New macbook air didn't come with Mavericks?

I ordered a MBA last week from the apple store and received it today -ordered it with additional RAM.  I am surprised it didn't come with Mavericks installed since the version of the OS was released last month.  Anyone know a reason for this?

There are a few people getting such machines, they can do it for you at the Apple store if you need help, its free regardless.
As for "new old stock" , we are talking about something thats only a few weeks old as "old stock without mavericks".

    If you need one you can buy Apple's USB SuperDrive or purchase a third-party product. Check out OWC.

  • Does MacBook Air 6,2 come with OS X Mavericks?

    I bought a MacBook Air a few days ago. Yesterday I was browsing through the App Store, and I saw "OS X Mavericks"...so I installed it thinking its an improvement on the system or something of that sort. However, after I'm done installing, I realized that basically nothing changed...so I thought that maybe MacBook Air 6,2 comes with it and I just installed it again...
    Does anyone know whether MacBook Air 6,2 comes with OS X Mavericks?
    And should I somehow uninstall it since it takes a lot of storage?

    So I basically installed OS X Mavericks again when it is already installed?
    How can I uninstall the OS X Mavericks I installed afterwards without uninstalling the OS X Mavericks that came with the MacBook then?
    When you installed it again the original copy was replaced, you still only have 1 copy. There is nothing to remove.

  • My Macbook pro didn't come with any restore disks, How can I make some?

    I was just curious, Macs and Macbooks used to include restore disks. My new Macbook Pro did not come with any so how do I create a set?

    Though these instructions are for Mt. Lion, they will work for Mavericks as well.  Making one one of these will free you from depending upon Apple servers if the need should arise.

  • My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

    any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore?  It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

    iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

  • My MacBook Pro didn't come with a recovery CD and recovery HD will not show up

    My MacBook Pro didn't come with a recovery CD and recovery HD will not show up

    if you're running Snow Leopard - there there will be no recovery partition - only Lion and Mountain Lion has that.
    did you buy your Macbook used?
    you can call Apple to order the original install DVD for your Macbook or you can order Snow Leopard for $20.

  • Is there a reason why my macbook pro didn't come with a disc?

    Is there a reason why my macbook pro didn't come with a disc?

    If you just bought it and it came with Lion then you don't get a DVD. Instead what they have done is created a Recovery Partition on the drive that serves the same function.

  • My MacBook Pro didn't come with Pages while my previous MacBook did...is that normal?

    I bought a MacBook Pro a little over a year ago and it didn't come with Pages. I thought this was normal but my MacBook which I had a couple years ago previously did come with Pages. Are all laptops supposed to come with Pages automatically? My MacBook Pro did come with Keynote which I thought was strange and random....any thoughts? If the MacBook WAS supposed to come with Pages, is there any way for me to get it now or is it too late? Thank you!

    No.
    iWork was never bundled with a Mac.It was an optional buy.
    Now you can download iWork free from App store if you buy a new Mac.

  • TS4006 my iCal in my new MacBook Air doesn't sync with the iCal data in my iPad despite having it "checked" (ON) in the system preferences iCloud. what else do i have to do to activate the iCal and have sync with my iPad?

    Issue: iCal
    I can't sync the iCal in my new MacBook Air with the existing iCal in my iPad. I went to system preferences (settings) to iCloud and checked the iCal to enable it to sync to my existing iPad iCal. Still nothing happened. It's strange because i successfully synced my contacts doing the same thing. Is there anything I have to have my iCal activated in my new MacBook Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Macbook Pro didn't come with Installation disk

    Hello. My 13inch Macbook pro just arrived today. It's Mac OS X Lion 10.7. After powering it up my first order of buisness was to install windows 7 through bootcamp. Then I made the discovery that this Macbook didn't come with an installation disk which I find damned odd. I checked the box and the little notebook holders, and there's no disk. This thing isn't even a day out of the box, so should I call apple and see if they'll send me one or is there something I'm missing?

    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

    Launch App store from the Dock.

    Click the "Purchase" tab at the top.
    You should see a line saying "You have 3 Apps to Accept".
    Click the "Accept" button on the right.

  • My new Macbook Air doesn't pair with my bluetooth speaker (Jambox or Big Blue).  Why?

    I've tried two different bluetooth speakers (Jambox abd Big Blue) and both don't pair with my MacBook Air.  Anyone have the same problems?

    For those interested, i managed to get the Big Blue speaker to pair with my MBA.  I thought I had tried this, but i went to the bluetooth icon and chose Set Up Bluetooth Device.  It recognized the speaker and paired.  Prior to that I was trying the Browse Device option, but that didn't work.  Still nothing on the Jambox though. 

  • NEW Macbook air and external HDD with windows files

    Hi,
    I just bought (2 days ago) my first MAC (finally). After so many years of working with windows it was time to get of the dark side . Anyway, this is not my first time around apple products (I had iphones and ipads) so I know some basic stuff like iCloud, keychain etc. I bought 13inc macbook air, 128 GB SSD.
    Now this is my problem:
    Although I worked on a windows computer I was saving all my files (work related, movies, music, tvshows, photos- a lot of them) on my external HDD (500 GB). Now, when I transfered to Mac I would like to have my Word, PPT and music files on my mac but not the photos, those I would like to keap on my EHDD. Can this actually work without some work around file extensions and EHDD formating? Can I use my EHDD like this? I know that it is both for Windows and MAC (it was written on the box).

    I depends in what format the external drive is formatted as to how easy this is going to be.
    I bet there is a good chance it is NTFS. If so, some moderately bad news. The Mac OS can read it, but not write to it natively, unless it is a networked drive.
    Sure, you can add third party functionality to the Mac, so it will write to the external drive, but I would avoid it if possible. If your drive is already formatted FAT 32, or ExFAT, then you can perform cross platform reading and writing, without issue.
    Fortunately we live in a time where most external drives are now relatively inexpensive. If you don't want to, or can't reformat that drive, because you have no space to put the files in the interim (I hope they are not just in place, anyway), consider buying a new external drive for sharing purposes.
    Just my 2 cents.
