How to add Lion to macbook air from Imac?

How can I upgrade Lion remotely to my Air using my Imac file sharing?

You need to set up an Apple App Store account in order to be able to dowload software from the App Store. An App Store account requires an Apple Id (normally this is your email address). If you don't have one you can set one up. Note this is the same id you use for iTunes so if you have an iTunes account use those credentials.
If you have a new MBA 2011 (i.e. one bought after about July this year) it will already be running Lion. To make sure go to the Apple menu (top left corner of screen) and select About this Mac. If the version of Mac OS X shown is 10.7 then that is Lion.

How to add gridlines in macbook air?

I am doing sidewalk art and need a grid reference. I have tried using Pixlr and creating a new layer and copying a png of a grid over my picture but it's just not working. Also I don't have photoshop or photoshop elements and the only image software I have is sketchbook pro (which is not real helpful)
I have no idea what to do lol. I don't really know how to use my new macbook either (i'm switching from pc to mac which has been a long and confusing transition) so any help on anything is welcome.
I have a macbook air 10.9.4 and I'm a total noob so I can't give you a whole lot of info about it, however I'll try to answer any questions as best I can.

How do I stop my Macbook Air from transferring your information from another computer?

Just purchased my Macbook Air. When I started it up, it asked if I wanted to tranfer information from my other computer. the first thing it started to download was the music and it suddenly froze when it had a 1hr and 46 mins left and now I can escape out of it. It is the only thing that is on my screen. I ended the transfer on my PC but it wont clear out on my Macbook Air. Is there a way to restart the computer so it will retry the tranfer without the music?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold the Power button until the Mac turns off, and turn it on again.
Instead of transferring your files from another computer through the network, copy your data from your old PC or Mac to an external drive, connect the external drive to your MacBook Air and transfer your files

Migrate to MacBook Air from iMac and keep them synched

Dear Mac Geniuses -
I have an iMac (24'' early 2009 model) and am thinking of getting a MacBook Air (haven't decided on the 11.6'' or 13.3'' version yet, but tilting towards the smaller size) when we go to the States for Xmas for about a month from overseas. I also have a 2 TB TimeCapsule which acts as the router and backs up my 640 GB iMac hard drive.
Since my iTunes, Photos and loads of personalized content is on the iMac (which I won't bring with me to USA, when I buy the MBA), I would love to take the TimeCapsule and restore from it.
This would be the first time I would use the TimeCapsule for this purpose, so I would appreciate some advice:
1. Is it possible to restore from TC to MBA with my iMac configuration?
2. What's the best way to manage the 640 GB on the iMac v the 128 GB (or 256 GB on 13'') on MBA? I have a couple of 500 GB hard drives I could use.
3. Once I am back from USA, is there a way to sync back the changes we made in iTunes, FlipVideo, Photos?
4. Is there a way to maintain two versions of iTunes, Photos, etc?
I appreciate that questions 3 & 4 are mostly on a different topic than 1&2, and are thus lesser priority. What I need to figure out in the next two weeks is how to take all I need from my iMac for the duration of the trip.
Thanks everyone!
BR,
AK

How do I create a clone on the external HD that can be used by Setup Assistant
The Restore tab of Disk Utility (see #7 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]), or 3rd-party apps CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
[CarbonCopyCloner|http://www.bombich.com> is donationware; [SuperDuper|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] has a free version, but you need the paid one (about $30) to do updates instead of full replacements, or scheduling.
(and more importantly, is there a way to select what wil be put on that clone)?
You really don't need to, since +Setup Assistant+ lets you omit certain things.
You can't omit things with Disk Utility. You can wIth CCC and SD, but since you're going to use this with +Setup Assistant,+ omit only things inside the top-level folders inside user home folders (such as Pictures, Movies, Music), not those folders themselves. CCC is pretty intuitive, and has pretty good help, too. I don't use SD, but I understand it's also easy to use.
I guess the alternative method is to create a TimeMachine backup on my external 500 GB hard drive. Is there a way to select what I back up to it?
You can omit things there, too, via +Time Machine Preferences > Options.+ For this purpose, though, I'd go with the clone, since you can start up from it to be sure it works, and everything you didn't omit is there and working properly.
The backups on your Time Capsule will be your "insurance" in case something awful happens.
If you don't already have a portable external, I can recommend the LaCie "Rugged" series: http://www.lacie.com/us/products/range.htm?id=10036 I have one of these, as do several other folks here, and they get good reviews, too. They claim you can drop one +2.2 meters+ without damage. I do a lot of testing, but have no intention of testing that.

How to properly disconnect a MacBook Air from TBolt display?

Hello everyone,
Here is my setup: I have a 13" i5 MacAir, connected to a TBolt display. Also connected to the display I have an Apple USB full size keyboard and my network, plus an USB HDD for TimeMachine. Laptop screen stays closed all the time, so I am basically using only the TBolt as a display.
From time to time, I need to take my Air out to a meeting. I disconnect the power cable, wait for the Air to go in stand-by, then the TBolt cable. Every time, my Mac OS complains that the USB HDD was not properly disconnected and I have to unmount it first. If I would do that, it would mean that each time I reconnect my Air to the display and its power, I would have to unlplug the HDD and replug it, otherwise it would not be mounted back.
Well, is there a way to safely disconnect my Mac from the display and stop the OS complaining? Doesn't Mac OS know to properly handle the situation? It is far from "it just works" in my opinion

Pulling the cable out of a mounted (usb) drive is not the proper way to disconnect it and that is why you are getting the error message. Doing this runs the risk of leaving the drive's file system in an indeterminate state.
The proper way is to unmount it first. Either drag it to the trash or right (control) click on the mounted drive on your desktop and select Eject. If the drive is not showing on your desktop then set the Finder preference (General) to show it.

How update my macbook air from OS X 10.5.8 to newest OS

how I can update my MacBook Air from OS X 10.5.8 to newer OS avalaible

You can't directly upgrade from 10.5 - call Apple and purchase 10.6. Back up your computer and install 10.6. I'm not sure what version of 10.6 you'll get - you may need to download an update to 10.6 before you can upgrade to 10.8 because the App Store wasn't part of the original 10.6 - it came with the 10.6.8 update if I remember properly. Once you've upgraded to 10.6 and have the App store you can upgrade to 10.8.

Did somebody know how to install mysql in MacBook Air version 10.8.1 os x mountain lion?, Thanks in advance

Did somebody know how to install mysql in MacBook Air version 10.8.1 os x mountain lion?, Thanks in advance

Am following your doc now (https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3082) and wondering if the edit
First, fix the MySQL client library. (credit)
For Lion, type:
sudo install_name_tool -id /usr/local/mysql-5.5.22-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql-5.5.22-osx10.6-x86_64/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib
also applies to Mountain Lion. Am guessing it does as your credit link resolves to an article re. the Snow Leopard install. Thanks in advance.

hi i have recently purchased a new MacBook Air from Curry's and i am concerned this is is not the latest model i.e. june 2013> how can i tell please?

Then take it back and buy one from an Apple Store.
Open System Profiler and look at the Model ID. It should read MBA 6,2.
The identifiers are:
