MacBook Air requires Bootcamp 2.0.1 and not 2.0ormer

Took me a while to figure this one out and I couldn't find that it had been covered here.
If you run the Bootcamp assistant on the new MacBook Airs, the printed documentation omits to point out that you MUST use bootcamp 2.0.1 and not 2.0. The former comes on the new disks which come with your Air. The latter version is on the Leopard DVD. Version 2.0 will blue screen XP when it tries to install the drivers (after you've installed XP).
It's kind of obvious that you should use the new disk, since the drivers are likely to be new for the Air, but blue screening and zero documentation on the problem is likely to give some folks a speed bump.

What leopard DVD?
I have the MBA DVD Disk 1, with leopard on it and Disk 2 with xcode/utils. Are you saying what gets installed on the system is not 2.0.1? I indeed looked up @ the get info and saw that bootcamp assistant is 2.0. If what you are saying is correct, can you please tell HOW you get 2.0.1 off the MBA disk 1?

  • MacBook Air microphone picking up background noise and not my voice?

    Hello! I really like my MacBook Air. It is truly the best computer I have ever had. However, I was very disappointed whenever I attempted to use my MacBook Air's micrphone to find that it was picking up the background noise, and not my voice. I can hear my voice whenever I record something, but it is very quiet, like the background noise cancelling software is treating my voice like the background noise and the background noise like my voice. For example, it picks up every little bump on the computer and every click and press of the key, but it won't pick up my voice at full volume! I know it is not a software problem as I reinstalled OS X, and whenever that didn't work, I erased and reinstalled OS X. Any suggestions?

    macbook Air condenser mic assy. is easy to remove and replace.  (see pic below of Air mic assembly).
    Mics are delicate instruments as is their nature, however the damage you experienced is either damage, or defect, nobody can know.
    However I can accurately say without doubt its very rare what you experienced.
    the little condenser unit could have been defective, and gave out, or myriad other possible's. I cannot pinpoint it over the web, even if I had it in my hands, still couldnt because youd have to dissect the tiny little mics to find out, and nobody will do that, just yank the old, and install the new ones.
    a 'painless' repair however to be certain, quick and easy to do.

    You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
    And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
    A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
    There may be (an)other way(s).
    Perhaps someone with recent experience
    in this matter can reply & discuss options.
    With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
    Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have a macbook air with osx 10.6.8 and it has a 1.4 GHz intel core duo processor and 2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. I want to use icloud but am afraid buying the version of osx that is required will bog my computer speed down, or change the user inerface. I

    I am not computer savy and like my macbook air because as a college student, and father that is very busy, I don't have to learn to re-use it every month after it crashes from a virus. Am I able to load the new version of osx that icloud requires onto this computer without changing it substantially or slowing it down?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • HT4437 Can I use AirPlay on my MacBook Air?  I have an iMac, and it works great with Apple TV.

    Can I use AirPlay on my MacBook Air?  I have an iMac, and it works great with Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If it's compatible, you have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, you will be able to turn on AirPlay on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep with OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly

  • My MacBook Air has OSX Version 10.9 and suddenly I can no longer access iPhoto including all my photos on my computer.  I have tried to update iphote but the message says I signed on with a different password and I can't update.

    My MacBook Air has OSX Version 10.9 and suddenly I can no longer access iPhoto. THe message says, 'You can't use this version of the applicaitonn iPhot with this version of OS X.  You have iphoto 9.3.2." When I try to update iPhoto, I get a message saying I signed in with a different apple ID and password.  This all happened about the same time I got a new iphone.  The iPhoto icon has a circle with a line through it.

    Hi Rachel,
    Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

A: my MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.

    this has never happend before and i am starting to get worried..

  • My MacBook Air has reverted to iphoto 7 and seems resistant to upgrade. I am on OS X 10.7.5, and in the process of upgrading to Maverick. Any ideas?

    My MacBook Air has reverted to iphoto 7 and seems resistant to upgrade. I am on OS X 10.7.5, and in the process of upgrading to Maverick. Any ideas?

    Nope
    for sure iphoto did not "revert" to a previous version - if the version has changed it is due to something you did and you need to share that
    What exactly is your problem?  To upgrade to Mavericks backup yoru system and download and install OS X 10.9.x Mavericks - then purchase iphtoo '11 Version 9.5.x from the app store and install it - tehn download and run the library upgrader (it is downloaded to the utilities folder in your aplicatiosn folder) and then launch iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x to finish the upgrade
