I am trying to install Iphoto on my new MacBook Air adn the install button is grayed out Any suggestions

I am trying to install iphoto 09 on my new MacBook Air and the install button is grayed out. Both for installation and custom install. Is there a problem that I am not aware of?

Check for receipts
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

I am trying to use Iphoto and the share button is grayed out so I cannot send an email

I have tried multiple times to upload photos but the "share" button is grayed out. Anyone know how to fix that?

That refers to iMovie, not iPhoto, and photos in Events can certainly be shared to Email.
What email option have you selected? IPhoto? Or some other one?

What happens when you try to upload the album? Are there any error messages?
Which iPhoto version are you using?
Are you ordering from the correct Print Products Store for your country? Check the settings in iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced:

If you mean iCloud is grayed out in settings, go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set this to Allow Changes.

My new MacBook Air won't install the latest software update. How do I fix that?

I can't get my new MacBook Air to install the latest software update.
It keeps telling me that an "unexpected error" occurred.
How do I fix this?

Your posting above says you're running Lion (Version 10.7.3).
Going to the current version of Mountain Lion (Version 10.8.2) requires a $20 purchase (upgrade fee) from the App Store.
Further, if your iMac is older than mid-2007, it cannot be upgraded to Mountain Lion. Only mid-2007 or newer iMacs can handle it.

Re-installing Photoshop CS5 on new Macbook Air Says license key is invalid.

I am moving software from my MACBook Pro to a new MACBook Air and when I installed CS5 it told me that my license key is invalid. Its a good license and I don't know why this message is coming up.
Thoughts?

you need to double check the program/suite name that you purchased.
you can check your account if you purhased from adobe, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
otherwise, adobe support may be able to tell your product name given your serial number,

Hi. My iPhoto library is 27gb however when I add it to iPhoto on my new MacBook Air, nothing shows up.

My iPhoto library went haywire last week on my old snow leopard White Macbook (07), and although the library is 27GB, nothing was showing in my iPhoto when opened.
I have yesterday bought a new MacBook Air (running Lion) and have moved my iPhoto library on an external harddrive across to my the Air, however when i try to have my iPhoto use this library (still 27GB), nothing shows up in program and it says zero photos.
Any ideas on how I can rectify this issue?
Thanks all!

Greetings,
Do you have a backup? It sounds like your iPhoto Library database has become damaged and the cleanest way to resolve this would be to restore from your backup from a point in time before the issue started.
If you don't maintain backups of your important data, its time to start. Read here for how to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
If you don't have a backup of the library before this issue occured then lets try rebuilding the library.
Open iPhoto while holding both the command and option keys on the keyboard.
Once you get the rebuild window below, put a check in each item listed in numberical order 1 at a time, clicking "Rebuild" after each one until the issue is resolved.
Let us know if that resolves the issue for you.
Cheers.

I'm trying to install PDANET on a new Macbook Air.

Installing Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Macbook Air without the CD-room

I have recieved Adobe Photoshop Lightroom when I purchased my last camera, but the issue is that it is on a CD and I have a Macbook Air which does not have a CD-room.
Are there any other ways of installing this on my computer without having to buy the CD-room-attachment from Apple? Is it possible to insert some sort of code, as with the Works-package for instance?

No way to install Keynote on my new Macbook Air

My wife is getting the old Macbook Air, and I am to install iWork on the new one. But I can not INSTALL - I just get the UPDATE option for all the three products in iWork. Really frustrating..
When I click on UPDATE I get the message:
"You have updates for other accounts. To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."
Makes no sense to me and doesnt help at all...
Anyone? Please
BR Geir

Log into App Store > Store > Purchases, find Keynote and click install.

New macbook air (2008) hinge installed; is this new hinge the same or a revision to address the problem? What should I afford to prevent a repeat of this?

I recently had my first macbook air (2008)'s hinge replaced by Apple after I found out about the quality program apple had for the supposedly weak hinges (had no idea until a genius happened to tell me about it while discussing my newest purchase (the new MBA); I use my old air as a backup anyhow).
My concern is whether or not this replacement Apple installed has been revised to address durability issues (i.e. a redesigned hinge) or simply the exact replacement hinge that originally shipped with the air in 2008?
Also, while we're on the topic of macbook air hinges; how should I make sure this does not happen again to either of my macbook airs (I recently got the i5 revision)? More specifically how far should I open the lid.
Thanks!

