You need to completely repartition the drive and install a suitable version of OS X that you own. What is the exact year and model of this MBA you have? Did it come with installer discs? If it's a 2010 or later model you can accomplish this using Internet Recover: About OS X Recovery.
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Bought used macbook air and do not have previous users password. how do i change admin settings without that?

I have purchased a used Macbook Air and am trying to clear previous user account data from system. Previous user gave me his password but it does not work and he has no other ideas. If/can I reboot somehow and not loose the programs that he had installed?
System is MacBook Air 11-inch Mid 2011
1.6 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor
Memory 2GB
Graphics Intel HD 3000 288 MB
Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)

You have to erase the drive and reinstall under your ID etc.
Previous user gave me his password but it does not work and he has no other ideas. If/can I reboot somehow and not loose the programs that he had installed?
Unless you bought those programs under your account they are not yours and you have no rights to use them, you will also be unable to upgrade or reinstall them.

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

I logged onto my MacBook Air and it is asking me for my "local items" keychain password for several different things. I do not know what this is or how to get rid of it. Please help. Thanks.

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, testing after each one, until it's resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.
Step 3
Open the Keychains folder as in Step 1. There should be a file in that folder with the name "login.keychain". If there is also a file iwith the name "login_renamed_1.keychain", then please do as follows:
Rename login.keychain to "login-old.keychain".
Rename login_renamed_1.keychain to "login.keychain".
You can then close the folder.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file now named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

The HD was recently changed on my MacBook Pro and I lost my iTunes library (Time Capsule also died!) but have all my songs on my iPhone. How can I copy them to my laptop?

The HD was recently changed on my MacBook Pro and I lost my iTunes library (Time Capsule died also!) but all my songs are still on my iPhone4. How can I copy them back to my laptop? Tks

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

New MacBook Air: questions about how to network (AirPlay, Time Capsule, Apple TV, etc)

Hi guys,
I am the new owner of a MacBook Air 13" and I've decided to upgrade my home network. Can one of you please help me identify the additional products I need to purchase in order to achieve my desired goals?
Here is what I want to do:
* I want to have a large, local, networked hard disk where I can store thousands of photos (iPhoto library) - looks like time capsule or possibly Airport Extreme would be good here
* I want to access this iPhoto library from my MBA, MBP, and iPad 2. The photos will not be stored locally on any of these devices. Is this possible, and would I experience significant slowness due to this setup? Basically i want a local cloud with massive storage.
* I could also be tempted to store my iPhoto library in Dropbox but I wonder if the laptops etc would support this? Also this much storage could get pricey.
* I would like to stream music from services like Pandora and Spotify to my home theater system, which has all kinds of optical / coponent connections (Denon receiver). Ideally I'd like to do this from any of my devices including iPad and even iPhone. I do not use iTunes.
* I would like to stream content from my devices to my TV including photos and videos, as well as basic mirroring functionality. Given I currently stream Netflix etc through Xbox this is the least important of all my desires. My tv has things like hdmi connections.
So guys do you think I can do this? Particularly the iPhoto part. Im really looking for a seamless experience in accessing my photos from any laptop.
Any tips on exactly what products I need to buy would be greatly appreciated.

Pappasbike, welcome to the discussions!
"Now my confusion comes from reading about setting the TC in bridge mode."
"The TC is only a foot or two way from the AEBS"
Last item first....if the TC is this close, it might make more sense to connect the two devices together with an ethernet cable. (Always use ethernet connections when possible for faster speeds and more reliable connections.) You would connect one end of the ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and the other to the WAN port on the Time Capsule.
Bridge Mode....You only want one router doing DHCP and NAT and that is being done by the Extreme according to your post. Since the Time Capsule is also a router, you would want to configure it in Bridge Mode so that you will avoid IP conflicts and double NAT errors on your network. Do this as follows:
Open Airport Utility and click on Manual Setup for the Time Capsule.
Click on the Internet icon at the top of the pane.
Now look for the "Connection Sharing" setting near the bottom of the pane. Select "Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save your new settings.

Why does my new macbook air keep crashing i.c.w. Time Capsule!!!?

I bought my new MBA 11" @ the apple store eaton centre in Toronto. Since my purchase i dec 2010 the MBA crashed often but i thought this was normal (once a week).
Now i connected a brand new Time Capsule & Airport Express (bought @ apple.com) and now it crashes every 30 minutes!!!
--when i try to copy data to the time capsule it crashes after 1,5 gb.
--when i'm listening music via Airport Express the MBA crashes after 20 minutes.
I get a ' filter' over my screen with in several languages that i need to reboot....
I tried to get support at Apple (via phone) but the suggested that i should visit iCentre (in Ede, The Netherlands were i live).
They took my Apple in repair. Got it for over a week and then they told me that the had run some test and that there was nothing wrong... The invoice was euro 79,-!
...At home i tried to copy files to my Time Capsule and the machine crashes again.... (nothing wrong???)
Why can't i get normal support on this expensive machines....!!!???

Backing up other Ethernet doesn't prevent access via Wi-Fi.
If the Time Capsule creating a wireless network? If not, you'll need to configure it to do so in order to allow the MBA to connect to it. If it does, can you connect the MBA to the Time Capsule's network?
Depending on the amount of data you want to transfer, using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter would help things run faster.

When using macbook air and excel, what is the shortcut to edit a cell

when I want to edit a cell, i know that I can point to the cell and click; but is there anything like function f2 that would be shortcut ?

You still have to point to the cell to edit. A double tap on the trackpad will allow an "in cell" edit of the formula. (If you have tap to click enabled in preferences)

No. You still must purchase your copy of Lion from the App Store using your Apple ID. A pre-installed Lion is not freely transferrable to another person or computer. Read the warranty.

Monitor flickering blacks out jolting MacBook Air and LG Monitor IPS277l

Hello everyone. Using MacBook Air and LG IPS277L and have had no issues up until today. All of the sudden my monitor goes blurry and shuts off. I dont see the little mirror box thingy available at the top of my desktop either. It's like the Macbook isn't sending a powerful enough signal to the monitor or something.
The monitor works fine with 2 other laptops. Tried display settings no luck. No updates from LG for Mac available at this time. Any suggestions?
Thanks....

Howdy iMWorks,
It sounds like the issue you are experiencing is only happening on your external monitor, but the video works fine on your internal display. I have a couple of thoughts as to what could be causing the issue here. First, use these troubleshooting steps to help troubleshoot the hardware, and PRAM:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
If the issue persists, I would use the following article to troubleshoot the Safari application on the computer:
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Used macbook air, trouble downloading iphoto with my apple id

I bought a used macbook air and want to download iphoto, but it was downloaded previously with a different apple id by the previous owner. It says I must purchase again with my id but I can't find the purchase option anywhere in the app store. It only says "accept" where it would normally say the price.

Since you bought this second hand, you will now have to contact iTS to sort out the problem. Only they can unadopt the ownership.

I'm also curious, did the previous owner manually install Lion, or did it come pre-installed that way?

I recently got a MacBook Air and want to transfer my itunes library over from my PC to my Mac.

My family has 1 computer where everyone but me syncs all their devices, I had a PC and had my own library but all on one account. I recently got a MacBook Air and want to get my library from my PC onto my Mac. I tried getting it from icloud but instead I got everyones music all together and none of my playlists where there. How to In get my library onto my Mac without adding the entire icloud library?

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

Used Macbook Air- How to wipe clean

I just got a used Macbook Air and I want to clean the computer so that there is nothing left over from the person who gave it to me. Can I do this myself or should I just take it to the apple store and let them clean it off for me? If I can do it myself please walk me through the steps.

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.
