How do I make the internal mic on my macbook air sustain better when recording on garage band? I have been recording an acoustic guitar and listening back, the mic seems to pick it up well naturally for 1 or 2 seconds then dramatically drop out.

I realised that you just need to go to System Preferences > Sound > Input > and uncheck 'Use ambient noise reduction'. mmm answered my own question.

You can find them at vendors like ifixit and instructions to install.

The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working.

The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working. The camera is non available in settings also. Please help.

Check if it is a hardware issue. If it is take the MBA to an Apple dealer.
Apple menu / About the Mac / More Info / System Report.
On the left, under Hardware, click on USB. The right side will show the USB Device Tree. Check to verify the camera is listed. Should be called Built-in iSight. If it is not listed, take the computer in for a full diagnosis.
If the camera is listed, click on Launch Pad then click on Photo Booth. Do you see anything?

HT3131 In terms of cooling, is it OK to use demanding applications for extended periods with the internal display of my MacBook Air closed?

I'm using a Thunderbolt display when in the office and often run one or two Parallels VMs concurrently, which makes the fans spin a lot. I'm worried that the 13" 2011 MacBook Air isn't being cooled enough with the lid closed so I tend to open it up - am I just being paranoid?

The cooling of the MacBook Air is accomplished via an internal fan which draws in and exhausts air in the rear gap area below the hinge. This gap remains unimpeded whether the computer is open or closed. In fact, Apple has specifically designed the notebook to operate in a "normal" open screen configuration, as well as a closed (clamshell) mode. As long as you retain an adequate clearance and allowance for clean cool airflow at the rear of the Air, there is no recognized issue of whether the unit will adequately cool.
This does not preclude that the user can also "enhance" cooling with external conduction cooling devices designed to extract heat from the heat conductive aluminum case But in normal circumstances it is not required, nor even mentioned by Apple that it is necessary to do so. In fact, Apple even sells a stand for operating the MBA in a closed, vertical position for space savings. This does in face preclude use of a cooling pad, and still it is not a problem.
While there may be those who observe that the open case affords more surface area for direct case to atmosphere heat transfer, one must also recognize that this is probably more than offset by the fact that the device does not generate extra heat supporting a operting and lit display when closed.

Can I replace the internal harddrive in my Macbook Air 2011 A1369 with a larger drive?

Any help would be appreciated

Fix the Wi-Fi issue.. either move the ATV and router closer to one another, remove other devices causing interference, or connect the ATV via an Ethernet cable.

Anyone having trouble with the trackpad on their new Macbook Air?

I bought the new (2012) Macbook Air 2 days after they were released. I have been using a PC forever and was looking forward to this being the right time to switch over to the Mac. However, my trackpad doesnt work well at all and it is to the point where I want to return this thing. Once the mac notices I am moving my finger it tracks fine, but if I stop for 5 seconds and resume moving it, it will not pickup on the movement and I need to try many times before it starts tracking properly. This is most annoying and from my point of view makes this otherwise beautiful laptop unnacceptable. I have tried plugged and unplugged as I read this an issue in earlier mac airs, but it doesnt matter. It seems like there is a software interrupt that is not a high enough priority and the computer get's busy about something else and forgets about the trackpad.

Turned out the hardware was bad. Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great. Thank goodness it was a defect. If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

Since downloading Yosmite on my MAC I have not been able to download photos to LR 5. Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).I have been working with several forums and have dtried going into preference

LR 5 - using it on a MAC-
Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).
I have been working with several forums and have tried all recommendations and none have worked.
I have tried reloading new LR 5 - and it worked for a short time and then stopped.
Very frustrated that I cannot talk with someone at Adobe.
The folks that have made recommendations are great but once their suggestions dont work they drop the link,
Is there someone or someplace I can take my computer to fix this issue.
It seems to be a problem between LR and Yosemite.

The permissions have been changed on the destination folder where the photos are to be copied into.
You must make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write.
Or perhaps the destination folder has been changed accidentally to something else, and you need to change it back to whatever it used to be.

Using Built-in Audio/Mbox for recording on Garage Band - Need Help!

So I just found out that Pro Tools is not yet compatible with Leopard, so I'm working in Garage Band. I want to use live guitars and mics, and I'm curious about the inputs.
Obviously for guitars all I have is 1/4" cables. If I get an 1/8" converter for it, and put it into the headphone jack on my computer, will Garage Band recognize it?
What other interfaces for 1/4" does anyone suggest? I CANNOT get Mbox to work at all. All I get is 'Error code 28773.' Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks everyone -
Tim G.

Why does my apps open for a few seconds then close.?

If My Phone Dies &nd I Turn It Back On I And Try To Get On Twitter Or Instagram. They Will Open For A Few Seconds Then Go Back To My Home Screen. Why Is That Or How Do I Fix This Problem.?

Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

My iPhone 3G phone button no longer works. If I push it I get a black screen for a few seconds then back to the home screen. Everything else is ok. Any ideas how to fix this?

The phone button on my iPhone 3G no longer works. Everything else on the iPhone works fine. I can receive incoming calls. I can make calls directly from Contacts. But if I press the phone button I get a blank white screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I've tried the hard reset and also restoring orignall settings via iTunes but keep getting the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you, Neil.

Thanks for the advice but I've tried resetting network settings and also the reset by pressing home and sleep buttons until getting the Apple logo. Still have the same problem. To be clear (because I mistakenly typed black instead of blank in the title to this thread): If I press the phone button I get a BLANK WHITE screen for a few seconds then it goes back to the home screen. I doubt it's the SIM card as I can receive calls and make them directly from contacts. What I can't do is view my favourite numbers or missed calls or access my voicemail, i.e. all the things you get to via pressing the phone button.

How is it possible to download Lion on a Macbook Air. I have the answer that "it can't be downloaded on this computer". I bought it with my previous MacBook and I would like to make DVD of it. Thank you.

I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have. Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording? If so, how? Step by step needed. Thank you for your time.

Did you remove Quicktime X?
On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.
