How do i set permission for mac book air to use drop box?

I am trying to share photos with my son's mac book air. Each time he tries to access my Mac it says he doesnt have permission to access the Dropbox. I cant find out how to change this.
His Mac book air has Air drop but it seems that I don't have this facility.
I have tried exporting files to Mac book air and it looks like they have gone through but can't find them!
It is exasperating- I thought sharing files would be easy- have no hard wiring to do it with so does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help appreciated!!!

If your MBP has Lion installed then you have iCloud by updating to 10.7.2.
If you have a 2011 MBP then Lion should be pre-installed. If it is not then you can purchase and download it via the App Store if you have 10.6.6 or later installed. If you have older PPC-only applications such as Office 2004, then they will have to be upgraded because PPC-only applications will not run in Lion.
You can, however, add a second partition to your hard drive and install Lion on that partition. In this way you can keep your older applications and boot into Snow Leopard when you need to use them.

  • How do I check if my mac book air has a virus?

    How do I check if my mac book air has a virus? I was online and something started downloading, I closed it and put it in the trash but not sure if that is enough to get rid of it? Thanks

    1) Did it finish downloading? if no, you have nothing more to worry about.
    2) Are you using Safari?
    3) If using Safari, do you have Safari set to run/open any files automatically?
    4) Is your system updated with the latest security update? If not, why?
    The bottom line is whether the download was able to install anything.
    As long as your settings are such that no download is able to automatically open, and you ae up to date on your security updates, then you haven't much to worry about.
    Be familiar with the programs in your application folder, such that you would notice anything not supposed to be there. As well, check and make sure that nothing unknown is being launched at startup (check your account settings).
    The absolute best security a Mac can have is an aware and familair user who is moderately vigilant.

  • Largest hard drive available for Mac Book Air

    I have a MacBook air with 120GB SSD drive. I have been running out of space on it for a couple of months now trying to incrementally creating space. I am almost out of space and was wondering if there is a (Apple/non-Apple) hard-drive upgrade option available for Mac Book air. Thanks in advance for your reply.

  • Can I  set up Internet access for Mac book air

    I am able to set up wireless for my Mac book air but I am looking to set up internet (same as I have with my iPad).  Is it possible?

    Have you got Home Sharing set up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819) ? i.e. he may be viewing the content from your computer, not on the actual iPad. If that is the case (which would explain to me him being able to access the videos via the iPod app), then the Restrictions settings that I've already mentioned should also work on that 'remote' content.
    Edit : your last reply appeared whilst I was typing/checking this. And no, the Videos/iPod apps can't be passcode protected, you will need to go back into Restrictions and remove the restriction, or if the films are only on your computer and not on the iPad itself you could turn off home sharing on the iPad whilst he's playing the games : Settings > iPod and tap on your account id and/or password on the right under Home Sharing and delete it/ them (re-enter them when you want to re-enable it).

  • HT1343 How about keyboard shortcuts for Mac Book Air, which has a different keyboard?

    Mac Book Air has a diffent keyboard layout and some of the shortcuts aren't applicable. Please rectify.

    Hi Lanny,
    I understant that, but if I complain to Apple on the feedback, nothing will happen for a million years.
    Here things are visible to the wide Apple Users and hopefully get sorted.
    Apple representatives are welcome to reply and post that the shortkey list is updated to include all the diferent Apple Keyboards.
    Thanks,

  • Help installing office for mac book air

    Gatekeeper is preventing you to install Microsoft Office > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290
    To install Office, you have two possibilities:
    1. Open the installer as I told you on the first comment.
    2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and set "Allow applications downloaded from" to "Anywhere"

  • Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp

    Hi guys,
    Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Whart exactly are you having problems with?
    Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
    You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
    If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
    Hope that helps.....

  • Is it common for mac book air chargers to fail?

    I have mac book air and my charger just seemed to fail. The note book is not charging. I was wondering if this is a common problem with these smaller chargers. I also have Mac book pro with bigger charger which much older, but it never failed.

    The wire that leads from the charger to the computer is thinner today than years ago so I think there are more charger failures due to fraying and cord breakage. As far as the charger itself goes it seems that if they last a year they'll last forever and that doesn't seem to have changed. (Where I work we have a large number of notebooks so I'm dealing with a pretty large sample set.)

  • USB Hub for Mac book air

    I recently got a mac book air. And the problem i have is with the USB port. Since there is only one USB port i tried using a 4-port USB hub. Which is working fine on any other Microsoft laptop. ut wen i tried to use it with my mac air it doesnt seem to be working. The funny thing is my mouse is working fine if i connect it through this hub. but my external hard drives are not registering through the hub, but they work if i direct plug it into the port of the mac air. Please help. As i really need the hub for my mac air.

    I have two USB hubs without a separate power supply. One is older (USB 1.1) and will drive an external hard drive, the newer hub (2.0) is more compact and will not support an external hard disk drive. I cannot find any listing of the power properties of the hubs themselves, or other hubs for sale, and so do not know which might work better. I suspect a non-powered hub is not ideal for an external hard disk drive.
    My solution is to buy a small bluetooth mouse and forget about using a USB hub for a mouse and instead use the port mostly for a USB flash drive.

  • ILife'11 for Mac Book Air

    Please let me know if any other infiormation is needed.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Thanks for the reply PlotinusVeritas.
    I guess the upto date program is only applicable for United States.
    I would try and see if the same is available in India Region too.

  • Hi I want to ask about Microsoft office for Mac book air.

    I purchased microsoft office 365 from their online store, but it failed to set it up. Finally, I asked for refund. i wonder which microsoft office suit for Mac and i can use it for permanently?
    Thanks

    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is the latest major release of Office designed exclusively for the Mac.  As that was released more than four years ago, should you purchase and use it, make sure to do Help > Check for Updates from Word or Excel or PowerPoint once you install it.
    Microsoft announced their Office for Mac 2016 beta software is available for public trial effective today.  Should you use this, you would have to purchase or lose it when it is officially released in a few months.
    Office 365 should be able to work on your machine.
