Wifi password on my mac air will not reset
after updating the OS software the wifi network is not recognizing my computer and it will not accept the password even though i have confirmed it
Yes,
This has been a bit troublesome.
You can do either of two things,
Change your Airport Name.
Open "Keychain Access" then search for "airport" in the keychan program and delete all the "AirPort network password" entries that are associated with this particular Airport.
This should resolve the problem.

My macbook air will not connect to the internet. There is an exclamation point in the wifi icon and when i go into preferences i see that it is setting its own IP address. I have a macbookpro that is able to connect with no issue. HELP
Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install. -
HT204150 Do I just take it as a given that contacts on an iPad and a Mac air will not sync?
Do I just take it as a given that contacts do not seamlessly sync between an iPad and a Mac Air?
If you've got all your ducks in a row, then they should sync.
Are they both signed into the same icloud account?
Are contacts turned on in icloud settings/system preferences?
Here's a test; log into the icloud account at icloud.com using a browser and lok at the contacts page. If there, then one of the devices managed to get the data to icloud, but the other is not syncing down (again, check to be sure both devices are connecting to the right account and that all is turned on).
If there's no data on icloud.com, then neither device is syncing. You must not have the settings correct. -
Mac Air will not switch on again
My Mac Air went completely black a couple of weeks ago and would not turn on. I have tried both the 'fixes' recommended by Apple support that time but it happened again yesterday.
I've tried thier suggestion of; SMC reset (ctrl, shift, alt and power hold) and also RP SMC (alt,cmd,P,R power and wait for the two chimes) but neither bring it back to life.
Its only two and a half years old - I thought apple products were more reliable. Apple support oddly go home at the weekend so I'm stuffed until Monday.
Do you have any other suggestions I could try?
ZoeThe same is happining to me! i really need to get my school work, but its not turnig on ive tried everything and i dont even hear the two chimes... i have lots of apple products and not all of them are THAT bad...altough my mac air isn't working properly any more.

HT1338 my mac air will not turn on
help me get my mac air to turn on
Found this in another post -- it should help, assuming you've tried simply holding the power button for 15 seconds already.
As a first step you could try an SMC reset followed by a PRAM reset:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Reset 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. -
My Mac air has suddenly decided not to turn on! Please help! My aunt gifted this to me and it does not have Apple care. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Try a SMC reset:

If that fails to bring life to the MBA, make a genius bar appointment for a FREE evaluation.

Mac Air will not pair with iPhone 5
I can not get my iPhone to connect to my MacAir--even though I go through the process and see the code number on both devices. After I click on connect an error message comes up that the MacAir in "not supported." Help
The iPhone DOES support Bluetooth profiles beyond audio.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
However, most profiles won't work with a Mac. -

My macair is not turning on at all. No response when I hit on button. I am panicking
Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Macbook air will not connect to the wifi network
I recently had to replace my wireless network router and now my macbook air will not connect to the network. it worked fine with the old wireless router. Now, i get a "unable to join wi-fi network" message. The network ID (SSID) and password (WPA) are the same as before. I try to manually enter the password, but continue to get the previous message.
Any help in figuring out how to correct this problem is greatly appreciated.
Also, I have several PCs in the house that have had zero problems connecting to my wireless with the new router. What am I doing wrong?Hi,
Ever since did the last airport utility update this has been happening.
I believe the airport utility update is solely a software update. Repair permission and repair disk (boot from your installation disk A) may help.
Other wise, http://osxdaily.com/2009/12/22/mac-wireless-problems-guide-to-troubleshooting-ai rport-wireless-problems-on-your-mac/ may help, too.

i have tried this 6+ times to "How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" on my wifes mac and can not get it to work!! On my PC no problem but on the MAC it will not work, follow the instructions to the T but no go????
It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.
If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account. -
will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list -
iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help
Sorry for the second post..
I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
To do that;
1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
2. Select Show Package Content.
3. Click on the Originals Folder
4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up. -
During the initial setup of mac book pro, I did the pc to mac transfer. After transfer was complete, mac had two user accounts aspen pc machine? and dell. Upon trying to access either, the mac says I have to enter new password to enter. It will not accept new password. What do I do?
Well....I bit the bullet and called Apple tech support this morning and agreed to pay my $49 for the tech support. I ended up talking to a Boot Camp specialist. In the end his position was that "they didn't support Windows" and my particular problem was a "Windows problem". I countered with the fact that they advertise that one of their selling points was that Windows could run on an Intel Mac and that I ought to at least be able to install Windows. They said that most people were able to install Windows with no problems. I agreed, but told them that, after searching the Internet, I had read numerous posts from folks that had the same problem and that Apple really should address it. They were very polite and even agreed not to charge me the $49, but their final position was that it was a "Windows problem."
I guess that at this point I'll try to return the Windows disk to Amazon and see if they'll give me a replacement.
