Reinstalling standard apps on a MacBook Air

How can I reinstall such apsp as iCal and Mail when I'm on the MacBook Air and don't have a disc?

Oh, how very nice.... but doesn't this require me to completely reinstall the OS? That is not what I want, I simply want to reinstall iCal and Mail.
It's really strange that Apple hasn't released these apps as part of iLife or just as stand alone-apps.They should pop up when you search for them in the App Store.

It happened right after when i deleted some files i was trying to uninstall the useless app and i think i accidently deleted some system files. Right now it is letting me to download the app but i cannot install any of the app or even open any application. please help

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air. Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie? I need to free up space on my computer as I don't have any space left.

I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air. Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie? I need to free up space on my Macbook Air as I don't have any space left. I've ordered an external drive in order to move photos and video there to free up space. In the meantime I have to make some room for incoming emails and to open programs. I've already deleted some documents.

You should find out which app you are using when you double click on a movie.

I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. Please help

I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. When I try to download them, a message says that they are available in my purchased apps, but they don't appear under that menu. Please help

The issue is that you purchased the apps in the US app store, not in the Mexican App Store.
If you set your App Store back to US, then you should be able to access your purchases from teh US Store.

TS2570 trying to reinstall the OS on a MacBook Air.

I'm trying to reinstall the OS on a MacBook Air. I got it from my former company, and they didn't keep the OS install disc, in fact they wiped it and put Windows 7 on it. I have quite a few macs, and have always used an external USB disc and can install but this machine is so fickle and throws up the multilingual failure message upon boot. I was, however, able to boot into a recovery volume that was on my external hard drive, and I burned Snow Leopard to the machine's OWN hard drive, and when it booted up, it failed again.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have a Mid 2012 MacBook Air. This MacBook Air isn't compatible with Snow Leopard, and that's the reason why you are getting a kernel panic when you try to start up Snow Leopard.
In order to reinstall OS X, you can use that recovery volume or Internet Recovery (hold Command, Option and R keys while your computer is starting). Then, open Disk Utility, choose your hard disk at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the drive. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

I lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?

Are you running with Snow Leopard 10.6.5 as your profile suggests.   If so you should not be able to get to the App Store.   So what do you have?
You need Snow Leopard update 10.6.8.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Once you have that I don't see why not.   Check your purchase listing.   If it is there you can download again free.

I am having trouble with the "numbers" app on my MacBook Air. I go to print my document and that works just fine. I cannot however return to the document after printing. What do I have to do?

RR,
Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

Why doesn't my Messages app on my Macbook Air 11" work?

Why did my Messages app on my Macbook Air 11" stop working?
It stopped out of no where, I don't even know how it happened. It works if I log in with my other emails. But the email I want to use with my Messages doesn't want to work. I tried changing the password but still doesn't work. I hope you could help me!
Here are a few screenshots I took.

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.

I paid for pages, numbers & keynote for my ipad. Do I have to pay again to get these apps on my macbook air?

You do have to pay, but you're not paying again. iWork apps for OS X are not the same as the iOS versions.

Can not open app store on macbook air 2013

I just bought a 2nd Macbook Air 2013 using OS X 10.9.2 (13C64), but don:t know why I can't open the App Store on my macbook without any notifications when I click on the icon. Anyone can let me know what's the problem and what should I do now? Thank you very much!

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Repair
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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
