Set up new MacBook Air and can't connect to wifi

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.

  • New MacBook with Lion can't connect my WiFi with WEP 128bits

    Well, Hi Apple's users !
    I've received my brand new Mac Book Pro 2012 last week. It was installed with last version of OSX Lion.
    At work, not problem to connect to WiFi crypted in WPA Enterprise.
    At home, i absolutly can't connect to my personnal WiFi crypted in WEP 128bits and with a MAC Address filtrer. If I remove the WEP protection, then it works well. If i remove only Mac Address filtrer, it still not work.
    I don't receive any error message as if the password was wrong. I've both tested the hexadecimal code and the passphrase... still get the "?" and no connexion.
    I've read a lot of probleme exist on this Lion version with WiFi...
    I could add that all my other device as : iPad 2, iMac, PC, Smartphone, DS, PS3 and Wii works correctly !
    What should i do ?

  • I have a new MacBook Air and I set my password the other night and forget what I selected. Now I can't start using the computer because I can't get through password gates! Please help!!

    I have a new MacBook Air. I set my password the other night when I was half asleep and can't remember it. Im still working on my old MacBook Air and can't get through the password gate on my new one. How can I reset it on that computer? I can't even get to the internet.
    Thanks!

    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.
    Select Terminal from the Utilities menu. At the Terminal prompt enter:
    resetpassword
    Press RETURN. You will get a GUI in which you can reset your password.

  • Can I swap the harddisks between a new MacBook Air and a MacBook 2009?

    Can I swap the harddisks between a new MacBook Air and a MacBook 2009?
    I want to buy a MacBook Air and give my MacBook to my wife but
    I want to keep all my files, itunes libraries, user accounts, etc.
    Will the new Mac Book Air detect the new hardware and install the new
    drivers by itself?

    Hi uni2canarias and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The hard drive in the MacBook Air is not meant to be user replaceable. Further, the OS installed on your MacBook would likely not run the MacBook Air.
    A better solution might be to use the Migration Assistant to move your data to the new computer. This comes up when you are setting up the new computer for the first time.
    Best of luck.

  • 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.
    Regards

  • Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password

    I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password.  Where do I find one?

    There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
    I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
    Thanks for your help Linc.

  • HI!  I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away.  My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily.  Is there something that I need to configure?  I have no issues if I am close to it.  Thank you!

    Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

  • I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 help???

    I have bought a 2nd hand late 2008 macbook air and can't install iPhoto as it says it requires update 10.9 or higher i can't seem to update any further than 10.7.5 can anyone help please???

    Thankyou for your response... being new to this i have had a look and it says the following
    This system can run the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" as well as the current version of OS X 10.9 "Mavericks," but does not support the AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, or Power Nap features. It is not supported booting into 64-bit mode when running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It does support "OpenCL" and Grand Central Dispatch introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."
    Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X, like Mountain Lion and Mavericks, are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier
    what do i do next
    Thankyou once again for your reply

    Bill

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

    My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
    When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

    See if this helps:
