How to get virtual window in macbook air

i have purchased macbook sir 6 days back . i am finding it difficult to work on macbook . Mostly i need to use ms office and another designing softwares like adobe photoshop and adobe flash etc .
Please tell me the procedure of creating a virtual window in my macbook.
TIA

Please explain what you mean by a virtual window? I assume you mean run Windows in a virtual machine?
I think you would be better off using the Mac versions of those software, Office, Photoshop & Flash can all be installed on a Mac.
Running a virtual machine will decrease performance and should be used when an app has no Mac version. The other option is to use bootcamp, which makes a complete Windows install on your Mac in addition to OS X. This basically defeats the purpose of buying a Mac if you only plan to run Windows.
You will need a Mac licence for Office & Photoshop, see if you can 'cross grade' them…

I can't see the option for Microsoft Office so have search on MS's site.

How to get battery information for macbook air 13"

Hi,
I am using macbook air 13" released by the end of last year.
For personal reason, I have to buy a new battery for my mba through the internet.
So, how can I check the battery information (such as release day and last day of warranty) using its serial number?
It is not easy to find such service in apple.com in case of macbook air battery.
Thanks for your reply.
Jonghun Park.

That page supports for (as it mentioned below)
iPhone, iPad, Mice and Trackpad, iSight, Portable Computers, AirPort, iPod, Displays, Xserve, Desktop Computers, Keyboards, Apple TV
NOT FOR THE BATTERY EMBEDDED IN MACBOOK AIR!! :<
(And the length of serial number of battery is longer than above HW products)
Thanks for your answer, by the way.

How to get digital sound from macbook air?

i know the new air does not have digital output in the headphone jack, but is there another way to approach this problem? I heard there are ways to connect an external sound card to make it work (i'm new to this and not sure exactly how it works). I use to have my macbook pro linked to a Dell u2711 and ran toslink from the Pro, but now I'm on an Air, i have to use the analog output from the monitor which is driving me nuts comparing to the digital quality. Hoping there is another solution. thanks!

Hi fjing28,
You could do MiniDisplay Port to HDMI (with Audio-Out) support.

How do i clean up my macbook air to install software updates?

how do i clean up my macbook air to install software updates? It says that I need to clean up the startup disk because I do not have enough space left but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How do I AirDrop between my MacBook Air (OS 10.10.1) and my iPhone 5s (vs 8.1.2)?

How do I AirDrop between my MacBook Air (OS 10.10.1 Yosemite) and my iPhone 5s (vs 8.1.2)?
Bluetooth & wifi (same wifi) are turned ON for both my iPhone & laptop.
On the iPhone, I have selected a Camera photo to AirDrop and I see the AirDrop icon above the apps Message, Mail, Twitter, etc. but I don't see an option to actually AirDrop it onto the laptop.
On the laptop (MacBook Air w/Yosemite), I'm in the Finder and have selected AirDrop, but to devices revealed in the window.
What am I missing??????

Which MacBook Air do you have? It must be a 2010 or newer according to this article: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106

you mean decrease all the files filling your Air?
See here for answer about the OTHER which is taking up space:

See Kappys excellent note on the rest of “other” files taking up your space:
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings?

How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings for resale? When I do the cmd R and go through the process, it begins the restore process for Mountain Lion because I upgraded to Mountain Liion on this machine a few months ago. And it's asking for my Apple ID. If I do that upgrade, the buyer will have a version of Mountain Lion that is associated with my Apple ID and that won't work. Also, isn't there licensing issues in such a case? I want to restore the MacBook Air to its original factory settings when I purchased it in April of 2011. At that time it was Lion and not Mountian Lion. And I don't want any software on this computer to be associated with my Apple ID.
Thanks for all your help.
Ron

Press Command, Option and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase your disk and reinstall Lion
