I just sold my macbook air, how do I wipe it clean and delete everything?
Just sold my macbook air and need to wipe it clean....any help out there?
If you boot up whilst holding the option key and select your restore disk, you can erase it with disk utility and then install the OS again. This will wipe all info on it and leave it as if its new.
Hope this helps!

I just bought a Macbook Air and a usb super dive. How do I install MS Office 2003 on it? It won't launch the install when I load the disk in the superdrive.
A 2003 MS office sounds like a Windows version. A 2004 MS Office that was Mac compatible can not be run natively on a new MBA since the Lions do not run PPC applications. You will have to get a newer edition of MS Office that is compatible with your new MBA.

BillConnect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

I have just bought a MacBook Air in Madrid, but the keyboard types, for example, ¿ when I hit shift and the semi-colon key, and = when I hit the ! key. What do I have to do to reset it to function normally?
Go>Preferences>Language & Text>Input Sources
Click off the flags of the countries you want--like if you need a British keyboard that has a British pound symbol, pick that one.
When you're done picking, them leave preferences. Now, in the upper right-hand corner of your computer, next to the date, you'll see a little flag. Click on that. You'll see all the flags you picked. Choose the one you want. Your keyboard will now give you the symbols, letters, etc. that you would get if you'd bought the computer in that country. -
i just bought a macbook air. ive been transfering all my songs from my external harddrive that i had on my previous laptop for itunes. now that i got them transfered. my itunes wont open. it says "the itunes library file cannot be found or created. the default location for this file is in the itunes folder in the music folder." what do i do!?!
How did you move the music? You have to do it in a specific way:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library. -
My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?
You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help! -

But I finished my studies last year and I'd like to know how to get the serial number for me to reinstall Adobe creative suite 5 design premium when I am no longer study because I would still like the used? It is not fair if I do anymore because I really need.
