Enquiry about Macbook Air.

I am a year 12 student currently undertaking a CERT IV in I.T.S. Throughout the year we are required to use Adobe CS5 Design Premium for graphics etc. I currently have a Black 2008 Macbook with 3GB of Ram, but it is not doing it for me. I was wondering whether the Corei7 4GBRam Macbook air would be capable.
Cheers

Check to see if lack of ram is the problem. http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/how_to_tell_if_your_mac_needs_more_ram/. If so, one additional gb of ram won't cut it, and you can't add additional ram to a MacBook Air.

Thanks!

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Lemode-mgz redirect and minor question about Macbook Air

First off, I just want to say that I've seen other threads about this same website, but none concerning my device. So just to be safe...
Heres some background knowledge. The next paragraph down will contain my actual question.
It was around 2:00 a.m., and according to my iPhone, it was January 5th. I'm someone who's been trying to get competitive in the new game Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, right? So I was looking up information on the character Olimar from the previous installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. The website I went to was supersmashbros.wiki.com. So, I'm looking up this information on different statistics of the character Olimar, and all of a sudden I go to "lemode-mgz.com," and I'm confronted with some article with a page title of "Doctor Oz Miracle Anti-Aging Treatment." And so I shut off my phone and go to sleep. In the morning I find that my iPhone says that I have website data for "track.securevoluum.com," a website I've never been to. Now when I type "tr" in safari, it says that track.securevoluum.com is now the URL of "Doctor Oz Miracle Anti-Aging Treatment," but yet my history says that the URL is still "lemode-mgz.com." I deleted my website data after that in system settings, so track.securevoluum doesn't appear in my website data. I haven't deleted my history though.
So my question is, did my phone get some of worm virus? I haven't really used Safari since that incident, but in the times I did, that website didn't pop up again. Also, if the iPhone is all foolproof virus free, why did the redirect happen in the first place? I'm using an iPhone 5c, version 8.0.2. And no, my phone is not jailbroken. I believe it is refurbished though, so that may contribute to an answer.
And if anyone would bother to answer this question, do Mac book Airs get Adware? For I visited the website smashboards.com, and it had some really sketchy Ads...I didn't click on any of them though. But when I go to Youtube occasionally some also sketchy looking Ads appear.

IF your phone isn't jailbroken then your phone doesn't have a worm virus.
As far as your MAC I don't know if they can get a virus or not, you can ask that question in the MAC forum to get a definite answer.

Mid-2012 MacBook Air WiFi Reconnect-Partial Solution

The MacBook Air seems to have some significant WiFi issues for a lot of users. My issue is as follows: the MacBook will connect to any compatible WiFi hot-spot with no problems, and it will maintain the connection almost always. The problems come when I try to reconnect to the internet over the same WiFi hot-spot after waking up the MacBook. Even more frustratingly, the problem is not consistent. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. After some investigation, I have come to the conclusion that reconnection problems happen when:
You wake the computer up from computer sleep (not display sleep or Power Nap)
You are using a specific cable modem (the one I tested on was a Motorola SURFboard SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0)
You have not restarted your cable modem while your MacBook was asleep
The MacBook Air will connect to the WiFi network (i.e., it can access other devices in the wireless LAN) when woken from computer sleep; it just will not connect to the internet
The only way to get the connection back is to restart the cable modem. Restarting the MacBook, restarting your WiFi base station (in my case a brand new AirPort Time Capsule tower), having the MacBook forget the WiFi network and then reconnect--all do not work. But if I just restart the cable modem, the MacBook connects with no problems. This is a problem specific to the MacBook Air because none of my other devices ever have a problem connecting to the network after waking up from sleep (including a Lenovo ThinkPad E530c). As has been proposed in some of the many discussions about MacBook Air WiFi issues, I think it has to do with the bleeding-edge power saving modes that the MacBook Air enters in to when it goes to sleep. Apparently, the computer sleep mode will cause it to not be able to reconnect to the internet, so it seems to be some sort of incompatibility or bug between the MacBook Air and the cable modem--in my case, the Motorola SURFboard.
So that's the problem, but I do have a partial solution while the engineers figure out a fix. Set the System Prefs > Energy Saver setting on the MacBook to never go into computer sleep (I set it only for Power Adapter, not Battery). In my case, this is a workable solution because I have my MacBook Air plugged in at home almost all the time. I have lived with these settings for a couple of days now and whenever I wake up my computer, it still has the internet connection and works as expected. And if for some reason I don't plug it in and it goes into computer sleep, I don't waste time troubleshooting. I just restart the cable modem and after a minute or so, the internet connection is re-established. I'd be curious to know how many cable modems this happens with, and if anyone has a fix having to do with cable modem settings (the Motorola SURFboard, to my knowledge, doesn't have a web app interface to tweak settings, perhaps because my cable company doesn't want me tweaking things, but I frankly have not spent any time researching that end of things).
Hopefully this will help some MacBook Air owners (is this an issue with MacBook Pros?) that have this problem.
Good luck!

Have the same problem. Was OK for nearly two years then started two days ago.

