Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Instead of using Ethernet, both Macs have got Thunderbolt. I recommend you to get a Thunderbolt cable and use it to transfer your files. The transfer will be much faster.

My main question is I use parralells and windows 7 for some mapping software I use on my current macbook pro. Will this software be copied across as well or will I need to repurchase it all. Equally the question applies to purchased software such as pages, numbers, ms office for mac etc will they copy across to or will I need to rebuy?
Migration Assistant will ask you what you want to transfer, and one of the folders it will ask you to transfer is Applications. If you tick it, all your applications will be transferred, including Parallels, Pages, Numbers, Office for OS X, etc. You may need to reactivate them. Also, you may have to buy Office again depending on the license you have. Transfer the Documents folder because the Parallels virtual machine is saved there.
I recommend you to transfer your files during the initial setup of the MacBook Air, so you will only have one user > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html

You can get Aip Drop to work on earlier Macs running Lion which Apple say are not compatible, well I did on my Early 2008 iMac.

Hw upgrade for Mac Book Air 11'
Can I upgrade my hw (ram and flash memory) after PC purchase ?
SSD is a removable PCIe module, it can be removed, replaced, upgraded etc.
RAM is permanent on logic.
You cannot upgrade in the terms that after 14 days, the Air is not available for exchange with a diff. Air with more / less SSD. -
Firmware upgrade on mac book air 13"
i clicked the update next to the firmware upgrade 1.6 option in app store, it is now stuck on "checking for new updates", i can't shutdown or anything, it says you must wait for os updates to complete before shutting down. the message has been displayed for the last 6 hours. anybody got any pointers, have contacted apple, but they are closed in the uk now, US care are trying to call but can't seem to get through to me.
You can force quit the app store and load it down manually. See this thread for a link.

2013 MAC Book Air I am unable to get the USB to network connector to work. I tried USB3 and USB2 adapters.
Youre using a very slow adaptor if you have a 2013, get a Gigabit adapter, far far faster.

Is Aperture 3 compatible with 2009 Mac Book Air 2.1 (MC 234 LL/A) RAM 2GB
Do I have to upgrade my Mac Book Air to Mavericks OS or will work under Snowleopard?
RegardsThe Mac App Store version of Aperture requires Mac OS X 10.9 or newer. If you choose to buy an Aperture DVD, it needs to be version 2 or 3 to work in Snow Leopard.

XF Utility drops frames in playback on my Mac Book Air
Hello,
I recently purchased a C300 and I am using a 2013 Mac Book Air to transfer media from the camera to external hard drives.
All works well except XF Utility drops frames when playing back footage from media that has been transferred to the laptops hard drive and also my external hard drives. I am using the latest version of XF Utility (1.3.0) and here are the tech specs for my Mac Book Air:
Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024 MB
My iMac desktop from 2007 plays the footage back with no dropped frames, no hiccupps. I have a hard time beleiving that the latest the processor and graphics components on a 2013 MacBook Air cannot play back the footage without dropping frames. Anyone have any ideas what might be my problem?
Thank you.Hello jdbrunet,
We are not aware that this is a common issue with the footage shot with the EOS C300. Since XF Utility seems to drop frames, the next thing to try would be another program to see if the footage drops frames there as well. This would give us an idea if the issue is solely within XF Utility or the computer as a whole.
Desktops are generally more stable with regards to video processing because most Mac systems that are built for editing have more RAM and would handle the flow of video better. You do not list the spec's for the iMac, so we cannot say this for certain.

I have a late model mac book air 11 inch can i upgrade to a solid state hard drive
i have a late model mac book air 11 inch can i upgrade to a solid state hard drive
If you're looking to get an SSD with increased capacity, they can be purchased from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express
They are very easy to install.
Note that I'm not sure on how this may impact your warranty. Nothing in an Air is considered user upgradable. Therefore there would be no reason for a consumer to open it up. As Apple does not consider the SSD as user replacable, it may cause warranty issues. I have not seen any comments from anyone who has upgraded their SSD and subsequently had to have service. -

Hello quick question, i have a late 2010 model and i am wondering if i can upgrade the battery with the new battery that comes with the new 2011 mac book air. i have been getting 3 hrs of use on my air....
As said above, you have the latest. But the 3 hrs of battery use (I assume the 11" model) seems very low. Reviews all show 5 hrs per spec, or close, with screen at 50% brightness. Unless you're doing something very processor or storage intensive, or have the screen at full brightness, I'd take it to an Apple Store and have them check it out.

i have a question is it okay to upgrade to OS mavericks? free upgrade? i have a mac book air version 10.8.5,
Shouldn't be a problem if your Mac can run Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
As for Safari. When you say not responding, do you mean it won't open a window, or it won't load websites, or it won't launch at all?

I bought a Mac Book Air 3 month ago. I upgrade Lion software several hours ago. Later I reboot and I left to work. When I arrive, I can't turn on my MAC. Only light up the capital letter light, all the other parts are
dead o seem to be. Can you tell me what I have to do to solve the problem, please?We can't, but Apple can, contact customer service, have your serial number ready and for a small fee Apple will send you a replacement.
If you're in a hurry, go to the Apple Store and purchase a copy of OSX ($29 in the US) -
i recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive.. is this possible and for how much? its only a week old.
Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
however those are the stipulations.
RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
SSD are very expensive, even a small one, HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons.
