https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

oldvett
He also stated that he has never had a presenting complaint or has ever heard of a problem with their computers and skype
he just had not heard of same, thats all. A fix for the skye connection with the camera with 10.8.5 is coming from Apple, I wont however conjecture on the time frame,... but you can assume soon.
Peace

How do I stop my new mac book pro from opening all my old emails and flasing them in the top right corner?

How do I stop my new Mac book Pro from opening all my old emails and flashing them in the upper right.

Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

How do i set permission for mac book air to use drop box?

I am trying to share photos with my son's mac book air. Each time he tries to access my Mac it says he doesnt have permission to access the Dropbox. I cant find out how to change this.
His Mac book air has Air drop but it seems that I don't have this facility.
I have tried exporting files to Mac book air and it looks like they have gone through but can't find them!
It is exasperating- I thought sharing files would be easy- have no hard wiring to do it with so does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help appreciated!!!

If your MBP has Lion installed then you have iCloud by updating to 10.7.2.
If you have a 2011 MBP then Lion should be pre-installed. If it is not then you can purchase and download it via the App Store if you have 10.6.6 or later installed. If you have older PPC-only applications such as Office 2004, then they will have to be upgraded because PPC-only applications will not run in Lion.
You can, however, add a second partition to your hard drive and install Lion on that partition. In this way you can keep your older applications and boot into Snow Leopard when you need to use them.

My new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

my new mac book air will not show old emails. how can i fix this problem

The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

Migrating to new Mac Book Air using time machine and seems stuck?

I am transferring my data my 5 year old Mac Book Pro to new Mac Book Air via Time Machine because other methods were not working due to technology out of date incompatibility and my old computer is on its last legs here. Need to get moving on this. Everything appears to be going fine. Just wondered since I have never done this and I realize it takes awhile. At present, the screen is saying it is transferring documents and will take another 13 minutes and it has said this for the last 2 hours and the line below shows still about 2/3 more to go. This has been going for about 4 hours total now. Just wondering if this is normal?
Thank you in advance.

It takes awhile, especially if you have a lot of data. The last time I did this it took over 6 hours. The time estimates are usually way off.

Need to reinstall OS on new Mac Book air

I purchased a new mac book air and migration assistant overwrote the whole hard drive. I want to red o migration assistant and select only some applications. How do i reinstall mavericks and all the applications to the original state? Computer came with no disks??

What you are trying to do is erase the storage and reinstall Mac OS X. To do that, restart the MBA and hold the Command and R keys. That will restart you on the recovery hard drive partition, what Apple now uses instead of an install DVD.
From the menu bar, select Utilities, then Disk Utility. Highlight the internal storage name in the left side bar, usually Macintosh HD, and then select Erase in the button bar top center of the main window pane.
After the storage is erased, Quit Disk Utility and from the Utilities on the menu bar select Install Mac OS X. That will download the Mavericks installer and reinstall the operating system. This will take some time as the installer is about 5.1 GB...you need a good internet connection because this is downloaded from Apple's servers. Also, be sure you are plugged into a wall outlet and not running on battery power. You do not want the machine to shutdown during this.
After you have reinstalled, you are at the out-of-the-box form of the MBA and will have to resetup all of your information from scratch.

I can't print on my HP Photosmart C309a from my new Mac book air

I bought a new mac book air and with the new version system iOS X 10.9.1 I can´t print. I try to add it as a printer and it posts, ¨Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.¨. Is there anything I can do???

Hi gachy1,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to install the printer on Maverick.
I will be happy to help you.
I have provided the URL for setting up the printer with the Apple Software Updates.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Make sure when you add the printer it shows the printer's name and not Airprint.
(you might have to click the dropdown to select the printer's name)
This document shows you 3 different ways you can scan on the Maverick.
How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a good day!

HT1338 my new mac book air can't mirror but my ipad can

my new mac book air can't mirror with apple tv but my ipad can. How do I fix this?

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

I have sync'ed my ipad with my new mac book air, but some of the images did not download!

I have sync'ed my ipad with my new mac book air, but some of the images did not download to the computer.
I need these pictures!
Iphoto does not see these images. How can I download them into my computer?
I have tried using a PC to view the iPad as a HD, but it also does not find the images... yet I can visualize them!!! I need to make sure I do not lose these pictures!!!! How can I get them into my new computer?

In iOS 7 you cannot transfer photos and videos anymore to or from your iPad as if it were a USB device.
You must sync them using iTunes:

I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X. The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case.
Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar: Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while.
Good luck.

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos, I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos. When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything. I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu? That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version. DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored?

HT5313 When i use facebook videocall, my mac book air 11 inches no work, i do not why.

When i use facebook videocall, my mac book air 11 inches no work.

Hi Nobimon,
Thanks for that I had missed that.
FaceTime is an iOS video app for 1-1 contact that has been "transferred" to the Mac OS.
A Beta version was available for Snow Leopard and it then came in Lion and is present in Mountain Lion.
Facebook run a Jabber server for their "chat" option.
There is a setting, apparently, on people's Facebook Settings to Enable it.
The ID can then be used in iChat or Messages.
Most of what I had read on this suggested it was Text only.
It is possible that in a web Browser they may use Flash to do Video Chats
Google Used to then created their Own Video Plug-in that strangely causes issues with a Flash Plug-in being used at the same time.
Google's plug-in uses the Jingle protocol to connect Video chats.
