Does the Apple Snow Leopard install USB work with any macbook air?

Hi guys and girls,
Im changing the hard drive in my MBA 2008 A1237 from the 80GB HDD to the 64GB SSD. Ive seen a Snow Leopard install usb on ebay for £15 so ive brought it.... but I was wondering if it would actuly work with my particular Air?
As my perivouse exspriance tells me that some install DVDs are tied to cirent products such as my iMac install dvd wont work on my Macbook..
Thanks
Firky

The OS X Lion Thumb Drive isn't being sold by Apple, so you need Snow Leopard. Buy Snow Leopard from Apple and use the USB SuperDrive to do it. Then, open Apple menu > Software Update and install the most recent version. If you don't want to spend more money, stay in Snow Leopard, but if you want Lion, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I need to upgrade my first generation Macbook Air 1,1 to Lion OS x10. I need to install other software that requires 10.7 also a java update that requires 10.7. I am currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my macbook Air 1.1 will not go up to Mountain Lion. The Lion software update 10.7 is no longer available from the store or downloads.
Where do I get this?
It was only released a couple of months ago.
I really feel disinfranchised already by not being able to upgrade and keep up with other software needs but to not allow me to update to my full capacity is really ridiculous.

Does the new command 2 binary format work with Apple Push Notification Service? I receive an invalid response status code of 128.

Does the new command 2 binary format work with Apple Push Notification Service? I am sending 2 messages with the same payload to 2 different devices. None of the messages display on either of the devices. It seems that at least 3 should have been displayed. For my first device, I received a response with an invalid status code of 128 and the message identifier is 2 indicating that the first message was OK. However no message was displayed on the phone. For the second device, I did not receive any error response, but no message was displayed on the device.
Does ANS perform any validation on the message identifier? The Local and Push Notification Programmin Guide says the message identifier is:
An arbitrary, opaque value that identifies this notification. This identifier is used for reporting errors to your server.
I know that the device tokens are valid because the same tokens work when I use the legacy basic or enhanced formats. The phones display the messages correctly when I send to ANS using the old ANS message format.
Here is the data and the response:

what's 0 32 ? According to this page https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Concept ual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Chapters/Commu…
Item id should be followed by item length. But item length is obviously greater than 32 because device token's length is 32. Can you please explain why 0 32 were used? and do you have any insight on item id meaning ?

Does the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" work with all Samsung tv models?

Does the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" work with all Samsung tv models?

It's a VGA adapter. Nothing special about that. If your Samsung monitor supports VGA then it will work.
But why not go completely digital and use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to skip the analog conversion? It also supports passing audio over HDMI.

Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a macbook?

Hello All,
Will my Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a Macbook? I believe the model is either a MB061LL/A or MB062LL/A.
Thank You in advance!

Yes, and possibly the system that disc can install is not Intel compatible. It would have to be a late 2006 model, which was the start of the Intel series of Minis.

Does the Kate Spade Fairmount Stripe 13 laptop sleeve fits Macbook Air 13 inch perfectly?

Does the Kate Spade Fairmount Stripe 13 laptop sleeve fits Macbook Air 13 inch perfectly? Or is it like still big for MBA? As it states that it was designed for MBP. I would like to get one sleeve which is not too big as this would defeat my purpose of getting a MBA.. I'm considering to get the MBA 13 inch partly because I fell in love with the Kate spade's sleeve. Otherwise, I would rather get the 11 inch. Can anyone who purchased the Kate spade fairmount stripe 13' sleeve give me some useful opinions? Thanks lot !

You mean this thing?

If that's the one you want then no. It doesn't fit 'perfectly' because it wasn't designed for the MBA. It will cover your laptop completely but for obvious reasons it'll be too big.
Also I'm curious as to how a sleeve being too big defeats the purpose of getting a MBA. O.o

As you quote the price in 'Pounds' I'm assuming you are in the UK!
You might want to consider one of these from Amazon. I have one on my MBA and it works well.

I've bought leather case for iPhone 4 with a magnet clip situated on the back side just above the "apple" label. Can it interfere with any signals or made other damage?

I've bought leather case for iPhone 4 with a magnet clip situated on the back side just above the "apple" label. Can it interfere with any signals or made other damage?

I have been using a leather case with a magnetic clasp for months. The only side effect is that I need to recalibrate the compass app when I use it. This is really not a problem since I don't use the compass app very often. I haven't encountered any other interference or problems.

Mirroring is done over the local network so internet speed isn't relevant.
I would check istumbler.net to see if there is any interference

I have a wired keyboard which won't work with my MacBook Air unless I use the extension cable supplied with the apple keyboard. Is this normal or have I got a connection problem?

I Have an apple wired keyboard which suddenly won't work unless I use the apple ext cable supplied with the keyboard...used with the wire fixed into the keyboard it just won't respond. Do u think the keyboard is faulty. ? I want to use it with my MacBook Air and a big screen.

My best guess is that either there's a small deformation of the USB plug of your keyboard or some foreign matter (like lint) inside the keyboard plug. When I was setting up my new lab last year I had to use the extension cables and I found that the female end of the extension cable was considerably tighter than the computer's USB port. If an Apple store is nearby it would be worth taking the computer, keyboard, and extension just for piece of mind.
