My macbook air refuses to sync with a lot of projectors,,,please help ..will updating it to mountain lion os solve the problem

My wife has a MacBook Air that is currently running Lion. However, it's original 80 Gig 4800 rpm hard drive was replaced with a SSD from OWC. It's performance with Lion is acceptable.
If your MacBook Air had the optional SSD, you may also find that the Lion performance will be acceptable.
You should make an external hard drive backup before uprading. You could also do a trial install of Lion on the external beforehand.

It is true that older software written for the PowerPC platform will not run in Lion, as Rosetta is not available. However, there are increasingly newer versions of software that won't run in Snow Leopard. See: http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a

Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

Hey bishopcheen,
Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
Thanks,
Matt M.

MacBook Air will not sync with icloud

my macbook air will not sync with my icloud account.
I have tried reseting the i cloud preferences and have trashed the calender caches
still does not sync.

If you haven't already done so, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac and go back and sign back in. This deletes the iCloud account and iCloud data (if any) from your Mac but not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.

TS4006 my iCal in my new MacBook Air doesn't sync with the iCal data in my iPad despite having it "checked" (ON) in the system preferences iCloud. what else do i have to do to activate the iCal and have sync with my iPad?

Issue: iCal
I can't sync the iCal in my new MacBook Air with the existing iCal in my iPad. I went to system preferences (settings) to iCloud and checked the iCal to enable it to sync to my existing iPad iCal. Still nothing happened. It's strange because i successfully synced my contacts doing the same thing. Is there anything I have to have my iCal activated in my new MacBook Air?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Macbook air isn't syncing with imac/iphone

i have a macbook air (O SX Lion 10.7.5), an imac (O SX 10.9.1), and an iphone (7.0.6 iOS). they are all synced using the icloud, but this isn't working properly on the macbook air.
the air receives email like the other two devices, but doesn't show items sent from the other two in its sent box.
the air also doesn't sync the diary at all.
the contacts sync perfectly well.
trouble is some things are syncing, others aren't.
also i have a real problem with 'notes' on the imac, which makes multiple copies every 10 seconds, and isn't syncing with anything.
notes show up in 'mail' on the macbook air, but in separate 'notes' software on the imac and iphone, which is much preferred to having it in mail.
i wonder if these small glitches are all being caused by the same problem - any ideas anyone?
thanks very much,
emma.

Have you checked all your settings.
Have you tried logging out of iCloud and back in again.

MacBook Air Won't Sync with iPhone

Hi guys,
I've been fumbling around with this all weekend and way hoping someone could help. I have TWO macbookairs and TWO iPhones between my wife and myself.
My wife's iPhone and MBA sync perfectly between calendars and reminders. Check.
Also, if I add something to MY iPhone it syncs perfectly with her iPhone and MAR. Check.
If I put something on my iPhone it syncs perfectly with my MBA. Check.
HOWEVER, if i make changes or additions to my calendar or reminder on my MBA it does NOT sync on my iPhone OR on my wife's MBA / iPhone.
In other words, changes go IN to my MBA by not OUT.
It took me a while to isolate the problem (wasted lots of time opening ports). but think it is now somewhat defined.
Any ideas what the cause of this could be and how to fix it?
KR,
Wynn

Hey, finally found the specific error message and managed a solution. If anyone has this problem in the solution what I did was:
* Go to System Settings - iCloud. Turn off Calendar and Reminders
* Restart Computer
* Go back to System Settings - iCould. Turn on Calendar and Reminders.
Yeah, that was it. Nothing else. Fun weekend.

My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

Can I use my Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with plugging charger even at 100 % battery full charge?

I can't decide whether using My Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with charging power adapter connected even though it is fully charged Or using Macbook Air with unplugging charger after fully charged. Please advice me to maintain my Macbook's battery at good condition.

It will not hurt it as long as you do not leave it on the charger for an extensive period of time (say, days).

My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore? It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
I checked out most of the blogs and everything and have removed widgets from the notification center, but everything seems to run kinda slowly.
Sure, i have the base model 2014 macbook air but that 4 gb ram should run a freakin finder just fine. I had Mavericks installed before, and with that, i could do everything. I even made cool music in GarageBand and nothing was lagging for me. Now i installed Yosemite... Everything is lagging. Scrolling seems like it happens around 10 FPS. That aint good man. Memory cleaner says around 1gb ram free when only the finder is running in the background (before it did around 2). I just uninstalled Memory Cleaner o I'm not looking at that little amount of memory. I don't know what to do now? I would appreciate it, if someone would help me. Otherwise, ill just wait for a new update.

Since it's new I would take it back for repair or exchange under your warranty before bothering to read further.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

MacBook Pro won't sync with other devices

My MacBook pro won't sync with other devices in the house. My iPad and iPhone sync OK but MacBook won't for some reason. Can you help?

Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out

How to send a video from a macbook air to a tv with dnla

how to send a video from a macbook air to a tv with dnla ?without apple tv
macbook air with os mountain lion
thank you

Do you have an Apple TV. In which case AirPlay or if your Mac is too old, Eric Root's AirParrot suggestion.
If no Apple TV, then a miniDisplay Port to HDMI adaptor and an HDMI cable (a Thunderbolt to HDMI adaptor is really the same as a miniDisplay Port to HDMI adaptor).
