Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

After updating to Yosemite 10.10.2, macbook air Wifi does not work. What to do?
I upgraded from Maverick to Yosemite in Nov 2014 & my mack book air 2011 model became slow. Yesterday after downloading & updating 10.10.2, Wifi does not work, it prompted Gatway Time out. Anybody can help please? Dr. Mostafa
Moreover I am to add, in the same network, windows PC Wifi works & more interestingly Macbook with Maverick also connects with the same Wifi, I mean to say this is the problem with Yosemite 10.10.2. Before updating on Sunday last, my Wifi was working nicely.

Question
When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.Hi Elba,
Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
Kind regards,

What version of iPhoto did you have before upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5?

HT5678 I get an error message when trying to actualise my MacBook Air. It is running OSX 10.8.3
I get an error message when trying to actualise my MacBook Air. It is running OSX 10.8.3. Exactly the same thing happens on my iMac24 !!
I'm having a similar problem. Using software update, iTunes 8.2 begins to download. It gets to about 41 megabytes and then times out. I get various error messages including that I'm not connected to the internet, and the directory didn't have the right permissions, etc.
I don't really use iTunes that much, but I use my iPhone ALL the time and would like to upgrade my iPhone software. Unfortunately, I have to have iTunes 8.2 to do that.
Is anyone from Apple listening?? There seem to be multiple posts about this problem. This is a very un-Mac-like problem.

Since I did the Firefox reset, I try to open my email and it says, Your browser does not accept cookies. I have checked and done your suggested setting 100 times!
Note that a reset tries to migrate cookies to the new profile, so if you had previously as problem with cookies then the problem might have been carried over.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

I Wish to connect my 6 year old Apple 20" Cinema Display to an orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm
The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display. The display will run without it.

In my newly purchased MacBook Air, Dropbox does not function properly (it shows MS Word, Excell and Power Point docs but not pictures). It asks for Mac OS Password for my computer which I do not have. How should I get this password ?
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application. -
My macbook air bluetooth does not pair with a bluetooth speakers!
Recently I bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPT631O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_de tailpage_o01_s00 speakers it pairs with my Iphone 5 perfectly, but when I try to connected to my macbook air, it does not work for me it shows the following window, which cannot get connected to the speakers, thanks in advance for any help
While it appears that the Mac is discoverable, since it is not seeing the speakers, you may need to check the documentation that came with the speakers to see if they are in discovery/pairing mode, and how to get them into that mode. Then try and pair them.

everything freezes i can't even force quit i have to shut off by holding the power button down please help me with this. thanks
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
I completed the updates on my IPhone5, now I have lost my Contacts, I tried going into my ICloud, but the password that I use does not work (Apple Password). I have changed it many many times and it still won't work. The ICloud is trying to VERIFY, but stays at that point.

I have lost my iPhone on August 27, 2013 at 6:15 a.m. when I posizioned it on the strip for the scanner objet of Linate Airport.
After about 10 minutes when I was already on the plane my friend tried to call my number but the phone was already off.
By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.
I have already forwarded the complaint to the police.
How can I find out it if my iPhone 5 is offline?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Macbook Air Contacts does not retrieve my Yahoo Contacts
I've got my laptop a month ago with OS X Lion, then I upgraded to Mountain Lion... I added my Yahoo account for "Mail, Contacts & Calendar" successfully. Now using my macbook air Mail, I can see/check my Yahoo mails. With Calendar, I can also see my Yahoo calendar. However, with Contacts, I could not see my Yahoo contacts. There is a warning message in the 'Contacts' window that says: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVHTTPStatusErrorDomain error 500.)".

Macbook air 2013 does not see firewire drive to which I do my backups
I have a "My Passport Studio WD" drive 1GB that I have used many times with this very macbook air. Today, it keeps flashing. The drive does not appear in Disc Utility. I tried another firewire drive (OWC), same result. I changed cable, same result. The only thing I cannot change is the apple adapter from lightning to FireWire because I only have one.
Try plugging it in over USB. If you can, try it on another Mac over FW or USB. FYI, if the drive supports USB 3.0, that is about twice as fast as FW. If it only supports USB 2.0 then FW is faster.
If it simply won't work it is not necessarily the disk that is dead. It could be the electronics in the enclosure. If so try purchasing Tunderbolt, FW or USB 3.0 external enclosure and put the disk in that.
FireWire encolsure ~$40 to $70.
Thunderbolt enclosure: ~$100.
USB 3.0 enclosure (same disk speed as Thunderbolt): ~$10 to $20.
