Macbookpro or Macbook air

Is apple coming out with a new version for Macbook Pro MD101HN/A ? what should i go for Macbook Pro or Macbook air ? My usage are basic mainy internet , word , excel , powerpoint etc.
Can i upgrade Macbook Pro MD101HN/A to Mavericks and other new s/w 's ?

souvikfromKolkata,
yes, it can be upgraded to Mavericks. Whether you can upgrade other software packages will probably depend more upon which version of OS X you have installed than the particular hardware model.

  • I've just migrated from MacbookPro to Macbook air and Creative cloud wont install

    I deactivated my MBP after the migration.
    The MBA asks to download application manager, which it does and when I open to install it. It starts installing then a popup says get Creative Cloud and around the cicle goes

    Do you mean you used Apple's migration tool?
    If yes, I have read several recent message that it does not work for Cloud programs

  • Iphoto transfer from timemachine macbookpro data to new macbook air?

    Hi Folks.
    I have an external HD with Timemachine saved data from my 2011 Macbook Pro which I recently sold.  I now have the brand new Macbook Air 11.6 inches and, on opening Timemachine and searching my external hard drive I am unable to find my iphoto photos that were saved onto the timemachine external drive from my old macbookpro.  All my other documents from my macbook pro are available on the external drive, including all my photos that were not saved on iphoto.  However, all the iphoto pictures from the last 2 years, family pics, holidays photos etc etc seem to have completely vanished!  What has happened??How do I find them and install them onto my new macbook air??  Very puzzled and highly traumatised!

    Here is the route I did:  Finder > time machine backups > My Macbook Pro folder > Chose a folder from a date from when I had the macbook pro and photos should be there > macintosh HD for that date > Users > My name folder > Pictures > iphoto Library icon >
    This this message appears:
    "The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library".
    Correct.  When you click the iPhoto Library via the Finder, it tries to open it with the iPhoto app.  But you cannot open backups with an app.  You must Resrore that iPhoto Library somewhere to use it.
    Which I do.  Which then gives me one library option - iphoto.  When I click to open, iphoto does open, but only with the new macbook air uploaded photos.  My 2 years of photos of my macbook pro iphoto do not appear.
    Also correct. It's opening the one you chose, not the one in the backups (you can't choose that one).
    Really confusing for me.  How can I open a file from March 2013 and have only August 2013 pictures in there from my new computer.
    Again, you must restore the backup copy somewhere, then open the restored copy.
    Try this:  Point the Finder to your computer (open a Finder window and either select your computer in the sidebar or press Shift+Cmd+C).    Then Enter Time Machine.  Do not select anything in the Finder window yet, but select a backup in the TimeLine that was made on the MBP.  That should not be grayed out, and you should be abel to select it.
    Then navigate to your home folder (inside the /Users folder) and the iPhoto library.  Do not click the usual Restore button at the lower right.  Instead, select the iPhoto Library, control-click, choose the Restore iPhoto Library to... option, and choose an alternate location, such as your Desktop (not the location of your existing MBA iPhoto Library).
    That will restore the MBP's iPhoto Library to your Desktop, and you should be able to open it with the iPhoto app (by starting iPhoto with the Alt/Option key as above).

    Hi,
    The Mac version will use your Apple ID as the first and only choice...
    ... Until you add the same Apple ID to Messages on the iPhone.
    Once this is done it is best to Restart the app on the Mac.
    This will then get at least one, possibly two pop up saying the iPhone in using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number.
    Accepting these Pop ups will enable the iPhone as an ID to be used in the Receive At List.
    It will also appear in the drop down at the bottom for "Start New Conversations from"
    If you did not set iyt up like this then remove the apple ID from the iPhone in the Settings > Messages.
    Place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.
    Take it out of Airplane Mode and re-add the Apple ID in the Messages settings.
    Then Restart the app on the Mac as above.
    Having done this you can still turn Off the Apple ID on the iPhone (receive as the iPhone number only) or disable the iPhone Number on the Mac (receive Apple ID stuff only)
    The Start New Conversations option on the Mac version means you could use the iPhone number so people don't get your email.

