And if you don't use that computer often be prepared for the mountains of new notifications the next time you run it. Especially if your like me and use your iPhone and iPad a lot for texting people. Wish iMessage in ML would know what you read somewhere else like iPad and iPhone does
I don't quite understand what you are saying? If i recieve and read an iMessage on the iPhone and then switch on my Mac, I don't get a notification about a new message, but that iMessage appears on the conversation.

How to use Builtin Webcam on Macbook Air

Friends i bough Macbook air. This is my first apple laptop. I am totally new to this.
I was trying to use my Webcam for using Skype and yahoo . Unfortunately the test call shows no webcam availale. When i try to do simple facetime the cam is working.
Can you please guide me steps in which i can access built in webcam for both yahoo and skype.

Restart Mac and try some Apple camera apps that came with your Mac. If they work, see Skype help or yahoo help for help for these non-Apple apps.
If your Apple apps don't work, see the suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090. Unless you get thing working right away, be sure to test more than one Apple camera app in more than one user account.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

I would like my number (not my email) to show up when i use iMessage from my macbook air

HI- whenever I use the imessage app on my macbook and send messages to people, it shows my icloud email instead of my phone number, is there a way to change that?

If your number is not showing up, click on add email address and enter your phone number. Then make sure that you have that checks and set as the default. See pic below.

My imessages app on the macbook air is not working

I have the Macbook Air and the Ipad. I received the Ipad first, therefore have a apple account and everything set up including the imessage app on ipad. However when i got the Macbook Air and used the same email i did for the ipad, it sync and could send messages to people from either product. but later the app on mac didnt send messages anymore neither synced with the ipad or by itself. The imessage ap on the mac is very slow for my mac but i can use the internet super fast. Also the imessage app is not sync with the ipad anymore. I didnt turn on icloud but when both imessage apps on the ipad and mac i wasnt using icloud. So here's my questions:
Is the Imessage app usually slow on Macbook Air?
How do you sync the imessage app for ipad and mac?

HT4437 I have a Macbook Air, an iPad3, and Apple TV. I want to be able to use the iPad3 for training through the Macbook Air which is connected to a projector. Any ideas?

I would like to be able to show my iPad3 screen through the Macbook Air that is connected to a projector. I attended an Apple Training presentation and the presenter was using this set up-how do I get it set up correctly? I also recently purchase Apple TV because the presenter said that she was using this device with the Air and the iPad.

If you are trying to connect the iPad to the Macbook, then try this app: http://www.reflectionapp.com/ The iPad also supports connecting straight to the Apple TV, so you could try it that way too.
Hope this helps!

How do i check what's taking up all of my space on the macbook air?

Hi,
I've only just got the macbook air 2012 with 64gb of space and now it seems that i have run out of space..Apparently i'm using 54gb and i just can't see how thats possible, because i've only download atleast 2 apps and got iphoto and imovie.
Also i haven't got mavericks because i don't think i have enough and i just don't see how i've run out already?? How can i check how much i have left and whats taking up all the space?

Hi DanZeMan,
Click on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then on About This Mac>More Info, then on the top of that window, click on Storage. It will show you a graphic indicating what is taking up your storage:
