How to ( Internet Recovery Of Mac Book Air )?

Hello Everybody.
I had a problem in my Lion OS in MBA (Mid2011)
I did not back up the system with time machine.
so I decided to reinstall lion online.
I restarted the MBA. holding command+R.
It goes to the Recovery.
I erased all of my Hard disc(ssd).
I am using a wifi Internet.
Then I clicked on the reinstall lion.
It started downloading.
jises,
the remaining time is 400 hours.
I have a connection Problem, it goes off every 12 hours.
The problem is: will it download the rest of the lion OS  or it will start from the beginning when the connection of wifi goes off?
Thank you for your help.

Well
Good news
It finished just now.
Conclusion:
The Internet recovery downloads the rest of the Lon OS installer.
I was successful in Internet recovery of the MacBook Air mid 2011.
I must mention that:
1- Trying to install the Snow leopard with an External DVD reader on my MBA mid 2011 was unsuccessful.
2- trying to install a lion OS on a Bootable DVD I borrowed from a friend, was unsuccessful.
3- Trying to install Ubuntu was bad because of graphic card bad dispaly.

    how to run disk utility mac book air it is very slow on boot up

    Here's a general article about slow startup: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10929
    It suggests there may be a third party hardware issue.
    Otherwise, you can boot from your recovery disk as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10603
    Your recovery disk was automatically created when Lion was installed.  You'll have it as a separate partition and be able to boot from it as if it were a separate disk.

    It's best to describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible, rather than what you think is causing it or how you think it should be solved.

  • Can I  set up Internet access for Mac book air

    I am able to set up wireless for my Mac book air but I am looking to set up internet (same as I have with my iPad).  Is it possible?

    Have you got Home Sharing set up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819) ? i.e. he may be viewing the content from your computer, not on the actual iPad. If that is the case (which would explain to me him being able to access the videos via the iPod app), then the Restrictions settings that I've already mentioned should also work on that 'remote' content.
    Edit : your last reply appeared whilst I was typing/checking this. And no, the Videos/iPod apps can't be passcode protected, you will need to go back into Restrictions and remove the restriction, or if the films are only on your computer and not on the iPad itself you could turn off home sharing on the iPad whilst he's playing the games : Settings > iPod and tap on your account id and/or password on the right under Home Sharing and delete it/ them (re-enter them when you want to re-enable it).

    Mac Book Air has a diffent keyboard layout and some of the shortcuts aren't applicable. Please rectify.

    Hi Lanny,
    I understant that, but if I complain to Apple on the feedback, nothing will happen for a million years.
    Here things are visible to the wide Apple Users and hopefully get sorted.
    Apple representatives are welcome to reply and post that the shortkey list is updated to include all the diferent Apple Keyboards.
    Thanks,

  • My mac book air is stuck on question mark within a folder how do fix this, My mac book air is stuck on question mark within a folder how do fix this

    i have tried every restart possible yet the folder keeps popping up. ocasionally it asks me to connect to the internet then a globe apears with an error code above it and i have to restart again. i think i may have erased everything including the start programs. is there any way i can fix this problem?

    Your machiine doesn't find the operating system.
    Try a restart wih the option key down. Normally, you should see two drives which are in fact two partitions on your disk. Select the Recover partition.
    Look in the menus for "disk utility" and "repair permissions" (and drive if it is possible).
    Then restart.
    Hope this helps.
