I cannot use Quicken on my new MacBook Air (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) Any suggestions? I love Quicken and it takes care of all my financial needs.

You can wait for Quicken to update (supposedly in the works) or you can switch to another application such as Quicken Essentials or another application of which there are several you will find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
Otherwise you'll need to return your MBA and buy a slightly older model Mac that still runs Snow Leopard. Lion will not run any PPC-only applications such as Qucken or MS Office 2004.

Open the International pane of System Preferences(this may be different in different Mac OS X versions), enable the keyboard viewer and the input menu, open the keyboard viewer, and hold down Option, Shift, or both, until you see a hashtag in the viewer.

Cannot open Aperture on my new Macbook Air

Hello,
I have had Aperture 3.1 on my iMac, and solely purchased the Macbook Air to use for my photography and Aperture while on the road... just got the MBA today, did the whole Migration Assistant thing, and have Aperture on the Air, but when I try to open it, it asks for the serial number, I type it in, but then it throws up an Alert saying
"The serial number you entered is not valid."
I triple checked the serial number to make sure I typed it in correctly, and had done so, even double checked the serial number (I was getting it from clicking on the 'About Aperture' in Aperture) with the online order purchase receipt, and is the same number I have typed in, but am getting this alert.
I checked the forums here and found that I can have Aperture on both my iMac and my Macbook Air (well, the post I found was for a Macbook Pro, but same thing), with the whole single license user thing, so why am I getting the Alert message? Is there some permissions somewhere that I have to do something with so that I can have it on both my computers? I purchased and downloaded it online directly from Apple.
Thank you very much for your time and whatever help you may provide.
All the best to you,
JPH

Hello, CorkyO2 & Tim, thank you both for your replies.
Corky - Yeah, I had found and seen those two posts... the first, couldn't help because I never had a hard copy disc of the application, but downloaded it straight from Apple... the second I disregarded, because this copy of Aperture is my first and never had any previous versions that I upgraded from... though I may try that 2nd link solution anyway just to see if it may work - after I can get Aperture to even do what it was when I originally posted:
Thinking that it may just be a Migration Assistant thing, I thought I would just start all over from scratch, and erased and formatted the Air HD, and reinstall the Air with that little USB thing, and then from my iMac copy the Aperture program onto my thumb drive and load it onto the Air that way. Well, that just made things worse, because just like -
Tim - said, the Aperture App and all it's contents are not all of it, and there are all these related Aperture folders and files interspersed all around the rest of the bloody system, that need to be present for it to work. So, right now, unlike it did before, Aperture won't even attempt to open to that register screen I was getting before, but is just throwing up an error report that it wants to send to Apple. In that report it reads that it couldn't find some Frameworks folder, and I located that on my iMac and copied it to my thumb drive too and placed it where it belongs in the Air, but still same thing.
And again - I can't just simply use the physical media to re-install as I never had it and downloaded it from Apple directly... I think I will never do that again, to just eliminate these types of freakin' annoying situations!
So, I am going to clear yet again my Air and start from scratch and Migrate like I did initially to just get apparently every hidden flippin' thing that needs to be on the drive for it to work like it did before, and try that 2nd link suggestion from Corky, and if that fails then finally relent and call Apple Care!
This is my fourth Mac, and remember how much of a pain these migrations are, I sure wish they were a lot easier, and more able to be customized, like for example being able to pick and choose which Apps to migrate over, which folders, which files, instead of it just sending over every single bloody one whether I need and/or want it or not! I just want my Air to be Aperture, Photoshop, and my iTunes music, RapidWeaver, Fetch, and Text Wrangler, then Mail and Safari - and that is pretty much it, the Air is just going to be a working computer for my photography to get some stuff done on the road until i can get home and do the bulk on the iMac... I don't want or need anything else on it, so would be nice if I could just tailor the migration to just what it is I need, and all folders and files related to those things, and that's it, and not just do this bulk, mass migration of every single cotton-pickin' thing! I know you can do that to some limit, but again, all these stupid tie-in folders and files that may go with things, would be nice if the system would recognize and find and migrate those related files from within the system and leave the rest, as it is you either have to bring everything plus the kitchen sink, or not at all.
Okay, am done ranting in frustration!
Thanks again for your help guys... will get back to it when I have time, which is sparse... willl update here when I find a solution that works.
All the best to you,
JPH

Cannot download Kindle for Mac to MacBook Air OS X 10.9.5

I am unable to download Kindle of Mac to my MacBook Air running OS x 10.9.5. I have been unable to elicit a response from Kindle support and cannot the version from the App Store or from Kindle.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Type Tool CS6 Yosemite on Macbook Air

I am trying to run PSCS6 on a new macbook air i7 8G ram running Yosemite. Every time I pick the type tool it hangs and I have to force quit. All updates for PS are current. I have reset the preferences but does not seem to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, no menus under the tools are showing up.