  • I am trying to make and receive calls on my Macbook Air. I am getting an error message when setting up up my Mac to make calls on FaceTime.  Has anyone encountered this?

    I am trying to setup my Macbook Air to make & receive calls but I am getting an error message stating "FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls" when selecting the box to turn on iPhone cellular calls on my Mac.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  I am signed into iCloud, FaceTime, & Messages with the same Apple ID.  Is anyone encountering this?

    Hi,
    The Same Network is only needed for the Text Forwarding part of the Messages app on both and the iMessages account's Text Forwarding.
    I understand Blue Tooth is On but have your paired the two devices for Handoff and Continuity ?
    I cannot do this bit on my Mid 2011 iMac so I am a bit lost as to the actual settings.

  • HT5395 why can't i use my imessage on my macbook air

    I'm trying to imessage someone from my macbook air to their iphone. but it said i am unavaliable?? why can't i send imessages anymore???

    Hi,
    The iMessages account in Messages does not list itself as Unavailable.
    AIM, Jabber and Yahoo accounts via their Buddy lists (if shown separately) or the combined List can show as Off line.
    The iMessages Account seems to presume the computer will be on all the time and be connected to a Network continually like an iPhone is.
    It does not indicate when a Contact is Off Line or Unavailable until you try to send an iMessage when it might pop up an alert to say it was not delivered.  (Most likely when a iPhone has lost a Cell/Mobile service coverage as well as WiFi).
    Can you explain what you are seeing and where ?

  • Is it okay to charge macbook air while playing a game and it is hot?

    I use my macbook air for aging. Is it okay to charge it while I'm playing a game. It was really hot when I was charging it. Will it affect it any?

    It is all right to charge your MBA any time you are using it, hot or not. See these authoritative article regarding Apple batteries for additional guidance:

  • Want to move iLife '11 from my new MacBook Air to my old MacBook Pro

    I received my new laptop the MacBook Air with min config and with the minimum performance and capacity I intend to remove iLife 11' from it and look into other means to slim down the footprint of the default installation.
    Now am I at right to install this iLife 11 onto my old MacBookPro which is being decommissioned to a deskjob? So it remains a single installation in essence (I won't be doing any photo and video editing on the MBA) If so how would I go about it?
    Thanks

    My wife bought a MacBook Pro and I believe paid extra for the Ilife 11,
    She didn't. It's included in the price.
    see that It resides on a disk labeled MacBook Pro Applications Install DVD.
    Correct. These disks are specific to the model on the label.
    Does this not also have a 5 user license?
    No, why would you expect it to?
    Am I needing then to buy a new 5 license Ilife 11?
    No. You could simply purchase the app you want on the app store.
    need Iweb for editing my website
    There is no change in the version of iWeb with iLife 11.

  • How do I stop getting text messages on my macbook air

    How do I stop getting text messages on my MacBook Air?

    Hi,
    The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.
    Open the Messages app and go to the Preferences (In the drop down Menu in the Apps name in the Menu Bar)
    In the Preferences select the Accounts tab.
    Select the iMessages account  if it is not selected.
    Untick the iPhone Number to stop iMessages sent to your iPhone Number appearing on your Mac.
    Also go to the General section of the Preferences.
    There is an items that reads "When I quit, set the Status to Off Line"  select this.
    This will stop any incoming Messages (from any source that Messages can join) from launching to app when you have not started it but your Computer is On.
    You may also want to go to your iPhone Settings and remove the Apple ID.

