HT4905 what is the HDD capacity used in a new macbook air out of the box?

I tried migration assitant to transfer data from my old macbook air through wifi to my just purchased new macbook air and it took 3 days yet still not done. I finally aborted it. But the MacHDD system disk shows 20GB is still in use. I don't know if some of the aborted old migration data still occupy the disk. Thus this question.

Yes, Migration Assistant successfuly copied files and aborting didn't erase them. As you've learned, WiFi is not the best way to migrate. I assume you are migrating from computer to computer. You could connect the two with an Ethernet cable and that will be a lot faster. If you are using TimeCapsule as your source you can also connect the computer to it with an Ethernet cable.

  • What package do you recommend with buying a new macbook air?

    I am looking to buy a MacBook Air.  I'd like a much storage as possible, speed as posible and to edit photos, etc (but don't want to pay for more than I need).  Thanks.  I am hoping to use my new MacBook Air seamlessly with my iPad2 for pages documents (sinced to the cloud).

    1. Opt for the 8 GB memory upgrade. For $100, it will absolutley give the biggest "bang for buck", in terms of performance upgrades. Since you can never upgrade the memory later, it is a necessity to include the option with your purchase.
    2. 256 GB is a reasonable amount of SSD, provided that your iTunes library is under around 32 GB, and you don't plan on storing too much in the way of movies or other space intensive files. It is also enough if you possibly plan to run a simple Windows installation with a VM product like Fusion or Parallels. Consider the larger 500 GB selection if you think you will be storing large amounts of data. Only yop will know what you will need. I say estimate your need, then double it. I have about 175 GB on my system right now, and use Windows and have a modest iTunes libary, with a few movies. I opted for the 500 GB SSD, so I have some room.
    3. Upgrade the processor only if you will be needing the device for light gaming, video editing, or any other processor or graphics intensive work. The base processor is pretty good, and the upgrade is only a modest increase in performace, so this will be the least likely upgrade to consider if money is tight.

  • Why is the audio input different on my new macbook air?

    I am trying to use a third-party headset with built in microphone.  The adapters that I bought were recommended to me by the Apple store; they work fine in older models but do not work in the new macbook air. Why on earth would that be? There is no way to have this laptop recognize the microphone in my headset, the internal microphone stays on.  I think this is an issue with the 2013 macbook air!

    Its not hardware no, unless your specific Air had a problem.
    reset SMC and recheck.  ALSO do not use same plugged in after a sleep mode, there can be a fault, until this is fixed, that connected headsets and earphones will drop sound in sleep mode using Mavericks.
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Why can't I connect to my shared computers for file sharing;I have 3 Macs and I can connect the other 2 but not my new Macbook air.

    I have a black Macbook 4,1 running 10.7.5, an iMac 11,3 running 10.7.5 and a new Macbook Air 6,2 running 10.9.5., I have file sharing turned on on all machines. All machines are visible and I can connect all machines except for the Macbook Air. The Macbook air can see the other 2 Macs but does not connect to either of them or even give me the option to connect as a guest or a registered user. The other Macs connect to the Macbook Air but it will not connect with them. Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

  • I have a new Macbook Air and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on. The computer is not hot.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?

    I have a new Macbook Air, 6 months old, and for the last few days the fan had run continuously, this is the first time it has ever run, and now it won't stop, the fan starts up as soon as I turn it on and the computer seems to running more slowy.The computer is not hot but I am worried it may burn out,.Any ideas on how I can fix this please ?

    Hello dwb,
    Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
    Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
    Thank you again for your advice,
    Regard,

  • How do I download the free iWorks apps for my new Macbook Air?

