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.

  • Does the new (2013) macbook air have the same structure and size as the original?

    I just recently purchased the new 2013 13" macbook air and was looking into getting a case. Wanted to know if i need a different case for the 2013 macbook air? Please respond ASAP!!

    Actually... if by "original".... you actually mean "original", the answer would be no.  The original Air was released in 2008 and has a significantly different format than the second generation:

  • Does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion?

    does all new macbook air come with OS X Mountain Lion? if so, where can i find it? cause if i'm right, i remember saw a mountain lion logo on someones desktop. also, if i have it on my mac, why do I find it in the apple store saying that I need to purchase it for $19.99?

    All new MacBooks Air come with OS X Mountain Lion, as it's the only supported version in Mid 2013 MacBooks Air. Mid 2012 MacBooks Air come with Lion or Mountain Lion, depending on when they were manufactured.

    The Mid 2013 MacBook Air uses a special OS X Mountain Lion version which is different than the version available at the Mac App Store. That's the reason why you see the price at the Mac App Store, but you already have Mountain Lion. If you try to purchase Mountain Lion, the App Store will tell you that it's not compatible with your MacBook Air. To reinstall Mac OS X, you have to use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

    I need to upgrade my first generation Macbook Air 1,1 to Lion OS x10. I need to install other  software that requires 10.7 also a java update that requires 10.7. I am currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my macbook Air 1.1 will not go up to Mountain Lion. The Lion software update 10.7 is no longer available from the store or downloads.
    Where do I get this?
    It was only released a couple of months ago.
    I really feel disinfranchised already by not being able to upgrade and keep up with other software needs but to not allow me to update to my full capacity is really ridiculous.

  • I bought a used macbook air,  it didn't come with the flash drive to do a factory reset.  Can I download the info needed and save it to my own flash drive and then do a factory reset?  If not what can I do?

    If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, click here, phone Apple, and order a replacement.
    If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart it with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

  • 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.

  • When will or did the new 2013 MacBook Air be released or released??

    I'm  Going to buy a 13-inch MacBook Air. But the shops in my country still  don't have the 2013 MacBook Air yet. And I don't know when it was released.

    Released in the US the second week of June.

  • Mid 2013 Macbook Air - Worth the upgrade

    Hey,
    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch (early 2011)

  • How can I get my new 2012 Macbook Air to recognize my LG usb optical drive

    I am attempting to install software on my new MacBook Air 13", with my LG Portable Super Multi Drive. It works perfectly on my MacBook Pro, and other macs, but when I plug it into the USB port of my new MacBook Air, it spins, acts like it wants to load the disk, but it doesn't !
    Any thoughts on how I can get this to work?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    For it to show on the desktop check on Finders menubar.  Finder > Preferences > General > check CDs DVDs and iPods.  Do the Same in the sidebar tab if desired.

  • Upgrading Macbook Air hard drive and upgrading Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion at same time

    I have a 2011 Macbook Air 3,2 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  My 128GB SSD hard drive is completely full, and I have ordered an upgrade from OWC which also comes with an optional external enclosure.  I would like to do a clean install (to "upgrade") to Mountain Lion on the new drive.  Can anyone confirm if the following sequence will work?
    1.  Purchase Mountain Lion on App Store and download to an SD card
    2.  Connect my new OWC SSD as an external drive
    3.  Do a clean install of Mountain Lion from the SD card to my new external SSD
    4.  Boot from the external SSD
    5.  Use Migration Assistant to move everything from my in-system old SSD to the new (currently external) SSD
    6.  Shut down
    7.  Physically swap the SSD drives
    8.  Boot from the newly-installed larger internal SSD
    9.  Done?
    Is it that simple or am I missing some major step?  In particular, are there any complications with step 3 above?
    Thanks for your help!

    Carl,
    The SD card can be used as a boot drive, if you manage to restore the image to the drive.. I tried to use an SD card in the built-in card reader, and for whatever reason could not get Disk Utility to restore the InstallESD.dmg image to the SD card directly when done throught the Air's reader. I had to use an SD card that had a built-in USB tab, and use USB. I did not try using an external SD adapter to the USB port to see if that would work.
    Remember, you don't open the package by double clicking the installer, you Right-click (or Control+click) the installer, and choose Show Package Contents from the resulting contextual menu. In the folder that appears, open Contents, then open Shared Support; you’ll see a disk-image file called InstallESD.dmg.
    Launch Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). Drag the InstallESD.dmg disk image into Disk Utility’s left-hand sidebar to the flash drive you want to restore the image to.
    I would copy the downloaded installer to a safe location, so if you ever need it again.

  • New i7 Macbook Pro does not shut down with Nokia Internet Modem CS-15

    Hello everyone!
    It is unfortunate that my first post here is regarding a problem! I am completely new to the whole Apple Mac thing but decided to buy a new 17 inch i7 Macbook Pro. Unfortunately a problem occurred when using the Nokia Internet Stick (modem) CS-15 where it stays on the blue screen with the spinning logo when trying to shut down. Heres what happened:
    After installing and connecting the modem, I used the intenet for a while. Then I folded the display panel downwards to put the computer to sleep mode (I didn't disconnect the modem) after a moment I pushed the display up again to bring the computer out of sleep mode and tried to quit the Nokia programme. It wouldn't so I used 'force quit'. It was not responding before. Once all programmes were closed, I shut down the computer but it just stays on the blue screen with the spinning logo. I can manually hold down the power button but i want to know why it won't shut down! I also noticed the Nokia Modem was still on with a flashing blue LED.
    I feel that the modem might be stopping the MBP from shutting down. I have tried to quit the programme before without putting the computer in sleep mode but sometimes it doesn't work and i need to use force quit.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? I haven't installed anything on the computer or have background programmes running - just seems to be a problem with USB devices stopping it from shutting down properly.
    I have also tried to pull the Modem out physically after quitting the programme but it still hangs on the blue screen!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you!
    New Mac user!!

    Hi,
    running the activity monitor and select System Processes, set the window to see allrunning processes and sort by CPU usage, close all applications that are using and try to shut down your Mac, then identifies what the process that consumes more CPU percentage.

  • Did my MacBook Air 10.7.5 come with a word-processing program?

    I can't find one in the HD.  The only thing I've been able to use for WP is TextEdit, which I don't like.
    I tried downloading Microsoft Word 2004, but got an error message saying that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  (I assume there's no workaround for this.)
    Thanks for your help.

    Mac OS X comes with TextEdit, but it only works for basic processing. Instead, there are some apps you can use:
    1. Microsoft Office 2011. This is the latest Office version for OS X, that you can get from the Microsoft page > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    2. Apple iWork. This is the Word's Apple version, and it works well for basic needs. You can purchase it at the Mac App Store.
    3. LibreOffice. It's free and I recommend you to try this application first. See > http://www.libreoffice.org

  • I purchased a new 2013 iMac but it didn't come with a start up disc.

    How do I make one? Or should it have come with one?

    Right - the reason for the clarification was to add information to the following:
    In the event your hard disk completely fails, which means you can't even use its Recovery partition, and it's out of warranty, and you don't want to pay Apple a reasonable fee to replace it, you may be able replace the hard disk yourself ...
