64GB MicroSDXC on Macbook Air 11

I recently purchased a MicroSDXC reader and paired it with a 64GB. My Macbook Air 11" on Mountain Lion is not recognizing the card.
Paired with a 32GB MicroSDHC card, it is recognized just fine. From reading some posts here, it looks like SDXC should be supported on my machine.
Am I missing something and is there something I can do to make it work?
Note that I tested the 64GB MicroSDXC card and reader on a Windows 7 laptop and it works just fine. Tried formatting the card as FAT32 as well instead of exFAT.

Thanks a lot for your answer ! Very nice from you !
I do not have the F5 and F6 sunrise symbol. It means that my Mac is the old one. I am quite surprised though because I bought it on the 5th of july. I should have got the latest one then, shouldn't I ?
When was the new MBA launched ?

Macbook air 64GB upgrade?

Hi,
I am considering getting the new 64GB macbook air and I have a question. Later on if I decide I want more memory, is it possible to upgrade it via the apple store or to do it myself? I'm a bit confused because for the 128 GB one it says online "Configurable to 256GB flash storage" but not for the 64....

With Lion my advice is to get the model with 4 GBs of RAM and at least the 128 GB SSD.

Storage Issue- MacBook Air 64GB

Is it possible to upgrade an 11" MacBook Air 64GB to 128GB SSD?

As others have mentioned, OWC offers upgrades. They also provide excellent instructions on their site (although, the upgrade is super easy). They also include the screw drivers necessary to open your Air as Apple has chosen to use non-standard screws. The SSDs are on the expensive side, but not that much out of range from standard SSDs for similar capacities. Considering OWC is the only game in town for these, their pricing isn't that bad. In terms of value, the 240GB seems to be the best option.

I have a macbook air 64gb can I purchase more storage

I have a macbook air 64gb, was wondering if I can purchase more storage or if I would need to buy the air with 128gb?

You need to buy a new one sorry
or you could buy external storage
lastly you could use a company like this

but I think it may void your warranty.

For Garageband Use only - RevA Macbook Air 1.6 80Gb HDD or 1.8 64Gb SSD?

Hi,
I'm about to buy a refurb Rev A Macbook Air for only using Garageband. (Reasons for choosing it over Macbook are portability and screen quality).
Am I going to notice any difference between the 2 models (1.6 80Gb HDD and 1.8 64Gb SSD) for pure Garageband use?
- I'm mainly going to be using the software instruments/loops (but might on a rare occasion record in an audio track - never more than one per song though). I don't think I'd ever get to more than 16 tracks, probably maxing at about 8.
As they are $300 apart.
Also am I going to be able to run Garageband with an ease comparable to running it a new low-end macbook? As I know the RevA's get hot under the collar with some apps. I tried Garageband on the white macbook today and it was fine - quick, smooth and easy - but obviously there were no RevA Macbook Airs instore to compare.
Final question - as this will be my first mac and I have only tried garageband on a few occasions - what is the size of an average Song file with no audio running about 8 tracks of midi (so I can figure out how many I can get on the harddrive).
Many thanks for any opinions/answers/comments - all input is much appreciated.

Since you haven't mentioned how you attempted formatting the drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

No, you can only replace the SSD with a larger one and you'll need to use a 3rd party vendor (see OWC) because Apple doesn't sell SSD upgrades.

Can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

can i buy a smaller macbook air (64gb) but use the time capsule for additional data ?

If you plan to store important "original" or "master" files and documents on the Time Capsule, then you might want to think about a way to back up those files to another hard drive.
Why? If the Time Capsule has a problem...and you have no backups....you lose everything.

Problems syncing 64GB iPad 2 to MacBook Air 1st Generation

Before I had an iPad, I used a MacBook Air for portable applications and travel. I never kept much on my MacBook Air (just word files, and the occasional song or photo). I had an old iMac for home use, and to sync with my little mini-iPod for the gym. (The iMac has a huge photo archive and gym music; the MacBook Air has some old precious family photos, some recent trip photos, and a more car-friendly, thoughtful collection of music. It also now has back-up from all my iPad 2 applications, books, movies, iTunes classes, and music)
Since May, I have been backing up my iPad 2 64GB to my 1st Gen MacBook Air, and loading more photos and songs on my iPad and my Air. Silly me...I clearly wasn't planning ahead...since there are only 72GB of memory on the 1st Generation Airs. So, of course, now the iPad 2 has 36GB or so of data on it, and the MacBook Air has run out of room. I can no longer sync, and all the apps on the Air are running slow!
I tried moving all media files off the Air to a 1TB external storage device, but that's unruly. When I try to sync, I get difficult questions about whether I want to "replace all files on the iPad 2"? And even if I were brave enough to say "yes", with so many files on an external device, the MacBook Air no longer feels portable.
I'm open to buying new hardware (say, a MacMini, or--after taking some months for saving money, a new laptop or desktop). Or combining iTunes profiles and photos somehow between my iMac and Air, and then syncing to the iMac instead of the Air, and letting the Air become once again a relatively empty portable laptop. Or will the iCloud solve all my problems?
I'm looking for suggestions and solutions....

I had the same beeping problem, using an apple cable plugged directly into one of my iMac's USB ports. Worse, at one point in trying to eliminate my iPad Air beeping, iTunes would not recognize my iPad as a device. After trying various remidies I saw posted, I elimited the beeping and was able to sync with my iMac by doing the folowing:
1. Restart both my iMac and iPad, with them disconnected, and an apple connection cable in one of the iMac's USB ports (not in a USB hub).
2. Open iTunes on the iMac
3. Eject every device that iTunes identifies, even though they are not connected (for me, two iphones and my wife's iPad). After uyou eject the last device, the "x devices" button will disappear.
4. Connect the iPad Air to the iMac via the Apple cable. I heard a single beep, and iTunes found my iPad in about 5 seconds.
5. I was then able to sync/backup my iPad to the iMac.
Hope this works for others.

