  • 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.

  • 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 did the external drive connected to the MBA? I guess that via USB? The freestanding photos/videos or are they in iPhoto or Photos?

  • 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.

  • How can I get my macbook air to stop repetitive clicks

    I just got this computer barely a month, I purchased from best buy and this by clicking. He came to dislike. I don't know what to try, it's not an apple store where I live. What should I do? It still does for some time after I turned it off. How can I solve this problem? It's a 13 in early 2015. I took great care with her, I had a macbook in high school and I remember having heard such a noise on a few of them as well. I am a collage student and need my computer for class almost every day.

    Greetings faiffles,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that you hear clicking from your MacBook Air and you don't have an Apple Store nearby. In this case, I would advice contacting Apple Support, so we can learn more about this situation.

    I solved this problem and am running.

    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.

  • 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
