Macbook Air camera OS X 10.10.1 not working
My camera ceased working after the install to 10.10 on my 13" mid 2012 Macbook Air. Further, I can't find the bug report anymore. Neither skype nor photobooth are recognizing it, and I can't submit feedback to apple... except this way.
Hey Aramis_Erak,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with the built-in camera on your MacBook Air. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:

Hi,
Unfortunately the given answer in the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4552s is lame and unacceptable for us as new macbook air users.
Not only Skype does not recognize the camera. Google hangouts or gotomeeting applications don´t identify the built-in camera either.
We bought this machine to be always connected to our friends, family and co-workers, and the fact of not being able to take advantage to the most common video-calling apps is just dissapointing.
As a brand new mac user, I havent had the chance to back up the previous version of my system, and my mac distributor/seller doesnt accept any return/change because hardware is running fine with FaceTime...
Skype or Google say its an Apple issue... and Apple says its Microsoft or Google. Meanwhile we are having a lame experience as brand new mac users, and Apple should pay attention of that.
We hope Apple understands it needs to be fixed right away. We wait nothing but the best from Apple, so I really look forward to listen a prompt solution of this

You can send your comments and suggestions directly to Apple via Apple MacBook Air Feedback. You will not likely get a direct answer, but you can be confident that the relevant Apple people will see your input for consideration in future updates and product offerings.
You can offer feedback for Apple products other than your MBA via the Apple Feedback page.

Approx 5 month old apple 11" Macbook air and now the down arrow is not working!
Hi everyone,
I have a 5 month old Macbook Ait 11".
Recently, the "down" arrow on the key pad no longer works.
I am completing my PhD and am working with a lot of data - so this isn't working for me!
Can anyone make any suggestions?
I simply can not be without my laptop for weeks while Apple fix it.
I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks :-)If you are winthin range of an Apple store or Apple Approved Service Provider, then I would suggest you take it in to be looked at. They will be able to give you an indication of how long a repair would take - typically not weeks, but unless they were prepared to swap it there and then, which is unlikely, you would have to be prepared to be without it for at least a few days.
You can, of course, delay having it repaired until you reach a more convenient point to be without it, simply by plugging in a USB keyboard. -

HT2090 my macbook air camera is not working
My Macbook Air camera is not working when I try to use photobooth. I have no problem with google hangouts or skype. How can I resolve this problem?
• Restart your Mac. If the problem continues, use the Disk Utility in your Mac's Finder > Go > Utilities folder to repair permissions. Then test the camera again.
• If the your trouble persists,. reinstall OS X Mavericks. Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the reinstall and before testing the camera again.
• Also check your Mac's > Software Update... or Apple - Support - Downloads for latest Mavericks updates applicable to your Mac model such as OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update. -
My MacBook Air came with 4 GB RAM.
Greetings!
My MacBook Air came with 4 GB RAM. How much would it cost to upgrade it to 8 GB RAM?
I am a multitasking musician who wants to maximize what I have.
Thanks folks!It isn't possible to upgrade a MacBook Air's RAM except when configuring a model prior to purchase.

MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac update
I have a MacBook Air OS X version - 10.9.4 . I updated my mac 1 week before but todayI check that my mac in built camera is not working Even I try to check in this thing in all the apps. Please provide the way how to sort out this issue asap.Use the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
The SMC reset often fixes your problem.
Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
If your problem continues, restart Mac. Then download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
If that does not correct the problem, reinstall Mac OS X.
If nothing else works, contact your Apple Service provider or Apple MacBook Support for help. -

Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep
If you are using WEP as a security on your router that is why it won't connect. WEP is so old school and very insecure that Apple has made it so there WiFi cards won't connect to WEP. It might as well be wide open. You can try that. Take all security, WEP/WPA/WPA2, off your router and see if it connects.
If it does then use either WPA or better WPA2. -
I had a case that I drop little juice over my macbook air, I dried it immediately and it keep working fine, as this happen while I am traveling I kept working on it for around two week, it was working fine except that the few key became sticky.
When I back to Jordan I sent it to the authorized support center “ Multivision” in Amman and asked them to help in cleaning the keyboard as it still sticky and I explained to them that the issue and I clarified that all are working fine.
For a two days they didn’t back to me and they answered that they are still checking it, and then after they just called me saying that my macbook is damaged and not working and its better for me to buy a new one!!!
They say that the liquid damaged the main board! I explained to them that this can’t be as it was working fine when I delivered it to them and I didn’t ask them to open it I told them to help in cleaning the keyboard!
I am complaining about this support behavior and they were not cooperative nether polite in communicating.
I am not convinced that the liquid damaged my macbook and I think that the staff at “Multivision” are not qualified and did something wrong to damage my macbook!
I need you help to investigate this issue and have a feedback.Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

I have a Google calendar that is syncing with my iPad and on my MacBook Air. However, the calendar items are not showing up when I access iCloud via the Internet. Any suggestions?
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac. -
Can I use AirPlay on my MacBook Air? I have an iMac, and it works great with Apple TV.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If it's compatible, you have two possibilities:
1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, you will be able to turn on AirPlay on System Preferences > Displays.
2. Keep with OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
Both options work properly -
my macbook air keeps on saying that windows does not support OS X
what do i do?Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
with OS X.
3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
applications without having to install Windows. The
Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -
