• Is it possible to exchange a macbook for a macbook air?

  I want to know if its possible to Exchange my Macbook for a Macbook air free or not free because when I download something on the internet for mac and I have to open the download file, that it says mount failed or it cannot read the file, ITS A DMG FILE NOT A EXE also most of the things that I download are for other versions of mac and I'm trying to update my mac by clicking on the icon Apple and update, then yes also something also won't work as when I go to a website like math splash because his homework and I can't do it on my mac, I'd use my windows but I love my mac because that his laptop and also I feel that my mac is no longer supported for nothing I feel like that because I have an older version of itunes this setting to day can't because it says it cannot connect to the itunes server then Yes please answer and here are the details of my mac: Version 10.4.11 model identifier 2.1 Build 8S 2167 then Yes please please please please! answer so I don't have to get an OTHER COMPUTER im my house thank you and please answer!

  Apple does not have the times. If the computer is new and within 14 days from the date of purchase, then you can return it for an Exchange. It will probably not be free. However, you must understand that the problem you described is not caused by the model of computer you have, and it will not fix another computer or another. Given the age of your model, the best you can expect is for sale on eBay, although there are retailers such as Expercom.com which will give you something in trade. But for those who have it won't be much.

  For the model that you have you need to back up your files, the boot from your OS X DVD, erase the drive, then reinstall OS X and also far that you can improve it - which is probably the leopard to snow you can buy on the Apple Online Store for $19.00 plus taxes and shipping.

• do I need an antivirus for my area

  Do I need an antivirus on my pc to Surface

  Hello Carolyn,

  In a Word, no. RT of Windows don't don't need a 3rd party antivirus program (and can not install anyway), protection is built into the platform (Windows Defender, which contains the Security Essentials antivirus engine) as well as the RT operating system that can not run traditional Win32 (x 86) programs and has limited support for plug-ins - both are common for malware attack vectors and viruses.

• Fan noisy and slow speed for the Macbook Air with 10.11.4

  I hope you can help me.

  I upgraded 10.11.4 on my Macbook Air a couple of days. It is a model of 2013 Mid, 1.7 Ghz Core i7, 8 GB of RAM.

  I don't know exactly what my last update was - but was El Capitan any.

  I tried LANDAU and SMC resets.

  Previously, she has chugged along fine. The fan was quiet most of the time - only hit on when I used Lightroom.

  Now, the fan kicks on regularly, most of the time actually. And it's MUCH slower. Very lag sometimes when you type in Wordpress, for example. And lightroom is much slower. Also, when I use FaceTime, video often turns itself on and off--with a message informing me that it will resume when the computer cools down. Yet the back of the computer does feel not hot at all.

  I tried page of Chrome in Safari. Doesn't seem to help much.

  I am currently traveling to the Peru and did not my hard drive with my last backup, Time Machine, by hand, so as I understand it, I can't go back to a previous update.

  The Kernal task often seems to have a very high CPU %: 250 or.

  Right now, I'm trying to download the Combo, I read that this can sometimes fix glitches.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  The kernel uses excessive CPU cycles. Here are a few possible causes for the State. Some may not apply to you.

  FileVault

  Please, open the security and privacy pane in system preferences and click the FileVault tab. If there is an indication that the encryption or decryption is in progress, wait (possibly several hours) so he can finish and see if there is an improvement.

  Limitation of the

  When he does readings of high temperature in the material, or a MacBook battery low voltage readings, the kernel can try to compensate by interrupting the processor to slow them down and reduce energy consumption. This condition may be due to:

  ☞ an accumulation of dust on the logic board

  High ambient temperature ☞

  ☞ a defective battery or worn in a laptop

  ☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, temperature probe, a probe or some other component voltage internal

  Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there can be no real overheating or undervoltage.

  If the computer is portable, try with and without the power adapter connected. If pigs kernel_task processor only on current alternative, load is causing the machine to heat up. This behavior may be normal for some models, but it can also be an indication of a hardware failure.

  Apple diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, although not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more in-depth material test, an appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or go to an other authorized service provider.

  If all goes well with the material, then everything that you can do to improve the cooling can help.

