How do I use the restart keyboard combination on my MacBook Air without eject button?

On my MacBook Air, I noticed that there are two restart combinations: 'Cmd+Ctrl+Power Button' force restarts my mac and 'Cmd+Ctrl+Eject' restarts my mac normally (not force restart). OS X: Keyboard shortcuts
I noticed that there is no eject button on my macbook air and was wondering if anyone knows how to restart a macbook air without eject button.
I have tried using 'Cmd=Ctrl+Power Button' but as I said, it force restarts my mac not restarts it normally.
Also, 'Fn+Cmd+Ctrl+Power Button' also force restarts my mac.
Please could someone tell me how to retort my mac normally with the keyboard shor

With Applescript Editor crate an application with the following script:
tell application "Finder"
restart
end tell
Put the application in the Dock and clicking on it will restart your MBA.

  • How can I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air?

    How do I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air?  Can this be done only wirelessly?

    No, you can transfer from a Mac wirelessly, wired ethernet, Thunderbolt or Firewire. Your older Mac must have the same connection, but you can use adaptors if necessary. For example, you can use an Ethernet cable with an Ethernet-Thunderbolt adaptor if your older Mac has an ethernet port.
    Wireless tends to be pretty slow (can take many hours) so it's recommended to choose a wired connection whenever you can.

  • I have Works and Pages installed in my iMAC? I am wondering if I can use the same license installed in my MacBook Air?

    Hi there,
    I have Works and Pages installed in my iMAC? I am wondering if I can use the same license installed in my MacBook Air. Appreciate your help.

    HI Pam,
    You've posted this question in the AppleWorks community, meant for discussion of issues and techniques involving Apple's now discontinued productivity application, AppleWorks.
    The answer to your Pages question depends on how, and with which licence, you purchased iWork or Pages.
    If you:
    -Downloaded the thirty day trial of iWork, then purchased a registration number to activate it,
    OR
    -purchased and installed iWork from the boxed DVD retail package,
    then you purchased either a one user, one machine licence, and will need to either remove the iWork applications from your iMac when you install the package on the Air, or purchase a new copy of the individual applications you want and install them on the air.
    OR
    you purchased a Family Licence, which permits you to install and use iWork on up to five computers owned by members of the same family, living under the same roof.
    If you downloaded Pages (with or without the other iWork applications), then your licence permits you to download and install the application(s) on any compatible device attached to the same Mac app store ID as was the Mac on which it was originally installed.

    Barry

  • How can i use a second external webcam on my MacBook Air 11

    How can I use a second external webcam with my MacBook Air 11" 2011?
    Are there specific compatible webcams?
    Can both cams be use at same time?
    How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?
    Thanks for any tips.

    Plug it in and launch the app you will use to run it.
    paolo@spring wrote: ...Are there specific compatible webcams?...
    Yes.  In general, any current USB model (will meet the "UVC" standard) can work on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.8 or newer.
    More specifically:
    (1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
    (2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
    (3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams.  I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
    paolo@spring wrote:... Can both cams be use at same time?...
    Multiple cameras can be connected at one time, but asking your Mac to actually use (capture and process) more than one video stream at a time might cause processor and data bus capacity problems.  The normal method is to connect your cameras and switch between them as needed, actually using only one at a time.
    paolo@spring wrote:... How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?...
    The software you use to operate the cameras controls that.  For more info, start with the answer in this topic link.

  • How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

    How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft Office is not available in the App Store. Instead, you can purchase it in the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    Note that there are other apps that do the same, like Apple iWork (available in the Mac App Store) or LibreOffice, open-source and free. I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try.
    If you are interested in Office for Windows, you can find it in the Microsoft Store or at shops

  • How do I use the same bluetooth device with different iOS devices without having to "Forget" then "Pair" every time?

    Hi,
    I have bought a pair of Sennheiser MM100 wireless headphones and they are great, however, I'm having trouble switching between devices.
    I have an iPad2 and an iPhone 4s and the headphones connect to both with no problems. My issue comes when I want to switch from using the headphones with my iPhone (listening to music on the walk to the train station) to using them with my iPad (to watch a movie on the train). The iPad still shows that it is paired with the headphones but will not connect saying that they must be turned off or out of range. Even if I turn the headphones off then on again, they immediately reconnect with the iphone.
    I've tried deselecting the headphones as the source for audio from the airplay icon before I make the switch and have also done this before turning them off and then back on again.
    The only way I can make the switch is to turn the headphones off, tell the iPad to forget the device, turn the headphones on (by holding the on button for 5 seconds it automatically goes to Pair mode). I pair up the iPad and it connects fine. But I have to go through the same process when the train pulls into my stop to be able to use the headphones to listen to music to walk to work!
    Is there an easier way? I thought I would just be able to use the airplay icon to deselect it on one device and select it for the other.
    Any help would be much appreciated. I'm going to miss my stop on the train some day!!!

