Buy mac air with Arabic and English keyboard

would like to buy mac air with Arabic and English keyboard?
can u guid me

Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store. So to find out whether you can buy something, you need to contact stores or consult their websites in the country where you live directly yourself.
Since you did not say where you live, it is hard to provide much further help. If you live in the US, you can go to the web page for the online store and order this machine with an Arabic keyboard. But they will not ship outside the US, and every store is different.
Arabic keyboards always have English on them too. Otherwise you could not type email or web addresses.

Connecting Mac Air to TV and sound problems

I have a Mac Air 13, 2011 and have connected it to my Sharp Aquos TX using the Mac HDMI adapter, I get picture on TV and computer but sound only on computer. What do I need to do in the settings?

Select your TV as the output device in System Preferences > Sound > Output tab > click on the TV.
You can also hold OPT as you click on the sound icon in the menubar to select the output device.

Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
is excellent. Check out:

I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work. What can I do??

I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work. What can I do??

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

I am told that the start-disc of my Mac Air is full and that I have to delete files. What do I do ?

I am told that the start-disc of my Mac Air is full and that I have to delete files. What do I do ?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Mac Air Randomly Freezes, and Has to Restart

My mac air randomly freezes (usuially when browing the internet or youtube) and has to be restarted. I think this is the error I get form console:
com.apple.fontd: FODBError: FODBReadFromAnnexAuxFile - annexDB and annex_aux keys do not match
what can I do to prevent my mac from freezing up and to fix this error?

Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

Can anyone help me, I work on my mac air most days and would like certain folders to automatically update onto my iMac when i return home, is there a way of doing this? Many thanks.

Is there a simple way of linking the same excel folder on my imac and mac air, so as the one on my imac would automacily update when i return home, from the mac air? Fairly new to all this, so any help would be appreciated.

Open a Finder window and you should have a folder called iClouDrive in your home folder. Drag your documents or folders you want to share into this folder and it will be available on your other computer (look in the same folder).
As already mentioned Dropbox is a good solution; however, I like to use my free 5 GB from Apple's iCloud because I am not using very much space there. I reserve my Dropbox for other uses such as family photo and recipe sharing.
Good luck!

I have upgraded my mac air to Loin and after that my machine is too slow and stucks like windows any help?

I have upgraded my mac air to loin 10.7.2 and after the upgrade it is slow any suggestions?

If you made a backup before installing lion, now would be a good time to restore that backup.... Ok, well you can always boot into lion recovery menu.... shut down your mac, hold down the option key and restart your computer..... Select recovery from the disk startup menu and go to disk utility... select the OSX disk, you can try repairing your permissions and repairing the disk.... If you lucky enough, it will fix it.... If not, and you have a decent internet connection, click the reinstall LION OSX after exiting disk utility. Your mac will now REDOWNLOAD LION OSX and reinstall it.... did you happen to make a backup before?
Also, did your mac originally have Leopard? Just curious... Because LION is entirely 64bit now where as Snow leopard had support for 32 bit as well, but the problem may be that some of your older apps where 32 bit.... This is just a guess though I'm not sure.... Because I've had numerous problems and crashes with my CS 4 stuff and final cut pro 7 and aperature.... Not sure if it's totally related to the whole 64 bit thing, but the thing is that the crashes are only occuring on my 32 bit apps.... otherwise the computer runs great.... To remedy, I had previously made an OSX lion USB drive so that I could do a fresh install of LION. I backed up all my data and files, installed a new SSD and my Macbook is SCREAAAAAAMING fast.... Sorry about the gloating but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of your problem....

Mac versus PC - which is best value for photoshop?

Hi my background is as a Graphic Designer (accustomed to using macs). However I recently decided to go freelance as an illustrator/graphic artist. I paint in photoshop using texture brushes and also scan in my drawings. The work i do crunches alot of memory and i'm looking to get a new mac pro or a pc to allow me to work as my imac is having a heartattack every time i use a brush. Initially i was looking to get a mac as this is what i am used to but looking at the prices of the memory it seems to cost more than the mac itself , and for my heavy photoshop work i'm gonna need alot of memory.
Are PCs a better option financially or is it best to stick with a mac? I've heard alot of stuff about how PCs are much more prone to viruses, but some people have also told me that the memory is alot cheaper to buy. Does photoshop run ok on PCs?
Anyway I dont have alot of money as i'm just starting out so i don't really want to spend loads on a mac pro if I can get a PC that does the same job for alot less. Does anyone have any clear advice/experience on the subject?

I have had both systems at home for over 15 years, and started out working on pre mac/pc graphics systems so I do not believe to be biased. A big factor in your decision should be is do you already own mac or pc software, and which platform you want to stay on? Photoshop and the creative suite runs fine on the pc and has now for a long time.
The benefits I find of each are:
PC
Cheaper hardware and upgrades (EG: 2nd Internal DVD drive)
Can buy hardware at you local electronic appliance store in case of emergency
A few more software plug-ins and choices
Mac
Less downtime due to virus/mallware
Less hardware problems
Less software problems
Will not need to convert fonts using crossfont for mac clients
Can play DVDs without having to buy third party player.
While the PC has more 3rd party maufacturors which drive prices down, that sometimes is a negative for the PC because hardware does not sync up as seamlessly. You may save money on the PC when initially buying your system, but in the long run you may use up more time trying to clean up viruses and incompatibilities. So they fall pretty equal and the decision really depends on the user and what suits your needs best and whom you will be working with.
Whether you are on pc or mac I encourage checking out the other side, as this adds to your way of thinking and to your arsenal of creative graphics solutions.

Mac air screen flickers and shuts down after startup

I recently loaded Lion on my 2011 mac air. After a week the computer started to have slow startup's, now when i turn on the computer the screen flickers and immediatly shuts down. How can i fix this problem.

correction the Mac Air is a 2010

Photos from iPhone go via photo stream to ipod touch, but when checking Mac air some go and some are missing.

Up until now my photostream worked seamlessly with iphone, ipod touch, and Mac air. Coincidence or not I took the update for iphoto a few days ago. I now discover only some of my photos going in to photostream in my Mac Air. Has any one experienced this problem.
This is my first time asking a question. Sorry if I have asked it in the wrong place

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Mac Air is dark and emits three short beeps/three long beeps/three short beeps ("SOS"). What does this mean?

Mac Air was left on power attached to a monitor overnight. In the morning there was a message that I had to turn it off by depressing the "on" key for over then seconds. I did this and it would not turn off. It is now emitting three short beeps followed by three long and three shorts ("SOS" in morse code). What does this mean?

If what I read is correct, you will need to take your MBA to Apple to have its firmware restored.
I cannot explain why this happened.
