When i use facebook videocall, my mac book air 11 inches no work.

Hi Nobimon,
Thanks for that I had missed that.
FaceTime is an iOS video app for 1-1 contact that has been "transferred" to the Mac OS.
A Beta version was available for Snow Leopard and it then came in Lion and is present in Mountain Lion.
Facebook run a Jabber server for their "chat" option.
There is a setting, apparently, on people's Facebook Settings to Enable it.
The ID can then be used in iChat or Messages.
Most of what I had read on this suggested it was Text only.
It is possible that in a web Browser they may use Flash to do Video Chats
Google Used to then created their Own Video Plug-in that strangely causes issues with a Flash Plug-in being used at the same time.
Google's plug-in uses the Jingle protocol to connect Video chats.

I have rented a movie on apple tv and wish to finish it on my mac book air. When I open iTunes on my mac book air I can not see the movie in iTunes. It is an authorised device and I can see other purchases just. How do I fix it?

Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

Do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

I'm afraid so. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

I am new to mac air. Today i installed (unsuccessfully!) MAPLE16 on my mac book air. Now since it does not work properly (it also does not appear in applications) i decide to delete it. I could not remove it from launchpad . i need urgent help

i am new to mac air. Today i installed (unsuccessfully!) MAPLE16 on my mac book air. Now since it does not work properly (it also does not appear in applications) i decide to delete it. I could not remove it from launchpad . i need urgent help from your side.

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
You may be advised by others to try to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name, or by running "utilities" that purport to remove software. I don't give such advice. Those tactics often will not work and maymake the problem worse.

When I use full screen, the top menu is supposed to disappear but does not, why?

Firefox ver. 3.6.8: A friend was using my computer on the web on Firefox. It was already set in "full screen" mode [F11]. She did something, doesn't know what, but now when I go into full screen mode [F11] the top menu does NOT disappear as it should. You know, you hit F11 and when it goes into full screen mode, the last thing that happens is the top menu "disappears" and NOW it doesn't. Iv'e checked configurations and can't figure out what went wrong or is wrong.
Can anyone help, PLEASE!!!

Wonderful Rainbow Wheel when setting up icloud account on mac book air

I am trying to set up a new icloud email account on my MacBook Air, I am using latest software, but i am getting the wonderful rainbow wheel, it is taking an extremely long time to set up and then once it is set up it can not check for mail because it is not filling in the incoming mail server, nor can i manually input.
I would think apples own mail program would work seemlessly on their own computer but it seems not.
Any advice?

this is what i am gettting after it does auto setup, but i can not insert anything into the incoming mail server space

oldvett
He also stated that he has never had a presenting complaint or has ever heard of a problem with their computers and skype
he just had not heard of same, thats all. A fix for the skye connection with the camera with 10.8.5 is coming from Apple, I wont however conjecture on the time frame,... but you can assume soon.
Peace

HT4241 i am trying to connect a hdmi cable to my mac book air i hit source list but not is showing on my tv can somone help me to fix it

i connect a mini display port to my HDMI cable but all i am seeing to the TV is the screen saver on the main screen i am unable to view videos on my tv can any one help

It's possible the TV doesn;t support the same rersolution as before.
Does the LED flicker when you press remote keys?
If so try holding menu and up arrow together for 6 seconds to cycle display resolutions.
If possible try a different HDMI cable/HDMI port.
If all fails you may need to do a restore as described here:

HT1338 my mac book air has just started beach balling constantly WHY

I purchased a new 13" Macbook Air with max everything last August. Love it although have had some issues and needed a new hard drive after it just continually crashed in around October. Have now been finding that it beachballs. I have no idea what has brought this on. I have made sure updates all installed, cleared safari cache and updated all apps. I am at a loss. It is so frustrating. Cannot open multiple pages on Safari - once you open the 2nd page it just slows down and continually has the ball there and cannot do anything but wait. Am really over it. Any ideas? By the way I am NOT an amazing computer nerd and so need everything spelled out for me!! Please help!

Top right of your screen is Spotlight (looks like a magnifying glass). Click on it and type
Activity Monitor
and press 'return'. You'll get something that looks like this:
Choose 'All Processes' from the dropdown menu on the right hand side of the window, then do two things: click on the tab that says %CPU, twice if necessary, so that the arrow is pointing down as in the screenshot. Secondly, click on 'System Memory' in the tabs near the bottom of the window.
OK, what do you see? Answer these questions:
1. Is there something near the top of that list of processes that is using 40% CPU or more?
If so, what is it? If it's not a process you've started (like copying a DVD or something) then click on it, and choose the red 'Quit' button. You may need to choose Force Quit and enter a password. After doing that, wait a few seconds, does the process reappare in the window, just like before or stay gone?
2. Is that little pie chart mostly green, as in my shot, or mostly red, blue or yellow?

Hi, some of the keys on my mac book air aren't working e.g. Hyphen, colon but others such as question mark, full stop are fine. Does anyone know how to fix. My toddler pressed some keys on keyboard and this is the result!

Hi, my toddler pressed some keys on my keyboard and now some of my symbol keys such as comma, hyphen etc do not work. Others such as . and ? Are fine. Does anyone know how to fix? Thanks

You may have this sorted out by now - but if not try resetting your Language to English. I had the issue and found the emoji keyboard was set to spanish.

Face time has stoped working on macbook pro and mac book air

Its been a week and Face time has completely stopped working on my Mac Book Air and Mac book pro,
I have I PAD 3, I PAD 2, I phone 5 , I phone 5, MAC Book Air Core I 7, Mac book Pro 13" core I 7, using all of this some of these devices which are in India also I am using some to communicate with my family using Face time,
just a week Ago my wife was trying to call me using face time and she couldn't connect, she tried and when she calls i do get call but as soon as I answer it said failed and call ends, i though some thing may be wrong with connectivity , but then I asked her to use i pad instead mac book air to do faceting and it worked from i pad to i phone, but she couldn't call using Mac Book Air to I Phone. I thought the ID may have some problem in mac and i asked her to log out and re logging, and there you go, she couldn't even sign in back. i was thinking what's wrong and i came home and started my mac book pro to see what's wrong by logging in to her mac book air using team viewer but before doing that i though lets just cal from my mac to her I pad and then i couldn't even call so i tried to log out and log in and its a same issue i cant login either.
now its been a week i cant log in to face time in my mac neither my wife on her mac book air. when we use ID its says check your network connection, where my net is working absolutely fine as i am using face time from on I pad and i phone.
i think Apple may have stopped Face time for MAC users.
so i can confirm the problem is only with MAC BOOK .
if any one has solution for it, or any feedback that when it will start again, please advise as I need Face time to be working in my mac.
Many thanks in Advance for looking in to my topic.

HT4399 I have a Mac Book Air and have purchased individually numbers and pages. I was given an excel file on a thumb drive and cannot open it. Is there a way to open the xcl file in numbers?

I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages. I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file. The message states that the Excel file is encryeted. Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
Pat and Bob

Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats? The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.

Mac book air track pad not clicking

The track pad on my mac book air periodically stops working (over the past couple of days it has not worked about 90% of the time. Even if i use a mouse the clicker on the mouse does not work. Not settings have been changed.

Howdy bdahal17,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your trackpad is behaving erradically on its own. Please review the information in the article below for assistance with this issue.
