- Hi @AlanYuods.I have not tried to sync with my Mac for years and did not realize fitbit still supported it, but it does seem still be available. Go to this page and click 'Download for Mac' and then follow the steps to install it on your MacBook Air. As I recall, once installed you should be able to sync with the mac's bluetooth so make sure that is turned on (used to need a dongle for older.
- Note that if your Mac has a small drive, like on a MacBook Air, the installer may refuse to upgrade MacOS on that drive, even though MacOS says there’s enough space.

Problem: I can’t turn my MacBook Air on. Download and update as necessary. Remember that not all printers are compatible with AirPrint, even if they have wireless capabilities.
Apple doesn't officially support installing Windows 10 on MacBook Airs older than 2012. But it works just fine, once installed. The question is how to do the installation...

Here's the full story (you can skip it and just read the instructions):
Wrong approach #1: Your Air has Yosemite or older. The Bootcamp of those versions actually don't care which version of Windows you try to install. So you download i Windows 10 ISO, get your reasonably large USB drive and get started. The Bootcamp assistant happily downloads Windows support files, formats the USB drive and copies Windows installation files. However, after a while copying files the process fails saying the USB drive is out of space. It is not. However, the Bootcamp Assistant formats the drive using regular FAT and one of the Windows installation files is larger than 4 GB. There is no way of pre-formatting the USB drive with exFat or making Bootcamp use anything else than FAT.
Wrong approach #2: In Mojave and later Bootcamp uses exFAT. Mojave doesn't install on your 2011 Air (it won't go higher than High Sierra). But you have a newer Mac with Mojave and use that to create the Windows installation USB drive. Installing Windows 10 on the MacBook Air kind of seems to be working, but it freezes frequently and/or blanks the screen and the installation can't complete. Turns out the Bootcamp Assistant installs drivers for the specific Mac hardware where it's run. The drivers for the newer Mac doesn't work on the old Air.
Wrong approach #3: Let's install Windows 7 and upgrade from there! Download High-Sierra (not that easy on a newer Mac since the Apple site will just redirect you endlessly, but direct links can be found on Google). Problem is that Windows 7 also has an installation file bigger than 4 GB.
Workaround phase #1: There's a built-in hack in FAT where you can split large files into chunks and fool the computer it's still one large file. Nice guy Tim Perfitt has made a Mac application that will do that for you - you feed it a Windows installation ISO and will get one back that can be copied to a FAT partition. It says it's for Windows 10 ISOs but it works for Windows 7 as well. With the converted ISO Windows 7 installs just fine on the old Air. Since you are aiming for Windows 10 you don't need a Windows 7 key, just skip the product key input. You do need a Win 10 key of course. Make sure you also create a separate Windows support files USB drive in BootCamp Assistant.
Workaround phase #2: Once Windows 7 is working, install the Windows support files installer from the separate USB drive. Then run Windows Update. Then run it again, and again and again. Run it until no more updates appear. Then run it again. Using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to update Windows 10 won't work, it will fail with an error message: an unknown command-line option [/DynamicUpdate] was specified. What you need to do is create a Windows 10 installer USB drive, open a command prompt, and run setup.exe from there. Doing that will provide you an option to not activate automatic updates (you can activate that later). Lo and behold, Windows 10 installs! Once finished, install the Windows support files again. In just 1 bapillion steps you have installed Windows 10 on an old Macbook Air.
Instructions
- Obtain a Windows 7 ISO.
- Use Boot Camp ISO Converter to convert the ISO to make it installable on a FAT partition (which is used by High Sierra).
- Use BootCamp Assistant to create a Windows 7 medium, download Windows support files to a separate USB drive and partition your HD. You have to do all of this on the computer you are installing Windows on (creating a medium on another Mac will bundle the wrong drivers).
- Install Windows 7 using the medium.
- Run Apple Software Update and Windows Update until no more updates are available. This means running especially Windows Update many many times, and manually checking for new updates until it's really finished.
- Use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to make a Windows 10 USB.
- cd to the USB drive. Run setup.exe
- Choose to change update alternatives and select not to do automatic updates.
- Install Windows 10.
- Install the Windows support files from the separate USB.
- Profit!

Start up from macOS Recovery

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:
- Apple silicon: Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window, which includes a gear icon labeled Options. Select Options, then click Continue.
- Intel processor: Make sure that your Mac has a connection to the internet. Then turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold Command (⌘)-R until you see an Apple logo or other image.
If you're asked to select a user you know the password for, select the user, click Next, then enter their administrator password.
Reinstall macOS
Select Reinstall macOS from the utilities window in macOS Recovery, then click Continue and follow the installer's instructions.
Follow these guidelines during installation:
- Allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.
- If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
- If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
- If the installer is for a different version of macOS than you expected, learn about other installation options, below.
- If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.

After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're selling, trading in, or giving away your Mac, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.
Other macOS installation options
By default, macOS Recovery installs the latest macOS that was previously installed on your Mac.* You can get other macOS versions using one of these methods:
- On an Intel-based Mac, you can use Option-Command-R at startup to upgrade to the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. Exceptions:
- If macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later was never previously installed, you will receive the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
- If your Mac has the Apple T2 Security Chip and you never installed a macOS update, you will receive the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac.
- On an Intel-based Mac that previously used macOS Sierra 10.12.4 or later, you can use Shift-Option-Command-R at startup to install the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
- Reinstall macOS from the App Store instead of using macOS Recovery. If you can't install the latest macOS, you might be able to install an earlier macOS.
- Create a bootable installer, then use it to install macOS on your Mac or another Mac.
* If you just had your Mac logic board replaced during a repair, macOS Recovery might offer only the latest macOS compatible with your Mac. If you erased your entire disk instead of just the startup volume on that disk, macOS Recovery might offer only the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
