Can't up date my mac book air

been trying to up date my mac book air like 5time but i can can any one help

Make sure which OS X is installed currently.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If your Mac is running v10.8.3 as your profile indicates, there's a workaround for updates.
Download and install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
Then restart your Mac.
The only way to verify that the update has been installed is to wait until your Mac restarts to the Desktop. Then check About This Mac.

Somewhere in the printer's documentation, presumably.
HP's model designations can be incomprehensible. Try this page:

I can't turn on my Mac Book Air after upgrade the Lion software. Please, can you help me?

I bought a Mac Book Air 3 month ago. I upgrade Lion software several hours ago. Later I reboot and I left to work. When I arrive, I can't turn on my MAC. Only light up the capital letter light, all the other parts are
dead o seem to be. Can you tell me what I have to do to solve the problem, please?

We can't, but Apple can, contact customer service, have your serial number ready and for a small fee Apple will send you a replacement.
If you're in a hurry, go to the Apple Store and purchase a copy of OSX ($29 in the US)

Do you have any unknown devices in Windows Device Manager? Are the BC drivers installed?

I am loss may data from mac book air

Hi
I have a MacBook Air
Which has two partitions
1) Mac
2) Boot Camp (Windows 7 32-bit)
I removed the boot camp got careless with Time Machine ,I deleted all data of Windows partitions ,they are very important,What can I do?
I loss may bootcamp partition, Please help me ,If you can guide me step by step, I would be grateful for your

TimeMachine doesn't back up the BootCamp partition. Just the Mac. If you made no backups of your Win7 partition with Win software (or WinClone, a Mac program), you are SOL.

Hi, I can't sync my Mac Book Air and iPhone5 calendars. I get a message from iTunes saying that the sync server failed to sync iPhone. Any explanations and/or solutions? Thanks.

What can I do to sync Mac Book Air and iPhone 5 calendars if the iTunes message says that 'the sync server failed to sync iPhone'?
Thanks,
Julian

Read the KB. Earlier today I had a fail to sync - I closed my Calendar app and the reopened and all was good.
Sometimes just closing the app the relaunching is all it takes. At other times a reboot of the Mac is all that is needed.

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.

I have a 2nd gen Mac book air with Lion. The hard disk has filled up even though i keep my data , music etc on hard drive . I used disk inspector to find where problem was and it is 20GB in the hidden files under the user directory can i resolve this ?

I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion . The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive . I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory . Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely. The data I actually keep on there is 9GB Thanks for any help

I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
I tried it out again.
I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
I watched to the end of the movie.
Then I quit Quicktime Player.
And I shut down the computer.
I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
I normally use vlc to watch movies.
Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc.
So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that.

Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air? I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
Cheers

MAC BOOK AIR Unusual Data Consumption by Mountain Lion OS

Hi,
I am using MAC Book Air and my OS is upgarded to Mountain Lion. After upgradation I am facing a problem of data consumption by my MAC all the time from my wifi modem, even without opening any brpwser or Mail. Kindly provide solution for this proble. Please note that all the settings in icloud is off.
Regards,
Desikachary

this never happened to Windows unless you have a virus , So is this normal for a Mac ?
It certainly can be. Free RAM is wasted RAM. Inactive RAM is as good as free RAM (it can and will be freed immediately when needed), but can be used to speed up your machine by holding cached data. As an example, suppose you quit Mail. Perhaps it was accidental (command-W is right next to command-Q), or perhaps you forgot to look at something you meant to look at, but in any event, you re-open Mail. It should pop back open very quickly, because everything is still cached in RAM.
So, in other words, don't worry about it. Even if you were having a problem, the source would be elsewhere.

My mac book air (mountain OS X ) mid 2011 consuming a lots of data .....

My mac book air consuming a lots of data per hour ... Even if am not browsing too it's automatically consuming ...how can I stop it ? It's losing like 1 GB per hour ...kindly help me to recover it ...I am new to mac book air ...thank u

I think you mean that it's using network bandwidth.
Any client on a wireless network, including clients you don't know about, could be consuming bandwidth. Networks must be protected with WPA2 security. If yours isn't, change the security setting on the access point. If it's already set that way, change the password. Make it a string of at least 8 random characters, including digits and upper- and lower-case letters. The password is saved in the keychain and you don't have to be able remember it; in fact, you shouldn't be able to remember it.
You make these changes in AirPort Utility, if the access point is an Apple device, or in a web browser otherwise.
If the network or the password was insecure, and bandwidth use returns to normal after securing it, you can be pretty sure the problem was caused by intruders.
But intrusion may not be the issue. Most often BitTorrent, iCloud or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
Otherwise, there's no easy way to monitor network usage per process using built-in tools. If you're an advanced user and you want to try, see the manual page for the nettop(1) shell command. It may or may not provide the information you're looking for.
The third-party products Rubbernet and Little Snitch are supposed to record network usage by processes. I can't vouch for them. Both were available as free trials, the last time I checked. I suggest you uninstall either one when the question has been answered.

I recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive

i recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive.. is this possible and for how much? its only a week old.

Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
however those are the stipulations.
RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
SSD are very expensive, even a small one, HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons.

My new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

my new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.
