Hello, they guy that posted above me suggested to reinstall Mac OS X. that obviously only works if you have the original disc. but if you dont, what you could do is to make a new Administrator account and delete the other one. that would get rid of all your user files. if it doesnt then you could delete the rest manually.

Why my Kindle is not working on my Apple macbook air?

Close the Kindle app and restart it. If that does not help, try restarting your MacBook.
If that does not work, try deleting the Kindle and reloading it on your system.
Everything you got from Amazon will still be in your Amazon account.

Connection problems, macbook air to pocket projector.

Hi Kevan. What video connector is on your macbook Air? There is the Micro-DVI version OR the new ThunderBolt version. The Thunderbird version is squarer (looks a little like the USB socket on a printer) and has a little lightning flash (Thunderbolt) by its top left corner.
If you have the first one, you need this connector Apple Micro-DVI to VGA Adapter and a normal VGA cable (included oin the Philips box).
If you have a Thunderbolt connector then it would appear that you are stumped. This makes no sense as Apple sell this, projector in their stores - and it won't connect to any computer they currently sell (except the iPad).

How u do that

Hi,

With the use of the recovery CD that originally came with the laptop or an OEM Windows installer of your OS, do a clean fresh install. With this method everything will be erase and a new Operating System will be installed. With the use of the OEM/Windows Installer, it will even repartition, format the HD.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
