Putting a new battery into MacBook Air 1,1

Hello. I have a question regarding my MacBook Air's battery. I'm currently deciding to switch the battery for the new one because it has been 4 years and the battery can only last 1 hour 10 mins the most when fully charged. My question is if I pay $139 for the new battery, is this new battery the one for MacBook Air 4,1 (lasts 7 hours) or the one for the original MacBook Air 1,1 (lasts 5 hours). Thank you for reading.
Kevin

Kevin,
You'd get the same model battery that came with your first generation MacBook Air, the one rated for 5 hours. Now another scenario to consider would be a DIY solution via iFixIt.com

http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-Mid-2009-Battery/IF188-044#.T8Mj Qo4_594
They're the same price ($109.95) and the Mid-2009 battery says it'll work in the original Air and has a higher mAh rating (which means it'll last longer).

How much cost for changing new battery of MacBook Air??

Choose 'Battery Replacement' on the left and then "How much does battery replacement cost?"
If you are outside the US just choose the appropriate country in the drop-down menu.

I just put a new battery into my MacBook and it sometimes says Not Charging when it is connected to a power adapter.

Does anyone know what this might mean? My battery just went down to 7 percent charge even though it had been connected to the power adapter for quite some time. At least a few days. I didn't notice that the battery wasn't charging. Now it says it is charging again, but every once in a while I notice it has gone to not charging. Any ideas?
Thanks

Oftentimes the travel chargers connectors and pins just build up dirt and grime. When it says not charging it's able to give enough power to function but not charge. Try wiping it down with a cloth!

I did need to install the software so thanks for that but the battery life is still reporting only about 6 hours for a brand new mid 2013 macbook air 13 inch.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that. Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese. You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless. It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts: option + n, then o gives you õ.
The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard. But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
You may prefer to stay with the US layout. On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears. Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

Outlook365 draining battery on Macbook Air

Since upgrading to Yosemite and installing Outlook365, the battery is draining on my MBA. The fan is on and the machine is running hot. The problem seems to be Oulook365 that's using a really high level of CPU. If I switch on "Work Offline" or exit Outlook the problem goes away.
Has anyone seen this and have any suggestions on how to rectify?
Here's the output from Etrecheck:

Hi there. I also have a few questions on this point, please.
You say "delete the ones you think you don't need" but what do I need and what do I not need, please?! I have a new (July 2012) MacBook Air 13" and I have also been concerned about the battery running down quickly - in a couple of hours when watching films. Reading a couple of threads I have identified Safari Silverlight as still running after I have quit Safari but I have also been trying to work out what the other processes are that are in the Activity Monitor list and which ones I need, which I don't! Most of them are at 0.0% of CPU and the highest is only Safari at 12%, but there are 68 processes in there!
Also, I have looked at the Apple Support page given above about battery life and mine is already on its 11th cycle, full charge capacity 6524. I have read elsewhere that I should use my Air plugged in when near a power source - is this the best thing to do to conserve battery life? I currently use it mostly around the house, near power sources, and it is intended also to replace the PC desktop when that dies, but I bought an Air to be portable too.
I have the Default Settings for display, sleep etc.
All suggestions and advice are extremely welcome - many thanks!

HT4848 I'm trying to restore my MacBook Air but it tells me I need to purchase OS X mountain lion which I have but it says I haven't and I obviously can't put a disc in because MacBook Airs don't take discs. What do I do?

I'm trying to restore my MacBook Air but it tells me I need to purchase OS X mountain lion which I have but it says I haven't and I obviously can't put a disc in because MacBook Airs don't take discs. What do I do?

Thank you Terence for your help. I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive. so i felt sort of ok. but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted. it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it. my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this. i have 10 years of photos and videos. so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup. i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups. i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all! do you know why that is? all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful. thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash. especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed. any answers you have would be great. thank you.

Which Microphone for New Mid 2011 Macbook Air 13"

Please recommend a few USB condensor microphones for voice/vocal recordings that is sure to work with the New Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
My 3.5mm to USB adapters that work on my 2009 Macbook Pro with Leopard OS, no longer works with Lion OS
Ill be using this with GarageBand, iMovie & Audacity. Previously I'd use my Azden SMX-10 with the adapter. (the Azden is also used with my Canon DSLR).
Thanks in advance.

It is entirely possible, as many have known from day one (as ifixit's first teardown revealed). Unlike the unupgradeable memory, the SSD is a discrete expansion card that is removeable with just one screw, after removing the case cover. It is however debateable as to whether such an expansion is worth the possible risk of making demonstrable changes to the MBA whilst still under warranty. So you may want to stave off consideration for a while.
I made the upgrade recently on my older 2010 MBA, and it was easier than upgrading the HDD on my old MacBook Pro.

If I changed my Apple ID password on my iphone then log into itunes on my phone with that new password, would it automatically sync to my laptop or would i need to put the new password into my laptop also?

If I changed my Apple ID password on my iphone then log into itunes on my phone with that new password, would it automatically sync to my laptop or would i need to put the new password into my laptop also? My laptop got stolen so I changed my password and wanted to be sure it's safe to enter in the new one on my phone. I don't want it to snyc to my laptop.

Hi loro,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear that your laptop was stolen. Changing your password was a good step.
Entering your new password on your iPhone will not affect the laptop, as mentioned in this article:
Apple ID: Changing your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624
The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.

I just put a new battery in my Iphone 3Gs

I just put a new battery in my Iphone 3Gs and I plugged it in two charge and it says it's charging but it has not started yet. It has been like 45 minutes. Did I do anything wrong? Thanks.

Probably. Or you got a defective battery. Since Apple does not consider the iPhone to be user servicable, we cannot help with this issue here, but the forums on ifixit.com may be able to help. Otherwise, you'll need to take your iPhone to an unauthorized repair shop and have them attempt to fix the problem.
Regards.

HT3053 How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

How long should I charged new battery in MacBook pro?

You can leave it plugged in all the time if you wish.
Once your Macbook is fully charged, it stops charging.
You can see this if you click on your apple logo, about this mac, more info, system report, power.
In any event, it is also a good idea to use your Macbook under it's own power to keep the battery in optimal condition.
As much as possible, try not to fully discharge your battery. It could do more harm than good to your Macbook.
Good luck and enjoy your macbook
