Can I make a MacBook Air 2011 restore drive?

Sorry for repeating this question, I know it's been asked before, but I don't feel it's been answered as clearly as possible.
I have just bought a 13-inch 2011 MacBook Air (128GB model) and during it's first boot, a glitch caused what Apple Care called a ghost user account to be written to the hard drive, it stalled the computer at the end of the registraition and then started the whole process over again from scratch and locked me out completely, saying I couldn't use the name I had entered. I had to do an interent restore (which took almost four hours when it finally worked), which took several attempts and 3.74GB of data.
It is now back to it's initial boot stage again, but before I go ahead and set it up, I would like to know if there is any means of creating a backup that I can boot from in the future, should I ever need to do a clean install, as I don't want to go through the painful internet restore again.
I've read that buying the USB Lion drive from the Apple Store is pointless as it doesn't have the version of Lion on it that the MacBook Air ships with.
I tried booting the MacBook Air from a download of Lion from the App Store that I bought for my MacBook Pro, but that didn't work at all (I had already made a recovery disc from the App before installing it, which had worked a few months back when I rest my MBP but wouldn't work for the MBA).
I don't have an external hard drive, so I can't do a Time Machine backup either.
So the question is - is it possible or not - and if so, how do you do it (in the simplest possible terms)?
Thanks to anyone (in advance) who can help here.

You could use a flash drive, but they tend to get a bit pricey in sizes over 32 GBs. You might find it less expensive to use a plain old, ordinary USB external hard drive. However, if you're game you can buy a USB notebook drive enclosure and a 128 GB replacement 2.5" SATA SSD. You can find a cheap one for about $130.00. A straight USB-only enclosure can be found for $10.00. For more general info:
Basic Backup
Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
Synk Pro
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.
Clone Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue button.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Drive Preparation for a New External Drive
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

    Whatever you read was incorrect. You can upgrade directly to Mavericks. It is in the App Store and is free.
    Snow Leopard predates the operating system you already have. That's the reason it will not install on your MacBook Air. You spent $20 needlessly for it, but it's yours to resell if you wish.

    Hi Sberman,
    I searched in that place.

    This is firmware restoration for pro. It restores the EFI firmware. It is about 30 MB.

    This is firmware update for air. It is about 4 MB.

  • Connecting Macbook Air 2011 to Epson projector for Keynote

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect my Macbook Air 2011 to a brand new Epson (Powerlite 1760W) projector for Keynote presentations.
    I bought the recommended Monoprice mini cable from the Apple store but I can only plug it into my MBA (small squarish socket), the other end dosen't connect to the projector. It seems the projector wants a VGA cable into it.
    I'm lost. Do I still need the UBS cable between the two? Do I need a USB / VGA cable instead?
    Thanks in advance.

    Alison,
    In looking at the technical specifications (on Epson's site) for this device it would appear that you can make HDMI work - http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=V11H361120&BV_UseBVCookie= yes
    That being said, the HDMI end on the adapter and on the projector are most likely female. So you'll need an HDMI cable (the length will vary on how far the machine is away from the projector) but I suspect a 3 or 6 footer would work just fine. The cable is a male-to-male.

  • Firmware update on a Macbook Air 2011

    Hello guys, i have a Macbook Air 2011 that had the hard drive damaged, i installed a new one so him only starts on the Utility Page for Reinstall the OSX...
    This version of Mac Air are with troubles to Download/Reinstall the OSX using the Utility Page, him needs a Firmware Update to fix, but i just can't open that Update on the Utilities Page, i tried to put the Update Archive on a Pendrive using other Mac, and i just put the pen drive on the Mac Air and tried to execute the update file using the Terminal, but i got the error: cannot execute binary file.
    So how i can fix that Mac?
    I can't execute the Firmware update, and without fix the firmware update i can't install the Osx, i also tried to install a new version using the USB Drive Bootable Mountain Lion, but this kinda of Macs Air 2011 only accept a custom Lion OSX, that can be downloaded after the Firmware fix..
    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks

    You replaced the the SSD in a MBA that cannot be user serviced, so that's quite an accomplishment. Your model does not require a firmware update to use Internet Recovery - Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. Here's the process you follow:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • How to download lion in macbook air 2011

    hi
    i can not lion in macbook air new 2011
    because ask apple id !!!
    plz help

    You need to set up an Apple App Store account in order to be able to dowload software from the App Store. An App Store account requires an Apple Id (normally this is your email address). If you don't have one you can set one up. Note this is the same id you use for iTunes so if you have an iTunes account use those credentials.
    If you have a new MBA 2011 (i.e. one bought after about July this year) it will already be running Lion. To make sure go to the Apple menu (top left corner of screen) and select About this Mac. If the version of Mac OS X shown is 10.7 then that is Lion.

