Apple tv not recognising home sharing with mac book air

Apple TV has worked fine in the past but now it is saying I need to turn on home sharing to find my computer. Home sharing is turned on my MacBook Air - nothing has changed since it last worked. I turned Apple Tv on and off again and tunrned home sharing on and off but still no go. Any advice appreciated.

Hi there Keryn62,
It sounds like you haven't changed anything, but you are unable to use Home Sharing between your Apple TV and your computer, even though you have verified that they are both signed into the same Apple ID. I would use the rest of the troubleshooting in the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Home Sharing one Mac Book Air Will Not allow Music to Transfer to the MAC

First here's what we have
2 users, (2) iPhones and Mac Book Pro and Mac Book Air and a Windows PC
All computers are set to manually manage music.
I have home sharing set on all 3 computers. When l log into either the Macs or the PC I can drag music I want between either computer with no problems. All computers are authorized. When my wife logs into her account on her Mac Air she cannot move any music from the shared computers. We have separate iTunes accounts. Anyone have any idea, why when using her user account she cannot drag the music files over to her Mac Air

for home sharing to work, iTunes must be authorized to the same user account.

Hello Kian,
This may sound silly but if you put your hand over the isight camera, do the lights change on the keyboard?

Can I link rapoo e6500 bluetooth key with mac book air

I have bought the bluetooeth key board rapoo e6500 and can not link with my Mac book air? How do I solve this problem?

You may not be able to pair a third party (non Apple) keyboard. Most likely incompatible with your Mac.

What is the necessity of the AC power cord (with Mac Book Air)? When should it be used with the power adapter?

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.

Configure airport express with mac book air

I am trying to configure airport express with a Mac Book Air, without success; the program is installed, but then, nothing appears to configure Airpor Express...
Can I get any help? Thank you
António

Hello!
I´m sorry it took so long to reply, but I´m new to these blogs; and I´ve been travelling a lot... Anyway, I was able to configure Airport Express, but I was told I could use it to expand my wireless network inside my house; which I found it´s not possible.
So, I´m returning my Airport Express to the store tomorrow and try to figure out a way to extend my wireless in any other way.
Any sugestion? Big houses are a problem...
Best regards, and once again thank you!

Battery issues with MAC Book Air (late 2010)

Since I updated my MAC Book Air (late 2010) to the latest OS X 10.6.8. the battery is empty after 2.5 hours. Before it worked for approx. 6 hours. Whats your experience?

I have been having the same issues as well. I downloaded Coconut battery to see the status of my battery, but it just clocks down very quickly still. I have disabled flash on Safari as well, and still I am charging my machine 2-3 times a day during the day.

Auto Restart Issue with Mac Book AIR

Have been using a Macbook PRO for sometime, no problem with Parallel installed. Due to frequent traveling, light and compact is my priority now, so I bought another AIR (11" i7 chip w/ Parallel installed as well). It was working flawlessly for few weeks, used it to download a couple of updates when I was in China (approx. 4Mbit/sec line speed) still no issues. UNTIL when I get back to my office and using WIFI updated another few stuffs, the AIR started to behave strangely with "your computer needs to restart due to problem ..." the last few days it happened at least 10 times daily, so I did what I know with the usual Mac way, reset PRAM, repair permissions blah blah blah ..problems persists so I called the service centre and the technician I talked to suggested the issue could be from 'your moderate internet speed causing incomplete system updated files.' ; half convinced but I followed / reinstalled ...with no CD, it has to press option to select to reinstall -- only then I realized a big problem, originally it states requires 27 hours to reinstall a fresh LION in my AIR but finally it completed and restated in still about MASSIVE 7-1/2 hours time.
As I have bought a USB network connector now (a convenient gadget when stays at hotels with different levels of facilities offered), this is not so troublesome and I think fellow users should consider using network and avoid using WIFI for this purpose. I notice once the left USB once was used (without turning off the WIFI) it keeps breaking the connections, as I read some articles from this forum the left USB could has some stability issues. After all the time spent, the computer freezes at times and auto restarts again. What the heck has this causes the AIR to behave this way ?
NEXT, I also read on the Power issues, I bought it without realizing one of the technical highlight is on high performance battery management but you can chop my head off and sit on mine if the AIR can last 3 hours (probably the suggested time is with computer power on but without using it at all). I don't want to sound un-nice as I have been using Mac for many many years: 1) if AIR is entirely basing on internet (VERY HIGH SPEED) for support is not a really very friendly method for users if there is reliability issues via internet line support, says what if we are caught in remote area with 30k/sec line speed then we are totally dead ... ; 2) the recent scare makes me dare not using the software updates now, as technician suggested, write down what is required to update, find it from apple and do it manually ...Goohs, my Mac Book Pro using side by side doesn't has this issue. Since when was the last time I have to suffer maintaining a Mac myself ? ... @%#&@*!(!
Anyone has clue to these or simply return to service centre to handle for me ?
Thanks in advance (first time user in this community).

Brand new superdrive not working w brand new Mac Book Air

Hi, just came home from Apple Store today with new computer and superdrive, which is not showing up when plugged in. When I put a CD in it reads it for a few seconds then spits it out. I am on the road so getting to an Apple Store will not be easy for the next week. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A number of users have had this issue because the superdrive was upside down. They were basically putting the CD in "upside down". Silver side up.
I Apologize in advance, just thought I'd throw it out there...

Problem with Mac Book Air OS X 10.8.5 - camera fail.. skype

Hi to the all the community !
As i already saw a few articles, it seems that due to the latest upgrade "OS X 10.8.5" , the camera of our MacBook Air can't be found.. which is kind of a big problem when you're using you Mac to STAY connected to your family and friends (around the world).. I'm really sad of this situation ..
I wanted to know when they are going to give us a new upgrade, in order to fix that sad issue.
I'm really looking forward to it ...
Does anybody has some more information on this subject ?
Thanks to all !!

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

Purchased apps do not show up on my mac book air?

How do I sync my purchased apps to my new macbook air? They do not show up in the app store under purchases. I do see all of them in my itues account, but do not know how to sync them to my macbook?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
From what you say, you probably got those purchased apps from the iTunes App Store.
Those apps can only be used in iPhones, iPads and iPods touch, and the only thing you can do on a Mac is to store them, not run them. Anyway, if you want to download them, you need to open iTunes and redownload them > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

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.
