Macbook  Air 11" - How to question

Hi, I have recently purchased my 1st Macbook (Air 11") - it is being shipped as we speak.
However I was wondering if anyone here could answer this question:
I have a (Graphire2) Wacom tablet that I would like to use with my Macbook Air for such things as sketching etc. The tablet has a disc|driver which is Mac compatible, but I have no idea how to get the tablet installed on my Macbook Air as I cannot use the disc. The tablet has a USB connection, but what must I do about installing a driver?
Thanx!

If you have another computer that has a DVD drive on it you can use the Remote Disc feature. Either that or you will need to purchase one of the MacBook Air Superdrive's. I see they're $79USD on the Apple Store.
While you are waiting for your machine to arrive you can read the owners manual, on page 19 you can find information on the Remote Disc functionality. The manual is located at:

    I backed up my old macbook onto a hard drive through time machine. now need to restore to new macbook air. HOw??

    If you've not started the new computer yet, after you've started it you'll answer a few questions and then be asked whether you want to restore the computer. If you answer yes you'll be asked the source. Choose hard drive - make sure the TimeMachine drive is plugged in. Choose the TM drive from the list and let it go. It will take a while.
    If you've already started the computer look for Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder. You'll be asked the same question about the source. Follow the instructions above.

  • I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone

    They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
    Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events

  • I downloaded a book as a pdf in an app through iTunes, but I want to read it on my MacBook Air.  How do I do that, please?

    I downloaded a book as a pdf in an app through iTunes, but I want to read it on my MacBook Air.  How do I do that, please?

    A PDF is a PDF.  If it is an app then it isn't a PDF unless it is an app that is supposed to install the PDF somewhere in which case I wouldn't trust it.  From where did this originate? If it is some unknown web site there are plenty with fake links that say you are downloading one thing but they send you another in hope that you will blindly install some malware.  Usually they target Windows users but there's getting to be some for Mac (in particular MacKeeper).

    If possible, I'd make sure to register it on Apple's online system at first start IN THE STORE, and verify it is a kosher serial number before walking out. That way you'll be sure to be covered by the warranty. If the machine is fake, Apple's system won't accept the serial number. If it is stolen and already registered to someone else, it won't accept the repeat registration.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

    I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

    You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
    Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
    Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
    When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
    Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
    Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
    When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

  • I want to copy my iMac iPhoto files to a MacBook Air. How do I do this? Thanks.

    I want to copy my iMac iPhoto files to a MacBook Air. How do I do this?
    Do I drag and drop the iPhoto files or should I use a Thunderbolt cable?
    Thanks.

    Connect the two Mac via a LAN or FW cable and Target Disk Mode and copy the iPhoto Library package from your iMac to your  Pictures folder on MBA. All it takes is a drag and drop no matter how you connect the two Macs.
    If you have an external HD copy the library to it and reconnect to the MBA and copy again.
    If you have a library already on your MBA and it has photos you want to save then rename it before the copy.

  • I seem to have lost my wifi profile on my macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

    seem to have lost my WiFi profile on my Macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

    The profile will automatically be added back again when you connect to the network again. Here, I assume that you have a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined.
    If the box is checked and the network does not appear, then there may be an operating system problem with your Mac.
    That would be beyond the scope of what we handle here with the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, so you would want to post in the appropriate operating system community to follow up on that.
