Can't locate Power Nap on Late 2011 Macbook air

I've just upgraded to Moutain Lion and can't find the Power nap function anywhere. I have a new Air so I would expect to see it???
Is anyone else having this problem?

07/25/12 @ 12:44 PM - determined your machine is supported
07/25/12 @ 12:55 PM - determined a firmware update would be needed but that one does not currently appear to be available
07/25/12 @ 12:58 PM - reiterated discovery made at 12:55 PM
07/25/12 @ 1:54 PM - reiterated that you don't have the functionality available (4th time)
I think it's safe to say that we've determined that a feature of OS X Mt. Lion (on supported machines) is not appearing to currently be available. So we can safely expect a future firmware update to be released that enables the functionality. A firmware update that currently does not appear to be available.

  • No Power Nap option Late 2011 MacBook Pro

    Here is what the specs for Power Nap say:
    Power Nap
    Supports MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Does that mean that Power Nap is not supported with my Late 2011 MacBook Pro?

    I was reading that it is because one of the requirements is flash storage, , so I don't think it will be coming in an update. I have a Feb 12 MBP and probaly won't get the upgrade either.
    I had read that too. Fortunately, I meet that requirement. I have one of those expensive Apple SSD's. So that was not my problem. Sadly, I just don't have the right hardware for this feature.

  • Can I have Power Nap on a 2011 MacBook Pro with an SDD drive?

    I have a MacBook Pro 17 inch (Early 2011) which I bought from Apple built to order in September 2011. I chose an APPLE SSD TS512C for an internal hard disk. Is there any way how I activate Power Nap since its available to all other MacBooks with SDD hard disks?

    No unfortunately, the Enable Power Nap is not in the Energy Saver Preferences Pane. Yet from William's answer my MacBook Pro cannot enable Power Nap since my SSD HD is not onboard flash storage (which I guess come soldered on the motherboard).

  • How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

    How long is normal battery life for late 2011 macbook air?

    I would also note that the 11" and 13" have different lives.  While the 11" has a smaller screen to drive (and thus, in theory, less power) it also has less space for a battery.  So it turns out the 13" has a longer battery life, all other things being equal (same usage and the like).
    Clearly what's "average" will vary by user.  Depending on what I'm doing, I can get Apple's rated life (or darned close) or I could end up well short of that life.  The "rated" life is 5 hours for the 11" and 7 hours for the 13" but that is, at best, a very rough approximation.  As the picture in captfred's response makes clear, the actual usage of the machine has a huge influence.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Can not locate the airplay icon on my macbook air

    Hello
    I recently bought apple tv. As far i am very happy with it, but i am having annoying issue with the apple tv and my macbook air. The macbook can not seem to be able to stream any content to it, no matter what settings i change. It just seem to be missing completely the airplay option. I am running the latest OS X Yosemite update. Any ideas how i can solve this?

    Hello PWGltd,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to use AirPlay between a Mac and an Apple TV, your Mac needs to be one of the following:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

  • Can you upgrade your mid 2011 macbook air ram?

    Yes you can upgrade the ram of the mid 2011 macbook air, today I just asked an apple genius and they said they can but they cant do it in stores, they said it will cost approximately $200 but if you do it, it will be cheaper.

    The guy also said that he upgraded his. He also asked other workers about upgrading the RAM and they said yes you can, but maybe he thought I was talking about a macbook pro. I think what he meant was to change the logic board.

  • HT204032 Late 2011 MacBook Pro Power Nap

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro with a SSD from factory. Is there a way for me to have the power nap feature? I have tried the new firmware for the retina MBP but will not work. Theoretically there is no reason it can't work on the device I have 8gb RAM and a 256GB Solid State Drive.

    Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update.

  • How come Power Nap doesn't work on late 2011 MacBook Pros?

    I have a late MacBook Pro, recently bought Mountian Lion hoping I would get Power Nap, but unfortunatly not, could someone be able to explain why Power Nap is only for MacBook Pro Retina and MacBook Air please?
    Much appreciated.

    Because they have the 'official' Apple flash storage. Other flash storage devices on stock 2011 MBPs - such as SSDs - don't have the necessary firmware that Apple-sanctioned flash storage devices have.
    It was a bummer for me, too. I've a SSD and was hoping to use Power Nap on my late 2011. But I have a Crucial m4, not an Apple device.

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro Restarts When Power Connected

    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, 2.2 GHz with 8GB Ram with  OS X 10.8.2 and a series of unfortunate events.
    When I connect the magsafe adapter to the computer, after it has been shut down completely overnight, with the lid closed, the Macbook attempts to restart. The restart fails beause the lid is closed but leaves my Macbook in an unstable state. Unless I do a PRAM reset whenever this happens, I will have at least one random shutdown, usually within the first  half hour of use after the computer restarts itself. I have also reset the SMC controller, checked the hard drive for errors and tested the memory. I have been careful to make sure that the computer shuts all of the way down before closing the lid and disconnecting power. As far as I can tell at this point, starting the computer on battery, and subsequently connecting the magsafe adapter, does not cause any problems.
    I never saw this behavior until I installed Mountain Lion.

    Run an Apple hardware test and see if that picks up any problems.  If this phenomenon is consistently repeatable, I recommend taking it to a repair facility for a diagnosis.  This clearly is not normal operation.  I hope that you might be still in the warrantee period.
    Ciao.

  • Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

    here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
    "Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
    We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
    And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro can't boot after Yosemite install

    After installing Yosemite on this late 2011 MacBook Pro it stops about a third of the way into booting up. It displays a null sign. I can boot into recovery disk, or external HD (I don't have a backup of this system, but can boot from my MacBook Air's clone) if I use option-R or just option at startup. It won't go into Safe Mode. From the ext HD I have reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP, but it still freezes mid-boot. Disk Utility repair permissions, repair HD, zap PRAM, SMC, I've tried all of these (from reading advice here, and PM from Ogelthorpe). I have copied the Etre Report below. Suggestions?

    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then 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. 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. 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.
    7. Quit DU when it is finished and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the prob

    My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If successful, you should see two HDD icons,  Select the recovery partition (on the right).
    From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
    Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
    If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
    Ciao.
