I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

IPhone hotspot not working with MacBook air

Hi this is my first post I think and I'm hoping for a fix to my issues.
My iPhone 4S hotspot won't work when connected to my MacBook Air in either USB mode or wireless/Bluetooth.
A few weeks back I had the same issue, took both iPhone and MacBook to my local apple store and the tech deleted a folder from the mac and it fixed the issue.
I don't know which folder he deleted, he said they were network configuration files that would regenerate themselves.
Anyway it has been working fine for a few weeks but tonight it has ceased to connect again. I'm working overseas and don't have access to the apple store so I'm hoping someone here can advise me which files I need to delete Again to get this hotspot working.
Both iPhone and MacBook have the very latest software update both yesterday and it did work fine yesterday after the update.

You couldn't have, there are no supported Bluetooth Profiles between a iMac and an iPhone outside of Internet sharing.
In which case you need to enable the internet Sharing over bluetooth on the Mac before trying to pair.
Other than that there's no way to pair them.

Handoff not working with Macbook air (mid 2012)

So, I just updated to Yosemite and I have enabled all the settings on my Macbook Air (mid 2012), iPhone and iPad. Turned on blutooth, same wifi network, etc... Handoff DOES work from my Mac to the iPhone but will not work from my iPhone to my mac. I've searched high and low and can't figure out why its not working... Any ideas?

*UPDATE* I was able to drop a file to my iPhone via AirDrop FROM my MBP to iPhone. However, I've still been unable to do the reverse (iPhone to MBP).
Same exact situation with same exact MBP (mid 2012 machine). iPhone 5S running iOS 8. I had been trying to go iPhone to MBP for about 30 minutes with no success. Neither Handoff or AirDrop would work. The MBP would recognize the iPhone in AirDrop, but the iPhone would never recognize the MBP as a location to "drop" to.
After reading you post, I tried the reverse (MBP to iPhone). I started an e-mail and got the mail icon on my iPhone lock screen. However, when trying to access the message on the iPhone i received connectivity errors and the "draft" never loaded.
Perhaps the server on the cloud they use for the handoff/airdrop/continuity feature is overloaded due to the rollout. Either way it's entirely more complex to use then it should be.

Why is HP Photosmart C4780 wi-fi not working with MacBook Air?

My HP Photosmart C4780 and my MacBook Air seem incapable of maintaining a wi-fi connection.
My printer will work with a wired connection but the combined scanner no longer works at all.
I have installed and uninstalled the printer on numerous occasions it works as soon as it is reinstalled but this never lasts.
I am out of guarantee with HP and Apple and have paid HP Several times for help but I am wondering if it would be better to buy another printer.
Any help would be gratefully received.

First try Reset Printing System, a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility. You'll have to re-Add the printers (don't "install" drivers or any software though).

Airport Express not visible to Windows XP laptops - works with MacBook Air

Frustration. I've been searching these Discussion boards and none of the proposed solutions seem to work for my problem.
I am trying to set up a brand new Airport Express to stream iTunes wirelessly to my home entertainment system. The majority of my music resides on a Dell laptop running Windows XP Pro(SP3). I have a home WPA2-PSK WiFi network using the modem provided my local internet provider (Qwest). I've been trying to set up the AEX as a client on my existing network. I have turned off my laptop's firewall and virus protection.
I used the Airport Utility to configure the AEX (setting the AEX name to something without spaces, setting a password, choosing join an existing network, selecting the correct network type (WPA/WPA2 Personal), entering my network's password, and enabling AirTunes). This seems to go well. After the restart, the orange light turns to a solid green light, but I get the familiar "Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport wireless device after restarting." I can get the Utility to retrieve the above group of configuration settings by entering the IP address and password via the Configure Other on the File pulldown. Despite the correct settings seemingly being saved to the AEX and the green light, the AEX is not available to my iTunes.
At this point, I'm about 8hrs into this setup process. I have been through all of the recommended permutations of AEX hard reset (paperclip in the AEX reset button while plugging it back in and waiting for the rapidly flashing orange light), laptop reboot, linking my laptop to AEX via ethernet cable for setup, hook AEX to wireless modem via ethernet cable for setup, hook AEX and wireless modem to laptop via ethernet cable for setup, etc. Each time, the AEX settles out to green, but it is not seen by Airport Utility on the Windows XP laptop. I've now tried with a second Dell Windows XP laptop (also shut off the firewall and virus protection) with precisely the same results.
Today I brought home my office MacBook Air. I reset the AEX and re-installed it as a client on my network and it was immediately recognized by the MacBook Air, and went on to stream iTunes wirelessly to my entertainment system (proof of concept). When I switch back to the Windows XP laptops, the AEX still cannot be found by the non-Mac laptops. They can find the AEX temporarily when I enter the IP address to the configure other, but cannot find the AEX after the reboot. The AEX is only available to the XP machines when the AEX is hardwired to either of the laptops via an ethernet cable.
I still just want to be able to stream iTunes wirelessly from my primary Windows XP Dell laptop to my entertainment system. Please help. Thank you.

