MacBook Air: Contacts being picked up when writing emails

I have loaded my Contacts (lots of them, it's business) into my MacBook Air.  When I go to write an email, however, it does not pick up the Contact.  I end up having to find the email address (the search function is hopeless so I have to use the Blackberry) and type it in rather than the name.  It worked fine when I had the Contacts loaded at the Apple Store, but then stopped working at some point.  Can anybody advise?
thanks
Dan

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

  • My MacBook Air was being turned on and overheating itself

    Hello, users
    Today I found my MacBook air was being turned on and heating itself even if I haven't used it since last night.
    I noticed When I tried to use it and put it out from my backpack and I felt weird because my MacBook in the cotten pouch was really hot.
    My MacBook was pulled out immediately, horribly, it was too hot to hold it and I was really surprised!
    As soon as I opened the my Mac, it displayed a cursor shotly and it automatically turned off and after that the fan stopped spinning as well.
    I just got back home and connected with the power supplier, it had only 0% battery.
    This is all I can explain from the beginning to now on.
    This is the first time I have experienced this kind of situation.
    I think I turned off well after using it yesterday and it wasn't heating in this morning.
    I have no idea at all but I guess it would be recent update 2 days ago.
    I don't want to imagine the following event if I didn't check it out before it had gone forever.
    Do I need to check the condition of my MacBook Air all the time?
    Is there any method to prevent this problem?
    By the way, My Mac OS X version is now 10.7.5

  • I'm signed in to my account on my macbook air's apple store, but when I try to update any apps, it has a locked in apple store user which is not mine, any help removing this?

    I'm signed in to my account on my macbook air's apple store, but when I try to update any apps, it has a locked in apple store user which is not mine. I have no idea where this user came from, but I need to update my apps and get this user off my computer. The users email is locked, it is grey in colour and I can not get it off. I've tried my system settings and the app store, logging in does not change the fact that there is a strange email there. I need help, please! I don't know if this is a hack or what, I brought my computer into the shop to get some work done so it may be their account, I just need the account removed.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.

    What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
    In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

  • I can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

    i can't transfer downloaded content from my macbook air to my external hdd, when i try to drag it into the hrd drive it wont go in how do i fix this ?

    What format is the external HDD in? If it's NTFS (= proprietary Windows), then OS X can read it but not write.
    Eventually copy all content from the drive to a safe place, the re-format. FAT32 is the format which both Windows and OS X can read and write.

  • I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
    open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
    highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process.  see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
    screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

  • Macbook air keeps disconnecting from internet when going to sleep mode

    New macbook air keeps losing Internet connection when going into sleep mode. Have tried deleting and re adding network and adding DNS 8.8.8.8 still is disconnecting.
    Also, since Lion update 2 days ago Internet is very sluggish
    HELPPPPPP!!!

    You're not the only one.  See here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3704539?start=0&tstart=0
    The current fix is to turn off sleep mode or use an Ethernet cable.

  • Why has Apple decided that online orders for Macbook Air display and speak VO when first opened from the box? I"m guessing 1%or 2 % of your customers know what it is or want it.

  • My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • How do I know if my macbook air is being backed up in my icloud account

    How do I know if my macbook air is being backed up in my icloud account

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I'm sure that your Mac isn't being backed up on iCloud, because Macs can't be backed up on iCloud (that's for iPhones, iPods touch and iPads).
    If you want to check what's using your iCloud storage, open System Preferences > iCloud > Manage
