Whats the highest / latest OSX I can install on a Macbook Air 1,1 A1237?
Answer (7.5)
Thank you!
If I purchase a OSX Lion DVD install disk, will I have any problems with a clean install on a new HD?
(The reply link wouldn't work on my original post.)

Lion does not come on a DVD disk:

You should be able to install it on a new HDD with no difficulty so long as it is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)..
Ciao.

Macbook air A1237 short circuiting

I have just bought a macbook air A1237 the 13 inch screen - it was second hand and had a few problems.
First problem was once turned on it was show the restart screen and that would be a constant loop, managed to fix that problem so it starts and works properly
Second Problem - No battery, it wont hold charge - obvious fix replace the battery - need to do,
Third Problem - No sound, the tricky one.
The laptop had already been taken to a computer repair shop before i purchased the item - the shop is obvoiusly not competent enough to work on computers due to the fact they could not repair the restart problem (which took a non-computer techie less then 30 mins). and half of the screws from the device are missing - one on the case and all except one on the battery.
I searched around on the net for a fix for the audio and found a tutorial that said remove the sound ribbon and place it above the battery, so i did this and it worked, turned the machine off and screwed the case back together and no sound... removed the case and i had sound ?? screwed the case back on whilst turned on i had sound for 2-4 hours before it went off... Still only works when the device has no bottom on,
On anther note when i had the device with no bottom on i leaned over the machine and got a shock on my chin, didnt think anything of this due to the case being open, so screwed it all back together and thought f**k it, its a machine with no sound.
After talking to a friend who loves his apple products he mentioned that the device could be short circuiting, so i checked the electric shock on my chin again and i got one from the device and every now when using it i get one on my arm or hand??
So my question is - What could be causing the short and why is the device working properly apart from sound when short circuiting ??
Also i have downloaded OS lion - the machine is currently on OS X 10.6.8 and it will not let m upgrade? it starts the upgrade then just crashes ? any ideas?
Ps. Sorry for my spelling.

With the keyboard, if working correctly and marked as such, the "3" should also
have the "#" as an option using the Shift key. There are additional hidden keys
that these same buttons can provide, conditionally, with use of the "fn" function
key; this acts like a super-shift key in certain instances. Some keys on a main
external keyboard are condensed on a portable keyboard, & appear with 'fn'.
To tell what the keyboard can provide in various alternatives, you could find
and activate the Keyboard Viewer from within the System Preferences>
International> Input Menu. With 'visible in menu bar' activated, one can
more readily access it and the ability to tell what keys and shift, opt, etc
combinations, or the fn key, can make appear in documents or elsewhere.
The Keyboard Viewer opens into a small window on the desktop, so keys
that are pressed are highlighted on a tiny screen in there. You can also click
on the tiny keys in there to make them work in a document.
Notice the choices in the Input Menu section, as you can set it so Character
Palette and Keyboard Viewer both appear under the Flag icon in main Menu
bar in the Finder or main desktop. Saves having to open Sys Prefs to see it.
Some of the user interface points of reference change over time or between
versions of OS X. So do some names of things, esp with Mt Lion/Mav. In a
way it's good all older Intel-Macs can't run Mavericks 10.9.2. Less trouble.
Other part sources?

Anyway, hopefully some of this helps a bit.
Good luck & happy computing!

My MacBook Air has OSX Version 10.9 and suddenly I can no longer access iPhoto including all my photos on my computer. I have tried to update iphote but the message says I signed on with a different password and I can't update.

My MacBook Air has OSX Version 10.9 and suddenly I can no longer access iPhoto. THe message says, 'You can't use this version of the applicaitonn iPhot with this version of OS X. You have iphoto 9.3.2." When I try to update iPhoto, I get a message saying I signed in with a different apple ID and password. This all happened about the same time I got a new iphone. The iPhoto icon has a circle with a line through it.

I'm trying to use my older Acrobat 4 for printing files from an older Macintosh with system 9, so that I can store and use the pdf documents in a newer MacBook Air, with OSX 10.9. Acrobat 4 worked previously but no longer works. Any way to fix it?

I am trying to transfer older files from a Mac PowerBook G4, running system 9, printing those documents as pdf, using Acrobat 4. Then those pdf documents will transfer to my newer MacBook Air, running OSX 10, allowing me to store and use them. My problem is that Acrobat 4 no longer seems to work on the old Mac, and I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

Hi,
Had similar issue with the same model. It works with power adapter plugged in, but not with battery alone.
You need to get the battery replaced.

What the last OS X to macbook air A1237 ?

What the last OS X to macbook air A1237 ?

