Set up iCloud on my Macbook Air, but doesn't work on my iphone
After setting up iCloud on my laptop, I went to my iphone and am getting a message that says "User name or password is incorrect." My only option is to hit "OK", but the message just stays there. Don't have access to my Settings anymore, and there appears to be no way to change the password or straighten this out. Stuck.
You must be correct, but the problem is, I can't even get into my Settings. When I hit that button, a pop-up appears that says "iCloud User name or password is incorrect." Even when I hit OK, it remains. Doesn't go away until I go back to viewing all icons.

MacBook Air Safari doesn't work after ML update
After I updated my MacBook Air 2012 to Mountain Lion yesterday, Safari stopped working. It says it's connected but Safari won't open any page.
This is the third time it happens and I'm getting sick of it (SL, Lion OS and now ML)
I had to reset my iMac (PRAM) to get it back working again, but is there another suggestion?
Thanks in advance.Hey I just foud this on this forum. It's worth a try :-)
Also, are you able to ping the network. Go to Terminal and type the following:ping google.com
you should get something like this:
Arnolds-MacBook-Air:~ arnieaz$ ping google.com
PING google.com (74.125.224.168): 56 data bytes

Re: WiFi Issues With MacBook Air
Jul 27, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to curvetr)
I had similar issues to the ones that seem to be plaguing people in this thread. However, I found a solution that worked for me, and will hopefully help you and some others!
System prefs > Network > Cog/gear button on the bottom left (sorry dont now what it's called) > Set service order.
If you find that the service order puts bluetooth ahead of Wifi, try switching Wifi up to the top spot. It worked for me. Let me know how it goes, hopefully it works!
Best of luck, Chris -
If I put the ethernet cable in the WAN port of the capsule my book doesn't pick it up but when I put it in the LAN one it does. Then it tells me it needs the WAN connection I tried rebooting in various ways including modem but I can't get past 2 problems i.e. Problem1 - Double NAT so I click the Bridge Mode and then it asks me to place the cable in the WAN port. As soon as I do it loses it. The light is flashing amber so its clearly a connection problem. Any ideas anyone?
The WAN port is for the ethernet cable that is coming straight from your modem/router.
Plug your computer into any of the Lan ports.
Once you're configured (and in bridge mode) it won't matter after that, but leave those details for later. -
I am trying to set up icloud on my macbook, I was using the step by step guide on the site but when I try go into system perfences in there is no icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?
This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further. -
I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.
You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions on verification of my account, but there is no such email in my inbox, even after submitting multiple requests to resend the email. Any idea what I can do? Mark
Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point. -

Sorry, but your issue has nothing to do with Apple networking. You may get better results getting a solution if you repost to the iCloud area of the Apple Support Communities.

I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?
It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them -
My Ipad got stolen soon after i updated in to ios7.
the idiot i am, i did not activate find my ipad, so i changed all my passwords, including the apple-id.
now i have the following problem:
on my iphone, everything works as usual.
however, i cannot connect to icloud via my macbook air, if i type in my password (and trust me i have already changed it a few times, it always works on the phone but not on the macbook) i get the following message: "Sie konnten aufgrund eines Kommunikationsproblems mit iCloud nicht angemeldet werden." which means more or less that i could not connect to icloud due to a communication problem.
does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
thank you!
regardsSign out of iCloud, the sign in with the new ID/ Password.

I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

Trying to download new iTunes software to my MacBook Air, but when I try to restart, the laptop freezes. Any advice?

Just user to user....based on past and current history, Adobe Tech Support is not going to help you with a technical issue which is preventing you from using your purchased serial number for Photoshop Elements. Version 12 is not the current version. And, the Adobe Tech Support is limited even for the current version which is 13. If this matter involves a purchased activated serial number trapped on a crashed computer while you are trying to install on a 3rd computer, then probably Adobe Chat Activation can be of assistance. If that is the case and you want to explore that possibility, then click on the following link
Contact Customer Care
Photoshop Elements
Adobe ID, Signing In
Adobe ID, Sign In, Account Help
Chat Panel
If the above link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
Are you getting one of those "too many computers with your serial number" messages? Then the above should apply to your situation.
Before the above consider....
a. For Photoshop Elements technical issues please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your
question got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
b. Have you verified your Photoshop Elements serial number at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) - after signing in with your
Adobe ID and Password, type My Products in the Search field and follow the path to your product in My Products. Click on Adobe
Photoshop Elements 12 in your list to reveal the serial number.
c. Do the install with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

I bought pages for my macbook air, but it is not showing up on my desktop mac
I recently purchased Pages as it is on my ipad / iphone / ipod touch, so I thought why not have it on my Macbook air and desktop mac. I bought it on the Macbook air, but it is not showing up on my purchases, and if I go to download it on the desktop, it states it is 19.99. What am I doing wrong?
Apps installed on your iOS devices cannot run on Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
If you want Pages on your Mac, you can purchase and download the Pages app for OS X here.
Be aware, the minimum requirement for Pages for OS X is v10.9 or later. -
