HT2490 I want my macbook air to ask me which folder I want to download documents into. Running OS X Lion.
Can I set my computer to ask me which folder I want to download into?
You can't do this in Safari, though you can right-click on a link and the contextual menu will allow you to select where you wish to download the file. If you want your web browser to always ask where to download the file, use Firefox and make the setting in the General/Downloa dpreferences.
Regards.

my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.
I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again. -
How do I can I install MS Office 2008 on a MacBook Air w/ a valid product key? Can I download files somewhere?
Here's the scenario....
I've got a brand new gift MacBook Air 11" and I want to install Microsoft Office 2008 since I have a valid key license that's given by my nephew. Do I have any other options here? Can I download all the necessary files from somewhere officially and just enter the Product Key to install what I need? Are there other possible options?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.You can use a remote disc to download Office as shown here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
But please note several cautions:
1. The product key is intended for one machine only. You would have to be the sole user.
2. Office 2008 is now very close to being obsolete. Office 2011 has been out for years, and Office 365 is available for your Mac as well. -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any antivirus. Furthermore, they will only slow down your computer. If you want more information, read > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg
If you want an antivirus, install ClamXav, but you don't need an antivirus -
I am unable to see the airplay icon on my macbook air, iphone or iPad which would enable me to use my Bose speaker through airplay. I set this up in the UK but have taken my macbook and bose speaker travelling with through Thailand. Ive wifi in my room and am able to access the internet on my laptop, Ive also been able to through the Bose Soundlink air wifi set application connect the bose speaker to the Wifi too.
I am only able to play my itunes through my macbook speakers and cannot find the airplay button which should be next to the volume slide once turned down to less than 1/3 of the volume..Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

i can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?
What format is the external HDD in? If it's NTFS (= proprietary Windows), then OS X can read it but not write.
Eventually copy all content from the drive to a safe place, the re-format. FAT32 is the format which both Windows and OS X can read and write. -
My MacBook Air has a blinking file folder icon on a blank screen with a ? In the middle of the icon. I've tried turning my computer off and on three times with no luck. Any recommendations on how to fix the problem?
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

I just bought a macbook air and I can't open any of my downloaded apps in itunes
I just bought a macbook air and I can't open any of my downloaded apps in itunes. They also keep trying to download to my iphone 4 s but only half of them will download, the others say waiting. thanks.
iOS apps will not open in iTunes. iTunes will sync your downloaded apps to your iOS devices (iPhone or iPad) only.
1. Login into your iTunes account
2. Authorize your Macbook Air
3. Download all your purchased apps to iTunes
4. Sync with your iPhone. -

Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?
You have a lot of things going on here...you are keeping the Air plugged in all the time, you should run on the battery periodically to give it some exercise, you are keeping it on all the time which may be keeping it under constant or near constant load, and you are doing all of that to download pirated content, for which you will get no help on here.

HT1338 I want to download the software OS X Mountain Lion,
I am using a Macbook Air 2012, and want to download the software OS X Mountain Lion, please help me
You need to go to the Apple Mac Store, log in with your Apple ID, which you need to have already set up, and then purchase and download Mountain Lion 10.8. Which version of OS X are you currently using? Are you currently using Lion 10.7 or Mountain Lion 10.8?
Hope this helps -
Can Mail be configured to ask me which folder to save a sent email in?
I'm running Mail 5.2 under Lion 10.7. Rather than save all my sent e-mails in a single Sent folder, I'd like to have Mail ask me which folder to save an e-mail in, after I hit the Send button. Is this possible?
Ernie,
You beat me to the punch... I was just about to reply with a follow-up asking if there was a way to do just that. Looks like I may need to use the separate accounts option in order to allow my to have Full Name information that is more helpful. For now, it won't be a problem because I only need 2 different addresses. If that changes in the future, however, I can see how it would be a problem.
It would be simple if I could add a comma-separated list of Full Names in the Full Name field (in the same order as the list of addresses) and have them match up.
Hmmm... might have to try that, just to see if it would work!
Thanks again. -
My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?
My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS? The Apple web says must have Intel Core 2 Duo. Please advise. Not knowledgeable enough to know if not having the 2 between Core and Duo is a stopper. Appreciate any guidance.
The difference between a Core Duo and a Core 2 Duo is a show stopper when it comes to running Lion. The Core Duo is still only a 32 bit chip, but the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip. You need the 64 bit chip to run Lion.