Just spoke with support.... I named the "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Preferences" folder to Adobe Photoshop CS6 Preferences.old
and it worked! (my magnetic lasso was also very very slow... unusable but OK now).
Hope this helps.
Udit Tuli: On the desktop
Udit Tuli: click on go and then go to folder.
Udit Tuli: and type in ~/Library
Udit Tuli: and click on ok
Udit Tuli: and then look for preferences folder.
Udit Tuli: And look for Photoshop CS6 settings
Udit Tuli: Yes and rename that folder to cs6settings.old

Cannot sync new 4s iphone to macbook air

I have been syncing my old iPhone to my MacBook Air without issue. Today I bought the 4S iPhone from Verizon and cannot get it to sync. I get this message when plug the new phone into the MacAir: The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes. Yet I have downloaded the latest iTunes and when I go to About iTunes it says I have verson 10.6.1(7) and that there are no updates available. When I look in Finder, it says my iTunes is version 10.7. Help! At this point, I have a very dumb phone that cost a bundle and can't even receive email until I sync properly.

Launch the version you found in the Finder.

Cannot associate Apple ID with new MacBook AIr

I just purchased a new MacBook Air and have all of the latest updates done to it. I try to associate my Apple ID to the computer and get an error message saying I have reached my limit of Authorized computers 5 out of 5. I went into my account and clicked on Manage Devices, but I only see 1 MacBook listed as a device (a previous computer of mine), the others are iPads & iPhones, which totaled more than 5 to begin with. I tried deleting/unauthorizing a few of these devices and tried registering my account again on the MacBook Air, but am still getting the error message.
Is there any other place that I can unauthorized computers on my account? I am thinking I may have an old PC or Mac associated with my iTunes account (that I no longer have access to and has since been recycled).
I only see that one Mac on my account under devices, so according to that, I should have the ability to add 4 other computers, unless I'm missing something.

Hi jmcaninch,
I apologize, I feel there may be a bit of confusion regarding authorizing a computer vs. associating a computer/device, which are two similar but seperate processes. All Associated computers/devices are also Authorized, but not necessarily vice versa. There are different limitations on each, and the Manage Devices screen will only show Associated computers/devices, not Authorized computers. For more information and clarification, you may find the following articles helpful:
Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support
In particular for your specific issue, you may find this portion from the first article helpful:
What happens if I run out of authorizations?
If one of your 5 authorizations is on a computer you don't use much anymore, deauthorize it. If you've sold or given away a computer that used one of your 5 authorizations, you'll need to deauthorize all of your computers and then re-authorize each one you still use.
How do I know how many computers I've authorized?
If you've authorized more than 2 computers, you can see how many are authorized.
Open your account in iTunesand sign in with your Apple ID. (Or, open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.) In the Apple ID Summary section, you’ll see the number of computers that you’ve authorized with your Apple ID. You can’t see the names of those computers.
Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need toassociate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
Regards,
- Brenden

Cannot install windows 7 on 2011 macbook air

While attempting to install 64bit Windows 7 on the latest Macbook air, the usb flash drive boots up fine, but i encounter a problem when i click "Install Now". I receive a message that a CD/DVD drive is needed and that a driver is missing for this. It allows me to browse for a driver, but will not let me proceed without choosing one. I am extremely confused, because the Macbook air does not have an optical drive. Boot camp steps me through creating a bootable flash drive for this reason. Any help would be appreciated, I have spent far too much time on google.

Wow, that is strange. I installed Win7 Pro 32-bit using this method without incident. I can imagine what would cause the Win7 setup program to ask for a CD.
I'd recommend recreating the Win7 install disc.

Cannot update app on second hand Macbook aIR

I recently got a second hand Macbook Air and I am trying to update one of my apps but it comes up with the wrong Apple ID (where you have to enter your password) when try to update it. How do I change this?

What you have to do is erase the SSD and reinstall the ORIGINAL OSX. By doing that you can register the MBP in your name wirh your Apple ID.
Boot the MBA with the OPTION + COMMAND + R keys. The display should show a revolving globe. Follow the directions andyou will be connected to the Apple servers.
You will need a solid Internet connection.
If your MBA came with 10.6 or 10.5 OSX, you will have to use the original installation media.
Ciao.
