My MacBook Air is asking me for a pin code

Why my mackbook air is asking me for a pin code?

Enter the PIN code that the user used to lock the device originally, using Find My Mac to have done so.
Alternatively, go to an Apple Store to have it unlocked. Be prepared to prove the unit belongs to you. As the PIN code feature is designed for owners to thwart thieves who have stolen a device.

My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

It has been remotely locked by the owner, or by someone who knows the owner's Apple ID and password.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that. Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese. You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless. It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts: option + n, then o gives you õ.
The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard. But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
You may prefer to stay with the US layout. On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears. Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

One of these should work, depending on the projector. Just note both will not allow you to play protected movies on the projector.

I have started migration système to transfert from hold Macbook pro to New MacBook air application starter successfully for several hours. But since more than 3 hours I got the message transferring Time zone paramètres with time left less than 1 minute.

Hi
I have started migration système to transfert from hold Macbook pro to New MacBook air
Application starter successfully for several hours.
But since more than 3 hours I got the message "transferring Time zone paramètres " with time left less than 1 minute.
Any recommendation or suggestion to solve it ?
Many tanks

If it has run for 3 hours it's probably done and you can quit Migration Assistant and reboot the new computer. In the future rather than using Migration Assistant I would recommend using Startup Assistant which tends to be a bit more reliable and does not create a new user account as MA does. If you're interested here is an article explaining Setup Assistant tips.

My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Thank you.

My Macbook air flash had gone for a month and I saw Apple's Macbook air flash storage drive replacement program. I'm not sure whether that program is still available for the broken device or not. Now, I'm booting from the external hard drive. Warranty has gone in October 2013..
I want to send back my macbook air back to apple store. The problem is that I bought it from US and now, I'm using it in Myanmar. If the program is free of charge for my device, it's worth trying to send back to US. Since mine is broken, I'm afraid Apple will take charges for reparing.
So, if anyone having the same problem as me, I would like to get suggestion....
Thank you!!

I have no idea about how to handle the international aspect of your question.
But here is the Apple writeup about the problem and the remedy. Maybe that will help you.

Would an 11" MacBook Air be more ideal for travelling purposes I.e backpacking?

Would an 11" MacBook Air be more ideal for travelling purposes I.e backpacking?

The most ideal yes, however you MUST use a cushion device to prevent your LCD from recieving pressure AND you must buy a waterproof bag etc to prevent it from getting wet in rain and bad humidity if backpacking outdoors.
Why your MacBook Air needs a warm coat too
While you should never store your notebook in a cold car for any significant time (couple hours or more), in cases where a notebook is being carried thru cold weather in a case, having a padded and zippered (not just a sleeve!) case is very important not just to protect your Macbook from a shock from being bumped or accidentally dropped, but for thermal protection. In coming in from a cold walk or environment, an unprotected and cold notebook is subject to condensation forming not only on the alloy casing but more importantly on internal parts and the logic board which is to be avoided at all costs. Namely when turned on and the fan kicks on and blows warm air around the cold logic board condensation can form and in worst cases either eventually produce a fault or lead to compounded problems where corrosion forms inside your Macbook.
For transporting in the cold, your notebook needs more than a sleeve, rather a padded / insulated carry case to prevent temperature fluctuation from causing condensation.
Extreme climate conditions that call for more than a simple notebook carry bag
For exotic travel, college campuses where distances between buildings in very rainy climates must be made, or in which one may have to travel any distances thru harsh snow, ice, or heavy rains, most all conventional carry bags designed for laptops are very inadequate. Such zippered or snapped bags both do not keep out very high humidity and do not protect much from a deep soaking in what is most often a cloth notebook bag.
Skyward facing zippers on most notebook bags are poor protection from water. Consider one of several options, that being a waterproof hard-plastic case designed for notebooks, or a waterproof rugged bag or case specifically designed to keep out harsh humidity and water. In the case of very thin watertight weather bags, these can often be used inside your existing notebook carry bag.
Watertight pouches, sealing weather bags, and plastic hard-cases to keep out extreme elements, rain, and humidity from reaching your notebook

I would like to reset my iPhone but it has asked me for a restriction code I have never set one and I have tried everything I can think of I was wondering if there was a specific code ????

Help me I have been trying to restore my iphone back to original settings an very time I try it asked me for a restriction code I have never set a restriction code and was just wondering if they were all the same for every iPhone please could someone help me

- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:
How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
Some other uses have experienced a Restructuions passcode just appearing out of thin air. Try passwords you use on the iPhone.

HT1620 Why is it asking me for a pass code and I didn't set one?

Why is it asking me for a pass code and I didn't set one up. This never happen before when I updated to the most recent IOS on my Ipad2?

It is most likely asking for your Apple ID password, but that is just a guess.
Then again as KarenSelena says if someone set a passcode without actually telling you (maybe a Settings -> General -> Restrictions passcode), that might be why you are getting a passcode request.

The "backup password" refers to a password you created when you elected to encrypt your iPhone's backup. If you cannot remember the encryption password, you will not be able to access the backup.

I have an older version of photoshop and now it its asking me for and unlock code.

I have an older version of photoshop and now it is asking me for an unlock code to view my pictures.. I did that years ago when I first started using it and have not had a problem. I am trying to get pics onto a flas drive or online photoshop and it is not letting me. Any one have any suggestions?

Photoshop files and any image files are stored on your hard drive, not in the program. You can get to the files on your file manager just by searching.
As for the "unlock code" that would most likely be the serial number. What version of Photoshop are you running? You would have to find the package it came in. If by chance you registered your copy with Adobe, it should be under your account.

HT4145 I'm trying to hook up a desk top and it's asking me for network security code i have a apple router

I called the help desk from the phone company they sent me to my router owner which is an apple its asking me for network security code where do ii find this

If you still have the box and instruction manual for your Apple router then pull it out. Find the part of the manual that tells you how to do a factory reset of the router and follow the instructions to do so. Once it restarts, then start at the beginning of the manual and follow the instructions carefully. They will tell you how to install AirPort utility on your computer, and then how to connect to and configure the settings on the router.
When setting up your router's wireless settings, make sure to choose a network name with no spaces (e.g. "MyRouter"), choose "WPA2 Personal" security, and then type in a strong passphrase (twice). Make your passphrase at least 10 characters and reasonably complex (e.g. "MyR0uter!sVery5ecure").
Once you have made the settings, and saved them (per the manual), then you should see your new network name show up as an available network from your computer. Select the network, type in the wireless passphrase, and it should connect.
