When do MacBook Air models tend to be released?

I'm going to be purchasing the MacBook Air but I'm not sure whether I should buy it now or wait a couple of months for the next model released. I need it by mid-June at the latest and I heard that the new models tend to be released at the end of the second quarter or at the beginning of the third quarter.

The generally rule of thumb is if you need it now buy it now.
If you start the waiting game you'll never get one. There is always something better in the line just waiting to be released.

Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?

Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)? I often miss the visual power percentage in the top bar, so would like an audio alert as well.

For global alerts, yes:
There is no need to do anything before the alert appears, and the MBA will not lose data should it go to sleep. If it goes to sleep at 0% you still have several hours to plug it in before it shuts down.
I wouldn't even bother displaying the percentage value.

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.

Hi HarmitClaire,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your MacBook Air is not charging as expected. In this situation there are troubleshooting steps that I would recommend. Please use the attached article as a resource for steps to help you resolve this situation.
Mac notebooks: All about batteries - Apple Support
My battery is not charging
Confirm the correct wattage AC adapter for the computer. A power adapter rated for a lower wattage than is required for the system may not reliably charge the computer. For assistance identifying the proper adapter, review Intel Based Mac notebooks: Identifying the right power adapter and power cord--US. Additional adapter troubleshooting is available in Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. If issues persist please reset the SMC.
Best regards,
Joe

Resotoring Macbook Air Model A1237 without USB

Hello, I need assistance restoring my MacBook Air Model A1237 back to factory settings. It's a 2008 model and unfortunitely i've misplaced my USB retore drive. Can I please have assistance restoring my laptop without the USB? Thank you in advance!
Alex

That's not possible. Phone AppleCare and order a replacement; if you have an external SuperDrive and don't need iLife or the Apple Hardware Test, you can use a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD instead.

What can I do when my macbook air says startup disk is full

What can I do and where do I look to offload things when my macbook air says my startup disk is full?
Thanks

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Being a 2009 model, it is likely the battery is worn out. Take it to a service center and have the battery replaced.

How can I tell if I got one of the new updated MacBook Air models?

Hello,
I bought a new MacBook Air this week (6 May 2014 to be precise) after the announcement was made of a minor update to the processor which is supposed to extend battery life. When I check its serial number, however, I expected to see "Early 2014", but instead it identifies as a "Mid 2013" model. Is this correct? And if so, how do I know whether or not I got one of the updated models?
Specs in attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance,
Lee

I am having the same exact issue. I thought the reason might be because my customized version which has a 1.7 Ghz Core i7 is the same processor as the mid-2013 models. However in looking at some other posts online people with customized versions that have 8 GB of memory are having the same issue, even if their processor is the 1.4 Ghz Core i5 which is only included in the early 2014 models.
They Early-2014 Models came out on April 29th 2014, and looking at my serial number you can see that my computer was made AFTER that date.
There are however computers that show do Early 2014 such as the MacBook Air in this unboxing video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjkrv2-kwCs
What's interesting is the computer in the video was made BEFORE mine (from the serial number) yet it shows as newer in Apple's system
Now I have seen some posts indicating that apple will fix this issue via an update, however it is NOT just a software issue but also an issue in Apple's computer systems
If I look my device up on https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
It shows as a mid-2013 Model, whereas if I look up the MBA in the YouTube unboxing it shows as an early 2014.
I really hope Apple fixes this, I have spoken with managers at two Apple Retail stores and they offered to exchange my device within the return period, but I have yet to have gotten a chance to head over, I will likely within a day or two.

How do I add extra flash memory to My Macbook Air Model MD223

Hi,
I would please like to know if there is any possible way to add extra flash storage to My MacBook Air 11.6" (2012) Model MD223 with 64GB. I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3
Could I please get some help?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Neelu Saraswatibhatla

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can upgrade that, but you will void the warranty. That MacBook Air requires flash storage that it's not sold everywhere, so you can purchase more flash storage at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2012
You can't install a SSD with the enclosure because it doesn't fit

When connecting Macbook Air to iMac, have to keep Macbook Air open in order to use the iMac as a display.

