Did my MacBook Air 10.7.5 come with a word-processing program?
I can't find one in the HD. The only thing I've been able to use for WP is TextEdit, which I don't like.
I tried downloading Microsoft Word 2004, but got an error message saying that PowerPC applications are no longer supported. (I assume there's no workaround for this.)
Thanks for your help.
Mac OS X comes with TextEdit, but it only works for basic processing. Instead, there are some apps you can use:
1. Microsoft Office 2011. This is the latest Office version for OS X, that you can get from the Microsoft page > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
2. Apple iWork. This is the Word's Apple version, and it works well for basic needs. You can purchase it at the Mac App Store.
3. LibreOffice. It's free and I recommend you to try this application first. See > http://www.libreoffice.org

I bought a used macbook air, it didn't come with the flash drive to do a factory reset. Can I download the info needed and save it to my own flash drive and then do a factory reset? If not what can I do?
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, click here, phone Apple, and order a replacement.
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart it with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

If you get a new 2013 macbook air does the laptop come with os x mountain lion?
I have a new 2013 MacBook Air and i was wondering if my laptop came with OS X Mountain Lion????
It should. To check click the Apple logo in the menu bar (top left) and select "About This Mac"
If the OS X version shows 10.8 then you have Mountain Lion.
If you don't have the Mac yet then the new one you buy will have Mountain Lion on it. -
Brand New MacBook Air 2012 Fan Always On with Only a Few Programs Open!
Got this awesome machine a few days ago. Everything is perfect except the fact that the fans are on 24/7! I have nearly no applications running and I've cheked the activity monitor and nearly everything is at 0% and the programs that aren't are around 5% (or less). I've got a protective case on the computer and I've taken it off and tested the situation out and without the cover the MacBook Air still runs the fans at full speed.
As I'm typing this, the fans are just blasting. I never new a computer fan could get so annoying!Oh snap. FahCore_a4 user: nobody CPU: nearly 400%!....what on earth is this. I did a Google search and it's suppose to relate to a Windows thing....

Did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?
did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?
Yours is the first computer I've heard about on these forums that is attempting to run Mavericks with only 2GB of RAM.
Indeed that is acceptable per the Mavericks requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
... but as you may know, Apple has not sold computers with as little as 2GB RAM for quite a while.
I suggest therefore you make sure you remove any applications that may be overtaxing your machine. Examples are browsers other than Safari, Mac cleaning products (such as Mac Keeper), or any other non-Apple app that has some startup process running (such as Outlook). -
I bought a MacBook Air and wish to communicate with old iMac G5 2003-5 (sorry can't remember the year). The screen on the iMac is blank and will not come on but the hard drive still works. Can anyone tell me the cable I need to with the iMac & how to do it. I have music and photos on the iMac I cannot access.
Also, do I need to special CD/DVD external drive/burner to import music CD's into iTunes? I have tried and it keeps coming up with formatting problems.
Many thanks. Jaxdwb
I have looked for what you said and come up with these 2 cables. Are these the correct ones I need?

I want to buy macbook air, could I customized it with 1TB flash memory?
No. The maximum configuraiton for a MacBook Air is a 512 GB SSD: $1700 with 8 GB of RAM. http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-air?product=MD761LL/A&step=config
However, a Retina MacBook Pro is almost the same as a MacBook Air and can be configured with a 1 TB SSD: $2,300 with 8 GB of RAM. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5965798?tstart=0 -
hello,i have a macbook air and i downloaded warblade(with utorrent)and when i try to open it opens in textedit.it shows a looooong text and signs.
It does sound like you downloaded the Windows version. OS X doesn't know what to do with file and just opens it up in Text. You can download the Mac version directly from C/NET - Download.com:

i dont have ilife on my macbook air, i tried installing it with the reinstall drive still its not happening what should i do?, i dont have ilife on my macbook air, i tried installing it with the reinstall drive still its not happening what should i do?
Hi,
use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/ to clone the OSX from your internal SSD to the external USB-connected one.
Boot OSX from the external harddisk and install what programs/apps you want.
No need to buy another OSX as Apple explicitly allows such usage.
I don't have a MBA so I can't comment on the USB-hub.

How to fix the constant noise in the left corner of the Macbook Air which is connected not with a fan?
Unfortunately if there are various colours across the screen then you have broken the LCD Screen and it will need replacing. If the colours change when you press the area lightly then this is another symptom that you've broken the screen.
Sorry to give the bad news! -
my start up disc is full i have a macbook air, i back everuthing up with time capsule and have movies all my music libraries and photos onto that too so as i have free space, but my max still says my startup disc is full with "other"
First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
