Can you buy a mac book air in america then bring it back to england to use?

I will be going to america in the near future and was wondering whether if id be able to pick up a mac book air from an apple store over there. Should they work over here? Is there anything i should know ? thanks.

Yes, as other posters have said simply remove all packaging. Pick yourself a nice laptop bag and carry it on the flight as hand luggage, and don't declare it to customs! Buy yourself a 13amp US - UK plug and you're fine to connect the power cable to UK mains.
Also, if anything happens to go wrong with your Mac in the UK, so long as you are still in warranty it will be hounored in any UK Apple store.
Good luck.

    No.  Read the language part of the tech specs.

    If you need to have Thai printed on the keys, that is something you would have to contact stores directly yourself to find out if that is possible.  Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store.

  • HT1349 I want to buy a mac book air

    I want to buy a mac book air, currently I have a mac  book pro I bought applications for it. The question is ca I transfer to the mbair or do I have to buy them again? Even if I erase them from it?

    You can transfer both your user profile and all assorted applications from your MacBook Pro to your new MacBook Air using the Migration Assistant. You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them do this for you. If you are buying your new Mac from an Apple Store just let them know and they can assist you as well.

  • I can not get my mac book air off mute

    I can not get my mac book air off mute and it is grayed out in the "system Preferance" sound section page.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.app
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
        Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.

  • Can you operate the mac book pro 15 inch with out the battery?  I read somewhere in a post that it lowers the power to about 1 gig.  I asked apple and they said it is not true because you can use it with or without both together without affecting op pw

    can you operate the mac book pro 15 inch with out the battery?  I read somewhere in a post that it lowers the power to about 1 gig with out the battery.  I asked apple and they said it is not true because you can use the comp with the power adapter and battery together or either by itself and it will not effect the 2.16 gig.  Thank you.

    If you remove the battery the CPU power will be cut by 50% (whatever they told you) so that there's no lack of power or overheating issues. It's best to always keep the battery in.

  • Mac book air turns on then goes to a white screen. What should I do?

    My Mac book air turns on then gets stuck on a white screen.  What can I do to fix it?

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT4199 i can t mirror my mac book air via apple tv.

    i bought apple tv 3rd generation and have a mac book air from mid 2012. i have problems mirroring my mac to aplle tv. there is now morroring icon.
    how can i set that up ?

    First, uninstall Clean My Mac. Third party so called Mac cleaning utilities can do far more harm than good. Your Mac runs maintenance for you in the background.
    http://macpaw.com/knowledgebase/cleanmymac/how_to_uninstall_cleanmymac
    Restart your Mac after you have uninstalled Clean My Mac.
    Hopefully you have a backup of your Bookmarks so then can be reimported back into Safari ..

  • Can I leave my mac book air plugged in all the time at work, without damaging the battery?

    I know people may have asked this questions many times, however I intend on using my mac book air at work and would like know I I can leave it on powered on in the office and the unplugged at night?. Would it damage my MacBook?

    Yes. It will not damage the battery. You do not need to unplug it at night. If you use it from the AC charage all the time, then about once every two months you should use it on battery power until the battery drops below 20%. Then fully recharge the battery after which you should allow the battery to "rest" for about one hour. It is OK to use the computer during that time but do not yet connect the AC adaptor. Follow this practice and your battery should have a good life.

  • Hi, I can't sync my Mac Book Air and iPhone5 calendars. I get a message from iTunes saying that the sync server failed to sync iPhone.  Any explanations and/or solutions?  Thanks.

    What can I do to sync Mac Book Air and iPhone 5 calendars if the iTunes message says that 'the sync server failed to sync iPhone'?
    Thanks,
    Julian

    Read the KB. Earlier today I had a fail to sync - I closed my Calendar app and the reopened and all was good.
    Sometimes just closing the app the relaunching is all it takes. At other times a reboot of the Mac is all that is needed.
