Macbook storage upgrade??

i wont to upgrade from 64 gb to something higher!! is it possible,  how much would it cost, and how would i reinstall os x 10.7.2 (lion) thanks

Yes you can.
The type and size avaialble depends on the model of your MBA. I have here a link to a company that sells upgrade solutions for a the model MBA's.
The  easiest way to transfer your existing installation is to clone the existing drive to the new one, using an app like Carbon Copy Cloner. You can also reinstall the OS from scratch Again the process depends on your model). The current edition MacBoo Airs can use Internet Recovery, not needing any external media.
If you already have Lion on your exsting machine, you would use Recovery Assistant to create a bootable drive to begin the reinstall of Lion.

  • Can you purchase a Macbook with upgrades in an apple retail store?

    Hey guys, sorry but it just wouldn't show up in google..
    I'm planning to make the big switch from windows to mac soon and I was planning to purchase the top-spec 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina.
    I am planning to get the 1TB flash storage upgrade and I was wondering if I could purchase the Macbook with the 1TB upgrade in a retail store.
    Do Apple Retail Stores provide top spec 15-inch Macbook Pro Retinas with upgrades in retail stores?

    Would you know if there are any in Tokyo, Japan?
    I'm going there tomorrow and I really can't wait to change my laptop. I was hoping to be able to purchase it there. It's just that it's going to be my first time
    there and I don't know if they would have it available for me
    This helped a lot tho, thank you!

  • HT201318 How do I get a refund for iCloud storage upgrade

    How do I get a refund for iCloud storage upgrade? I just purchased the icloud storage today but do not need it. It says you can get a refund within 15 days but I can't seem to find a number to get refund.

    See Roger Wilmut1's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4491639?tstart=0.

  • Keep getting an email that says I need to upgrade to a larger iCloud by september 30, 2013. But I have upgraded already. "Your complimentary iCloud storage upgrade expires on September 30, 2013."

    I keep getting messages that indicate that I will lose my 20 GB complimentary storage. "Your complimentary iCloud storage upgrade expires on September 30, 2013."
    When I go to my icloud settings - it shows that I am on the 20GB plan for $40.
    What gives?

    If you have purchased additional space that will have over-ridden the complimentary storage you had and will run until renewal a year from when you purchased it. You've received an automated email which hasn't recognized that you have purchased the storage: ignore it.

  • Can you get your storage upgraded on an iTouch?

    I've recently run out of space on my 8GB iPod Touch because I've been expanding my music, and I was wondering if I could go to an Apple store to have my storage upgraded, or if I would have to buy a completely new Ipod.

    There is no HD in the iPod touch. It uses flash memory and it is not upgradable.

    If you're tech savvy and know how to take it apart and put in a new HD and get the OS on it then yes
    However, parts are pretty exspensive and all kinds of things could possibly go wrong so I'd just suggest purchasing a new device.

    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

  • HT201318 i live in Turkey. i want to cancel the storage upgrade that i have purchased only one week ago. i know that in 15 days it is my right to cancel and to get the payment refund. but  i don't know where to apply? i can not contact anywhere via email

    i do not know where/how to apply for cancellation of a recently made storage purchase and get the payback. any help for apple contact information (about icloud) is appreciated.

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade but only within 15 days of buying:
    Apple seem to have made this as difficult as possible. You may be able to do this using http://expresslane.apple.com - Click on 'More products and services', then 'iCloud', 'Account and setup' then 'This topic is not listed'. Explain the situation in the box provided and wait for a response - include a phone number. However you may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.
    In that event you will need to phone them directly, using the Apple Online Store number given at the bottom of this page. The first person you speak to may tell you to do it from the iCloud website but this is not possible. Politely insist on escalating the issue to a more senior person and eventually you should be able to get through to someone who can deal with this (you may have to wait for them to call you back) - you will be asked security questions and for part of your credit card number to identify yourself.
    (If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see

