How do I load windows 7 on a Mac Air using the super drive?

You use Boot Camp to partition the SSD in the Air, download the Win 7 Support files from Apple (part of the boot camp process), save them to a USB thumb drive, have the USB superdrive connect to the Air with the Win 7 install DVD in the drive. Once partitioned the system will reboot and start the Win 7 install.

Even when I charge my Mac Pro to the full bar, the battery seems to be drained even when I am not using it. Example, after charging it full, i switched it on the next day and its 79% battery left. Is there something wrong? help please

Assuming you are disconnecting from line power, when you say switched on, do you mean it was shutdown or in sleep mode? If sleep mode the battery will still drain because sleep still keeps some things active and the battery does drain a little. However, to go from 100% to 79% charge overnight is a bit excessive in sleep mode. Unless you have some processes set to activate over night by the cron file and do things like backup the system.
What are the statistics on the battery, the apple in the upper left corner, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power...things like battery Condition, Capacity, remaining charge, voltage, current.

I have a new mac air, updated the software, have downloaded Pages & Numbers but cannot read .wps documents received from friends.... wps docs are from Microsoft Works word processor.

I have a new Mac Air, updated the software, downloaded Pages & Numbers but cannot open .wps documents from friends. .wps is the format used by Microsoft Works word processor. Can anyone open .wps on Lion?

Only MsWorks opens .wps on the PC, what chance has Mac OSX got?

Charging an iPad Air in the US via a plug adapter

Hello everyone,
I have a question about charging my European-bought iPad Air in the US.
I am using the original iPad Cable and a socket adapter from SKROOS to charge my iPad and I've noticed that it takes much longer to charge the device compared to Europe. To illustrate I left it completely discharge and then plugged it in in airplane mode and after 4 hours the battery is only 50% full. I do not have another cable to try charging it with, but I've tried two different sockets (at home and at work) and in both cases it takes longer than usual. Hence, I was wondering if taking longer to charge is normal given that I'm using a socket adapter.
Any advice on how to improve the battery charging? Would it be OK if I bought a US charger from Apple? From what I understand my EU-device should hadle the voltage?!
Great many thanks!
Robert

All Apple chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. All you will need is a plug adapter for the country you are in.
See the various plug configurations for different countries at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4341
Using US power vs European power shouldn't make a difference.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

How do I transfer photoshop files on my mac air to the larger mac pro?

How do I transfer Photoshop files from my Macbook air to the larger Mac Pro?

There are a number of ways, but the simplest is by USB thumb drive of sufficient capacity. The more elegant if both machines are on the same network is by switching file sharing on on the Mac Pro, and then logging into it from the Air. The Mac Pro drive will appear on the Air's desktop and allow you to simply drag the files over.
For sharing, you will need an account on the Mac Pro, or the ID and password of an account already on the machine.
File sharing basics are outlines in the support document at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I'm trying to uninstall Citrix receiver from my MAC Air but the program won't close. Any ideas?

I have a MAC Air running MAC OS 10.7.3. After downloading Citrix server, I have uninstalled the program but the icon remains in the dock and I can't quit the Citrix receiver on my desktop (it appears to be trying to find a webpage for its server). Trying to reach Citrix for a solution has been unsuccessful. Has anyone else had problem uninstalling this program?

Never mind. I was able to find the solution via an earlier post from West. Thank you!

Charging my blue tooth with the car charger?

I have a blue tooth that I keep in the car and I also bought a car charger.
Unfortunately, I can't recharge my bluetooth in the car.
Does anyone know of an attachment that will make it possible for me charge it.
Thanks
Maggie

Since the BT headset comes with the dual charge cable, try this:

Its a USB cigarette lighter adapter. Just plug your dual cable into it and you're go to go.
BTW, it is compatible with the iPhone so it meets the correct power standards.

Hi, I accidentally spilled water on my Mac Air on the very right side of the keyboard. After a few minutes, the screen turned white and a gray folder with a question mark came up and kept flashing. THEN IT DIED HELP.

After the screen turned white and the folder popped up, it just kept flashing. After a few minutes the screen just turned white completely and I could hear the noise of the drive. It just sat there still with the noise for a good few hours until the battery died and then my mac just shut down completely. I tried to see if the computer could charge, and it does charge. I just can not turn the computer on no matter what. It is dead. It might be the logic board or the drive...I'm hoping it won't cost me a new computer because I just got this 5 months ago....

Do not attempt to charge as that will only make the damage worse. You need to take the MacBook Air to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check and see what repair work is necessary. It only takes a very small amount of liquid to cause short circuits and damage.

Car charger, cant seem to charge my iPhone 6 in the car with third party chargers, they work other places and with other devices but not in car. Did I inadvertantly change a setting somewhere to deactivate the car charging?a

CAr charging?

That would be because the charger isn't putting out enough power to charge your Phone while in use. Not all car chargers are created equal in terms of output. After doing some research, I found there are some you can buy, but this one seems to be about the best option. It's $15 and you can get it on Amazon.
