MacBook Air Thunderbolt shipped without System Restore USB key

I just received my new 13" MBA 2011 Thunderbolt and it doesn't come with a System Restore USB key. Anyone else?
I know Lion has a System Restore partition, but that doesn't help if I'm planning on upgrading the SSD with one of these:

You can always make your own, by following instructions like these:

And apparently Apple will be selling USB keys with Lion on them in a month or two.

    Why my MacBook Air keeps hanging on System Preferences and Settings whenever I attempt to open it ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
     Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Macbook air turned off without warning?

    Hi! Last night my macbook air turned off without warning and wouldn't turn back on until I tried again this morning. A few weeks ago I had my battery and logic board replaced and since then it the screen has gone blue for a few seconds and then back to normal a few times, (in case this is related at all). Is there something I should do to make sure this doesn't happen again.

    As you say it is just been repaired I would take it back to the place that repaired it and ask them to look at it.

    Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.

  • Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

    Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?

    I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
    If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

  • Resotoring Macbook Air Model A1237 without USB

    Hello, I need assistance restoring my MacBook Air Model A1237 back to factory settings. It's a 2008 model and unfortunitely i've misplaced my USB retore drive. Can I please have assistance restoring my laptop without the USB? Thank you in advance!
    Alex

    That's not possible. Phone AppleCare and order a replacement; if you have an external SuperDrive and don't need iLife or the Apple Hardware Test, you can use a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD instead.

  • Restoring MacBook Pro WITHOUT System Restore CD?

    Hello, I'm wondering how to restore my MacBook Pro to it's factory settings without the Restore CD/DVD. I have moved many times since I brought my laptop and subsequently have misplaced the CDs, I only have the OS X Leopard Install CD which I got some time ago.
    How can I do this? Can Apple provide me with these restore CDs??
    Thanks!
    Will

    Can Apple provide me with these restore CDs??
    Unless it is too old, calling AppleCare can usually get those CDs. There will usually be a fee for them.
    Your Leopard installer disc will only work on MacBook Pros older than the disc, and that's assuming it looks like * and does not say DropIn, OEM, or Upgrade.
    iLife prebundled with Leopard is limited:

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem on my Macbook Pro. I only get the issue at home. I use a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter as well as an external thunderbolt display. I actually bought the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter as a replacement for a non-Apple Sitecom USB 3 to ethernet in order to get rid of the random crashes. It did not help! Here is the report:

  • New Macbook Air transferred by Time Machine Backup USB--fan/temps

    Hello,
    I just got the last version of the macbook air, with 120HDD and 1.86 cpu. I thought that I would have to try to transfer everything from my Imac 27" through wifi transfer but when I started up the macbook air it asked if I had a time machine backup I would like to use through USB (which I have used many times before to basically transfer all my data, applications, and settings.) It took a while and the macbook air's fans kicked in during the transfer, which is from the Imac with snow leopard. total transfer was around 45gb. I thought this type of transfer wasn't possible. I also did a long software update after the transfer.
    MY QUESTION: could any of this account for the macbook air running hot now, fan at about 6200rpm. I am in Paris and it is very hot here now, so maybe this accounts for it. I'll see in the morning. I am just wondering if the machine will run hot now because perhaps because of the type of transfer I executed, which might have included programs or apps not directly related to the macbook air itself. Again, we are in a heat wave here so perhaps this contributes to it. Don't these machines run rather quietly?
    any advice would be appreciated. I could always start again, do a reinstall, etc. but except for the fans running, I have everything I need on the machine and would really prefer not buying the external dvd ir starting over again.
    Thanks

    I learned that the macbook air shipped with Leopard, but after migrating everything over from my Imac 27" with Snow Leopard, my system now on the Macbook Air is exactly what I have on the Imac. After the initial backup from Time Machine I did a software update, which brought the system up to 10.6.4. I suppose on some level part of one system did transfer over to the Macbook Air, or at least it updated the system that was shipped on the Air. I did call Apple and was told that if there were issues during the Time Machine backup the system would have alerted or panics would have occurred. The guy wasn't 100% sure, but felt that the backup went normally.
    The Air seems to work fine, but the fans kick up from the base of 2500rpm when I watch a video or download video files for a few minutes as an experiment. I don't want to do a complete re-install with the original DVD discs, with all of the trouble that implies, if the machine is going to run rather hot with fans increasing in any case. I suppose that's why I am looking for confirmation one way or another.
    It was suggested that I log out and open another account empty of data and see if that makes a difference.
    If the machine will run cooler with a re-install, no problem. But it sounds as if all of that could be for naught.
    Any other comments would be appreciated.

  • Macbook Air thunderbolt ethernet not working after 10.8.3 update

    Hi,
    Thunderbolt Ethernet for my Macbook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012) stopped working after installing 10.8.3 update.  I am unable to conect to my router via thunderbolt Ethernet connection port.
    Anyone else having the same issue? Any recommendations?

    Unplug your thunderbolt adapter.  Restart the router.
    Go to your Mac and go to System Preferences >> Network
    Use the - button in the lower left corner to delete your Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter. 
    Now plug your thunderbolt adapter back in and use the + button to add "Ethernet Thunderbolt" to your list of connections.  Move it back up in the order of network preference you want.
    Your network access should now be reset. 

  • MacBook Air + Thunderbolt-Firewire Adapter + LaCie FW800 Drive = Freeze

    I recently bought a new MacBook Air 13" including the TB-to-FW800 adapter from Apple. I own an older external LaCie FireWire 800 drive I want to use with.
    From time to time (i.e. not always) when I connect the LaCie drive to the MacBook Air, OS X 10.8.2 freezes completely so that I have to hard reset it. Seems that someone here has a similar problem:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1419956
    Is there any solution available?
    Thanks!

    The only time my system freezes is if I try to boot with the thunderbolt/firewire drive connected.
    I have had no problem connecting the drive after boot has been completed.
    Which reminds me I need to retest now that I am at 10.8.2.

  • Macbook Air: Problem to install a Ethernet USB  (model A1277)

    Problem to install a USB Ethernet Model A1277 to MacBook Air (release 10.7.2)

    I ended up taking my Air to the Genius Bar to get it fixed. The tech deleted the /System/Library/<something> which forces a rebuild upon reboot. That didn't fix it.
    Reinstalling Lion from the recovery partition did fix the issue.  There are other threads on this topic in the forums.

  • How do I discharge (calibrate?) my Macbook Air (Mid 2013) without harming the battery?

    I just got the latest MacBook Air this week. And after reading the discussion here https://discussions.apple.com/message/22294118#22294118 I chose not to calibrate it the first time since it shouldn`t be necessary with lithium-based batteries.
    The thing that still confuses me about the calibration issue with the Macbook Air (Mid 2013) is the text I`ve underlined below from Apples page and where they are talking about lithium-based batteries:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    "Standard Maintenance
    For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop’s iCal. When your battery no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs, you may choose to replace it. If your notebook came with a built-in battery, you should have the battery replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider."
    So when Apple is talking about discharging, how should I actually discharge it? If discharging a lithium-based battery completely is harmful for the battery life, then what is the ideal way to do this without harming the battery? How should I discharge my battery when the calender says it`s time?

    Calibration is not needed for "built-in" -non-removable- battery.
    "Portables with built-in batteries
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider."
