Problem with Mac Book Air OS X 10.8.5 - camera fail.. skype

Hi to the all the community !
As i already saw a few articles, it seems that due to the latest upgrade "OS X 10.8.5" , the camera of our MacBook Air can't be found.. which is kind of a big problem when you're using you Mac to STAY connected to your family and friends (around the world).. I'm really sad of this situation ..
I wanted to know when they are going to give us a new upgrade, in order to fix that sad issue.
I'm really looking forward to it ...
Does anybody has some more information on this subject ?
Thanks to all !!

Configure airport express with mac book air

I am trying to configure airport express with a Mac Book Air, without success; the program is installed, but then, nothing appears to configure Airpor Express...
Can I get any help? Thank you
António

Hello!
I´m sorry it took so long to reply, but I´m new to these blogs; and I´ve been travelling a lot... Anyway, I was able to configure Airport Express, but I was told I could use it to expand my wireless network inside my house; which I found it´s not possible.
So, I´m returning my Airport Express to the store tomorrow and try to figure out a way to extend my wireless in any other way.
Any sugestion? Big houses are a problem...
Best regards, and once again thank you!

Can I link rapoo e6500 bluetooth key with mac book air

I have bought the bluetooeth key board rapoo e6500 and can not link with my Mac book air? How do I solve this problem?

You may not be able to pair a third party (non Apple) keyboard. Most likely incompatible with your Mac.

What is the necessity of the AC power cord (with Mac Book Air)? When should it be used with the power adapter?

Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
Why are both cords necessary?
They are not.
Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
No.

Battery issues with MAC Book Air (late 2010)

Since I updated my MAC Book Air (late 2010) to the latest OS X 10.6.8. the battery is empty after 2.5 hours. Before it worked for approx. 6 hours. Whats your experience?

I have been having the same issues as well. I downloaded Coconut battery to see the status of my battery, but it just clocks down very quickly still. I have disabled flash on Safari as well, and still I am charging my machine 2-3 times a day during the day.

Auto Restart Issue with Mac Book AIR

Have been using a Macbook PRO for sometime, no problem with Parallel installed. Due to frequent traveling, light and compact is my priority now, so I bought another AIR (11" i7 chip w/ Parallel installed as well). It was working flawlessly for few weeks, used it to download a couple of updates when I was in China (approx. 4Mbit/sec line speed) still no issues. UNTIL when I get back to my office and using WIFI updated another few stuffs, the AIR started to behave strangely with "your computer needs to restart due to problem ..." the last few days it happened at least 10 times daily, so I did what I know with the usual Mac way, reset PRAM, repair permissions blah blah blah ..problems persists so I called the service centre and the technician I talked to suggested the issue could be from 'your moderate internet speed causing incomplete system updated files.' ; half convinced but I followed / reinstalled ...with no CD, it has to press option to select to reinstall -- only then I realized a big problem, originally it states requires 27 hours to reinstall a fresh LION in my AIR but finally it completed and restated in still about MASSIVE 7-1/2 hours time.
As I have bought a USB network connector now (a convenient gadget when stays at hotels with different levels of facilities offered), this is not so troublesome and I think fellow users should consider using network and avoid using WIFI for this purpose. I notice once the left USB once was used (without turning off the WIFI) it keeps breaking the connections, as I read some articles from this forum the left USB could has some stability issues. After all the time spent, the computer freezes at times and auto restarts again. What the heck has this causes the AIR to behave this way ?
NEXT, I also read on the Power issues, I bought it without realizing one of the technical highlight is on high performance battery management but you can chop my head off and sit on mine if the AIR can last 3 hours (probably the suggested time is with computer power on but without using it at all). I don't want to sound un-nice as I have been using Mac for many many years: 1) if AIR is entirely basing on internet (VERY HIGH SPEED) for support is not a really very friendly method for users if there is reliability issues via internet line support, says what if we are caught in remote area with 30k/sec line speed then we are totally dead ... ; 2) the recent scare makes me dare not using the software updates now, as technician suggested, write down what is required to update, find it from apple and do it manually ...Goohs, my Mac Book Pro using side by side doesn't has this issue. Since when was the last time I have to suffer maintaining a Mac myself ? ... @%#&@*!(!
Anyone has clue to these or simply return to service centre to handle for me ?
Thanks in advance (first time user in this community).

