OSX/Lion with MACbok air v1 1.6 mhz 2GB Ram

Does this configuration work with the new os.  I'm getting lots of horror stories and want to know before I upgrade?

Yes, but it will work much better with 4 GBs of RAM.

    Nope. You can purchase a Snow Leopard DVD for $29.00 through an Apple retailer or ordering from AppleCare:

  • What is the best N.A.S non-mirrored storage that will work on osx lion with a time-capsule

    Recently bought a 4TB external network non-mirrored drive. Specifically D-Link DNS-325 2-bay sharecenter NAS because my Itune library was reaching 1.8TB. After buying and installing can't bring it all online. System sees it but won't connect and after lookin' around  online it seems if your using OSX Lion with a Time-capsule it won't connect. Does anybody know if this for sure, is not posible?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Apparently the NAS will work with Lion just not with the Time-Capsule as well. As this is my router this should be the forum. If you don't then if you could forward it to the appropriate one i'd appreciate it.

  • I did'nt recieve the DVD of OSX Lion with my IMac. Is it normal? Can I engrave it from my computer?

    When I recieve my IMac I realised that there was no DVD of OSX Lion with it. But I've Hearf that I needed it if I wanted to install a windows by BootCamp
    Maby I can engrave it on a DVD from my computer but I realy don't where is it and I'd reall like to know if it's normal not to have recieve this DVD with my IMac

    Lion does not come on a DVD. There are various ways to create a backup and you can buy a USB thumb drive with the installer. I can't help with needing a DVD to install Bootcamp/Windows since I do not run Windows.

  • Can you install osx lion with thumb drive from 10.6.3

    can you install osx lion with thumb drive from 10.6.3

    No. You can install Snow Leopard with a flash drive 10.6.3 installer. However, for Lion you must start with 10.6.8 in order to access the App Store to purchase and download Lion.

  • With Boot Camp, should I install the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium edition) OR the 32 bit version when installing onto an early 2008 Mac Pro operating OSX Lion with a 1 TByte internal HDD?

    With an early 2008 Mac Pro I'm about to add a second internal drive (1 TByte SATA) and initially install OSX Lion onto the new drive.  Then to partition this new HDD via Boot camp.  But my question is whether I am best advised to purchase the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium) or the 32 bit version of Windows 7 (Home Premium) for the Windows sector of the disk  What are the differences, and will I notice a difference in performance?

    In chart from wiki, (scroll down to "Comparison chart") check the maximum CPUs supported.
    You don't see this on MSoft's 1st searched for chart hit. This is one reason you will regret not paying for Professional+ if you get Home Premium 64 as I did for Mac Pro early 2008.
    Home Prem Task Mgr sees 4 processors vs. the 8 that are seen by Pro+.    
    Costs more than a Mac upgrade to Lion if you make that mistake.

  • OSX Lion with Secondary Display

    Hi  Just upgraded my old macbook to OSX Lion.  The display is bad on the laptop, but I keep it hooked up to my HDTV via HDMI.   Once I upgraded, I can no longer get a desktop to switch to the secondary monitor using the F7 key.  All I get is a blank grey screen.  What do I do?

    I don't have a second monitor connected now. But, be sure you select the "mirror" or perhaps, "mirroring" option in System Preferences > Displays.

  • OSX Lion with ALUA support actually broke more than it fixed for us

    Hi
    As you guys know Apple introduced ALUA in to Lion and when they bumped up the specs of Xsan. Most people seems to be really happy about this but in our case it actually broke more than it fixed. With our ATTO Celerity ES41 and LSI quad channel fibre cards we only see half of our LUNs. The explanation I got from the ATTO support was:
    "The problem with this is that we don't really support connectivity to the LSI Netapp Engenio arrays with Multipathing on Lion with the 4Gb cards. Only the 8Gb cards are supported. The problem is we no longer can control this in Lion. In Snow leopard, there is an nvram switch to disable MPIO...In Lion, we can not do this due to Apple implementing ALUA in the OS itself. Our standard driver hooks into ALUA, and the MP Driver hooks into our own MP subsystem."
    So the ATTO cards are out of the picture and ATTO wont come up with a fix. The jury is still out over at LSI and I*m waiting to hear back from them. But what I wonder is exaclty what it was that went wrong when Apple "fixed" this...? Is there a "legacy" mode that I can switch over to in some way? We can't replace all our fibre cards over this, that would be redicilous.
    Cheers and thanks in advance

  • How is Lion's performance with the baseline 13" MBA (Late 2010) 2GB RAM?  I know it works fine with the baseline 11" 2GB model, but because that's a smaller machine, perhaps the 2GB limit is not so detrimental to performance.  MBA 13" 1.86, 2GB/2010

    How does the baseline 13" mba (late 2010, 1.86 ghz, 2GB RAM/128GB) work with OSX LIon? I know the baseline 11" is fine, but does the larger form factor of the MBA 13" require more RAM to be speedy under Lion? I wouldn't think so, but please advise.  Please answer this question ONLY with refrence to the specs listed (13" MBA (late 2010, 1.86 ghz, 2GB RAM, 128gb).  Thanks much!

