How can i retrieve my downloads on brand new Air?

How can I retrieve my downloads from Air?

No viruses currently exist for OS X so that is not possible, I'm getting you may be new to OS X and don't know how to locate things. I'd strongly recommend bookmarking and using:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#anatomy
http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/
If you need a little tutoring sign up for a free class at your local Apple Store too, they're very useful. Finally you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support, this is mentioned in your owners manual along with the phone number for it. I'd recommend giving them a call.

  • How can I make my Mac like "brand new"?

    Hello.
    I apologise for this being somewhat rambling but it's hard to explain exactly what I want to do.
    I have decided to give my iMac G5 to my sister-in-law. (I have already replaced it with an Intel iMac and MacBook and three computers in one house is over the top!) I would really like for her to have the "out of the box" experience as if the Mac was new.
    It originally came with Panther and iLife 4. I have since upgraded to Tiger and iLife '05 and I would like to have these installed for my sister-in-law rather than the original software. However, she needs Appleworks which I only have on the Panther disks. I know I have to do an erase and install of Tiger (I'm not quite sure how to do that though) and install iLife '05. I assume I can just install Appleworks from the Panther disks. Can I do all of this and not have to enter personal details, such as a name for the home folder? It would be nice for my sister-in-law to plug in the Mac and then get to do that herself, as if it was brand new.
    My sister-in-law isn't terribly familiar with computers in general. She's never even seen a Mac. I realise I could just do the Tiger install and leave her to do the iLife and Appleworks. But being so new to it all, it would be easier if I could do it for her.
    Any advice, as always, would be appreciated.
    Rachel

    If you have ever had any personal files on the iMac which you would rather not share with anyone, you should use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive using the option to write zeroes. Overwriting the files is the only way to ensure that they can't be recovered at a later date.
    After that is complete, use the restore discs that came with your iMac to reinstall all of the original software (including AppleWorks). Then use the Tiger install disc to upgrade it to Tiger.

  • How can I pause a download in the new iTunes (v.11)?

    I downloaded and installed the new iTunes (v.11) this weekend.  In this new verison how do you pause a download?  In the former versions, while files were downloading, there was a list.  Where is that in this new version?
    Thanks

    its on top right of the app.
    ... Once you begin downloading something new icons will show up right of the search box. click it and will display all downloads. Then it will go away when its all done

  • How can I start Firefox in a brand new session?

    I got onto a malware site that wants to scan my computer for viruses. There is currently a popup window that says "Threat Detected. Please click the Protect button to make your system safe." I don't want to do that.
    I can't close the popup by clicking the 'X' in the upper corner. No other options are available in Firefox. Everything is disabled until I press Protect.
    I restarted the computer and restarted Firefox, and the first thing I see is "Threat Detected".
    So I want to start a new session so the malware Tab won't open from the previous session.
    (I'm using Google Chrome to post this.)
    Many thanks....

    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to make Firefox forget the previous session.
    You will have to redo App Tabs and Tab Groups after deleting sessionstore.js.

  • HT5312 How can I retrieve or reset the forgotten security questions?

    I have forgotten my security questions answers.
    How can I retrieve them or create a new one?
    Thank you for your support.

    Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • After 2 years of not having a PC i now have a laptop... I downloaded iTunes.  How can I retrieve my music library???

    After 2 years of not having a PC i recently purchased and ASUS laptop and downloaded iTunes.  How can I retrieve my music library?
    I thought I backed it up on an external hard drive, but I can't import the files to my library...
    I also still have my iPod with my full library on it, but if I sync it to my new iTunes, it will wipe the librarry.
    Is there any way Apple can help me recover my music library?

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
    Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I just downloaded to the most recent version of Firefox, and lost my Delicious bookmarks. How can I retrieve them?

    I just downloaded the most recent version of Firefox, and my Delicious bookmarks have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT1725 I'm updating my OS and I paused it for a while then turned my PC off then when I opened it again the download was gone. How can I retrieve it?

    I'm updating my OS and I paused it for a while then turned my PC off then when I opened it again the download was gone. How can I retrieve it?

    "I'm updating my OS"
    Which OS?
    "and I paused it for a while then turned my PC off"
    Why?
    Just let it complete the download.
    "then when I opened it again the download was gone. How can I retrieve it?"
    If you mean iOS, select the iOS device in iTunes then click Update.

    I don't think I have ever seen that particular option in Thunderbird.
    Are you using a non-English variant of Thunderbird? This might explain the difference in the wording used.
    Have you noticed anything else missing?
