    I try to install windows 7 on macbook air 13" 2014, OS X Yosemite, i used flash 16GB and windows 7 image iso. but i got this error. please help me to fix this.
    Thank you so much.

    Is the USB devices a USB2 or USB3 device? Please run Disk Utility Repair. In some cases, re-installing OS X (which does not modify your files) also addresses this issue.

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.

    Hello everyone,

    I found the answer on my own again.
    Just need to buy USB SuperDrive and that's it.

    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.

    Use the Flash Drive that came with your computer it has Snow Leopard installed on it. If you lost it or cannot find it then call Apple and they will replace it for you, I don't know how much they will charge.
    BTW when installing MS Windows please follow the directions whether you are using Boot Camp or a vitualialization solution (Parallels, Fusion, etc.) had  you done this you would not have had any issues.

    I am new to mac and am trying to figure out how to run windows on my new Macbook. What do I need to purchase in order to accomplish this? How much memory is needed. I have 1 gig of ram and an 80 gig hd. Thanks for your help

    This is a good place to start:

    If you don't own a copy of Windows XP with Service Pack 2, then that would be the only purchase you need to make.

  • Can I run rhino and grasshopper on a virtual windows on my macbook air?

    Can I run rhino and grasshopper on a virtual windows on my macbook air? I keep getting a not enough memory message.

    The USB stick from your MBA cannot be used on any other Mac. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard for your other computer.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

  • Windows 8 on macbook air

    Anybody aware of any challenges installing Windows 8 on Macbook Air? Just want to ensure that all audio, video and all ports continue to work when installing Windows 8. Don't want to take the plunge without getting some advice, since the system requirements don't list Windows 8 as supported.

    The best way I got windows 8 to work was to install windows 7 and all the bootcamp drivers etc as directed by Apple, then install windows 8 and select keep previous programs
    You may still get a couple of errors (bluetooth/trackpad and maybe video) but you can fix these simply by reinstalling the drivers, or rollback if a windons upgrade has over written the previous ones or by manually selecting your old windows 7 area that is kept when you upgrade to 8 (only delete windows 7 once you are happy)
    If you try and do a clean install of windows 8 bootcamp will not be installed (in the system tray) so none of the keyboard options or remapping will work or your backlight keyboard, even if you edit the bootcamp file so it will run in windows 8 to fix some of the drivers, bootcamp will not be installed
    You will not have the option to change some of the options in bootcamp system tray in windows 8 as it will show an error so only the default 2 finger scrolling etc is available, but it's enough for the function keys, sound, dimmer etc all to work ok
    How do I know this? I upgraded from 7 to windows 8 and had no problems, I then upgraded my SDD and had to reload everything from scratch, it took me several permutations (only windows 8,  windows 7 then 8, IOS and windows 8) till it was ok with IOS, windows 7 then 8. I also ran the system speed test on each permutation and the last one was the best which had something to do with Apple video drivers and chipset drivers IMO opposed to the ones windows 8 installs

  • How do i clean up my macbook air to install software updates?

    how do i clean up my macbook air to install software updates? It says that I need to clean up the startup disk because I do not have enough space left but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me?

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

    How do I AirDrop between my MacBook Air (OS 10.10.1 Yosemite) and my iPhone 5s (vs 8.1.2)?
    Bluetooth & wifi (same wifi) are turned ON for both my iPhone & laptop. 
    On the iPhone, I have selected a Camera photo to AirDrop and I see the AirDrop icon above the apps Message, Mail, Twitter, etc. but I don't see an option to actually AirDrop it onto the laptop.
    On the laptop (MacBook Air w/Yosemite), I'm in the Finder and have selected AirDrop, but to devices revealed in the window.
    What am I missing??????

    Which MacBook Air do you have? It must be a 2010 or newer according to this article: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
