MacBook Air (2009) with Windows 7

Hello everybody, I use my MacBook Air (2009,1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.3), also with Windows 7 for a software design: ( Rhinoceros 4 (all original softwares). In my case, when I use Windows 7 the temperature of the hardware is very high, I can't touch the surface of my MacBook Air as it is too hot. Anyone has some suggestions?Thank you.

Update: I went to a friends house that has internet, booted a fresh copy of windows 7, and checked the box where apple finds updates and installes drivers etc, but I still have the same problem..
This time I did everything correct...
Any tips?
You download the Windows Support Software for your installation while you are in Boot Camp Assistant (the program you used to create the partition) it is one of the very first steps you need to take: (see below)
Go back to Boot Camp Assistant and download the software.

MacBook Air 2009 battery draining rapidly.

The charge on my MacBook Air 2009 has been draining rapidly, last night I charged it overnight and this morning when I turned it on the MacBook is only charged to 11%. Any idea what is causing this? My MacBook says that the battery condition is 'Normal' and the MacBook was off whilst it was charging.
I've literally only just had a new HardDrive installed so I'd really hate to have to have a new battery as well.

Follow these steps to see the battery cycle count:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1519
Then look at the table below to see the maximum number of cycles your Mac is rated before the battery is considered spent and needs t be replaced.
For your MacBook Air 2009 it is likely 500 cycles.

Upgrade it to Mountain Lion. See the following.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Macbook air 2009 model wont update to OS X 10.10

my macbook air (2009 model) refused to download apps because it's not updated to OS X 10.10, but when i check for a software update, it says there are none available. Im currently using version 10.6.8 but unable to download apps such as facebook or twitter. Everything else seems to be fine, such as downloading music from itunes.

Yosemite (10.10) is not available as an update. It has to be "purchased" at the App Store.

Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but device location was not turned on. Can MAc ID

Our Macbook air was lost or stolen shortly after initial setup / registration but device location was not turned on. Can MAc ID # be found through email linked during setup ?

The following has some recommendations from Apple of what to do if Find My Mac was not turned on before it was lost or stolen. The quote is from If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support
Find My Mac is the only Apple service that can help track or locate a lost Mac. If you didn’t set up Find My Mac before your Mac was lost, or you can’t locate it, these steps might help you protect your data:
Change your Apple ID password to prevent anyone from accessing your iCloud data or using other services (such as iMessage or iTunes) from your Mac.
Change your passwords for other accounts you use with your Mac, including email, banking, and social sites like Facebook or Twitter.
Report your lost or stolen Mac to local law enforcement. They might request the serial number of your computer. You can find this information on the original box or receipt you received when you purchased your Mac, or on Apple's My Support Profile site if you registered your Mac.

Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

Restore Keychain from Macbook 3.1 to Macbook Air using Backup disc

I recently bought a refurbished Macbook Air (early 2014 model) to replace a late 2007 MacBook 3.1 and I am not able to use restore from a backup disc because the backup “was created on a different model of Mac.” I would like to transfer the data in the Keychain file on the Macbook 3.1 to the Keychain file on the Macbook Air. Suggestions greatly appreciated as I am currently manually transferring the Keychain data which is error prone and time consuming.

Try these steps:
1. Go to the Library on your old Mac and locate the Keychain folder
2. Open this folder and select the 'login.keychain’ file
3. Control-click on this file and choose Share
4. In the list of options, choose any of the methods you like
5. After you receive your keychain file, open Keychain Access on your new computer
6. Select File - Add Keychain and locate the 'login.keychain’ file from your old Mac

Restore FAIL with Macbook Air 2009-2010!!!!! Need help!

I bought a Macbook Air 13” from year 2009-2010 (not sure) a few days ago.
I used it for a few days as it came and then decided to restore it to fabric settings. Now it continuously says that it is temporarily unavailable.
Tried this but didn't work: http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-2330386/restore-macbook-air-factory-settings.htm l
^When I log in with my Apple ID the message comes that it is temporarily unavailable.
Hope to get some useful answers as I didn't find it on the other threads I've read. What am I going to do? I'm stuck on the page.

You can download this application which will allow you to disengage the discrete CPU and run the MBP on only the integrated one.

Download the trial from the Microsoft site, then activate with the code that came with your box set.
And yes, you can use Remote Disc to make use of the DVD unit on your PC.
