MBA 1st Gen and Lion Performance

Hi,
Does anyone have experience on updating 1st Gen MBA to OSX Lion? How is performance feeling and memory consuption?
Mine have almoust 300mb RAM left and with Lion this should be worst. Correct?
Cheers, Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I recommend you to keep Snow Leopard, because if Snow Leopard consumes most of the RAM, Lion will consume more memory. Also, note that your MacBook Air has got soldered RAM, so it's impossible to increase RAM

MBA 1ST GEN AND MBA 2ND GEN

hey mates! im actually studying and reading all the reviews and feedbacks from this forums. and im just so excited to finally buy my new MBA in exchage from my IBOOKG4.
I normally uses the laptop for: Internet surfing, word and excel, and some downloads for songs then my ipod. oh dont forget the pictures.
Do u think the First Gen MBA is enough for me to survive? or i should consider the new one? bec its BOXING day ang the first gen MBa is on sale for only 800pounds.
please help me. i really dont know what to buy and what to consider. also, next year ill be taking my MAsters so this NEW MBA will be my primary Computer, FYI.
Do you think what should i CONSIDER? thanks alot mates! ill be waiting for your mssgs! cheers! happy christmas!

Hey thank you very much for the speedy reply to this post. Actually, im a bit worried of the first gen bec of the reviews ive read like the noise in the fan, the speedy heating of the unit and do u think it is also available in the second gen? and is there any difference on the second gen of 1.6ghz?
a mate gave me a present this christmas-Its a Civilization4 game for mac. do u think i can play a game on the first gen 1.6ghz and/or 2nd gen MBA? cant really afford the 1.8ghz second gen for its really too much for me.
Not really a techy person and this ibookg4 was actually ages in me and its memory is not really full up to date. heheehehe.
purely internet surfing (yahoo, YM, MSN, Google, FAcebook etc. and mostly some MS office apps and some Masters documents in the future.
Do u think that spending extra 471pounds for a second gen MBA 1.6ghz will make a tremendous difference? thank you verymuch for the time and knowledge your sharing. this really helps!

Can I use the same sync cord for my 1st Gen and 2nd Gen iPod?

I have to replace my sync cord (house fire) and I wondered if I could buy just one cord to sync both my iPods? I have a 1st Gen and a 2nd Gen.

If they both use the same type of cord, 30-pin or lightning, then yes, you can. There is no difference to the internals of the cords, just the connectors. Just match what you need.

I have ipod touch 1st gen and it will no longer detect that i have headphones in the headphone jack and so i cannot turn up my volume. Is there any way it can be fixed?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

how to unlock iphone 1st gen and it be like an ipod touch

To activate your phone, you need a SIM card from the carrier to whom it's locked. The SIM needn't be active, but it needs to be present, nonetheless.
There's no way around this step.

1st Gen and 2nd Gen - help me?

Ok so i'm confused here...
The 1st gen and 2nd gen iPod touches both have the same 128mb of RAM yes...
So why is it that the 1st gen is apparently incapable of running iOS 4?
Yes, i understand that multi-tasking, and wallpapers(?) are too memory-intensive for the devices with such a small amount of RAM.
But come on, surely something like folders isn't totally 100% impossible for the 1st gen??
I know that the second gen is running @ 121Hz faster than the first but i would've thought that folders require the use of the memory over the processor?

I make no judgements about whether these devices are iOS 4 capable or not. Nor do I offer an opinion about the policy of which devices do, and which do not, upgrade. Nevertheless, it is Apple's policy, and I unfortunately I don't think you're gonna get the answer you seek here... Sorry.
You could try a Genius Bar or AppleCare, but only if you seek a Monty Python-style ‘Argument Clinic’...

