External housing for disk for Macbook Air
I use my Macbook Air to 2015 and wants to connect the hard drive of my Macbook Air of 2012 as an external drive. Both drives work on OSx Yosemite.
I want hot swap capabilities and a USB or Thunderbolt 3.0 connection which doubles as the power source. Can anyone recommend a compatible, affordable and easy to use external HARD drive enclosure?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

C external drive for MacBook Air
I need an external drive C ONLY for transfer applications such as TurboTax, iBank, etc disc to hard drive on the MacBook Air. Bought an external drive of C & computer recognize no more disc stuck in drive C. visit mandatory at the Genius Bar to eject the disc. Genius used Apple and immediately recognized hard drive. My very small requirement & will use player for videos, music, photos, etc. Probably use no more than 3 times a year. Intended to save a few $$$ to by not buying is not Apple drive.
I'm on the right track? Number of external market readers if some should work correctly. Now very hesitant, but he must overcome this obstacle.
Thank you
What is external drive C you mentioned? External DVD drive? It is probably not entirely compatible with your MacBook Air.
If you have another Mac that has the DVD player, DVD sharing would be best way rather than using your C drive.
Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac - Apple Support

How to move files on external hard drive for Macbook Air (El Capitan)
Hello.
I bought a new macbook air last week. I've been moving files from my old laptop via my hard drive (my ultra 1 TB WD Passport). I was able to move the correct files on the drive, but now I want to move photos and videos to my Macbook, but it won't allow me. It shows a circle of gray with a line through it, when I try to drag the file on the disk. Photos and videos are in the documents in the finder not in the photo library, I don't know if that makes a difference.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thank you

How can I connect two screens for MacBook Air?
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!
I accidentally listed the issue as resolved, but it is not. Thank you for all the advice!
Hello..
You need a hub of Thunderbolt.

I realized at some point a year ago or so, I did try and migrate directly into CS3 from my other laptop and it would not run on AIr. I don't sue him right there. I tried to uninstall all files with the Adobe uninstaller utility, but nothing happened. So I just trashed all records. I also ran CS5 Cleaner, on the traces of CS3 just for the hell of it.
Tried again to install directly from the disc via cd player external and viola, work like its supposed to. I suspect all the downloads that I had set earlier would have worked had I trashed all the CS3 files earlier on the airwaves. Thank you.

What is the difference in processors for Macbook Air?
I currently have a 2012 13-inch Macbook Pro. Its processor is 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.
I'm looking to get a new laptop, something more light, so I was watching the macbook air.
What is the difference between getting 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and 2.2 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7? Other than the extra to upgrade $170. It is worth to pay that? I'm a student, so not really rolling in money.
I'll just use it for the usual, surf the web for research and social media, spotify, itunes library, large library, some photo editing, imessage. I feel that that's what most people are doing, then what is the best for the average man?
In addition, what is the significance in storage? I'm not sure what my mac pro has, but is it worth it to upgrade to the flash 512 GB PCle - based, storage or I couldn't stick with the 256 GB?
Account of your not doing much with your mac in addition to what is its main purpose, I recommend save money for a processor and possibly buy more RAM (Random Access Memory) it helps with multitasking like surfing on the web.
It also depends on the amount of memory you want. If your photos are of high quality and there are many, improved storage isn't bad.

Why is my air conditioner for MacBook Air so strong?
There is enough RAM on my macbook air, but the air conditioning is always really hard (bought in 2014). There is no exercise more what I do about it. Train to surf the internet. I already did a Reset of the SMC, but did not help much. Thank you for your response.
There are reasons the function of air conditioning loud and clear:
-many applications are running at the same time
-play games all the time
-reading or video editing
-room temperature is hot
You have one of these reasons exist?

Edition OneOffice 365 by Microsoft for Macbook Air
I recently bought the 365 Edition Microsoft ONEOFFICE for my MacBook Air via the Apple App Store. It is slow and the window does not open or view at all. I reinstalled the app after you remove it and still work ineffective. Any advice? Should I junk app and buy directly from Microsoft...

Oh my... you have certainly poorly characterized what you bought.
This software is certainly not "by Microsoft.
Do with it as you wish.
My recommendation would be to use Apple desktop tools: Pages, Numbers, Keynote.

problem sending files for MacBook Air via WiFi analyzed
I have an Officejet Pro8600 Plus and the interface is via wifi for my MacBook Air. I am running OSX 10.9.1.
When the document or photo is scanned, it looks good in the HP control window. I can change the functions of the analysis. When I type sent by using the button on the HP screen, it sends only the left 1/2 of the scan, and it is amplified.
I tried all settings to save the document and the scanner. The only one who seems to be the computer's analysis of general use.
He did it since about September works.
I found another setting on my icon of the HP scan dock that works with fewer steps than the capture of scan/Image of Apple.
The parameter is called general purpose. It gives the same picture with all the editing options available before the analysis is sent to the computer. This little less practice with other presets are included but still retains my scan at least no.

Canon Rebel SL1 do not download Images for Macbook Air
My Canon Rebel SL1 won't download pictures on my Macbook Air. I downloaded the pictures happens countless times, but recently, whenever I connect my camera to my computer the following:
iPhoto opens and it shows that my device is recognized and import the button is grayed out. The images never appear on the screen, and I am not able to do something with my photos. I have a Macbook Air, so I don't have a disk drive. I don't have a card reader.
Please help me with this.
Thank you
-Hayley
Get a card reader - they sold abut $10 - and see if that helps. Or connect to another computer - a friend even. See if that helps.
If it is not: what version of iPhoto? What version of the operating system?