    Overy time, every PC/Mac gets unavoidably bloated with junk like unnecessary files/downloads/apps or left-over files of video-streams/uninstalled apps/caches/... which slow down the overall system. That's why PC/Mac should be formatted (=deleting everything even including the operating system) once in a while to reinstall the operating system (here: Lion) from scratch -hence "clean install". To format a Mac is pretty easy, but all of your files (e.g. images, documents,...) should be saved on external harddrives/CDs/DVDs/Flash-drives... because they are going to be deleted during the formatting.
    I'm NOT going to describe you how to format, because it might not be necessary for you.
    But what you NEED to do anyway is (if you want Lion):
    (( 0. Eventually, but not necessarily: Make a TimeMachine-BackUp to be able to return to Snow Leopard))
    1. Download Lion, BUT DON'T install it (cancel the install-process).
    2. Follow the instructions on this site:
    http://lifehacker.com/5823096/how-to-burn-your-own-lion-install-dvd-or-flash-dri ve
    This will give you a legal copy of Lion on a DVD or Flash-Drive, which btw allows you to install it on all of your mac at home. Why do you need copy of Lion? If you encounter problems with lion after a "normal install"(=NOT formatting and NOT clean installing the operating system), you still have the option to make a clean install. A clean install can't be done without the copy of Lion on a DVD or Flash-Drive.

  • TS3926 Installing OSX Lion on MacBook Air

    I have a MacBook Air with solid state hard drive. The Disk Utility partition tool shows that "This partition cannot be modified". What can I do?

    When I started the downloaded Lion file, it asked me "What hard drive do you want to install Lion on?". There is only one drive, but I cannot select it, (it was greyed out) because of his disk cannot be used to start up your computer". I did the exact same on my desktop machine with no problem. Thanks
    Rock,
    If you have a spare USB flash drive around you can make a copy of the Lion install on your desktop machine and use it to boot your MacBook Air. See the article here.
    Hope this will help,
    Clinton
    Oh, you can also install on your drive from the flash drive, too.

  • Has anyone successfully used OSX Lion with Logic 8, a Digi002 and Digidesign's Coreaudio?  Need to know for iCloud update.

    I need to upgrade to Lion for iCloud and to shift my mobile me iDisk to iCloud in order to save the content I have and need to share.
    Anyone using Logic 8 with this?  I want to be sure, as I can't afford to upgrade everthing just yet.
    Thanks

    I can give a partial answer.
    If you're installing Lion over the top of Snow Leopard Logic should be fine, it you're going to run a clean install of Lion, Logic 8 will not install but will run if you can copy it over from a working SL install.
    Update: This thread has info on how to install Logic 8 on a clean install of Lion.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18270040#18270040
    The other issue are Digi's Core Audio MIDI drivers, they don't seem to be Lion compatible yet so while you may have the audio part of the interface working with Lion, you have to remove the MIDI drivers or Logic chokes while booting up. (unless there are new drivers I don't know about) Perhaps others have more info on the Digi situation.

  • Grafics problem on mac osx lion with intel hd

    i have some grafics problems in some games like dragon age 2 or assassin's creed on my MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011). in dragon age 2  yellow and red effects became blue and green after the upgrade (like blood), and playing assassin's creed 2 is quite "impossible" because all characters, horses and so on, appear all green and red (but i have to mention that they games run faster since i upgraded to lion ). is there any sign of an update for intel hd grafics?

    No, OpenGL Swap Buffer support (Level 1) support for the HP4000 is for Windows only. Level 2 and 3 support is not available either. You'd need a more powerful NVIDIA card for Level 1, 2, and 3 feature support.

    You do not need to force TRIM.  I guarantee you that the SSD knows far better than you how to manage wear leveling.
    Not so that is why they created TRIM. If the drive knew better then TRIM would not be needed.
