20 Most Recent Apple MacBook Air 13.3" Laptop Questions & Answers

There's no fixing issue if nothing is broken.
Just make sure you repair permissions before running the update.
However, why stop at 10.5.3? Why not go straight to 10.5.7?

Its simple, just download it off the apple website,
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
since you on leopard "1.5.2" you may need to run a system update because you should have been updated to 1.5.7 by now
so if safari still does not work that is why, you need to run a system update.
Here is a little guide on how to do that http://www.switchtoamac.com/guides/mac-os-x/software-update/manually-run-software-update-on-mac-os-x-leopard.html
One thing though if your new to mac's the apple menu is the apple icon in the top right corner :D

I'm sure this has been answered by now (in another post), but you boot to either an OS DVD or USB drive (and you can use a version other than the one you have installed); once booted to the non-hard drive OS installer (hold the option key down on boot-up to see bootable options), in the menus will be a password reset.

Resetting the PRAM may do the trick: You reset the PRAM by rebooting a Mac and then immediately hold down the Command+Option+P+R keys, you will then hear the Mac reboot sound again, signifying your PRAM has been reset. You must hit the key combination before the grey screen appears otherwise it won't work. you've tried rebooting, you've reset the PRAM, you've done it all, but your Mac is still behaving strangely. What next? In certain circumstances, resetting your Mac's System Management Controller (SMC) can be a solution. This is sometimes necessary to restore normal lower level system functionality to your Mac. Here's how to reset the SMC on any type of Mac (and any version of OS X) and the type of problems that it may resolve. When & Why Reset SMC on a Mac? Some Common Hardware Reasons Typically it's power and hardware related issues that can be helped or resolved by resetting a Mac SMC, particularly if you're having these types of problems: * Issues with your Mac's cooling fans and fan management: fans run constantly at high speed, fans run high despite low CPU usage and adequate ventilation, fans not working at all, etc * Power management and battery problems: Mac isn't turning on, sleep isn't working, random shutdowns and reboots, battery isn't charging, Mac won't wake from sleep etc * Light problems and improper lighting management: battery indicator lights aren't working, display backlighting isn't adjusting to ambient light changes, keyboard backlights not working, etc * Video and external displays not working: display brightness functionality not working properly, target video mode isn't working properly, external display isn't working, etc * General performance and functionality problems: abnormally sluggish behavior despite no CPU or disk usage, external ports not working, airport & bluetooth aren't showing up, external devices are not being found, etc So now that you've concluded you need to reset your SMC (Note that the SMC is on Intel Mac's only), here's how to do it on MacBook's, MacBook Pro's, iMac's, Mac Mini's, and Mac Pro's. Notice that the reset instructions are different for MacBook and MacBook Pro's if you have an internal or detachable battery.

Hello there, If you have downloaded it from iTunes, you should be able to locate it in iBooks. To open iBooks simply enter "iBooks" in the launchpad search bar. You now should log in with your app id which you used to download the book from iTunes. If you downloaded the Book from another web page then you should be able to locate it in your Downloads folder. To locate the folder just open finder and find "Downloads" in the left column. Hope this is useful.

Hi, try forcing to quit using the option+command+esc combo and see if it is there. If not that means is in resident memory. So go to your apps folder and open Terminal. Once there write 'top' and hit enter. You should see it there, running... if so, do a search for "kill an app in terminal" to get instructions about removing it from memory. Once off running try to erase it. Remember that there is also an option of erasing using the option key while asking to delete something... Hope this helps.

Hi Laurie Select an email to delete move down the list by e.g. 5 messages Hold Shift Key Down Select last message in group of 5 All messages in a row will be selected. Hit DELETE KEY They get placed in deleted items in case you wish to recover later. OR Select an email to delete skip down list one or two Hold APPLE Key (Cmd Key) Select next message continue down list Press APPLE Key just prior to clicking email message This will allow you to randomly select from a list Just hit Delete Key when ready These Keys apply the same principal in many programs on the Mac You can do the same with a directory in any window. Good Luck Trevor

in the apple drop down menu there is a thing that says about this Mac. It will pop up a screen with some basic info, if you click on the part that says version it will show you the serial number. Cut and paste that info into google or go to a mac website that identifies machines by the serial number. Should be easy to find with a google search. Sometimes they give models like 5,1 or 6,2 etc. Sometimes you have to actually look and try before you can get the answer you want. I have a MacBook late 2009 2.26 unibody. I had to find that out the same way I just described so I could find parts. You can also go to ifixit.com and see if that helps to id your machine.

screen connection or lcd are probably bad.

clear the debris under them if there is any. if not, and rebooting doesn't help, you might need to reseat the cable for the keyboard. If that doesn't work, the keys may be bad.

see ifixit.com for complete tear down instructions.

Capslock on the iPad is done by double-clicking the upper-case button. Double click it again to bring it back to regular lower-case. If not, restart the iPad.

rebooting means cutting it off and on again. A server is a totally separate machine.
