The keys on my mac air and slowly losing function.
The keys on my laptop and slowly losing function. They all still have a back light. Do you know if Apple replaces the keypad on MacBook Air? Thanks
You may have this sorted out by now - but if not try resetting your Language to English. I had the issue and found the emoji keyboard was set to spanish.

How do I have iWork if I already have the key on my mac air?
Hi guys,
I am a dummy Mac girl. Can any one tell me how can I install IWork in the air if I have the IWork license? and I don't have the external drive.
Thanks a lot.Hi qyang,
How did you obtain the license? Did it come preinstalled with your machine? Did you purchase the software via the Mac App Store? You should be able to download the trial via Apple's website and then just register it with your key.

i erased and reinstalled the original software and i no longer have iphoto imovie and i garage how can i get this back without instalation disk
If you are logged into your own Apple ID account for the App Store, then open App Store and try:
Download Previous Purchases from the App Store
If you have made various purchases that you need to re-download due to data loss or a lost iDevice then you have these options:
How to re-download purchased apps from the App Store
In the US you can use the iCloud beta:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes
Or hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the tool bar of App Store. See if that let's you activate a download from the purchases list.
Otherwise I can only suggest that you need to do a completely fresh installation of Lion on that machine to start everything from scratch. -
I just purchased a mac air and cannot figure out how to get my pictures from my toshiba windows to the air into iphoto and I also cannot get my library of music and apps to get to the mac air as well. Each time I try to synch it tells me it will repace my ipad and iphone with the blank library from the new air. How do I get my music, apps and photos to the air. I just subscribed to imatch and it charged me and only has 600 of my 2,000 songs!
You must move your photos and music from your Toshiba to your MBA directly, not using the iPhone. The Migration Assistant app on your Mac will help.

I just set up the airport wireless modem - with a comcast internet router - all wireless device connect seemlessly (3 Iphones, Mac Air, and a Sony Laptop) but my IPAD 1 no longer connects. It tries to but never connects. I have reset it and have airprot utility app downloaded on my IPAD - it shows the modem and the internet no connected?
Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!!
Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness. -
I have a new Mac Air and want to use my HP Monitor HPLP2475w to save $$. I attached it to the Mac Air but all I get is the background of my laptop. How do I get this to match or use in the dual mode.
Thanks,Hi Jackie,
Welcome to the Support Communities! How did you attach the Macbook Air to your HP Monitor? What cable did you use? The article below will explain how to setup the display. Video Mirroring is the option that will allow you to see your computer's display on your HP.

I purchased the 30 day subscription of Adobe Pro for my Mac Air and downloaded the app and opened it as instructed. Nothing appears to happen after that and I have been unable to use Adobe Pro thus far.
I previously downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro and had used it the last 30 days. Today I just clicked on the link from my purchase confirmation and downloaded some type of installer. Once I clicked on the installer and gave it permission to do whatever it needed to do, it just sort of stalled. I am running Mac OS Yosemite. I thought Yosemitie might be part of the problem because it has given me occasional problems with Word and some other programs.

Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.
Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby) -

I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?
Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.