    I purchased a new MacBook Air yesterday, which is supposed to come with free iWork and iLife, but I can't find them on here. If I go to the app store to download them individually (pages, numbers etc) it shows I can purchase... but not free.
    How can I download the free version?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities

  • New MacBook Pro out of the box-security question

    Hi all,
    My son just bought and started using a MacBook Pro straight of the box. We have him on our home network that we have secured.
    Does he has a false sense of security?? Should he have some programs--security wise--install on his Pro??
    I have been a PC user for years and always keep everyone's computers up and running, so I just want to pass any words of wisdom from the Mac World on to him...besides I am so jealous and I am thinking my next notebook will be just like his, and security is something this mom is always thinking about. Thanks! Paula

    Unfortunately there are lots of security threats, some of which may apply to Macs.
    You should turn on the firewall if it isn't on by default.
    You should make sure to do software updates as they are issued.
    But these days the biggest threat it not with things that a firewall can stop, because it's things that you get yourself, via mail or web. OS X is pretty good. They fix most security problems quickly. But there are still risks. I don't know any security software that can protect you against installing software that has spyware built in, or against a web site that has exploits of a bug that hasn't been fixed yet.
    Your risk depends a lot upon what you do. Marginal software such as that used to do illegal file sharing has significant risks even for the Mac.

  • Can the new MacBook Air 13" with the i3 processor run Adobe Connect?

    I need a new computer for college this fall. I really am leaning towards the MacBook Air, 13" model with the i3 Processor and an upgrade to 8 GB ram. Will this (w/ a 1.3GHz Processor) run Adobe Connect? It says it requires 1.83GHz for Mac. So is it not fast enough? Should I just get the pro? :/
    Here is the site on Adobe...

    Any help is appreciated. :)

    I agree that the Retina display is only truly useful for photographers, etc; but as someone who owns a 13 inch Retina MBP and had a 13 inch MBA, I wouldn't necessarily clssify the non-Retina machines as "better".  The difference in display quality is quite noticeable, I like it, and I've never had a problem running non-optimized websites or apps on the machine and I'm fussy about displays. Maybe that's because I've left it running at default settings.
    It really all depends on where you want to put your bucks.  In general, you can get slightly better performance for the same money with a non-Retina machine.
    That said, if you're looking at benchmarks and using Geekbench, a 1.3 i5 2013 MBA comes out at 5940-5950; my 2012 2.5 i5 Retina benches out at 6777, so it's slightly faster but not remarkably so.  The 2013 1.7 i7 MBA will match up with it and even exceed it a bit, at least until the Retinas are upgraded with Haswell later.  I suspect they'll be faster, though it depends on what chips Apple uses and how much battery life they want to trade off for it.  Also, you are using some graphics power with the Retina just to process the display, and the newer Intel graphics GPU's are generally stronger than the 4000 series in the current Retina, so that's a littl bit of the trade off you'd make.
    The newer models have a faster disk access system and 8011.ac wireless though the latter is problematic at the moment and it will take some time for Apple to fix that.  You'll also not be able to take too much advantage of the faster wirelss speeds immediately unless you buy a new (8011.ac) router; it will take a few years before the rest of the world catches up to the new standard.  The 13 Retina MBP has an extra Thunderbolt port..which I routinely use..and an HDMI slot not present on the MBA.
    Just do your homework, consider all your needs, and get what serves you best.

  • New Mac Air out of the box. How long does it take for the battery to charge?

    I just purchased a MacBook Air.  Can you tel me how long it takes for the battery to charge?  I'm anxious to use it.

    Go ahead and start using it.  Plug it in with the power cord and start it up.

  • I just took my new MacBook Pro out of the box and the screen will not work. Display is, black no life to the screen at all

    So I just ordered my first Mac book Pro. I took it out of the box and hit the power button to do the start up and the screen will not work at all. I shut the computer off and back on again. I plugged it in and unplugged it. I've done everything I can think of and the screen still stays blank with no life at all

    Is the battery charged? Press the little button on the left edge, near the front. If no green dots, no charge.
    Does it charge? When you connect the MagSafe charger, does the pilot light on the plug light up?
    Does it actually start? Should sound a chime after you press the power button on the top/right corner. If it chimes, does the Caps Lock pilot light when you press it?
    If it starts and Caps Lock does flash on and off, have you tried pressing the screen brightness control for awhile? F2 turns up the brightness, may be turned fully down.

  • I need to transfer my settings which I saved in the vq6vpz1e.default file to a new macbook air and am having trouble doing it

    I read that if I saved my old settings found in the vq6vpz1e.default file, I could then transfer them to a new computer. However now that I have done that, I don't know how to actually input them into the new computer which is a macbook air. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    It is better to only copy files with important data to that new profile and not the full profile folder to the new computer
