Unable to use wifi data card on MacBook air

Trying to use my Airtel data card. When it's plugged in, asks for a password which I believe is my system login password. Upon entering it, Still unable to do anything and no error message gets displayed. Does Airtel support Yosemite OS?
MY data card services are active though.
IS there a way to disable the user account login password so that I can try it again? I tried in User Aacounts but couldn't find anything to do this.
thanks

IPhone 5 unable to use mobile data, only FaceTime and passbook listed

my iPhone 5 is unable to use mobile data, only passbook and face time are listed, none of my apps. I have tried re setting and this didn't work, mobile data is switched on

Hi Lydia,
It may help to force close all open apps and reset your iPhone.
Force an app to close in iOS

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you still can't enable mobile data for your various apps, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

Unable to use built-in audio on macbook

When I had a G5 with Leopard I had a similar issue, and after some googling I discovered that it can be fixed by simply resetting the PRAM. Sadly, that has not worked in this case.
Here's what's happening: I am unable to use the speakers on my macbook for audio output. Headphones work, and when I went to the audio output settings the only option available is "Digital Out." When I connect and disconnect headphones I noticed that it flashes to "Built-in Audio" for a fraction of a second before deciding for whatever reason to go to "Digital Out."
I have some idea what might be causing this; recently I installed a free version of ProTools that came with my roommate's M-Audio firewire box. It turned out the software was complete crap, and it made it impossible for me to shut down my computer without a hard restart. Annoyed by this, I uninstalled it using the program it came with, which fixed the restarting problem, but seems to have taken my ability to use my speakers (perhaps out of spite?).
I hope someone has an idea of how to fix this! It's driving me insane.

I've never used the iSight in VMware, but I think I know the solution: you need to install the BootCamp drivers. You can do this by inserting your Mac OS X installation DVD and loading it within your virtual machine. The DVD should give you the option of installing the Boot Camp drivers. Once it's done you'll probably need to restart the virtual machine, and then you're set. (Note: this is how it was with the OSX 10.5 DVD; I haven't done it with 10.6, but I assume it'd be the same.)
Why is this necessary? VMware is able to connect your hardware devices to the virtual machine, but they're not responsible for the hardware itself. Without the proper drivers, Windows doesn't know what to do with it. Luckily, Apple provides those drivers in the form of the Boot Camp drivers, and those will function even if Windows is running only as a virtual machine.
While I have not tested the iSight, I can verify that after installing the Boot Camp drivers, Windows is able to utilize Bluetooth properly if you connect it directly to the virtual machine.
Hope it helps.

IPhoto in MacBook Pro 2013 only shows "place holders," but no photos, after data transfer from Macbook Air 32011

I am trying to transfer data from my MacBook Air 2011 to a "new" MacBook Pro 2013. Both are running Yosemite 10.10.2. Since Migration Assistant WOULD NOT WORK (the MacBook Air couldn't "see" the MacBook Pro), using my WiFi network, I transferred the necessary data to a 500GB drive and THEN to the MacBook Pro. However, two programs didn't transfer well - or at all! iTunes only transferred the Music (Media?) files, but not iTunes U, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc. I have had to drill down into the storage files, retrieve the non-transferred files and add them, one by one - a most laborious task. But, this is nothing compared to the problem with iPhoto (9.6), which shows only 6 events and 4 Faces transferred, with the rest only place holders (black boxes and grey dotted squares) in all the folders in my iPhoto.
I "Showed Package Contents," and found the missing files - of which there are many! - and started adding them, again, one by one.
Can anyone tell me what happened to my iPhoto (Yosemite 10.10.2)? It's fine on my MacBook Air, but simply WON'T TRANSFER to my MacBook Pro?
PLEASE - someone tell me how to CORRECTLY transfer my iPhoto files and/or HOW TO MAKE THE MACBOOK AIR "SEE" THE MACBOOK PRO in Migration Assistant?

Hello Mary,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with moving your data over to your new Mac. There are a few alternatives that you can do to migrate that data if you are not seeing it in Migration Assistant. The first is make a Time Machine back up to that 500 Gb external hard drive and then use that in Migration Assistant to copy the entire data over. If you do that you will want to remove any data that you have on your MacBook Pro after the transfer completes as it will create another user with the data from the MacBook Air. Another option is to use a Thunderbolt Cable that you can purchase online if you want and use the option from another disk to copy that over. Take a look at the articles below for more details.

HT1338 I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac

I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac getting the following error "to update your software you need to sign in with the account you used to purchase it" any help is appreciated

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage. This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port. There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options.

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

I cannot use Quicken on my new MacBook Air (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) Any suggestions? I love Quicken and it takes care of all my financial needs.

You can wait for Quicken to update (supposedly in the works) or you can switch to another application such as Quicken Essentials or another application of which there are several you will find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
Otherwise you'll need to return your MBA and buy a slightly older model Mac that still runs Snow Leopard. Lion will not run any PPC-only applications such as Qucken or MS Office 2004.
