Accessing flash drive on macbook air

hi, i recently got a air mac and needed to transfer all of my music, movies and photos from my old laptop onto a usb flash drive but im having trouble trying to figure out how to transfer the information from the flashdrive onto my mac, i dont know how to access the documents. thanks

Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click that drive, and drag the files to the desired locations. You'll also need an application capable of opening them.

You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

How to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air

I have MacBook Air and also Apple Supper drive for the same. can u help me to find dvd/cd burrning and copy software. and also guide me "how to create dvd/cd image using super drive in MacBook Air"

First to create a video DVD you need to use DVD authoring software like iDVD. You can purchase it from the online Apple Store while supplies last.
For creating a disk image use Disk Utility.
To burn items to a CD or data DVD just insert the disc in the optical drive and drag those items onto the disc icon on the Desktop. Then drag the disc icon to the Trash icon in the Dock which changes to a Burn icon.

Install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air

I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player on MacBook Air and it stops at 98% stating that it needs to to close Safari browser, I close it and still it does not fully install it.

You need to close the Safari process, not only the browser window.
If you don't know how to do that, restart your Mac, then run the downloaded installer before doing anything else.

How to download 'Flash Player' on MacBook Air?

how to download 'Flash Player' on MacBook Air?

Try this alternative:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
It includes the actual installer (so it's a lot larger) whereas the other installer downloads the install data once it starts running, which may be where your problem lies.

Uh, iFixit and the manufacturer of the upgradeable SSD Flash Storage for the 2010-2011 MBA would respectfully disagree. Yes, the volatile memory is not upgradeable, but the storage SSD (NAND Flash) is as upgradeable as it gets.

Problems with iomega External Hard Drive on MacBook Air

Hi community!
I'm experiencing some problems with my MacBook Air and an external hard drive and I'm wondering if anybody would be able to help me out.
I own a MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.7.3. When I connect my iomega 500GB external hard drive, the Finder is able to pick it up, but when I click on the drive name, it spins forever without the Finder responding for a long time (it basically crashes the Finder with a spinning ball staying forever). The light on the external hard drive flashes intermittently when I first plug it in, but after that stays constantly lit. So I guess the disk has power, but something else is wrong with it.
It was working fine earlier today but I accidentally pulled the cable out while the disk was working. I'm hoping this hasn't permanently damaged my drive.
Any help on what I could do to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
SV

You might try launching Disk Utility, and then select the drive in question to run a "Verify disk" on the drive. This may indicate any errors in the file system of the drive that might be preventing the successful reading of the disk.
If the disk is empty, you may want to re-partition and reformat, so as to start with a "clean slate".

Updated osx and flash storage for macbook air and now i can't start up

I updated my macbook air, and now when it restarts I get a circle with a line through it, then the apple, then the screen turns blue, and then it takes me right to the disk utility. It wont boot my desktop. Help!

You say you updated the flash storage. I'm guessing you just recently had it replaced by an Authorized Apple Service Center, perhaps as part of the replacement program.
If that's true, take it back to the Authorized Apple Service Center and have them fix it so the new flash drive boots for you. They should have done that originally.

Flash drive on mac air

Ive literally just brought a Macbook air which I believe has 4Gb onboard abd 64GB flash storage but how do I access the flash storage? Its just that I seem to have filled the 4gb with about a quarter of the amount of stuff that I tried to transfer from my old windows laptop.
Thanks

Your 4GB is your RAM....You can not access that one....That is for your system apps and os to access.
Your 64GB Flash Storage is your hard drive - which you can access and transfer and save files too....It's the one that's called McIntosh HD in your desktop...If it isn't shown anywhere in your desktop then click on Finder - Preferences - General and put a checkmark on Hard Disk.
Now, if you're having problems transferring your files, maybe your Flash Storage is full.
To determine this - click on activity monitor and click on one of the tabs in the bottom called Disk Usage.
That will tell you have much space you've used and how much is left...
Good luck

Flash storage in Macbook Air

Hi all,
I am a bit confused here. I am informed that the Macbook Air 2013 uses Solid State Drive but in Apple's website, it just mentions 'Flash storage'. Is it just the same?

same thing, its solid state storage.
distinction without a difference.
this is the SSD "flash storage" in the macbook Air, uses micro SATA

How to transfer data from USB flash drive to iPad Air?

How do I transfer files and data from a USB flash drive, or from a PC, to an iPad Air?

With a USB flash drive you might, if the drive doesn't require too much power, be able to copy photos and/or videos (if they are under a DCIM directory on the drive and their filenames are exactly 8 characters plus file extension) from it to the iPad's Photos app via the camera connection kit.
What sort of files do you want to copy to your iPad, and have you got an app on your iPad that supports the file type that you want to copy to it ? Everything on your iPad has to be stored within an app, it doesn't have a 'file system' like a computer. Different apps have different ways of copying content to/from them e.g. via the file sharing section on the iPad's Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox.
