My macbook air didnt come with ilife

i got a used macbook air from amazon and it didnt come with ilife

Hi,
If you can't get a hold of the instal discs, you can purchase and install the "components" of iLife through the Mac App Store if the MacBookAir is running Snow Leopard. (iMovie iPhoto and GarageBand)
Click the Apple logo top left in your screen then click: About This Mac. If it has Snow Leopard installed it will say: Version: 10.6
If that is the case, the App Store.app should be installed in the Applications folder.

Does macbook air computers come with antivirus protection?

I bought a mac book air 9/2013. Do macbook air computers come with antivirus protection?

Do macbook air computers come with antivirus protection?
Its operating system does. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

I have a new macbook air that comes with iMovie '11 but not iDVD. There seems to be no way for me to burn a DVD. What can I do?

How can I get my project onto a DVD? Why doesn't the computer come with iDVD?

Hi
What's even worse is that Mac Book Air - Do not have any DVD-station at all !
You need a DVD-burner. There are external USB-connected ones.
You need DVD authoring program as iDVD or Roxio Toast@ or Burn (free)
my General notes:
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs (if it has a DVD-burner) - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

Do any Macbook Air models come with a 160GB SSD?

My uncle said he just bought a new Macbook Air and it comes with a 160GB SSD??? I don't see this available on the Apple store website. Is this an option?

No Macbook Airs come with this option. 64, 128 or 256 GB only.

Does the latest MacBook Air OS come with Java Development Kit, version 1.6?

I need to purchase a laptop to use for an online Java class. The website I was given to download JDK 1.6 does not include a download for Mac OS. I have heard that JDK 1.6 is part of Mountain Lion. Can anyone confirm that, and if so, how is it accessed? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Java doesn't come with Mac OS X since the Lion release, so you will have to install Java manually after setting up the MacBook.
You just have to install Java 6 from Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

My macbook pro didnt come with an install disk?

my macbook pro 15inch did not come with an install disk? what should i do?

Macs which come with 10.7 preinstalled don't include install disks. Everything you need is either on Lion's recovery drive or the web.

Do Macbook air (2013) come with mountain lion?

Sorry for asking this question, but I am really confused.
On apple site it shows that Mountain lion is pre installed.
I bought Macbook Air 13" 2013 model.
I was surfing Apple App Store and it shows that Mountain Lion is available for download for Rs 1100.
I am confused that if I already have Mountain Lion then why is App Store showing me option to download it. (I checked OS version : 10.8.4)
Do I need to download it? I alrady have all the features Mountain Lion is supposed to have but why is it showing in App Store?

Do I need to download it?
No, not if it is already installed. OS X 10.8.4 is the latest version.
It will appear in the App Store if you purchased it in the past - to install on another Mac, for example.
If you should ever need to reinstall OS X "Mountain Lion" on your MacBook Air, it can be downloaded and installed again, as often as you may require, without having to pay for it again.

Macbook pro didnt come with CD

i have the OS X 10.8.3 version. Was it supposed to come with a CD? my box only had the laptop, charger etc, a little cloth n booklet thing. I want to reinstall garageband because it seems there are a ton of instruments missing. my only problem is, will i be able to reinstall GB after uninstalling it? also how can i uninstall it? thanks

Nope. No optical discs have been included with new Macs for over a year and a half. They are no longer necessary.
You can reinstall the version of OS X that shipped with your Mac as often as you want, even if you replace its hard disk with a completely empty one. Whatever you purchased from the App Store, including GarageBand, can also be reinstalled as often as you want, and on as many Macs as you own.
To uninstall anything you purchased from the App Store, drag its icon from the Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
To reinstall anything you purchased from the App Store, click the Purchases icon in the App Store, and download it.

Why didnt my recently bought open box macbook pro come with ilife?

I bought an open box macbook pro, and for some wierd reason it didnt come with ilife...can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

I would take it back to Best Buy - 'open box' or not, the machine should have come with the iLife applications. They likley just reinstalled to OS, which does not install the iLife applications. Return it and tell them that you need iLife - it's up to the reseller to prepare the machine correctly for resale.

Does my new macbook air come with ilife (SandyBridge i7)?

Just bought a new mac and was wondering if my new macbook air come with ilife (SandyBridge i7)?
No CD's in the box... Do I just download it from the Appstore?
I thought it would at least come with the Air I just bought...
Thanks in advance...

According to Apple, your new MBA should include iLife: iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. The user guide says they should be on the system. Systems that come with Lion no longer include OS X DVD's.

I got my new macbook pro 2012 but there's no idvd it should come with ilife but i didn't found it how could i install it

Apple no longer distributes iDVD.
1) Buy an old iLife from a place such as e-bay or Amazon. Make sure it is a version that has iDVD. Do not buy it from Apple since their version no longer has iDVD.
2) Try a third party application (none really have the features of iDVD though).
Burn (free) - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html - includes basic DVD authoring but you will definitely have to read the documentation.

Do new macbooks come with iLife 06 or 08???

Now, from the conference today, it sounded like they said all new macs would come with iLife 08, but I go on to purchase the macbook, and see it still says 06.
Am I missing something, or am I wrong, and it does not include macbooks?

I just bought my first mac, a macbook pro, yesterday, at an apple store. The mac came with Tiger pre-installed and a drop-in disc of Leopard. Bundled with the Leopard disc were two other discs: OS disc 1 and 2. I had two install options with the Leopard: upgrade or clean. I chose clean because, well, it was a new computer so I figured there was nothing to save from the older OS. After install, I did not have any ilife features or the iwork trial. After lots of reading of postings on the discussion board, I finally figured out that these did not come w/Leopard as I had expected and that by choosing "clean", I erased the previous ilife versions.
I put in the extra OS disc 1, figured out that these were the Tiger OS discs, then chose bundled install package, selected only the ilife features(iweb, imovie, etc.) and the iwork '08 trial. I wasn't sure what I would get as far as the ilife features...if these would be ilife '08 or not. This install went fast. After install, I opened up the installed ilife applications and they were all ilife '08 versions. My mac was bought in Portland, OR, US.
I've seen all the posts that new macs would come with ilife '08 installed, and assumed that meant it would be there as part of the Leopard install. As a newbie to mac, I didn't really get what all this meant. I hope this clarifies for new mac users how to handle the Leopard/new mac/ilife '08 issue.

My mac didn't come with ilife? What do I do?

Sign on to the App Store. You should find it there under the Purchased tab. Click the install button to download.

Mac didn't come with iLife!

I just bought my MacBook Pro on Sunday from Virgin Megastores and it didn't come with iLife and I did my research and it says that it should have come with it! What should I do? Should I take it back and tell them that it didn't come with it? Because now it's making me pay for each of them and they're really expensive!

If Virgin promised to include what used to be the iLife apps, they should have given you a code which you then enter in the App Store to download and install the apps free of charge. So, you might want to contact them again, indeed.
