Cracked screen internal Macbook Air use as office

Dropped something on the top closed my screen... it's now broken and unusable.

I intend to use the Macbook Air as a computer "desk top" and connect to a monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse.

I have a Macbook Air early 2014, consider using

Acer - 19.5 "LED HD monitor - black

What cords/cables do I need to make this possible?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Depending on the monitor inputs, you would need an adapter VGA or a DVI adapter.

  • Macbook Air using with mouse, keyboard, and external display?

    I want to put in place a more ergonomic work station. Can anyone recommend how I can configure my Macbook Air 13 "to use at home with an external monitor as well as an external keyboard and mouse? What is the easiest and most cost-effective way? Is a necessary dock if I buy a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, then simply plug the monitor each time? Could I use this set up with my macbook screen closed? I bring my Macbook to every day, so it must be easily plugged/unplugged. Thank you.

    A dock is not necessary. If you use a USB keyboard and mouse or a BT, it is up to you. I use a BT Magic Mouse and Apple keyboard in my office. That leaves just two things to plug: monitor and the power cord. When you use an external monitor as primary monitor you can close the lid of the computer and it will not go to sleep.

  • How can I connect two screens for MacBook Air (mid-2012)

    I have a macbook air (mid-2012) which, according to apple, can support two external displays.  I have an external display connected to the thunderbolt port, but may not know how to connect to the other?  The mac has only a thunderbolt port?  It has two usb ports.  Is there a thunderbolt display port separator that works with this Apple?  When I look on amazon I see some who make the separation, but they say that they do not work with the Mac?  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

    You can daisy chain a thunderbolt cable from the first screen to a second screen to support both with port of a sudden lightning. Reported here.

  • LaserJet P1102w: Printer 'offline' since the upgrade to El Capitan on MacBook Air - using the USB cable connection to print

    Updated the MACBook Air to OS X 10.11.4 El Capitan.  In this process, my printer disappeared.  Apple support had to intervene to get the printer view and print - that was yesterday & took 1.5 hrs.  Today, I tried printing and get the error "offline."  I went through the steps of unplugging the printer and Router 2 x, but always 'offline' message.  Help please!

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have some problems with your Mac OSX 10.11 for the Laserjet P1102w printer machine printing. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    1. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    2. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
    3. Click on reset printing system.
    4. Click on the button "+" in the lower left corner of the screen.
    5. Select your printer from the list.
    6. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.
    7. Click on Add.

    Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to print, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • Use the MacBook Air as a second screen for iMac running Windows 10

    is it possible to use my MacBook Air running El Capitan as a second screen to my iMac with 10 Windows under Boot Camp? I have to use the iMac for work and wants to extend the screen of my MacBook Air. I couldn't find solutions, as target display mode does not work in Boot Camp.

  • Flickering screen using Fusion 5.0.3 on no later than 2013 (Haswell) MacBook Air


    Hi all

    I just got one of the new air of MacBook Haswell-based and have installed the latest (5.0.3) on Fusion to run Windows 8 (x 86).

    It installed fine, but now I have a large dark area flicker on the lower part of the screen. Even if I run in windowed mode, flicker extends

    from the left edge to the right edge, but sound only half the screen height.

    I first thought the MacBook Air was faulty, but it only started when I tried to run Win8 molten.

    Also the flashing stops as soon as I switch to another Mac app and then comes back if I switch back to the merger, it certainly seems to be

    related to the merger.

    Everyone knows this?

    Thank you

    Charles

    The unfortualty even happen on macbook pro... you need to disable hardware acceleration and is better...

  • Office 2016 on MacBook Air (mid-2013)

    I'm new to Mac and bought a MacBook Air 11 "(mi-2013)"

    I'm considering now the office 2016 but the specs on office.com said requirment is 4 GB of RAM, which is what I have.

    Office 2016 will be slow if I have several windows open?

    I work usually with up to sessions of the word/PP and a bit of Internet.

    If your Air of 2013 has 4 GB of RAM, then consider that OS X El Capitan will need this amount for any reasonable performance for himself. If you try to open multiple desktop applications 2016 simultaneous with several tabs of the browser, your Air will begin to swap memory on the disk to host, and your Air considerably slows down.

    You will need to show restraint on what simultaneous applications are launched, and it will be more limited than what you expect.

    An Air of 11 inches will help for the screen space with all open applications without the use of an external monitor.

  • MacBook Air 13 inch screen keyboard brands

    I just bought a macbook air for the College and as anyone who has already purchased an expensive product, I want to take good care of it, then it will last me a good amount of time (at least until I've finished law school). After some research on the web, it has come to my attention that the keyboard can scratch the screen when the laptop is a full backpack (quite a typical scenario in the lives of students). Should I put a cloth Microfiber between the keyboard and the screen when I close the laptop or should I invest in a screen protector or is my stupid just afraid with no. anchor in reality? Thank you in advance!

    Do not use Palm or Cap covers on a MacBook Pro with Retina - Apple Support display here, is what Apple thinks about it actually, I guess that the cloth would increase the pressure and it can cause more damage, especially if it's the MacBook Air. And I also think that a cheap and quality product should not damaged so easily. Worry is not about this, your MacBook is self-sufficient
