  • Usb 3.0 not working on Windows 7 (MacBook Air late 2011)

    Hello everybody.
    I've been running Windows 7 perfectly on my late 2011 11-inch mackbook air (runs even smoother than Mavericks, seems that Apple forgot about macbook air users when releasing that update, and doesn't even let me downgrade without buying the previous OS X ¬¬)
    Ranting apart I've been having the following problem: my Toshiba external 3.0 usb HD drive works perfectly on OS X (always did and still does) but i can't make it work on Win 7. When I plug the usb connector, it appears as it recognized an external hdd, but it isn't able to get the drivers or recognize the drive properly. So it just doesn't work, I can't access it. I've been searching for usb 3.0 drivers for boot camp or win 7 and haven't been successful with what i've found.
    Anybody had this problem?
    Anybody got to fix it?
    I'm really annoyed that i can't use my external hdd.
    Thanks for reading!

    maybe it's because your ext hd is in mac os filesystem which windows cant read?

  • Forgot administrator name on macbook air

    Forgot my administrator name on macbook air.  Macbook had all software installed (i.e. did not come with installation disk).  How can I find out the administrator name I used?  I know the administrator password since I always use the same one but forgot the administrator name I used.  Any solutions are welcome.

    It's the foldername you find under your account folder in the /Users/ folder at the top level of the disk.

  • Forgot my login password for macbook air

    totally forgot my password to login to my macbook air
    Anyone have help?

    Now, the fun part if neither of those is the case.
    You can also restart the system holding down the Command and R keys, and then from the utilities that open choose Terminal.
    In the Terminal window type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press return.
    In the Reset Password window, choose the user for which you wan to change the password.
    Type the new password twice, then do not set a hint, and click Save.
    Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window Apply.
    Then click the apple at the left side of the menu bar and Restart.

    I want to be available on messenger for MacBook Air but I have forgot my password. What should I do?

    Nothing you can do.  This is the anti-theft protection on the iPhone.  You cannot restore that phone if you don't know the AppleID and password used to set it up.  No way arounds this.

  • HT1338 I failed to re-install Mac OSX after I removed it while removing my personal info. I forgot my Apple ID & password at the time. I have now recovered them with my windows type spare computer. How can I reinstall OSX on my MacBook Air?

    I failed to re-install the OSX on my MacBook Air after erasing my personal information in preparation to sell the computer. Reason: I forgot my Apple ID and password. I have recovered my ID and password on my wondows computer. There is no software on my MacBook Air right now. How do I re-install OSX?

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This will install the OS originally installed on your computer. If you plan to sell or give away the computer, then do not upgrade it or the purchaser will not be able to use it.
