There is a code in the box that you register with the serial number of the Mac on the apple website. It's very self explanatory once you get it

I got one for Christmas too (in black, not green tho!), but haven't tried to download any photos yet, so I'll have to get back to you. I have a new MacBook with 10.5, so we'll see... I guess your post has me a little concerned too now!Meanwhile, are you plugging into the USB port directly, or using a card reader (which will be MUCH faster because of USB2 speeds, vs USB1 through the camera's cable)? It might make a difference. Does iPhoto even recognize that a camera is plugged into the iMac, or does nothing at all happen?I'll update here in a day or two after I plug in my own camera to find out what happens... or DOESN'T happen!

My experience is that it works, but for some reason (no idea myself) it is not communicating properly with the Mac's power management tools. I did a battery calibration (as recommended by Apple - basically a full charge, then run on battery until the computer dies for lack of power, then full charge - but Apple has VERY specfic procedures so search their support site) but that didn't change the message - atleast not immediately. After a week or so, ( about 3 charge cycles ) the message was gone, but then came back after it died after running from the battery for a few hours, and is now gone again on mine. I've been using it for 3 weeks or so I guess. I think the battery calibration process should have made this go away after 2 charge cycles - but it didn't for me. And the calibration process has not properly enabled the hibernation to disk the macbook is supposed to do when the battery gets very low - but the estimated run time is only 15 - 30 minute more than I get. For me, it was not a significant drawback of this cheap clone battery - but I am pretty cheap :) I would be raising a fit at the apple store if a $120 battery from them behaved like this.

im typing on it right now with my 2012 macbook air...i have my macbook hooked up to an external monitor and whenever i put it to sleep and then turn it back on its not connecting with the keyboard and i am unable to enter my password. so for now i need to open up my macbook and type the password on the laptop keyboard to log on...but once logged in the keyboard connects and works fine.

Hi Ryan - I use this mouse currently with my Macbook Air. They do actually "work" but there isn't anything in Apple's System Preferences that globally allows you to set their function. I have full use of them in other programs that allow me to activate hotkeys. Ie - A video game where I can set the hotkey to an action by clicking the mouse button. I'll try to find something about globally setting them but for now, look into your programs to see if they will let you set hotkeys or macros.

There should be a 1 meter cable included in the box that has regular USB on one end. The USB end plugs into the MacBook. check to see that it's there. Below is a list of the box contents..."In the boxJAM0.5m cable for connection to iPad and iPhone1m cable for connection to MacQuick start guideVelcro strip"

Just few questions..Are there any dents / scratches ? Do you supply the OS CD with it ? How much is the battery life ? How much is the hard drive memory ? Do you supply the adapter with it? Suppose if this laptop's APPLE id is already with previous owner, are the login details provided so that I can change the ownership or can I create a new ID online ?

That sounds like a setting on the phone that may need to be set or changed. I bought this for my grandson and he uses Mac and it has worked beautifully with his iPhone and MacBook Air. You may want to check with your carrier or google the settings for your phone.

Your MBA is the same as mine and this AppleCare worked fine for me. The 'old version' refers to the AppleCare package itself, I believe. Anyway, they email you a scan of the box and a legitimate receipt, both of which are necessary to validate your AppleCare with Apple and prove that you bought it from a legit dealer, if you need to use it. The email confirmation of the order indicates that it was 'shipped' and I mistakenly thought something was going to be mailed. The email scan and receipt is all you will receive and actually need. I consider my transaction to have been a good deal.

when i purchased mine, it was pretty decent condition. the battery for it was not proper for the specific body though, it was obvious due to gaps around the compartment and a difficulty to turn the lock. thats not terrible though, it didnt effect performance at all, and i, in fact, use the battery for another macbook i have that had its battery crap out on me. dents and scuffs, minimal really. the hard drive i received on mine was slightly smaller than described as well, i didnt mind. it was advertised 500, and came with 320. for the price i didnt care. the computer itself came with a list of programs and apps that were not installed on my old macbook which i bought from the mac shop itself such as microsoft office, and imovie, etc. i do have to say though, that the computer crapped out on me after about 3 or 4 months. the operating system or hard drive i think crashed. i have not since had it fixed because macs are expensive to fix and also because im lazy. so overall the price is right, however i believe if you want to buy a mac, your money might be better saved to either buy a certified macintosh referb, or a nice new one from them with warrenty and everything. after all, macintosh has some of the best customer service in the world. good luck with your purchases my friend

Plug it into the tv first and make sure you're on the right hdmi setting.. Then plug it into the MacBook last. Sometimes it picks it up right away and sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a couple times. When it picks up the MacBook you'll have to open the movie app that you're trying to watch and click and drag as if the screen was addition to your laptop screen. It won't duplicate your monitor like a windows does. There's also a setting for mirror imagine in the status bar by where the clock is. Turn that off. If you need detailed video instructions youtube is where I got all my questions answered.

Go to Apple Support, Apple care and then Register. That should take care of it for you. There you will put in your number.

Mine worked the first time. I can only think of the basic. Put in brand new battery. Do a complete shut down of the macbook. Turn off blue tooth and back on the Macbook. The last think if you got a friend with a another mac see if it respond to his. You may have got a bad one. I know you may have try all this but maybe not.

Yep. Got everything with mine. It appeared actually to be brand new. I would not hesitate to buy from these guys again. Awesome too. I've since added the wireless adapter for it. Very sweet. As far as a driver issue I didn't run into a single issue. I was running OSX, Mountain Lion and have since upgraded to OSX Mavericks.
