I just bought macbook air yesterday. Do I need to buy OS X Moutain Lion from App store?

Please becase I saw from app store there hv a osx lion. Do i need to buy it to my new macbook air?

If you bought a new MacBook Air, it probably has OS X Mountain Lion, but to check this, open  > About this Mac, and check the version. If it's 10.8, you are running Mountain Lion.
The Mid 2013 MacBook Air uses a special OS X Mountain Lion version compatible with this MacBook, so you can't use the Mountain Lion version you can purchase at the Mac App Store. Instead, when you need to reinstall Mac OS X, use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

i have just bought macbook air, cant make video calls on skype... why??

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.

Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

Choose the version you have installed now:

OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

I have a Mac desktop and also a MacBook Air. Do I have to buy the OS X Lion for each device or can I buy one for both devices?

Hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

Just bought macbook air 11, but can't even register it

I bought macbook air 11 inch just today. On the welcome page, I chose my country. That click works bu 'continue' click doesn't work.So after wasting some time, I gave up. This is surely faulty, isn't it?

I didn't even know that you could press hard to click. I brought it back to the shop and they told me that the I need to click the bottom of the left side. There seem to be 3 different part at the bottom that you can't see. And also there is a part in the middle that you can click. I found that on the manual. i should have read the manual first. I didn't check it in the first place. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Just bought macbook air; had macbook macbook with Tiger software. What is best way to upload photos to icloud on old computer without upgrading it's software? thanks.

just bought a macbook air upgrading from old macbook with Tiger software; what is best way to take photos from old backbook to icloud so I can see them or download on the new air; Have an external harddrive backup. photo library is too large to transfer directly.thanks.

Memory size has nothing to do with it. I can open my 60GB iPhoto library with only 8GB RAM. Perhaps you have an incompatible version of iPhoto under Tiger with iPhoto under ML.
As to downloading different photos from iCloud, you would do the same if you ...
* open iPhoto under Tiger
* dump the photos individually in to a folder on your external hard drive
* shut down everything on the old MacBook
* connect the external hard drive to new MacBook
* open iPhoto on new MacBook
* import the photos in the folder on the external hard drive directly in to the new iPhoto
IOW, you need not use iCloud (even if you could, which you cannot) to swap photos as you propose.
If you are at a loss for space on your external hard drive for whatever reason (perhaps that external hard drive is a full Time Machine partition), I recommend that you buy another external hard drive just for your photos.

How to restore macbook after downloading Mountain Lion from app store

I just downloaded Mountain Lion from the app store. How do I restore my Macbook to it's factory settings without the CD? (Since I downloaded it online without the CD)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you want to reinstall the original Mac OS X version that came with your computer, you need the Mac OS X DVD that came with the computer.
If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, the installer creates a recovery partition to reinstall OS X and do some maintenance tasks. You can access to it pressing Command and R keys while your Mac is starting

Problem hopping from 10.5 thru 10.6 to M Lion. Can't download M Lion from App store. Just spins and spins when hit Buy App - help!

Bought Snow Leopard from Apple - installed off the disc. Then ran software update and added system update then went to App store to install Mountain Lion. This or any other App for that matter will not respond when I click 'buy app'. Tried this twice with same result.

Hello, I just bought macbook air - and now would like to give my granddaughter my old mac book. I've deleted all my documents, photos, but am unsure how to empty my iTunes music. All my stuff is now on my new computer and I do not want to lose my music!

Now that I bought my new MAc Book Air - if I empty my music from my old computer will I lose all my music on my new computer - ipod etc...
My granddaughter is waiting in the wings to get my old in great shape mac book! thanks

if I empty my music from my old computer will I lose all my music on my new computer - ipod etc...
No. Be sure you have transferred the entire contents of your old /Home/Music/ folder.
Create a new user account on your old computer. Have your granddaughter tell you what she would like the username to be and what password she wants. Be sure to set the new account with Administrative authority. Then log into this new account and delete your old account.

I have OS Mavericks on my Macbook Pro but just bought HP printer yesterday saying i need Mac OS x10.5 or 10.6 only. HELP

Need to know how to updgrade to Mountain Lion or Leopard from Mavericks.

Check this list to find out if your printer is on it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
Any not listed, will have to come from the vendor directly.
Apple provides updates to the printers on the HP link
for the HP printers listed on the first link. Check obviously that HP's own 10.9 drivers for your particular printer are not newer than HP's link from Apple.
If HP does not have drivers for your operating system, open source may be a solution*:

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
