Hello quick question, i have a late 2010 model and i am wondering if i can upgrade the battery with the new battery that comes with the new 2011 mac book air. i have been getting 3 hrs of use on my air....
As said above, you have the latest. But the 3 hrs of battery use (I assume the 11" model) seems very low. Reviews all show 5 hrs per spec, or close, with screen at 50% brightness. Unless you're doing something very processor or storage intensive, or have the screen at full brightness, I'd take it to an Apple Store and have them check it out.

    If you're looking to get an SSD with increased capacity, they can be purchased from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express
    They are very easy to install.
    Note that I'm not sure on how this may impact your warranty.  Nothing in an Air is considered user upgradable.  Therefore there would be no reason for a consumer to open it up.  As Apple does not consider the SSD as user replacable, it may cause warranty issues.  I have not seen any comments from anyone who has upgraded their SSD and subsequently had to have service.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Instead of using Ethernet, both Macs have got Thunderbolt. I recommend you to get a Thunderbolt cable and use it to transfer your files. The transfer will be much faster.

    My main question is I use parralells and windows 7 for some mapping software I use on my current macbook pro. Will this software be copied across as well or will I need to repurchase it all. Equally the question applies to purchased software such as pages, numbers, ms office for mac etc will they copy across to or will I need to rebuy?
    Migration Assistant will ask you what you want to transfer, and one of the folders it will ask you to transfer is Applications. If you tick it, all your applications will be transferred, including Parallels, Pages, Numbers, Office for OS X, etc. You may need to reactivate them. Also, you may have to buy Office again depending on the license you have. Transfer the Documents folder because the Parallels virtual machine is saved there.
    I recommend you to transfer your files during the initial setup of the MacBook Air, so you will only have one user > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html

  • Is it okay to upgrade to mversion mavericks? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5 and my safari is not responding..

    i have a question is it okay to upgrade to OS mavericks? free upgrade? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5,

    Shouldn't be a problem if your Mac can run Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    As for Safari. When you say not responding, do you mean it won't open a window, or it won't load websites, or it won't launch at all?
    The more details you provide, the easier to help you.

  • I can't turn on my Mac Book Air after upgrade the Lion software. Please, can you help me?

    I bought a Mac Book Air 3 month ago. I upgrade Lion software several hours ago. Later I reboot and I left to work. When I arrive, I can't turn on my MAC. Only light up the capital letter light, all the other parts are
    dead o seem to be. Can you tell me what I have to do to solve the problem, please?

    We can't, but Apple can, contact customer service, have your serial number ready and for a small fee Apple will send you a replacement.
    If you're in a hurry, go to the Apple Store and purchase a copy of OSX ($29 in the US)

  • I recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive

    i recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive.. is this possible and for how much? its only a week old.

    Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
    however those are the stipulations.
    RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
    As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
    No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
    data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
    SSD are very expensive, even a small one,  HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons.

  • Can I upgrade my iMac (10.6.8) with the prepackaged Lion on my new Mac Book Air?

    In August I bought a new Mac Book Air prepackaged with Lion OSX.
    At home I have an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Since I purchased a copy of Lion prepackaged with the Mac Book Air, is there some way I can use my Mac Book Air copy of Lion to upgrade my iMac?
    Or do I need to purchase a copy of Lion specially for the iMac?
    I live in Japan, so it's hard to get clear English advice sometimes!
    Thanks

    You need to buy a copy for your iMac. The version that comes with your MBA cannot be transferred.
    Regards.

    This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

    Yes, it is , however its very costly, and you should consider storing static media files on an external HD.

  • Do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

    do i have to upgrade from version 10.6.8 to use icloud on my mac book air?

    I'm afraid so. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • I have upgraded my mac book air and iMac to lion but only get AirDrop on Mac book air any one know why ?

    I have upgraded my Imac and mac book Air to Lion but only get AirDrop on teh Mac Book air does any one have any idea wht i can not get AirDrop on teh Imac?

    You can get Aip Drop to work on earlier Macs running Lion which Apple say are not compatible, well I did on my Early 2008 iMac.

    I give up. Why?
    Perhaps you could explain how it won't update?
    What have you tried?
    Any error messages?
    Any messages at all?
    Have you tried Apple menu > Software Update?
    You should be at Mac OS X 10.7.5 (not 10.7.4).

  • I am trying to install a new ram into my mac book air and i am having trouble finding it. can anyone help me through this?

  • Hi I just purchased a Mac Book Air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft and office

    I purchased a mac book air and installed the 2008 version of Microsoft Home and office.... would i need to purchase the latest version to upgrade
    or is it upgradable through a download?

    Office for Mac 2011 (or Office 365) are both available as downloads.  Start at mactopia.com.
    I would say they are not treated as "upgrades" to Office 2008.  I don't believe there is any pricing discount for previous Office users, nor do I think the download uses any of the Office 2008 version and updates it.  Whichever of the two current Office products you purchase would be considered an entirely new and different product.
