Do the programs on Mac air count towards flash storage

Thinking about getting the Mac Book Air with 256gb SS hard drive. I'm curious if the applications ( such as excel, iTunes,etc) count towards the 256gb allowance? I'm wondering if most people have an external storage device with these devices that have limited storage.

As Niel said, yes. In general what takes up the most space are video, music, and digital photos. By keeping my music & video on an external drive (using iTunes Match for music) I've been able to live within the 256GB limits with plenty to spare.

Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed. The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

How to uninstall antivirus program on Mac Air please

Hi I have Mac Air OS X 10.9.4 and wanted to download McAfee antivirus program which requires removing my now defunct Sophos Antivirus. I have removed all Sophos files (per my computer) into the trash but still am told McAfee cannot download because there is still an old incompatible antivirus program. Please help. I am now unprotected. There is a Sophos "logo" in the tool bar but I don't know how to remove it...and it will not function when opened. Thanks much!

From Removal tools for Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac:
In some situations you may be unable to run the built-in Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac (SAV for Mac) uninstaller. This article provides a standalone tool to remove the installation of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac
Common reasons for needing this tool are:
If the product has been deleted (e.g., dragged to the Trash) rather than correctly uninstalled.
Where the uninstaller is unable to run due to a corrupted receipt file.
Download, expand, and run the applicable uninstaller for the Sophos product you installed.
Do not install McAfee.

You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

HT201276 tried to download a program from utorrent when i went to open the program my mac needed to restart. once it restarted it s been frozen ever since.

downloaded u torrent so i could upgrade to snow leopard. once i did that i went to open the program. it restarted itself and has been frozen ever since. when i turn it on it takes way to long to boot up. and when it finnaly does its freezez on the utorrent downloading page..

Before you tried to download Snow Leopard (via Torrent), what was the OS version you were using?
Did you check out your machine to see if it was capable of running Snow Leopard?
If not, read through this document and check your machine.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
Then post back with your findings and specifically how much RAM you have and whether you have the facilities, Find any File and / or Easy Find.

No you can't install Windows on an external device but you can once installed clone it to a Thunderbolt device.
>Didn't think so either. But cloning sounds interesting.
And there have been firmware updates for some TB devices so look for those and see who is supporting what.
MacSales but also directly on Sonnnettech.com and others.

Cloning OS X: CCC Version 4

Cloning Windows: I rely exclusively on Paragon HDM Suite 14 but there are others

Will a 2.66 mac pro accept SSD flash storage drive?

I am trying to find out if Mac Pro 2.66 OS10.6.8 will run properly using the SSD Flash storage drives that are now available?

I love just really get a lot more out of my Mac Pro now with Samsung $100 SSD than I ever did, and OWC or Amazon $15 adapters.
One easy great way to breath new life into 7 yrs old hardware.
$31 for 2x2GB FBDIMM to get more RAM is another easy and now cheap higher quality.
I feel like I bought a year and can skip "1.0" of any new OS plus new hardware until it too has had 6 months at least to iron itself out.
Don't be put off. That SSD III can and should work fine AND use it whenever you do get another Mac or decide to add a PCIe SATA SSD controller card ($150) to add SATA3 6G.

What are the differences between Mac Air and Mac Pro?

What are really the main differences between the Macbook Air and the MacBook Pro?
I am thinking of getting a laptop by mac. I like the prices of the Air but the Pro seems better performance.
However my needs are internet, email, word processing and some photos, pictures etc.
would i still be able to do many good applications on the Air vs the Pro?
suggestions please?
thanks

The base model current 2013 Air will perform faster and better in general than the base model 13" non-Retina Macbook Pro.
Ive got both of them.
On the Air:
Faster wifi (by far) 802ac
Faster boot and read/ write due to SSD
Much longer battery life due to Haswell upgrade made in June
Crisper sharper screen, better to stare at for long periods
MUCH FEWER parts to go bad,.....also only one moving part, the Fan
No HD to crash from mechanical failure
Packing the AIr around is a dream since is nearly the weight of an Ipad.
Dont get fooled like most do in seeing the super-skinny AIr as less than a full power machine, ....thats always someones first huge mistake when they see one.

Any screen problems or kernel panics on the new 2011 mac air? Help!

I want to buy a macbook air but i now that the old one (2010 late) has some problems - screen flickering, kernel panics and eventually death. I want the new ait but also i want a computer to work fine, not with problems. Thanks guys.

reinstalled the OS from the original CD with the wireless USB adapter attached and got a kernel panic, while booted from the original Mac install CD...
Apple states that no external devices are can be attached to the Macbook when doing an install. I suggest an SMC reset and then reinstall your system exactly according to Apple guidelines. When you get to the point of wanting to attach your wireless USB device - don't. It's entirely possible there are issues with the system and this USB product that have not been documented.

I can't update my macbook air 2012 to flash storage version 1.0

hello,
I'll install the update of my macbook air to version 1.0 but after the reboot the Mac app store shows me that I should update.
I downloaded this version from this website but the the same result. Any suggestions?

Are you running your Mac on battery or is it plugged into a power outlet? In order for the firmware to update, it must be plugged in. From the kb article you posted:
The power cord must be connected to your MacBook Air and plugged into a working power source.
If it is not connected to power, your system will just restart without giving any sort of message. They should probably make it a bit more clear that your system must be plugged in.
If your Mac was plugged in, we'll need to look further.

How to copy the previous data on mac air to the reinstalled one?

Bad luck happened as follows:
1. My mac air broke down, all white screen and power down.
2. I push command+R, in this model, I tried to repair my disc in "Disk utility". But the result was "cannot repair, please save your data to another disc"
3. So I used "Disk utility" to copy the data on mac air to my potable hard disc.
4. after copying all stuffs, which took me 2 hours for 120G. I reinstalled the system.
5.Now, the problem is I cannot restore my previous copy to mac air. I cannot erase the current system disc with my previous copy.
Also, the portable hard disc appears to be gray, other patitions are colorful.
Please help me~~~
Thank you!!!

the last disc is the one I used to copy

How can Apple tell that the liquid damage in my mac air was made by me?

Apple said my five months Mac Air has liquid damage inside and I need to pay more than $400.
I totally cannot accept it.
Please have a look below two pictures from Apple.
I can see corrosion, but how can Apple tell this damage was made by me?
Actually I can easily approve this was definitely not made by me because of this part's location.
Please have a look below picture. I circle it by black on the left above corner.
This Part is facing to the ground and is covered by the case like below picture.
All of above picture can easily approve I　cannot put water inside to damage this part without damaging other parts.
1. if water from keyboard, water will definitely pass by other places and damage other parts.
2. if water from buttom, there is protected by the case. How can I put water inside?
I believe that my case was just Hastily delt by one junior staff and later the manager just tried to cover his staff's mistake.
I know the apple's product is very good. But if apple treats customer like me, I believe sooner or later Steve Jobs would cry in heaven.
One of my friend told me normally there are several paper inside laptop and they will change the color if touching the water.
So people can tell the laptop was poured in water if several paper change the color togother.
I think this way is fair enough. But in Apple store when I asked the manager whether Mac Air has this kind of paper inside.
His answer is "not sure". I really do not know How can this man be manager!!
can somebody tell me whether mac air have this kind of paper inside the body?
Thanks,

this:
Did not exist at the point of delivery to the consumer.
Nor did the white corrosive agent present exist at the point of sale.
" exposure of copper alloys to moisture or salt spray will cause the formation of blue or green salts called verdigris. The presence of verdigris indicates active corrosion."
I see also 2 contact points with DEEP corrosion pitting not indicative of any defect from the factory.
