I want to buy a new laptop so my question is should i buy the new 2013 macbook air 13in or wait for the next model (june 2014) ?

This will be my first mac laptop, so my question if i am goin to miss a huge jump in the specifications for the next year release or not ?

We know there will eventually be a new MacBook Air (though the terms of use here prohibt speculation about it). We have no idea when it will come out or what it's specs will be. Retired Engineer's advice is exactly the same as mine. If you need a computer now, buy it. It is a powerful computer and except for the fact there's no 2TB SSD available (not that I could afford it if one existed) it could be my one and only computer. If you merely want a new computer, wait until you need one.

  • I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorising my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

    I had to buy a new laptop after my old one died, after authorizing my new one nearly my whole library has disappeared. How do I get all my songs back?

    Likely, because you are now using a different Apple ID and iTunes account. Return to using your old Apple ID and authorize only after you have de-authorized your old computer.
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • How can I sync my iPad with a new laptop (same itunes account) and not lose all my app data, i.e. games data stored on the ipad, not the app itself?

    I want to sync my iPad with a new laptop, so I can get rid of the old computer.  I have already downloaded all the itunes content on the new laptop, but when i go to sync, it tells me that itunes will erase and copy all the apps from the new library.  The 2 computers are on the same account, so is there a way to copy the apps (including app data) onto the new laptop, instead of vice versa?

  • New laptop-a few questions

    I just bought a new laptop and have downloaded iTunes. If I plug in my iPhone, will iTunes on my new laptop pick up the applications, etc. from my iPhone? I'm a little afraid that I may wipe out the stuff on the iPhone. I have been syncing my phone with iTunes on my desktop computer previously. I want to be able to sync my iPhone with either computer. My goal is to get my contacts from the phone into the Outlook contacts folder on my new laptop.

    You need to transfer or copy your iTunes library from your desktop to your new laptop - especially if your iTunes library on your desktop includes content that was acquired elsewhere besides from the iTunes store - such as music imported into your iTunes library from a music CD.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with a single computer only. Even after transferring or placing a copy of your entire iTunes library from your desktop to your laptop, your iPhone will be erased of all iTunes content first when syncing iTunes content with your laptop since you are syncing your iPhone with a different computer. If you plan on transferring photos from your laptop to your iPhone, the same applies to photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    You can sync contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.

  • With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
    3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
    I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
    Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
    I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!

  • Should I wait for the release of FF 4 to install on my new laptop?

    I have a 3.x version of FF on my "old" laptop, but I bought a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and want to install FF4 on it. Q: should I wait for the full release of FF 4 to install on the new machine, or would it be "better" to download FF 3.x first?

    Personally I would use the Firefox 4 release candidate.
    The current Firefox 4 release candidate will become the official Firefox 4 release providing no bugs are found that force a new version to be created. If there is a second release candidate, those using the first release candidate will automatically be updated to the latest version. It is still undergoing quality assurance testing but so far no showstopper bugs have been found.

  • Should i buy macbook Pro now??? or wait for the new model in 2012..???

    i want to buy MacBook Pro....so... should i wait for the new model or???

    Your question is analogues to the same situation if you were contemplating the purchase of a new car.
    If you need one and the current model satisfies your needs, purchase it.  If the current crop does not satisfy your needs you certainly can wait for a new model, but there is no guarantee that the new model will have features that will fulfill your expectations.
    In short, your choices are dealing with the known vs unknown possibilities.
    Ciao.

  • If you get a new 2013 macbook air does the laptop come with os x mountain lion?

    I have a new 2013 MacBook Air and i was wondering if my laptop came with OS X Mountain Lion????

    It should. To check click the Apple logo in the menu bar (top left) and select "About This Mac"
    If the OS X version shows 10.8 then you have Mountain Lion.
    If you don't have the Mac yet then the new one you buy will have Mountain Lion on it.

  • I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?

    I ordered a battery for my laptop because it said to replace battery soon.  How long can I let the new battery sit around as I wait for the old one to run out of more charge?  Will the new one become less effective if it sits around too long?

    How much capacity is remaining on your current battery?
    Check your power status
    From the  menu: Hold OPTION and click System Information... èHardware è Power
    Copy and Paste in your reply.
    The new battery will become less effective if you store it in a hot or humid environment. It should be stored at room temperature (22 C).
    Long term storage (6 months):
    Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life.

    I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in  Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

    It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
    It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
    First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
    Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
    Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
    Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
    This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
    Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
    Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
    Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

  • I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
    Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
    Flight to germany, but it over their.
    I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
    For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me.

    I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

    Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
    so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...
