Why is electricity flowing through my Macbook Air and into me?
When my MBA is plugged in (both with or without a surge protector), I can feel electricity flowing through the MBA into me, creating tingly feelings at my fingertips. When someone touches me, they can actually FEEL the electrical charge across my skin. I don't get this problem when running off battery. Any ideas as to the problem? Do I have a faulty electrical outlet or a faulty MBA?
Very common "Issue" with the computer. Becasue the machine is a Unibody design made from Aluminium it is very common for the electricity to somewhat flow through the body of the computer. you should'nt have any more than a light tingling. If there is any more than a tingle then it could be an issue. I would recommend using the prong with the grounding pin to ground the computer. My macbook pro used to have the same "issue" and a genius explained to em why it happens and how it isnt an issue.

I was using my wife's MacAir while my Macbook was in for repairs and now all of my printers want to do through her Macbook Air and unless it is on and on our home wireless, I can't print. Is there an easy "fix" for this?

Hi,
I am currently replying to this as it shows in the iChat Community.
I have asked the Hosts to move it to Snow Leopard (you should not lose contact with it through any email links you get)
I also don't do Wirelss printing so I can't actaully help either.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

I would like to be able to show my iPad3 screen through the Macbook Air that is connected to a projector. I attended an Apple Training presentation and the presenter was using this set up-how do I get it set up correctly? I also recently purchase Apple TV because the presenter said that she was using this device with the Air and the iPad.
If you are trying to connect the iPad to the Macbook, then try this app: http://www.reflectionapp.com/ The iPad also supports connecting straight to the Apple TV, so you could try it that way too.
Hope this helps! -
How do i copy content from one hard rive to another through my macbook air? the copy and paste option doesn't work
It's because of the extension of the hard drive is a Windows extension ( most likely MSDOS or Ex-FAT), meaning you can only read but not write. If there are no important files (or you can copy the whole thing to your computer/mac) you can just reformat the hard drive and change the extension to NTFS (readable and writable on both windows and mac) or Mac OS Extended (readable and writable on Mac, readable on windows).
Go to DISK UTILITY
Choose the Hard Disk you intended
ERASE
You can choose either
(I personally prefer this one, you know just in case) -

Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!
Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then tap Settings > General > Date & Time
Switch: Set Automatically ON

I have a new MacBook Air. I set my password the other night when I was half asleep and can't remember it. Im still working on my old MacBook Air and can't get through the password gate on my new one. How can I reset it on that computer? I can't even get to the internet.
Thanks!Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.
Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate products designed to run on seperate products.

Envy 4500 has stopped printing off both a Macbook Air and a Pro - was fine before
I've been very happy with my printer/scanner but today it has stopped printing off both my Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. The printer seems fine so not sure why this has happened. Please help!
Hi @Swaggie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Envy 4500 is not printing from your Macbook Air and your Macbook Pro. I am happy to help you with this printing issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following information:
The version number of the Mac Operating Systems. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies. Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If there are any error messages on the printer's display panel.
In the meantime, please take a look through this guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you soon!
