My passport is not read by mac air.

mac air doesn't pick up my passport and so cannot back up.
my passport is reasonably new and has worked many times before.

check if the mac detects the drive in the Disk Utility app (use spotlight to find the app). If so, select "repair this drive".
If it doesn't show up on disk utility, try on other Macs and PCs, and see if it shows as well. if it doesn't, the drive has a hardware or internal software issue and needs physical repair.

    just tryed to down load movie from Itunes, took 5-hrs, I was billed, however, the movie is not on my mac air

    As has been suggested make an account in the App store, then you should be able to download them as the machine will be recognised as coming with iLife11 although I'm not sure though what happens if someone registed the mac before hand with another account . It seems like the iMac was wiped and they were not re-installed again before it was sold on. If you have no luck talk to Apple and explain the situation, they should be able to help you.

  • FaceTime worked not working on Mac Air

    FaceTime is not working on Mac Air version 10.9.4. Was working fine before. When logging in with Apple ID it will not Verify. Seems like it is corrupt. I can't reinstall app because when I throw it in the trash I get a message "FaceTime can't be modified or deleted because its required by OS X".

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the OS X 10.9 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • My notes from ipad or iphone sync but not to my mac air?

    my iphone and ipad sync my notes but mac air doesnt

    The templates are stored locally.  If you want to move a template then you can open the tempate on the machince where they already exist, then save as a file (let's say on you desktop), then email, or move (using a flash drive) to the Mac mini.
    Open the file on the mac mini and save as a template.
    I do not have Numbers on an iOS device so I cannot say how to get it to your iphone.  I would think you can share the document using iCloud then open from iCloud on the phone and save as a template.

  • Wifi not working on mac air windows 7

    i cant get connected to internet after installing window 7 on my new macbook air no wi-fi bars in the tray,any help will do

    Have you installed the Windows support software?
    If not, restart your Mac, hold the Option (Alt) key while your Mac is starting and choose your OS X volume.
    After starting up, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities), press Continue, and tick only the option to download the Windows support software. Then, follow its steps to burn it into a USB drive.
    When it has finished, restart in Windows, access to your USB drive from Windows Explorer and run the installer. Your drivers will be installed, and after a simple restart, you will have Wi-Fi

    Thanks

    Not a big shock actually. There's a Lion FAQ on the Adobe website with all known issues.

  • USB Barcode Scanner (Adesso) not reading on Mac Mini

    My friend bought an inexpensive USB bar-code scanner (Adesso Nuscan 1000U), which they said should work fine in OSX, to use on his Intel Mac Mini, running Leopard 10.5.4.
    Model Name: Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MM21.009A.B00
    SMC Version: 1.19f0
    Serial Number: YM7309F0YL2
    After plugging the scanner directly into his computer, it was acknowledged to be an "non-standard" keyboard...
    - the "Keyboard Setup Assistant" window popped up, and he hit continue (instead of closing the window)
    - "Identifying Your Keyboard" came up, and he had hit "z" on his main keyboard (a mistake, he knows now)
    - said scanner will not "print scanned data to screen" as it ought to
    - scanner "goes to sleep" after it scans it's first barcode - does not 'wake' until unplugged and re-plugged into Mini. Never does this on other machines.
    - scanner works perfectly on three other Macs running Leopard (same version on all four machines), both Intel and G4 based
    - I have repeatedly trashed the "com.apple.keyboardtype.plist" file in hopes of re-setting his computer to read this device properly, with no luck - but each time it's trashed and we plug in the scanner it pops up the "Keyboard Setup Assistant" window, which we simply close... like on the other test machines.
    I know it's not the scanner itself, as it works fine on all other systems with the same OS. We had simply skipped the "Identifying Your Keyboard" prompts and closed those windows and the device merrily scans barcodes and prints them to any text window - as it should.
    Is there a chance that some difference in the Mini hardware would somehow not allow this device to work properly with it? I'm completely stumped. Thanks for any assistance!!
    -ant.

    Not to be rude or contrary, but if you read my entire posting, the same unit (usb scanner) works successfully on at least three other machines with different processors running Leopard.
    To further elaborate:
    • manufacturer has been contacted and in touch - they have no idea why it doesn't work on mini
    • no software or drivers - none needed for all the other machines
    • my workaround (deleting .plist file) did nothing except prompt
    the computer to ask me what kind of keyboard device it was (none)
    Thanks for the effort... and the welcome.

  • Will not read Office:Mac disc

    After reading that the new Intel-based Macs will run MS Office for Mac, I tried to install it onto my new MacBook Pro. However, the disc drive will not even recognize the disc. The drive will make strange struggling noises before spitting the disc back out.
    I have used the disc 2x before on PowerPC-based Macs... there is one product key still available and I'm positive that there is nothing wrong with the disc.
    Any suggestions?

    Applechique --
    Welcome to Apple Discussions !!
    One thing to check first . . .
    Did you uninstall (not just trash) your MS Office Test Drive?
    I believe the Demo?Test Drive came installed on your new MacBook.
    I think there is an uninstaller in the Office folder.

  • Charger not working on mac air

    I have a charger that work in some outlets like at work but very dicey on working at home all the time. Any suggestions?

    if all the outlets that you tried are known to work fine with other devices, the problem might be the charger. Also, if your mac is a mid 2013 model, the charger is also covered under the warranty.

  • I CAN NOT SHUT DOWN MAC AIR

    when I  updated my operation system yesterday,i can not shut down my computer

    Force shutdown by holding the power button in for about 10 seconds.  That should do it.
    Then do SMC reset.