Problems with mac book pro (os x 10.5.8)

g'day
recently i have, for me serious, problems with my mac book pro (os x 10.5.8).
discovered that it runs slower and somewhat unstable, i attempted housekeeping and burned large files on cd. furthermore i deleted some files i do not use to trash from 'application'
now once i turn on straight i get a garbled screen with tool bar on top.
if i start with installation disk 1, i get to the complete start-up and is operational.
upon opening the 'dock' to open safari for example - comuter freezes for a few minutes with spinning rainbow wheel.
what might be the problem?
did run
- safe start-up - no change
- disk utility - all ok
- hardware test - all ok
- extended hadrware test - did not work
- activity monitor - cpu - user 16%, sstem 4%, indle 87%
- system memory (2 gb) - free 850 mb, wired 172 mb, active 970 mb, inactive 51 mb
- disk usage (185 gb) - 135 gb used - 50 gb free
what else can i do? anone encountered similar?
would truly appreciate our kind assistance
thanks a lot

"did try to repair disk but it allowed me only to 'verify'"
You did not follow my post.
Insert your OS installer disk and reboot while holding down the c key. Select Utilities>Disk Utilities. Then run Repair Disk on your ard drive.

Battery problems with mac book pro

I just bought a mac book pro in March 2014.
Since there, when I put the machine in the sleep mode , next day the battery is over..
I already tried a chat with apple and I couldn't solve my problem...
After that I took my machine in apple store, they tried to solve my problem , and they couldn't.
I left my computer there and I picked up after some days...
And my mac book continues with the same problem since the first day of use
Thanks for your help

Sounds like this Apple article might help:
Runaway applications can shorten battery runtime, affect performance, and increase heat and fan activity
Note the article has one section that has not been updated to reflect a change in Mavericks. In step 3, the Show" window is gone. To select "All Processes" as required, use Activity Monitor's view menu:
Once set according to the instructions, tell us if Activity Monitor any processes are using more than about 10 percent of the CPU cycles.
NOTE: This won't tell you much if you do it right after a restart. Use the computer normal for a half-day or so after a restart. That gives time for any bad actors to start working.

Problem with mac book pro

I just bought a new mac book pro. it has just been 2 days when I started getting a message saying that I need to restart my computer. My computer will just hang (and a dim light on the screen will appear with the message). The message is in the middle of the screen (in diffirent languages). Since i can not do anything ( i can't cancel the message, etc.), I would restart my computer. It usually happens when I'm connected to the internet (wi-fi). But one time, it happend even if I wasn't connected to the internet. Why is this happening? Is there something wrong with my new mac book pro?
please help.
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

don't bother reinstalling yet. It could be a hardware problem with the logic board. Try this:
Open up your hard drive and navigate to the following location:
Macintosh HD -> Library -> Logs
Find the 'panic.log' file and double click on it. It will open up in the 'Console' application. Look carefully though all of the text and see if you can locate a line similar to the following:
"panic(cpu 1 caller 0x00351082): mbuf address out of range 0x750208"
If you see this line, phone Apple and tell them that you've been told by an Apple engineer that your machine could possibly require a logic board replacement. Let them go through their usual checks with you but insist that they allow you to send them your panic.log via email. By looking at the log they will instantly be able to tell you whether or not your board needs replacing (under warranty, of course).
Let us know how you get on

Any more problems with mac book pros with beeps

Stefanofromarezzo, problem with Mac Book Pro

I have a Mac Book pro, very often is going very often in crash and I'm obliged to shut-down forcedly and restart. anyone have a suggestion for me ??? thank you !!!!

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
