I got my Macbook Air from a family member and I can't get my address book on my computer. What do I do to get the address book on it?

I purchased an Air Mac and can't get the address book on it. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do. I have an IPhone and an IPad and they both have clouds but I don't see one on my Air Mac.

I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id.

I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id. any way to reset the app store from thinking it's still alligned with him? Lion was reset already, but this isn't. If i download on my mac mini, will i then be able to retrieve the download on my air?

Hi...
On the MBAir drag the iPhoto app to the Trash, empty the Trash.
Then try purchasing and downloading iPhoto.
You can re download iPhoto on all your authorized Macs. To authorize the MBAir, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Mac. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password.
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

Just recieved an unlocked iphone 3 from a family member and can't get it to restore it because of an error message

Just receive an unlocked 3gs iphone from a family member and can't unlock the screen. Can't restore iphone because of error message.Now what do I do?

What do you mean by unlock the screen? Is there a passcode set on the iPhone? If so and this is from a family member, can that family member give you the passcode? If it has been forgotten then you must retore from recovery mode per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.

Got my macbook back from Heasync Logic board and now...

I just got my macbook back after 11 days (and i have procare). I brought it in to apple to get fixed because i, like the rest of the macbook using population, was suffering from the random shutdowns... well, i picked it up today... the machine was screaming (as in good) it passed the AHT with flying colors before i left the store... well, i just got home and performed the QT and iTunes updates that i missed while it was at depot and after the required restart... a beautiful stream of colorful lines started dripping down my screen (its the logic board i know) I am not questioning what my current problem is... what my question to all of you who have received your macbooks back after having the MLB and Heatsink replaced....
How many of you have had your NEW logic boards go within a couple days of getting your machine back?

how does one reset the resolution?
system preferences>displays>Display tab
choose an alternate resolution, and then reset it back to the original, and restart the computer
i mention this because apparantly its a flaw in the logic board that is fixed by doing this, its helped others out (search a couple pages deep and youll find more talk about the lines on the screen)

Hello, I got my MacBook Air from a friend, who had installed GARAGEBAND in it. Now, I want to upgrade it, but APPSTORE doesn't let me upgrade it with my Apple ID. I wolud like to solve that problem buying it, but I don't find that opption on Appstore.

Can somebody help me?

Because your Mac is second hand, the iLife apps belong to the original owner of the Mac. As is, these apps will never be yours and you will never be able to update them without the original owner's Apple ID. But to have the original owner's apps on a Mac that is now yours is also software piracy.
Just deleting the apps as suggested by the other user will not allow you to purchase these apps from the Mac App Store with your own account on this Mac. What needs to be done is your friend needs to call Apple Care and request that this Mac is disassociated from his Apple ID, that includes both OS X and the iLife apps. Then you should be able to use OS X Recovery to erase the HDD and install the latest version of the original OS X that came with the Mac and the iLife apps that you can then accept into your own Apple ID.

I am gifting my macbook air to a family member....

As I do not want him using my apple ID, if I add a new admin user can i link that to a new apple ID and then delete my old user account?
I would re-install OS X so everything of mine is wiped but I will not have access to an internet connection to download and install it, nor will I be anywhere near an apple store.

What to do before selling or giving away your Mac

I have mid 2011 macbook air with 10.7.5 and i can't upgrade to 10.9.1.

When i click download the purchased section always flashes and refreshes itself and it's not downloading the software. But in launchpad there is a mavericks icon which is says downloading but it's not counting the download rate.

İt's the file with 5.3 gb data and it's not even downloading any single data and after a while it says 'there is a problem with your internet connection' And that's so annoying.
By the way there is no direct download link in the internet so i'm stuck with this mac app store.
One more little issue: İn Turkey mac app store, iWork applications seems to be free in the top free section but they are 18$ actually.
Just like Interclik i was thinking that maybe it will be better when im not upgrade the software. But i need some applications that requires latest os x.

My MacBook air hard drive died how and where can I fix it?

I need some help my MBA hard drives died I do not have any clue what to do. I also do not have the original softwere. Please help

I'm confused as to why you don't know what to do. Is there some reason why you can't take it right back to where you bought it? You say it's first gen--you mean 2008? Do you have Apple Care?
If you are no where near where you bought it, you can take it into any Apple store, or to any Apple authorized dealer and they should be able to take care of it, or, if you have Apple Care, you can call the Apple Helpline. Apple will send you a box, you send them the computer and they fix it and send it back. If you have Apple Care you probably won't have to pay. If you don't, then you might want to know how much it's going to cost you.

Bought Macbook Air From QFF

Hi we bought an Macbook Air from Qantas Frequent Flyer and below where you select you computer you tick to add an applecare plan.
We did so and my son opened his computer today and it has iMac applecareplan. He tried to register it but it wont let him as its incompattable according to apple.
Is there a way apple will honour this or do i have to sort it out with Qantas Frequent Flyer??
Many thanks

You should probably sort it out with the seller.

How do I add Macbook air to my windows network and how do I connect to windows shares from said Macbook?

Finally, I have a "clued in" boss who wanted a Macbook air. I have it, and I can get to the internet by supplying the correct proxy credentials. My issue is trying to connect him to windows shares on my network? I know how to do this cold for adding a PC, But need some 101 on how to take this awesome macbook air and add it to the domain and how to get connected to various shares within my DOMAIN. as well as use network printers (I assume that is pretty easy). . . I should add that I can ping the servers in question, I am just not familiar with how to connect to them via Mac. . .I am sure this is laughably easy, I am the king of making things difficult, I swear!
Thanks for any and all help as usual!!
Dave

So where is the problem? Contact iTunes support as they suggest and you should be able to complete your purchase. If the matter was serious you would not have received that kind of invitation.

I recently got a MacBook Air and want to transfer my itunes library over from my PC to my Mac.

My family has 1 computer where everyone but me syncs all their devices, I had a PC and had my own library but all on one account. I recently got a MacBook Air and want to get my library from my PC onto my Mac. I tried getting it from icloud but instead I got everyones music all together and none of my playlists where there. How to In get my library onto my Mac without adding the entire icloud library?

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
