Decent printer mac air for college

Have child going off to college wants printer for dorm room. Most review of wireless printers are bad, anyone with good experience re small wireless printer danka

Frankly you would be better off advising them to simply use the printer(s) available on campus or going to Fedex/Kinko's or similar places. The cost of ink replacements is ridiculous and it's highly unlikely they actually need a printer.

Some one has blocked Safari on my Mac Air for 'security reasons'

Someone has blocked Safari on my Mac air " for security" temporarily the same message came up on my iPhone 6 Plus but is now gone. Need to remove the block from my computer

Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

New mac air for old mac air.

Hi. i bought a mac air last month and now i see that new mac air is coming out in the market. so can i exchange my mac air for new mac air?? what is apple exchange policy/?? help me please.

Hey Everyone,
So today I went to the Apple Store to return my late 2010 model MBA, that was purchased on July, 2nd 2011, to buy the new MBA. It was very easy, and everyone that was involved was very kind. All I had to do was bring my receipt & the original packaging and they took it without any questions being asked. I was also able to upgrade to the 13" model with 4GB memory and 128GB flash storage (for a fee). So to answer the original question, through my own experience you should be able to return & exchange your MBA to the newer model if it was purchased within 30 days, good luck!

What specs would make the perfect MacBook Air for college?

I've decided I'm going to get a MacBook Air for college, but I want to make sure it's the best possible for my four years as an undergraduate so I don't have to get a new one over this time period.
For the processor: how much of a speed difference will there be between the i5 and i7? I'm thinking the i7 will be a better choice, but I really don't know what the difference will be.
For RAM: 4gb should be plenty for four years, right? Right now I have a late 2008 aluminum MacBook with only 2gb of RAM and only recently did I notice it to start getting slow.
Storage: My biggest concern. Will 256gb last me four years? I will be bringing an external hard drive, but I plan on only really using that for Time Machine backups and storage for photos. Should I make the jump to 512gb?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The $100 upgrade from 4GB to 8GB (personally) I think is a total no brainer. RAM is one of those things that you can never have enough of and whatever decision you make at time of purchase is the one you're stuck with for the life of the machine. I can't tell you how many times I've had a user with the 2GB model from the previous generation complain of sluggish performance over a lack of available RAM. If it was hundreds of dollars I could see but it's not, especially when you factor in the cost of the machine. Over the course of three years the RAM upgrade translates into $2.78/month and you'd be "future proofing" yourself.
As with previous generations, Apple only lets you upgrade from 256GB to 512GB if you buy the higher end model. Which means you're looking at $1999 for the 13" model with 512GB (4GB of RAM) and $1899 for the 11" model (4GB of RAM). Absolutely not worth it, unless you absolutely have to have 300-400GB of data available locally.
I came into the conversation to clear up wrong information. If there's one thing I've learned in my time posting, more points doesn't mean good information. The OP, who's new, had a question about buying decisions and was given bad information. You've never corrected someone when they wrong? Doubt it...
Regrettably, because this an open discussion forum, we're all free to respond to whoever and whenever. It's very possible that the OP may not know the technical differences between the various CPUs and thus would base his purchasing decision on your false information. Imagine his surprise when he's told that his i7 CPU is a dual core and not a quad core.
Seeing you've asked (so eloquently I might add), I'm happy to provide information on the CPUs.
The i5 in the 13" MacBook Air is an i5-3337U, the i7 is an i7-3667U. Both machines when benchmarked against one another in a PassMark CPU test scored as followed:
i5 - 2,652
i7 - 2,841
A difference of 189 points. You're a numbers guy, Kappy. So if real estate property #1 is worth $2,652,000 and real estate property #2 is worth 2,841,000 how much more is that property worth? It's sure not 25%.
My apologies to the OP for the divergent of your topic, but I think it's important when a frequent poster who's opinion is highly regarded but (other) members on here to be corrected when bad information is provided. I know I would expect the same correction if I recommended something incorrectly.

I am 13 but going into high school next year and possibly an elite boarding school that is 9 hours away from my town. I need to get a mac air for school purposes.How can convince my parents to let me get one?

My house has always had macs and my parents don't like pcs. I don't either. They are slow and so far behind from macs. So i am going into high schoo next year and parents don't let me on the computer without asking and have them all password protected. I did have my own ibook g4 but it broke randomly. My mom says i will isolate myself from too much scree time and get depressed but i love macs and i would like to work in an apple store someday but i'm not even allowed to buy my own ipod touch with my own money. But my mom has an new imac, ipad and iphone and ipod and all of this has been gifts to her. But i really need a computer for school. I have written lists of good reasons not like i want it but good ones and asked nicely but my mom just says because and thats the only reason i need to know. and by the way she is a teacher so she thinks technogly is evil. How can i get the mac air??

