Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

what is the necessity of the AC power cord (with the Mac book Air)? when should it be used?
Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
Why are both cords necessary?
They are not.
Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
No. -

I have ab HP 3250 e all in one printer. I have downloaded the software and installed on my Mac Book Air running OS X Mavericks. When I try to print from the Mac Book it shows that it is printing but nothing happens at the printer end. Why?
For some reason I cannot synch my iPhone notes with the Mac Book. How dodo I do this?
How do I change my primary email address on the Mac Book?Hello Bruarong,
It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

2013 MAC Book Air I am unable to get the USB to network connector to work. I tried USB3 and USB2 adapters.
Youre using a very slow adaptor if you have a 2013, get a Gigabit adapter, far far faster.

In my brand new mac book air it dosn't warn me when it has low battery %. It only shows me when my computer has 3% left or less.
What can I do?perform a SMC reset, and in system preference check and uncheck the battery % indicator
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC. -
Mac book air (2013) doesn't start
Hi,
my mac book air doesn't start anymore. I used it yesterday, put it on the macsafe charger and took it off when the chargerlight went green.
Than, when I wanted to start it. Nothing happenend.
I used all the tricks. SMC reboot, shaking it, push all the buttons, tried everything I could find on this apple forum.
nothing happens, no sound, nothing.
Currently i'm on a world trip, so no apple support close for the next months
I really hope somebody can give me some advices...
I hope it will work again in a couple off days like other MBA owners with the same problem.
ALL your suggestions are welcome!Did you reset SMC?

I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air. I used to be able to open them. It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did. still can't. Any ideas?
You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com. The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader. If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files. Hope this helps.

Mac book air crashed, when restarted it gets stuck on grey screen
I was using my MacBook Air (mountain lion osx) this afternoon as normal when the screen froze on me as if the computer had crashed. After a minute or two I decided to restart it by holding down the power button. The air turned off and back on, and got the the grey screen with the apple symbol as if it was re-booting but has been stuck there ever since?.
Any idea what's happened and how to resolve please.
Thanks in advance.Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider. -
Since upgrading to Firefox 3.6.6 my bookmarks will not stay open, when I click on the bookmarks icon on the toolbar my list opens up but then disapears again with in about 10 seconds.... i.e, not enough time for me to chose which site I want to open. I've tried deleting cookies, temp. files and I even tried a complete re-install of Firefox but I'm still getting the same problem.... Any ideas please?
Thanks.... Jon T.I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist -
When I click on things that need to open a pop up nothing happens
All of a sudden when I click on part of a page that would open a small window for details or info, or like when I'm printing postage in PayPal and a new window should open with the label on it, nothing happens. My popup blocker is off. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I reset Firefox. There's no bar showing saying that anything was blocked. It's just nothing at all.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps. -
When I click an email address windows mail opens but in the inbox not create mail.
When I click on an email address on a web page Windows Mail opens with the Inbox window not the Create mail window. How do I set to open create mail window.
Hi wayner,
Thank you for your question:
In the Firefox > Options menu under Applications, search for "mailto". From there select the action drop down and select the action.
If you click on the details of the action it should have https://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?To=%s
This macro should take you to a compose mail if you are logged in.

When i made click in amazon, it showed me the below screen.
I delete History. I did everything possible but always take me to this screen every time i make click in amazon.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks
CHello.
Do the following:
1. Go to the Apple Menu at the top left of the screen
2. Select Software Update...
3. Install any updates that are found.
If the Amazon issue continues after these updates, then do this:
1. Open Safari
2. Erase any web address you have currently showing (for example www.apple.com or www.google.com)
3. Type in www.amazon.com
4. That should take you directly to amazon.com
It should look like this in your Safari::
