I have a MacBook Air which has a camera installed in it but it doesn't seem to work for some things like iMovie and my security camera for emergencies. It does however seem to work for Photobooth and facetime. Please write back and help my mac's problems.
It'd be nice if you could help me with my mac's problems so I can start using iMovie and my security camera again. Thank you too all that answer.

My Macbook air has had to have the mother board replaced twice. It is starting to malfunction again -- it frequently freezes when I am on the internet. The screen also pixelates when I go from one page to another. The warranty is expired. Any recommendations?
Hi angier,
How long has it been since the last logic board replacement? Was the previous repair(s) done by Apple directly or via an authorized service provider? If you're on MLB #3 and you're still seeing the same or very similar problems, I'd contact the place that did the service last, especially if it was in the past 90 days.
When you get a repair done through Apple, even if the machine is out of warranty, the service (and parts) carry a 90-day limited warranty. From my experience, Apple is often times flexible on this window as well especially if it's been a repeated repair. -
I have a MacBook Air, which I just upgraded to OSX Lion. I also have the latest version of iTunes. When I try to stream to the AirPort, the Airport resets, and the wireless connection on the macbook locks up. Any suggestions where to start?
To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit. -
Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?
Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?
I would appreciate any advice on the intricacies of operating with Snow Leopard on my main computer and Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air.I'm not sure there are any intricacies except you can't use iCloud to keep the two things synced. It would be mostly contacts, Safari bookmarks, Calendars, notes, etc.
Also, iCloud allows saving iWork documents in the Cloud, so you can access them on both systems. That would not be available for the old Mac.
The two OSes are similar enough that it wouldn't be too difficult to work between the two, but there will be differences in using the Finder (contextual menu changes)
I thought I would have more, but I've been off Snow Leopard for so long now, I'll leave this for someone who is currently operating like that or recently switch to Mountain Lion from SL. -

What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8 but want to upgrade to Lion. My Mac that has an Intel Core Duo Processor (I know really outdated huh) but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade or will it mess it up?
It actually shouldn't allow you to upgrade. Your configuration should be detected and then it should reject your attempt to upgrade.

Can Aperture be installed on my 2 Macs ( Pro and AIR) ?
hi Leonie, I've downloaded it from AppStore, unfortunately.
If it is the Mac App Store, then Carolyn Samit's solution is perfect. Sign into the App Store on your MacBook Air with the original AppleID you used and install Aperture from the Purchased page.
But If you bought a serial number and downloaded from the Apple Store, then you cannot download an installer from Apple's sites. In that case your best bet would be to update your current version to Aperture 3.5.1 if you are still using an older version. Updating to 3.5.1 will change your license to a Mac AppStore license, and you can download from the AppStore on your other Mac.
Which Aperture version do you have installed? Are you already using Aperture 3.5.1 on MacOS X 10.9.3? -

This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

How can I transfer photoshop from an old computer onto a macbook air (which has no disc drive)?
Recently have got a macbook air and need to transfer my photoshop from my other computer onto it, went to The Apple Store but they didn't know how to.
If anyone could help, would be amazing! as need it done asap! thanksOn your MacBook Air, download the CS6 installer from Download CS6 products
Install then enter your serial number when prompted.
Without a valid serial number, the software will run as a Trial version for 30 days after which it will stop working. -

I have an MacBook Air, which keys do i use to connect it to a projector
Which keys do I use to connect my MacBook to a projector
When you physically connect the mac to a projector (which is turned on), it should automatically detect the projector and configure itself. This can take a second or two.
System Preferences, Displays will provide you with a few options on how the external display will behave (e.g., mirrored).
In the Display preferences if you press the option key a button "Detect displays" will appear which will allow you to manually force the computer to connect to a display. -

My old computer crashed.I have a 2006 Ipod which has over1500 songs installed.
I would like to restore my itunes account with the songs on it which I have not been able to do for years. I was told it would be better to have just one account I want to purchase the iphone, then put everything in one itunes account so all my songs can be put on my phone. Please help. I am not computer savvy. There must be something I can do. Thank you.