    Here's the trick.
    turn on the headphones.
    It will connect to the device it last connected to ...assuming that its' on.
    go to the bluetooth menu of your phone or ipad (if it's a computer you want to connect to I'll tell you that trick in a second.
    and so now, hold down the S button on the headphones for about 4 or 5 seconds (the same button you use to turn on the headphones) ...the light goes from blue to blinking red....now you're in the pairing mode...which is good...now in the bluetooth menu simply select the mm100 and it will connect...
    you won't have to type in the 0000 or tell it to forget the device..
    but by holding down the button and putting it in pairing mode it frees it from being connected to the device it automatically connected to and lets it connect to the device you choose. this is true of any bluetooth headset.
    if you want to connect to your computer, again...hold down that button on the headphones for 4 or 5 seconds till it enters pairing mode, then on your computer if you have a speaker icon in the menu bar, hold down the option key while selecting the speaker icon...you'll see a list of devices ...select the mm100 and your good to go.
    if you don't have the speaker icon there..go to system prefences and choose the mm100's there.

  • HT4759 How can i use the find iphone app to find my ipod without i cloud ?

    My ipod has gone and i want to find it please i ned ur help it doesnt include icloud

    It sounds like you need some clarification.
    Find my iPhone = Find my iPod = Find my iPad = Find my Mac: a service that lets you locate any of those devices, assuming you turned it on on that device before you lost it.
    iCloud: Find my iPhone (and friends) is one of the many iCloud services.
    That being said, did you turn on Find my iPod on your iPod before you lost it? If so, go to icloud.com or use the Find my iPhone app on anyone's iOS device and log in.
    If you did not turn on Find my iPod, then you're out of luck.

  • I'm trying to use my older Acrobat 4 for printing files from an older Macintosh with system 9, so that I can store and use the pdf documents in a newer MacBook Air, with OSX 10.9.  Acrobat 4 worked previously but no longer works.  Any way to fix it?

    I am trying to transfer older files from a Mac PowerBook G4, running system 9, printing those documents as pdf, using Acrobat 4.  Then those pdf documents will transfer to my newer MacBook Air, running OSX 10, allowing me to store and use them.  My problem is that Acrobat 4 no longer seems to work on the old Mac, and I don't know how to fix it.  Can anyone give me some suggestions?

    You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

  • HT5621 How do I change the Apple ID stored on my MacBook Air?  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website, but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    How do I change the Apple ID that is stored on my MacBook Air.  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    I had this problem on my iMac and fixed it after a  half hour of frustrated trying.  I had changed my Apple ID on my iPad mini while traveling.  When I finally got back home after a few months, I couldn't  log in to iTunes on my iMac.  The old Apple ID was still being used on my iMac.  I tried just highlighting it and deleting it and typing in my new Apple ID.  No dice. The login just defaulted to my old Apple ID.  I tried clicking on the drop down menu that appears when you right right click your Apple ID  that appears at the top of the page after highlighting the 'iTunes Store" in the left side list.  I saw "account" so I clicked on that.  The "account" settings on my iMac showed my new Apple ID but my iMac wouldn't use it. It just kept defaulting to my old ID. I shut down.  I logged back in.  Same result.  Finally I right clicked the same drop down menu and saw "sign out" at the bottom of the list.  Even though I was not signed in to iTunes, I clicked "sign out".  My next log in to iTunes showed my Apple ID as blank and I was able to type in my new ID.  Hope this helps.
    I am a long time 20 year Microsoft user. I am somewhat ( 1 year) new to Apple. With Microsoft, I found that fixing problems was clunky and complex, but there was always a post somewhere that explained the fix. Microsoft's explanations stated even the most obvious fact. Even if everyone knew that the sky was blue, Microsoft's instructions would still tell you that the sky was blue.  With Apple, I find that the obvious is sometimes not so obvious.  But the fix is almost always easy once you find it, without many of the elaborate maneuvers needed in Windows.

  • How can I use two apple id's on one macbook air?

    I have two accounts on my macbook air and two apple id's mine and my husbands. He has his set up on his account and I have mine set up on my account. Only problem is is that it seems we can only have one id associated with the computer at one time and to change it we have to wait 90 days.
    How can I get around this?

    One or both of you needs to buy your music on Amazon.  Then the re-downloading process will be from the Amazon Cloud, which, for obvious reasons, does not have any restrictions about Apple ID.

  • How do I change the name I have called my MacBook Air so I can add 11" and 13" into the title of whose computer this is for more clarity when I set up Time Machine and save to it with both computers?  Both are named with "my name and MacBook Air"

    I'm still learning the whole Mac thing but these are great machines!  I purchased a MacBook Air 13" and then thought I should also get a MacBook Air 11" for travel.  When I set it up at the Apple store I told the assistant the exact same name for each machine, i.e., "my name and MacBook Air."  What I want to do is go back in and rename both of them adding the 11" and 13" designation to the name so that when I set up Time Machine or whatever else I know exactly which machine is what.  I'm sure it is very simple but I cannot seem to figure it out.  Help please. Thanks.

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.
