Flash Builder On A MacBook Air?

I'm thinking of jumping over to the dark side of and buying a MacBook Air
Is anyone using one of those for Flash Builder development?
Or do I need to get a more powerful MacBook Pro for that?
Thanks
Mathias

Macs are not remotely as functional as Windows 7 machines (you have to use command line for basic stuff, and just wait for the first time you drag and drop a folder over a folder with the same name and all the files that weren't in the folder you dragged go *pouf*).
Not to mention, the new Lion OS has deliberate borked most Adobe software.
Get more machine for your money, and stick with a PC!

How do I add extra flash memory to My Macbook Air Model MD223

Hi,
I would please like to know if there is any possible way to add extra flash storage to My MacBook Air 11.6" (2012) Model MD223 with 64GB. I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3
Could I please get some help?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Neelu Saraswatibhatla

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can upgrade that, but you will void the warranty. That MacBook Air requires flash storage that it's not sold everywhere, so you can purchase more flash storage at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2012
You can't install a SSD with the enclosure because it doesn't fit

How do i run a file from my flash drive on my macbook air?

I haven't got a clue what I'm doing. I have saved content from a papercrafting software CD to my flash drive and am trying to open/run it on my new Macbook Air. When I try to run it I get a promp saying it can't open the application because Microsoft Wondows applications are not supported on OS X. It's a .exe file ... Do I need to buy an app to run it??

You need to use CrossOver Mac, WineSkin, or Windows. CrossOver Mac has a free trial.

Bug in flash builder 4? ( export air release build )

Hi every one, I am working on a air application using flash builder 4. I tried to export an air release build and I chose my certificate and every thing seemed to be fine, but whrn I clicked on finish button, nothing happend!! I mean it did not do anything, no error message, nothing. after a lot of time I found out on of my images in assets folder starts with space. that was it!! flex 4 could not export the release build for that reason !!just make sure your file names do not start with space!!
Anyways I thought to post it here maybe it saves some time for someone.
cheers

I had the same issue trying to export an air project:
Start to export the release then nothing append, no .air file generated, and the compiler asking me again and again to choose files to be exported.
The issue came from project-app.xml file containing leading space within tags.
For instance <systemChrome> none </systemChrome> must be change to <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>. (Note the spaces around "none").
The workspace log file might help in case of silent failure. flexWorkspace/.metedata/.log.
Mine was:

How can I open my portable flash drive in my Macbook Air?

It doesn't pop-out and I can't figure out how to open it!

I have a personal portable flash drive of about 150GB and I would like to work on the the document stored in it. When I connect it to my Macbook Air via the USB port nothing happens. It doesnt pop open on the computer screen and I don't know where to navigate to set it open and work on my documents.
In my last laptop as soon as I connect the flash drive it pops-up and ask me "what I would like to do" and from there I carry on. But in this new Macbook Air I acquire about a month ago, everything seems up-side down and difficult to navigate.
My question is: how can I open my this portabble flash drive when connected to the Macbook Air? Hope that explains well. Cheers.

Should I install Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Air?

Hello everyone
I was wondering if I should install Adobe Flash Player.
I watch YouTube a lot and use Safari 7.0.5 as my web browser of choice.
I don't usually play many online games though.
However, there are some sites I use that require Adobe Flash Player.
Thanks for all the recommendations

personally NO, unless you are using something that demands it.
aside the spat between adobe and apple, it does grind and hog the processor to death - hence why apple decided not to 'support' it.
-just take a look in activity monitor once it starts up.
It (can) also leave vunerabliites to virus 'type' infections;
IF you do indeed decide to load it up, be VERY carefull where you get it from, and ignore ANY POP UP message about updates etc -
*ALWAYS* ONLY go Direct to the adobe flash site, never, never any other 3rd party site. both for install and updates.

Flash is killing my MacBook Air

Whenever I watch a video in Chrome or Safari, the Flash plug-in sends the CPU through the roof. The fan on my MacBook Air goes bonkers and it runs really hot. I have to force quit the applications in Activity Monitor to bring the machine back to normal. All my software is up to date.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks, and sorry for my subjective language.
The CPU will run at 90-110% before I kill it. I don't know how hot it runs but the fan goes into overtime.
And just now, I've connected my iPad to my Macbook and iPhoto is syncing. The same thing is happening: the fan is going really fast (normally I can't even hear it, but right now it's super loud and the top of my Macbook near the power socket is very hot to touch) and in Activity Monitor, iPHoto is at betwwen 140 and 150% of CPU.
This just doesn't seem normal, but this is my first Mac so I don't really know.

I want to add the Flash driver to my Macbook Air

Hello,
I am using a Macbook Air with 128 GB flash driver.
In the Apple store, can they install additional flash driver to my computer ?
otherwise, is there any other method to buy or install additional flash driver ?
Thanks.

Apple will not upgrade computers. You can buy after market solid state drives - see OWC for example. The upgrade is relatively simple and OWC has training videos showing how to do it as well as tool kits with the tools you'll need. While Apple won't install it for you, many 3rd party repair sites will.

Flash Builder 4 and Adobe AIR 2

I'm trying to figure out how to use AIR 2 with Flash Builder 4. I was initially under the impression that FB4 has AIR2... but the when I create a File object and try to call the function openWithDefaultApplication(). An error occurs saying the function doesn't exist. This is the AIR application I created in FB4. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to install AIR 2 somehow -- and if so, how do I do so?

Hi Sumeet,
Unfortunately we don't have support for sidecar installs with native installers at this time. I've seen this come up before but when I searched the ideas.adobe.com site I couldn't find a specific feature request. We are aware that there is interest in this feature, but I'd like to encourage you to add a post to the ideas.adobe.com page or over at bugbase.adobe.com and let others know so we can vote on it.
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Builder 4.7 Packages AIR iOS Standard Even Without Changes

"Note: If you have not changed your code or assets since the last debug IPA package was generated, Flash Builder skips the packaging and debugs the application. That is, you can launch the installed application on your device and click Debug to connect to the Flash Builder debugger. This way, you can debug repeatedly without packaging the application every time."
This appears to not be working in Flash Builder 4.7. It always worked fine in 4.6. Basically it packages the application every single time I click Debug, regardless of whether anything was changed.

Hi Brent, I've got a bug filed in this thread, including a project where I've isolated the probem to a single swc lib:

Run XP / Vista from a USB flash memory on my Macbook Air

Hello!
Does anyone know if it is possible to boot and run XP directly from a USB stick?
I am fairly new to Mac. So far I like it a lot however, due to my job I need to run some things in XP or Vista. Instead of "polluting" my new Macbook Air with a partition with XP I thought it would be neat to run XP from a USB stick. They are cheap and quite large nowadays but I really have no clue if it is doable technically. It might be too slow or there might be other issues that I don't know of.
Can anyone shed some light or point in the right direction.
All help will be highly appreciated.
A

I would guess that performance wouldn't be so good trying to run XP from an external hard drive, but I haven't tried it nor do I know if it is possible. I'm in the same boat with needing to run some XP programs.
I've been using VMware Fusion and it works well. However, the MBA runs hot and battery life suffers when just running VMware without much going on in the XP machine. You can probably put the XP VM on a usb key and have VMware run it from there. As for the software running in a VM rather than native, the programs run and the speed is tolerable but I don't mistake it for my ThinkPad. Depending on how much resources your software needs, the MBA may not be a good fit.
