Is the first mac book air (1,1) now obsolete?

Hello,
Firefox told me to get a new computer. With the limited knowledge I have and the searching I've done, I'm still not sure if there is a work around for me. Has apple stopped updating/supporting the operating system on my notebook? (OSX 10.5.8) If so, from what I have looked at so far, I'm not sure if I can upgrade the operating system of my notebook. Can I spend $30 and get "snow leopard"? (10.6.x) Is that right? I'm relatively new to the mac terminology, as this notebook was gifted to me. It seems that if I can go to "snow leopard", I'll have support, but for how long? Do you think it's worth $30? Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, make a backup and call Apple to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Then, use DVD Sharing (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287) or the USB SupeDrive to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Finally, go to Apple menu > Software Update and update to the most recent version

If you are indeed using 10.5.8 as indicated in your signature you will first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard; this is available in the Online Apple Store. You will then be able to uprade to Lion - again available in the Online Store where you will get a code to enable download from the App Store in Applications. This will enable you to use iCloud and run the latest iTunes.

Hi micjhal,
Call them up! If you look on your receipt it'll indicate you have 14-days to return it (if bought at a retail store) and 30-days if bought through the online store.

super keyword is used when there is inheritance (class extending other class). In your particular case, super keyword doesn�t make sense, since there isn�t inheritance between A and B. You can use the INT field by an instance of A class.
a keyword like "parent" does not exist in java.

I just bought a macbook air .I want to pass all my programs to the new mac book. My old is a mac book pro.

I already passed some programs. Now the new mac book air is asking for the password. (I am putting my password but it isn't working)

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

HT4796 iTunes music downloaded from pc to mac book air

I have just used the migration assistant to download my itunes from my PC but it has gone into a separate folder when I open up my mac book air.
So now I can either log into that or my macbook. is there a way of now putting all my music into the iTunes on the mac book without having to open the other log in every time?

Elements 11 and Mac Book Air

Has anyone installed Elements 11 on the new Mac Book Air? Any issues or suggestions appreciated.

PSE11 will work fine on the Macbook Air although I've only seen it personally on the 13 inch.
Pop into your local Apple store if possible. The often have PSE11 installed.

Final cut and logic studion on a mac book air?

I reflect on what computer I should buy if I use a lot of Logic Studio and Final Cut.
I have thought of Mac Book Pro for a while now, but then released the new Mac Book Air and it's very stylish and easy to carry.
What do you think?

Can a latest Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen?

Presentation at meetings require Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen.
A Mac Book Pro is possible to get connected to a display screen using a A1307 adopter.
Does any one know if the latest Mac Book Air connectable to a display screen using A1307 adopter or anyother means? I would be oblighed to know the possibility prior to buy one.
Regards

The Thunderbolt port doubles as a Mini-DisplayPort. Thunderbolt is not the same as Firewire. However, Apple does sell a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor so you can connect Firewire devices to the computer. Thunderbolt devices may be daisy-chained, but a display monitor must be the last device on that chain.
According to what I found the A1307 adaptor is Mini-DisplayPort to VGA. It will not connect to a Firewire port.

I have a mac book air 11". When I boot up connected to the huge Thunderbolt screen it detects the detects the fact and gives me great quality. now I am travelling away from the scree it boots up, nice picture, then switches to rubbish resolution.

I have a Mac Book air 11". Normally at home I connect this to a large Thuderbolt Screen. When booting up it some times gets confused and offers me a low resolution result, but some plugging and unplugging of the screen fixes this. I assume it sometimes "sees" the big screen and sets the resolition accordingly. Sometimes does not. But now... I am away from big screen and cannot get the Macbook air on its one to deliver anything other than really poor resolution. I ahve done displays and chosen all three - but no better. And I have said Choose the Best ONe... again not luck. Any ideas. I read in back posts this was a problem a few years ago.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I believe you have a failing GPU (aka Video Card). Run AHT and see what it tells you. Do not be afraid to run it up to three times in succession if at first it does not detect an error (sometimes errors that are caused by overheating will not show up until the computer is stressed enough - repeating AHT will do that).
As an aside - the MBA was not designed to take the place of a desktop. If you are powering your MBA by leaving it permanently attached to the thunderbolt port on the monitor you are shortening your battery life.

Home Sharing one Mac Book Air Will Not allow Music to Transfer to the MAC

First here's what we have
2 users, (2) iPhones and Mac Book Pro and Mac Book Air and a Windows PC
All computers are set to manually manage music.
I have home sharing set on all 3 computers. When l log into either the Macs or the PC I can drag music I want between either computer with no problems. All computers are authorized. When my wife logs into her account on her Mac Air she cannot move any music from the shared computers. We have separate iTunes accounts. Anyone have any idea, why when using her user account she cannot drag the music files over to her Mac Air

for home sharing to work, iTunes must be authorized to the same user account.

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
