    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • My MacBook Air does not have an optical drive.  I have a program (Megastar V) which is installed using a CD.  Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC laptop to install this program on my MacBook Air?

    MacBook Air does not have an optical drive.  There is a program I wish to install on my Air which is an astronomy application called Megastar V.  Installation requires the use of a CD.  Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC (toshiba laptop using Windows 7) to install this program onto my Air?
    With gratitude,

    Thank you for explaining to me how to do this.  I will try it tomorrow and let all of you know how it goes.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • MacBook Air does not See a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset

    My MacBook Air does not "see" my Plantronics Voyager Pro + bluetooth headset as a discoverable bluetooth asset.  I have read on Apple and Plantronics forums that these two devices should be compatible, but so far no luck.  Anybody have any experience with this situation?

    Turns out the Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset failed...exchanging it for a new one and should be GTG.  Thanks.

  • After upgrade to Yosemite my MacBook Air does not switch automaticly from wifi to ethernet. How to sloven problem?

    After upgrade to Yosemite my MacBook Air does not switch automaticly from wifi to ethernet. How to sloven problem?

    Have you tried changing the order in Network Preferences pane?
    Open System Preferences/Networks/Click the gear symbol under the service list. Select set service order then drag. If your wifi is above the ethernet move the ethernet to the top. Click ok. Click apply (bottom left) and test.
    Hope this helps

    my macbook air does not start! I press the on key and nothing happens.
    this morning when I took my macAir it would nt start and when I pluged it, there was no light indicating a charge.
    I checked the charger on my wife's mcAir and it worked.
    I plugged it back to mine and the orange light came.
    since a few hours, the plug is on with the orange light on, and still I cannot start the computer. Nothing happens!
    help!

    Try a SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.

    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • My macbook air will not detect my home wifi anymore!

    In Summary:
    Macbook air used to work perfectly on home wifi
    Wifi dropped one day and all devises lost connection but when the wifi was fixed the MBA wouldn't detect it anymore even though all other devises did
    MBA still works on all other wifi networks
    How can I get my MBA to detect the home wifi again / why won't they link anymore?
    My home wifi (Sky is the provider) dropped one day because the lines went down but after it was fixed the macbook air (2012) stopped detecting it..
    The macbook will detect any other wifi network (office, public, friends houses etc) and works perfectly but will not even pick up the home wifi.
    This is particularly confusing because all other devises including iphones, laptops, tablets etc will detect my home wifi without a problem.
    The only time it has connected to the home wifi since dropping is when my laptop picked up my neighbour's wifi (which is rare where i live as houses are far apart) and then my home wifi showed up and worked perfectly until i closed the MBA and it wouldnt pick it up again
    I have been without internet in my house for c. 6 weeks now even though the laptop appears to work ok on other networks and the home wifi works perfectly with other devices
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Go to System Preferences > Network. Select Wi-Fi or AirPort from the left column. Click the Advanced... button.
    Under the Preferred Networks list, select every Wi-Fi network that appears, including the one(s) you want to use, and delete every one using the "–" (minus) button. Select the box "Remember networks this computer has joined" if it is not already selected.
    OK then Apply.
    Select your wireless network in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu and provide your wireless network password. Be sure the network you select is yours and not someone else's.

  • My Macbook Air does not have a place to check to allow Handoff in my System Preference (General). I have updated to Yosemite.

    Trying to use Handoff. I've read where I need to go to the System Preferences - General - and check to allow Handoff. There is no place to checkmark that. I have updated to Yosemite.

    What model (i.e., how old) is your MacBook Air? Note the following from Help for that System Preference screen:
    Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices
    (not available on all computers)
    If your Mac supports Handoff, select to turn on Handoff between your Mac and iOS devices set up with iCloud. For more information, see Pick up where you left off with Handoff.
