Macbook air 2013 osx upgrade

Does anyone know if the new MBA 2013 will have a free upgrade to Mavericks when the new OS X is released?

Depends when you buy it.  Usually, if you buy a Mac within 30 days or less of the announcement of new OS version, you will be allowed a free upgrade.  But if you buy now, and Mavericks is not released until September say, then no, almost certainly you will have to pay to upgrade.

    Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week. 
    Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
    Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
    Fix:
    With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
    It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
    Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

  • Macbook Air 2013 OSX 10.9.2 iSight Camera not working

    Hello to everyone!
    I have a problem here in my new macbook air 2013.
    Since I updated my osx to 10.9.2 my iSight Camera is not working anymore. I tried to reset the SMC and PRAM without results. I also checked the permissions on my hard disk without any result.
    I've also tried to delete my AppleCamera.plugin file from /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/ and I tried to use another one from OSX 10.8.4 but it's not working.
    What can I do more?
    Is there any way to fix this problem without formatting?
    Regards,
    Marco Alioli

  • Macbook air 2013 osx install

    Hi
    incidentally deleted my ssd partitions and now, can not install osx 10.8.4 downloadedfrom app store by bootable usb. every time i see a grey screen with circle and slash. also can not connect to internet reovery because all on air servers are busy and it takes 660 hour for reinstalling osx.
    what versiion of mac osx should i install ? the 10.8.4 in app store ?

    The App Store would not have 10.8.4.  It would have Mountain Lion (10.8).  You would then have to do a Software Update to receive 10.8.4.
    Anyway, yes, it sounds like that is the correct path for you.

    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.

    Yes.  I ran it successfully on Mountain Lion and had no problems when I upgraded to Mavericks.  Be sure to apply the latest software updates.

    Hey canozkurt,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with Continuity and Handoff. For help, check out this resource:
    Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite

    There are many reports like yours. Apparently there are bugs yet to be worked out in Handoff. Make sure you've taken all the steps directed in the support article linked below. If you have, restart the phone and try again. Failing that, you can either contact Apple Support, go to a "Genius Bar," or wait for an update to iOS and/or OS X.

  • I can't no more receive call on my MacBook Air 2013.

    I can't receive incoming call on my MacBook Air 2013.
    This mornig, when i'd upgraded my Mac all was fine and the incoming call were visible on screen.
    Now I can only make call from Mac, and also FaceTime works well, but I don't see incoming call.
    The change I made was to upgrade Java and VMware.
    Thank for attention.

    As has already been pointed out both iWeb and iDVD will not be pre-loaded, however, you can still purchase both iWeb and iDVD by going to the Apple Store online and purchasing the iLife 11 boxed set that does contains both iWeb 09 and iDVD.  You can get it from Amazon too.

  • Macbook Air 2013

    I just got myself a new Macbook Air 2013 and while I realized I couldn't expect the smoothest experience, I never expected this much hassle with it. So many differnet issues. No need to have a sad face about it, though - let's get together and figure out how to make this work! At least we only have one graphics chip to worry about this time around
    This is going to be a pretty long post but I figured it's good to have it all in one place. Please correct me if you think this is the wrong way to post these things.
    Installing and booting
    Booting from a normal 2013.6 USB key works fine, but I couldn't seem to get either GRUB or Syslinux working.
    I was able to boot by first installing Arch Linux following the Macbook guide at the wiki (having a separate FAT32 /boot partition). Skip the bootloader installation.
    Installing rEFInd from OS X (important!) and installing the EFI stub loader made me able to boot fine.
    Separate thread.
    Stability problems
    This is the big worry for me. Every now and then my system hangs for a brief moment and everything involving net or disk access just hangs there for a while and then it seems to work.
    So far it only seems to happen when I run something disk- or CPU-intensive. Also had an occassion when I couldn't start X and just got this repeating all over my screen:
    ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED
    ata1.00: cmd 61/08:f0:10:8c:c2/00:00:0b:00:00/40 tag 30 ncq 4096 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
    ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
    On the next attempt it worked fine.
    I did SMART short and long tests on my disk and they returned fine:
    smartctl -a
    There are some messages in my boot that indicate this could be disk and/or ACPI related.
    journalctl -b
    dmesg
    This was on a boot when my NIC was renamed from eth0 to wlp3s0 as noted under Wifi - this should hopefully not be a big deal to fix. Will update when I look more into it.
    uname -a:
    Linux temperance 3.9.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 20 22:45:32 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    WiFi
    WiFi does not work out of the box. Installing wireless-bcm43142-dkms from AUR made me able to connect to my network. I haven't been able to get it stable yet -interface name changes randomly between wlp3s0 and eth0 between reboots and I get disconnected from my network every 30 minutes or so. Disconnects seem to correlate somewhat with the freezes mentioned above.
    Separate thread.
    Touchpad
    Have only been able to get it to work like a one-button mouse using evdev for now. Looks like an upstream bug.

