My macair
Why my macAir says this : You can’t move items to the Trash because the Trash is currently being emptied. What is wrong with my computer? I can't even drag my file to the trash.
To follow the steps below your user must be an administrator
Open Terminal and issue
sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
when prompted for the password, type in your user password.
The command above will remove the Trash folder. Don't worry, that folder will be automatically created as soon as you put something into the trash bin.

I could read Burmese font with Zawgyi Font in my previous Mac Book with Lion. I have MacAir Retina display with MountainLion and could not read Burmese fonts. Font books have 3 fonts for Burmese font and all are enable. Please help

What are the names of those fonts? Have you downloaded and installed the special Zawgyi font?
What is it exactly that you cannot read? Can you provide the url? -
I would like to delete the whole set of mails from my Macair. I am using Icloud account
I'm glad you got it figured out. So many times people on this forum sit around waiting for help when they could have retraced their steps, like you did, to figure out the source of the problem.

In my Apple Macbook Air, most of the USB Flash/Thumb Drives are not shown in the Finder Window. Only a few Brands of USB /Flash Thumb Drives are shown or compatible or shown in the Finder. How do I use any Flash/Thumb Drive with my Apple MacAir?
Yes, junker thumb drives pour like rain in the market.
Which makes are working on your Air, and which arent?
Stick to Sandisk and a couple of other reliable mfg. of memory sticks -
I have a MacAir, mid 2011 model, and want to view video on my TV. I see that I need a mini display port to Hdmi but there are many of these. What exatly do I need and how does one go about viewing a movie downloaded to the MacAir on a TV screen?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video -
How to connect a DELL screen (DVI-D) to MacAir via Thunderbolt
Hello,
can one connect a DELL screen (DVI-D) (eg Ultraslim S2230MX) to a MacAir via the Thunderbolt outlet using a
Mini DisplayPort to-DVI-Adapter ? Does anyone have experience with such a combination?
Many thanks, WernerThe Thunderbolt to DVI adapter does not discrimate what monitor is connected to it via DVI.
So yes, you can connect your Dell monitor to your MBA using the adapter. -
How do I manage the transferral of iTunes content from a PC to a MacAir?
I've made a real mess of my iTunes libraries. Anyway . . .
I've had iTunes on my Asus desktop for more than three years, accumulating more than a thousand "song" titles (music of all kinds but also lectures, articles, sermons, readings), a couple of hundred movies and videos, a couple of hundred audio books, etc.
One problem is that I added to this latest iTunes library by adding files from here and there, hither and yon, not keeping all of the content actually in the iTunes subfolder. For example, there were a hundred or more lecture files that were in C:\Users\Guy\Downloads\Audio, hundreds of music files in a subfolder in C:\Temp\iPod Transfers.
When I began to suspect my Asus desktop was going to flake out on me, I copied the entire iTunes folder onto an external hard drive (I also backed up my documents, photos, scans, etc.) And sure enough, three nights later, my Asus stopped working.
At first, I thought I'd buy a new desktop. But then I realized the MacBook Air 11 inch (1.3 Ghz, 4 MB RAM, 256 GB SSD, running OS X Yosemite) I bought last year, I actually use only once or twice every two to three weeks. I thought I could use the Air to replace my old Asus. Love the Air . . . with half the RAM of the Asus desktop and half the processor speed, the Air actually runs better than the Asus. However, it does have one BIG limitation: a 256 GB SSD--largest I could get at the time--which is, of course, unexpandable. So I thought I would put all the BIG stuff--videos (including movies and TV shows), music, lectures, sermons, audiobooks--on an external hard drive and "point" iTunes on the MacAir to the folder. The current iTunes folder from the Asus desktop is about 100 GB all by itself.
I'm also finding that a lot of my audiobooks, lectures, sermons, and music were scattered about on my old Asus' hard drive and not in the iTunes folder itself (fortunately, while I was backing up other folders from my Asus, I also grabbed subfolders containing many of the music, lecture, audiobook, and video files).
I then did what the Apple bulletin said to do: started iTunes (12.0.1.26) with the Option key pressed; clicked on "Choose iTunes Library"; then found and chose the iTunes folder on my external hard drive. But I have "lost" much of the content. iTunes acts as if it doesn't exist, but the files are there on the external drive. I've even tried "adding files" and pointed to the files on the external drive. That doesn't seem to work. iTunes on my MacAir seems to be using the iTunes.itl file to locate stuff, but the ITL file is from the old Asus, and it is "remembering" locations on my old (and now dead) Asus.
Can this problem be fixed?
And while we're at it . . .
In the past, I installed iTunes on two other computers (I won't try to explain the complicated rationale--why I was doing this), and I found iTunes folders from those computers on other portable drives. Is it possible to combine the contents of those iTunes media folders with the current iTunes folder on my MacAir?
If we can't deal with the latter problem, I'll not be bothered. I really MUST get the iTunes media from my Asus available to iTunes on my MacAir.Hi Mr Magu,
I found this trying to do the same thing with Photoshop Layers in InDesign. This Adobe forum thread helped me: https://forums.adobe.com/message/5676211 with a bit of luck it helps you too (If you're still looking for an answer, I see this is fairly old thread).

I am totally worried I am going ot lose all my data after trying to install update on MacAir. Cannot do anything error message saying panic ....."Unablet o find driver for this platform."
Hi Guys
No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution. -
My MacAir( 2011 dec ) fan is roaring wen heavy apps(Win7 via VMWare) are running. I also have a crystal cover but its well grooved for the heat exhaust.
Does anybody have the same experience ? Upgrading to 8GB RAM will solve it ? Is it possible to upgrade Mac Air RAM ?My MacAir( 2011 dec ) fan is roaring
You ARE running Lion, aren't you?
Does anybody have the same experience ?
No. Never noticed that on my MacBook Air. Try removing it from the case temporarily just to see if you notice a difference. -
I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks
Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple. -
We have three computers in the house (iMac, MacAir and the new MacAir I just received) in addition to 2 iPhones and 2 iPads. 2 Macbook Pros are no longer in use (both crashed before home sharing could be deauthorized) but now I have reached my maximum device allowance (5), even though only 2 computers are currently active. How can I reset the authorized computer numbers?
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
Open iTunes on a computer
From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required. -

Can I edit photos on my iMac Photo Library from my MacAir?
Hi! I have an iMac and a MacAir. I have shared my library, but can not edit photos. I then shared the whole computer to the laptop and no good. It says it is locked, on a locked drive, or I don't have permission to edit it. I originally had two photo libraries, one on each, then I took the smaller library and uploaded it to the iMac. I have a Time Capsule, but use it only to back up the iMac (why? because I am not too skilled with this Mac stuff). In the end, I want to be able to sit on my sofa and edit photos at night from a laptop. Help Please!
More info - I have access to both computers, though I have the App Store hooked up to two different IDs (mine and my husbands), does that matter? If I buy Appeture I would need to buy it on both the iMac and the MacAir in this case? Any help is good!If you use Screen Sharing you can run iPhoto on the iMac's library from your Mac Air just as if you were on the iMac itself. Even dropouts wouldn't hurt as they would only show up a momentary curser lapses because everything was being performed on the iMac.
However, I am able to do everything but edit photos even though I'm logged in as the admin user for the Mac. Give it a try and see if you can make it work. Here's what I have setup under sharing:

I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?
Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228), go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome
