I bought my Macbook Air 3 weeks ago (23 March) and have to pay for iPhoto'11 : is that logic ?
Via time machine I used my back up of my previous Macbook Pro if this has any relation to my problem.
Now I feel like being blackmailed by Apple ....... pay or you will loos all your pictures .....
You haven't purchased iPhoto yet, have you? If not then contact Apple as ask them why iPhoto wasn't included with the other applications on the MacBook Air? Because it should have been. You do not need to purcahse it.
You can take it to a local Apple store with your purchase papers and have them install any missing applicaitons.
OR, if you still have your MacBook Pro and the disks that came with it? If so you can connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable, with the Mac Air in Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire,, and run the Software Installer disk on the MPB to install iPhoto on your MacBook Air.
The installer disk looks like this:

hi there, i bought my macbook 1 week ago and its working fine. BUT the fan is always running and it is very annoying? what should i do
Take it back to the store where you bought it for a hardware check and/or exchange/refund.
If they say "that's normal" then get your money back.
Nothing worst than a annoying fan you can't do anything about.
I has a eMac that did that, sounded like a vacuum cleaner running all the time, I'm so glad I trashed it and will never buy a machine I can hear running in a near silent library.
Some advice, the higher end models with a dedicated graphics do tend to operate cooler, it's the one's with only CPU graphics (Intel) regardless if a Mac or PC that tend to make a lot of noise.
Graphics should have never been put on the CPU, it just doubles the heat and doubles the fan noise. -

I have an iphone and whenever I receive a phone call, the caller could not hear me only when I switch to the hansfree speakers phone. the same issue occurs whenever I call somebody. Could anybody help me?
Hi
You should ask your relative to physically take the iPhone to the store rather than shipping it because as diesel vdub has said:
"No Apple store will accept an iPhone shipped to them"
All you have to do is safely pack and ship your iPhone from the Philppines to your California-based relative.
HTH?

i probably asking the wrong people but if anyone could help me out I'd be really grateful.
Yes, unless bribes are considered a culturally acceptable alternative.

I bought a season pass, but iTunes says I still have to pay for a specific episode
I purchased the season pass for Big Bang Theory, Season 7 a while ago, and up until now, I haven't had any issues. However, when I went to download the latest episode that came out last night, it only has the option to purchase the episode. I tryed going through the purchases menu in the store, and every episode except this one came up as already bought. I cannot use iCloud download either.
First go to your iTunes menu, STORE, login with your AppleID (if you have not done so), then Authorise your computer under the same STORE menu
Now , go to iTunes store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the top right window. Go through all the tabs to download again for free. -
i was hacked with my old mac book i just bought a macbook pro - week ago it is acting totally buggy - tried 3 browsers safari opera and now firefox - won't download embeded video - just stops etc - what security 'fixes' are available for lion to prevent hacking battery component and malware installed
You have not been hacked. It's impossible to speculate about what exactly the problem is, since all you've said is that it won't download embedded video. You may just need to update Flash, or you may be using a bad site, or you may have a bad internet connection... impossible to say with such sparse data. But it's not hacking and it's unlikely to be malware. Regarding the malware issue, see my Mac Malware Guide.

My Cannon LCD LV-7210 projector does not recognize my Macbook Air nor does my Macbook Air recognize it is attached to an LCD projector. Yes, I do have the proper adapter.
What LCD projectors work best with Macbook Air? Does this LCD projector have auto-detect for computer?
Thanks!I've just purchased a *27in (aluminium case) LCD Cinema Display* and am using it with my MacBook Pro, linked by the supplied three-jack cable (Mini DVI display jack).
The 27" display uses Mini DisplayPort, not Mini DVI.
But I also have *a white-cased MacBook (purchased in 2008) which has an older type of display socket*, certainly not compatible with the Mini DVI type.
The early Mac Book uses Mini DVI.
1. Is there a cable or adaptor available to link my older MacBook to the Cinema Display? Nothing in the online store looks 'right'
No. Mini DVI is single-link, and does not support the resolution needed for the 27" display. -

Hi, I am a student and i bought an macbook air about 1 month ago but i did not get the 100 giftcard from the apple store (that comes when students purchase computers).Am i still eligible to get it?
Not usually.
Apple has had similar offerings every year, to which they always establish a time interval for elligibility. I've not seen where they give credit to prior sales on the education perks. -
Bought a MacBook air but it did not come with the updates
I bought a MacBook air today, and it did not come the software updates, everything on the dock looks really dated. Is this okay? I bought a different MacBook air earlier this week and it came with all the software updates, the one I purchased today is not updated whatsoever. Is this normal? Should I take it back and ask why it didn't have the updates? Or do I conitnue updating to it on my own?
It sounds as if you did not purchase your machine through an authorized Apple dealer. So I wonder, for example, if you actually purchased the very latest MacBook Air (2014 model) in a factory sealed box. I recommend you make your purchase from an authorized Apple dealer.

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
Thanks,
SeanThe answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine. -
i just bought a macbook air. ive been transfering all my songs from my external harddrive that i had on my previous laptop for itunes. now that i got them transfered. my itunes wont open. it says "the itunes library file cannot be found or created. the default location for this file is in the itunes folder in the music folder." what do i do!?!
How did you move the music? You have to do it in a specific way:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
