  • I changed the password to one of my gmail accounts. My MacBook Air accepts the new password and shows me email, my iPhone 5s tells me it's not a valid password. In settings, I change the password and pw is accepted. How can I get 5s to accept new pw?

    CORRECTION! GMAIL accepts new pw and shows me email. Mail on MacBook Air and iPhone 5s do not accept new gmail pw. What can I do to get my apple products to accept my new gmail pw?

  • Everytime I turn on my MacBook, is required my keychains password.

    Everyitme I turn on my MacBook, is required my keychains password, saying "iCloud.helper wants to use information". It is a really annoying problem. I am also having trouble while activating the iCloud Keychains, after the ID password it says that "The keychains were not activated due to a connection problem with iCloud". My email is not working too, it insists on requiring my password every second. This happened after the latest software update OS X Mavericks. What shoul I do? I am a new MacBook user.

  • My macbook air wont recognize my password after it went to sleep.

    My macbook air wont recognize my password after it went to sleep. Its been hibernating without me putting it to sleep and I have to restart a lot

    Just make sure that when you're typing in your password that the username is right.

  • Macbook air locked out when password changed. is this normal???

    My friend had a macbook air running os x lion. When he changed his password ( while we were air dropping a file ) He decided to lock the mac to see if the password change worked. When he typed in the password the mac would not let him in. He had also put a hint on and there was no hint. He had to restart his mac so that he could login.
    So my question is....
    Is this normal to have this happen because i have a macbook pro and it dose not do that
    Thanks everyone
    Matt

    I can see it, and I know what you mean.
    It is normal, for the reason that Retired Engineer gave in his post. Don't be surprised if after a couple of cycles, the capacity rises to 100%, or near to it. It will go up and down, but slightly more down after a dozen cycles or so. It is completely normal to vary like this.

  • Macbook Air general question

    Ok, guys i have a question which sounds really ridiculous but as a new mac user, i cant stop thinking about it.
    Recently, i just bought my macbook air 13 inch.
    Yesterday, my wife was using it and she constantly used her fingers to drum around the area next to the trackpad and when she drums, she drums hard and i could hear her fingers hitting the aluminium body repeatedly.
    She also used her thumb to hit against the smooth aluminium edge on the area below the trackpad repeadtedly.
    My wife's really rough with my laptop and she did it for almost half the day. Is the Macbook Air's aluminim body able to withstand all these actions or will the trackpad and battery get damaged?
    Sorry for the stupid question and thank tou  for all your feedbacks/answers

    Unless you start denting the case, the internal components will be fine.  No hammers, please. 
    Ciao.
    The only time I dented a MBP is when I dropped a three foot 2" x 4" piece of wood on it.  (very stupid of me).

  • Ipad or Macbook air more questions

    I have an ipad and a iMac G5- intel core duo as host computer. We use airport extreme at home .
    I am considering the purchase of a new ipad 2 or a Macbook air
    My needs are mobility around the house as well as travel, place to up load photos during travel.
    We are retired and travel a good bit.
    My questions are Here:
    My questions for tomorrow night are:
    1. Will backup continue to be dependent on being tethered to the home computer? Will all software upgrades continue to be dependent to go through the host computer? If I have 2i pads where is the separate content (not photos) stored on the host computer.
    2. how would it work with cloud backup storage? any chance for time machine on the ipad?
    3. security issues unique to the ipad while using in public wifi areas?
    4. What is the possibility for the ipad to be scalable as technology changes. Are there functional differences in the apps for a Mac computer and the app store product for an ipad?
    5. Is there a disk utility on the ipad for usual housekeeping such as checking permissions and running a disk utility?

    The iPad will probably continue to need a host computer. But, anything could happen. Each iPad is recognized as unique by iTunes. Each one would have separate syncing preferences and back up.
    2. how would it work with cloud backup storage? any chance for time machine on the ipad?
    You'd need to see if the cloud storage option you're interested in has an iPad app. Dropbox, for instance does. However, cloud storage is not a subsititute for syncing your iPad to your computer. You can't really backup the iPad that way through something like Dropbox. Whether or not Apple ever enables something like Time Machine for the iPad, only Apple knows and they haven't said.
    3. security issues unique to the ipad while using in public wifi areas?
    None that I know of.
    4. What is the possibility for the ipad to be scalable as technology changes. Are there functional differences in the apps for a Mac computer and the app store product for an ipad?
    A Mac and an iPad use completely different OSs. The apps available for both reflect the differences in OS and hardware. You're going to have to look at the features of the apps in which your interested.
    5. Is there a disk utility on the ipad for usual housekeeping such as checking permissions and running a disk utility?
    Not necessary.

