Try a SMC reset:

If no success, reinstall the OSX.
If still no success, contact Apple support. A new MBA has 90 days of free Apple support.

When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
I'm trying to print some pictures in iPhoto but a error message apears in the screen saying that there is no theme installed and I need to have some theme installed. I don't know how to do that. Need help.
Reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -

my new macbook air( 761-13", ios 10) suddendy shutdown today during copy of a dvd from external dvdrom. and it does not turn on or start up.what should i do?
Hello kanani-2014,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your Mac not turning on. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on
Resolution
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

Reset the SMC.
If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).

I have purchased Lightroom 5 and had it installed but I had to replace my matchbook pro and now I can't find the activation key - is there a way I can get it emailed to me or how do I find it? Most other plugin's email out the activation key so you have a copy but I have seen no way to get it.
If you registered your Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can log into your Adobe account and get your serial number from your account.

Btinternet has changed since 21st Nov and it no longer works on the ipad. Can anyone help please?
Can anyone help please, btinternet have changed their servers on e mail since 21st Nov and I can no longer send or receive e mails. BT say set to the following but I cannot get it to work, any suggestions please.
Go to your iPhone/iPad home screen and tap Settings.
Scroll down to Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap Add Account.
Scroll down and tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Put the name you want people to see when they get mail from you in the Name field.
Enter your BT Business username in the Address field. For example, [email protected] or, where you have registered a custom domain, [email protected]
Enter your BT Business password in the Password field.
In the Description field enter the name you want to use to identify the account.
Tap Next. If you get an error message at this point, tap OK.
Make sure that POP is selected at the top of the screen.
In the Incoming Mail Server section, change the Host Name to pop.outlook.com.
Scroll down to the Outgoing Mail Server section and change the Host Name to smtp.outlook.com.
Tap Save.Hello Kitty Galore,
It sounds like your your photos that you take on your phone are not showing in your iPad Photo Stream.
I would check both devices to make sure that they both have Photo Stream turned on in the iCloud settings.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. Open the application you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and confirm that My Photo Stream is turned on in that application. You can also adjust your my Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
If it is enabled, then I would check to make sure Automatic Upload is enabled with this article:
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
I imported photos to iPhoto or Aperture from my camera, but I do not see them uploaded to the My Photo Stream album, though the service is enabled.
In iPhoto or Aperture, navigate to Preferences > Photo Stream. Ensure that Automatic Upload is enabled under My Photo Stream and that you have an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
If Automatic Upload is not enabled, you can either enable it and import again, or manually add the newly imported photos to My Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture by dragging them into the My Photo Stream album in your Library.
Cheers,

I have 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.2.1 and now cannot print my photos. It says that "this feature is unavailable" because there are no "themes" installed. Themes? I just want to print one of the 6,000 photos I never had problems printing before.
Yes.

Correct. That is as up to date as your particular Device will go. -
Is there any way for me to update further or is it something I'll have to purchase? I'm willing to purchase further updates, just not sure how.

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?
I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!
