Early 2014 Macbook Air Boot Camp update?

Hello support community,
I have recently switch to Mac, and find the machine very easy to work with. But still i miss some windows application, and i thought that my Mac would have boot camp support. I have never been so wrong, as the boot camp cannot download the lastest updates
So, my question is, do anyone know when they will release official Boot camp update for this Macbook air early 2014?
Also, should i play it hard using the rEFIt? Driver conflict may be an issue there.
Please help, and sorry if I did anything wrong, as this is my first post.

I'm afraid they are not the case. I prepared a FAT usb, the copying process was done, and it stuck right at the "Downloading updates" kind of things for hours. After some research, I deducted that this is because, according to recent boot camp update, the MacBook Air 2014 is yet to appear on the list of supported devices.
Guess I'll have to wait a bit more.

I am trying to install windows 8 at my macbook air boot camp

I am trying to install windows 8 at my macbook air boot camp but Boot Camp Assistant i showing an error that the disk cannot be portioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disc and use disk utility to format it was a single Mac OS Extended (journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant Again.
I had already installed teh first time Windows on my MacBook Air and Mac Book Pro. Actually I had more issues to install on the pro than Air.
But my Macbook Air had an issue on November 2013, 3 weeks after buying it and Apple gave me a new MacBook Air but they only transferred the information on my mac and the windows partion was lost according to them, they could copy it in to my new MacBook Air. Now that I am trying to install my windows I can not access to the aprtion section and get the error message from above.
What can I do to to install it? I am using a 32GB USB and OEM Windows 8 at USB External Drive. The same I used before. I dont know understand what changed if I did it before?
Please advise..

I think there's some remmants left over from when Apple transferred stuff over. We can try a quick fix, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option is to clean install OSX and then install Windows.
open disk utility, confirm that you only have 1 partition (mac journaled)
restart and PRAM reset
open disk utility and repair permissions twice
restart boot camp assistant
Does it work?
If not, I would boot holding command+R, choose disk utility from the menu and completely erase your HD (formatting it as mac journaled again). Then, install OSX on this HD. Once OSX is installed, don't copy your files over from the backup yet. Instead, start boot camp assistant and see if you can get Windows installed. You can copy back your other files after we get Windows installed.

Early 2014 MacBook Air Won't Connect to Wi-Fi

I recently ordered a new modem from my ISP, and discovered that the horrendous firmware that came preinstalled blocked out all of my forwarded ports. Since this is one of those combo routers/modems and I already have a router, I called my ISP and told told them to bridge my connection to my main router. After having my connection bridged, my forwarded ports are functional, but my MacBook Air refuses to connect to Wi-Fi. Every other computer, tablet, and phone in the house connects just fine, so it really makes no sense to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi davidfromwinfield,
I am sure it is frustrating to have changed your network configuration and have one device not functioning as desired. One thing I would suggest to you would be to make certain that your router is set up correctly and that it uses settings as suggested in the following article -
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

Handoff not working between iPad Mini Retina and 2014 Macbook Air

So, I've upgraded to Yosemite today on my 2014 Macbook Air and have updated to iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad Mini Retina.
Both are on the same wifi network. Both have bluetooth enabled and are paired.
Both have handoff enabled on them.
With all that, I cannot for the life of me get handoff/continuity to work between them. I've reset both machines and reset network settings on the iPad but still no joy.
Am I missing something?
PS I don't have an iPhone, but I'm assuming it should work between an MBA and iPad?
Thanks in advance.

Hello JMC1989,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like there is a problem with handoff. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

How reliable is the 2014 MacBook Air and its PCle Flash storage?

I'm planning on buying one from my local Best Buy, but I don't know how reliable it really is. I love the idea of having all day battery life, which is a huge plus for me, and the thinnest of it is simply amazing. I did heard that it has some sort of SSD, which I'm assuming it's PCle flash storage, that makes things so much faster. I don't know anything about them, so correct me if I'm wrong. But is the SSDs reliable? just don't want to get something that's going to be a paperweight in a year. I was expecting to keep mine for, let's say, 3 or more years, which is what I usually do with my notebooks.
Anyway, long story short, is the MacBook Air durable, and worth the investment?

That's good. So, in other words, the early-2014 MacBook Air model - with PCle flash storage and a Haswell processor - is a good notebook that should last me a very long time (with proper care)? I'm going to college soon, and I was planning on sticking with this notebook for 4-8 year - for college work, and every day (casual) use. I heard MacBook Airs, or any MacBook with a SSD, are extremely reliable, but I don't know if that's true.
I never bought a MacBook so please forgive me if my questions are annoying.

