What software is needed to run disks on my macbook

I have a disk for my class at school and I put it into the disk drive and nothing is happening. I never put any new software on my Mac except apps. I have FlashPlayer too. The disk is trying to run as a font book document? but, I dont even know what that means,
Please help,
Sincerly,
     Frusterated User

That certainly sounds like a Windows file. Are there another file extensions? Such as .PDF .APP .DOC?

  • What software is needed for system recovery? (cont'd)

    What software is needed for system recovery of a Toshiba Satellite Pale8u-02p01D (also known as L355D-S7901) running Vista?
    If I can just get the name/number for the recover software I will get it from eBay.
    Thanks!
    Solved!

    If you want to look for that on eBay, look for the recovery discs for the model above. I doubt you'll find them there.
    You can order them from Toshiba, of course.
       Order Toshiba Recovery Media
    And you might get them cheaper from a third-party vendor.

  • How do I port my Windows Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files to the MAC?  What software is needed on the MAC to use them?  Thanks.

    You can certainly use iWork, though I hesitate to recommend it to a seasoned Windows user simply because it would add another level of the unfamiliar with which you would have to gain familiarity. The iWork applications are certainly very competent and in most respects both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. They are not 100% compatible however, though that typically manifests itself in document formatting issues rather than anything more significant.
    I have never attempted to import emails from a Windows system into MacOS - other than in Outlook connected to an Exchange server, thus not really an issue at all. I doubt that the Mail app in MacOS can import directly, but of course you could always set the account(s) up on the Mac and then forward emails you want to keep from the PC. Not elegant, but it works. Virtually any Windows document or file, whichever application created it, can be opened or converted for use on a Mac, and using both systems on my desk each day I rarely see any issues switching stuff from one machine to the other. You may stumble over one or two issues, but likely not significant.
    In switching platforms there will be some inevitable issues, not so much with being able to import your stuff because there's usually a workaround or a utility that can help, but just with getting familiar with the platform and the differences between Windows and MacOS that can obscure their similarities. From time to time the support community here hears from a user who has found the migration very problematic and regrets it, but for the most part the phrase 'I should have done this years ago...' is rather more prevalent!

  • I need to edit sections of several songs into a single track on a CD for a dressage test. Any ideas what software I need to get to achieve this?

    I need to edit sections of several songs into a single track on a CD for a dressage test. Any ideas what software I need to get to achieve this?

    Audacity 1.2.5 is an audio editor in which you can assemble and edit your recordings: it's free. I don't think it would burn CDs - you would have to reimport the finished recording into iTunes and burn from there.
    Amadeus Lite is $24.99 in the Mac App Store and is in my opinion a better product: it can burn your audio CD directly.
    If this is a one-off job you might as well use Audacity: if you are planning on doing this sort of thing at all often you would probably be better off either with Amadeus Lite or Amadeus Pro ($59.99) though this latter may well be over-specified for you as it includes multi-track editing.

  • MSI 1950pro VIVO. What software I need for video-in?

    Hi.
    I am currently using MSI radeon1950pro pcie card. It has VIVO connector too. I tried yesterday to plug my Playstation2 to the card as I dont have TV, well i didint get to play as i dont know what software i should use for that. I installed ati's suplied radeon1950 pro driver package. I also tried to install wdm driver, and some multimedia center stuff, which promptly notices that it will only work/install with all-in-wonder card.
    I also tried with Dscaler and AMcap, but neither of them can find any video capture driver or so.
    I would need to get analog videosignal opened in some program that can handle fullscreen mode, so I could play my Playstation trough my PC screen
    Someone who has done something similar, or just done something with video in pls tell me what software I need..

    I have catalyst 6.11 installed.
    I have also installed WDM driver, at least the installer goes trough.
    I have installed also avivo decoders/encoder files from ati, in addition to this i have installed multimedia center, and some extra kits for it. Like dao/mac, dvd/dtv decoder and some encoder package. I have installed practically all files that i can find from ati.
    Firstly i notice that multimedia center installation creates zero shortcuts, so finding this software is bit hard. Or if it did not install anything, the installer didint notify me, just quit .. cant be sure about this.
    I have also installed Dscaler (tv viewer, that should be able to read video-in, atelast from nvidia cards). I have also installed microsoft media encoder, which is somekind stream capture tool / video encoding tool.
    Problem is that no software detects that this card has VIVO. 
    I need to know how to get some damn driver installed so that the video-in comes as visible capture device and then some program to show it.
    Is this somehow related to fact, that ati is offering different driver kit for 1950pro cards? I tried with those drivers yesterday, but they didint help at all.
    am I doing wrong?

  • What software is needed and how do I transfer a powerpoint presentation from my Macbook to my i pad?

    what software is needed and how do I transfer a powerpoint presentation from my Macbook to my i pad?

    You need an app that supports Powerpoint documents on your iPad e.g. Documents To Go (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8 or the premium version http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-premium-office/id317107309?mt=8). How to copy to that app is explained here http://support.dataviz.com/support.srch?docid=14497&pid=198 . I havn't got the app myself but I have seen other people recommend it.

