Problem with partition disk in 2010 MacBook Air

Hello!
I have a 2010 MacBook Air 11-inch and I can't do a partition disk with bootcamp. I have Windows 7 ISO and I have a bootable usb with this.Then, when I try to do partition with bootcamp , it said that I need a remote optical drive. I don't understand, because with my 2009 iMac I can do the partition with bootable usb since bootcamp. This problem is caused by bootcamp program is not well updated or simply, I can't do the partition without remote optical drive?
Thanks for help!

Exactly the same happened to me. Yesterday morning I opened the lid of my MBP8,1 (late 2011) on a meeting with a client and It just did not wake up :-/ After forced reboot it would never boot stuck on the same place.
Now what is happening any HDD will be recognized and booted aswell 10/10 attempts but SSD will not boot eventhough I reinstalled it all. The SSD WILL boot in other MBP and is visible on other systems.
The SSD WILL BOOT via USB.
I do not believe the disk is the problem.
My MB was replaced just few months ago. My SATA cable was replaced some time before the MB.

When will Apple come with an update so 2010 Macbook Airs again can use the Appstore?

the problem appears in Lion and Mountain Lion and came with the last update to the operating system

well, Apple fixed the problem and if so, thank you.
I have a late 2010 Macbook Air, and I did the following:y
formatted the SSD disk and installed Snow Leopard again from the usb-stick and made the updates
Then I made a partition called Lion and downloaded Lion from App Store in Snow Leopard and installed it on the partition called Lion. The version of Safari with it was 5.1.6 and App Store worked. Then I made a copy of Safari to the desktop, updated Lion (except Safari). Then I transferred settings etc with Transfer assistant from my Mac mini to my Macbook Air in Lion. Safari 5.1.6 was not working, but App Store worked and Firefox did.
Then I downloaded Mountain Lion once more from App Store and installed it over Lion.
And ... hooray.... Safari is version 6 and App Store is working

Hi,
I would try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

Problem with partitioning - disk permanently falls back to old p-table

Hey Guys!
I'm quite desperate and can't find answers for the following problem - maybe some of you already had a similiar problem.
I want to reuse a SSD that I used on a different machine as primary system drive. It's partition-table:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 119.2 GiB, 128035676160 bytes, 250069680 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x0004f0e5
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 * 2048 499711 497664 243M 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 501758 250068991 249567234 119G 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 501760 250068991 249567232 119G 8e Linux LVM
There is a LVM volume group with two volumes (root and swap) on sda5. No matter how I try to destroy the LVM setup and the partitioning, it is always "reseted" to this setup.
I tried: lvremove, vgremove, pvremove, fdisk, cfdisk, gdisk, cgdisk, dd from /dev/null, testdisk - with and without reboots, from arch-linux booted from usb and from an ubuntu-live-cd. No matter what, the partitioning does not change.
Why I want to reformat it? I want to use the drive as cache for zfs-on-linux.
It feels like the drive is somehow write-protected.
Has anyone suggestions what to try next?

Thanks @ROOKIE
Sadly didn't work either - see below. Underneath I added results of smart-tests - maybe I miss something.

Problem with spam filter on my macbook air mail app

My spam filter just stopped working one day- lots of messages getting through. I tried monkeying around with the preferences but have not seen any results. I don't actually know what all the setting s mean so I have probably messed it up good. Please- which settings should I have it set on to block obvious spam and "learn" what else I consider spam. Thanks.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Why can't a choose to create a Windows 7 install disk on my 2010 macbook air?

It is a 2010 macbook air, with lion 10.7.2 and bootcamp 4.0.1. the option to create a windows 7 install disk is greyed out, i have a trial version from microsoft website, but i also have a downloaded windows 7 both of them are .iso, i also have a 4gb usb in. could someone explain to me how to fix this?

