program would know) there are 21 options - import pics, export, etc, etc - however, in the version on the MacBook Air, opening 'file' gives me four options - New Catalogue, Open Catalogue, Page Setup and Printer - and with that comes the pop-up message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". Any ideas please?

A forum thread from 3 years ago talking about LR 1.x which had this problem seems to need permissions fixed or new folders created with the corrected permissions. You might try doing a repair permissions for your user and/or run LR as an administrator user. I am a PC person so cannot tell you exactly how to do that.

How can I set up my macbook air to use programs on my iMac over the internet?

I have a program (MacPractice) on my iMac. It's running the server program while my MacBook Air is running the client software which has to be connected via the wireless (last Gen Time machine) in my office to function. What do I need to do to be able to access my iMac over the internet when I'm out of the office? I was told that I would need to set up a DNS (?) address to log in. I use a Comcast internet modem which goes through my Time Machine wireless router to my iMac. Is this even possible to do with the current setup?

Ok, in this case your iMac will be performing as an application server. As such, it will need to be "reachable" from the Internet. This is typically done in one of two ways: 1) It is assigned a static Public IP address, or 2) It is assigned a static Private IP address.
In the first method, your iMac will be like any other publically available server (Web, E-Mail, etc.) To accomplish this, you would need for your ISP to provide you with a static Public IP. You can then configure the AirPort Extreme to allow remote clients to access this server by creating a DMZ for the server. This would fully expose your iMac to the Internet.
In the second method, you would assign the iMac a static Private IP address that is just outside of the default range of the AirPort's DHCP service. You would then configure the AirPort for port mapping. Which ports that will be needed to be mapped will depend on what your application's support tells you.

InDesign on MacBook Air or on 2 GB RAM on laptop?

Having broken my shoulder, I am no longer able to carry half the weight I once could.
So even my tiny MacBook Pro 13 is too much for me.
Anyone have experience running ID as well as PSD, Flash, AI, Acrobat, and some other CS5 programs on a MacBook Air or a laptop with only 2 GBs of RAM?
This wouldn't be for "real work" just 72 ppi demo and classes.
But I don't want to switch to Windows (thanks anyway).

The MacBook Air is designed to be used wirelessly, hence the name. It is by definition a second Mac and was never intended to be someone's only computer.
DVD and Ethernet ports on my laptop have been used fewer times than I have fingers. Very few laptops have enough batteries to play a whole DVD without draining 50% of their battery life.
If you do have an optical drive and actually and use your laptop as your primary computer the OptiBay is a better use of that slot. Turns your internal optical drive into an external and puts a hard drive where your useless, slow optical drive used to be.

As for the 2gb RAM, that won't change until they refresh them. The 16 RAM chips are soldered in and likely the maximum density for the space. The 2 gigabit DRAM chips are thicker than what can be accommodated in the Air due to its thinness. I think the standard when they designed the Air was 50nm and they are down to 30nm, but its hard to tell whether Apple would use them as the 2nd gen Air was a major price decrease from the first offering.

Problems running Etax 2014 on Macbook Air

Hi,
I have installed the ATOs etas 2014 program to my macbook air. The ATO site says it is compatible and I have followed all instructions to install the program although when I go to run the icon, it continuously opens in the default installer window and prompts me to install the program again. I have since upgraded to Mavericks OS 10.4.9 and ensured I am connected to the internet thinking this would troubleshoot the problem but have been unsuccessful. I used the 2013 etax program last year without any issues.
Has anyone been able to successfully run the ATOs 2014 etax program.

Hi,
- Suggest that you Move to Trash /Applications/etax2014.app
- and retry the install again from a fresh downloaded: https://www.ato.gov.au/misc/downloads/etaxswap/etax2014_1.dmg
- Open the dmg, double click the pkg to install fresh
I installed it, Trashed it, reinstall and both times /Applications/etax2014 opened without issue.
Hope this helps

I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to reprogram a different key to be my plus/equals key? Can I program a function key? key

I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to re-program another key to do that function? Can I re-program a function key to do this function?

Water + electronics do not mix. Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.
This is accidental damage and not covered by warranty.

How do I accept/purchase/download ilife programs after restoring Lion on a new Macbook Air using a new apple ID. App store will not let me do anything but accept; and it won't accept the apps with the new apple id

I wanted to restore my new Macbook Air (over the web).. using a new apple ID instead of the old one I originally used when I bought the computer from the apple store a month ago. By doing that, everything worked, but the iLife programs that originally came with it shows in the app store as "ACCEPT". When I try to accept them... it says they are assigned to another ID.. you must repurchase them for this ID.
I have no problem if I have to repurchase. I just can't find anywhere to do that. No matter what I do, I can only "ACCEPT".. which as I said earlier - don't work.
Thanks for any help
