Mac Book Air, cannot exit Voice Over at initial start up
New Mac Book Air; initial power-up; selected English language; 'Welcome' screen defaults to 'United States'; cannot manually 'Continue' to register and set up; 'esc' results in starting the Voice Over tutorial; 'Command+F5' results in seeing/hearing 'Voice Over off'...can't get past this 'loop'.
Ideas???
I think your issue here is the combo of Lion on the air and the TC on latest firmware.
There is a longish thread here exploring the problem. Start from the end and work backwards.. as we become more intelligent as we try different solutions.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3526741?tstart=0
But you should ring apple support and get them working on it.. perhaps they already know of it and have a work around.. this is definitely a bug and lack of adequate testing to leave you in this situation.
I would say if you need to work through it yourself.. go back to 7.5.2 firmware if you are on 7.6.. just hold down the options key when you go to the top menu upload firmware, and the older versions will be listed.
Try with that, if not enough we might think through some more..
Your issue maybe more serious as most people are not losing internet just connection to the AFP share of the hard disk. Do you have another computer to plug into the TC by cable and see if you can check the logs and the TC wireless clients info?

Mac book air track pad not clicking
The track pad on my mac book air periodically stops working (over the past couple of days it has not worked about 90% of the time. Even if i use a mouse the clicker on the mouse does not work. Not settings have been changed.
Howdy bdahal17,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your trackpad is behaving erradically on its own. Please review the information in the article below for assistance with this issue.
Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic - Apple Support

I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages. I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file. The message states that the Excel file is encryeted. Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
Pat and BobExcel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats? The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password. -

-1007f cannot get the Mac book air to reinstall, no drive. For disk and no connection please help!!
You can download the product from this link:
<Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Your redemption code/Serial number will work with these downloaded products.
Make sure you download the correct version for your operating system - Windows or Apple MAC
Good luck. -
I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air. I used to be able to open them. It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did. still can't. Any ideas?
You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com. The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader. If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files. Hope this helps.

I keep getting this error message and cannot back up my Mac Book Air to Time Machine; "Air.sparsebundle” is already in use" how do I correct this?
Restart the Time Capsule. Launch AirPort Utility and check for a firmware update.

My mac book air connects to my network and gets internet access but airport utility cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine
airport utility cannot find my airport base station to set up time machine
Normally, AirPort Utility is not used or needed to set up Time Machine backups......unless a default setting on the Time Capsule to Enable File Sharing has been changed.
On the other hand, if you open AirPort Utility, a picture of the Time Capsule should be displayed. Are you saying here that the Time Capsule does not appear when you open AirPort Utility? -
My mac book air e-mail is trying to upgrade but it has frozen. How can I stop the upgrade as I cannot open my e-mail?
This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

I give up. Why?
Perhaps you could explain how it won't update?
What have you tried?
Any error messages?
Any messages at all?
Have you tried Apple menu > Software Update?
You should be at Mac OS X 10.7.5 (not 10.7.4). -
