Display questions from VM of Macbook Air to MBP Pro 15 ", too small to see icons

Hi all

I'm a pretty low end user of the merger, so I apologize if this is too basic.  I have search the forums for about 30 min, but have not seen this issue.

I mainly use Fusion to launch some complex Excel sheets.  The leaves are stored in Dropbox.  My Macbook Pro 15 "with the latest Fusion running XP (old).  My new Macbook Air has a similar VM with Windows 7.  I wanted to copy the VM MBA with Win 7 for the MBP, so I could have the latest OSX, but not have to reinstall everything (I don't have Microsoft Office discs, these applications have been installed at work).

I copied the folder 'Virtual Machine' the MBP.  I opened the virtual machine and on the commissioning got a message about incompatibilities to display.  Everything works fine, but all the icons are tiny.  My eyes is fine, but I can barely see them.  I went into Control Panel and make the largest desktop icons, but when I open Excel, everything is tiny here also.

Is there another way to do this?  The MBA has a screen of course smaller than the MBP.  I'm guessing this has to do with it.

Thank you

The MacBook Pro has Retina Display?  If yes then ensure that in the Virtual Machine settings under display that "use the full resolution for the Retina display" is not checked.

  • Is it possible to cast from an Apple MacBook air to a desktop apple no?

    Hey guys,.

    So I recently bought an Apple MacBook air for my final year of University. We have weekly presentations and I was wondering if it is possible to presentations of casting, or still the MacBook (mirror to detect) screen on your windows desktop, as it is the operating system they have in the classes. I know that it is possible using a smart TV, but everything we have in the classes are the windows on desktop computer connected to a projector.

    Thank you very much!

    Keynote can export a presentation in PowerPoint format for use on a Windows PC. I've used this for years when I was still in my presentations.

    If you move the cable from the projector from the PC to your Mac which should allow you to make the presentation directly from Keynote on your Mac.

  • These last questions w/eBay font size. Fonts page summary now too small to read.

    eBay policies is always displayed correctly using IE. BUT little by little, eBay police changed the size of font within a given page of eBay. 'My eBay' a 10 drop-down selections. These 5 are OK: offers/offers, Watch List, purchase history, my Collections, Messages. These 5 police being so small almost invisible: summary, wish list, all the lists, sales, followed by research. If all goes well, a fellow eBayer is to see these changes too.

    I'm guessing that eBay programmers have been tweaking Internet Explorer to correctly display the fonts on all pages, as Internet Explorer has had its own problems of font size of eBay in the past. But now using Internet Explorer looks good! However, at the same time, Firefox has really gone South. My guess is the tweaking of the IE has destroyed now possibility of FireFox to display the font correctly sizes in eBay. Ask me questions if you see what I see. I can send some screenshots. Thank you, Tom Smiley

    Two other thoughts:

    (1) Firefox allows you to select a font size minimum for all pages. It can destroy a large number of provisions, so usually it not very useful, but if the fonts are unreasonably tiny, you can try it.

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content > button "Advanced".

    The top of the page, set "fonts for: Western ' and then about halfway to the bottom of the dialog box, change the Minimum font size to 9.

    At the top, the value ' fonts for other languages: ' and repeat the process. And then click OK.

    Which enlarges the tiny fonts?

    (2) there are scaling of the problems with the new screens of more-than-the-full-HD, especially when the site uses the Flash plugin. If you have such a screen, you may lodge a complaint with the site, so they can update their Flash media.

  • Scan to file on my MacBook Air.

    I have a Brother MFC printer/Fax/Scanner.  I am able to print successfully, wireless from my new MacBook Air, without fail.  However, when I try to scan something and save it in a file on the MacBook Air, the printer cannot identify my new computer.  Being able to attack a digitized file is important for my business.  Any suggestions?

    Any suggestions to what you tell us the model number of this Brother MFC, so that we can check if current support OS X printer driver is implemented to support scanning. That offer your manual from the Brother printer in which is the configurations of scanning on OS X?

  • How can I transfer the mail, Safari, iTunes, etc of my 2008 MacBook running OS 10.5.8, a new MacBook Pro (with Ethernet port) or a new MacBook Air?

    I replace my 2008 Macbook which maxed out at OS 10.5.8, with a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.  The Pro has an Ethernet port, the Air is not.  I want to transfer all the data from my application (mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.) for the new Macbook that will run El Capitan.  How can I do?

    What machine you're leaning towards? With Air, you have to use ether WIFI or have the old drive on an external drive configuration. With a new Macbook Pro, the simplest method is to use the migration assistant. Access your Macbook in public services and to see, there you have it. Here is a link to what you can do.  http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html It is said Lion, but it applies the same. Here's what apple says.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350 you should know that some of the apps in Leopard will be obsolete in El Captian. There you transfer, it can cause problems. I use the thinking that if I can replace it with a download I do this. The transfer or, if there is an update for it.

