    The MBA is so small and thin many people can't help thinking it is like a Windows netbook - an underpowered toy. It isn't. There's nothing I do on my top end iMac that I can't - and don't - do on my MBA. Of course the iMac has a faster processor, bus speed, and a discrete video card so it is much faster than my MBA. Then again, my computers spend more time waiting for me to do something than I wait for them - and this includes using Photoshop and compiling code.
    If I were writing large programs - something like Word for example - I'd want a very fast processor to speed up the compile/debug/compile cycle. But for iOS development your codebase will be much smaller. Frankly I can't see that much difference between a 13" MBA and a 13" MBP for development purposes. Now a top of the line 15" MBP is a different matter with its much faster CPU and separate video card.

    super keyword is used when there is inheritance (class extending other class). In your particular case, super keyword doesn�t make sense, since there isn�t inheritance between A and B. You can use the INT field by an instance of A class.
    a keyword like "parent" does not exist in java.

  • Is mac mini 2010 good enough for iphone app development?

    I'm planning to get a Mac Mini 2010, with 4GB of ram instead of the default basic 2GB. I'm getting it to do iphone app development. Is this computer going to be sufficient? Are there any caveats I should be aware of?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I got exactly that setup for exactly that purpose... even the 4GB upgrade Even without the ram upgrade it should still be fine for iPhone app development. I've not run into any problems with mine.
    I got my ram upgrade because I want to run Windows inside MacOS using virtualization software - that kinda thing requires lots of ram.
    You might want to wait two days though before you buy. Apple has an event on Wednesday (October 20th) and it looks like there will be a lot of focus on Mac, possibly some hardware upgrades and a new version of MacOS.

    Thanks for the info - will check to see what year my iMac is.  Hopefully purchased after 2009.  Appreciate the promptness of your reply.  It looks like all systems go - so again, thanks for the help.

  • USB Ethernet Adapter for 2011 Mac Book Air with Lion OS 10.5.8

    I just bought a new Mac Book Air with the Lion OS. I need a USB ethernet adapter for it. I am unclear if any of the Apple or non Apple products listed on line or EBay will work on this new computer with Lion OS. Please advise on purchasing wither a Apple product or a Ebay non Apple product which ar e half price.

    Yep. Any such adaptor should work. All they need do is comply with basic USB 2.0 protocols and they will work on virtually any computer that has a USB 2.0 port.

  • Can I upgrade my iMac (10.6.8) with the prepackaged Lion on my new Mac Book Air?

    In August I bought a new Mac Book Air prepackaged with Lion OSX.
    At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Since I purchased a copy of Lion prepackaged with the Mac Book Air, is there some way I can use my Mac Book Air copy of Lion to upgrade my iMac?
    Or do I need to purchase a copy of Lion specially for the iMac?
    I live in Japan, so it's hard to get clear English advice sometimes!
    Thanks

    You need to buy a copy for your iMac. The version that comes with your MBA cannot be transferred.

  • I have sync'ed my ipad with my new mac book air, but some of the images did not download!

    I have sync'ed my ipad with my new mac book air, but some of the images did not download to the computer. 
    I need these pictures! 
    Iphoto does not see these images.  How can I download them into my computer?
    I have tried using a PC to view the iPad as a HD, but it also does not find the images... yet I can visualize them!!!  I need to make sure I do not lose these pictures!!!!  How can I get them into my new computer?

    In iOS 7 you cannot transfer photos and videos anymore to or from your iPad as if it were a USB device.
    You must sync them using iTunes:

  • HT5219 Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

    Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

    Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

  • I can't print on my HP Photosmart C309a from my new Mac book air

    I bought a new mac book  air and with the new version system iOS X 10.9.1 I can´t print. I try to add it as a printer and it posts, ¨Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.¨. Is there anything I can do???

    Hi gachy1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are unable to install the printer on Maverick.
    I will be happy to help you.
    I have provided the URL for setting up the printer with the Apple Software Updates.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Make sure when you add the printer it shows the printer's name and not Airprint.
    (you might have to click the dropdown to select the printer's name)
    This document shows you 3 different ways you can scan on the Maverick.
    How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
    Hope this resolves your issue.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a good day!

  • HT1338 my new mac book air can't mirror but my ipad can

    my new mac book air can't mirror with apple tv but my ipad can.  How do I fix this?

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.
