My macbook air doesnt have iMessage. How do i download this application?

My macbook air doesnt have iMessage. The apple website says it should be on here but it isnt. How do i download this application?

Messages was released in the summer of 2012, with the 10.8 (Mountain Lion) version of the Mac operating system. If you got your MBA before that and haven't upgraded the OS, it won't be there.
You can upgrade to the latest OS version (Yosemite) for free from the Mac App Store, and that will include Messages.
Hope that helps

  • LCD projector to MacBook Air - I have thunderbolt, how do I connect these two machines?

    I purchased an IPEVO Ziggi HD, how do I use this with LCD projector? I have MacBook Air which has thunderbolt and HDMI...

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • HT1229 i need to back- up my photos from my MacBook air to my iPad- how do i do this?

    HT1229 did not help me-
    does any one know how to back up the photos on my computer to my iPad?

    you can not really - you can sync lower quality versions to your iPad - you need an external hard drive and run Time Machine
    You can move copies to the iPad using PhotoStream - but that is not really a backup

  • The sound on my macbook air isn't working how can i fix this

    i was on line and i went to watch a video and the sound wasnt working and it still wont work everything is on but its not working out

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Some times simply quitting any and all sound Apps (iTunes, QuickTime, any audio player) restarting often solves the problem.  An SMC reset might also work.
    If the laptop went to sleep with headphones or external speakers plugged into the headphone jack loss of audio on wake can result. In future do not sleep with headphones or speakers attached.

  • How do I remove pictures in the photo library from my iphone 5? I have a MacBook Air and have transferred pictures to iphoto.

    How do I remove pictures in the photo library on my iphone 5?  I need the space to download iOS 7.0.2. I have a MacBook Air and have transferred  pictures from my iphone to iphoto.

    Photos in the ?Camera Roll can be deleted by tapping on Select, then selecting the photos to be deleted and finally tapping on Trash.
    Photos in albums that were copied to the device by syncing with your computer running iTunes are deleted by syncing again. But before clicking on Apply or Sync deselect the no long wanted albums in iTunes. Finally click on Apply.

  • I have lock my MacBook air for everyone. How can I unlock it?

    I have lock my MacBook air for everyone. How can I unlock it?

    If you do it only for your user, you can try resetting permissions > http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    If this doesn't work, open Disk Utility from Recovery (if you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, pressing Command and R keys while your Mac is starting) or the Mac OS X DVD (if you have Snow Leopard or older, pressing C key while your Mac is starting), select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions.
    If this doesn't work, reinstall Mac OS X

  • Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. Right now, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. Any suggestions?

    Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

    7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion.  Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html.  Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac

  • Macbook Air and iPad iMessage not working

    After getting a new iPhone, iMessage no longer works on my iPad and Macbook Air. Advice on how to fix? Thanks!

    See this page about the reccomended networking settings for AirPlay. It is most likely due to your router.

    my macbook air doesnt show airplay mirroring need a help

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring needs OS X Mountain Lion or later > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 Your MacBook is compatible, so you have two options:
    1. Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar.
    2. Keep Lion and use an app like AirParrot or Beamer to mirror your MacBook Air's display to the Apple TV
