Airplay between mac book air and apple TV

I just purchased apple TV and I have a mac book air purchased earlier in the year. I am unable to connect the mac to the TV. No devices are detected in airplay mirroring in display settings. They are both connected to the same wifi. Both are on.

If you're not seeing an Airplay icon next to the TimeMachine icon on your top toolbar to the left of your clock, then the MacBook isn't seeing the AppleTV.
What type of hardware are you using for WIFI connectivity? Some have issues passing the necessary multicast packets to make AirPlay and other Apple connectivity work on the network. Usually all-in-one modem/router devices from carriers like Comcast have been known to have these issues. (Arris gateways from them will not work with AirPlay or AirPrint protocols.)

How do I get i photo on my mac book air

I have a 2010 Mac Book Air 10.7.5 and I recently had to wipe the whole computer clean. When I got my computer back the iPhoto was missing. I can't find it on the hard drive, in applications, etc. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

Yes.
If you purchased iPhoto from the Mac App Store, it will be available for you to download under "Purchases". Sign in using the Apple ID you used to purchase or "accept" iPhoto.
If you did not purchase iMovie from the Mac App Store, restore it from Time Machine, assuming you use Time Machine. From the Time Machine icon, "Enter Time Machine" and look for it in Applications.

Home Sharing one Mac Book Air Will Not allow Music to Transfer to the MAC

First here's what we have
2 users, (2) iPhones and Mac Book Pro and Mac Book Air and a Windows PC
All computers are set to manually manage music.
I have home sharing set on all 3 computers. When l log into either the Macs or the PC I can drag music I want between either computer with no problems. All computers are authorized. When my wife logs into her account on her Mac Air she cannot move any music from the shared computers. We have separate iTunes accounts. Anyone have any idea, why when using her user account she cannot drag the music files over to her Mac Air

for home sharing to work, iTunes must be authorized to the same user account.

When i was younger i did all my itunes purchasing through my father's account. I just purchased my own Mac book Air and i am trying to transfer the music from my iphone to my Mac. Is there a way to do this even though the music wasn't purchased on my id?

Have you authorised your own Mac to your father's account?

I have mac book air os x 10.8.2 i create a photo library on iPhoto and i moved it to my time capsule disk now i try to access library from my wife mac book running on mac os x 10.5.8 i always receive library locked on locked disk

Unless you can set the Time Capsule's drive to have it's ownership ignored
you won't be able to use the library on the same volume as the Time Machine backups.

Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini?

Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini? The network uses a Time Capsule. Everything works when connecting from the Mini to the Air, but the reverse is not the case, none of the Mini's drives are visible, and the screen sharing option is not available. I've tried the measures already suggested in online articles, everything seems to be configured correctly using my iCloud account. I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've now managed to get the service running in both directions, but not in the way I had anticipated. I had to create a second account on the Mac Book Air, this also has administrator privilages, everything works fine when connecting from this acccount. However, this is not the way I would expect to work, none of my documents, applications and settings would be available, unless I laboriously duplicated them to the new account.
Also, I've yet to get the service running from outside my home network.

How do I transfer a specific backup from my external hard drive to my mac book air?

How do I transfer a specific backup from my external hard drive to my mac book air? I downgraded my mac's software from Mavericks to Mountain Lion because of the computer's limations so I need to transfer all the info I had when Mavericks and down to Mountain Lion. I already went to the Apple Genius Bar and they helped me downgrade, but I want to transfer information from a specific backup on my external hard drive?

time machine backup? Go into the backups.backupdb (time machine) and extract out the specific files, drag them to your desktop etc.
consider in the future additional backup methods than time machine for easy file extraction.
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection

I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on my Mac and want to transfer it to my newly purchased Mac Book Air. How can I do that?

I currently have Photoshop CS5.1 on my Mac and want to transfer it to my newly purchased Mac Book Air. How can I do that?

Just install it like you did the first time (do not try to transfer it from the old machine in any way) - you can download thru your account if you purchased it as a download originally - otherwise there is a link for downloading below. Your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online if your registered the software previously.
CS5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
If you like you can leave it on the first machine as a backup because you are allowed to have two activated installations. If you wish to remove it from the older machine you should deactivate it first (open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate).

I lost my mac book air, i have all my data in a backup disc, but i can´t transfer my address book from that device to mi I Mac.

I lost my Mac Book Air, and I have all my data backed up in a G-drive slim disc, I'm trying to recover my adress book to the agenda in my I Mac at home,
but when I'm trying to do that I recieve a message that the vcard's cannot be oppened, because they have a diferent format, what can I do to recover all my telephone numbers and adresses?.

Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
Cheers

As to iPhoto
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

How can I transfer photos from my Mac Book Pro to my windows computer?

How can I transfer photos from my Mac Book Pro to my windows computer.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"