10.7.5 is that last installable version.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor

My friend have new Macbook Air with OSX Mavericks and I have Macbook Pro with OSX Mountain Lion, Can I create a bootable maverick in pendrive from macbook air and perform a clean installation/update on my macbook pro with osx mountain lion?

I have late 2012 edition Macbook Pro, I have a internet connection with does not run smoothly It gets disconnected and reconnects Thus I failed everytime when I update my OSX Mountain Lion to Mavericks in App Store. My friend just bought 2013 end Macbook Air whicch have OSX Mavericks pre installed.
I was hoping if I can create a OS X version in pendrive from his laptop and use that to install and thuss also update OS on my Mountain Lion.
Kindly explain me in detail how to perform this.
I have already taken back up of all files and I am ready to total clean my laptop.
And I want to update to Maverick so I can thus further update to upcoming OS X Yosemite.

The Mavericks on the Air is probably machine specific since it came pre-installed, so it wouldn't work on your computer. See if your friend will let you access the App Store, where you can sign in using your Apple ID and download the installer. You can use this free program to copy the installer and update your computer.

Kernel Panic - invalid backlight duty cycle - after upgrade from 10.5.2 on macbook air A1237

Here is the short version. I bought an older orignial Macbook Air Model A1237. The hinges had been damaged, and the screen would not display correctly - it had lines all across it and you could not see what you were doing. Anyway - I replaced the screen, hard drive, logic board, upper case, pretty much everything in sucession in an effort to get the MBA up and running again and get rid of the kernel panic I keep getting, all Apple replacement OEM parts. I bought a replacement screen - making sure I checked compatibility etc.. but when it started up I felt great perfect view - all was good - then it kernel paniced. I finally figured out that if I turned up the backlight manually all the way to max or if the ambient sensor made the backlight go to max - these were the only time I get a panic. Otherwise it runs perfeclty. The odd thing is I bought the original MBA disc that would have came with the MBA brand new - and if I wipe the hard drive and install leopard 10.5.2 from the dics and do not update anything - it works 100% perfectly no kernel panic at all. If I updgrade beyond the 10.5.2 I get the panic back. So that tells me its not the hardware, and I have confirmed the hardware and firmware are all up to date, as I was hoping it would be that easy a fix of updating the firmware. I have tried everything - googled everything - I am at the end of my rope on this one - please help.
In addition to all the repair work - i have tried test user, upgrading to snow leopard and lion, taking to the apple store, everything I can do , with no solid answer - the apple store told me it was hardware. But if it was then 10.5.2 should generate the panic as well. There are lots of articles and posts on other forums on this very issue - usually surrounding having the MBA display repaired and then they started getting the panics thereafter - but no one has ever recieved an answer either at all, or that works.
Here is the KP log below - please let me know your thoughts - id like to upgrade to lion to get the most out of the MBA - any help is appreciated - - - - - heres the log - - - - ( the reason the BSD states at loginwindow is the ambient sensor at that time kicks in and creates the panic ):

So I found a post on a random forum that offered a fix that I have tried and it worked. Background: I had a cracked LCD screen on a A1237, and I replaced a new screen and a battery. I started getting kernel panics when the brightness went to the highest level. Anyways, what you do is you need to get this file from a apple os x 10.5:
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext
then:
Install the .kext file you just grabbed by dragging it into Kext Utility (which can be downloaded here: http://cvad-mac.narod.ru/index/0-4)
then:
Shut down the machine. Reset SMC and PRAM (SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964, PRAM:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
and the problem is fixed. If you google a bit, you can find an os x 10.5.2 AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext file at to use.
The original fix I found was posted here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=880800
Edit:
Just to clarify, my mac book air is running snow leopard 10.6.8, and I inserted the file from a 10.5.2. The fix completely eliminated the problem, now I can turn the brightness to max without the kernel panic.

I have a macbook air with osx 10.6.8 and it has a 1.4 GHz intel core duo processor and 2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. I want to use icloud but am afraid buying the version of osx that is required will bog my computer speed down, or change the user inerface. I

I am not computer savy and like my macbook air because as a college student, and father that is very busy, I don't have to learn to re-use it every month after it crashes from a virus. Am I able to load the new version of osx that icloud requires onto this computer without changing it substantially or slowing it down?

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Does iWork 08 work on Macbook Air latest OSX ?

Hi
The forst time ever I own and use Mac OS. I just purchased Macbook air and will buy iWork soon.
Will iWork 08 work on the latest OSX?
Is there any Note taking program that is cheaper and can replace keynote?
Thanks

iWork 08 does work on Lion. Remember that you have to do the software updates before using it.
Keynote is not a note taking program. It is a presentation program like Power Point on Windows.
http://www.circusponies.com/ has an application called NoteBook. It might suite you.

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
