Mac Book Air 11 2011 - upgrade to El Capitan or not?

My Mac Book Air 2011 has only 4 GB of memory. Should I move to El Capitan or will it slow down too?

I'm on 10.9.5 now and basically good with it.

Only complaint is the different version of the page, now that I upgraded my iMac to El Capitan.

Thank you

KC

If you have no problem with the Mavericks, then you'll be fine with El Capitan. However, no matter what you decide, I would like to add more memory to your computer if possible.

    Hi, Arghbee1.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    I understand that you are unable to AirPlay from your Mac to your Apple TV.  Here are some troubleshooting steps that I recommend to go through this problem.

    Get help

    If you do not see the AirPlay icon , make sure that your Apple TV is awake and that it meets the system requirements.

    If you do not see your Apple TV in the AirPlay menu, make sure that your Mac and Apple TV comply with the system requirementsand your software from the Apple TV is updated. Also check your firewall settings:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click the Firewall tab.
    2. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
    3. Click Firewall Options.
    4. Deselect the option "block all incoming connections".
    5. Select the option "automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections.

    If your office does not look great on your HDTV, high-definition TV could apply image quality improvements that are not the best for the computer images. Check the manual of your HDTV for more information on how to adjust your HDTV settings for use with a computer. Your HD TV could offer a more appropriate display mode, such as the computer or game mode mode. Also try adjusting the HDTV settings like sharpness, retail building and noise reduction.

    If you mirror your screen and the image correspond to your HDTV screen, you can adjust the size of the Office for the best image. Click the AirPlay icon, and then select an option under "game size desk to." If you fit to desktop size to your Apple TV, the image fills the screen HDTV but will not look as good on your Mac screen. Learn more about overscan and underscan and what you can do about it.

    If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna. Learn how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi connectivity. The manual of your router network may have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.

  • Mac Book Air boot disk is full

    My Mac Book Air continuously shows a message that the boot disk is full.  I checked and I don't have a lot of pictures or files, I use iCloud for almost everything and so I don't know what I should delete to free up space.  Has anyone else had a similar message?

    In case you're not already aware, if you have the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, everything you add to iCloud reader will have a local copy on your Mac.

    The following may help if it is anything other than iCloud drive:

  • Save pictures of the iPhone on mac book air

    Hello

    I bought a new iPhone with 16 GB 6s. Because my storage of the old iPhone 5 s is full I would like to 'download' a few pictures of my mac book air and save them.

    The advantage would be that if I make a backup of the 5s iPhone and sync it with my new iPhone 6s storage directly would not be complete.

    I know from the past with a windows pc that I have to copy and past the fotos of the storage iPhone without using iTunes etc. But I could not find a solution to do it with my mac book air. I do not use iCloud etc.

    Could someone help me?

    Thanks in advance for your prompt response!

    Wie sind die im Fotos MacBook Air sales, Monika?

    Wenn die Fotos Fotos der Mediathek sind, wahle ein oder several Fotos aus und dann die Tastenkombination ⌘⌫ (command + delete) mark.  Verschiebt das die Fotos in das Album "Last Debby".

    Danach haben Sie 30 Tage Zeit, die Fotos von da zuruckzuholen oder sie completely zu löschen.

  • set up a Brother HL2170W to print wireless for Mac book Air

    I have a Brother HL 2170W printer that is able to print wireless.  Having problems becoming it implemented.  Do not know what I do and there seems to be too many options.  Y at - it an easy way to put in place to work with my Mac book Air...

    It took me 6 years to finally make it work on Mac OS X Sierra and Win10 wireless! I used to connect to the router with the Ethernet cable.

    FORGET what brother can offer about the installation, they make unnecessary difficult.

    1. first of all use your connection Ethernet (printer with router) and mark the IP address of the printer: 192.XXX. XX. XX

    2. use any browser, type the IP address in the search bar and press return.

    3. you will be to set up printer Web page, allowing you to make changes: SSID, WAP2 password, etc.

    You will need administrator access to change settings: user: admin password: access (can also be found in 'Help')

    Better to download and install the BRM clear admin tool to find the new IP when a wireless connection for the changes to come.

    The Mac automatically finds the printer and driver.

    Good luck.

  • Cannot install Dreamweaver CS6 on my Mac Book Air. DW050 Language Pack Installation failure error.

    I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS6 on my Mac Book Air. I tried everything, but he returned with "ERROR: DW050:-Adobe Dreamweaver CS6: due to a lack of Language Pack installation.» No matter what I do, I can't get beyond this problem. I already have CS6 on my main computer and I wanted to install it on my new laptop. I can't find any information anywhere on how to overcome this problem.

    I fixed it! I closed everything that was running on my computer (Safari, etc.). I checked the applications folder and saw that there was (somehow) already an icon CS6. I put it in the trash. I then double clicked on CS6 in the downloads folder, open the installation program and this time it worked. Finally! I tried to do yesterday.
