I can't update my macbook air 2012 to flash storage version 1.0

hello,
I'll install the update of my macbook air to version 1.0 but after the reboot the Mac app store shows me that I should update.
I downloaded this version from this website but the the same result. Any suggestions?

Are you running your Mac on battery or is it plugged into a power outlet? In order for the firmware to update, it must be plugged in. From the kb article you posted:
The power cord must be connected to your MacBook Air and plugged into a working power source.
If it is not connected to power, your system will just restart without giving any sort of message. They should probably make it a bit more clear that your system must be plugged in.
If your Mac was plugged in, we'll need to look further.

Will Macbook Air(2012) with 256G storage flash have storage problem

Will Macbook Air (2012) with 256G storage flash have storage problem described in "MacBook Air Flash Storage Drive Replacement Program"?
In the web page http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/, it says that Apple has determined that certain 64GB and 128GB flash storage drives used in the previous generation of MacBook Air systems may fail. I wonder whether Macbook Air with 256GB flash storage may come into the same problem?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
No. 256 GB flash storage does not have that problem. However, it's important that you make backups of your data to keep your files safe

HELP

You need to buy OS X 10.6. It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here. After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8.

Problems on Mavercks on macbook air 2012

Since i updated my Macbook air 2012 to mavericks i am having some problems, my system freeze sometimes forcing me to restart by pressing the power button for 10 seconds.
Another thing i noticed, its that when i am using graphics aplications, like Final cut or games, me screen glitches a little, if i try to alternate between aplications, make zoom, or this kind of thing, and thats quite annoyng and a little scary, becouse every time look like my system its going to crash.
Id like to know if thats a probem that i can solve by myself, or it is a mavericks problem and apple may fix it in the next updates.
Thanks a Lot

Make sure there's enough free storage space.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And try a Safe Mode boot.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

Update my MacBook Air

I have a MacBook Air (with 128GB flash storage) which bought October, 2013. Can I use the used one to update for a 256GB flash storage one? or update to a MacBook Pro?

your question is not clear.
Your Macbook AIr late 2013 uses PCIe SSD module, and it can be changed to 256SSD (see OWC website)
this module is diff. than the proprietary SSD used by the current Pro however.

Can MacBook Air (2012) handle 1920x1080 resolution on external display?

Hi there,
I was currently thinking about buying the following external display:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-E2251VR-inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B0060LCBTG/ref=cm_ cr_pr_product_top
I have read mixed things about connecting macbooks to external displays so wanted to ask the following:
1. Firstly can the MacBook air 2012 handle an external monitor with resolution 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz?
2. Secondly, I have heard some Macbooks, with some cables (predominantly HDMI), don't give the option of 1920x1080 when plugged in, instead cap it at around 1600 leaving the external screen blurry. Which connection is best to get the full 1080p resolution, DVI, VGA or HDMI?
Thanks for any help you guys can offer!
Rob

Thanks for your responses!
Captfred - I've tried plugging it into my friends screen now using my minidisplay to HDMI cable and the following options show up:
1080i
1080p
720p
1600x1400
1440x900
etc etc
Is the 1080p option 1920x1080? If I choose the 1080p option, the resolution looks nice and has large real estate on there, the only thing is if I full screen it the top and bottom are cut off? Is this a problem with the aspect ratio of the screen do you think?
Thanks again

Your only option is to sell the one that you have and buy a new one with 8 GB of RAM.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

1. Press the F2 key couple of times.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

If this does not help, contact Apple.

Since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg

since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg any ideas how to sort it out?

I am having the same issue with Media Temple Email.
My problem in more detail is:
Adding my Media Temple Hosted domain email to a desktop service on my Macbook Air.
I have tried this on both Mac Mail and Thunderbird.
I add the account manually and have checked, double checked, triple checked the server addresss and also the user name and password and they are correct.
I have altered the ports from being default to custom and have tried both SSL and non SSL and still it is unable to connect to the SMTP server.
IMAP inbox is working as I recieve mails but can not send them.
I have chatted to Media Temple and they say it must be something to do with the hardware of the MacBook Air which to start with I disagreed with but I have since tried adding the email to my Mac Mini and it works fine.
I am assuming their is an issue in the MacBook Air with the SMTP ports and I would really appreciate some advice on how to fix this as I don't want to use Webmail for ever.
Thanks in Advance

How to reset my macbook air 2012?

hi,, my name is jovito ,,i have this macbook air 2012,, and i planning to buy the new version,, and my friend want to buy my 2012 air.. but before he buy this air,, he wants me to reset it first.. and i dont kmow how to.. please help.. thank you...

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run the Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall the original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from discs or a read-only USB key, deliver those to the new owner.
The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.

I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both still result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.
I have even bought a new Airport Extreme Router just to confirm it is not the router and it still didn't help.
I have brought all items in the same room with wired connections and still same issue.
I was thinking maybe ATV 3 might help since it has 2 wifi antennas and faster processor.
Have tried everything I could think of.
This was one of the main reasons I bought a Macbook Air for this airplay feature. Very frustrated.
Any thoughts; any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion.
I also disabled Norton Firewall and restarted the Air and Now I'm able to use Air Play.
I know that the Apple remedy said that to do that in the support article, but I totally forgot I had that enabled..
It actually works. I can even stream to the Apple TV now through my MacBook Air.
BTW, Go into setting under the ATV, and click on update...you'll see that there was another update avaialble for the last gen of ATV...
It does have to restart twice..I guess once to download and and nother to apply.
