What can I change to gain access to my work vpn. I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers. Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

You need to give us a lot more info.
I presume the MBA and the TC are the combo that doesn't work, although you don't clearly state that.
If the ipad and TC work.. are you sure the ipad is connected via the TC and not 3G network?
If it is then the TC itself is fine and the issue might be setup on the MBA.. although if the MBA works with other routers.. that rather confuses the matter.
You need to actually tell us how the TC is setup in the network. What kind of broadband modem you have and what kind of vpn you are using.

How to share photos between macbook air and iphone5s

What is the easiest way to transfer photos from my iphone 5s to my macbook air, wirelessly. I have wifi in the house and not really sure how to use the icloud. Thoughts? Thank you so much.

Hi there Braeth,
There are a couple of ways of accomplishing this. You can either sync them directly to your computer via iTunes, or use iCloud to sync your photos via PhotoStream. I have linked some resources below for how to get everything set up.

Macbook Air and iBahn problem -- can't get to the log-in page

This is a new Air (2012) running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. The location is a Sheraton hotel that uses iBahn for Internet service. I can connect to the wifi network "iBahn," and the Network preference panel shows that my Mac has been successfully assigned an ip number. I click the advanced tab and confirm that iBahn's DNS servers are now listed there. But when I open the browser and try to connect, I cannot get the hotel log-in page. I get a blank window instead. Reloading the window does not help. I have tried the usual remedies: turning wifi off and then back on again, requesting a new DHCP lease, closing and reopening the browser, trying different browsers (Firefox, Chrome), restarting the computer -- none of this works. I have tried shutting down the Mac, restarting, and signing in to a different account on the computer. The symptoms are the same -- a blank page instead of a log-in screen. I have had no trouble connecting with several other wifi networks elsewhere -- including ones that require a browser log-in page. Later the same morning, the wifi at the airport worked just fine.
Here is where it gets even weirder. I happened to have a second Mac Air with me -- a 2010 model. It logged on to the hotel network with no problems: I opened the browser and the log-in page immediately appeared.
And weirder: There was also an ethernet cable in the room. When I plugged that into the 2012 Air (with a USB-ethernet adaptor) I could connect with no problem. Finally, I found that I can plug an Airport Express into the ethernet cable and the 2012 Air will connect wirelessly through that.
What could be wrong here? I assume that iBahn works by obtaining and registering a machine's MAC address. Using wifi, Ibahn was able to get the MAC address from the older 2010 Air and from the Airport Express, but not from the 2012 Air. But the 2012 Air could provide its MAC address through a wired connection. Any advice would be most appreciated. Though I was able to come up with a workaround, I want to ensure that this doesn’t happen elsewhere.

That's a good question. The page appeared to be blank. I didn't know it was possible to enact the page source view feature in Mountain Lion. That is good to know for the future -- thanks.
An additional bit of information: a Windows laptop was also able to connect. I wonder if something changed in the Apple wifi firmfare that is incompatible with iBahn.
Interestingly, similar problems are reported in these forums for iPads and iBahn. And FlyerTalk has a thread about Apple laptops and iBahn: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marriott-rewards-including-ritz-carlton/1228814-i bahn-aggravation.html

Full size apple keyboard, Macbook Air and Thunderbolt problem

Here's the scenario. Come to work, plug in Macbook air to thunderbolt display. Hit keyboard to wake it up. Nothing. Click magic mouse and awake comes Macbook and thunderbolt display. Click on user and go to type password in... no keyboard. Happens every 2-3 days sometimes 2-3 days in a row. Have to open Macbook Air, use Macbook keyboard to log in. Hit restart, let it boot and then viola the usb keyboard works.
I have searched Thunderbolt firmware updates and see the previous cases of people having trouble and pram zapping and blah blah blah. I can't seem to find instructions on firmware update anywhere for thunderbolt display. Is there no correct fix for this yet? I'm using all Apple products. It should just work.
Thanks in advance.

Through experimentation, I've found that the audio works fine (i.e., no static) if I remove all USB connections from the Thunderbolt Display.
If I plug my Apple keyboard into a USB port on the Thunderbolt Display, and I let the audio play for a few minutes, the audio begins to degrade with static.
As a short-term workaround, I've removed all USB connections from the Thunderbolt Display. When I connect the MacBook Air to the display, I plug a USB hub into the MacBook Air (not into the Thunderbolt Display). I plug the Apple keyboard (etc.) into the USB hub. With this configuration, the audio works fine.
Of course, I do want to be able to use the USB ports on the Thunderbolt Display, so this is a short-term workaround at best.