When I connect my Macbook Air to my iMac with Thunderbolt, I have to keep my Macbook Air open or else the iMac does not sense it. I've tried closing it to just use the iMac as the display, but then the iMac goes back to its regular screen. Also, I have to control everything from the MBA keyboard and touchpad- my iMac mouse and keyboard suddenly won't work. How do I fix this?

Hi there,
Apple outline the steps to do so in the link I've posted below. If you need help with any of them, just shout.

Have a nice day,

Sparks when connecting MacBook Air charger to the wall

Hi everybody. Today when I plugged in the MacBook Air power charger to the wall in my room I saw and heard sparks for the first time and the I noticed that the connecter ends of the charger have burnt a little (I see small black dents) but the charger is working normally. Shall I stop using the charger and buy a new one? I mean does this have any effect on the Macbook?

then you indicate a grounding issue on a certain socket in your house.
You mentioned "connecter ends of the charger"
lets make sure, youre referring to the magsafe end that connects to the MAC, or to the 2 prong wall connector
which is it?
post a pic of the "small black dents"
otherwise use a regulated power strip in the location which has the faulty wall outlet you indicate.

Help with choosing a MacBook Air Model for a college student.

I am a college student and I am debating between the two 13 inch Mac AirBook models that Apple offers. I was wondering if someone can give me a breakdown of the differences and also, which model would be a better fit for a college student?

The two models are described here:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) - Technical SpecificationsJun 10, 2013
Actually, there is only one model. You can purchase it with 128GB or 256GB of storage. But you can customize other features as well, such as the processor speed and the RAM size.
Asking which model is best for a college student is just like asking what type of car you should buy. It's up to you. In my opinion, if you're going to spend a bit of money to upgrade from the base model, the first place to upgrade would be the RAM size.

What do I do when my MacBook Air is running but the screen won't turn on?

I have had my MacBook Air less than a year and have been using it daily and have had no problems with it until this morning. I opened it and expected my login screen to appear as it usually does and the screen remained black. The computer is running and it is warm, but I cannot get the screen to come on. I have tried holding down the power button, charging it completely, etc. Help!

I'm not sure if this can help but I will explain the problem I had and the steps I took to resolve it. As with many reported MacBook Air start up problems reported, I went through all the reset steps recommended. It started when playing a video that the video froze with a repeated audio playing. After shutting down with the power button I had a hard time booting up the computer. Symptoms would be power on light on with blank screen or power light on with gray screen. My computer would not complete the boot sequence. Then I reset the computers PRAM, SMC and even tried booting in the verbose mode or single mode. Sometimes the computer would boot up and all was well until I did work that demanded more of the processor. On one of those times where I was lucky to get the computer to boot up properly, I then removed and apps or software that I installed that was always working in the background. This reduced the load on the processor.
From here I went to the "Finder" icon then selected "Applications". In "Applications" I selected "Utilities". In the upper left corner of the "Utilities" box I have two drive labels of which the first one was selected. Then the lower middle of the box I clicked on the "Repair disk Permissions" button. The computer did it's work and after a few minutes completed the repair for that drive. I then selected the second drive and did the same.
After this was done I started to use the computer heavily running videos and switching from site to site to see how the processor was doing. I also turned the computer off and on throughout the last 24 hours and had no problems with boot up. Videos are running without any problems. I also had no heat problems. I still use SmcFanControl.
I assume that the additional software I installed to run in the background was loading up the processor to the point of creating more problems. The repair disk feature had cleared up the software problem that was created and now my computer works fine. I do not think is was a hardware problem.
I hope this will help some of you. I have tried for a couple of years to find a solution to my problem and with many options it is difficult to find the right one.
