The macbook air is good for creating apps?

Please answer me if the mac air is good for creating apps?

Yes, of course.
The 13" would give you more desktop space to work with.

  • Is the new macbook air any good for logic pro?

    hi. i currently have a heavy 15" macbook pro with i7 dual core 2.66GHz processors.
    i travel a lot and am really thinking about getting a macbook air.
    i want to know if any logic users are on the new 13" macbook air and how they find it.
    can it run large sessions ok?
    do you miss the firewire port or a larger screen?
    does it get super hot after heavy use and does this drain the battery?
    thanks for chipping in... appreciate it!

    You should really be fine with battery life, but the Air does get quite hot under stress. It will also have a lot less power than your i7 MBP so it really depends on how much CPU your typical projects use, expect just over half of your current CPU use to max out your air. On the other front, having an SSD means you will get pretty awesome streaming from your HDD, meaning that you probably won't ever be able to load too many audio tracks.
    The only counter I see to that is that you'll be pretty short on HDD space if you plan to keep your Mac portable. (IE no external HDD) and no FireWire is an instant No-Buy for all us FireWire interface based producers. Of course you have your bigger MacBook to pass things onto. All in all it's a great buy for a sketch pad type machine to get ideas down on the go, but understand that for a few reasons (FireWire, processing power, uselessness for me on a desktop due to small screen and keys) I would always plan to pass the song up to your MBP when I get home as its a superior machine in everything but size.
    Hope that's been helpful.

  • Are macbook air computers sufficient for ios app development?

    Looking into learning how to build ios apps and would like to know from those experienced how much computing power is necessary for building apps.

    Just to reinforce what shldr2thewheel says - be very sure what size memory you want if you get a Macbook Air. There is *no* way to change after purchase. My advice is to go for the 4GB option - especially if you want to do app development.
    The internal storage (solid state drive) of the Air can be upgraded if required but it will probably be an expensive option. If you don't think the storage will be enough then maybe using a USB connected drive to hold non-essential files is an option.
    As to deciding between the Air and Pro you are basically making a decision between portability (Air) and expandability/bigger screens (Pro). What is more important to you?

  • Is it OK to charge the Macbook Air with charge for Macbook Pro?  45W to 60W...

    Can I charge my Macbook Air with Macbook Pro charger?  It is 45W to 60W. 
    What is impact?

    You can use a higher wattage charger than the one that came with the computer, but not one of a lower wattage.

  • Is the Macbook air good for someone who makes lots of movies?, is the Macbook air good for someone who makes lots of movies?

    I make lots of movies, so I need lot of space. If I paired a Macbook Air with an external HD (1-2 TB) would this be a good option? I love the look of the Air, and the Macbook Pro is so much mor pricey.  Thanks

    It would be a good option if you plan on using iMovie and you have a desktop at home that you do most of your work on and the MacBook air is only for "mobile" editing. However, if you want to run apps like Final Cut Pro then a Macboo Pro may be a better option, but the MacBook air can still run Final Cut.

  • Can the Macbook Air model MD760HN/B be used for developing iOS apps?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to learn iOS Apps Development and I am planning to buy the Macbook Air Model - MD760HN/B.
    My question is - Is this model fit enough to develop apps using XCode?
    The retailer says the OS is Mac OS X Mavericks, there is no version written.
    I am planning to develop using Swift Language so let me know if this is possible as well using the above stated Model Number.
    Yes, I have created an Apple Developer Account already as an iOS Developer.
    Looking forward for your valuable replies.
    I hope Mac is better than Windows (using since Windows 95) - (Hate Windows 8)
    Thanks in advance.

    This sounds to me like the MacBook Air mid-2013 model with a 13" display and core i5 processor built for sale in India.
    Yes, this should be fine for writing Swift code.
    The current Apple operating system is OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5.  If your computer comes with Mavericks installed, you can always update to the current version by opening the App Store and clicking "Updates" near the top right.

  • My imessages app on the macbook air is not working

    I have the Macbook Air and the Ipad. I received the Ipad first, therefore have a apple account and everything set up including the imessage app on ipad. However when i got the Macbook Air and used the same email i did for the ipad, it sync and could send messages to people from either product. but later the app on mac didnt send messages anymore neither synced with the ipad or by itself. The imessage ap on the mac is very slow for my mac but i can use the internet super fast. Also the imessage app is not sync with the ipad anymore. I didnt turn on icloud but when both imessage apps on the ipad and mac i wasnt using icloud. So here's my questions:
    Is the Imessage app usually slow on Macbook Air?
    How do you sync the imessage app for ipad and mac?

  • Should I go for the new Retina Macbook Pro 13" (announced Oct 2013) or the Macbook Air 13"?