I really do not want to enter a family discussion about what you should or should not have. If the MBA is to support your school work then you need to present your arguments on that point. If there is a concern about using a Mac when the school supports PCs then point out a Mac can also use Windows on a BootCamp partition so it is fully compatible with both systems.

Macbook Air for College?

I'm thinking about getting a MBA for college in the fall.
I do light/medium video/photo editing, a lot of multitasking, web surfing, etc. I like the idea of the AIr because it boots up so quickly and is much more convenient for work on the go. Has anyone experience noticable lag when video editing or photo editing with the MBA? Is there any reason for me to consider one of the Macbook Pros?

Even though I have a new iMac at work and a very good iMac at home, the 2011 MBA I got in December has become my workhorse and that includes using Photoshop CS 5 and iMovie. I briefly experimented with Final Cut and abandoned it, not because the computer couldn't handle it but because my project couldn't fit on the SSD and when I tried working from a USB drive I got some stuttering. This may not be an issue any longer with the new MBA having USB 3 ports (or if I were willing to remove a goodly bunch of media from my computer).

Problem printing MAC-PC for a multifunction printer Canon i-SENSYS MF4018

In my office, installed a network of Macbook 466 (Mac OS X 10.6.2) and PC (WinXP SP3). We bought a new multifunction printer Canon i-SENSYS MF4018(MF4010). By PC connected multifunctional printer MF4018 (model has only a USB port).
On the PC works well. My MAC is the printer on the network, but at the beginning of printing an error: Canon UFR II Printer Driver An error occurred.: -50. Driver downloaded on the official web-site Canon - CANONUFRIIV2.00 EN.dmg.
Please, help set up a complete operation of the printer in my office from the MAC.
How to make it possible to print from MAC without any errors?

Pahu and Eliask,
I just purchased a canon isense mf4018 for our office. We have a mac mini os x 1.5.8 and a pc windows xp sp3. we are experiencing a printing problem from the mini. we aren't using a network. we just swap the usb cable between computers when printing is needed. The error that occurs is 'load correct paper MP tray: ltr; cancel: sys. monitor.' This looks like it only happens when we print from Word for Mac when printing more than one copy of the document. Excel printed multiple copies fine. If i go to sys monitor and print status, I find the word doc option to cancel or continue print. I choose yes to cancel and it prints another copy of the doc. the error still exists. I go through that routine until all copies have been printed. Scanning doesn't work. I downloaded this driver http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0036890.asp?model=
Thanks for the help

11 or 13inch air for college?

I am going to college for engineering, most likely mechanical, at Duke. My question is should I get the 11inch macbook air (2.0Ghz i7, 8gb ram, and 256 SSD) or the 13inch macbook air with the same specs (I am leaning towards the 11 inch). The price difference is $50. I will have a desktop monitor (20-25 inches) and an external hard drive that I can connect the laptop to while in my dorm. I will be using it for Logic pro and maybe some light gamming. But I think its primary use will be note taking in class and writing papers (I don’t really know because I haven’t started yet). There are computer labs with top of the line iMacs that I can use for any hardware intensive programs like CAD. I will have to be able to use some windows programs, I can get windows xp free or windows 7 ultimate for $15 through Duke, is bootcamp the best solution or is a virtual machine better? (Secondary question not as important)
Recap:
Desktop monitor in dorm
External hard drive in dorm
Light gamming
Some logic Pro
Portability is important
Durability is important too (not sure if they differ in durability)
Some windows programs needed
Is screen size going to be a major issue?
Please excuse my grammar, I have no aspirations of becoming an English major.
I also apologize if this question has been asked elsewhere or if I am rambling.
By any chance can someone compare the strength and speed of this laptop to a 2008 iMac with a 3.06Ghz Intel core 2 duo and 4gb of 800Mhz DDR2 SDRAM? (If not it doesn't really matter)

Have you played on both? Which do you like better?
As others have said, the question really comes down to screen size (while away from that external monitor) and battery life. If you don't mind the smaller screen, and you can do with 5 hours (relatively speaking) compared to 7 hours battery (relatively spreaking) then don't be afraid to go with the 11". Not only is it incredibly light--which means less weighing you down as you haul that bookbag from class to class, not only is it incredibly small--which means it can fit on very small desktops in class rooms, and give you more room on a tabletop for your books and papers--but it that lightness/slimness also translates to being able to slip it in and out of bags faster; you save time packing and unpacking, and have more room in the bag for other things.
In the end, play on both and go with the one you fall in love with, as both can be configured similarly (do go for 8g RAM), and, thus, can be pretty much the same in performance. Which means what matters is which computer you are going to enjoy working on.
And do let us know which you pick. Either one is a great computer for college.

