I just bought a new MacBook Air. In my old one, I could go from screen to screen by using three fingers to swipe over the key pad. This one just sits there. It is Yosemite. How do I set up preferences so I can use three fingers to move from screen to screen?

Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

New MacBook Air backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open, I just bought a new MacBook Air and backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open

I just bought a new MacBook Air after my old one suffered a drink being spilled on it and died. I used migration assistant to back up from my time capsule but now it won't open Mail or Safari and iTunes can't find all my music. Any ideas how to fix this? I have downloaded software updates.

Thanks for that advice however now I have a duplicate of all my documents on my hard drive but the Mail and Safari will not open. I have been able to open iTunes. I have tried to download software updates for Mail and Safari and this tells me that the download was unsuccessful ( after taking some time to download). Can I reinstall the system? Would that help?

I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago and now there is out a newer model

I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago here in Thailand and found out that since 3 days the new ones where lunched. is there a chance to get the new one for no charge? it happend to me with the iphone in the US before and apple changed it to the new model for no charge. But does this service work for Thailand too??

After 3 weeks, probably not, but it's up to you to at least try. If you purchased your computer through Apple's online store in Thailand, there's a phone number you can call. If you purchased the product through a premium reseller (iStudio, for example), you should take it back to the store. If you purchased it from a dodgy storefront in Pantip Plaza, or MBK, you can always ask...but, I'm guessing that they won't help.

I just bought a new macbook air and i want to set it up with a new apple id. Can I delete my old one?

I just bought a new macbook air for college and I am currently setting it up. I have had a long time apple id as a kid, but I want to set up a fresh, new one for this computer. However, the email I want to use is already associated with my old apple id, can I delete this account completely to "restart"?

No, that is not possible as well as not preferred. If you setup a new Apple ID your previous purchases, downloads, etc. done with the old Apple ID will not longer be available unless you re-purchase them using the new Apple ID.

Just bought a new macbook air. speakers show that they work but can't hear Skype or youtube. Can you help?

Hi , just bought a new macbook air. speakers show that they work but can't hear Skype or youtube. Can you help?

Have you checked that they are selected in System Preferences>Sound>Output tab?
If that doesn't help, and although I've never had to use it myself, I've read on here occasionally that launching Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder and messing with the settings in there can sometimes sort out audio problems.

I just bought a new macbook air. Now i want to sync my iphone to this computer. I copied all my songs and apps to the itunes. If I sync do i loose all my contacts and notes? because i could not copy it to itunes

You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.

Go into your router's page and disable password protection and try connecting again.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Just bought a new MacBook Air and tried to hook up my iPhone 5, but the computer won't recognize it. Please help!

I just bought a new MacBook Air, updated my iTunes on both my Air and my iPhone 5, but my Air won't recognize my iPhone or if it does, it will only show up for a second and then it gets disconnected again. I know it's not the plug because my phone charges fine from the wall...

Hi nryan15,

You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

I have set up as security password-code for home screen. So when I turn it on, I forgotten the correct code and I'm locked out for 60 minutes ;( How do I retrieve or reset so I can use phone

You need to connect to iTunes and restore the iPhone to remove the passcode...then from a recent backup restore the content.

I just bought a new MacBook Air with Lion. How can I install Lion on my MacPro?

If the way I get Lion is only pre-installed on the new computer, I'm wondering how I would go about installing it on another Mac that I already own. Thanks!

Apple may have used the App store version of Lion as a temporary distribution channel for its brief free upgrade program in July, but Apple has never in the past continuously licensed the OS that comes with a new computer for use also on additional computers. The situation with Lion is therefore nothing new. The App store product is equivalent to the old "retail DVD" that you could buy for previous OS versions - they are both meant for older computers that shipped with earlier OS versions, and neither is free. The difference in the case of Lion is that you are getting something similar to the old "family-pack" retail DVD at no extra cost.
Details are in the Lion OS X 7.2 license agreement, available here.

It includes the following, which makes clear that the new-product license and the App store license are different entities:

For example, these standard single-copy license terms apply to you if you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware.
