I have 2012 Macbook Air with OSX mountain lion installed, but I can't find the installer
When i check on the Mac App Store, i still have to pay?
I mean it doesn't make any sense, I buy this macbook pro along with the os, and I still have to pay the OS again?
I wish they keep the CD installer just like couple years ago.
Thanks

Have a look in your Utilities folder - X11 should be there. Launch it and you'll be offered the option to install.

I have late 2012 edition Macbook Pro, I have a internet connection with does not run smoothly It gets disconnected and reconnects Thus I failed everytime when I update my OSX Mountain Lion to Mavericks in App Store. My friend just bought 2013 end Macbook Air whicch have OSX Mavericks pre installed.
I was hoping if I can create a OS X version in pendrive from his laptop and use that to install and thuss also update OS on my Mountain Lion.
Kindly explain me in detail how to perform this.
I have already taken back up of all files and I am ready to total clean my laptop.
And I want to update to Maverick so I can thus further update to upcoming OS X Yosemite.The Mavericks on the Air is probably machine specific since it came pre-installed, so it wouldn't work on your computer. See if your friend will let you access the App Store, where you can sign in using your Apple ID and download the installer. You can use this free program to copy the installer and update your computer.

I am not computer savy and like my macbook air because as a college student, and father that is very busy, I don't have to learn to re-use it every month after it crashes from a virus. Am I able to load the new version of osx that icloud requires onto this computer without changing it substantially or slowing it down?
If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

I have latest version of Mountain Lion on brand new MacBook Air but can't install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe website as it always times out with error message...?
OK...I have tried to download from:

It tells me that the Adobe Flash Player is version 11.5.502.146
Intel based Macs
Browser: Safari, Firefox, Opera
I click Download now (I don't have any antivirus software running or a firewall)
The screen then changes to say:
Thankyou your download will commence immediately...
Then I get a nes screen with message:

The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.

I have also tried installing a differnt version by clicking on the "Different operating system or browser?'' and
selecting
Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
Flash Player 11 for Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
The same thing then happens...Thank you. Your download will start immediately...then about 20 secs later

HT4059 I HAVE A MACBOOK AIR OS X 10.6.8. HOW CAN I GET THE 10.7.4 TO INSTALL IBOOKS AUTHOR 2.0?
I cant install ibooks author in my macbook air, because i have a 10.6.8 and ibooks author 2.0 requires 10.7.4. how can i get this os x update?
Lion may still be available if you call the online Apple Store, though a couple of recent threads have reported it as no longer available. If the Apple Store still has it, they will ask for your Apple ID and credit card number and will then send you a code which you can redeem in the Mac App Store.
Alternatively, you may still be able to find the USB installer at a local Apple Store or an Apple dealer, though available stocks will probably disappear quickly if they have not already. Otherwise you'll have to look for the USB installer on the open market, such as through eBay or a Mac User Group. Those USB installers are starting to rise in price.
An alternative, if your MBA supports it, would be to upgrade directly to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. With either Lion or Mountain Lion, confirm compatibility of your exising applications and peripherals before you upgrade.
Regards.

I can't uninstall whatsapp as I can't find the icon anywhere
Did you try:
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
If so then could be a hardware problem sinc it also says:
If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

How do I run Apple Hardware Test on a 2012 MacBook Air with 10.8.4?
Hello everyone,
I am trying to run Apple Hardware Test on a mid-2012 MacBook Air with 10.8.4 installed. Whenever I restart and hold the letter D my computer goes into internet recovery mode and asks me to connect to Wifi... Please help, thanks!Using Apple Hardware Test on computers with OS X 10.7 or later
Mac NoteBook and Desktop computers shipping with OS X 10.7 or later have a partition on the hard drive or flash storage that contains AHT. To start AHT on these computers please follow these instructions:
Press the power button to turn on your computer.
Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears.
It takes a minute or so for AHT to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
The AHT console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
Note: Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.
Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion and later support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT. An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature. Internet-based AHT functions the same as AHT on the hard drive or flash storage outlined above.
The Mac NoteBook and Desktop computers listed in Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery will require a firmware in order to support the Internet version of AHT. Without this update you may see the behavior discussed in this article.

I'm trying to upgrade my daughter's computer for college. She currently has OS 10.5.8. She needs to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I know I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard and Lion first. I can't find the download for either. Please help! I was in the site the other day and thought I saw a link, but now I can't find it.
Thanks.There is no download for Snow Leopard and never was for the general public. Phone the Apple Store and buy it.
Purchasing Lion isn't necessary to get Mountain Lion, but you will need to run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater.

I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to Mountain Lion when it is available? I need to upgrade to run quickbooks and other apps
First, you need Snow Leopard (10.6): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A. Then you use Software Update to update it to 10.6.8. When Mountain Lion (10.8) comes out, find it in the Mac App Store.

I'm running Photoshop CS3 (Ver. 10.0.1) on a MacBook with OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5) will I loose access to my Photoshop if I upgrade to Yosemite?
There's just a flurry of complaints about CS3 crashing under Yosemite. The upgrade is known to damage CS5 installs. Adobe only certifies CS6, CC, and CC 2014 as being tested for Yosemite.
I would not advise it. You would more than likely have to reinstall CS3 and its' updates, as well as your printer drivers and no guarantee it will be the same.
If your work depends on CS3 functioning, hold off for now, or until you upgrade Photoshop.
You are taking chances you probably don't need to. If it works, don't fix it.
