How do I right click with the MacBook Air using the mousepad?

Hold down the shift key
On yours it's the SHIFT key?
Out of the box, most Macs use the "fn" key in concert with the trackpad tap to perform right clicks.
On all three of my Macs, it is the fn key that is used. The shift key does nothing in regard to trackpad clicks, except It does however make all text selected to the right of the cursor.

Don;t seem to be able to re-install Nike plus

I reset my iPod nano recently because it was acting up. The problem seems to have resolved but I don;t seem to be able to upload Nike+ from the little widget that came with the original package.
When I put it into the iPod it shows up on the list but as soon as I disconnect it it disappears fron my iPod screen.
Any ideas?
Have I forgotten something basic?

Is it telling you that your data plan isn't activated? Even though you know it is? Plus when you try to connect to the internet, at the top left corner where it says 3G, it looks like it's working then when your web page doesn't load, that 3G turns to a little solid dot? But once you close the Safari app, that 3G reappears?
If what I wrote, welcome to the problem I am having. Have you tried to shut the iPad completely off? But don't turn off the data plan. Then reboot the iPad. This worked for me, for awhile, but now nothing is working. Mine stopped working Friday. I will be heading to the Verizon store on Monday. Apparently, from what I've read, this is affecting many iPad 2 with the Verizon data plan.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

You can use the latest iTunes (11.1.3) on 10.6.8 - if Software Update doesn't provide it (which it should) then you can download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Does anyone know why since upgrading to ML notes are not visible in Time Machine. They used to be part of mail and could be recovered from Time machine but since ML I don't seem to be able to access notes in Time Machine. Any help would be useful.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Mail doesn't support notes. If you use iCloud, you have them in it because Notes is an application

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

HT3910 I am selling my Macbook Air 2008 and need to reformat it back to it's factory settings. I've been reading the help but I don't seem to have a re-install drive for the USB port. Is this something post 2008 or can I get one from somewhere?

Hey Stella,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question! I'd read through the following article before selling your Mac - it'll include instructions on how to reformat your hard drive:

I need to be windows compatible and I downloaded windows templates but people still don't seem to be able to open my documents, what have you done?

I am new to the mac, and I am trying to get compatible with Windows. I need to be able to receive and send window items, that i and others can read and work on. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Andrea

I assume most of the documents you need to transfer and edit are MS Office derived.
Well there are several options for you to consider
Use the Apple productivity suite iWork although this will open .doc and .xls allow you to edit and export them again in the same formats some formatting and font issues are common place when transferred between native MS OFFICE programmes and Pages applications.
You can try the fee open office suite or neo office ( a version of the same)
These are more familiar in work flow to MS Office and allow saving to .doc .xls and .rtf plus .docx and xlsx.
Or you can buy and install MS OFFICE for MAC2011 which includes a version of Outlook in the full (expensive) package that can be set up with an Exchange server for e-mail and contacts and calendars, and also POWER POINT.
Oh and you can also use the built in Mac text editor to view edit and save as .doc as well.(Its not feature rich ) but it works for simple documents.
If you are using the Mac Mail application to send/receive e-mail with attachments from/to Windows , make sure you have set it to send windows friendly attachment.
To do this open Mail, click on Edit in the Menu bar (Strip at top of screen), scroll down to Attachments and click on the small triangle to the right. In the pop out window click on the Always send windows friendly attachments (A tick should be added to confirm done)
If sending documents to anyone that are to be read only best to print as a .PDF to fix font issues and formatting (these can also be secured with a password).
If you need more complex print editing or image manipulation tools they are also available (at a price) from the likes of Adobe,and design tools such as CAD Vector works/Turbo CAD are also available.
You can also setup complex and secure Windows compatible Networks.
Finally if you absolutely have to view/access some windows specific software for instance a MS Access data base well you could install something like Parallels/Fusion/Virtualbox with a copy of Windows right on your Mac.
Or even use Bootcamp with a copy of Windows (full) on a separate partition.
These days your Mac is very windows compatible.

Am struggling to get my music to play on my iPad purchased albums don't seem to play and I don't seem to be able to sort it out. It's really hard to explain!

Can anyone help me please? Am struggling wi th some of my music. Have upgraded my laptop to new version of iTunes but some of my music won't download. And I'm double tapping for all I'm worth! Any help would be muchly appreciated!

Your post is a bit confusing to me and you really don't explain what is happening other than you cant play music on the iPad. That covers so many things that its hard to know where to start.
This is how you sync music to the iPad.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Are you signed inot the correct Apple ID on the iPad - the one that matches the ID that you are using on the computer in iTunes?
Does the music appear on the iPad?
What are you double tapping and why?

How many favorites do you already have? The limit is 50.

How do I add songs to a current playlist now that I've downloaded iOS 7 to my iPhone 4? I don't seem to be able to add songs anymore-- when I try to add the song, it just starts playing it instead.

I used to be able to open the playlist, choose to Edit it, then go to the song I wanted to add and the song would have a plus sign next to it and if I tapped the song, it would be added to the playlist however many times I tapped it. Now when I Edit the playlist, I go to the song I purchased to add it and there is no plus sign, but I figured, hey maybe that's new too, and I tap it anyway. Instead of going on my playlist it just starts playing. I even thought, after multiple attempts at this, that if I let the song play all the way through it would go on my list, but that was a failed idea as well.
Does anyone out there know how to fix this? I realize I can probably start a new playlist---or maybe I cant!!! --I haven't even tried! But even if I can, I don't want too because this one has lots of songs in a particular order, and I just want to add my new purchases!
I already greatly dislike the visual changes that came with iOS 7 - so I hope these other issuesare easily fixable....
Thanks!

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
