My Macbook Air late 2010 also doesn't show Power Nap?

1. Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update.
2. Supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

Your model is not supported.

I'm not saying anything. Those are Apples constraints. Notice that you need a 2011 model, not 2010.

I suggest you argue with Apple. You have their information. It has nothing to do with the requirement for the firmware update required for all the supported models and was released yesterday.

Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

You can complain to them about it.

I am not connected with Apple. So give up on your urge to say I'm just a fanboy who will always support whatever Apple does. I'm just telling you what it is. I can't change it and neither can you. It is what it is.

That will be my pleasure. If you are an IT professional, then I'm president of Apple.

Bye bye.

From the info on Apple UK's website, it did support MBA Late-2010: http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/

But on the Apple US website, it stated differently. http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/

Anyone know why?

Bigblue that is a good question just looked and if I was in the UK my MBA would support power nap yet in the US it won't. Did they make different MBA's for England? (sarcasim off) I know they didn't but it was probably a web coding error.

I don't know. I'm from Taiwan.

It seems that that spec also showed up on their Germany site. So I assume it appeared on all their European websites.

Well mine is late 2010 too and should work according to every site except the US one. LOL. I don't care either way since I don't have apple TV anyways so doesn't bother me.

gorp,

A little friendly advice. The fact that Kappy has 154,000 "points" actually indicates that AT LEAST 15,000 people have found answers of his very helpful in solving their problems here in the forums. So 15,000 TIMES he has helped people resolve their problems. That's a lot of help.

I don't honestly know how he has the time to do it, because that's probably 50,000 posts or more, with real substantial data.

He was simply telling you what Apple notes are the machines that support Power Nap. Apple says Mid-2011 or later can support it, and your machine is older. He can't change your machine, and he can't change your policy. I'm surprised an "IT professional" isn't familiar with how computers work.

Actually, I'm not.

The UK site still shows that Macbook Air 2010 are supported :

http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/

But for it to work, the computer needs a firmware update. It was released for 2011 and later models.

For the 2010 model, a firmware update was released during the beta phase, but has not been released publicly. So either there are some bugs and a newer firmware might come later, or there were some bugs they didn't want to solve, or there were no bugs and Apple wanted to give more to users of newer machines...

In any case, if you're brave enough and like to take some risks, you can activate Power Nap on a macbook air 2010 model by following the instructions here :
