All Apple MacBook Air Customers Please read.

Hi I have a few questions about the New MacBook Air. These qusetions are to help me get to know a little more about this new Apple Product.
1. How long does it take to start up.
2. Does the blue screen come up and sit for a while like 10 to 15 sec.
3. I would like to know how long until it gets hot or very warm. Doing like iTunes, Safari, Mail, iChat, Text Edit, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book, Photo booth "that one usually sets off my system", Quick TIme, Preview, and any other app you wish to add.
4. How well does boot camp run.
5. Please test the sound i herd it was louder than the MacBook. And if you have a Macbook Test the sound side by side.
6. If you have a MacBook or Macbook Pro please send me pictures of them side by side.
Note: if you don't have a place to post them please feel free to ask and i will post my E-Mail address.
The only reason I am asking is because I live where there is no Apple Stores and there are only 2 resellers who have not yet there shipment in.
So Please respond i would love to here what else you have to say as well. Even if you can't answer any of my questions at lease just respond whit some information.

Oh i forget to tell you if you go into like textedit option shift k an  than you can change the font around that will change the appearance of the apple
But since if i change the font the web server will change it back.
Thats how i send my signature in mails
My Name Here -- 
Have a great Day-
On holidays i so have a happy or Marry ------------.

Being a 2009 model, it is likely the battery is worn out. Take it to a service center and have the battery replaced.

The MBA seems to cause several problems to several users on boot ups
On start up my MBA would not boot up the apple logo came on but only a blank screen appeared no fan i followed several start up recommendations but to no avail so I took the MBA to the nearest Apple repair centre again the same symptoms on start up ......very sorry sir you need a new mother board that will be $500 not feeling confidant in the product declined and was going to put it on ebay for spares.
On return home I pressed the start up button and it started normally everything was working fine i decided to reinstall all the software what has caused the problem I have no idea but it is after several attempted reboots it finally started on its own so don't give up if you have this problem it may come to life

I am connecting an external USB HDD and I can see it on my Apple Macbook Air. BUT this drive is READ only. How can I write to it?

Drive Partition and Format
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.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

Apple macbook air hinge defect -closing lid is considered accidental damage

Hi Apple
Is closing the screen normal operations of the macbook air?
my apple air has a defect with the hinge. could apple please change your policy to accept hinge as warrant on apple air models
purchased my air 28/2/2008 from Sydney Broadway apple shop. I think this was the first day they got delivery in Sydney.
Last week when closing the screen, it was about half way down, it made a crack noise, and the hinge moved. (see photo from link below)
I have been to two apple care centres in Saigon, Vietnam this week. Spoke to apple in singapore and usa. They all told me i broke it and the damage is accidental. Offically on paper it was "it might be accidental damage, warranty repair declined"
Many people have had this problem, mostly in USA.
Below is the link to a post i made on the problem. It has a photo of my laptop hinge, it is not as bad as others, because i stopped using the air as soon as it happened

PS. Apple Air is the BEST laptop yet for me personally. light, 13" screen, full size keyboard, multitouch huge touch pad, nice casing, no dvd player and osx
I have owned these laptops:
compact portable iii
dell latitude d600
toshiba portege 3500 tablet
fujitsu lifebook p7010
motion ls800 tablet
apple macbook air

If I can add my two cents... Mine broke just like the others on this thread, and almost like everybody else, the first genius I consulted with told me that it was accidental damage and that they won't cover it. I left the Apple Store and called Apple customer service, explained the situation, including the fact a 1800 $ computer shouldn't broke without reason, that there was multiple people on the internet with the same problem... a few days later, Apple called me to say that they will cover the display change under warranty. Still, i'm not impressed :
- The attitude of the first genius was very arrogant, telling me that I shouldn't try to "steal from Apple" by trying to cover accidental damage...
- When I got my MacBook Air back, the genius told me that they did put a new hinge design in there, which feels much more sturdy indeed. So if Apple changed the hinge design, they know there was a problem with the hinge, but they still won't change your failed hinge unless you complain : what kind of customer service is that ?
I'm feeling a class action over those first gen MacBook Air, really... 1800 $ gets you a computer that doesn't perform (kernel_task problem), with failing hardware (hinge defect).
By the way... mine have also a decoloration of the trackpad that Apple won't cover because they say it's "cosmetic". How ironic from a company who charge big preniums for design not to cover "cosmetic" issues.

Apple MacBook Air 11 inch, 13 inch, or Dell XPS 14 with i7 and nvidia graphics card?

