Hello, I am having a macbook air early 2008 and it is having a hard drive failure i need to replace the hard drive is it possible ? the hard drive number is HS082HB could you please help !!

You can replace it with a solid state drive, see the one OWC sells here. The video on how to install it is here.
iFixit.com has used hard drives available here.
If it were me, I'd go with a solid state drive, as the prices have come down recently and the performance improvement is noticeable.

Right-click on Macbook Air (early 2008) with Windows XP?

I just bought a refurbished MacBook Air, early 2008 edition. I installed Windows XP Pro SP3 using Boot Camp, and everything is working perfectly, except tap-to-click and right-clicking using the trackpad. Both do not work at all, I've tried two-finger tap as well as three-finger tap for the right-click. I tried downloading the update driver from the Apple site, but it said "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed." Obviously, the update is meant for the late 2008 edition MacBooks.
One other interesting point is that Control Panel - Boot Camp does not have a "Trackpad' tab.
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

On reflection, all I probably need is the previous Trackpad driver; a prior version that is compatible with early 2008 edition of the MacBook Air. I have been unable to find this driver on the Apple site, would anyone know how I can go about getting this driver?

I have a macbook from early 2008, and when I sign onto safari I get an error message for fast browser search plugin. After that error comes up my computer freezes and I have to force it to shut down. Does anyone know what that means and how I can fix it

Means you have an incompatible Safari extension installed. Look in the /Home/Library/Safari/Extensions/ folder for the offending plug-in and delete it.

Macbook Air Early 2008

I have an early 2008 Macbook Air that I tried to load Snow leopard but says Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. Any ideas why since it meets the requirements for Snow leopard?

Which version of OS X are you running now? Are you using a white retail Snow Leopard disc or a gray one from another computer? The gray discs are machine specific and can't be used on other computers of a different model.

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,

SDD or Flash on Macbook Air early 2014 series

Hello,
I bought a new Macbook Air 13 inches with 256 GB storage. This is an early 2014 series product.
I see 2 different description about the storage device on the laptop. I read SSD and also read FLASH Storage.
Are both SSD and FLASH the same?
What is the actual storage type on this laptop ?
Thanks,
Ajay.

They are the same thing. Your new MBA will have about 235GB free (when I got mine I wrote down the number so I wouldn't forget it. Forgot where I put the note). The OS and standard apps take up about 15GB and the SSD reserves a small portion of the drive for wear leveling purposes. (To see more about trim and wear leveling, read this article.)

Connecting Apple TV device and Macbook Air (early version) without using a TV

Hei,
I am trying to set up my home cinema using a projector and not a TV. I have a Macbook Air early 2011 version (the one where you can only stream directly from Itunes and use a third party device to play the rest) that I am trying to connect this device to the apple tv device - but as said without using a tv. I have speakers with a console where you can run an optical digital cable from the console to the Apple TV (as this will then give me sorround sound as opposed to the airport express that has not got this option). However my computer and projector is on the other side of the room so I want to be able to wirelessly connect to my speakers via my computer.
All set up guides with the apple tv involves connecting the apple tv device and a TV with an HDMI cable. As I am not using a TV and I am not connecting the apple tv device and my projector only aiming to stream sound to the speakers to the Apple TV device I am at a loss in terms of what I need to do. Can anybody help?
Thank you!
Lene

Airplay requires both devices to be connected to the same network (wired or wireless).

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?

Change your old Apple ID using this link:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one.

I bought Macbook Air early 2014. Ever since i bought it to turn it on after a long ie. 5hr - 6hr i have to first charge it for at least 15 mins and sometimes it wont turn on for 3hr - 4hr and then it will turn on regardless of the battery charged.

I bought Macbook Air early 2014. Ever since i bought it to turn it on after a long ie. 5hr - 6hr i have to first charge it for at least 15 mins and sometimes it wont turn on for 3hr - 4hr and then it will turn on regardless of the battery charged. If i had put it on sleep even then it wont turn on it will work as usual as it is suppose to do. I went to icare twice and they game me the device back after 1-2 weeks saying it is now not giving any issue but when i will used it next morning again same thing happened. It's like i can never go out anywhere with the laptop outside as i have to first charge it and then turn it on. Icare wont replace my device they only say if there is any issue with the hardware we will replace that hardware but i think it is useless because they don't know what the issue is. Can someone help me out what to do now ? It's been to iCare ever since i bought it now i don't want them to again do the same thing.

The MBA seems to cause several problems to several users on boot ups
On start up my MBA would not boot up the apple logo came on but only a blank screen appeared no fan i followed several start up recommendations but to no avail so I took the MBA to the nearest Apple repair centre again the same symptoms on start up ......very sorry sir you need a new mother board that will be $500 not feeling confidant in the product declined and was going to put it on ebay for spares.
On return home I pressed the start up button and it started normally everything was working fine i decided to reinstall all the software what has caused the problem I have no idea but it is after several attempted reboots it finally started on its own so don't give up if you have this problem it may come to life

Macbook Air Early 2014 Display

I was wondering if the Macbook air early 2014 13 inch models have either a 4K display or the ability to play 2160p?

The only Mac which has got a 4K or bigger display is the 5K Retina iMac. However, neither the display nor the GPU of the MacBook Air support such a big display resolution

Hello i buy a new macbook air white i5 ivy bridge processor and when i play a game the cpu themperature is 88-100 c its normal?

Hello i buy a new macbook air white i5 ivy bridge processor and when i play a game the cpu themperature is 88-100c it is normal?

One thing I should add. While "normal", it doesn't make it preferrrable that you should be always running near the maximum capability of the unit. The new 2012 MBA's are outfitted with CPU's that have a maximum running temp of 115 degrees C. (the 2011's were rated at 100 degrees C.)
At, or near this point, the CPU will shut down the system to safeguard from overheating. Right under this point the system's fan will be running at top speed. Any mechanical device, run at or near it's capability will undergo accelerated wear. Just how much in this situation is unknown. as such, I don't use my MBA as a full-time gaming rig. I try and keep it sensible.
The MBA is not really designed for gaming, but it's competent performance sometimes lures us to use it as such.
