If I buy Macbook Air online now, does it have Mountain Lion OS?

If I buy Macbook Air online now, does it have Mountain Lion OS? Or I still have to update by myself?
Thanks!

Macs come shipped with the newest OS.  If ordering now, it will come with ML.

  • Issue when updating my 2,1 Macbook Air from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion.

    I am trying to update my 2,1 Macbook Air from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion however when I go to install it, it says "This update requires OS X version 10.8.". I cant see a resolution anywhere and so was hoping you guys could help?

    Yes, and that's good and correct.

    This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
    your computer has what is called  a recovery partition that came with it.
    simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
    you will boot into the recovery partition.
    Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    it will ask  you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
    easy peasy

  • Did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    Yours is the first computer I've heard about on these forums that is attempting to run Mavericks with only 2GB of RAM.
    Indeed that is acceptable per the Mavericks requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    ... but as you may know, Apple has not sold computers with as little as 2GB RAM for quite a while.
    I suggest therefore you make sure you remove any applications that may be overtaxing your machine.  Examples are browsers other than Safari, Mac cleaning products (such as Mac Keeper), or any other non-Apple app that has some startup process running (such as Outlook).

  • Buy Macbook air 11" now or later?

    Hey,
    I definitely want to buy the Macbook air 11" as it is completely ideal for what I need in a laptop. I've done all my research about which laptop is right for me, etc. This is it, BUT....
    Since I'm still saving for it, (should be ready in a couple of months), should I buy it when I can, or should I wait until OS X Lion comes out? I figure that if I wait then the MBA will come with Lion preinstalled and I won't have to fork out extra cash for the upgrade.
    Does anyone know if this is true or if it will still come with Snow Leopard and I will have to buy Lion separately anyway? If I do, how will I install it on the MBA without a CD drive? Could it be possible that it will be available on the Mac App Store?

    "Constraining" is relative. I moved down from a MBP 13" and I have not looked back. I never needed that much hard drive, 4GB RAM is plenty fast for all I do, and I love the beautiful little screen.
    I can understand feeling constrained if one is deeply into gaming or video or something that needs and eats up that kind of disk space and/or requires a larger display. But I don't do anything like that on my machine. My need was for something light and small. My 11" is half the weight of my old computer, thin as thin can be, and perfect for the small tables at the coffee houses where I work.
    It isn't constrained at all--it frees me from the constraints that a larger, heavier and more cumbersome computer caused me. And yes, for me, even a 13" MBA would be more cumbersome than this little 11"--and too constraining.
    Which is to say, you might find this little machine constraining, but I've never felt so unconstrained For me, the 11" was the way to go. I would not switch it out for a 13", not for love nor money nor for all the bells and whistles that larger machine might have.

  • I just got the mid 2011 macbook air and it does not have ilife or iPhoto on it...isnt it supposed to come with it? and if it does then how do i get it on the mac without having to pay for it in the app store?

    I just got a macbook air and i thought that it was supposed to come with ilife already installed? But there is not ilife apps...how do i get  it on the laptop without having to buy them all from the app store if it was supposed to come with it?

    From the iPhoto Licence:
    3. Transfer.
    A. Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
    B. For any preinstalled Apple Software, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software is transferred together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; (iv) you have not associated the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account as set forth in Section 2B; and (v) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License.
    If the previous owner accepted the preinstalled software (iPhoto, etc) to the AppleID, it cannot be passed on to a new owner. Even if the previous owed would use her or his Applied to install it for you, you would never be able to reinstall it or to update it.
    In that case buy your own copies of the software.

  • Macbook air 2011 a lot warmer after mountain lion upgrade

    Hi,
    Does anyone have the same experience, my macbook is a lot warmer after I upgraded to ML several days ago. Temperatures are a lot higher and it's uncomfortable on my lap even though I'm only browsing the web and have no other major processes running in the background. Even setting the fans higher with smc fancontrol does not help (of cours if I crank them up it will, but I got the MBA because it's quiet and cool to use on my lap, or used to be)
    I'm really considering downgrading again.
    Remco

