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.

  • New mac book air CAN NOT install win7 ?!

    I just bought new mac book air (1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 )
    Try to install win7, when go to win7 installation interface, the mouse and touch pad doesn’t work. ( I did try USB mouse, same).
    BUT
    I use same usb on my old mac book air ( 1.3GHz ) it works fine.
    I called apple, a very nice lady tell me i should call Microsoft, because if mouse and keyboard works fine in MAC system that means the hardware is fine.
    Is somebody have some idea about this ?
    Thanks a lot !!!

    If this is a 2nd hand Mac, some of those apps were free to the original purchaser, the Apple ID you saw, but they are paid apps for you.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Can I upgrade my iMac (10.6.8) with the prepackaged Lion on my new Mac Book Air?

    In August I bought a new Mac Book Air prepackaged with Lion OSX.
    At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Since I purchased a copy of Lion prepackaged with the Mac Book Air, is there some way I can use my Mac Book Air copy of Lion to upgrade my iMac?
    Or do I need to purchase a copy of Lion specially for the iMac?
    I live in Japan, so it's hard to get clear English advice sometimes!
    Thanks

    You need to buy a copy for your iMac. The version that comes with your MBA cannot be transferred.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • HT204350 Hey, migration from an old mac late 2008 aluminium to a brand new mac book air. Only the new one has firewire. Transmissiom via wifi estimates ~50h. Is there a faster Way to sync? Tanks in advance

    Hey, migration from an old mac late 2008 aluminium to a brand new mac book air. Only the new one has firewire. Transmissiom via wifi estimates ~50h. Is there a faster Way to sync? Tanks in advance

    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.

  • My computer crashed.  I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download.

    My computer crashed.  I bought a new Mac Book Air, but my Photoshop CS4 won't download.  It keeps wanting a serial number from my last product.  I put it in, but it isn't taken.  I am frustrated and furious!  What can I do?

    Bateman777 I reviewed your account and it appears the full version Photoshop software title you purchased was Photoshop CS3.  As Kglad suggested please make sure to utilize your previous full version serial number.  You can find details on how to locate your registered serial numbers at Find your serial number quickly.

  • Why won't itunes recognize my iphone 3 on my new mac book air?

    I just got a brand new mac book air for the holiday and I migrated all my files over from my old computer, but when I connect my iphone 3 to the new computer, itunes did not recognize it in the finder.  I was able to sync and back up some files. And the computer knows that the device is connected (I checked in the System information file and it is listed as being connected. The phone also charges when it is connected, and I can sync my files). I have gone through many of the already relevant suggested fixes (used different USB port, changed cable, restarted computer, restarted phone) and still nothing has changed.  I am running mac OS X 10.8.2 on my laptop and I have version 6.0.1 on my iphone.
    I haven't re-installed itunes yet, as some have suggested as the laptop is brand new. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    try changing USB ports. if that doesnt work and you have restarted the computerand itunes is up to date, uninstall itunes in the order of the article below.
    assuming you use windows.

  • 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 have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    I have an old Mac book pro which had hundreds of photos in iphoto. recently bought a new mac book air. now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!

    now my iphoto library on the old mac book is gone!!!!
    How did you search for the iPhoto Library?
    What do you mean by "is gone"?  Is the iPhoto Library missing from the Pictures folder?  Or does iPhoto launch and show and empty library, and you assume, that the library is missing?
    Which version of iPhoto is installed on your old Mac?
    Search with Find Any File for iPhoto Libraries -  download Find Any File here: The trial is free:
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.htmlhttp://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search. 
    I learned this  from Old Toad , see his post here:
    Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
    Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • It is possible to get the new mac book air with the european keyboard in the USA?

    It is possible to get the new mac book air with the european keyboard in the USA?

    super keyword is used when there is inheritance (class extending other class). In your particular case, super keyword doesn�t make sense, since there isn�t inheritance between A and B. You can use the INT field by an instance of A class.
    a keyword like "parent" does not exist in java.
