I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to re-program another key to do that function? Can I re-program a function key to do this function?

Water + electronics do not mix. Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.
This is accidental damage and not covered by warranty.

HT201335 I have a MacBook Air that was bought April 5, 2011. It seems it should be supported for Airplay mirroring but I can't get it to work and I do not have the icon on my bar. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

Is it possible to upgrade my macbook air 13" from 1.86 GHz 128 gb flash and 2GB memory to the 2.13 GHz 256 and 4GB memory, how much would it cost?

About the only thing that "might" be able to do is upgrade the SSD. OWC sells SSD upgrades for that unit. You would have to contact Apple though to verify that no warranty issues would apply when making the upgrade.

Hey Annar99,
I found a few articles that might help with the issue you're encountering. These first two are if the Bluetooth keyboard you're using is the one that came with your iMac. The first is a general "how to" for setting up your Apple Wireless keyboard, while the second one is for troubleshooting if the advice in the first article isn't working:
Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1809
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
If, on the other hand, you're using a third party keyboard, then I would take a look at the following article's troubleshooting section:

Hope that helps,
David

I have a macbook air that is not connecting to the internet correctly. I've had it connected for three weeks, it went into sleep mode, and will not reconnect. It will connect to other wireless routers (I've tested it) but not the one at my apartment.

The problem is not happening with any other device that I have. My iPad, iPhone and another laptop all connect fine. In fact, it's not even the connection. The computer will connect to the net. It just will not open any page. It starts to open and then hangs and hangs. It will not move. Weird since it worked great for three weeks and then all of the sudden, nothing. Click on Safari and I have short hope that it will move and NOTHING! Any thoughts why it would hang up like this and only with this specific network?

This is a known Lion issue, hopefully solved in 10.7.3. But may not be solved immediatly after updating, that was my case.
To make it work i followed those steps.
1.- Restart
2.- Lion 10.7.2 Update
3.- Uninstall netwokrs
4.- Shut down
5.- SMC reset
6.- Reinstall networks
I dont know whether all the above steps are necessary, but for me the update didn't work properly before SMC reset. (I am running a MBA mid2011)
Hope it helps,
Cheers

I have a MacBook Air that I am trying to connect to a Hitachi CP-x301 LCD projector. I'm using a Mini display port to VGA adapter but the projector will not recognize the input.

I tried to download a firmware update but my MBA said the update was unsupported. I'm not super tech, so I'm kind of at a loss. Ultimately, I want to mirror my iPad to the classroom projector so that I can move around while I teach.

Hi Teachingmyself,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Air and projector are not communicating, I recommend the troubleshooting tips found in this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Start with these steps:
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Best,
Jeremy

I have a macbook air that is running 10.6.8 and it will not connect to my 4s that is running ios 6.1.3 and apple is telling me that the two aren't compatible? The air wont recognize the phone when it is plugged in through USB. So am i just screwed?

Im just wondering if this is the case? it just doesnt make any sense to me. These aren't two very old products so it just seems to strange.

I'm baffled. The current iTunes (11.0.4) runs on OS X 10.6.8. If I were you, I would download the current iTunes:
iTunes 11.0.4
... and see if that solves your issue.
... but note your MacBook Air late 2010 can run Mountain Lion, so that would undoubtedly solve the problem for you, whether or not simply loading iTunes does.

Hello.
try this
1- You have to restart your MBA holding down the Command+S keys, and this will take you into Single User Mode and it’s Terminal interface.
2- Then you have to check the filesystem. to do this you have to type the following command in the terminal interface:
fsck -fy
3- Then you have to mount the root drive with write option enabled so you can apply and save any changes. Type this in the temrinal interface:
mount -uw /
4- And then type this command exactly as you see it here:
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
5- Reboot your MBA by typing this in the terminal interface:
reboot
6- After you reboot, you will be see the “Welcome Wizard” startup screen. Follow the wizard and create a new user account. This new account name must be different from the onewhose password you want to recover.
7- Continue and boot into your Mac OS X with the new account you have just created, this new user account is an Administrator and has administrative access
8- Now that you're logged in, go to System Preferences
9- Click on Users & Groups
10- Click on the Lock icon and use your newly created user name and password if asked. This will allow you to make changes to other user accounts
11- On the user panel select the user account whose password you have forgotten and then click on the Change Password... button.
12- Enter your new password
13- Reboot/restart your MBA and now you can log back in with your old account. If you want you can delete the user account you created following this steps.
Hope this helps.
Good luck

I have a MacBook Air running OSX 10.74. I've tried 3 time to upgrade the to the latest OSX. The upgrades downloaded, but when they start to install the operation stops and says the upgrades did not install because an error occurred.

I've tried 3 times to upgrade my operating system. Each time the upgrade is downloaded, but when it starts to install the upgrades, it stops and says the upgrades were not installed because an error occurred. No mention of what the error was.

Hi ..
If you are trying to upgrade to Mavericks, make sure your Mac meets the requirements > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
And make sure there's enough free storage space. Mavericks requires about 8GB's.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
If it's not a storage space issue ...
Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, MacKeeper, and anti virus software can prevent apps from downloading including OS X upgrades
Disable anti virus software if installed
Check the firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Hi i have a macbook air and want to use an external hard drive but it wont let me drop and drag a folder in to iy

Hi i have a macbook air that we have some photos on and i have an external hardrive that we used to use on our laptop, i have tried to drag and drop folders on to the external hardrdive and it wont let me or copy and paste???
it just shows a circle with a diagonal line through it
any help please?

I suspect that the external HDD is not formatted that will allow the MBA write to it. You will have to open Disk Utility>Erase and format it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that this will delete all data on the external HDD.
Ciao.

There are some features of QT that I like, e.g. precise frame selection and save as .png file-help. Am I missing some Apple software? I thought QT for Mountain Lion could convert the .vob files - is there some setting that I have missed?
Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.
