MacBook Air has built in apps but can you reinstall without paying?

MacBook Air has built in apps but unable to reinstall without paying. How to reinstall deleted apps?

I agree.  I received a macbook air late 2010 for Christmas.  It says it come with iLife however none of the apps were installed and it says it's $4.99 for garage band.  How can I get back what the computer originally came with?

  • My macbook air has a black sreen, I can hear the apple chime when power is pressed but is stuck on black screen

    My Macbook Air has black screen, I can hear the apple chime when power is pressed but is stuck on this black screen.
    Also had beeps, 3 beeps was able to stop doing command/alt...
    What is going on???

    3 Beeps on POST usually indicates a memory problem.
    You will need to take it in for service, as you can't even so much as re-seat the memory on an Air.

  • I have a brand new Macbook Air with latest Mountain Lion but can't install Adobe Flash Player it continually times out?

    I have latest version of Mountain Lion on brand new MacBook Air but can't install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe website as it always times out with error message...?

    OK...I have tried to download from:
    get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    It tells me that the Adobe Flash Player is version 11.5.502.146
    Intel based Macs
    Browser: Safari, Firefox, Opera
    I click Download now (I don't have any antivirus software running or a firewall)
    The screen then changes to say:
    Thankyou your download will commence immediately...
    Then I get a nes screen with message:
    Request Timeout
    The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.

    selecting
    Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
    Flash Player 11 for Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
    The same thing then happens...Thank you. Your download will start immediately...then about 20 secs later

  • HT204291 macbook air - airplay works in iTunes but can't mirror computer?

    Airplay doesn't show up in the Menu bar, only in Itunes.  Is there anything I am doing wrong? (Showing mirroring options when available is checked in Displays in System preferences) Just cant get it to show up.  I purchased my Macbook air in Mid 2011, maybe its too old of a model?

    Go to About this Mac - more info to verify it's mid-2011

  • My built in webcam has stopped working on Skype following an update. Does this mean my macbook air has blocked videochat on skype? How can I fix this problem?

    Hi, my built in webcam has stopped working on Skype following an update. Does this mean my macbook air has blocked videochat on skype? How can I fix this problem?

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX:  
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    If that doesnt pass,
    Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

  • Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air or install any app

    Hello, i can't open any apps on my macbook air. when i am attempting it says "you may need to reinstall app but when i am trying to reinstall it doesn't do anything. i can only browse right now. It happened right after when i deleted some files i was trying to uninstall the useless app and i think i accidently deleted some system files. Right now it is letting me to download the app but i cannot install any of the app or even open any application. please help

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

  • My MacBook Pro has 10.5.8 but came with 10.5.7 install disc and won't boot up and can't reinstall

    My MacBook Pro has 10.5.8 but came with 10.5.7 install disc and won't boot up and can't reinstall.
    the disc is spinning and I see the apple on the screen with the spinning gear and after a while it just turns off OR the few times it does get past that point when I go into disc utility it tells me that it can not install on this machine!
    It's driving me crazy, please help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I'm not entirely sure I follow you here, home sharing comes with iTunes 10.2, so far as I am aware even iTunes 10.6.1 only requires OS X 10.5.8 or better. On that basis I'm not sure why you think you have a problem.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