  Software installed

  The software installed by the user which includes a device driver or other kernel code can thrash of the kernel. This category includes virtualization, such as Parallels and VMware software, as well as products 'anti-virus' more commercial. Some system monitoring applications, like "iStat", may also contribute to the problem. You can test this possibility to completely disable or remove the software according to the instructions of the developer or start in safe mode. However, it should be noted that the deactivation of a modification of the system without removing or test in safe mode is not as easy as you think.

  Corrupt NVRAM or MSC data

  Sometimes, the problem is cleared up by resetting NVRAM memory or MSC.

  External display

  Connect an external display to some models of MacBook Pro while the lid is open can cause this problem. If necessary, use the external clamshell modescreen.

  Other devices

  Disconnect devices wired everything except those needed at startup and remove all the expansion cards of third parties (if your model.) If the problem is resolved, reconnecting devices one by one by one until you identify the culprit.

• Win 7 drivers for apple macbook air trackpad

  Running win 7 on bootcamp on macbook air and the trackpad is not working well. Can move the cursor, but left/right click does not work

  This isn't the trackpad hardware itself because when I attach a USB mouse, the mouse works normally - no problem. And when I'm under Leopard, no problem either.

  So I need drivers and software updated, I guess. The ides out there?

• My iCloud data drive is too big for my Macbook Air 128

  I have an iMac with all my data synchronized with iCloud drive for all my devices, but just got a new Macbook Air with a 128 GB drive... and my iCloud data does not fit on my Air...

  How to manage what I want to be in sync to iCloud for my Air?

  I did that for years w / Dropbox or Google Drive, as part of "selective sync".

  THX

  Denis

  It will be easier with the next modernization of the system.  macOS Sierra will allow you to store your desktop and Documents folder on iCloud and download only a subset of your documents, if you have enabled "Optimize storage", see this link: Preview - Apple macOS

  Until you can upgrade to the new system, I disable iCloud Drive on your new Mac and access only iCloud by car via the web interface at www.icloud.com or remove many documents as possible to iCloud, so it fits on your Mac as a reader.

• You can load software Creative Suite for your macbook Air iMac

  Tried to charge my Creative as a result of my MacBook Air software and explains the problem with the serial numbers.  ... can 1 user, 2 computers you do that?

  You should not try to transfer from one computer to another, if that's what you do (your ad title makes it sound like that).  Use the installation files and make sure that your Adobe account to agree with what serial numbers lists for her.

  A single user license allows you to have two active facilities.  As long as the two machines meet the requirements for the software, you should be able to install and activate both.

• do I need an antivirus for my mac pro apple

  Dear friends

  I just got a message that I really need to scan my Apple for a virus and that my computer has been infected.

  I didn't click on the link of course.

  I am convinced that this message itself is a virus or an attempt to get into my computer or more.

  Which brings me to my question: do I need to have a program additional anti-virus?

  I understood that for Apple, is not really necessary and I update my software on a regular basis.

  Thank you very much in advance for your kind advice!

• Need remote for Keynote / MacBook Air

  My presentation remote died. Looking for a replacement recommended to use with 2013 MBA running OS X 10.11.5 and Keynote 6.6.2

  I usually present in the classrooms, but I sometimes present in large rooms. Audio volume control a plus. I have the video project

  Thank you

  If you have access to an iPad or iPhone using Keynote Remote would be the biggest part of what you want.

  I don't remember if the volume control is available. For me, the benefits are the ability to see the next slide (on my iPad) and the ability to 'draw' on the slide to point clearly to one area on the projected image.

• Why I can't download my songs iTunes purchased for my MacBook Air?

  I have an Air of 11 inches in mid-2011 and have improved the operating system to Yosemite, and she is allowed with I-Tunes and have a lot of storage space.  The last time I updated I-Tunes, now songs in my library I had bought (and frankly forgotten) there.  They will play only when I'm online, so are only streaming.  When I go on I - Tunes Store > profile > bought > not in my library > songs, I try to "Download all" or individually and it looks like he's trying to then stops.  What keeps me?