My understanding of the hinge issue is that the primary reason for the issue was the barrel assembly enclosure couldn't handle the constant repetition of opening and closing past the acceptable usage angle for the lid. Over time and with enough force applied it would just give out and then the tension coils inside would break out through the relatively thin plastic enclosure.
I do not believe anything was changed with the design or materials when the machines are serviced. The newer models with the "2nd generation" body styling fix this issue more than anything. Not to mention Apple shifted the exhaust vents for the fan to a more suitable place than the bottom of it.

Anyone manage to install Windows 8 on new Macbook air?

Hello,
Got a new "June 2013" MacbookAir 13" 8GB 256SSD and I've been trying for days to install Windows 8 PRO 64-bit using Bootcamp. No joy. Tried both a USB key and an external DVD drive. Same problem all the time: in the Windows 8 setup, I selec the country and language, press Next and it tells me that a "DVD media driver" is missing. I browse to the WINSTALL and BOOTCAMP directories on the USB key which Bootcamp created, it doesn't find any drivers.
If I use Windows 7 32-bit, it gets to the country/keyboard selection and then freezes.
Is it just that Bootcamp doesn't support Haswell yet? That's a pity cos it means I need to keep two laptops.
Thanks for any advice,
- Alan.

Got it to work finally.
Used BootCamp Assistant to download the Windows drivers to a USB key and create a BootCamp partition. Don't use it to create a USB boot disk.
That's my biggest tip - use a DVD not a USB boot disk.
Also, if you get a "media driver missing" error, then get a different ISO image and burn it to DVD. Don't use IMG files converted to ISO files.
When Windows setup boots, you'll probably need to click on the advanced drive options and re-format the BOOTCAMP partition. Otherwise Windows will say that it can't install on it. Be careful that you select that one.
During the setup, Windows will reboot. Remember to hold down the Alt key when you hear the dong and select the Windows DVD (first time) and the Windows drive (second time).
After Windows installs, install the BootCamp drivers in WININSTALL\BootCamp on the USB key by running setup.
Takes maybe 15 mins to install Windows 8.

I want to download and install cs5 on a new macbook air. (I already have it installed on my iMac)

I just got a new mac book air. I want to download and install photoshop cs5 on the new laptop. I already have purchased it and have it installed on my iMac desktop.
I tried moving my copy of PShop CS4 from my old mac book, but got an error code 150:30. So I thought downloading CS5 from adobe would be easier.

Transfering will not work due to the way the software is tied in with the machine when it is installed. You need to install it.
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Brand new Macbook Air 11 - Updates install issue

Just purchased MBA 11 2.0 8GB 256GB and so far I'm getting frustrated.
First off I'm surprised it doesn't come with Mountain Lion installed and second I can't do the system updates to take it from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5.
The download isn't the issue, it runs and unexpected error each of the 3 times I've tried it.
Again the downloand happens with no issues, it's when I go to install the updates that the "unexpected error" occurs.
Apple care is closed, please help. I need to use this Sunday evening to get this done as I have a full work schedule.
Thanks in advance!

If the problem is happening during the installation, then it could be related to errant permissions.
Repair your disk permissions, and verify/repair your startup drive. To do all of these, you can't be booted to the drive you wish to repair (unless you are only doing a permissions repair).
Boot to the recovery partition, by holding down the OPTION key, whilst booting to invoke Boot Manager. Choose the Recovery drive from the list of boot drives, then permit to boot. Open Disk Utility, then highlight the main startup drive, and then select "repair permissions" under the First Aid tab. After completeion, select "verify disk" and run the check. Lastly, (if Verify Disk reports any poblems, run "repair disk". Exit, shutdown and reboot normally. Retry your update.
This procedure is one that many people follow before any system updates. When one forgets to do so, it can often lead to permission related stalls during an update.
