Running Win7 on my Macbook Air Smoothly...but how do I load a program using another Mac's dvd drive?

Hi,
Any ideas on how to get dvd sharing running between two macs when your goal is to get the program loaded onto a macbook air running win7? I can't find an equivalent to the mac-mac disc sharing that I have on the OSX partition.
Thanks,
Hanz

i wish that was the answer....it only works if you are running OSX and targeting another OSX drive, or running OSX targeting a PC drive. 
My macbook air is running win7, so I am interested in running Win7 and targeting an OSX drive. Unfortunately, remote disc does not run on windows.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks
HB

    The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

  • Will FCPX run on an 11" Macbook Air?

    Will FCPX run on an 11" Macbook Air?

    Well, call me foolish but I'm attempting to run FCP X on an 11-inch Mac Air attached to a Thunderbolt display with FCP X's Project and Event folders on a 4TB G-RAID Thunderbolt external drive. So far, it is not a good experience. Just to mount and scrub through a project already underway (a several-minute, 720p video with simple transitions) produces the dreaded spinning beach ball of death on a regular basis. I honestly don't know if my Air's 1.8 GHz CPU simply isn't robust enough to handle high definition video or if it's a Thunderbolt issue. My plan was to use the Air to work on simple projects when traveling. I can get everything loaded into the timeline and it will play for a minute or so, then it stops and the beach ball begins to spin. Several minutes later, things seem to break free and the show again plays, but soon stops again. I've got a feeling I'm asking the CPU to do too much -- but it's worth trying. I assumed that heavy duty rendering might stress the system but the struggle just to play back the timeline is a surprise.
    Has anyone out there had success?

  • Will cs5 run on the new macbook air?

    The new macbook air has no hard drive, but instead an internal 128gb flash drive attached directly to the motherboard. It uses the OSX platform. Will the air run cs5?
    Thanks!

    Andrew,
    Sorry to be late in replying but I can assure you that CS5 is running great on the MacBook Air 11" with no issues.

  • Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air

    Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air (just for looking at footage and assembling a rough cut) or is the graphics processing inadequate? Also wondering the same about Photoshop CS5 and Aperture 3.1.3.
    Thanks,

    You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time.  This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road.  You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time.  You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.

    I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
    I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • I am connecting an external USB HDD and I can see it on my Apple Macbook Air. BUT this drive is READ only. How can I write to it?

    I am connecting an external USB HDD and I can see it on my Apple Macbook Air. BUT this drive is READ only. How can I write to it?

    Drive Partition and Format
    1.Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard 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.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. 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.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

    - Ran bootcamp wizard again and only selected downloaded latest software
    - Ran bootcamp wizard again and choose install windows
    Now it's finishing install of windows...

  • TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

  • I want to get a MacBook Air soon but I want to know us Apple is going to decrease the price

    I want to get a MacBook Air soon but I want to know us Apple is going to decrease the price

    As BT said - no one knows. Looking at general practice - Apple may release new verisons of macbooks to replace existing once, probably at similar price. You may be able then to get the current ones at reduced prices as refurbnished ones.
    The bottom line - the new macbook could come out tomorrow, or in 6 months. If you keep waiting - you'll never get one.
    If it fullfils your current needs - that won't change. Go and get it. They are amazing machines. With Apple you can generaly return in within 14/30 days (depend on country) if you're not satisfied (*or if apple release new ones within that time )

  • Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

    If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
    Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.

  • Hello, I was going to have my presentation on my macbook air. But when I putted it up on the big screen it wasn't a normal presentation. There was two pages at the time and a timer came up. How can I fix this as fast as posible? Thank's in advance.

    Your MacBook is using the big screen as the Presenter Display, and the MacBook Air display as the Show display. Tap the 'x' key to swap them during the show.
    Here is more information about using the Presenter Display.

    i use a macbook air 128GB but i wan to upgrade to 256GB can~?on apple store

    No, or at least not without voiding your warranty.  Neither the RAM nor the storage on MBA or retina MBP is considered user serviceable nor is it an upgradeable part through Apple.
    You really need to buy any of those all-solid state machines with what you want, as that is all it's ever going to have.

    Hi - was looking to buy a macbook air soon but wanted to get it with lion software....anyone know when that is available and second question is what is best software for personal money management that works with lion.....use quicken now   thanks

    quicken should work with lion.
    Quicken Essentials will work with Lion.  Most people that have used Quicken for a while (i.e. Quicken 2007) have found that Quicken Essentials isn't much better than a basic spreadsheet.  It is a significant step down from previous versions and does not offer many of the features previously offered.  Right now, it seems like the two most common options are iBank and MoneyDance.
    Frankly... this is a major opportunity for these companies.  The largest commercial distributor of this type of product has been Intuit (Quicken).  That makes it hard for any other company to get any of that market as so many people were already using Quicken and may have had years of data stored in it.  Now, with Quicken effectively out of the picture, it's a great chance for another company.  Just imagine if iPhones were suddenly off the market.  That would give other manufacturers a tremendous opportunity since they wouldn't have to fight an up hill battle against a market giant.
