Users of Macs without optical drives can either buy an Apple USB SuperDrive or use DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc when they need access to an optical drive.
many computer shops online and brick and mortar also sell external USB optical drives if you don't want to pay the premium for the apple external optical drive. Something to think about if it's only something you need for a limited use like occasional software installation.
thanks for suggestion. downloaded trial version but this keeps coming up:
error occurred- The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.
thanks for reply. just tried that 3 times and restarted computer. It still keeps saying system error.
Email adobe with a screen shot of your error message. I assume you were downloading/purchased a Mac version not PC?
yes it was mac not pc download. their customer phone support isn't opened on weekends..grr
yes a friend has one that I was going to borrow but I just broke down and bought got the apple superdrive. I'd like to download Dvd's whenever I want.
Can't always assume that's possible. I for one don't have any friends that have external optical drives. I don't think I've seen any of them with optical media for that matter!
