Upgrading Recently Purchased Macbook Air?

I just bought a macbook air about a month and a half ago. Since then, there have been announced updates to the air lineup including a 720p camera, an ivy bridge chipset and usb 3.0 ports. It seems unfair that I would be getting all of these extras for the same price as the "old" air, so can I return my air for an updated version?

You're outside the 14 days 'no questions asked' return period, sorry. I guess you could ask them but at some stage they have to cut off the transition.
If you feel you must absolutely have the latest model you could sell your old one. I'm sure somebody would be happy to get a relatively new model Mac at a reasonable used price.

I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

Hi All,
I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now. In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want. TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

I am trying to license my recent download of Lightroom 5 onto my recently purchased Macbook with the serial number of the disk I purchased last year for my Windows PC (an upgrade from Lightroom 4). I receive an error "The serial number you entered is invalid". Why does CC not recognize this as a valid serial number?

Soyouca how did you install Photoshop Lightroom? Please uninstall the current installation using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed please download a fresh copy of the installation files from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh. The update contains the full installer so please download the latest version of Photoshop Lightroom 5.
You may be asked to enter your serial number for Photoshop Lightroom 4. You can find information on how to locate the serial numbers under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

Have just purchased Macbook Air is there an equivalent program to Excel

Have just purchased Macbook Air , is there an equivalent program to excel available already on the Macbook or do I need to download a program.

My two cents:
Numbers 3.0, which is either preloaded onto the Air or a quick free download from the Mac App Store, is a very powerful application that opens many (probably most) Excel spreadsheets brilliantly. (My work involves using Excel daily both on a PC and the Mac and I was surprised by that.)
For most things Numbers 3.0 is, in my opinion, a far more agreeable environment to work in than OpenOffice, which I've tried recently. (I haven't tried NeoOffice or LibreOffice). OpenOffice definitely has more features, though.
Numbers 3.0 is not a print-oriented application, so if you need to print out lots of documents you may find it lacking. It's more oriented toward collaboration via iCloud sharing and to syncing to iOS devices than it is to printing. It's also good at charting. Numbers is now very powerful on the iPad, convenient for showing work to others in an interactive way, and doing work while you're on the go that syncs back automatically to the Mac. The syncing, a problem with the old version, now works very well.
In the calculation department Numbers 3.0 lacks the equivalent of Excel's array functions and some advanced statistical functions. It also doesn't have the equivalent of VBA; no scripting. It doesn't have pivot tables, but there are good workarounds. It's got tons of functions, more than the old Numbers version, far more than most people actually use.
If you need 100% compatibility with Excel in order to work with others who have complicated formatting or printing needs or are doing sophisticated statistical analysis or working on huge long spreadsheets, then the only application that qualifies for that is Excel. It's a real workhorse on the Mac, an excellent program.

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

How do I backup ALL of my iPad content onto a newly purchased MacBook Air? I can't backup up apps or music from CDs through the device backup function.

First you need to authorize your MBA with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. This will transfer/copy all iTunes content on your iPad that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
Photos on your iPad that were transferred from your old computer need to be transferred from your old computer to your MBA.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal if you aren't syncing this content over the air with an iCloud account, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your MBA. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your MBA with iPhoto or the Image Capture application.
