Clean install issue on Macbook Air

Hi, I restarted Macbook Air on USB key, formated with disk utilities, and when I try to install Mavericks, installer is asking me to launch App Store to update Flash Storage Firmware to 1.1
As I formated my HD for clean install, how do I launch App Store app ??.. :-)
Why does the installer doesn't have checked that BEFORE launching disk utilities or formating ??..
What can I do ??..
Thanks
George

  • If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes?

    I have two questions...
    1) If I do a clean install on my MacBook Pro will I be able to re-install apps (FCP, Aperture, MS Office etc.) from a Time Machine backup, or will I need the original install DVDs with authorization codes? (because I don't have them)
    2) Has anyone ever seen anything like this before on their computers?
    The Apple Genius' were stumped by my laptop issues and said they'd never seen anything like it before and recommended I did a clean install. Below you can see my trash bin, and if you look at the "Empty" button it reads "N201" and then there's the "N39" to the left of it. You can also see these numbers over by the folder area--"SD5, SD6, SD7." But that's not all...
    When I right click on items I see the numbers again. Instead of "Open with" I get "N152" and there's an "N35" and "LB1" towards the bottom.
    I have no idea what's going on so I'm just going to do a clean install on my machine but I don't want to lose my apps. I don't have the original install DVDs for them anymore. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

    You don't lose them.  You can always redownload them from the app store after you log back in with your Apple ID.
    "Buy, download, and even redownload.
    You can install apps on every Mac you use and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own."

  • I have Works and Pages installed in my iMAC? I am wondering if I can use the same license installed in my MacBook Air?

    Hi there,
    I have Works and Pages installed in my iMAC? I am wondering if I can use the same license installed in my MacBook Air. Appreciate your help.

    HI Pam,
    You've posted this question in the AppleWorks community, meant for discussion of issues and techniques involving Apple's now discontinued productivity application, AppleWorks.
    The answer to your Pages question depends on how, and with which licence, you purchased iWork or Pages.
    If you:
    -Downloaded the thirty day trial of iWork, then purchased a registration number to activate it,
    OR
    -purchased and installed iWork from the boxed DVD retail package,
    then you purchased either a one user, one machine licence, and will need to either remove the iWork applications from your iMac when you install the package on the Air, or purchase a new copy of the individual applications you want and install them on the air.
    OR
    you purchased a Family Licence, which permits you to install and use iWork on up to five computers owned by members of the same family, living under the same roof.
    If you downloaded Pages (with or without the other iWork applications), then your licence permits you to download and install the application(s) on any compatible device attached to the same Mac app store ID as was the Mac on which it was originally installed.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left my icons stuck on the right side of the desktop. I want to move them but there is no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Suggestions?

    A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left me with my icons stuck in the grid on the right side of my desktop. I had the ability to move them and have them stay put in various sectors of the desktop, which I found very useful.  The clean install upgraded the OS to 10.6.8 from 10.5.8. I want to move them again but there I see no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Has the upgrade deleted that option? Suggestions? I am new to this community and if not new to Mac, I often feel that way. This is one of those times.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

    Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

    It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
    You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
    Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

  • I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

    I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?

    Do you have access to another Mac with a disk drive?  If so you can do it in one of two ways:
    1 - on the Mac with the optical drive launch Disk Utility and make a disk image of the iLife 11 disk. Connect the two Macs together and transfer the disk image to your MacBook Air.  Mount the disk image and install from it.  I have my iLife disks saved that way for quick and easy reinstall when necessary.
    2 - connect the two Mac together so you can access the MBA from the Mac with the disk drive. Insert the iLife disk, and install from the second Mac to the MBA.

    I have Outlook installed on my MacBook Air and it doesn't sync with my iPad mini or iPhone 4S when I delete a message. However, when I delete a message on either the iPad mini or iPhone, the message deletes on the MacBook Air.

  • How to install iWork on MacBook Air

    Hi,
    It would be appreciated if anybody can help me to install iWork to MacBook Air.
    I have another laptop with Windows 7 and problem finding DVD or CD Sharing on control panel.
    I believe iWork would provide the office tools like Word, Excel and PowerPoint in MS Office tools.

    I assume you have installed "DVD or CD Sharing" from the OS X install disc (or USB stick if you have the latest MBA)?
    Try installing it again perhaps.

    I just purchased Acrobat XI for Mac, downloaded/installed on my MacBook Air, but the software will not open/initialize. What is the problem?

    What is your Acrobat XI version?  If less than 11.0.09 I would suggest that you update, then try again.  Download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
    Note that you posted in the forum for Acrobat.com online services; you may get better help if you ask in the Acrobat forum.