WPA2-PSK (AES) = Apple WPA2 Personal
WPA-PSK (TKIP) = Apple WPA/WPA2 Personal
See if you can change the setting on your wireless router to read WPA-PSK (TKIP).

Does an older Apple care (MA519ZM/A) for iBook/Macbook work with Macbook air 2012?

I found an older model of the apple care (MA519ZM/A) for cheap online.
It says its for iBook / Macbook, but having googled the model number some websites seem to say its for the Air aswell.
So I was wondering if it would work with the MBA 13inch 2012.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The AppleCare you want to buy is designed for the MacBook, the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro, so you should be able to use it.
I recommend you to get it directly from Apple, so you can be sure it will be compatible, but it should also work

Optus Huwaie USB not working with Macbook Air

I have a Macbook Air (mid 2011) running Yosemite 10.10.1
Using an Optus USB Modem (E3276 V2 4G) by Huwaie and it I think there is a compatibility issue. … I tried the modem on my Macbook .. no problem at all.
After launching on the Air, the USB dongle glows Blue which represent connection - status on Optus window says ‘connected' but there is in fact no internet connection at all and no kbps activity either way. I have seen a few similar posts on various forums but haven't so far understood what they are on about. Ideas? Thanks

You should be contacting the technical support of the Internet carrier for assistance. It is their responsibility to be compatible with Apple.
Ciao.

Will all samsung led monitors work with macbook air?

recommendations for best 27" led monitor ( not a gamer), watching movies, when not working ~$400?

It is OK to use. See the quote below from Find the right power adapter and cord for your Mac notebook - Apple Support
Power adapters for Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. You should use the appropriate wattage power adapter for your Apple notebook. You can use a higher wattage adapter without issue, but doing this won't make your computer charge faster or operate any differently. Lower wattage adapters will not provide enough power.

External isight wont work with imac g4

Hello,
I recently purchased a second hand isight camera using ebay.
I have an older imac g4 and the isight wont work with it at all.
I have scoured the forums on this topic and looked through all of EZ Jim's suggestions but I think my problem is a little bit different.
I'll explain exactly what happens and my troubleshooting so far...
The imac G4 is powered off, I plug in the external isight via firewire 400
The imac boots up into leopard 10.5.8 (using leopard assist)
In system profiler the isight is listed under the firewire tab.
( I can post system profiler info on this if its needed)
When I turn on the camera ichat launches, but then in the video tab it says no camera is connected.
Photobooth just has the no camera sign, but interestingly when ichat is opened photobooth says "camera off"
sometimes photobooth even lets me click the photo button, it counts down but then it doesnt take a picture... obviously!
Skype doesnt work.
I have an imac 24" running snow leopard 10.6.6 .... that also detects the camera but it won't work with any application such as skype or ichat.
I have tried (on my G4) unplugging my usb bluetooth module but nothing changes.
My G4 is connected via ethernet to an external router.
The firewire cable seems ok, I dont have any other firewire devices, but if it was a problem with the BUS or the cable then im guessing it wouldnt show in system profiler.
I am thinking the camera is probably damaged, but before I start a paypal enquiry I would like to see if it is just my computer or a setting i need to change.
(oh I used the application isight updater in core services but the install button is greyed out)
Any help would be amazing!!
Thanks!!!