  • iCloud mail makes MacBook Air running very hot and very fast battery drain

    Given that the upgrade to El Capitan and running the latest updates of my MacBook Air has worked very (almost too hot to the touch in some places) hot and the fan that has happened all the time. The battery is also in very quickly - I can sit and look at the percentage count.

    If I disable my iCloud in Mail preferences the computer messaging service cools, the fan stops and the battery stabilizes. So it must be a problem with iCloud mail. Anyone who has ideas or fixes for this?

  • Help, please!   Nothing WORKS loading Acrobat Pro XI on the new MacBook Air

    I have a new MacBook Air.  I transferred all the files of old Macbook Air, including Acrobat Pro XI.  It does not work.   I bought Acrobat Pro XI on 18 February 2015.  I still have the email and the link for the download.  The link will only now in Acrobat Pro DC.  I discovered that with the code I have for Acrobat Pro XI, I could get a free upgrade.  OK, I downloaded Acrobat Pro DC and entered my key - that should work, especially if the upgrade is free, right?  EVIL.  He said that the key is not valid.  It IS valid for XI Pro because I have it on my old MacBook Air.  I went back and found the .dmg file that I downloaded originally to install Acrobat Pro XI.  Of course, who does not work on my new computer is - says it is not valid.

    Someone else in Adobe on this forum gave me links to the windows that obviously do not work on my Mac.  I simply cannot change computers?  What kind of racket is Acrobat?  Please, someone help.  I tried to solve this problem ALL DAY.

    I'm just screwed?  Is this really how Acrobat treats its customers?

    Hello

    Howdy Yaser of zoysia,

    It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • MacBook Air 13 vs MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display

    Hello! I worked as a teacher in a dental school & I'm an orthodontist by Profession.

    So far, I was using a Windows laptop. Now, I am planning to buy a MacBook.

    I did some research and I found two best options:

    MacBook Air 13 inch or Macbook Pro 13 inch Retina display

    My work includes the drafting of documents, Internet browsing, electronic mail, preparation of presentations. We also regularly take pictures of our patients. I will also use the software of management of patients. Watch movies from time to time.

    Please help me to choose between the two options above.

    What configuration (RAM & storage) agree?

    I intend to keep the MacBook for next 5-6 years.

    I also read in some messages that some changes are in the pipeline for Macbook Air in this year.

    DR. VIKAS SEHGAL

    India

    There are always changes in the "pipeline" but we do not know what they are and we are discouraged from their review.

    If what you have described is your needs, an MBA and a MBP has them will satisfy.  As I see it, it's a matter of your preference of views respective (classic vs retina) and costs are related.  The MBA has long battery life and is lighter than the MBP, but maybe it's not important to you.

    Ciao.

    Addendum: as a general rule, install at least 8 GB of RAM and get as much storage as the bank account permits.  The processor speed is by far the less important material.

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air

    Hello

    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 cannot print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "the printer is not connected", but the display on the printer connected. I often reset the printer "EVERY TIME" I want to use. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer is not displayed on my selection.

    Hello boojoo1tw,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are unable to print most of the time with your Officejet 8600. How is the printer connected? USB or wireless? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.

    If your wireless printer, then I recommend the award of an 'IP address' by following this HP document on printer does not maintain the wireless connection.

    Please post your results, I'll be looking forward to hear from you.

  • MacBook air water damage recovery of data flash storage of air from macbook to macbook pro retina

    Last week, I spilled water on my macbook air that extinguishes immediately after that.
    It's been a week that I let it dry without attempting to start.

    Unfortunetaly, I did have a backup for 2 weeks, (of course bad luck should come at the wrong time), and I really need to get my data from the flash ssd drive.

    I thought to transfer the player of Flash ssd of the macbook air to a macbook pro retina and retrieve the data since the macbook pro retina by making a backup. Would this work? This would not damage the macbook pro retina?

    I have a macbook air early 2014, the macbook pro retina is also the same year.

    Thank you very much for your answers.

    Best regards.

    You'd better using an external enclosure of the MacBook Air SSD rather than MacBook Pro.

  • Migrate messages from the Macbook Air to new iMac 2012 2016

    How can I migrate all my messages (text, iMessage) of my Macbook Air to my new iMac 2012 2016? I have a lot of messages on my laptop and I want to migrate them to my iMac just to have them for reference/memory later. I do this because I would like to activate the monthly updating of message on my iPhone, so he won't have to queue all my messages it years ago and I am also reformat my old Macbook Air. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

    Messages and e-mail accounts and data are found in/Home/Library/Messages/and/Home/Library/Mail/files. Just copy the content to the same folders on the new computer.

    Or you can migrate your complete folder from the old computer to the new home. This can be done using the love at first sight between the two cable and on the new computer using target disk Mode use the Migration Wizard to migrate your application. It could also be run from a time Machine or another external backup drive.

    Migration will not overwrite any user account that has already been created on the new computer. MY simply creates a new Admin user account name. You will then need to switch to the newly migrated account.
