I just purchased a Macbook Air and I didn't get the free os x mountain lion download
I just purchased a Macbook Air from the apple store and to install it i had to have my macbook plugged in so the technician told me to download it when i got home. Once i got home and turned it on it wouldn't allow me to install it without paying for it.
If you just bought it, it should already have Mountain Lion. Who did you buy it from?
If it really doesn't, got here: http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/

Since you have another Mac, you could share it's DVD drive in System Preferences > Sharing.
Then use Remote Disc found on the MBair's finder's sidebar. This will mount the DVD in your old Mac to the MBair.

hi! just purchased a macbook air, and because of the limited storage (256 gb) and my massive music library, I am going to find an alternative storage method. I am debating between an external hard drive and utilizing iCloud. icloud makes me a little nervous....having my entire library in "the cloud" and deleted off of my desktop - do most of you who use icloud for music and photos have a backup on external hard drive anyway? So....iCloud vs. external hard drive for storage. Thoughts? opinions? thanks!
iTunes Match allows you to put 25,000 songs in the Cloud. At present it isn't possible to add more storage but I wouldn be surprised if that isn't an option offered in the future. With iTunes Match you allow Apple to match your songs (purchased from Apple, ripped from your own CDs are purchased elsewhere). When Apple cannot match a song a copy of yours is uploaded.
Once the match process is complete (for my 24,000+ collection it took a couple days) the fun begins. Since my MBA can't hanle all my music, I use iTunes Match to download a small selection of my music every couple of weeks. My music remains in the cloud even when I delete them from my computer and if I have WiFi accesss I can get new songs. It is a great service and much more convenient than keeping your MBA's music on an external drive. -

Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!
Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

I just purchased a mac air and cannot figure out how to get my pictures from my toshiba windows to the air into iphoto and I also cannot get my library of music and apps to get to the mac air as well. Each time I try to synch it tells me it will repace my ipad and iphone with the blank library from the new air. How do I get my music, apps and photos to the air. I just subscribed to imatch and it charged me and only has 600 of my 2,000 songs!
You must move your photos and music from your Toshiba to your MBA directly, not using the iPhone. The Migration Assistant app on your Mac will help.

I have just purchased a MB Air to replace my dead PC and want it to be the new backup point for my iphone. How do I tell Itunes that I want the MB to be the one and not the dead PC? Thanks
That's not how it works. Authorising is for music purchased from iTunes, not for music you've imported from CDsor elsewhere. Music purchased form other suppliers would also not be subject to this authorising procedure.
Do you still have the old computer? If so, you need to copy the iTunes Library from that to the new computer. For example, in Windows XP, I would copy the My Music folder (which contains the iTunes Library, my Amazon MP3 purchases and album artwork) and put that onto an external drive. Then move the drive to the new computer and copy the copied folder onto the new machine thereby replacing the new machine's My Music folder. Then tell iTunes to look at the imported Library.
Obviously, you need to take into account that you have Windows 7 (where I assume the folder names may be different), any other places on you old machine where songs are located and so on. -
I just purchased a mac air, i heard i can get the LIONS for free, is this free
I just purchased a mac air 1 week ago, i was told my bestbuy sales person that i can get the free download to LIONS in july, is this true? or should i just return the macbook air and waite for july.
thanks.
this is the first mac for me ever, so far i love it.Yes, that's correct. Keep your receipt and the box to prove date of purchase.
There is a rumor that Apple will release a new MBA model concurrent with the release of Lion. If you return yours within 14 days you can get your money refunded (less restocking fee.) Then wait for the new model since it may show up in another month or so. Bear in mind that a new MBA in July is just a rumor. -

I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again." I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working! If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this. Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS. I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything.Immargarita, Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store. They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store. I was not going home until it worked.
Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started. So... I qualified for tech support. I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed. Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work. I have the good old PS disc. I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support. Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store. BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor. The download stopped once. Then he continued it and everything is there now.
Shame on you Apple.
Hope this helps. -
How do I tell which version Macbook Air I own??? Can't tell the date manufactured anywhere..../?????
The last MacBook Air to contain a physical reinstallation disk/drive was the 2010 model, which came with a USB flash drive. Subsequent models utilize the built-in Recovery Partition, along with Internet Recovery to enable the user to reinstall the original OS.
If yours is a 2010 model, then you should go through Technical Support to order a replacement drive. It is treated much the same way as if you were ordering a replacement part for your unit.
If you consult an application called MacTracker, you can compare your model as shown in "About this Mac" in the Apple menu, the database in Mactracker to obtain your model# and generation type. -
Just purchased a macbook air and forgot password while transferring files
While attempting to transfer profiles from my Mac to Macbook, the wrong profile that has gone unused waas the only one transfered. Needless to say I forgot the password of that profile. I thought it was the same but the passsword doesn't work. Any idea how to reset the computer so I can start over?
it would be helpful to know what version of OS X you are running on the mac you need to reset the password on. YOu have iOS 5.1.1 listed, but that is for iPhones, iPads etc. You should update it to reflect what version of OS X you are running to prevent further confusion.