    So, I was set on the Macbook Air until Apple announced the new notebook. The reason I was set on Air previously is because I really need a portable laptop, and the Air was lighter. But the new Pro seems light enough if not as light, so I'm confused all over again.
    I won't use my laptop for much. I don't use my computer for gaming or high-end photo editing. I might use it for basic photo editing, nothing too special. I'm going to start college soon, which is why I need a portable laptop with good battery life. And I will be typing a lot. I listen to a lot of music, and so, I download quite a lot of music as well. Space is not that big of an issue, since I already own an external hard drive. Other than that, I browse the Internet... basic websites... Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr etc etc.
    So, input would be highly appreciated. Which laptop would meet my needs, and will be good in the long run as well? Thanks in advance.

    In my opinion, a college student should get the old-fashioned MacBook, NOT the Air.
    You are going to be putting this in a backpack and heading off to your next class or lunch four or five times a day. The regular MacBook Pro can stand that abuse -- the Air is much more light and delicate.
    If you were an executive, slipping this (in a neoprene sleeve) in and out of your Briefcase once a day, I would say the Air is fine.

  • I have a new MacBook Air.  When I first got it, I migrated some of my files from my PC to the MacBook Air with no issues.  Now, I',m trying to migrate more documents, music, etc. and migration assistant won't get past "Looking for Other Computers."  Why?

    I have new MacBook Air. When I first got it, I migrated some of my files from my PC to the MacBook Air without any problems.  Now I'm trying to migrate more files, music, etc. and I keep getting the continuous spining circle with "Looking for Other Computers."  I've tried everything and for some reason it is not finding my PC. What am I doing wrong?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Does the Macbook Air run full, standalone versions of software or does it require special, streamlined apps?

    I'm looking to buy a Macbook. Will the Macbook Air load and run full, unabridged versions of Mac-compatible software, such as what I already own, or does it require only special "apps" versions such as the iPad and iPhone do? I realize that the Macbook Air blurb states you can wirelessly use another Mac's drive to load software onto a MBA or buy an add-on drive to connect it up and load software but my question is the performance capability of the MBA to actually run full versions of ALL OS X Mac-compatible software.

    The MacBook Air runs the identical operating system as any other Mac, and is subject to no arbitrary limitations imposed on the latest software, or by the latest software.
    The only remaining factor is hardware. All Mac software has it's own individual requirements for the system, that being the speed of the processor, the amount of memory, the type of graphics processor required, etc. Some select software, say intense game apps, will not run very well or at all on the MBA, and it simply the lack of a system's component compatibility of performance. But this is a factor present in all computers, nothing special about the MacBook Air.
    So, as long as the hardware is sufficient for the system requirements of the software, you can install and use any full version app designed for OS X Lion.

  • HT4437 I have a Macbook Air, an iPad3, and Apple TV.  I want to be able to use the iPad3 for training through the Macbook Air which is connected to a projector.  Any ideas?

    I would like to be able to show my iPad3 screen through the Macbook Air that is connected to a projector.  I attended an Apple Training presentation and the presenter was using this set up-how do I get it set up correctly?  I also recently purchase Apple TV because the presenter said that she was using this device with the Air and the iPad.

    If you are trying to connect the iPad to the Macbook, then try this app: http://www.reflectionapp.com/ The iPad also supports connecting straight to the Apple TV, so you could try it that way too.
          Hope this helps!

  • I want to use my Macbook Air 2011 as an external disk for my iMac 2011. I connected the two with a Thunderbolt cable and when starting the MacBook Air I pressed "T" and it worked except with Office documents. Can anybody help?

    I want to use my MacBook Air as an external disk to my iMac. I talked to Apple care and we solved it by connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the two computers. I then turn on the MacBook Air while pressing the "T" and it works. I can sit and work on my iMac and grab/change/save the files that are in my MacBook Air EXCEPT for the Microsoft Office files. I called Microsoft and they can't solve it. They say it might be a problem with the Thunderbolt cable. Has anybody have this problem?
    Both computers are 2011 and they both have Office 2011.
    Thanks in advance,

    For Word it says "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, /)"
    For Excel it says "the file could not be found. Check te spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure hat the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.
    I tried this with many different documents, and I always get the same message.

  • I am interested in buying a macbook laptop. I am confused however in which one I should buy for the type of work that I will be doing. I either am looking into getting a macbook pro or the macbook air. I am leaning more towards the air.

    A basic MBA will be more than adequate.  Take into consideration that storage may be a long term issue unless you are not averse to traveling with an external HDD.

  • Can the Macbook Air be used as a display monitor for Xbox 360 ???

    Hi Guys,
                Basically I was just wondering if the Macbook Air 11'' can be used a display monitor for the Xbox 360 due to me smashing my TV... Ooops.
    I tried with a thunderbolt to HDMI socket and then plugged that into my Xbox with no luck ! If it is possible in some way could you please explain what parts are need and how it would need to be set up.
    Many Thanks,