Usb 3.0 not working on Windows 7 (MacBook Air late 2011)

Hello everybody.
I've been running Windows 7 perfectly on my late 2011 11-inch mackbook air (runs even smoother than Mavericks, seems that Apple forgot about macbook air users when releasing that update, and doesn't even let me downgrade without buying the previous OS X ¬¬)
Ranting apart I've been having the following problem: my Toshiba external 3.0 usb HD drive works perfectly on OS X (always did and still does) but i can't make it work on Win 7. When I plug the usb connector, it appears as it recognized an external hdd, but it isn't able to get the drivers or recognize the drive properly. So it just doesn't work, I can't access it. I've been searching for usb 3.0 drivers for boot camp or win 7 and haven't been successful with what i've found.
Anybody had this problem?
Anybody got to fix it?
I'm really annoyed that i can't use my external hdd.
Thanks for reading!

maybe it's because your ext hd is in mac os filesystem which windows cant read?

My MacBook Air keyboard isn't working, except the power button. I had the same problem over the summer and had it repaired ~4 months ago. What should I do?

The keyboard of my 11-inch MacBook Air, purchased in November 2011, isn't working at all. None of the keys respond except the power button. I'm able to restart the computer, and have done so multiple times. I've attempted SMC and PRAM resets, but they haven't worked.
I've never spilled anything on the laptop, haven't stepped on it, and haven't otherwise damaged it ever. I use the laptop very lightly. I only use it to take notes for class, browse the Internet, and watch movies. I don't download anything but PDFs, PowerPoints, images, and Word documents. I don't even have music on it. So I don't think I had any part in creating the problem.
I had this same problem with my laptop over the summer, and I took it into the Apple Store to get it repaired for $200. They told me that they didn't know the cause of the problem. I think they replaced the bottom half of my laptop entirely (receipt says there's a new "Housing, Top Case with Keyboard, US") and told me the problem was fixed. This was on June 30. The laptop keyboard stopped working again today, October 19. I called Apple Support and they told me that I would have to pay for the repair again because it's been 90 days since the last repair. I'm annoyed and upset that I have to pay $200 again to re-repair a problem that should've been properly fixed the first time. Plus, if the problem keeps happening despite multiple repairs, I can't afford to keep getting the laptop repaired over and over again due to the Apple employees' incompetence.
Does anyone have any advice on how to fix the laptop? I'm a grad student and don't have the funds to pay for another repair, and there's no way for me to get to an Apple Store without hiring a car service, so I'm trying to avoid going to the store if possible. Thank you.

Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

I had a case that I drop little juice over my macbook air, I dried it immediately and it keep working fine, as this happen while I am traveling I kept working on it for around two week, it was working fine except that the few key became sticky.

I had a case that I drop little juice over my macbook air, I dried it immediately and it keep working fine, as this happen while I am traveling I kept working on it for around two week, it was working fine except that the few key became sticky.
When I back to Jordan I sent it to the authorized support center “ Multivision” in Amman and asked them to help in cleaning the keyboard as it still sticky and I explained to them that the issue and I clarified that all are working fine.
For a two days they didn’t back to me and they answered that they are still checking it, and then after they just called me saying that my macbook is damaged and not working and its better for me to buy a new one!!!
They say that the liquid damaged the main board! I explained to them that this can’t be as it was working fine when I delivered it to them and I didn’t ask them to open it I told them to help in cleaning the keyboard!
I am complaining about this support behavior and they were not cooperative nether polite in communicating.
I am not convinced that the liquid damaged my macbook and I think that the staff at “Multivision” are not qualified and did something wrong to damage my macbook!
I need you help to investigate this issue and have a feedback.

[Logic Pro X] 13" Macbook Air - Can handle?

Hello everyone!
For the last couple of weeks, I'm just going crazy about my computer, which I have been using for music production / composing. But I have to tell you that I'm really fed up with this. So, I want to get an upgrade of my life. To Macbook!
So, I have been reading forums, watching videos etc. about Macbook Air. Which, to be honest, a dream come true for me, because I am constantly going out of country and travelling because my fiancée is from another country. Air is lightweight, slim, and what I need.
But there is a problem that I am constantly thinking about, which is that I have a low budged and can't afford a buffed up Macbook Pro.
I won't push the Logic so hard, I will use like 8-10 Tracks. Not so heavyweight plug-ins. With her, I am making jazzy sounds, so, not so CPU-Pushing things.
So, I have like 2 options:
A - i7 Processor / 4GB Ram
B - i5 Processor / 8GB Ram
Either, I will use them for the same purpose. But the thing is, which one would perform better for my needs?
Or the bigger question... Will there be any problem for me with Logic for the fields I use that I've stated above?
Can It handle my needs?
Thanks in advance!

What follows is simply a personal opinion.. and so others may disagree....
A Macbook Air, while very good for the purpose it is designed for... (A light. efficient, portable notebook type device) it is not really suitable for use with a very resource demanding application such as Logic Pro... You could use it, yes...... but depending on how complex your arrangements are... number of tracks.. type of plugins.. number of audio tracks and so on.. you would likely soon run into it's limitations...
I would suggest you put your money into a Macbook Pro via Apple's Refurb store... (Same warranty etc.. as new but usually about 20-30% cheaper).... get as fast a i7 as you can... along with 16GB of Ram.... and you should be much better off..
The following site is extremely useful at tracking down which refurb units are available in your country.....
https://www.refurb.me/us/
Note: I haven't bought a full priced Apple product in a loog time.. having bough my last 9 Macs, iPads and other sundry things like Airport Extremes.. via the refurb store and frankly, you would never know they were refurbed... as Apple pay really good attention to detail and testing of such units before reselling them.. plus, as i said earlier.. you have the exact same warranties as new models along with whatever Applecare you may choose to buy too... For me it's a no brainer to buy refurb.. if the gear is available.
