HT5234 Is there something additional I should know other than what I already figure here re: What is the difference and/or benefit between the two power adapters (one with AC cord, one without) that come with the MacBook Air 11"? TY

As per question, TY.

One is longer and one is shorter. Depending on your location one may have a grounding port whereas the other doesn't. Otherwise no real difference.

Are there any additional audio imput controls other than settings ?

I am having issues with an USB microphone, and unless I turn the settings (in audio imput ) all the way down to about 2%, I get distortion from the mic being too sensitive ( and have to place it several feet away from the source)
Are there any other controls I can use to reduce the volume IN, in addition to the slide adjustment in the Sound Imput box ? is there a Gain adjustment ?
thanks

Depending on the device, you probably are not going to see any input gain control options in either System Prefs > Sound or Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. There might be some app that comes with the USB mic that will have some additional options, but I have not had much luck with these apps from the audio device manufacturers, nor with the drivers that come with them. If you are using the USB mic for input for a recording app like Logic, then there are gain controls there.
It's way easier to just use an audio output mic and a USB interface or mixer, which is why the vast majority of professional sound recording people don't use USB microphones.
I use a pretty cheap (less than 100 bucks) interface, which actually has a gain knob right on it.

Are there any additional templates for pages other than those you get when you install the program? If so, where do you find them?

I am looking for additional templates for iWork, specifically for pages. Does Apple or anyone else have them?

Yes there are plenty of third-party templates available for iWork applications. Try doing a search on Google or software download pages such as MacUpdate or VersionTracker.
A few links to get you started:

Is there any way i can get something to connect to the macbook air since it doesn't have a CD slot?

i wanted to know if theres anything i can purchase something in addition to the macbook air computer that can allow me view a CD since there is no CD slot for this particular computer?

APple sells a "matching" drive, but any external USB drive will do.

You can also use DVD or CD Sharing. This convenient feature of OS X lets you wirelessly “borrow” the optical drive of a nearby Mac or PC. So you can install applications from a DVD or CD and have full access to an optical drive without having to carry one around.

My MacBook Pro turns on but not all the way, it gives me an icon of a grey folder with a question mark in the middle, and won't go further that that. Anyone knows why, or what's the problem?

If these do not resolve the issue or if you are not comfortable with proceeding through these steps then take your Mac to an Apple store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. An Apple store will perform these initial steps, diagnose the problem, and give an estimate for repairs (if needed). If the Mac is less than one year old or is covered by AppleCare any repairs would be free.

I am interested in buying a macbook laptop. I am confused however in which one I should buy for the type of work that I will be doing. I either am looking into getting a macbook pro or the macbook air. I am leaning more towards the air.

A basic MBA will be more than adequate. Take into consideration that storage may be a long term issue unless you are not averse to traveling with an external HDD.

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

Does the MacBook Air power extension cord work with 230v?

Hello,
I understand that the MagSafe power adapter supplied with the MacBook Air is compatible with an overseas input of up to 230v, as printed on the adapter itself. However, the extension cord supplied with the laptop states 125v. Furthermore, even the small plug connected at the end of the adapter states an input of 125v. Does this mean that the plug and the extension cord are incompatible overseas at 230v, but the adapter is? Then, how must I connect a MacBook Air to a 230v outlet? I do have an outlet converter that does not transform voltage. Thank you for your support.
(The adapter states it is compatible with 100v-240v, however, the circled plug is only compatible with 125v.)

Yes, for the most part...
If you get the AC in-cord to the Adapter with your regional plug on it,
then the need for any other shape-converter or plug kit would vanish.
Here's an example of the Apple (UK) world traveler kit for power adapters:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit
The part number (less UK) would be similar across all Apple Stores online
& regional stores should have them in stock to match local/traveler shapes.
Another example of regional parts with local plug ends, otherwise automatic
conversion built-in, can be seen among these UK Apple Store items. {The US
store has the local ones for North America; the AU store, for there, etc.}
http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_accessories/all_accessories/charging_ devices
(You should be able to buy the Apple AC cord, for a MacBook/Air/Pro power
adapter, in the region where you hope to use it. -- Better to have the whole
device, in case you don't find an Apple Store or authorized reseller w/ Cords.)
Other stores with the generic end-fit shape adapter w/o power conversion
may be found in major cities near airports or border points. Luggage stores
and travel accessories, or a travel outdoor outfitter, such as REI, Inc.
And then, there are those kits with a power conversion adapter & transformer
inside; these should not be necessary with any Apple product that has a near
universal automatic AC power switching capability built into it. You can get a
local regional AC power cord with the local plug affixed, or use a basic kit.
Each online regional Apple Store sales pages show these kinds of products
with their local power plug version, so it is possible to buy the replacement
AC cord with the correct local plug on it. No further modifications necessary.
{Another device that won't do much good, if you can't adapt, is a DC-to-DC
adapter; this would need to have a MagSafe cord on the exit (output) end
so as to avoid the MagSafe adapter altogether. Such as on a boat or a train
where you may find no AC power, only DC. Uncommon, but possible.}
Good luck & happy computing!

My Macbook Pro was stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. New hard drive is too small for a Time Machine restore. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) on my new Macbook without repurchasing them?

My Macbook Pro was recently stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. I attempted to simply do a restore from the Macbook Pro's Time Machine backup, but since the new Macbook Air's hard drive is significantly smaller, a Time Machine restore was not possible. I even tried to choose only settings or only my User Profile (option) when restoring, but the backup was still too large to do a restore onto the new machine. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) onto my new Macbook without repurchasing them? Also, I reaad somewhere that if you went to the Mac App Store and attempted to repurchase the app and clicked BUY, it would simply alert you that you have already purchased the app (and trigger a re-download)... NOT THE CASE... So I just dropped another $19.99 for a second copy of Pages... Not my intention....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
LM

you should get a usb backup drive as well. time machine has limited use in my eyes. it saves things. but older things can be errased ad space drops without telling you
nothing beats data redundancy. 2 saves is. 1. and 1 is none
im personally not fond of time machne though i use it only for a recovery parameter for a mac
id never ever myself consider time machine a genuine data backup tool. though most do consider it as such
drive clones such as superduper and carbon copy cloner can clone your entire drive for emergency recovery. and you can boot from them as well o. another mac