Audition CS5.5 not working on 2014 MacBook Air

Greetings!
Just upgraded computers (from a 2008 MacBook) to a 2014 MacBook Air (13", Early 2014). I had Audition CS5.5 on my old Mac so I deactivated it, installed it on the new Air and activated it. Everything seemed to install smoothly, but when I open the program and open an audio file, it just doesn't work, plain and simple. I hit play and nothing happens. I try with the spacebar and nothing happens. The play button lights up, but nothing plays. I can add effects to tracks and see that changes are being made in the waveforms, but can't listen back. Even after making changes, I cannot save those changes.
The specifics:
13" MacBook Air (Early 2014)
1.4 GHz Intel Core i5
4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Running OSX Yosemite (10.10.3, same as my old MacBook with no issues)
As for Audition, it's CS5.5. There don't appear to be any updates available. I know that I can upgrade to CS6 and I have no problem paying the upgrade charge, but will only do so if I know for a fact that the issue will be resolved. And honestly, unless there are earth-shattering updates, I'm perfectly happy with 5.5.
So there it is. Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be? I've done some searching, but can't seem to find anyone with the exact issue I'm having. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Thanks ryclark!
I checked the audio settings and all appeared to be right. Just to be safe, I re-selected the correct options. The right drivers were also installed, but again, I re-selected it just to be sure. And viola! It worked!
Very strange. So essentially I changed nothing, but not it works. Can't thank you enough for the speedy response!

2014 Macbook Air running slow?

My 2014 Macbook Air seems to be running a little slower since updating, I have a lot of memory available and I haven’t downloaded anything from the web. I’ve also done the resets and emptying cache in Chrome and all that, it started running faster after that. I don’t know if its just chrome or the whole system.

Webroot is the likely culprit.    Most antivirus software slows down Macs.   In general good safe computing practices are sufficient to prevent viruses. No peer2peer software. No opening of attachments from unknown sources.     No opening of attachments that have extensions that Macs can execute (.exes are harmless unless Windows is on the Mac).   If you must have anti-virus ClamAV or Sophos are better.
Ask the authors of Webroot how to completely remove their software so you aren't left with lingering effects.

Boot Camp Update failure

Hello good people, hopefully someone can help.
Issue: Boot Camp Update 2.1 failing to install.
I recently did an erase and install on my MacBook. I have run through the steps provided by the installation guide (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/). I then went to the Apple Software Update program within Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit), selected Boot Camp Update and selected Install 1 item. I then selected Boot Camp Update Download Only from the Tools drop down menu. I then opened the Open Downloaded Updates Folder...selected the downloaded file and selected Apply. that procedure produced a system restart. Restared and tried again, same result.
I have tried the above steps with security software enabled AND disabled.
Does anyone have a step by step resource to sucessfully install Boot Camp Update 2.1?
Thanks for reading, if you have any questions or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Martin

http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista32
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1845
Do you have 10.5.5 DVD or later? you may not need 2.1, and it was a two step update, first to update Apple Software Update itself to 2.x, then to update other components.
Some programs like iTunes, Safari 4 beta and others include an Apple Software Update (and cannot be not installed, it gets installed regardless of choosing not to).
Some problems can be related to default language settings.

Are the dimensions of a 2014 macbook air the same as the 2012 model?

I want to buy a full body protector for my 2014 macbook air but the only one advertised on a particular website I'm looking is for the 2012 model. Will it fit?

Howdy Chauncy88,
To see if the dimensions of the 2012 and 2014 MacBook Airs are the same check out the spec sheets.

MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v2.0 update available again and again. How do I fix it?

I have installed MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v2.0 three times and I still get an update available notification asking to install it again. This is a mid-13 MacBook Air running OSX 10.9.3. System info lists the SMC version as 2.13f7.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hi,
- Are there any status or error messages in /var/log/install.log
- The Firmware version it should install is 2.12f137
- If there isn't anything in the log try:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
and/or About NVRAM and PRAM
and check whether there is installation.
If no install, try OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode
then reboot normal, try the install again.
Hope this helps

Early 2009 MacBook Air. On startup no keyboard or mouse me to login. Neither is the USB working so I cannot use an external mouse or keyboard either.

Early 2009 MacBook Air. On startup no keyboard or mouse me to login. Neither is the USB working so I cannot use an external mouse or keyboard either. If I keep restarting the machine suddenly sometime I get mouse and keyboard control and I am able to login and work. After sometime though mouse and keyboard Control is lost again and the machine hangs.
Lately another problem has cropped up. Now the machine starts up and seems to work for longer time but I have no 0 key and USB everything else is fine.
What could be the issue

1. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

MacBook Air Boots to OS, then screen goes dark.

