After the latest upgrade to OSX 10.9.3 I can only see two screen resolutions for my new MacBook Air 11"

After the latest update to my OSX 10.9.3 I ca see only two Display resolutions 1366 x 768 & 1152 x 648 when I choose scaled in my display preferences. As per Apple site the new MacBook Air 11" can show many display resolutions
Supported resolutions:
1366 by 768 (native), 1344 by 756, and 1280 by 720 pixels at 16:9 aspect ratio; 1152 by 720 and 1024 by 640 pixels at 16:10 aspect ratio; 1024 by 768 and 800 by 600 pixels at 4:3 aspect ratio
Please advise how can I set the resolution to 1280 by 720 pixels as this resolution was more comfortable to me.
Regards
Ahmed

depends widely on what you are doing.
gaming, videos, etc. Then yes 5 hours is normal.
See footnote #4 on apple.com on the macbook Air page.

TS3989 I have set up my new iPad Air by restoring from the latest backup from my iPad2. However i can only see the photos from before Jan this year and none of the photoI have taken since then. I cn see the new photos on my iPhone ne old iPad, ny ideas?

Could anyone help with my question above please?

Were the missing photos in the camera roll on your iPad 2? The backup only includes camera roll photos.
If they were, but were not restored from the backup, if you still have the iPad 2, import the missing photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) then put them in a folder and sync them to your new iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. (The only downside of this approach is that the only way they can later be deleted from your iPad is to sync them off again using iTunes. To get them in your camera roll you would need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them from your computer to the camera roll on your new iPad using you wifi.)

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X.

HT4783 I have an early 2010 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?

As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
Thanks

So by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate.

Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

My Webcam is not recording correctly. When recording directly to youtube, the audio sounds like a robot. It was not doing that when I first got my new MacBook Air last month. What do I do to fix it?

My built-in Webcam is not recording correctly. When recording directly to youtube (upload), the audio sounds like a robot. It was not doing that when I first got my new MacBook Air last month. What do I do to fix it?
I have tested it over several days with different internet connections...and have done it with another notebook computer on the same connection and it the video uploaded and recorded fine. I can also use the video webcam with Google Hangouts and it records and works fine. So I know the problem is not internet connection...and apparantly not even the webcam or mic.

Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

If you're sure where your library is run this script iTunesXMLPath. The library folder is the folder that file is in. Your media folder is recorded under Edit > Preferences > Advanced and is usually a subfolder of the library folder.
I recommend you backup your library with the method in this user tip.

After the latest upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so I can listen to the book. The book shows up on my computer, but not on my iPod.

After the last upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so that I can listen to the book. It seems to be transferring but
doesn't show up on my iPod. How do I find the transferred files on my iPod Classic 60GB? Help! I've done this thousands of times before, and this is the 1st
time I've had a problem, so I'm suspecting the upgrade.

For non-purchased music like CD ripped songs, you need some third party software like sharepod, yamipod or iPod file manager to copy them from iPod back to computer. if you need details, here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

How do I access my bookmarks by file folder after the latest upgrade?

I accepted the latest upgrade and must undo. I cannot find bookmarks -- for example I have a file folder for knitting that contains bookmarked sites for yarn shops. The reason I have these bookmarked is so I don't have to remember the names. I can't get to other bookmarks because I don't remember the exact name of the bookmark. This is a mess! I was trying to get to a local site that I've been into over the past couple of years. Instead of taking me to that site I get a list of Google Search Results -- my local site is not even listed. This is a mess!

After paying for a new MacBook Air, I still have to purchase an external DVD Player? That *****!, After paying for a new MacBook Air, I still have to purchase an external DVD Player? That *****!

I am confused about the new MacBook Air. It would appear it does not have an internal DVD/CD drive as most computers do. Does this mean after the price of this Mac Air I still would have to purchase an external DVD/CD player to load software or play DVD's and CD's ??? That seems like technology is going backwards and the owners just want more money. If I am wrong, I applogize.
Thanks,
Debbie

Floppy drive? Who has floppy drives in this day and age. Does anyone sell software on that format? I don't think so. At least any software sold today.
I've had my MBA for nearly 6 months now and don't miss having a built-in DVD drive in the least. First of all, with only a 128GB drive, I'm not "porking" it up with a lot of junk.
The form factor of the MBA is beautiful and wouldn't be possible with a internal DVD drive. I wouldn't want one anyway. The only time I've use an external DVD USB drive was to install a few programs that I have on DVDs.
The MBA is about a very light weight computer for use mainly outside of the home. And this is where it excels. If you really want a DVD, get the Apple unit for $79 or a no-namer on ebay for around $25. Then use it and park it. You won't need it very often if ever after the first use or so.

I'm looking for a new Macbook Air but I'm not quite sure about the mini displayport connection?

How do I download the free iWorks apps for my new Macbook Air?

I purchased a new MacBook Air yesterday, which is supposed to come with free iWork and iLife, but I can't find them on here. If I go to the app store to download them individually (pages, numbers etc) it shows I can purchase... but not free.
How can I download the free version?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
See > https://uptodate.apple.com/choicepage
Just follow the steps of that website to get the iWork applications for free. If you want to see the Apple site, see > http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
