additionally I bought the Air in US and currently I'm in India... I didnt check it when i was in US as i didnt have time and was flying the next day when i purchased it...
Pls help

Based on our conversation you seem to be new to the Mac, am I right?
If yes, that is okay. I will provide you with more detailed instructions.
Open a Finder window. On the left side of the window, there are lists on folders. One of them is the applications folder. You can also access the applications folder by pressing Shift+Command+A when you are in Finder.
This folder contains ALL applications that is installed on your computer. Your Dock only shows shortcuts, SOME of the applications in the Applications folder. The Dock is designed for easy access so users don't have to go to the Applications folder every time to launch an app.
If you want to use, say iMovie, you can drag the iMovie app icon from the Applications folder to the Dock for future easy access.
I hope this helps.
As for contacting Apple, I provided you with a URL link in my previous post.

  • Why my new Mac book Pro retina...didn't come with the built-in apps of iphoto, imovie and GarageBang?

    Hi everyone...the same question.
    I just bought a new Mac Book Pro with retina screen. But I found that it didn't have the built-in Apps of
    - iphoto
    - iMovie
    - GarageBand
    How can I get them back?
    Thanks

    Then some things may be hidden, or perhaps you did not use the same Apple_ID in the store as you used on your computer. Or maybe Apple is slow about updating your App Store Account.

    EDIT: Could they be on your computer in the Applications folder, but just not shown on the Dock? That can be fixed easily as well.

  • MacBook Air has built in apps but can you reinstall without paying?

    MacBook Air has built in apps but unable to reinstall without paying. How to reinstall deleted apps?

    I agree.  I received a macbook air late 2010 for Christmas.  It says it come with iLife however none of the apps were installed and it says it's $4.99 for garage band.  How can I get back what the computer originally came with?

  • I have first gen I pad and using king app like candy crush and all of a sudden they are crashing when I try open or play them any ideas what I can o, they seem can help me,

    I have I pad first gen and have laded King App Candy Crush and all of sudden they keep crashing when I try playing them, any suggestions.  king Forum was no help.

    One of the basic troubleshooting steps for apps that continue to crash is to delete them and reinstall them. but you don't want to do that because you will lose all of your progress and have to start all over again. On the other hand, if the apps are unplayable anyway, what good is the progress that you have achieve if the apps won't work?
    I would start with real basic things. Close all other apps on your iPad, reset the device and then see if that makes any difference. Since you are running iOS 5, you close apps by double tapping the home button to get to the multitasking tray at the bottom of the screen, hold down on an app icon until all of the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon. Close all of the apps in the multitasking try this way. Swipe to the left to get to each and every app and close them all. After they have all been close, tap the home button twice.
    Now reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the Apple logo and let the iPad start up.  Try Candy Crush or one of the other games and see how they work for you now.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • I am planning to to a clean install of Mavericks on my MacBook Air 11" mid 2012. Will i lose out on the free apps like iPhoto and iMovie etc after the clean install? Has anyone done it yet?

    I had not upgraded to the free 10.8 update.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you do a clean installation, you will lose all iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand) because they are not included in OS X. However, after reinstalling OS X, you will be able to reinstall them for free from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and download the iLife applications. Note that the latest version is only compatible with OS X Mavericks.
    Also, make a backup of your files with Time Machine before upgrading and check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    Thanks...I have tried the various options and the only item of interest is that my only account on this computer says it has 102 gig of memory used up.  However, when I open and look at the individual files, they add up to less than 15 gigs.

  • I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    I am unable to sync my iPad with my new MacBook Air without losing all photos even though both are linked to the same iTunes account

    Transferring photos from your computer has nothing to do with your iTunes account/Apple ID.
    Photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another, all photos on the iPad that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first - even if the photos were transferred from the old or different computer to the new computer being used for syncing.
    When transferring photos from your computer, what is named the iPod Photo Cache is created on your computer for the photos that are transferred and why you see new photos being transferres are optimized before the actual transfer process. The iPod Photo Cache for these photos on the computer the photos were transferred from is not available on your new computer.
    Since all photos on your iPad that were transferred from the old or different computer should remain on that computer, transfer the photos from that computer to your new computer. These photos on your iPad will be erased with the first sync but will be re-transferred along with a new iPod Photo Cache for these photos being created on your new computer.
