Bought a MacBook air but it did not come with the updates

I bought a MacBook air today, and it did not come the software updates, everything on the dock looks really dated. Is this okay? I bought a different MacBook air earlier this week and it came with all the software updates, the one I purchased today is not updated whatsoever. Is this normal? Should I take it back and ask why it didn't have the updates? Or do I conitnue updating to it on my own?

It sounds as if you did not purchase your machine through an authorized Apple dealer. So I wonder, for example, if you actually purchased the very latest MacBook Air (2014 model) in a factory sealed box. I recommend you make your purchase from an authorized Apple dealer.

I bought photoshop from an Istore but it did not come with a product key or maybe I lost it unknowingly

Hi
I bought Adobe Photoshop from an Istore but lost the envelope with the Product key and am now unable to install
What can I do to get a new key??
Thanks

If you just purchased this then you should go back to the iStore to get a new copy since they are responsible for providing the package with the serial number intact. If this is an old purchase then you should check your Adobe account online to see if the serial number is available as a result of registering the product.

HT2404 Hello totally new to mac computer,i need to know is the mac G5 obsolete,i have a chance to get one at a cheap price but it does not come with the os,where would i get os and which one? Thanks for any feedback!

No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.
•Drivers and Downloads for Printers, Scanners, & More - HP Support:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html
A link to Mac OS X Support's List Printer & Scanner software (HP+ Other)
•OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
{According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
•HP Support Forum - Home:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?lang=en&cc=us
You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

I got the iPad 2 for Christmas 32gb and for some reason it did not come with the green messages app. Is there any way to get this on my iPad or am I out of luck?

Ipad2 came without messages app. Please help me in figuring out why! :)

What version of iOS have you get (Settings > General > About > Version) ? Messages was introduced with iOS 5, so if you aren't on that then you can update to it and you should get the Messages app.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTnnes and copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

I just bought my macbook air today and does it come with pages? and if so how do i access it ?

a nice step by step directions on how to find it would be nice because id like to figure this out before college starts?

Unless you specifically requested Pages at the time of purchase it will to be included. It is quite easy to obtain. Log into the Mac App store using your iTunes ID and search for Pages. Download and enjoy.

My RoboForm toolbar did not upload with the update. When I try to add it, nothing happens

Before I updated Firefox, I had a RoboForm toolbar in my browser. It is not there now and when I tried to "Add Toolbar", nothing happens.

Hi,
You may have to enable it via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' on the left and look for the entry and '''Enable''' and then add it via '''View''' ('''Alt''' + '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' or alternatively right-click on the '''+''' after the last tab. Please [http://www.roboform.com/support/faq/roboform-v7#faq_firefox see this.]

HT204266 My iPod Touch did not come with the App Store. How do I download it onto there so I can sync games?

Getting frustrated . There's supposed to be all these built in apps...but I don't have them on my iPod touch. How do I get the App store onto there?

See my response to your other post.

When I got the IOS 8.2 update it did not come with the apple watch app like it said it wouldo

I went to settings and clicked on the IOS 8.2 update and when it restarted the apple watch which on the update discription said would be there wasn't there

The Apple Watch app is only on the iPhone. You can't pair a watch with a iPad even though it was included in the update.