I have recently been working on an older style (A1304) MacBook Air with the 128GB SSD. I've been working on Mac's for years, and have worked on hundreds, but this is the first time I've ever come across this particular issue.
Liquid damaged MacBook Air. Keyboard and Trackpad mainly took the brunt of the spill. Popped off the keys, cleaned it all up. Button for the trackpad no longer works, but everything else does. Entire computer was disassembled, no other liquid was found.
MacBook Air boots up normally, and I was using it for a few hours to make sure everything was working fine. Left it to charge. Came back two hours later, and the screen was dark (but the image was still visible, as if the backlight was not on). Could see the mouse pointer moving, but backlight won't come back on. Turned off computer, turned it back on. Backlight works just fine, and it boots to the OS. Within 10 seconds of booting to OS, the screen goes dark (screen goes completely black with no image). Couple seconds later, light on the front starts to "breathe" indicating it's sleeping. Wake it back up, and image appears on the screen, but no backlight. Then it "goes to sleep" again.
Boot computer to a Flash Drive with Snow Leopard Installer and once the blue screen comes on as if the installer is just about to pop up, it "goes to sleep" immediaetly. Though, the backlight and computer will stay on in the Apple Hardware Test for as long as I want. (ran it several times, "no trouble found". Also reset the PRAM, nothing helps.
I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this. Completely baffled on whether it's a software or hardware (or combination of the both) issue I'm having.

The keyboard and trackpad reside on top of the motherboard and all the components of the computer. The keyboard and trackpad are not liquid proof. It is VERY likely that the liquid made its way to the motherboard and has affected those components. If EVER there is liquid spilled on a computer, the last thing you want to do is A. Turn it on to make sure it is working.. and B. Plug it in and charge it. Do the EXACT opposite. Unplug and turn off all power, and, if possible, remove the battery from it. The liquid itself doesnt do the damage...the damage is done when the liquid comes in contact with the circuits and shorts out the contacts and components. You could try to connect to an external monitor, if you have the means to do so, to see if it makes a difference, but it probably will not. I seems that the motherboard is not functioning correctly.

Boot Camp Update to 2.1 don't work

Hello,
I am new here. My MacBookPro runs now 2 years without problems.
I upgrade my HDD to a 500 GB model and it works fine.
The Windows Vista Business(now the English Version) don't accept the Boot Camp Update to Version 2.1.
Before I have used the German Vista Business and it works fine.
My Idea is, get the Boot Camp 2.1 from a new Installer DVD and install it. It should work. Or I wait until the Apple Update Service fix the problem.
I don't know? Do I really need this update? I update the Nvidia Driver allready separatly to fix a problem with my second screen and it run well.

Thanks.

Hmmm, please read carefully. It isn`t a problem with Boot Camp, I think.
Please tell me, if I am fail.
Boot Camp run perfectly on Vista 2.0 from my Leopard Installer DVD and 2.1 from the new Leopard DVD. I don't have one of the new DVD now, but a friend try it out allready. It run's. My question is, why I can't install Boot Camp 2.1 with Apple Software Update? In the German Version of Vista Business I don't have these problems. Why now with the English Version?
Helpless...

Boot Camp Update from 1.4 (beta) on WinXP Pro

I need some help. I have a 17" MBP core 2 duo running WinXP through Boot Camp 1.4 (beta). On the Mac side I use OSX(10.4xxx) - Tiger NOT Leopard.
I would really appreciate it if someone could post a 1,2,3... list of how to update my Boot Camp version. Do I even need to do this? Will it make anything better on my computer?
Also - the Boot Camp update is not showing up in the Apple Software Update (in Windows). I downloaded the Boot Camp update for XP and nothing happens when I try to open it. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris:
Fortuny is right. You will need to have boot camp 2.0 installed before you get 2.1 installed. You have version 1.4. you must first update it to version 2.0. For that you will need the Leopard Installation Disk. I know you are running Tiger however if you happen to have a Leopard Installation disk then the solution posted [HERE|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1499769&tstart=0] will work for you.

2014 Macbook Air + guitar overdubs

Hello,
I am tempted to purchase the new 2014 Macbook Air (11-inch).
My question: will the machine be able to handle multitrack recording in Garageband?
Obviously disk space will be an issue, but that is ok. And obviously the 8GB ram upgrade would be beneficial, and a guitar > USB cable would be needed. But will I be able to have a few tracks of midi drums, and then create multiple guitar overdubs with low latency?
Or will the Macbook Air struggle with the work load?
I went to an Apple store yesterday and asked the question but the genius said the 1.4ghz processor would struggle and I should consider an i7 iMac!
If the Macbook Air can't handle it I'll just continue using my old PC which can. But I really want to make the jump to OS X if possible, because I love my iPhone and iPad.
Many thanks for your help.