  • Can't use ch340g serial port driver since upgrading to Yosemite on MacBook air

    I use my MacBook air with the Arduino 1.0.6 IDE. Since upgrading ( free upgrade) to Yosemite. I can no longer acess the ch340g serial port. (does not show up in arduino ide). I tried re-installing the driver. I get no errors and am told the install was successful. This was working very nicely before the upgrade. I now have three boards I cannot use. I am at a loss as to what I should do.  I suppose I could go back to Maverick but then I would have to go buy the operating system. This seems wrong to me. I was offered an upgrade that then leaves me up the creek without a paddle. Any help given would be highly appreciated.

    I have the same problem, a non stable CM341 serial to tty driver on Yosemity on a MacbookPro Retina.
    I followed the advice of Rsattaur, I executed the command: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"  and now I have big problems with my USB-ports.
    The result is a screen-of-death after connecting anything to my USB-ports!!!!

  • IMessage on my macbook air will not connect.

    iMessage on my macbook air will not connect. It says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have gone through all the support instructions and a lot of these discussion chats. I have sign out of it and my phone and resigned in. I have checked that everything is verified and connected. My ios is up to date on both my computer and phone. It worked fine until about a week ago and suddenly it stopped
    Thank you for your assistance!

    Hi,
    In Hard Drive/Library/Fonts  do you have the AppleGothic.ttf  Font.
    The iMessages account uses this to "register".
    If the computer has been Off then the App effectively "registers" the Apple ID again.
    It cannot do this is the Font is "missing".
    The thread I saw that highlighted this as an  issues said the font could be downloaded from Apple  but not the "how" of that.

  • How powerful/fast is the MacBook Air 13inch pls?

    Hello everyone, I have had a 17inch MacBook Pro for about 6 years, its a great machine but it's too big and bulky to be very portable. I go away a lot for long weekend or train journyes to see friends and wanted a lightweight portable 'sketch book' to start idea in logic/ableton/photoshop etc while I was travelling and would then bring them back to finish/carry on on an iMac which I will get next year after saving for a bit.
    So I bought a 13 inch MacbookPro, which is a great little machine but after only a week I am wondering if it's still a bit too heavy/thick for my needs. I am away now and it took up quite a lot in my ruckack and then I had to walk a couple a miles to the hostel and it go pretty heavy with all my other stuff. So I am wondering if I might return it and get an Air, but worry that it may not be the greatest at running these programs. Does anyone use it for such things or had any experience please? As I say I wont be tracking a whole orhcestra or choir just bacically for getting up ideas running/watching films/net etc
    Thanks very much for all help.
    PS My old MacBook Pro was 2.6 core 2 duo 4GB ram and seemed to run everything fine. Is the new i5 much better?

    Hi Ian.id,
    A couple of tips to maximize your shopping research.
    1.) Apple Support Communities is an awesome resource for getting quick tech tips and help from a community of individuals who either work in the business, are enthusiasts or generally like to share their knowledge and experiences with others. While we all like to provide correct and accurate information that doesn't always happen (we're all human, after all) but the good news is that often times there's enough relevant data in these forums to where you can get pointed in the right direction or find your answer in another topic discussion.
    2.) I'd rank these hardware communities as "ok" (at best) to get a thorough response to specific use cases. For example, with a Logic question you'd be better to ask this in the forums designed for Logic discussions. That forum is here -
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications
    While I realize your question(s) are about the MacBook Air, ultimately the majority of topics in the machine-specific forums are about hardware/software troubleshooting. That's not to say you can't ask here and there (a lot of people will triple or even quad post) to increase visibility. It's no secret that each sub-community has their regulars.
    3.) As Ableton is not an Apple product you're not going to get the visibility you're probably after here. What are the odds that someone who uses Ableton on a MacBook Air will see your thread and then actually response in a helpful manner? I'd say it's low. I'd recommend going through Ableton's support community channel which appears to be here -
    https://www.ableton.com/answers
    4.) Lastly, do you have any music software forums or community sites you frequent? I find those profession-specific forums are usually MUCH better for hardware discussion versus profession-specific discussions in a hardware forum.
    Good Luck!