IPod Touch 1st Gen and 3.1 update DELETES volume slider

I had a perfectly working iPod Touch 1st Gen/16GB until I updated to 3.1 software. Now I do not have a volume slider.
Yes headphones are in but there is no place to adjust the volume. There is previous, next arrows and play and pause AND its centered in the rectangular area, but no volume slider.
I have restored it 3x in various ways. I have tried 5 times to downgrade the operating system but ALWAYS get an error, so it never completes. Of course the ipsw files where found using google because there isn't any links that work on Apple's site for previous iPhone software. If I try to restore to 3.1 right after that it goes through perfectly.
So it seems that Apple has locked out downgrading once you upgrade! All I want is my volume slider back. How can I get it back if 3.1 deletes it everytime and I can't go back to the previous operating system?
Thank you.

I too have had this exact same problem, except that I was running 3.0 and hadn't updated to 3.1. I put my ipod on the table overnight, after listening to it, and when I picked it up the next morning, theres no volume slider. I never even unplugged the headphones. Double clicking the home button while on the home screen would bring up the popup to skip songs, and there it says "Dock Connection" even though it not connected to a computer. Multiple reboots an no effect. I've tried different sets of headphones, to no effect. Its like the iPod isnt detecting them being plugged in. The worst part is i DO get sound in the headphones, but no volume control, and the sound level is turned really low. So the headphones ARE working.
I updated to 3.1 just now, and the problem has NOT been fixed. Theres no way anywhere in the settings to adjust the volume. Theres only a limit slider, so I have no way to turn up the volume loud enough to actually HEAR things.

Restored Ipod Nano 1st gen. and nike + icons do not appear in itunes 7.0.2

I have a ipod nano 1st gen. I recently purchased the nike+ reciever and shoes and they worked great. I had not problems installing the latest version of ipod software version 1.3.
On my latest run I got soaked and the nike+ receiver stopped working after the rain. Waited a day until it dried out and reconnected it to my ipod and it did not recognized the receiver.
I reset my ipod and it still did not recognized the receiver.
I restored my ipod and it ereased the nike+ icons from my ipod and itunes. I updated my windows software and reinstalled itunes 7.0.2 in my computer and still the nike+ icons do not appear in my itunes and the updates indicate that I have the lastest version of the itunes and ipod software.
What else can I do to reinstall the nike+ software in my ipod and itunes?

Hi

HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar). If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

AppleTV 1st Gen and new computer

How do I connect AppleTV 1st Gen to different computer than the original laptop that I synced with? The laptop has very little space left and I want to synch with larger desktop. Do I have to disconnect it from laptop some how? The desktop has seen AppleTV, but it won't let me sync anything.

Thanks for the reply! I copied the iTunes Music folder to a removeable drive so I don't lose any of the info before disconnecting with AppleTV.
It is always wise to have a backup of your itunes library media on external drive etc - you never know when you might have a hardware failure on a computer/AppleTV etc.
Disconnecting AppleTV from the laptop itunes will not delete the content in iTunes on the laptop, but will wipe media synced to AppleTV from iTunes.
The big thing to ensure is that any purchases of music/video etc you made directly on AppleTV have synced back to the sync (laptop) library - right click on the AppleTV in iTunes on the laptop and choose Transfer Purchases to check if unsure. In theory, things that haven't synced back should remain while stuff synced from the computer to AppleTV will go, but I don't fully trust it and best to ensure direct purchases are safe before disconnecting AppleTV.
The important point to get across is that AppleTV 1 does not operate like a backup of media - there is no simple or official way to recover media from it say your laptop iTunes hard drive failed.

need to put it on the desktop, can I just copy this into the iTunes Music folder on the desktop and it will now have all the appleTV stuff?
Don't do that (just copy into new itunes folder) as iTunes won't recognise the stuff you've copied in this way.
Either import to iTunes using iTunes' File>Add to Library and navigating to the iTunes media folder on the external or drag and drop this folder onto itunes to copy it over.
Another way to do this you might want to try is via Home Sharing - enable in iTunes on the laptop and desktop and this will allow the desktop iTunes to copy stuff over from the laptop - either all or selected content you choose form the Home Shared library icon - this will probably be slower than using the copy on the external drive, but is a good way to copy content from one machine to another across the network.
After adding your media to iTunes you need to go through the steps Winston and I outlined to change the sync computer entry on AppleTV under Settings>Computers.
