What is the best os x for a Macbook Air mid 2011?

Hello friends,
Just looking for some suggestions and opinions
I have a Macbook Air mid 2011 2 gb ram 64 gb ssd.
It came with osx lion but i'm baffled about if i should upgrade to osx Mountain Lion, just worried about how wouild it perform and any advantages versus Osx Lion
Please let me know your opinioons and suggestions.
Thanks all

I would not recommend upgrading because 1) You have the minimum ram to upgrade.  2) Also, look at the features.  If their are none that you feel you need, then their is really no reason to upgrade.

  • Opinion - what's the best protective "skin" for my Macbook Air

    Hi
    need some advice. I bought a Zagg Invisible Shield and started 'installing' in - I only got the bottom done and decided I HATE the fact it makes my Mac feel and look shiny - hardly invisible....
    So - for the time being I am naked except for the bottom shell. I want to protect the rest of my Mac but I don't want it shiny - I love the satin feel of it. I also don't want to put some clunky platsic cover on my Mac that adds millimetres to the size. I bought it because it is sleek, slim and satiny and I want it to remain that way - am I destined to remain forever naked or does someone have some advice on what to use for protection?

    My cousin has this one on his Air. I was quite impressed with it. Especially the feel, and thin-ness.

    I am eager to buy one myself, but with a 1-2 month wait, I might not have the current version Air by the time it becomes available.
    This is the one I have now. I like it, but it does add a bit too much dimensionally.

    What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account and I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user.  The message suggested that I run a virus scan to check for sny malware or other types of viruses.  I do not have any software for this and up until now have not had a problem....any help is appreciated.  I would like a simple but effective solution!

    It's worth noting that if your Gmail has been hacked, it would likely have nothing to do with your MacBook.  Hacking web based email is fairly common and it doesn't require any access to your machine whatsoever.  In the same way that you can simply go to the Gmail webpage through any browser, any hacker can use the same method.  It doesn't mean your machine has been compromised in any way (and it has likely not been).  I have never received an email from Google of this nature.  I have received notifications when someone has attempted to create an account with my name in which they basically say that there is no action required if you're the rightful owner.

  • What is the Best Utility program for my Macbook Pro

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.33 with OS 10.4.10. I would like to know what is the best utility program to help with my computer. I used to use Norton Utilities, but I don't think they support 10.4. Is Tech Tool Pro a good program.

  • What's the best game controller for a MacBook Pro?

    I have a mid-2012, non-Retina, 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.5 Ghz i5 and 8 GB of RAM. My current OS is 10.9.1. I've played Starcraft 2 for some time without any problems, but there are a few newer games on the Mac App Store that look like they'd be no fun with a keyboard and mouse. I'm hoping people here have recommendations for the best game pads or controllers that are compatible with Mac.
    Please let me know if you have a controller that works really well for you, thanks!

    I like the Logitech Gamepad F310 for games on my Mac. You're right new games are much better with a game controller!

  • What is the best cooling pad for a MacBook Pro

    I use the laptop in a variety of settings.  It gets really hot on my lap and was wondering if anyone has used a cooling pad they like for this problem.

    I'm sure someone will jump in with the best of the best. FWIW the MBP is not a laptop it is a notebook. And as you've probably read in your User Guide does not belong on your lap.

  • What is the best way to back up macbook air to qnap

    I've had the macbook air since January and this is the 4th or 5th time I've had to start the Timemachine backups from scratch.  This time it's not working at all
    Every time we have to restart the qnap for any reason the time machine fails.  It tells me the back up cannot be verified and wants to start a new back-up.  This means I can't go back before a point in time.  This time is even worse because it spends a couple of minutes trying to connect to the qnap, then ignores it and tries to create the backup on my mac (1.5 million days and counting)
    I don't want to buy a time capsule when we have sufficient kit.  I don't want to get into all the geek stuff - I want something that works without me having to spend the night googling obscure answers.  In short, I want self evident solutions like you get with the iphone.  Clearly the qnap and time machine are not reliably compatible.
    My question is -  what toolset can I use with my macbook to automate backups, with minimum intervention, to a qnap or other non-Apple device?
    Thanks in advance

    Use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.
    Despite what the QNAP says, Apple doesn't support backing up to anything over a network except a Time Capsule or an external directly connected to another Mac.

  • What is the best bluetooth headphone for a macbook? I really don't know much about either.

    I am looking for a bluetooth portable wireless headphone set to use with my new macbook pro non retna. I want someing i can listen to movies, youtube, games(eve online) and other media.
    I do not know much about wireless headphones and i know nothing about the Macbook, my first ever apple product.I perfer to get something low profile like the LG HBS-700. I do not neccesarily require a in ear style headset. I also perfer sound isulating over noise canceling.
    I am willing to invest in a quality product. I do not know what is compatable with mac though so please help.
    I am ordering the macbook this weekend and would like to be enjoying my music and movies right away.
    thank you for your help.

    I have a  Motorola Bluetooth headset with microphone that I got from Amazon - here. Nothing fancy - definitely not audiophile quality - but small and portable and they hold a charge really well.
    Take a look at them and see if they will fit your needs. Price is right.

  • What is the best wireless printer for the MacBook Pro?

    what is the best wireless printer for a macbook pro?

    I use an Epson NX430 (inkjet) which uses a wireless card: no issues. Also a Brother HL-3040 (laser) connected to modem by Ethernet cable: no issues. Depends on your printing needs and amount of work space available.

  • What is the Best Safari Version for OS 10.9.5 Maverick on a MacBookPro, 2.4Ghz, 8 GB Mem.?

    What is the best Safari Version for OS 19.9.5 Maverick on a MacBook Pro. 2.4 Ghz, with 8 gb memory?

    The best version for Mavericks, in fact the only version, is an integral part of OS X. In other words you already have it.
    Its version number is 7.1.5.

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.