You might follow this procedure...
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20020513-285/install-win-7-on-macbook-air-fr om-a-usb-drive/
Note that to start the procedure, you will need a Windows computer to create the USB install stick.
I have an iMac with Windows 7 running via BootCamp, but I really don't like the BootCamp setup mainly because it's necessary to reboot the computer every time you switch from one OS to the other.
A few days ago I got a new MBA 128GB model which I decided to put Windows on via Parallels. I have an old stand-alone DVD drive I plugged into the MacAir which immediately recognized the DVD drive. I then installed Parallels on the MacAir. When that was finished, it prompted me for a Windows installation disk, which I then put in the DVD drive.
Away it went with very little requests for inputs from me. In a short time, I had Windows 7 up and running. So far it looks like a great setup. With a few other programs, the MacAir reports that it still has 88GB free out of the 128 GB SSD.

My late 2010 macbook air suddenly crashes, show a blue screen and restart. What can i do to solve the problem?

Problem is with my iPhoto on my Macbook air. I am trying to move my library from my airbag onto my passport drive. I did it and deleted it from the airbag but it simply re appeared possibly from the cloud. Not sure what to do next.

Sorry - we can not see you
what do you have? Version of iPhoto? Of the OS? How is the passport connected to your Mac? What format is the passport (for the iphoto library it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) )? The iPhoto library is not and can not be on the cloud (maybe later with the Photos Application)

Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it? I also tried to only chose "Install Windows 7" option, but it could not recognize my windows dvd (which I created from ISO). Any help is appreciated.

How to install Windows 7 on 2010 MacBook Air with Lion - Bootcamp Assistant 4.0.1 from USB drive?

I want to install Windows 7 on my 2010 MacBook Air running Lion - Bootcamp Assistand 4.0.1 from a USB drive. I've done this in the past when I was running Snow Leopard and the process was rather easy but now Lion updated the Bootcamp Assistant so i'm no longer able to create a MBR partition without a Super Drive installed. Does anybody managed to do that? Thank you.
The old process working on Snow Leopard:

Nobody managed to install Windows 7 from a USB drive on a 2010 MacBook Air running Lion?

Kernal Panic in Late 2010 MacBook Air...on Shutdown

I have tried several sources of information in Apple Discussions to try to address this problem but to no avail (including the link to debug kernal panics). I have a late 2010 MacBook Air (4GB RAM 1067 DDR runing 10.8.5--the SSD drive is an OWC 240 GB Aura Pro made especially for the late 2010 MBAs) which is now experiencing kernal panics on every other shutdown (Shutdown only). I have reset the PRAM and SMC which seemed to work for awhile, but then it went back to frequent kernal panics on shutdown a day or so after resetting the PRAM/SMC. I have repaired disk permissions and also deleted old programs, but again to no avail. I am enclosing a copy of the Kernal Panic, and if anyone has any suggestions at this point, I would greatly appreciate it as I can't afford an expensive repair at this point. Also, is there anyway I can test if my memory and SSD harddrive are still ok?
Thanks very much,
Rob

Uninstall the Norton / Symantec product according to its instructions. Verify it is completely eradicated from your system, then ensure that you are running the latest VMware virtualization software.
Also, is there anyway I can test if my memory and SSD harddrive are still ok?

Upgrading a late-2010 MacBook Air to OS 10.8.2

I have a late-2010 MacBook Air running OS 10.6.8. I want to upgrade
to OS 10.8.2. Has the battery drain issue identified last August been fixed? Has Apple blessed the solution posted earlier this month:
"The fix for me was the following commands. I was able trace it to the citrix receiver process tagging the cpu and subsequently draining the battery in record times...I couldn't kill the process in activity monitor, had to run this:
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.citrix.agadminservice.plist
After i did this, the fan went silent, temp went down and batter life is back to 6+ hours like it is supposed to be!"?

There is no connection between Mountain Lion and removing the Citrix software to fix your problem. That was a third-party software incompatibility. Apple doesn't "bless" such solutions. They clearly state they are not responsible for problems with third-party incompatibilities.
So either you go forth and install or stick with Snow Leopard.

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...