    Audio
    In order to get audio, I need to put the following in /etc/asound.conf:

    defaults.pcm.device 0
    defaults.ctl.card 1
    I'm no ALSA pro, but I can only seem to get output from the headphone jack so far - no speakers yet.

    While I'm using Ubuntu and not Arch, I wanted to chip in with my experiences.
    First, I am happy to tell you that I've found a fix for the ata errors/freezes (which for me were so bad I could hardly install) -- at least I think it's the same or related. I got udevd spitting errors about blkid timing out, and it couldn't find the disks. I found this in a Ubuntu forum -- sadly, I can't find the url now. Anyway, Pass
    libata.force=1:noncq
    to the linux kernel parameters (in Ubuntu you can add this to /etc/default/grub). This disables NCQ, which according to that post wasn't needed.
    YMMV and I am not certain that it doesn't have bad side effects, but for me it made the laptop usable.
    Other findings:
    My Fn key, and thus delete, page up/down, media keys etc didn't work. That's because the keyboard has a new device id which isn't in usbhid. I added entries like the existing apple keyboards with the new device id (05ac:0291) and after recompiling, it works. I'm pretty sure this is fixable by passing the correct "quirks" flags to the usbhid module, e.g. "quirks=0x05ac:0x0291:0x00001248", but I'm not sure which flags should be set (I have an ISO keyboard layout which is yet another flag).
    My sound card doesn't work. Or; i hear no sound at least ;-). After checking in alsamixer, it had two cards, one HDMI with S/PDIF only and one with analog in/out and digital in. I tried passing "index=1" to snd_hda_intel, which makes alsamixer pick up the right card by default. I'm not sure if the problem is that pulseaudio still has the wrong card, or something else.
    My wifi works after installing bcmwl from Saucy (i.e. the upcoming Ubuntu 13.10 release), which was a relief because I feared this not being supported.
    Sometimes after resuming from suspend, the screen is totally dark -- barely discernible in bright daylight. First I figured this was an issue with lightum (a daemon which monitors the lighting and adjusts keyboard and screen brightness), but after checking /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness it turns out that when this happens, only the brightness levels 13, 14, and 15 (which is the brightest) have any brighness at all. 12 and under means no backlight. The only "fix" I've found so far is rebooting, which sucks. I hope this will get fixed (I will report a bug on Launchpad next time it happens).
    Somewhere I picked up that passing
    i915.i915_enable_rc6=1
    to the linux parameters enables some great power saving features in the GPU. From modinfo:
    i915_enable_rc6:Enable power-saving render C-state 6. Different stages can be selected via bitmask values (0 = disable; 1 = enable rc6; 2 = enable deep rc6; 4 = enable deepest rc6). For example, 3 would enable rc6 and deep rc6, and 7 would enable everything. default: -1 (use per-chip default) (int)
    Oh, and if anybody knows how I get my GNU/Linux partition to show up in the Mac boot screen I would be grateful! Right now I have refit installed, which works but I would rather just use the built-in boot manager, which works on the predecessor (MBA 3,2).

    1. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.9 or later.
    2. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
    Enable Power Nap while on battery power
    3. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    4. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    5. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Why can't I update bootcamp software on my Macbook Air 2013?

    I'm running windows 8 on my 13" macbook air 2013. Apple sent me a notification of updated bootcamp support software and directions for installation. This web page included a list of the models that are supported by this software and mine is one of them. When I began installing this support software an error message said my computer model isn't supported. I called apple care and they told me it isn't their responsibility to supply windows drivers for people running bootcamp. This sounds fishy and completely wrong. Can someone help, please?

    Can you go back and post the web page and actual details (drivers, versions, etc)?
    Are you trying to update in Windows and from the Apple Software Update application? manually downloading in Windows? you can use either.
    Yes, very fishy. Use to be even worse I think with just how well they are ready to answer and help with Windows on Mac topic.
    Use to be the old support pages were to me easy to see and find updates and tech support articles but you can still try there for both your Mac, firmware and model specific, and for Boot Camp.
    Also when Mac OS X gets updated, often you download new drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant, too, a 3rd method.
    Wasn't clear which method was used.

    Not true. In Mac OS's Disk Utility, you can delete the Bootcamp partition then resize the Mac partition larger to use the free space.
    Gn12, if your mac keeps trying to boot to your Boot Camp partition, hold down the Option key as you boot so that you can select the Mac partition then use the Startup Disk preferences to select the Mac partition for future boots.
