Why does coconutBattery say that my Mac is already 7 months when in a fact I bought this 13" MacBook Air just last August 4?  This is somewhat disappointing.

Read about coconutBattery from various blogs and forums.  I downloaded it and, lo and behold, read on the details that "Age of your Mac: 7 Months"!!!.  This is just 3 weeks old since I bought it, and just almost a month old since the new MBA refresh was released by Apple!  Did I get suckered by the 'Premium Reseller' or by Apple, or is coconutBattery not reliable? Disappointing!

The age you currently get from this tool is wrong, maybe it will be fixed in a later version.
You can determine the age of your MBA by having a look at the serial number. The fourth letter tells you the build year. The letter 'F' means first half of 2011, the letter 'G' stands for the second half of 2011. The fifth number or letter gives information about the week within this six months. Mine has a 'G' and a '6' meaning 6th week in the second half of 2011.
To find out how to get the serial number have a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1941.

  • Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.

    Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
    There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

    Try a re-set. If that doesn't fix it, restore. If that doesn't fixit, Set it up as a new device, preferably by putting into DFU mode.
    If none of that fixes it, the WiFi radio has physically failed.

  • Why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted?

    why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted< yes even the trash

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Why does itunes say that my iphone has 9GB of video data even though I've deleted every video I've ever made

    Hello,
    When I use itunes on my macbook to view the contents of my iphone 5, the bar at the bottom of the window that shows me how much data is taken up for different categories says that I have 9 GB of video data. The thing is, I deleted all of the videos that I've ever recorded on my phone, but itunes still says I have 9.15 GB of video data! I ejected my iphone and plugged it back in multiple times to see if it was a problem with refreshing, but that didn't work. Itunes also says that I only have about 3 GB of free space left and when I go to the settings on my iphone, it says the same thing, so I know that there really are mysterious files on my iphone taking up 9 GB of space. Also, both itunes and my iphone says that I have 83 video files. I've deleted as much apps as I could, just incase there were apps that had video files included in them, but that didnt really work. I also opened the video app in utilitties on my iphone and it said that I do not have ANY videos. I don't really know what else to do.
    Is there any way to just see all of the files on my iphone? Itunes does not let me do that. It only lets me view certain files from apps like adobe reader. I need to find out what video files itunes is detecting on my iphone. Again, I've deleted all of the videos that I made on the phone by using the photos app. I never downloaded video files from safari either.
    Thanks in advance

    since moving to the mac from windows, this seems to happen less. I also found that having some videos marked as "remember playback position" resulted in a lot of updates to the ipod when i had watched them through itunes.

  • Why does Mail say that I cannot move items to the trash????

    I cannot delete email the "normal" way. When I set up my POP account, it created a second trash folder with the same name as my mail account. There are thus two folders in my Trash can - "On My Mac" and the one named after my email account. When I try to delete any mail it says that I cannot move anything to the Trash folder for my Mail account. I have to DRAG all email I wish to delete to the "On My Mac" Trash folder. ????????
    I just want to be able to click delete and have email go away! Why is this not working?
    Thanks.

    Select the mailbox you wish to correct, then select "Mailbox > Rebuild"
    Then do a PRAM reset:
    PRAM RESET
    Zap the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Why does itunes say that i have music on my iphone that i do not?

    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone can help with this, its really doing my head in.
    Until now, I've always deleted songs off my iphone using itunes on my pc. With the new ios and itunes update, I'm no longer able to do this.
    The one thing that is annoying me the most is when connecting my iphone to my pc, I select my iphone and then On This Iphone. For some reason, its showing me songs that I don't have on my phone. There is no way for me to delete this information. I've checked my actual phone and the songs listed aren't actually on the phone but I was wondering if anyone could tell me why its telling me I have music that I don't.
    Any suggestions?
    Can anyone also tell me if there is a way to use itunes on my pc to delete songs off my iphone? Yes I know you can do it directly via the device but I want to know via itunes on a pc.
    Thanks!

    Yes, I also have an edit button.  I'm trying to create a new folder with a name of my choosing.  When I choose edit, I go to a screen that allows me to add one of a number of pre-named folders.  There is no way to add my own.
    When I look up how to do it online, what I get are great instructions with screen shots that don't look like what I have on my iPhone.  There are also bars on the top and bottom of these screen shots that I don't have   I clearly do not have the same version.

  • Why does Apple say that I`m using 5 computers whilst I only have two?

    Hello! I`ve got a problem with iTunes. I usually use iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Today I installed it on my PC and entered my Apple ID. After that I got a message from Apple saying that I am using 5! computer - and I sure am not as I only have two ( My XP laptop has given up a long time ago - it doesn`t exist anymore. Got no iPhone, no iPad either). Can anyone tell me what`s going wrong here?

    Some of your computers may have been (or still may be) using multiple authorisations.
    Perhaps try doing a "Deauthorise all" and then reauthorise the computers you still have access to? (That should get you back down to 2 authorisations.) See the following document for instructions:

  • Why does it say that the USB is empty when I try to connect my ipod nano to my car?

    I have other devices that will connect to my car without a problem so I know it's not the car... When I plug in my nano it says that it is empty but there are clearly songs on it and I can't find anything for that trouble shooting...

    Does the car's manufacturer/stereo say that your particular model and generation iPod is compatible with it?  That would be the first place to start.

  • HT204053 Why does it say that there was a problem with a previous purchase and not let me download apps?

    Everytime I try to download a new app it says that there was a problem with a previous purchase and then it said that my card was declined

    These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know what the problem with the previous purchase might be.
    Does the name and address on your credit card match exactly the name and address on your iTunes account, and have you checked with your card issuer to see if they are ones who are declining it ?  You can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