  • Comformation of Core Duo-based MacBook/Macbook Pro Upgrade 'N' path

    In an attempt to shorten these threads concerning MacBook/Macbook Pro Upgrade 'N' path using Apple's (AirPort Extreme Upgrade Kit **NEW** Model BCM94321MC) Part #'s MA688Z/B or MA688Z/A (The only difference between the two part numbers appears to be that Part # MA688Z/B come with the new Airport Extreme Base Station installation CD which includes the 'n' enabler.
    Both these cards have been proven to work in both MacBooks. While some have had trouble with the /A card it CLEARLY appears to be a preferences problem. (just repair the preferences prior to installing the card)
    Both cards require the Program Pacifist to install the enabler.
    Pacifist is a small program that opens up .pkg installer packages and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package (for example, if you deleted Sherlock and need to reinstall it, but not the whole operating system), if you experience bugs in Installer.app that mess up your symbolic links, or if you just like a little more control over the installation process.
    It can be downloaded free here. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6812
    Open the enabler trough pacifist and click install. The program will place the items where they should be.
    Please post your results with these cards!!!!!!

    Here is my step by step MacBook Pro Core Duo 802.11n upgrade guide...
    http://xlr8yourmac.com/systems/macbookprowireless_N_upgrade/macbookpro_N_cardinstall.html#storytop
    The only correction I would make to this is, the stainless tension bars at the top left of the Airport card should not be screwed directly into the card itself, but into the single screw hole directly above the card on the left side with the tension arms angeled down toward the card thereby actually holding the card in place via the tension or presure exerted. The two additional screws that come with the replacement card are not needed if you had and original card in place. There should not be any screws directly holding the card in place. The tension springs arms are only there to hold the card flat. If left as in your photo there could be some inadvertant arcing of static elec. transmitted to the card. THIS only applies to the MacBook Pro as the MAcBook requires being attached by two screws!!!!
    /B Card: MacBook Pro--Courtesy of me: Same installeation as above,
    I have now tried both of the different suggestions of getting internal 802.11n on an original MacBook Pro described on this forum.
    1.) Dell internal 1500 Broadcom pci mini express card (Card Model # BCM94321MC), and
    2.) Apple Pro’s internal (AirPort Extreme Upgrade Kit **NEW** Model BCM94321MC) New Part # MA688Z/B*
    As you can see, both cards contain the same model numbers and incidentally, both only have ‘TWO’ antenna post and fit into the same space the existing PCI mini ‘G’ airport card held. Each installation took less than 20 minutes. Of course the second one took less time than the first.
    I ordered the Dell card ($38 ebay) prior to learning about the Apple Pro card (Apple Store $43), however, both cards worked, performed, connected and were recognized equally well by the new ‘N’ AEBS. Both needed Pacifist for installation of the ‘N’ Enabler. Both cards show connection speeds at 130 in a mixed g/n environment, which appears normal per other post. Both cards performed identically with the new AEBS, except for the speed, as the original Apple 802.11 a/b/g card they replaced.
    I referred to both the http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/85.0.0.html and www.xlr8yourmac.com/ instructions for the disassembly of my MacBook Pro.

    Jean-Paul,
    You know the way I took out my AE card is the exact way I installed it. Do have a picture of the completed install you did?
    I was soooo careful when I performed this task. Is your MacBook Pro a 17"?
    That's what mine is. I am sure that is the difference between the two. I have the 15.2" Service Manual and I see the bracket is completly different then the 17".

  • How to cancel iCloud storage upgrade over email with Apple?

    I got an iCloud storage upgrade yesterday and would like to cancel it. I do not wish to pay every month for something I dont need. How do I cancel it over email if possible? I have an IOS 8.2. I want to downgrade to the 5 free GB. I purchased the 20 a month. I have only used 4 GB so I should be able to downgrade.

    Never mind I found a page that showed me how to do it.

  • ICloud Storage Upgrades: Auto-renewal options

    Is there a specific control option for determining whether or not an iCloud Storage upgrade plan automatically renews or not?  From this article iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support it seems to suggest that if you simply do nothing and leave it alone, it will auto renew each month, but if you cancel your plan, it downgrades on the renewal date.  I seem to remember that there used to be a 'Auto-Renew' option in the Manage Storage Plan screen.
    Am I remembering wrong?  Was there ever an auto-renew option for iCloud storage?  I know about auto-renewing subscriptions from the App Store, so that's different of course.

    It is set to autorenew automatically, unless you specify otherwise:
    iCloud: Downgrade your iCloud storage
    iCloud: Cancel your storage upgrade
