How to sync iCloud photos on iPhone to new MacBook Air

How can I sync the photos on my iPhone to my new MacBook Air? I have been assuming that when I back up my phone, my photos and videos are on my iCloud account and could, in principle, be synced to my MacBook Air. Is this possible?

The iCloud backup is storing your Camera roll photos, but you can only use it to restore the iPhone. See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview
Either connect the iPhone to a USB port and download your Camera Roll directly to iPhoto or Aperture, or enable the Photo Stream on your iPhone and on your mac. That will upload all photos from the Camera Roll to iCloud, and you can download them from the Photo Stream to iPhoto or Aperture. See: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

How to transfer contents in my iPhone to new MacBook?

Hi all,
Recently my MacBook Pro just died, and unfortunately I did not have enough time create a backup (before the death of my MacBook Pro). Then I purchased a new MacBook Air, and would like to know how to transfer contents in my iPhone to my new MacBook? Thanks in advance

How do you create a messages account the new macbook air

how do you create a messages account the new macbook air

Not possible to create a new mailbox with the iPhone.
If the account is an IMAP account, you can create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account or via webmail access for the account using a browser. Any additional server stored mailboxes created with an IMAP account will be available automatically when checking the account with the iPhone's Mail client, and will be kept synchronized with the server automatically.
This is not possible with a POP account. You may be able to create additional server stored mailboxes with a POP account via webmail access for the account using a browser, but such mailboxes will not be available with the iPhone's Mail client, or with any email client used to access the account.

How do I get Microsoft Office unto my new MacBook Air?

I recently purchased a new MacBook Air to be able to complete my online courses, and soon after I noticed that I don't have Microsoft Office pre-installed. Is that standard that Mac computers don't have Microsoft Office already installed? How can I get MS without having to pay an exuberant amount for a new license?

yes it is normal, mac computers don't come with MS office on them
unfortunately the only (legal) way of acquiring microsoft office is to buy a license - as a student you might be entitled to discounts depending on your country (in the UK we have http://www.software4students.co.uk)
there are alternatives - Pages/Numbers/Keynote are the Apple equivalent of Word, ExCel and PowerPoint respectively. office documents can be opened using these apps too. i hear complaints from people who need certain features only available in MS office but for the average user the Apple versions are brilliant
then there's the free openoffice, etc, if you were looking for something along those lines

All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

How to see iCloud Photos on iPhone?

Hello,
So, two days ago I took the plunge and activated iCloud Photos, primarily for the backup, but also for consistency across devices. When I flipped the switch, my iPhone warned me that all photos would be remove (I'd read about this). I said "OK", thinking I'd have access on my phone to all the photos in the iCloud photo library.
But right now, when I look on my iPhone, I don't see icons for all of the photos in my iCloud Photo library (which I can see through the iPhoto library on our Mac).
What am I doing wrong? How do I control which photos are readily available on my iPhone going forward, now that (ostensibly) all our photos are available on the iPhone?
Thanks!
Tiger

Go to iCloud.com on a computer. To see them on your iPhone go to iCloud.com in Safari. Tap the URL field. Pull favorites down and tap request desktop site. Sign into your iCloud account. Now you can view iCloud Drive or Photos if you turned on iCloud Photo library.

You don't sync photos taken with your iPhone camera, you import them:

How do I transfer photos from iPhone 4 to iPad air

How do I transfer photos from the camera roll on my iPhone 4 to my iPad Air?

If you have a few, you can e-mail them from one device to another.
You can enable iCloud on both devices and turn on photo stream (although photo stream doesn't work retroactively so it may take some fiddling)
there are third party apps out ther for photo sharing
You can upload them to a service like dropbox, from one device, then download them onto the other one.

How do I install Windows 7 on my new MacBook Air?

Hey everyone, I just purchased a MacBook Air (4GB ram & 256 SSD) with Lion OS... I have been a PC user for forever & a day... I am going to be installing Windows 7 on it because Wellview is not a mac friendly program aswell as other programs. I am trying to learn the difference between Parallels, Boot Camp, etc... I understand a partition & how it works on a PC & have been reading forums in Mac rumours to try & figure it out on this system... But, what would be the easiest way to install W7? I will have to download Windows 7 OS & it sounds like Parallel but it looks like this MBA has Boot Camp already installed on it. Also, would it be better to have the thunderbolt connected to a hard drive & keep everything off of the the MBA HD? Is there a way to upgrade the RAM in the MBA? I know, that's a lot of questions... But, I would rather ask them here & figure it out rather than asking someone on the phone... Yes, I am male... LOL... One other question I have is how will the touch pad work in windows, how do you hit the typically right mouse button when this laptop doesn't even have one? I know you use the different fingers for different actions as I have been experimenting with... Just wondering on that one... I'm sure it works somehow... LOL...

OMG Morgan, you are an inquisitor .
But I will try and answer all your questions:
1+2: it depends on your demands: if you use both OS's often, and have a "normal" HDD you want to avoid restarting all the time and use a Virtualizer. With a MBA restarting is superquick. If you use Mac apps at the same time with Windows you better use the Virtualizer. But if you are having "bootcam windows" and decide to install a virtualizer later, this Virtualizer can make the VM of the bootcamp partition...
3: you can not install Windows without a disk.
4. The X stands for 10: Snow Leopard is 10.6... Leopard is 10.5... Lion is 10.7... They are all OSX. Befrore that there was OS9.
5. The Bootcamp install is very good guided: Bootcamp makes the partition on your SSD and after that it will ask for the W7 install disk (in case of a CD you need the Apple superdrive). This partition will be about 60GB for W7.
6. If you use Parallels, there is Kaspersky antivirus included (half a year), it will only install when you say yes on the install question (say no for W7) but as I said before: only use an antivirus in W7 and NOT in OSX, if you do not pay very good attention Parallels will install it also in OSX. Better use Avast, AVG, they are free, simple, fast, and good. NEVER use norton. But you can use the one you know form your PC life....
7. delete button: same as backspace, if you hold the "Fn" key at the same time it deletes forward.
8. When a new OS comes available (this not the same as update), make sure before you install it, that all your apps have compatibilty: you can read a lot of posts here of people who did not check before upgrading to Lion!
(same goes for Windows 8, when it comes).
No I don't know where W7 is the cheapest.
9. 32-bit or 64 bit: both are good, it does not make much difference either will run a 32 bit app. I use XP which is 32 bit on a 64-bit Mac OSX, and 64-bit W7. Thus: it depends what you want to run. My old Bankapps are all 32-bit and will not run on W7.
I hope I informed you enough to make your decisions now.
have fun.

How can I transfer photos from iPhone 3GS to MacBook?

Please, I need help!!!
How can I transfer all the pics I have on my iphone 3g s to my macbook?!?!??!?!?!

You can import photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll only.
With a Mac, this can be with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process (which are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library) cannot be imported by your computer or transferred in the opposite direction. Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. Photos transferred from your compute to your iPhone should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