Sync workflow between MacBook Air and another Mac

I'm curious how people with two Macs keep their MacBook Air and other Mac in sync with each other. For example, how do you keep Address Book, iCal, and the word processing documents in sync so that you don't end up with multiple versions across two computers or the wrong data.

I don't know if the way I do it is the most efficient way, as I posted a similar question here once and didn't get replies. For regular files / documents, I put my MBA on the desk next to MBPro and enable "file sharing" on both computers, then with the Air I click on the shared computer name listed in the Finder, in my case lt lists Mac Book Pro and then all the files from the Pro ore shown on my Air and I can just drag and drop onto my Air desktop. Once I click out of the shared computer, I then drag that file to wherever I want it.
As far as ICal and contacts, the way I have been doing it is to keep my IPod Touch and the MBPro syncd together with all the iTunes junk and also my calendars and contacts and then at the end of the day I sync those two and then plug the Touch into the Air and it also keeps it updated on calendars and contacts. I would like to learn an easier more direct way but I don't want to buy 3rd party software of mess with .Mac

Exclamation mark appears instead of photo. Recently upgraded from i mac to Macbook air and all was transferred over. I have run all the repair and rebuild functions in iphoto. Any other solution?

Since iPLM failed to help try the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion. I realise that she needs to tidy up ipad 1 first and get rid of thousands of emails etc. I need help.
Thanks kiwihdrider

Hi yes that works well when the new ipad hasn't been used. Trouble new one has been used for two months or more, has lots photos email etc etc. I am worried that these will go. When we did iPhone thru same process finished up with two of most things pics and emails. The emails alone were over 2 thousand and wife reluctant to delete them all. I would and just sort pics. Any other ideas

I bought a MacBook Air and wish to communicate with old iMac G5 2003-5 (sorry can't remember the year). The screen on the iMac is blank and will not come on but the hard drive still works. Can anyone tell me the cable I need to with the iMac & how to do it. I have music and photos on the iMac I cannot access.
Also, do I need to special CD/DVD external drive/burner to import music CD's into iTunes? I have tried and it keeps coming up with formatting problems.
Many thanks. Jax

I have looked for what you said and come up with these 2 cables. Are these the correct ones I need?

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

I have an iPhone 5 and I want to know if I delete all the photos on this device will it also delete them on my iPad, MacBook Air and my desktop?

No, I accidently erased my pic's and my Music from my iPhone 5 when I hooked it up to my New iMac Air when I sync it. I thought when you sync it saves all your Data from my iPhone,,,,Wrong! It did the opposite, and saved what was on my iMac Air to my iPhone, which was Nothing, since it was Brand new. It won't delete the pic's from my iPad. Lucky for me, I downloaded them all back to my iPhone from iCloud.

Hello everyone i have macbook air, hello everyone i have macbook air and my startup disc is full i checked everything and and find out that all space is of OTHER and i dont know what is it and what i have to do with that

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I bought a new MacBook Air the other day and I have been trying to connect my iPhone into the laptop to charge. However every time I plug it in, the phone connects and disconnects very quickly and doesn't charge. How do I fix this?

I Bought a new macbook air and it won't charge my phone. This is the second laptop ive gone through as i got a replacement one only two days ago for the same problem. I need to be able to connect my iPhone so I can download songs etc from iTunes onto my phone. How do I fix this?

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

I am photo streaming my docs from my macbook air and want to assure they do not get auto deleted after 30 days??

I have a macbook air, and an Iphone 4S, as well as an Ipad 2. I have many pictures that I was just now sending to my "Icloud free 5 gig" I noticed a comment that stated that Photo will delete the oldest files after 30 days so as to manage size?? I don't want to have that happen, I want to put them there and leave them there. I don't want the cloud space deciding which pictures shoudl be dumped. . .
Am I overlooking or misinterpreting something? I mean I am pretty concerned and if that is the case, I want to pull them back down or whatever and have them stay on the individual devices. . .I figured it would be free space that I could delete if I wanted to, not arbitrrarily by a date and some unknown valuating system of measure. . .
Thanks,
Dave
PS Still can't get my arrow keys to go back, or up kinda a pain..

if I empty my music from my old computer will I lose all my music on my new computer - ipod etc...
No. Be sure you have transferred the entire contents of your old /Home/Music/ folder.
Create a new user account on your old computer. Have your granddaughter tell you what she would like the username to be and what password she wants. Be sure to set the new account with Administrative authority. Then log into this new account and delete your old account.