  • Macbook air 2011 reinstall problem

    I'm really tired
    Actually I have a Macbook air 2011 /4g/ 11" , I format my hdd from disk utility and now I want to access to startup menu to reinstall it, I try that with holding option key and it just show me the internet recovery, my internet speed is very low, after about 8 hours it's show me the start up menu finally and ask me to reinstall the lion 1.7 so on that time because of some issues I just turn my macbook off because I think everything downloaded,
    now, again when i turn it on for continue the installing process it's show me again the internet recovery and want to download from internet again
    how can i access to the downloaded data and continue my work
    command+r and option key again straight me on internet recovery
    please help me

    OS X Recovery requries a broadband connection as noted >  OS X Recovery
    There's no need to hold down the Option key to restore OS X.
    Hold down the Command + R keys.
    If your download speeds are less than 10Mbps, you may not be able to restore your Mac using OS X Recovery.
    If you can, take your Mac to an Apple Store > Apple - Find Locations
    In most cases, they will restore OS X for free for you.

    Guy would this be of any help:
    To start up your computer in Apple Hardware Test:
    Press the power button to turn on your computer.
    Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears. If Apple Hardware Test does not start up, see the Additional Information section at the end of this article.
    Note: Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT.  An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature.
    It takes a minute or so for Apple Hardware Test to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
    When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
    The Apple Hardware Test console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
    To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
    To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
    Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.
    To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.

  • After installing Mountain lion, macbook air 2011 very slow

    After installation of Mountain lion my macbook air 2011 got very slow. There has been a firmware upgrade too. Can you help?

    Hi guys! Just installed ML on my early 2009 MBAir (after market upgraded to a 240g SSD, but still just 2g of ram), and I panicked a bit at first when it turned out to be painfully slow and not displaying right (+slow trackpad!).
    Bear in mind that the first thing ML will do is index your files for spotlight, which takes a while and is a bit of a resource hog that will slow everything else down and cause your machine to heat up.
    I let it work all night, but by morning, my CPU usage was STILL at 100% and everything slow...
    Activity monitor showed nothing over 10% CPU usage... First tip was to display ALL processes in Activity monitor, and not just MY processes, to see what exactly was sucking up my CPU!
    Then, and it seems to often be the culprit on MBA's, it turned out that the kernel_task process was using up to 170% of my CPU usage (!). Problem is, that process sort of does a million things, so it can be hard to pinpoint the actual issue.
    One of the things it does though, is work against overheating...
    Given the download+install+indexing, my machine had been working all day and night, and was indeed getting super hot. Turning it off and letting it cool down for a whole fixed it all.
    Kernel_task is back to normal, CPU usage is normal, display and trackpad are back to perfect. And in the end, ML is snappier than SL for me, even with the bare minimum in memory!
    Good luck! <3

  • Time machine crashes macbook air 2011

    Hello,
    I'm using Macbook Air 2011 13 inches and running Lion 10.7.2
    I'm trying to use time machine on an external hard drive.
    But the time machine always crashes the whole computer while I leave the computer unattended for 2 or 3 hours. When I keep using it, it can perform hourly backup without any problem. Once i decide to leave my macbook unattended for over 2 hours, when coming back, the whole system crashes at the stage of backing up 0 KB of XX MB. I put the log below. I have changed the external driver so it is not the external hard disk that generates this problem.

    Is this the latest version of iMovie?
    Drag the app from the Applications folder to your Trash (don't empty yet). Also drag the .plist file to the trash by going to Finder > menu bar  > Go > hold down Option key > Library. Scroll down to Preferences and place these in the trash (if you only have one, that's fine):
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    Than go to the app store and re-download your iMovie purchase. Install and check for any updates.