  • I need to run windows in my Macbook

    Hello,
    I need to run Windows in my Macbook.
    So I know I need to get Parallels or VM Fusion.
    What I don't know is how do I get a windows program and which one? I checked and there are SP2 and SP2 ORM? Which one I need?
    Thanks
    ZK

    Hi ZK and welcome to Discussions,
    the OEM (not ORM) version of Windows XP with SP2 will work just fine with either Parallels, VMWare Fusion or Apples BootCamp.
    Have Fun

  • What software can I get to completely check returned macbooks?

    Does anyone know what software I can purchase for iMac's and macbook's, that have been leased by schools previously and I want to ensure all is working properly before I resell them?
    Like pixels, disc drives, etc...?  Thanks!

    The best test would be Apple's hardware test.  Another test product would be TechTool Pro. The version linked to looks to be one that can be used to test many systems, as opposed to TechTool Pro 6 that is licensed per system. I don't know if it's functionally the same as TechTool Pro 6, but you can look into if it would meet your needs.

  • What do I need to do to upgrade my macbook pro 17 from OS X 10.4.11 to Version 10.5.8

    What do I need to do to upgrade my macbook pro 17 from OS X 10.4.11 to  OS X 10.5.8

    Locate and purchase a copy of Leopard. They may be found on eBay and Amazon.com. Be sure to only purchase a retail package.
    Or you can save a little money by upgrading to Snow Leopard which costs $29.00. If you dec8de to purchase Snow Leopard, you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

    Read the small print on your power brick. It handles 110 - 240 volts automatically. All you need is a plug adapter to make your current wall plug fit the European wall sockets.

  • I want to clone an internal windows disk to a larger disk in my G5 Pro. Would I have to do it from the Windows side and what software is needed?

    I want to clone an internal windows 7 disk to a larger disk in my G5 Pro (2009) 2.93. Would I have to do it from the Windows side or can I do it from the mac side, and what software works for cloning if anyone knows.
    thorpug

    We don't mix names G5 (IBM, PowerMac) and Mac Pro (Intel)
    Depends what you actually are doing.
    Do both Mac and Windows reside on same or separate drives?
    For running a Mac utility, then WinClone 4 $39
    Review was on http://www.macwindows.com two weeks ago
    For Windows on its own drive and disk to disk, then Paragon HDM 12 is best.
    You should visit Paragon, for imaging and cloning Windows as well as HFS+ drivers.

  • Need to run disk utility on iMac G4 with OSX 10.3.9/Hardware disk 10.2.7

    I have an iMac G4 currently running with OS X 10.3.9, which was installed on it after it crashed a few years ago. I don't have any retail disks that match OS X 10.3.9, but I have the original manufacturer's hardware disk that came with the computer, which contains Mac OS version 10.2.7.
    My question: In order to run disk utility and repair errors on this computer, do I need to purchase a retail version of the OS X 10.3 disk, or is there some way to run disk utility without the proper OSX disk? I read about checking for possible file system issues using fsck with OS X 10.3 or earlier—is fsck a viable option for me?
    My computer is not having any substantial problems, but I want to avoid any by running Disk Utility now ...
    Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

    Welcome To  Discussions poptartsheart!
    "...OS X 10.3.9, which was installed on it..."
    How was it installed, and by whom?
    You should have been provided a set of the Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, at that time.
    "I read about checking for possible file system issues using fsck with OS X 10.3 or earlier—is fsck a viable option for me?"
    You can run fsck, as instructed in this KB Article Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck, but you really need to have a set of the Panther 10.3.x Full Retail discs.
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, can be purchased, sometimes inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.

  • What do I need to run Windows on a Mac and Word for Windows?

    I have a Mac OS X Lion and would like to run Windows programs which are only programmed to run on Windows.  What do I need so that I can run Windows and Microsoft Word.

    kphhim
    "I have a Mac OS X Lion and would like to run Windows programs which are only programmed to run on Windows."
    Your best bet is to use VirtualBox to provide a virtual machine capability allowing the installation of a guest OS like windows. I've used VB extensively for years and I highly recommend it's use for your issue.
    If you have a full version of windows, you could use bootcamp as an alternative to VB but you lose the ability to access the OSx environment while booted in windows.
    Best of luck

  • What do I need to run/use JSF ??

    Sorry for a rather dumb question. We have a client/server system we would like to convert into a Web Based app using JSF.. we developed our system on J2SE 1.4
    1. What software/runtime environment do I need ?
    2. What downloads must I grab to start using it ??
    Thanks very much
    Mike

    Hi,
    first you'll need the JSF (latest current release EA3) found under:
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/
    then an application server, e.g. tomcat/catalina supplied with the JWDSP and the J2EE platform found at:
    http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicespack.html
    and
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html
    respectively.
    Having installed the JSF you'll find a JSF Spec and tutorial where everything else (configuration, etc.) is explained.
    If you're experiencing problems with the JWSDP 1.1 try getting hold of JWSDP 1.01.
    Good luck & have fun....