  • MacBook Air not accepting new password.

    I updated my MacBook Air to new OS and had to restart system, now its not accepting my password. I went online and reset password a couple of times but still cannot get Mac to accept latest password. Ideas?

    You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
    Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
    Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed).  Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
    Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
    Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.

  • MacBook Air Flashing Question ? Mark Folder - Troubleshooting Help!

    I am trying to figure out a problem for a friend's Macbook Air. Not sure on the year it was manufactured, but it doesn't look to be but 2 or 3 years old. I have no clue what operating system she was running.
    The problem she is having is the flashing question mark folder. I have tried doing a safe boot, but when I hold down shift after powering it off and back on nothing happens. I have tried doing a PRAM reset, it chimes 3 times then goes back to the flashing question mark folder.
    The furthest I have gotten is holding down "alt/command" to see if the system preferences would pop up. But all I get is the option to select a wifi network. So that's something! Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this issue? I would like to have a bit more knowledge before I take it to the apple store. Has anyone ran into it asking for a wifi network instead of being able to boot it? Please advise. Thanks!

    On the bottom of the MBA should be a serial number.  Enter it here and post back the model/year information:

  • Installed new hdd in MacBook Air 2008, question folder and forbidden sign in screen, what to do?

    Hello
    I installed new hard drive to my MacBook Air 2008 and when I try to install lion/snow leopard/ mavericks it won't show up the disk. I can't find the hard drive.
    I don't now what to do. I tried everything. I spoke with a guy in macsupport here in Sweden and he said I have to buy snow leopard and install it from the original dvd in order for computer to format. My computer is old like I said its from 2008. I've never update it or upgrade. This is first time. It laid in storage for three years so I decide it to use it again but hdd was damaged so I had to change it, and now all I get is flashing question folder and forbidden sign, you know the sign for auto traffic.
    Is it true that the only way to restore or to find the new hdd or to boot the question mark and forbidden sign marks by installing osx from its original dvd or buy snow leopard?
    After I spoke with the guy from Mac support, I got little suspicious so I spoke to another one and he told me all I need to do is format hdd with the help of a sata hdd cable with help of another macbook and then I was good to go.
    What do u think?
    Should I buy snow leopard or can I burn it from my sister computer?

    I first would try Target Disk Mode to format and install an OSX on the new storage drive.

    You will need a OSX source that is compatible with the MBA.  If you have the original, use that.

  • Used MacBook Air came with admin password that I cannot change.

    I bought a used MacBook Air that came with an administrator password, and someone's name in the upper right corner, and I cannot change it. He didn't have the password either.

    Here's how to reset the password.  Once in, I would reload Lion and start fresh.

  • Cannot access my mail on my macbook air after changing my password

    I changed my password for my apple id and now I cannot access my gmail or iCloud accounts - even although I have entered the new changed password.
    I am currently using yosemite on my macbook air.

    Hello again - there must have been a time delay in the system since all my accounts (gmail and iCloud) are now working fine.

  • Why doesn't my MacBook Air acknowledge my new password?

    Aloha:
    I just changed my Mac ID password, my table-top machine sees the change ok, but my MacBook Air doesn't respond to the new password.  What might I be doing wrong?

    You may have a defective connection, on a new machine take it back for return/exchange or take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for repair. Also you can contact AppleCare, you have 90 days of free telephone service. They're open M-Saturday so you may need to wait until tomorrow morning.

  • MacBook Air software question.

    hi how do i know if when i **bought** the macbook air was it the OS X Lion or it wasn't and the people in the store updated it?

    I'm a little confused. Did the people in the store show you the computer, demonstrate it for you, and sell you that one, rather than handing you a brand new one in a box?
    A brand new MBA right out of the box would have the software put on it by the "factory" not by the store. The store--we assume--wouldn't open any boxes of new machines and update them. The store, however, might have a demonstration model that was Snow Leopard rather than Lion.
