Downloading newest software for macbook air not functioning/accepted

Downloading newest software seemed ok until restarted then :no system installed typed code on load up screen - says unable to find driver for this platform?as photo shows.
Any ideas please???

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

  • What is the preferred anti-virus/malware software for MacBook Air

    What is the preferred anti-virusmalware software for MacBook Air?

    None is required.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

    Bootcamp will allow you to install Windows on a Mac. Beyond that what else do you need?

  • MacBook Air not functioning properly

    Hi all, my MacBook Air (running on Lion OS X while downloading Mavericks, purchased in 2012) is not functioning properly. Over the summer I tend to not use my laptop a lot since I mainly use it for schoolwork. I had opened my Air for the first time in a while and it was fine - however after that I had left the screen open and the screen went dark. I had left my Air open for a few weeks and when I tried to turn it on, it would not do anything. It would not respond to anything I did and eventually had to restart my computer in SafeMode. I thought I had fixed my problems however a few applications were giving me trouble
    iPhoto would not open at all and after many failed attempts to debug my issues, I had to delete the application from my computer entirely. Eventually I tried to redownload it from the appstore but it wouldn't work so I gave up.
    Recently, I noticed that my Mail application will not open (even though the system preferences for it will). I also noticed that a few of my System Preferences will not open - Energy Saver, Desktop & Screen Saver, and Spotlight.
    I am currently downloading the newest update, Mavericks. I did download Mountain Lion, however when I rebooted my laptop over the summer in Safe Mode I must have reverted back to a back up that did not have Mountain Lion downloaded into my computer.
    I am at a loss of what to do.

    check my questions looks similar problem and I have solve it

  • MacBook AIR not functioning correctly

    HI everyone,
    I have a 2014 MacBook Air running Yosemite and it has been completely functional until Friday morning when it rebooted itself without any input from myself. I was on a webpage and the screen went white before going to the Apple logo and loading bar. It stays on 50% and does not move... Occasionally after powering it down I cab get to the log in screen but cannot actually log in (the beachball of death spins and spins)
    I have loaded it in Safe mode but cannot log in, have gone through Disk Utility (Cmd R) and checked the drives are functioning and I have reinstalled the OS. Just now i have done a PRAM check too... I am totally stuck now and if anyone has some advice then I am all ears.
    Thanks in advance,
    HQ78

    If you have reinstalled the OS and it still doesn't work, then I'm sorry to tell you it's likely a hardware problem, which needs checking at a Genius Bar in a local Apple Store or at a Certified Service Provider.
    Use this page to find one near you: https://locate.apple.com/country
    If you have none nearby, I suggest you get it sent to Apple to get repaired. To do so, contact Apple Support here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
    They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while.  If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

    Hi Guys,
    I have the sam problem just upgrading to iOs6.0.1. iTunes returns the following error:
    Ive tried updating via my device (New iPad) and same problem.
    I started downloading the update last week but stopped it for reasons I cannot remember. Now it seems that Ive clogged my system.
    My iTunes is up to date. I have however not run any Quicktime or iCloud updates cause i do not use the software. Will it make a difference.
    Also my Windows updates might be a bit outdated, say about a month or so.
    Please help, very frustrating!
    Also sorry but while Im here I have another question. A while ago the brightness level of my iPad adjusted by itself (not Auto Adjust). Its like it dimmed via Auto Adjust and did not "un-dim" and now Im forced to run brightness at 100% and consequently is hard on battery life. Any ideas?

    iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
    For error -50: See error 13 and 14: 
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
