    You cannot. Your best course of action is to immediately change all your internet passwords, notify the police and your insurance company. Send the remote wipe command to the MBA through iCloud.com and buy a new one from the insurance reimbursement.

  • When printing in Excel It is always want to use the acrobat X pro trial, which the trial is expired. I do not want to use acrobat X pro trial anymore. How can I reset it and use simple acrobat to print my PDF document?

    Hi screen name,
    Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
    To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
    An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
    You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'
    Please refer : http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/save-as-pdf-HA010354239.aspx

  • I just got a new iMac.  I set it up and all of my contacts have disappeared.  They have disappeared on my iPhone and my mac book air as well.  How do I get them back?

    All contacts have disapppeared from my iPhone, my mac book air and my new iMac.  How do I get back.  I assume it has something to with iCloud.  Thank you.

    Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

  • My mac book air has been stolen, how can I report it to apple

    is theresomeplace I can check before buying another one fromebay?

    You can go here. It doesn't do much though, insofar as getting it back. But it does afford you with identification information to give the police, if you registered the product.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
    I hope you enabled "Find My Mac" on that computer, because with any luck, Logging into your iCloud account could yield its location if the thief tries to use the computer. It ain't much, but it's a far stretch better than just "reporting it" to the police.

  • Want to give my old IPOD to husband but how do we share music etc - he wants different music and apps to me how can this be done without me deleting my stuff?

    Oooppss! Put the whole question in the title bar!
    What I would like to know is how do I get to keep my stuff different from my husbands, there are things that we both like and things that we don't. I dont want him to delete off my old IPOD if it means i have to keep installing again. I dont want to set up a new account because we want to share music and videos

    You'll notice that each iPad is identified by name.  See image below.  Highlight the appropriate iPad and configure iTunes the way that you wish.  The second image below is an example for apps.  You'll see something similar for movies, TV shows, etc.
    The only minor problem is app updating.  IF you choose to do it from inside iTunes, it's a minor nuisance.  Each app is permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was originally used to obtain it.  If you're logged in to the wrong ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  On the bright side, if you update from the iPad, all you need is the password for the correct ID.  The iPad takes care of the rest.
    Mail is a special case.  I use Mac Mail and the setup is pretty much automatic.  What are you using?

  • HT4059 i have an Australian itunes account but want to buy a book from the us site, how can I do this

    I wish to buy a book that is only available in the US store but my itunes account is only for the Australian store - is there a way I can still buy this book.  Sorry I am only just learning all this.

    How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
    Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
    Amazon allows it, iTunes does not.  That is why.  Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public.  It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true.  Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
    With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.
    Sorry

  • Don't Want to Give User URL of server/pls/portal30  How Do I Redirect User?

    Hi,
    How do I perform a redirect so if my portal application is at
    myserver/pls/portal30, but all i want is for my end-users to
    type in the server name and it redirects them to the portal
    app? I also do not want end-users obviously to hit the Apache
    page.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Andy

    Just create an html file with this code :
    <html>
    <body onload=window.location.replace("server/pls/portal30")>
    </body>
    </html>
    Save it in the path $OAS9i_HOME/Apache/Apache/htdocs as
    index.html.
    When the user access http://server the html file is going to
    make the redirection.
    Another solutions is putting this line in apache config file
    (httpd.conf located on $OAS9i_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf):
    Redirect / http://server/pls/portal30
    Good look.

  • My Mac Book Air is professionally attacked; how to clean laptop?

    Hi, nice and intelligent people:
    I took my computer to a sketchy Korean repair shop. They told me that they used "Inception" to hack into my computer, laughing as they handed my computer to me. (http://www.breaknenter.org/projects/inception/) Nervous, I reviewed my computer and decided to do a clean wipe and not access the internet. After a fortnight of tension, stress, cigarettes and alcohol, my computer has been wiped three times given several symptoms --text being altered before my eyes, strange "VGA" looking logo near the battery-menu appearing on my login window, odd text across screen when "fast switching" users, missing programs from dock, changed user and admin settings, missing files, checked remote-login and screen-sharing, and a slew of other unexplainable incidents. The problem is that the symptoms have reappeared. Also, every time I change my passwords, including my firmware password, they seem to have it. I'm afraid they may have done something to my BIOS, or placed something "buried". Any ideas or solutions to wipe the computer absolutely? Help?
    (Incidentally, I gave up on an iphone 5 with the same symptoms and "buried" issues. I just saw a flashes of what appeared to be an icon, an icon of a tablet being turned off or on? I've seen it before on this "infected" phone. My life is a digital disaster. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to endure my life at all.)
    Thanks and does anyone know how to attack hackers from a hacked computer? Help, please.

    The only real way to completely erase the drive would be to use the Internet Recovery System that Apple has for re-installing.
    Boot the computer and hold cmd+option/alt+r
    This should take you to the Internet recovery. This is important because it's different from just accessing the recovery partition which is constantly on your machine. This way you are accessing a fresh copy of everything directly from the Apple servers.
    Once you've loaded the Internet recovery (can take some time as it's downloading items to use), go to Disk Utility and re-partition your hard drive with 1 new partition (this will ensure that anything that was on the machine will be deleted completely. Both in your software and from the recovery partition.
    Continue to use the internet recovery to then install Mavericks on to your machine.
    You can always look here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718) for information on OS X recovery.
    Hopefully this helps

  • I have just bought iphone 4S . I would like to use it as a wi fi dongle for my Mac Book air .Does anyone know how to do that please ?

    Please see above

    You first have to purchase "tethering" from your phone service provider. Then it is just a matter of enabling the tethering within the iPhone preferences (create a personal hotspot), and then pairing your phone via Bluetooth. Here is a support document from AT&T on the subject.
