MacBook Air runs OK with 4GB RAM, but with 8GB RAM installed, Mavericks runs well.

    This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities window appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen—not from any of the items in the OS X Utilities window.
    In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • HT201364 Can't install the new OS X Maverick on my MacBook Air.

    I have tried to install the new OS X Maverick, but my computer will not download it. It states that I need  "this system requires MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1 Click on the Updates button in the Mac App Store". I look in the app store, but there is nothing to install. I have tried to search for the firmware, but can't find it. What can I do?

    Try this.

  • When I have installed updates in the past, I have always lost my bookmarks. Why does this happen? I want to install the new update but I am afraid of losing my bookmarks again. What can I do about this?

    When I have installed updates for Firefox in the past, I have always lost my bookmarks. Why does this happen and is there a way to avoid it? I want to install the new update for Firefox but I am afraid of losing my bookmarks again. What can I do about this?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Do not worry. Hold Sleep (the button you have at the top of the phone) and Home buttons at the same time until your phone restarts, and then try installing the iOS update again.

  • I'm thinking of getting the mac book air I'm wondering if I can run my pc games on it if I get the super drive

    mac book air I wonder if I can run my pc games on it if I get the super drive

    If you get a dual-boot (e.g. boot camp) or an emulator on the Mac (e.g. Parallels Desktop) then you might be able to - but I think that you will need to install a version of windows on the Mac.

    I guess it's down to whether your MacBook Air was purchased in early or late 2010.

  • I have 10.5.8 and want to install the new itunes 10.7, in order to sync the new nano , but i am unable to.  Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard in order to sync new nano?

    I have an imac (2009) with OS X 10.5.8 and i need to install the new itunes (10.7) in order to sync my new nano (7th generation).  Do I have to upgrade my software to Snow Leopard in order to run itunes 10.7?  How to I go about this?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • Do i have to reinstall photoshop, after install the new os x mavericks?

    I'm currently using Mountain Lion. If I upgrade to the new Mavericks, do I have to reinstall programs like Adobe softwares and Microsoft Offices? Cause I'm currenly using a lot of software on my MacBook, like Photoshop and SketchUp. It will be a hassle if I have reinstall all these software again.

    Although you will not need to reinstall your Adobe software, you DO need to deactivate Adobe apps before you upgrade to Mavericks.  After you've installed Mavericks just launch Photoshop, etc., and it will automatically reactivate.
    I see no need to deactivate Adobe apps before upgrading ML -> Mavericks, then reactivate. I don't seem to have any trouble running either Acrobat Pro 10 or Photoshop Cs 5.1 in Mavericks after the upgrade-- without the deactivate/reactivate steps.
    Am I failing to understand something?

I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...