Well, about all you can do would be to try a different and known good
FireWire cable, as a replacement for what may be a defective FW400
cable that came with the iSight camera. The cable can be defective
with one bad wire, yet sometimes appear available to the computer.
• How to Troubleshoot iSight (note external vs internal)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
• iMac G5 (iSight), & Intel-based iMac: Using External video camera:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2819
If you know of someone with an older Mac without a built-in iSight
camera, to test that one on, this may be an OK idea. Not sure if you
could get any traction by taking the camera to an Apple Specialist
and ask if they could check it out for you; that may also cost you.
{And since your computer does not officially support Leopard 10.5,
the other avenues of support would probably not be open to you.
At least not with the old iMac G4 and an unsupported 10.5 install.}
I have an external iSight camera which was included with my G4 Mini
1.5GHz model, and that appeared to work OK with 10.5.8 at one point.
But I really have no need for it, since I don't use photobooth & so on.
And haven't tried that with my iMac G4 computers at all. No need to.
With a computer not equipped with an iSight camera, the Leopard 10.5
installation should still support the eventual addition of one; even if the
computer itself appears to not officially support a Leopard 10.5 install.
(You refer to Leopard Assist, a means to install in slower CPU Macs.)
The FW cable is about the most easy to consider at this point.
In the course of a year, I've found good replacement cables at
several places, even those at thrift stores in perfect shape, work
and I use them for FW external hard disk drives, primarily. To have
spares is nearly always a good idea. Test & keep known good ones.
I'm not certain how the external iSight FW camera may work on
a newer Intel-based 24" iMac with a built-in iSight camera, too.
Does your 24" computer have FireWire 400+800 ports? Can you
choose an external iSight camera and ignore the built-in one?
These secondary topics have probably been discussed in the other
forum area for Intel-based iMac computer models; if you chose to
try & use that camera with a model computer with one built-in...
• Apple - Support - Discussions: for Intel-based iMac
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=189
There is a possibility, if never tried and the iMac G4 computer was
acquired second-hand, that the FW port within it may be band; but
the cable is the first item since it is cheapest, in troubleshooting.
So, anyway, the hour is late here (1AM) so hopefully the matter
can be resolved with a known-good replacement FW400 cable.
You should not have to restart the iMac G4 (800?) model in order
to get a FireWire item to be recognized. It should appear in the
System Profiler's list under FireWire, such as things normally do.
Of course, the camera could be defective as well. Been some
time since they were available on sale, new from Apple...
You could ask around to find out if there is a way to use that
external iSight camera with your newer Intel-based 24" Mac
by someone having it ignore its own built-in camera; in a
way as to not affect its normal operation, that is.
Good luck & happy computing!

Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?
Thanks!

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

Can external disk drives work with MacBooks that already have a disk drive?

My MacBook pro got dented right where the disk drive is so I cant put disks in or take them out. I know its probably going to be a boatload of money to fix it because applecare doesn't cover accidental damage. I was wondering if there are external disk drives that can work with my mac, because the ones that are sold at Apple only work for notebooks without interal disk drives. Thank you.

Yes. I recommend the http://www.macsales.com/ sold drives. Those are much more likely to work well with Macs than any other models.

Remote with macbook air

can apple remote using with macbook air?

No you cannot use it as the new Air does not have an IR port.
So we have a great notebook, very slim and light - perfect for presentations. It just does not support the remote anymore - what a stupid decision!!!
You might recommend to buy a third party product which works with bluetooth. When doing so, you forget the following:
The original Apple Remote has a GREAT feature. You can pause a movie or flash animation which is placed into a slide at any time by pushing the PAUSE button. This is extremely helpful to explain something which is happening in your animation. This feature is gone now and this is a shame.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thank you!!!