Macbook Pro or Macbook Air for college? (Science/Psych Major)

Hi, I'm a last year high school student that has had a Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2012 model) (2.5GHz Intel i5, 4GB) since the end of 2012. It's been getting kinda slow on me and I've been thinking of getting a newer Macbook at the end of the year for college next year.
I will definitely be majoring in a Science/Psychology sort of degree. It won't be a strongly mathematical, calculative degree that requires fancy software.
I'll most likely use it for:
- Taking notes in lectures
- Using Microsoft office programs
- Online research and doing homework
- Web browsing
- Social media (facebook, tumblr, pinterest etc.)
- Listening to music (Spotify)
- Skype occasionally
- Watching videos (Youtube, TV programs)
- Game i.e. League of Legends (maybe, I might just keep it on my MBP or abandon the game)
- iMovie / Final Cut Pro (maybe, if I keep editing simple videos that are around 3-8 minutes long)
I'm willing to have an external hard drive to hold any extra stuff.
Which laptop should I get? Macbook Pro did work efficiently with all of the uses above but it's gotten quite slow in terms of response time, loading, booting up etc. Should I get a Macbook Pro 13", Macbook Air 13" or maybe even the Macbook 12" (but that's a little less cost efficient). I'd like something light to carry and efficient.

If you're in any way serious about the video then the Pro.

Trade in Mac air for iPad air

will apple store accept trade in of Mac air 13 (mid-2011) for iPad air?

Only if you purchased the Air from an Apple store 14 days ago or less. Since you have a 2011 MBA, that is not going to be the case so you will have to sell the MBA.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro or MacBook Air for college

Hi guys!
So this is the typical college question from a mac lover, do I get the air or the pro? Currently my major is undeclared, but I'm looking into engineering. At the moment I don't do a lot of work with video and photography, but I am hoping to get more into that stuff although it wouldn't be like getting a major or a minor in it. More like just fiddling around. I usually watch a lot of DVDs and I have a fairly large music library. I'm hoping to just use netflix and get rid of some old music next year but chances are that won't happen.
Currently I have just the regular old MacBook circa 2010. I like it, although it is soooooo slow now like it literally takes 10 minutes to open up safari for the first time after shutting it down, not the mention the screen has started to go awry (which is all my fault, don't step on your macs because it does not end well). I justt need an upgrade for next year.
I like that the air is light and has a super good battery, however I don't know if I like how slow it is. I like the pro because its faster, comes in a 15" and is just all around more powerful, however I don't like the battery life quite so much and I don't know if the size would be the much of a big deal. If anyone wants to suggest the 11" air, I'm just bonn stop you right here because that is not happening.
I'm kinda leaning toward the air, but every time I go to purchase it something inside me asks if that what I really want.
Alright so what are everybody's thought! Thank you!

I recommend you a Macbook Pro (preferably maxed out in the specs). I'm studying Mechanical Engineering and so far it has worked marvels for me. The Macbook pro is a little heavier than the MBA, however i feel that what you should really look for is performance and not merely things like weight (specially if its so little difference). As for the battery, I don't know in your college, but in my we have ALL around the campus TONS of power outlets, so that shouldn't matter. So yeah.. between MacBook Pro and MacBook aire definitively Macbook Pro

My husband bought me a Mac Air for Christmas but registered it in his name. How can I change it to my name?

How can I change the ownership on the MacBook Air that my hubbie bought me for Christmas. It was registered at the shop in his name.

Auntydodo, if all you need to do is to create an account with your name, that's easy enough: use System Preferences, select Users & Groups, click the lock to authenticate, and you can create a new account with your name.
You can delete his account if you wish but there is no harm in leaving it there.
You might want to change the name of the computer, if he gave it a personalized name (like Mr. Auntydodo's MacBook Air) and you want to name it something else. That is accomplished with the Sharing preference.
If your husband created an Apple ID, for purchasing music and apps for example, you can either continue to use his or you can create a new one for yourself. That's another subject.
