anyone had keyboard white letters on mac book air go blotchy and clouded and in first year

reality check,.....
I never mentioned it being covered by Apple or by Apple care.   I know such wear is owner abrasion..... however such cases are usually not abrasion rather acid skin wear,....either way though it's not a defect rather usage marks. Also very possible due to rough skin on fingertips.
As to dominic and B being wrong that it will "be fixed".. you yourself do not know that and the OP should contact Apple, given the cost of keys are next to nill and Apple cust. service is #1, nobody knows the exact answer to 'covered or not'
*you are however correct on the letter glyphs.,,  the keys are inverse over opaque.  however its not painted rather a screening coat.
I'm so used to seeing 100,000+ keyboards over the years that are black plastic with white silk screening. As such, the silk screen comment was my error and I actually knew better, ..
~~Regardless of these facts, ...cursing did not validate your point one iota.  
correcting a minor error by cursing in a family board is beneath you and shows poorly upon the decorum you are intended to present.
Peace

  • Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

    Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302

  • I recently bought a mac book air (mid 2013) and the power adapter that came with it does not fit into the port.

    The port has a small silver knob next to the pins that is preventing the adapter from connecting. I've never seen a port that looks like this and the tech specs say that the port should be a magsafe 2.  Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've included a picture

  • What is the best configuration with Mac Book air, time capsule and external hard drive?

    Hi, I just bought a MacBook Air with the new Time Capsule and I was wondering what is the best set up:
    Option 1: use the time capsule as my main drive and back it up onto an external drive plugged at the back of it
    or Option 2: use the external drive as the main drive and use the time capsule as the back up? in that case, would the ext drive need to be plugged to the MacBook Air?
    Many thanks

    Option 2 is far superior.. and actually the only one that works.
    That is without killing yourself or having continual issues accessing your files.
    You do need to plug the external disk into the MBA.

  • Moving referenced masters to iMac from mac book air

    I have searched different forums and posts, and still cannot find the most appropriate way to accomplish what I am trying to do.
    I currently have my aperture library on my mac book air with masters and all revisions as referenced files located on external HD. I recently purchased the new iMac with enough storage to keep my masters on the internal HD. I was able to copy my library from MB Air to iMac, and now facing a dilemma what is the best way to move my masters with all revisions to the internal drive on my iMac, and the second question, would it be possible later on to keep them on two places, one as referenced to my MBA on external HD, and the second set on my internal HD on iMac as managed.
    I would love to take my MBA on a trip as I always do, import my pictures to it's library, and then when I come home - move them to iMac. I think that part could be easily accomplished by exporting the project and re-imiporting it to another computer, and that should update the library????
    Does anyone have the same set up, and managed to accomplish what I need.
    I am going to throw another wrinkle that might help someone to explain to me if it is reasonable solution.
    I could probably archived the current library from MBA and start the new library, maybe it is going to be easier and make Aperture (iPhoto) DB to work a bit faster? But how to move the library along with originals (or maybe it is just a matter of moving the library to the external HD, and done deal), and that the reference iis not going to be broken?
    I hope I did not confuse anyone.

    Just connect the HD with the referenced originals on it to the iMac and run Aperture with the library you copied over from the Air. Given how OS X and Aperture keeps track of disks there is a good chance that the library will connect to the referenced originals on the HD.  If it does not you will need to reconnect them to the library. Use File->Locate Referenced Files.
    Once the originals are connected to the library run File->Consolidate Originals. This will copy the original from the HD and put them into the Aperture library. All aspects of the library will be preserved.
    Keeping two libraries on separate system is honestly not one of Apertures strong points. There is no easy built in way to accomplish this. There are workflows that folks have come up with but none are really seamless.  I'd get the library running in the iMac and once that is done you can look into running parallel libraries.

  • My mac book air is not showing internal speakers in the drop down

    I had attached speakers to my mac book air. Now after disconnecting them my note book isn't detecting its own in built speakers. When I switch it on the sound comes through the speakers but after that you can only listen to stuff via head phones.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    Go step by step and test.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

  • HT4399 I have a Mac Book Air and have purchased individually numbers and pages.  I was given an excel file on a thumb drive and cannot open it.  Is there a way to open the xcl file in numbers?

    I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages.  I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file.  The message states that the Excel file is encryeted.  Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
    Pat and Bob

    Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats?  The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
    If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.