Xcode/eclipse C++ on 11" MacBook Air with 2GB RAM, OS X Lion and 64GB SSD?

Hey, I'm planning on getting a 11" MacBook air with a 2GB RAM, 64GB HDD and OS X Lion. I am also going to get a 500GB external HDD with it and I would just like to know if it would be good to run Xcode or eclipse on it so I can code C++? Please note that I will install Xcode/eclipse to the external HDD If that affects the performance? Thanks.

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. I have both XCode and Eclipse. It should work fine.

Need help for MacBook Air, is 64Gb enough?

So i was thinking, is there enough space in then64Gb macbook air (2011 11'')? Not going to use it for big games just surfing the web (Facebook, YouTube, google), maybe some applications (Angry Birds and stuff) but not much.. Anyone please help, so basically gonna use it to surf the web not a "proffesional use". Thanks

Yeah, the only reason I would say to get the 128GB MBA is because of the ram. The base model RAM ($999) isn't enough speed considering that you have a solid state drive in your presence.
In regard to the harddrive alone, I like to keep my harddrive organized, so I find smaller harddrives actually beneficial, since if I'm given the space, I would use it up and let things sit on there I don't use. With 128GB, I keep a LaCie Porsche mini harddrive with me, where I dump all my movie and music files, and what not. I either play those movies straight off there, or I put a couple movies I seriously will watch in the near future. I never think that I will be caught in a disaster situation where I would need 6+ hours of movies in one sitting, so I always keep the inventory I keep on my MBA slim. And if I ever need a movie, I really don't mind attaching the mini ext. harddrive for a few minutes to download that particular movie.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Should I buy a new Macbook Pro 13 inch or Macbook Air 13 inch?

Hi,
I was wondering if I should buy the new Macbook pro 13 inch, or keep my old 2010 1.4 C2D Macbook Air. I am not satisfied with the tiny 64GB SSD that my current Macbook Air has, because just a few weeks after I had done a clean reinstall of OSX Lion, the whole disk almost filled up. The one thing I do like about the Macbook Air, however is the speed of the SSD. Its really quick, and it boots in under 20 seconds. The Air didn't have many performance issues (other than overheating like crazy after playing a few graphics-intensive games).
If I were to buy a new Mac, my price range would be from $1200-$1500. I plan to use Garageband/iMovie frequently for making Youtube videos/school projects, and store a large music library. I also plan to do some moderate gaming and run Windows 7 in Bootcamp/Parallels. I don't plan to take it around much, but I don't want to have to weigh down my backpack in case I have to. My two options now would be the new Macbook Pro 13 inch or the new Macbook Air 13 inch. Could anyone give me a suggestion of which computer to buy?
Thanks!

I went through this same thing when I purchased my first Mac 3 days ago, also between the 13 inch MBA and MBP. I ended up deicding with the 13inch MBP, here's why:
1. More hard drive space, yes it may not be an SSD but more space is more space. I have also heard about people taking out the disc drive and adding an SSD in its place, so there would be an option.
2. The disc drive, I rarely do use it but just in case it's there and easier than carrying around an external.
3. Upgradability, I plan on keeping this Mac for a while because I spent so much on it. On a MBP I can upgrade the internal parts such as the hard drive and RAM. On a MBA everything is soldered together so what you buy is what you stick with.
4. Ethernet port, this is one that could be gotten around by an adapter but I still took it into consideration. Not everywhere has wifi yet including my work where every computer is hard wired.
5. Bootcamp, as well I plan to run Windows 7 on mine and Windows 7 takes a good amount of space so this is another spot where the larger hard drive of the MBP comes in handy. You could always have an external hard drive and run Windows 7 off of that on an Air but then you would have to have it always plugged in when you wanted to run Windows 7.
About me, I am a student so I had a lot to think about and read a lot of reviews online before I decided on my MBP but I am glad I decided on this over an Air. It may be a few pounds heavier also but in the long run for me I think the Pro will be better, I do plan on adding more RAM in the future as software becomes more memory intensive. With you're pricerange being 1200-1500 the 13inch MBP with the i7 processor may be one to look at. From Apple with their student discount, if you are one, you get $100 of plus a $100 giftcard. At BestBuy (where I got mine) the price of the i7 13inch MBP is 1,424.99 and if you're a student you get $100 off but no giftcard. I got the i5 13inch MBP because I don't need an i7.
In the end it all comes down to what works for you, but I hope I was able to help you some.

MacBook Air blank screen, no start-up and three beeps - but now fixed?

Hi - My MacBook Air 2011 11in 64GB wouldn't start up for the last three days. It was working fine, then the screen went bonkers and I turned it off by holding down the power button. When I hit the power button again, there was no start-up, the screen stayed black and there were three beeps, short delay, three beeps again. I Googled and it seemed that it was a RAM problem, so I was planning this morning to take the machine to Dr Apple. But just to be sure there was still a problem, I tried starting it one last time and it started up as normal and seems to be working fine now.
Should I still get it checked out? I had been travelling and using it in some pretty hot temperatures when it died, and it's now back at home where it's cooler - could the problem have been something to do with the heat, do you think?
Don't want to use it if I'm making a problem that's there any worse. Much appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Before taking it, run Apple Hardware Test. If your Mac came with an USB drive, insert it and press D key while your Mac is starting. Then, run an extended test and check if it shows a problem.
If your Mac didn't come with an USB drive, press Option and D keys while your Mac is starting and run an extended test. If you see an error message, copy it here
