How to add gridlines in macbook air?

I am doing sidewalk art and need a grid reference. I have tried using Pixlr and creating a new layer and copying a png of a grid over my picture but it's just not working. Also I don't have photoshop or photoshop elements and the only image software I have is sketchbook pro (which is not real helpful)
I have no idea what to do lol. I don't really know how to use my new macbook either (i'm switching from pc to mac which has been a long and confusing transition) so any help on anything is welcome.
I have a macbook air 10.9.4 and I'm a total noob so I can't give you a whole lot of info about it, however I'll try to answer any questions as best I can.

  • How to add Lion to macbook air from Imac?

    How can I upgrade Lion remotely to my Air using my Imac file sharing?

    You need to set up an Apple App Store account in order to be able to dowload software from the App Store. An App Store account requires an Apple Id (normally this is your email address). If you don't have one you can set one up. Note this is the same id you use for iTunes so if you have an iTunes account use those credentials.
    If you have a new MBA 2011 (i.e. one bought after about July this year) it will already be running Lion. To make sure go to the Apple menu (top left corner of screen) and select About this Mac. If the version of Mac OS X shown is 10.7 then that is Lion.

  • I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that.  Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese.  You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
    The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless.  It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts:  option + n, then o gives you õ.
    The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard.  But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
    You may prefer to stay with the US layout.  On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears.  Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
    Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
    Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
    To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

  • TS4055 How do I use my MacBook Air to access the Amazon Web Service?

    How do I use my MacBook Air to access AWS (Amazon web Service)?  The information provided to me by Apple Care seems to be about allowing outside access to my MacBook.

    Sorry, but does this relate to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, in some way? If so, how are you using ARD in relation to Amazon's services?

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

    How do i update my Macbook Air 10.6.8 to a newer version

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click here, and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.

    How do I connect my MacBook Air bought sep13 to a Benq GL2450? monitor?

    External screens are designed to work as extended displays for your computer's display. It means that menu bars and desktop icons won't appear, and you will only see windows if you drag them to the right part of the computer's display.
    To change this, you have to activate video mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019

  • How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    It depends on the input connection for the projector, but since many are rduced resolution, VGA seems to be the prevalent common connection.
    It's just a matter of buying the adapter that adapts VGA to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port on your Air. If it is a DVI or HDMI connection input on your projector, the online Apple Store carries that as well.
    This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need for VGA.
    Here's the DVI adapter.
    For some reason, I am unable to bring up the Moshi HDMI adapter on Apple's site.

    Hi,
    Be aware that scanning is no longer supported on OS x 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 but only print functionality is available:

    The printer can be added under Print & Scan / Print & Fax, its drivers should be downloaded for Apple Software Update automatically.

  • How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

    How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

    Hi Kappy,
    Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
    When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
    When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
    I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

  • How do i pair my macbook air with my iPad??

    How do I pair my macbook air with my iPad???

    What do you mean by "pair"? If you're asking about Bluetooth pairing, the only thing you could do if you paired them would be to share the iPad's internet connection. iOS doesn't have the BT profiles for file sharing or syncing.
    If you're asking about something different, please provide some details.
    Best of luck.
