File Handling missing from Import on MacBook Air?

Hi. I have the latest version of Lightroom on my PC and also my MacBook Air. The PC one is fine. However on the MacBook Air there is a problem with the IMPORT function. File Handling isn't displayed so I can't do such things as smart previews, make a second copy etc. That whole section is totally missing. I am on the Cloud version and have the latest 5.6 installed. Should I reinstall it again or is there some setting I am missing? I have searched all the menus to no avail. Regards Carol

Hi. I put this post in while waiting for customer support. The problem has been solved. Control click with the mouse in the right side blank area of the import window but up the selections that are available. I selected File Handling and it has now appeared. I hope this information helps someone else. regards Carol

What do I need to transfer data from my old MacBook Air to a new MacBook Air

what do I need to transfer files and programs from my old MacBook Air using OSX Lion 10.7.5 to a new MacBook Air?

An external USB drive on which you can install a clone of your old computer's drive. You csn then connect it to your new computer and use Migration Assistant to migrate your data to the new computer. Or you can manually select which of your files you want and copy them to the new computer.

HT4889 When I transferred my data from a 128GB Macbook Air to 256GB Macbook Air (brand new version as of 9/1/13) I end up with 188GB used! I add up the size of Users, System, Library and Applications and it comes to 90GB. What am I missing?

I add up the size of Users, System, Library and Applications and it comes to 90GB. What am I missing? How did I "use" up so much space in migrating from one Mac to another?

Did you use the Setup Assistant available at the beginning of the new machine's setup process? Or did you use Migration Assistant later after you had set up the new machine?
If you used Migration Assistant, you generally wind up with two accounts (the new one you set up on the new machine plus the old one you ported over) - that may explain your excessive use of space. In that case, you can either manually combine/remove all unnecessary duplicate files, or you can start over by using Command + R, wiping your drive, and downloading the OS. Once it's downloaded, use the Setup Assistant offered at the beginning of the install/setup process.

Cannot read ibooks imported from iPad on macbook air

I can't read my ibooks imported from iPad on MacBook Air. Library is installed. how can I open the books for reading?

OOPS! I got it sorted out by installing from Brother CD (as distinct from download as tried previously). I hope I have not wasted anybody's time.

Hi I bought 2TB WD my passport for mac but I do not know what I can delete from the original macbook air. Thank you.

That depends on what you have on the MBA...if you have videos, move the videos to the external drive. If you have a lot of music, create a folder/library for the music and point iTunes there for the music. If you have a lot of photos for iPhoto, make a new library on the external drive and move our photos over there and then select that library as the default library for iPhoto to use.
Those are the big files and should take a lot of the load off the internal storage.

Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air

I Cant delete recurring event from iMac to Macbook Air.
I have an event scheduled for Wednesday each week, I delete it at end of day. If i delete it on my Macbook Air it deletes fine on my iMac just fine. But if i delete it on my iMac first it stays on my Macbook Air...
I check the preferences and both computers are configured the same way..
It use to work before i upgraded both computers to Yosemite...

Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.

I have a problem with transfering photos from iPad to MacBook Air, how do I go about doing that?

Photos from iPad to MacBook Air, I am currently trying to use my USB cord to transfer photos, but how?

You can only import photos in the camera roll, not synced photos. So I assume that you want to transfer the photos that you shot with the iPad camera. You can use iPhoto or Image Capture on the MBA.
Just connect the iPad to the Mac with the cable and launch either of those two apps. Your iPad should appear under the devices heading in the left sidebar of the app. Click on the iPad name just like you do when you sync with iTunes and the camera roll photos should appear in the window on the right.

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS. I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock. Thanks again for trying.

When I run multiple Microsoft powerpoint files at a time on my MacBook Air, it simply gets hotter and generates little noise (most probably fan noise). Will this make any effect on life span of MBAir??

When I run multiple Microsoft powerpoint files at a time on my MacBook Air, it simply gets hotter and generates little noise (most probably fan noise). Will this make any effect on life span of MBAir??

Theoretically, yes.
Heat, and heat cycling certainly do take a toll on even solid state components. I have several "very old" Macintosh computers, and the logic boards exhibit the effects.
The fan too, running at higher speeds, does eventually cause wear. More than anything, the higher airflow leads to a higher propensity for dust accumulation on the fan, and the heat exchangers.
In practical terms though, maybe not so much. If you plan on having your computer exhibit a reasonable useful life before you retire it or upgrade, you may never experience any of the detrimental effects. I rarely use a computer longer than 3 years, before I sell, give it away, or just stop using it.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. Your computer is well designed to give you a long life, even in the manner in which you describe. Take care of it, but use it for what you bought it for. Nothing you mention is in any way, abuse.

How to use Lightroom from iMac and Macbook Air so that I can edit any/all photos in my catalog?

I have lightroom catalog setup on my desktop (iMac). But, I would like to edit photos from my new MacBook Air when I have the free time. How do I set this up so that any edits done on my laptop sync with my desktop catalog?

Craig:
In the future you might look into an external FW hard drive from which you can operate the library. Then, if you need to move it to another machine just unplug the drive and and plug it in to the other Mac. For the MacBook Air you'd probably want a small (physical size) buss powered drive that would be an easy travel mate.
For future projects, particularly books, consider creating a separate library for it. You can assemble the photos you want in it in an album in your primary library and use iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album to the project library. They are often small enough that then can be copied to a flash drive for transfer to other Macs.

You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.
