How the hell do I actually do this? Used a housemates windows computer to copy the contents of the disk onto a USB pen drive, yet none of the files run on a mac. (all exes)

The canon website says that software needs to be installed already for the updated stuff on their website to work.

Any ideas how I can actually get round this?

Apple really knocked that one out the park! XD

I had a problem where I needed Canon software and required a digital source (Canon require a CD install then online updates, as apparently everyone wants to steal their softwarez..)

A certain website involving ships can usually find the droids your looking for...

Lol I thought it was common knowledge that MBA's didn't have a dvd/cd drive :O

Yeah that my last resort option but looks like I'll get to that point shortly. iPhoto imports and edits the photos to a decent standard though which I'm quite surprised at!

Sorry if this is obvious, you said none of the files would run and that they were .exe files. I take it you are not attempting to run them on Mac OS and either have the Air running Windows via Bootcamp or a VM? I may have got the wrong end of the stick.

I don't have bootcamp mate. Using lion OSX. I got my housemate to copy the entire cd to my 32gb USB stick but there are no .dmg files on the disc that windows can see anyway. Its got me stumped.

Having to use iPhoto at the moment for basic editing, which isn't great.

Good idea, didn't think of that. I'll try it tomorrow!