    I have both a 2009 MBP and a mid 2011 MBA with Mountain Lion installed. That fans aren't running any sooner, faster, or more often than with Lion. Maybe I'm lucky . What I suggest you do first is restart the computer and immediately launch the Activity Monitor and switch it to the CPU panel.
    In the top window there's a list of every process running and the 4th column over is CPU. If you click on the word CPU you can sort the the processes in order by CPU usage - click until it sorts from highest to lowest. Now at a glance you can see which processes are taxing the CPU the most and by how much.
    Right now I have Safari, Mail and quite a few other applications running and my highest usage is Safari with it ranging from 4% to 10% CPU usage. The processes in the background are all considerably less except for Mail every 5 minutes when it checks for new mail. That's about the same numbers I saw in Lion, though Safari is a bit more CPU and RAM hungry in ML.
    For your computer to be running hotter it is using the CPU more (or the fans less). So the first step is to see if you have any processes (programs) really using the CPU at a rate that seems abnormally high. If nothing seems out of the ordinary, there are a couple programs that let you adjust the fan settings so they come on sooner and/or run faster.

  • 2012 Macbook Air Kernel Panics post after installing Mountain Lion

    I recently purchased a 2012 13" Macbook Air.  No Issues under Lion for over a month.  After upgrading to Mountain Lion (and taking the firmware update to support power), I've been experiencing consistent shutdowns whenever I close the lid and let the machine sleep for more than a few minutes.  I've been submitting the error reports and gave apple a call yesterday and we went through some troubleshooting steps but the problem has continued.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?  Trying to figure out if it's a Mountain Lion or firmware bug that I will need to live with until a fix comes out or if it's possibly a third party software incompatability issue.  Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi guys! Just installed ML on my early 2009 MBAir (after market upgraded to a 240g SSD, but still just 2g of ram), and I panicked a bit at first when it turned out to be painfully slow and not displaying right (+slow trackpad!).
    Bear in mind that the first thing ML will do is index your files for spotlight, which takes a while and is a bit of a resource hog that will slow everything else down and cause your machine to heat up.
    I let it work all night, but by morning, my CPU usage was STILL at 100% and everything slow...
    Activity monitor showed nothing over 10% CPU usage... First tip was to display ALL processes in Activity monitor, and not just MY processes, to see what exactly was sucking up my CPU!
    Then, and it seems to often be the culprit on MBA's, it turned out that the kernel_task process was using up to 170% of my CPU usage (!). Problem is, that process sort of does a million things, so it can be hard to pinpoint the actual issue.
    One of the things it does though, is work against overheating...
    Given the download+install+indexing, my machine had been working all day and night, and was indeed getting super hot. Turning it off and letting it cool down for a whole fixed it all.
    Kernel_task is back to normal, CPU usage is normal, display and trackpad are back to perfect. And in the end, ML is snappier than SL for me, even with the bare minimum in memory!
    Good luck! <3

  • Is my Mid-2011 MacBook Air eligible for free upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    hey pals, I bought the MC969 (11" 4GB 128GB) MacBook Air on 1st July 2012. Just wanna know that is the IVth Gen MacBook Air which is barely a week old, eligible for the mountain lion uptodate program?

    Caution!
    As stedman1's reference states, the customer must purchase a qualitying new Mac system.
    The question was about last year's Mac model.  I'm convinced you will have to pay the $20 for Mountain Lion.
    Anyway, you can check back on the stedman1 reference page once Mountain Lion is released for definitive results.

  • MacBook Air 2011 Fan increased after installed mountain lion

    Hi all,
    I have a Macbook Air 2011, Intel core i7. After when I installed ML I noticed that battery go down very fast (about 2:40h) and the Fan speed RPM is about 6500 all time, but I haven't any strong operation pending or App. I have the same app open since lion (Internet, chat, jdownloader) in background (skydrive,evernote,weatherhd) the same app and background task I have with Lion.
    In monitor activity all task is from 1% to 20-30% of usage.
    Any Tips?

    I only have the fan kick in when the graphics is getting hit hard (playing games, driving external displays, etc) with crappy intel on board graphics. 
    Is your MacBook Air in a protective case, skin or having anything block the vent hinge?
    Definitely sounds like the OS thinks it needs to keep running the fan.
    You might try this smart temperature desktop widget and monitor your temperature to see if there is any sane reason for the fans to be on (they are loud!).
