Q: OS X not working right. Can't get to info
Bought a used MacBook Air from a friend and can't get the OS X to work properly. Have a number of Apple gadgets but this is my first Apple laptop.
When powering up I get the OS X Utilities screen with 4 options. I can connect to the net using #3 which is Get Help Online.. I have NO disks or Time Machine BackUp. I cannot get to the serial number of the laptop using the software. I can get to the OS X Utilities screen which says Version 1.0 (48)
I have an Apple account and am logged in by using the portion of the Safari browser that does work.. I keep getting 'certificate error' on every website I visit, including Apple.com and Apple.com/support..
iPod touch, iOS 5, also exact same issue on iPad_1

Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
