You cannot. Your best course of action is to immediately change all your internet passwords, notify the police and your insurance company. Send the remote wipe command to the MBA through iCloud.com and buy a new one from the insurance reimbursement.

Hello!
Can anyone teach me how to connect iphone 4S to ipad retina using bluetooth. I tried, but the devices won't discover each other at all. I just wanted to connect to share contact details so I don't have to key in one by one.
Many thanks
InjinYou need to go to the App stores and find compatible apps. iOS device do not natively have to ability to transfer info to a computer via BT to a computer.
With iOS 8 you can use AirDrop -

my mac book air has a virus which is creating a lot of issues...how do i get rid of it? is there a free software to detect it and remove it?
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
Hi!, my Mac Book Air has been totally hacked, and I cannot re/install my OSX because they have also hacked my Internet, so I cannot connect my Mac to the Internet. Any suggestions to fix my poor Mac Book Air????????????
HELP..........It's best to describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible, rather than what you think is causing it or how you think it should be solved.

I tried to install up date 3.6.13 and received error message that I didn't have the system permissions required to install it. I am the administrator on my Mac Book Air? Any ideas how to resolve this?
* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data. -
How do I check if my mac book air has a virus?
How do I check if my mac book air has a virus? I was online and something started downloading, I closed it and put it in the trash but not sure if that is enough to get rid of it? Thanks
1) Did it finish downloading? if no, you have nothing more to worry about.
2) Are you using Safari?
3) If using Safari, do you have Safari set to run/open any files automatically?
4) Is your system updated with the latest security update? If not, why?
The bottom line is whether the download was able to install anything.
As long as your settings are such that no download is able to automatically open, and you ae up to date on your security updates, then you haven't much to worry about.
Be familiar with the programs in your application folder, such that you would notice anything not supposed to be there. As well, check and make sure that nothing unknown is being launched at startup (check your account settings).
The absolute best security a Mac can have is an aware and familair user who is moderately vigilant. -
We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old one. How can we lose this and make the new router the default?
Go to "Network" under system preferences and choose "advanced"
On the Wi-Fi tab you can sort the sequence of the preferred connections.
Then just move your new router to the top of the list. -

All contacts have disapppeared from my iPhone, my mac book air and my new iMac. How do I get back. I assume it has something to with iCloud. Thank you.
Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.

I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?
Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives. -
5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.
There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download. -
HT1338 my mac book air has just started beach balling constantly WHY
I purchased a new 13" Macbook Air with max everything last August. Love it although have had some issues and needed a new hard drive after it just continually crashed in around October. Have now been finding that it beachballs. I have no idea what has brought this on. I have made sure updates all installed, cleared safari cache and updated all apps. I am at a loss. It is so frustrating. Cannot open multiple pages on Safari - once you open the 2nd page it just slows down and continually has the ball there and cannot do anything but wait. Am really over it. Any ideas? By the way I am NOT an amazing computer nerd and so need everything spelled out for me!! Please help!
Top right of your screen is Spotlight (looks like a magnifying glass). Click on it and type
Activity Monitor
and press 'return'. You'll get something that looks like this:
Choose 'All Processes' from the dropdown menu on the right hand side of the window, then do two things: click on the tab that says %CPU, twice if necessary, so that the arrow is pointing down as in the screenshot. Secondly, click on 'System Memory' in the tabs near the bottom of the window.
OK, what do you see? Answer these questions:
1. Is there something near the top of that list of processes that is using 40% CPU or more?
If so, what is it? If it's not a process you've started (like copying a DVD or something) then click on it, and choose the red 'Quit' button. You may need to choose Force Quit and enter a password. After doing that, wait a few seconds, does the process reappare in the window, just like before or stay gone?
2. Is that little pie chart mostly green, as in my shot, or mostly red, blue or yellow? -
MY Macbook air keeps starting in "safe boot" mode, no idea why. I cannot get into the system because this mode makes everything write in capital letters and my password is in lower case. I keep turning it off and on but nothing changes and i cannot access my computer. Please can someone help me? Thank you
I'm not getting a clear picture at all of what problems you're seeing. If you are seeing online accounts have their passwords changed, those accounts are being hacked. Someone may already have access to some account and is using that access to reset passwords on other accounts. Change the password on EVERY online account you have. Be sure to use a strong password, and don't use the same password on more than one site.
If you are seeing changes to your bookmarks and browser history, your Apple ID may be one of the accounts that has been hacked. After changing the password on your Apple ID, you need to lock it down with two-factor authentication:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5570
Beyond that, we will need additional details about what specific symptoms you're seeing in order to help further. One thing I can say, though, is that these problems are very unlikely to be due to any kind of malware. See my Mac Malware Guide to learn more on that topic. -
I purchased am Iphone 4S from ebay. Sellers daughter restored Iphone but didnt remove password. He sent me the password but after entering it a few times after I had already previous tried passwords before I reached him now I have reached the disabled screen and now have the correct password but am unabke to use it due to disabled screen. It is not synced with my Itunes so I am not able to go that route. If anyone else has any other suggestions please lead me.
If you get locked out of your phone with an incorrect passcode, then the only way is to do a restore and for that you need to connect it to iTunes and that is it. No other way to go.
