Set up new Air

What is the best (fastest?) way to transfer everything from a MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air?
Using Migration Assistant it is telling me it will take 72 hours!!

Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.

Setting up new MacBook Air and it won't connect to my wifi. I'm still in the setup mode and don't want to skip the apple id section and install at a later date. HELP, I can't seem to go back to the network page either to change if it was wrong.

Set up new mailbox iPad air

How do I set up new mailbox on iPad Air

Your email account must be an IMAP account in order to create new mailboxes in the mail app. It will not work with POP email.
If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders or mailboxes on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

How to publish android app with the new AIR 2.6 ?

Please anyone can help to instruct the correct way to install the new AIR SDK?
I work with Flash IDE and don't know how to link them...
And another noob question, are there any differences between "AIR Android" and "Adobe AIR 2" in publish settings when I'm going to create an android app with up-to-date AIR version? I was very confused by the scenario that as long as I upgraded to AIR2.6 SDK, "AIR Android" remains 2.5 though "Adobe AIR2" will surely be 2.6?
Much appreciated for any help.

To create an APK package, use the ADT package command, setting the target type to apk for release builds, apk-debug for debug builds, or apk-emulator for release-mode builds for running on an emulator.
adt     -package
    -target apk
    -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ../codesign.p12
    myApp.apk
    myApp-app.xml
    myApp.swf icons
Type the entire command on a single line; line breaks in the above example are only present to make it easier to read. Also, the example assumes that the path to the ADT tool is on your command-line shell’s path definition. (See Path environment variables for help.)
You must run the command from the directory containing the application files. The application files in the example are myApp-app.xml (the application descriptor file), myApp.swf, and an icons directory.
When you run the command as shown, ADT will prompt you for the keystore password. (The password characters you type are not displayed; just press Enter when you are done typing.)

Moving old backups into new air capsule

is it possible to set up an air capsule to inherit the backups that time machine made on an external USB hard drive? I'd hate to lose all the backups i have since 2011. Thanks

The problem here is that Time Machine stores backups differently on an external hard drive compared to a network drive like the Time Capsule. You will not be able to combine the backup files into a single file.
Life will be tons easier if you simply start new backups on the Time Capsule and keep the USB drive around for another 5-6 months until you have some backup history on the Time Capsule.
If you find that you don't really need to go back and look at backups that were made two years ago, you might want to consider erasing the USB drive at some point and using it as a general purpose drive....or a second Time Machine backup drive.
In other words, have Time Machine backup to both the Time Capsule and hard drive. The application will automatically alternate backups between the Time Capsule and hard drive. When....not if...one drive fails, you will have a solid backup history on the "other" drive.

Bought new Air, Time Machine Restore not working

Bought a new air, have my previous Air backed up on a time capsule, which I want to transfer to the new Air. When I Cmd+R the new Air on startup, I go through the normal procedure to transfer the time machine image from the old Air to the new Air. I do -
1. Restore From Time Machine Backup
2. Select Backup Source - my original Air image
3. Put in my password, it's accepted, I can see my previous Air image and the laptop name is correct.
4. It says "Opening Time Machine Backup"
5. I select the latest backup, which date/time is correct
I get "You can't restore this backup because it was created by a different model of Mac". Is the new Air incompatible? If so, arrrrgh!

Setting up new macbook pro ,want to transfer music on existing Apple id and then set him up with a new one for future purchases ,can itunes play music from both accounts on one user account?

Title says it all really,son has until now used our itunes account,in future will want to build up own but wants obviously to have access to past musuc/books etc.I was thinking authorise new macbook with existing apple id ,transfer music ,then set up new id for future,if he wants to play old music he will have to log in under old account.
Also want to link to icloud but this will need to be the new id presumeably because you are not allowed to change the computer,does this mean it will only back up the stuff from new account?

I have tried the method of authorizing my computer and then initiating transfer purchases method yet my purchases were not transfered. I was told Apple can put your purchases in a certain place for you to retrieve them in your I-tunes account.
Is there any way you can help me with this problem?

How to set a New Tab as the start page in Firefox and lock in my choice of web sites

You may set the New Tab page Firefox shows when opening a new tab as its start page, and you can lock in the web sites you want displayed there.
I set my browser to open a New Tab as its start page and have locked in six destinations from which to choose on my start page.
First I open Firefox and open a new tab. Then I delete any open tabs other than this New Tab. Optionally, I can also set a second tab to open to a specific web site
Next I go to Tools and Options (or Edit and Preferences in Linux) and select the General tab on the far left. Click on
[Use Current Pages].
Each time I open Firefox it will open showing me the New Tab.
I can select from pages that I have already visited the six pages I want to have appearing on my New Tab every time. Supposing there are no pages locked in yet, and I don't want the site in the top left. I hit the X in its thumbnail's top right corner, it disappears and every other site thumbnail moves up and there is a new site appearing in the sixth slot. Note that if I have visited one page frequently, it may appear more than once, or be replaced by itself. If that happens, just keep deleting until the page you want shows up.
If I find a site that I want to save, then there is a thumbtack in the top left corner of the thumbnail. It is black, but if I click it it turns blue, and the thumbnail is a keeper.
This web site is in the second row, second over, but I want it to be up on the top row. Just drag and drop and the two sites exchange places. Make sure it has a blue thumbtack. The lock-down thumbtacks and delete X symbols appear in the top left and top right, respectively while the mouse is hovering over them.
It is possible to delete a saved site, and it is possible to undo the thumbtack. Simply click the X to delete or click the blue thumbtack to unlock the site and turn the thumbtack black.
You may choose to tack down a few sites and let the remainder float in and out, driven by your browsing history.
Through my use of this approach, I have instant access to my club's web site, two Webmail sites, and some other often-visited places on the Web, all in one start page.
About the only thing I really don't need there is a Google search box, for if I enter my search terms in the address bar I get the same result as if I had specifically typed in the search box.
Some add-ons, often potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), will replace the Firefox about:newtab (address of the New Tab) with eBay, Facebook, Twitter icons among others, and a different search engine. These icons may have a nicer appearance than the default Firefox New Tab, but you may also be looking at extra, unnecessary work for the computer, especially if behind the pretty icons there is a hidden agenda.
Personally, I would stay clear of these add-ons, and perform some scanning with an up-to-date antivirus and antimalware software.

If this is not a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in that tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I was using same id on 2 iphones with no problems suddenly everything got mess, how can i set a new id w.out losing my contacts?

i was using same id on 2 iphones with no problems suddenly everything got mess, how can i set a new id w.out losing my contacts?

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps
