  • MacBook Air stolen, how do I sync with new one?

    My MacBook Air got stolen a few weeks ago. After trying to recover it, offering rewards, 'find my [Mac]', etc. I bit the bullet and bought myself a new one. I had Time Machine backups, so restored those onto my new MBA and off I was as if nothing had happened. Pfew.
    That is, until I tried to add some music on to my iPhone. A new Mac, so it needs to be set up to sync with the new Mac. I use iCloud for backing up my iPhone, but music still requires a link with my computer. And so now I'm worried ... what will happen when I link the phone to my new MBA? I don't care about the music I'll lose, I have this in my library. But will it require me to re-download my apps, what about the app settings and content? What about my photos?
    Without access to the original Mac, with the new Mac set up and in use for a while now,
    how do I get my iPhone to 'sync' with my new computer, without losing anything other than music and videos on there?

    Try this document. It should help. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    Hello Community,
    I am looking for some advice / help.
    I have a Mac mini Early 2009,
    I want to replace 120GB Drive with a new larger drive, how do I setup Maverick on the new drive before swapping out.
    I do not have my original OS X Disk,
    I have purchased OS X Mavericks from App Store.
    Is there a way to install on new drive (Via external adapter) before replacing old hard drive?
    I have relevance experience and tools to perform task,
    I have upgrade the Memory to 6GB previously.
    Are there any further upgrade that I can do to my Mac as it is a great little machine and do not currently have funds to purchase one of the new beauties

    I have no experience with the Mini but I thought that normally you could only upgrade the Memory.

    If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:

    how to install software from imac to macbook pro

    Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.

    Click here and follow the instructions. If they don't work, go to the Mac App Store home page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • My macbook air says I have a software update to install and In order to do that I have to restart it first. After I restart it, it doesn't do anything and I do it over and over and it still doesn't update. Please Help

    My macbook air says I have a software update to install and In order to do that I have to restart it first. After I restart it, it doesn't do anything and I do it over and over and it still doesn't update. Please Help

    The order is generally as follows:
    Download the update
    Allow the update to install
    The update will force a restart of your computer
    So I suspect you are simply misreading the directions regarding the timing of the restart.

  • 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).

    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 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.

    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 have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 help???

    I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it says it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 can anyone help please???

    Thankyou for your response... being new to this i have had a look and it says the following
    This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as the current version of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," but does not support the AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap features. It is not supported booting into 64-bit mode when running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It does support "OpenCL" and Grand Central Dispatch introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
    Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X, like Mountain Lion and Mavericks, are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier
    what do i do next
    Thankyou once again for your reply
