My 2011 Macbook Air is telling me it does not support the 10.8.2 software update
My 2011 Macbook Air is telling me it does not support the 10.8.2 software update
Hmm, there are some machines to which the presently available 10.8.2 updates don't apply, but since it's typically the newest ones (from 2012) and the update shows up in your Software Update, it should work on yours.
You may try taking it step by step:
Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/#osxmountainlion and start at the bottom of the list with the 10.8.1 update. If that works, keep working up the list as far as relevant.
If you want to save time and hassle, or you get stuck with 10.8.1 already, follow this routine to re-install the system from the Recovery Partition. You should then get the latest and greatest. Don't forget to first make sure your backup is up-to-date!

I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time. Is this an antenna problem? Or something else ?
Your iphone is right, it is not supported. The iphone's bluetooth protocols do not include file transfer, but are intendes only for headsets, stereo headphones, cars, and keyboards.

I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!
Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for: Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion. -
Why when I am clicking into safari does a message appear telling me that the Safari Browser version I am using does not support the community toolbar ???
You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow these instructions.
If the instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder…
Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
Repeat with this line:
/Applications/Toolbars
Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
/Library
Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site. -
I accidently deleted Safari and now I can't reinstall because it keeps telling me there is a newer version on my computer. The issue is my system does not support the newer version. Does anyone know how I can get around this?
Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone!
I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes. -
Does somebody know how to syncronize an iphone5S within a Macbook 10.5.8 that does not support the lattest version of ITunes?
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
You need to upgrade your OS X before installing the latest version of iTunes. Then you will be able to sync your 5S. -
My Mid-2011 Macbook Air 13-inch (OSX 10.8.1 Mountain Lion) becomes hot to the touch when trying to delete large documents, watching videos after waking it from sleep-mode and when installing applications from the Mac App Store. This has also been happening with OSX Lion before I upgraded it to Mountain Lion.
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
What needed to be done the day that you set up the new Mac was go into the Mac App Store (MAS), sign into your iTunes/MAS Apple ID, go to the Purchases pane and Accept the iLife apps that would have been there in a special section. That would have sent you Mac's unique identifier code to Apple's servers and verified that this Mac was eligible for the bundled iLife suite and then registered these apps into your MAS account.
You might try going to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist, delete the adption plist, restart the Mac and then go to the Purchaes pane and see if you can Accept the apps into your account. -
I want to trade in my old mid 2011 MacBook Air for a new MacBook Pro. After I have transferred my data to the new MacBook Pro, how do I reformat the hard disk to wipe all my data and return it to Factory specifications? Will the built in Lion recovery allow me to do this? I am currently running OS X Yosemite. Has the upgrade to Yosemite damaged or removed the original Lion recovery partition?
Click here and follow the instructions.

My previous MacBook Air running an older operating system synced up just fine with these same projectors using the same minidisplay to vga adapter. My new computer has Airplay on it, and Airplay shows up on my menu bar on the new laptop where the displays icon used to appear. I cannot get the displays icon to display (even when I turn Airplay mirroring off). It used to show up on the menu bar and if I had projector issues I hit "detect displays" and it resolved. None of that appears to be available with the new operating system and Airplay on. I am not sure why.

Macbook Air sees network, IBM PC does not.
My Macbook Air sees and connects to the network no problem.
My PC (IBM Thinkpad) see a bunch of wireless routers in the neighborhood except for my TC.
What am I missing?
Is there a setting in TC (Airport) that makes the network invisible to non Apple computer?I now understand.
My TC radio mode was set to 802.11n only (5 GHz).
My IBM PC is b/g compatible only.
I changed the radio mode to 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) and my IBM now sees my network.
New problem: When clicking on my network, my IBM returns a pop-up window:
"Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks and try conect again".
But the signal is good. -
Macbook Air connected to External Monitor does not fill entire screen
Hello All!
I am having a bit of trouble. I recently purchased a MacBook Air for work, and I bought a Samsung moniter to go connect the Air to when I am in the office. However, when I connect the Air to my moniter the enitre screen doesn't fill up (please see attached pic). Can anyone help?
Much Thanks!UPDATE: I just came back after a visit to the apple service provider here in New Delhi. They have replaced the logic board on my macbook pro and guess what? the situation is still the same. No difference what so ever as far as the screen resolution is concerned. I can still see those black bars in the exact same places i.e. the right hand side as well as on the top of the screen. Even the size of the black bars are still the same.
I am so upset right now. After trying my best in order to solve this problem I went to the AASP with high hopes. I was very confident that after replacing the logic board this annoying problem would go away but unfortunately that's not the case. Even the Apple Engineer was clueless on how to solve this problem.
I think I'll call apple care and speak to the customer relations regarding a replacement.
If any of you can come up with a solution to this problem please let me know.
I'm all ears!!! -
Macbook pro default maximum screen size does not cover the bottom inch
Kind of frustrated by my new macbook pro.
At the bottom of the screen, there's the icon bar (icon dock), which is about inch height. I adjusted it to smaller size, about half inch. This is what I did, not sure if related to my problem.
At the beginning, I thought it was Safari's problem. Later I found all programs has the problem. I'll use Safari as example to describe the problem though.
When I open Safari, it does not expand to the bottom inch of the screen, as if the icon dock prevents it expanding to the icon bar area of original icon bar size (i.e., inch, not half inch I'm using), and as if there was a line at the bottom inch. I click the plus sign (maximum screen), it still leave the inch uncovered. However, if I use full screen modle, Safari would covers the whole screen.
when not in full screen model, I can drag the bottom edge of Safari, but can only drag to the virtual icon bar line (at bottom inch position). When bottom edge is at the virtual line, the drag arrow is single direction pointing to up. However, I could move Safari to lower and cover the bottom inch area (with icon bar on the top), and then drag the top edge to make it cover all screen area.
What makes more annoying is if a new tab automatically opens, Safari will goes to the size with the bottom inch uncovered. This problem does not happen if program runs in full screen model.
I tried a few programs, all have such problem. Looks to me default maximum screen size excludes the bottom inch (because by default that area is supposed to be occupied by icon bar although I changed the size or just simply hide the icon bar).
Anyone know why? How to solve the problem? TIA.called Apple, the solution is:
1, turn on sound
2, shutdown
3, press and hold these four keys the same time: left option, left command, R, and P
4, press and release power button to restart
5, after first starting chime sound, continue hold those four keys
6, after second starting chime sound, release keys
this resets some settings --- not sure what is reset though. -
