Accessing flash drive on macbook air

hi, i recently got a air mac and needed to transfer all of my music, movies and photos from my old laptop onto a usb flash drive but im having trouble trying to figure out how to transfer the information from the flashdrive onto my mac, i dont know how to access the documents. thanks

Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click that drive, and drag the files to the desired locations. You'll also need an application capable of opening them.

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    Hey, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash on my Macbook Air. At a certain point it asks for my password but it doesn't take it. So I cannot continue installment. I have reset my password already. Still the same problem. How can I continue to install when it keeps asking for a password it doesn't recognize over and over again? How many times do I have to reset it then? Advice please

    You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

  • How to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air

    I have MacBook Air and also Apple Supper drive for the same. can u help me to find dvd/cd burrning and copy software. and also guide me "how to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air"

    First to create a video DVD you need to use DVD authoring software like iDVD.  You can purchase it from the online Apple Store while supplies last.
    For creating a disk image use Disk Utility.
    To burn items to a CD or data DVD just insert the disc in the optical drive and drag those items onto the disc icon on the Desktop.  Then drag the disc icon to the Trash icon in the Dock which changes to a Burn icon.

  • Install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air

    I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air and it stops at 98% stating that it needs to to close Safari browser, I close it and still it does not fully install it. 

    You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
    If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else.

  • How to download 'Flash Player' on MacBook Air?

    how to download 'Flash Player' on MacBook Air?

    Try this alternative:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    It includes the actual installer (so it's a lot larger) whereas the other installer downloads the install data once it starts running, which may be where your problem lies.

  • HT1199 Can't access iphoto on my MacBook Air

    I can't access iphoto on my MacBook Air.  I went to move photos to make more room on my disk (kept getting message that disk was almost full) and it won't bring up any photos.  What do I do now?

    Hold the Option or alt key when starting iPhoto.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when you try to start it.

    Do you know if solid state storage DD of MacBook Pro is like flash Storage of MacBook Air? And do you know the specifications of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air RAM?

    Uh, iFixit and the manufacturer of the upgradeable SSD Flash Storage for the 2010-2011 MBA would respectfully disagree. Yes, the volatile memory is not upgradeable, but the storage SSD (NAND Flash) is as upgradeable as it gets.

  • How 2 access flash drives via iphone..(just an idea)

    guys im jus gona give idea or a new concept 4 the iphone4 ie a new feature which can be included in the future..what does the iphone doesn't have when compared to the mac book.??..a"USB port"..i have designed a cable such that in one end its a mini usb male pin and on the other end its a normal usb female pin...so if there is a female pin usb port in the iphone...and with some upgradation in the software(os)
    ..it will help accessing flash drives,memory cards..etc..the data transfer port which is now used in the iphone can also be transformed.."my main idea is to access flash drives"...im sure tat apple engineers r brainy enough 2 come up wit this concept in some other way...

    Firstly, you will have to buy more equipment as the Express doesn't support extra drives.
    If you can use BTMM, then the Time Capsule is good, or the AirPort Extreme. However, these don't offer a web interface to access them, or a way of accessing them from iOS.
    Synology NASes might work, or if you want to mess around a Raspberry Pi. Possibly even a Mac mini if you have the cash to spend.

  • Wireless Access to iMac DVD Drive from MacBook Air

    Help please? Could access the IMac drive and DVDs from my MacBook Air until recently. Drive is no longer accessible. Have also lost ability to print remotely to printer attached to iMac (have tried re-setting permissions etc). Can also no longer access the HD on the iMac using wireless access from the MacBook Air. Also have a Mac Book (one of my offspring's) which has same problems. Tried re-pairing with Bluetooth etc. and checking sharing in sys prefs, but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?!? Probably something dead simple, but I've been trying to get it going for so long - I give up!

    Thank you. This one has very mixed feedback, that's why i thought i will ask. Have you used or heard about Asus BW-12D1S-U External Blu-ray Writer - Black? I am tempted to buy this one
    thank you

  • Flash drive on mac air

    Ive literally just brought a Macbook air which I believe has 4Gb onboard abd 64GB flash storage but how do I access the flash storage? Its just that I seem to have filled the 4gb with about a quarter of the amount of stuff that I tried to transfer from my old windows laptop.
    Thanks

    Your 4GB is your RAM....You can not access that one....That is for your system apps and os to access.
    Your 64GB Flash Storage is your hard drive - which you can access and transfer and save files too....It's the one that's called McIntosh HD in your desktop...If it isn't shown anywhere in your desktop then click on Finder - Preferences - General and put a checkmark on Hard Disk.
    Now, if you're having problems transferring your files, maybe your Flash Storage is full.
    To determine this - click on activity monitor and click on one of the tabs in the bottom called Disk Usage.
    That will tell you have much space you've used and how much is left...
    Good luck