I am a college student looking for either a MacBook Air 11 inch or a MacBook Air 13 inch. I was looking at the Dell XPS 14 with i7 processor and nvidia graphics card. It is similar in price to an Apple MacBook Air 11 inch. I will mainly use the laptop for browsing, a bit of Minecraft, watching videos (netflix/downloading movies), presentations, and documents. I would also need it to be lightweight because I will be carrying it around campus. I cannot choose between these three.....any ideas? I have an iPhone 5 and iPad with retina display (that is what I use currently and it is not working out). I just saw the WWDC14 and I saw how all my devices could connect to the Mac flawlessly.
Please let me know,
Thanks

I recommend the macbook 13" retina. Yes, it is expensive, but if you pair it with 8GB of memory, you should be futureproof for the next 5 years minimum. Why not the air.
Currently the air sports thunderbolt 1, This is super outdated. Macbook pro has thunderbolt 2 which allows you to daisy chain monitors via display port 1.2. Macbook Air sports display port 1.1a which only allows daisy chaining amoungst thunderbolt monitors which are expensive. $1000 minimum per a monitor where as you could pickup a daisy chainable displayport 1.2 dell monitor for $200. The only reason I am severely regretting my 13" Air.
The screen, yes, in a few years all screens will sport retina resolutions. It makes a big difference when reading and typing for long periods of time. Text is more clear. Also, 11" is way too small. If you want something that small, get an Ipad Air.
Battery life, 9 hours should still be enough to get you through the day. I go to school and I could only top out at 7 hours usage at most.
Gaming, Although I dont recommend gaming on any laptop because laptops aren't meant so much for gaming. Mostly because the heat generated from it kills the life of your laptop. It is up to 20% faster than the air.
Weight, half a pound off the 13" AIR is not a big deal. Actually the retina is smaller in height and width, so better center of balance when using it on your lap and the black bezel is less distracting.
Processor, its 10% faster in overall processing speeds generally.
Dont forget to purchase 2 year extended warranty. Buy that from bhphoto for 180 bucks. No tax and its way cheaper than apple.
If you still want the air after that, consider getting the 13". It comes with sd card slot, it is handy when you run out of space. And its 10% faster than the 11" even though they have the same processor. The processor's performance is based on the thermal threshold of the computer. The hotter it gets, the slower the computer gets to cool the processor down.
If you choose the Macbook Pro 13" RETINA(Not the $999 version with the DVD Drive), if you can, wait till late october when they update the computer with better hardware. Well... if you can.

I would like to know can I Run all my multimedia softwares on MacBook Air MD760HNA" successfully?
I would like to here an Expert advice because i am to buy within 2 days.
Many Thanks in Advance

I run Adobe CS5 on my 2011 MBA with no difficulties and the 2013 models are significantly faster with improved Intel integrated graphics so your experience would be better. If your budget alllowed it, a computer with a faster processor and integrated graphics would improve your experience with 3D graphics (compositing would be faster) and with graphics post processing. But the MBA can do it.
I'd strongly recommend you upgrade it to 8GB and at least get the 256GB SSD. If you do any extensive video editing the drive will get full quickly so you'll also want a fast external drive to move data on and off the computer. Also a 13" is rather cramped to having a larger external display would be a plus.

Apple Macbook Air Superdrive - MC684ZM/A

Hi fellow mac users.
I purchased a Macbook Air 13.3" (Model: a1369). I'm loving it.
I'm semi-new to Mac (not to computers). So please bear with me. To slowly ween myself off windows (not entirely though, because currently some things can still only be done in windows. I installed Parallel Desktop running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04. My Mac thus far runs as close to flawless without hiccups with all 3 operating systems running at the same time and without degradation in speed or quality (games in windows run perfectly in the virtual environment). Needless to say i'm thoroughly impressed by the hardware on a such slim design.
To my question. I'm considering buying the Apple Macbook Air Superdrive - MC684ZM/A. It got excellent reviews on amazon, but one of the things i was searching for in the reviews that i was hoping would be answered before i purchased was... if the drive would operate properly within windows and ubuntu on my macbook. I don't expect it to run on any of my other laptops or computers, I only want to make sure it'll run properly on all three operating systems within the macbook. Can anyone confirm if it works or not? Granted, i've found other drives at a cheaper price that seem to work with all three, but price really isn't my priority as is quality and i would prefer to keep as many peripherals apple as possible. I'm also kind of a minimalist, the smaller/slimmer the drive the better.

I've never tried it with Ubuntu, but it works perfectly in Windows under VMware Fusion. I'm sure Parallel's works also. It's just another virtual device assigned to the underlying OS.
I've had my superdrive since 2008 with the orginal Air and have been using it with the new 2011 Air and 2010 Mac Mini Server as well.
Regards,
Captfred
