Forgot user name on mac air 2010, can you help.
Hi everyone,
I recently changed my account settings but when i restarted the macbook air 2010 i forgot the user name, i left password blank but the yin & yang symbol must have been a default, because as the mac shut down the user name came up as whatever name goes with the symbol for yin & yang allocated by the macbook in system preferences users & groups. I cannot open my mac until i know the name of the symbol so i am desperate for help, please will someone look on there 2010 macbook air for this symbol & tell me what name comes up in the user name bar.
Thank you all for looking and have a very merry christmas. Cheers.
Thanks Luke. I tried that but it doesn't seem to work on Mac
Anyway, I found another solution (I retrieve the name typed earlier
in te application and saved in a text field). On PC, I use
BuddyApi. baUserName and even baComputerName (or something like
that) to find the computer name of the user.

thank you! KDid you use TimeMachine to restore your files?
Did you install the app or restore?
Makes a lot of difference to specify just how you swapped out and what you did.
Are you running Mountain Lion or older?
And you realize this is not forum of notebook users...

I forgot my password from Apple ID. Can you help me?
I forgot my password from Apple ID
You should be able to reset your iTunes account password by answering your security questions on that page. If you can't remember them, and you can't remember your password for your email account (you can't get that reset by contacting your email provider ?) to access the reset email, then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the password reset (they can also reset your security questions).
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -

Can you help me return a MacBook Air that I found to the owner?
I found someone's Mac Book Air. Can you help me determine the owner so that it can be reunited?
Hi Detective Colombo,
You need to contact your local brothers in blue - hopefully it was reported to them and they can reunite it with the owner.
You can also contact Apple Support, and provide them with the serial number to see if the owner reported it to them, but that is not always successful.
Good citizen, detective! We salute you!

I want to install a printer hp laser pro cp1525nw on my macbook air with mountain lion 10.8.2 . I download the drivers from the apple site and install them . I resart the macbook . I just can not add a new printer . the computer dos not start a research
Can you help me?hi . I had the simalar problems of my HP b209a-m printer not being seen on my wireless network> I could not add the printer and could not get the printer to join my network, I found this post at HP discussion and it worked!
Each printer has different options/settings but it seems like the general idea should work ok if you can reset printer back to factory settings and find Printer IP Adress.
This is for HP printers
1. On the printer navigate to the Wireless or Network menu.
2. Select Restore Defaults.
3. On your computer look for a wireless network named 'hpsetup' and connect to it.
4. Print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to see its IP address. (on my b209a-m Printer the IP info was found by pressing the Wireless Icon)
5. Type the IP address into the address bar of a web browser to see the printer's internal settings.
6. Click on the Network tab and look for the Wireless Setup Wizard and run it.
7. The Passphrase is the password you use on your wireless connection.
8. Now change the network name on your computer back to your wireless network.
The printer will now be connected to your network. With your the computer backyour wireless network network, you can re-add the printer from System Preferences.
Hope this works--- it did for me.

Since the release of Mavericks, syncing contacts with a Mac using iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is to use iCloud. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner. Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down. Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.
This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake. -

If i want to buy mac air online can i get it in arabic keyboard ?
if i want to buy the new mac air online can i get it in arabic keyboard ?
In the United States, no.
These are your choices...
However, in other countries, possibly.
But I have found that in most countries in the Middle East, there is no online Apple Store, per se. Apple uses distribution, and it is up to the re-seller as to whether they support online ordering.
If you are in the United States, you might want to try an Apple Store location to see how you might special order for your requirements.

Need a full backup cloud storage recommendation.
iCloud advertises upgrades to the 25GB basic storage but that doesn't seem nearly enought for an offsite full data backup. I've got over 30K photos in iPhoto alone. Can anyone make a cloud backup recommendation for about 150GB of data?
