HT1349 My ITunes is locked on my MacBook Air
I keep getting the message "The ITunes library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file... I have I Tunes on my HP computer and I just purchased the MacBook Air and started downloading my cd's onto that computer and now I get that message... what do i do?
Have you found a solution to this in the meantime?
I tried to use the command
chmod -R -N Music/
on the home folder, where I have this problem. That did not help. The command is supposed to remove the ACLs from the entire Music folder and its contents, addressing the issue that the iTunes folder is "locked." -
Locking device for macbook air 13"
My daughter is off to college and I am trying to find a lock for her new macbook air. It does not have a built in slot for the Kensington locks like the other macbook pro's have. Any thoughts? I know that you can use find my iphone for the computer and remotely lock and wipe it clean. However, I am looking for something that she can use in the dorm to attach her Air to her desk to keep her Air safe while she is not in the room so it is not stolen to begin with. This is a definite design flaw, especially since Apple includes a locking port for their other laptops.

You know where to find a security lock for a Macbook Air?
Exist or not?
You don't specify the level of portability you require.
Kensington makes a lockdown dock that would be a bit cumbersome for travel.

I've seen some other types of brakets that feed through the gap between keyboard and screen, but they are a bit scary inasmuch as the screen will crack if the Air is closed accidentally, or the Air will be ruined if a potential thief tugs at the cable. Makes me more nervous than secure.
Like it or not, the Air itself was made to be nothing but portable in this regard. You take it with you, or lock it in a case that itself can be secured. -

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. -
Macbook air time machine files locked
Hi all, I have just changed form an iMac to a Macbook Air and used a My Passport Air to back up all of my data from the iMac. When I put the drive onto the laptop initially it worked and I could view all of the files no problem. However, my husband has since clicked the buttons for Time Machine to go ahead and do whatever it does and it has now locked any files that are in the 'other user' files from the iMac. So on the iMac there was a user account for him, me, guest and shared. Mine and the guest files have a no entry symbol and say I do not have permission to access these files.......HELP!
Thanks in advance!johnt2626 wrote:
When I open the actual drive I can see a "Back-ups" folder for the iMac but only an image for the MacBook.
Are you backing up the MBA to the drive via a wireless (afp:) connection to the iMac?
If so, then it's correct that you see an image for the MBA Time Machine. If you open the image you will see a "Back-ups" folder.
Does the Back-up appear to be completing to quickly? (I've had this problem a few times).
You can 'force' a deep traversal by starting the MBA in Safe Mode (hold the shift key while booting), then shutting down and re-starting the MBA and then starting Time Machine. -
Can I retrieve files off my MacBook Air that has crashed (White screen flashing folder)?
Besides a few freezes here and there, my MacBook Air has worked fine. However when I opened it the other day, It wouldn't power on. I pressed the power button a few times, and it finally powered on with a completely white screen. I powered it off and on a few times but nothing changed. I figured if I let the battery die, maybe it would work when I charged it again. I left the screen open, but after 10 min, a flashing folder with a question mark popped up, And it's been flashing ever sense. I took it to apple, they said it was a software issue. They plugged it into a g-drive to reinstall, along with other cords and got their apple account up, although none of my information showed up. They said the Mac forgot its software, and nothing of mine would show. They said I have to replace the lap top and gave me prices/options. I never got my question fully answered on if I can retrieve my photos, notes, garage band, music, etc. I left apple with out any trade. Does anyone know of any way I can get my pictures, music, voice memos, and notes, back? I'm desperate and have lots of important stuff that I can't access. I'm also losing work not having access to my computer. But I'm not trading it in until I try/or know there is no way to get my stuff back. I will pay anything to get my stuff back! I honestly would rather have my stuff then the computer. And just get a new one. Any advice will help. Thanks!
a flashing folder with a question mark popped up,
Can mean that your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk and restart.
Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
If the disk is not available, then it's failing or has failed.
If you did not backup your important files, an alternative would be data recovery but it's expensive.

IPhone iOS 7 and Macbook Air Mavericks, deleting hotmail emails to POP folder! Help!
I have an iPhone using the iOS 7 and a Macbook Air using Mavericks (although I'm not sure how relevant this is) and both are set up to receive and send emails to my hotmail account.. Every so often (I think a month or so) I check my emails on either device to find that my hotmail emails have been deleted from my device. When I then log on to hotmail's website, they have been moved to a POP folder, so I then have to move my emails to my inbox and the phone and macbook start receiving them again, very strange! I assume somewhere the settings are wrong, on either my macbook or phone (or possibly hotmail itself). If you have any ideas, please help me, it's getting very annoying!
Thanks!Hey lkpolovchik,
Thanks for the question. Yes, you can continue to use iCloud Contacts, Calendars and other services with OS X Mavericks and iOS 8 devices. Only some features require iOS 8. For a full list of minimum system requirements by feature, check out the following resource:

I couldn't get downloads from iTunes to be on the desktop of my Macbook air but they remain in iTunes folder and refuse to open for use. What am I to do?
Downloads of what? Songs? Apps? Books?
If you're talking about apps, then you have downloaded iOS apps which are intended to run on an iPhone or iPad, not a Mac. -
So I have a MacBook Air, but it doesn't have a lot of storage inside of it. So I set iTunes to sort all media files (it copies things as I add them and puts them in the iTunes folder) and I set the iTunes folder to my external ntfs drive. This has been working fine, but I find that sometimes iTunes starts adding stuff to the folder on the Air itself. I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected, or what, but is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air? Otherwise it keeps building up multiple GBs. Or will just deleting it do something bad with my lecture videos and music when I sync an iOS device? I'm really worried about doing something wrong with my large collection and have iTunes delete it or not sync with my iOS device and I won't be able to figure out how to set everything up again.
Also, should I format my drive to HFS+ rather than ntfs? The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know. I keep everything on my external and sometimes it needs to interact with friends computers or school computers.I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive. -
Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air
3 days ago I failed to send a mail with a large (32MB) attachment - and it is no longer in my outbox, draft mails or sent file.
BUT a copy of this same mail now appears every about 15 seconds in my "recovered messages" folder
I noticed when I received a system error saying I had a disk almost full issue - there were over 580 copies of the mail with 32MB attachment in the "recovered messages file"
I deleted them all, and deleted the Trash
BUT the message still keeps re-appearing every 15 seconds or so. So I keep deleting them.
Since then I have not been able to receive mail (altho' I am able to send) and Mail is VERY slow
I am running MAC OS X 10.6.8
I am running Mail version 4.6 (1085)Also here's the log before it happened. As you can see there is no activity from 9:48 to 10:00 am when the sound occurred.
