im trying to reinstall a laptop macbook air that i have bought off of someone aND EVERYTIME i try the little window i keep hearing about does not pop up what can i do to reinstall this asap
MacBook Air
Could you please elaborate your question? What do you mean by "the little window?" What problems are you encountering when attempting to reinstall OS X?
when i go to reinstall and i press cmd+r at startup nothing happens the computer just turns on and goes to home screen i dont even know if it has a recovery hd because i also tried to do the opt+power button and all i seee is one hard drive
What version of OS X is the MacBook Air running?
it says version 10.6.8 which one would that be the snow leopard
Yes, that is Snow Leopard. The recovery HD feature (CMD + R) was introduced with OS X Lion. Could you please give me your MacBook Air's model identifier? http://www.everymac.com/mac-identification/where-to-find-apple-model-identifiers -model-id-machine-model-for-identification.html
This should look something like "MacBookAir1,1" or "MacBookAir5,2"
its the mac book air 1,1
HHow if I don't have a cd drive
The highest version of OS X your MacBook Air can run is OS X 10.7.5. At this point you have two options.
Since you don't have a CD drive currently, you will likely want to take the second option.
