Been trying to use an external memory card reader with my macbook air… connecting via usb port, air does not recognize device nor the microSD card from my gopro … help

Some external ones do not work with the Mac's although most do. There are some driver compadibility issues with Mavericks, so I would wait for an update.

I have Photoshop elements 10 and have been trying to copy albums onto a flash drive to show slide show on my TV. 10 does not have a flash drive connection, so I am trying to put it on my harddrive. When I hit the export to harddrive or anything else, I get a message saying it is trying to locate and reconnect missing photos, goes into a search mode and displays the identifiers of the located images. When I try to follow the directions for reconnecting I get nowhere. Can you help?

Wrong forum; we don't do Elements here.
You want: Photoshop Elements

Hi I'm a total novice, as you will see. But Iam trying to use template of an employee schedule but when I try to add extra columns it does not add the preset formula with it, so it works out total hours and total pay?   If any one can help please.

Hi Grum,
If the formulas aren't filling to the new column, you must have changed something in the template since you first opened it. Numbers is rather fussy about filling row content in columns as they are added. Only rows with the same expression in every Body Column will fill when a column is added. Just as an experiment, start a new Employee Schedule document from the Template Chooser and then add a column by clicking the Add Column handle in the upper right corner of the table. If that works, as it should, then think about what might have changed in your working document to disconnect that feature. Maybe we can figure it out together.

My MacBook Air does not have an optical drive. I have a program (Megastar V) which is installed using a CD. Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC laptop to install this program on my MacBook Air?

MacBook Air does not have an optical drive. There is a program I wish to install on my Air which is an astronomy application called Megastar V. Installation requires the use of a CD. Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC (toshiba laptop using Windows 7) to install this program onto my Air?
With gratitude,
Otto

Thank you for explaining to me how to do this. I will try it tomorrow and let all of you know how it goes.

How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
Thanks

You can't do it via USB. Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app. It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.

External hard drives compatible with 2008 macbook air

Does anyone have advice on the best external hard drives currently available for the 2008 MacBook Air?

While most any external drive may work, the Toshiba Canvio USB 3.0 drives have generated quite a few threads on this board with people having problems in getting them to mount. While some cludgy work-arounds have been useful to some, I think the best one is just to avoid the drives until Toshiba works out the compatibility problems.

How do I make an NTFS external hard drive compatible with my Macbook Air?

I have bought an external hard drive with NTFS. How do I transfer files to this drive from my Macbook Air, and write files on it? I also would like to use the hard drive for a pc as well so any suggested solutions that allows me to use across my mac and a pc would be greatly appreciated.

Never seen the term exFAT in a post previously - is that an enhanced version of FAT32?
Yes it is. Here's an abstract from this Microsoft KB page
The exFAT file system is the successor to FAT32 in the FAT family of file systems. The exFAT file system is a new file system format that addresses the growing needs of mobile personal storage on different operating systems. The exFAT file system handles large files, such as those that are used for media storage, and it enables seamless interoperability between desktop computers and devices, such as portable media devices. Because of this functionality, you can easily copy files between the desktop and external devices or between the desktop and other operating systems.

Use of 802.11 ac wifi with my MacBook Air from end of 2010

Is it possible to upgrade my MacBook Air (from end of 2010) with an adapter for 802.11 ac? I want to use it with a new AirPort Time Capsule.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your AirPort card does not allow you to use 802.11ac. However, you can buy a Wi-Fi adapter that supports 802.11ac, so you can connect to your new AirPort Time Capsule through 802.11ac.
Note that this is not necessary, and that most users will not note any difference between 802.11ac and 802.11n, which is the connection that your Mac will use to connect to your AirPort Time Capsule through the internal AirPort. Also, note that you will need a driver for the Wi-Fi adapter

IMac does not see my external HD...but my MacBook Air does

I have a Toshiba 1TB HD that I partitioned into iMac and PC. I run my backup on it with no problems. Then I got a Time Capsule and set it up. Now my iMac does not see my HD any more. But my Mac Book Air picks it up. You can see the 2 partitions on the MBA. I also cant see it in my Disk Utilities and "Mount" is not clickable. I tried to use different USB ports as well as different USB cables.

What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device...
If the issue persists, try these steps:
   1. Shut down the computer.
   2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
   3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
   4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
   5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.

What do I do if my new macbook air does not accept my password even if I've tried more than a few times?

Hi there,
Just bougiht a new macbook air and the start up screen is not accepting my password even though I have typed it in a few times and correctly. I have already used this mac previously for 2 days and have added microsoft office today but this is the first time I have logged in since the installation.
I don't understand why the password isn't being accepted. Could it be the installation? Or do I need to reset my macbook air?
Just a note, I'm not proficient using a Mac.This is my first macbook.
Many thanks for the help.
Tony

You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.

I trying to backup movies that I have purchase from Iturnes onto a cd and my Macbook pro does not recognize any of the CD or DVDs that I tried, nothing seems to work can I back up to a external hard drive?

I am trying to backup the movies and TV show that I purchase from Itunes onto a cd or DVD, and nothing seems to work. I tried using CD-R, CD+R, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW and they all failed. Is it possible to back up to an external hard drive instead of a CD?
Tyler

I know this isn't a complete answer because I am not sure why or if your backups to CD/DVD are not working, but one thing I do know is yes you indeed can backup any of your iTunes Media (music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc.) to an external hard drive. In fact, it's recommended that you do this anyway (in case of a hard drive crash, computer being stolen, etc.)
You can manually back up your movies by finding them in your iTunes Media folder, or since you have a Mac you can just use Time Machine, which will automatically back up either your entire computer (or only certain folders and items if you want). It's pretty handy. I use a 1TB external and Time Machine to keep everything backed up including my iTunes

HT3625 My Macbook Air does not have this "Use audio for:" option, as it has been excluded from Airs for whatever reason. How do I change my audio output to input without this?

If I have to buy an audio-usb converter let me know.
Although if this is an option exclusive to Pros and I do, then this is a little ridiculous Mr. Ghost of Steve Jobs.
Especially considering how Airs don't have their own section here on the forums
Thank you for whoever responds! All the idiot "how to" links on Google have me a little frustrated

Nevermind, posted this in Air section
It didn't give me that option initially.
