Hi, can i use my macbook air as a display for my PS3?

Hi,
I want to connect my PS3 to my macbook air as its display.  Is it possible?
If it is. what cable do i need?

It can actually be done, yes. You just need an application called "type2phone", which is available in the Mac App Store. Note that it does cost $5 (kinda steep for a novelty).

  • Can I use my Macbook Air with my apple TV?

    I have just purchased and Apple TV box to use with my phone and Ipad. I was just wondering is i can also use my macbook air (late 2010) with it as well. I can stream my itunes through the apple tv and play all my songs but i was wondering if I could mirror the screen onto my TV. I am useless with all the macbook jargon i have seen in other posts so need some simple help. I am operating on Lion 10.7.5. I have read that nwer software could help but i would like to know for certain before purcahsing the latest software.
    Thank You

    Yes, but you must update to OS X Mavericks using the Mac App Store. When you do, you will see this icon in the menubar:
    I hope I solved your question.

  • Can I use my Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with plugging charger even at 100 % battery full charge?

    I can't decide whether using My Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with charging power adapter connected even though it is fully charged Or using Macbook Air with unplugging charger after fully charged. Please advice me to maintain my Macbook's battery at good condition.

    It will not hurt it as long as you do not leave it on the charger for an extensive period of time (say, days).

  • How can I use my rMBP as a secondary display for my iMac using thunderbolt?

    Based on this thread, it's not possible: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19207767
    But, I'm stubborn and refuse to believe that. Maybe they've released a software update (e.g., in Mountain Lion) that has since made this possible? Maybe there is an app that allows for this?
    Note that I don't want a solution that involves network hacks... this is at work, and I'd rather not slow down the network for others. And I'm not interested in the reverse setup (i.e., using my iMac as a secondary display for my rMBP).
    iMac: 27-inch, Late 2012. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB. OS X 10.8.4.
    rMBP: Retina, Mid 2012 (15" I think). NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. OS X 10.8.4.

    It's not possible. You can use the iMac as a display for the MBP,  but the reverse is not possible. The MBP does not have Target Display Mode as a feature and no third-party app nor hack can enable something that doesn't exist. The only way to accomplish this will be one of the network solutions.
    Regards.

  • Can I use my macbook air to view video from my camcorder

    I have a Panasonic HDC S9 HD digital vide camera, which has a mini HDMI port to coonect to an external monitor to view playback directly from the camera
    I have a Macbook Air 13" bought 5 months ago
    I have bought a thunderbolt to HDMI cable and have used that to connect the Air to the video camera via HDMI
    But I dont see how to see the playback from the camera on the air.
    Any ideas?
    I am hoping that I am not about to be told that the Air will only export video via the thunderbolt port and will not allow video IN to show on the Air screen... please help?
    Many thanks

    Thanks SP
    But I need to do something more immediate than that.
    One of the things my partner does is to advise her clients on their presentation skills. So she wants to video them doing a presnettation to her, and then immediatley play it back so they can both look at it whilst she critiques it.
    There is no time to transfer video files and move between aplications.
    If we connect the video camer via HDMI to the TV, we can play back clips on the TV directly from the camera - no need for data transfers
    What I want to do is use the Air as the TV monitor for this playback so she can do this on client site in any room with her own equipment - not needing a TV
    I had hoped that buying the thunderbolt to HDMI lead would enable the Air to act as the out put monitor
    But I cannot see how to get that to work

  • Can I use a macbook air for the screen when using a mac mini?

    No. That feature is only available on iMacs.

  • Can I use the MacBook Air Superdrive as an external CD reader?

    Simply put my MBP's optical drive is shot and I don't have the £200 odd that is needed to repair it. So for now I've considered an external option and was told that I could use the MBA superdrive. However on plugging in, nothing happened, attempted to put in the disc and it was like there was no power in it.
    Does anyone know whether it can be used as an external option or is the MBP finicky and will only read one drive at a time?

    No, the Air Superdrive will not work for you. Sigh, i could have saved you the trouble of wasting money.
    What you need, and what would work better is a Lacie Portable Firewire DVD+/-RW drive, which only costs £99 (including VAT or £85.02 ex. VAT, i assume you are in the U.K), and plus it also comes bundled with Toast 8 Titanium.

  • Can I use my MacBook Air as a keyboard on my iMAC?

    My new iMAC arrived with a USB keyboard that is dead. Bad USB ports ruled out, until I receive the new USB keyboard can I use the MBAir as a keyboard? If so, how? thanks.

    Thanks for the prompt reply. Understood, Airbook & iMac both computers. No Apple store around just resellers, defective keyboard being replaced by Apple via mail. Appreciate your help.

  • Can I use the macbook air superdrive with my non server mac mini?

    I recently removed the optical super drive from my early 2009 mac mini to switch to a 2 HD setup.  I have an opportunity to get a macbook air superdrive (external) for a really good deal, but I am unsure whether or not it will work.  The specs say that it will work with a min that has no optical drive, but does it matter if I removed the drive myself instead of buying the server version of the mini?

    Ahhh, you did not say that you don't have one yet. Perhaps you should csll an Apple vendor in your area and ask. Although it is supposed to work with a Mini, I don't know about a Mini from 2009 since the optical drive was not released until the 2010 MBA came out, I believe.

  • How do I use my Macbook Air with a display?

    I wish to use the display with the Macbook Air. The screen on the MBA is too small for home use so I want to use the display instead. How do I do this? It's awkward to type on the MBA keyboard and then look at the display next to the MBA.
    However I want to keep the MBA as my main computer because I like to use the MBA outside my home a lot. So that is why I do not buy an iMac.
    I also do not want to go to the trouble of syncing a Macbook Air and an iMac.
    I figured if I can use the hard drive on the MBA and then use the cinema display to show everything like my LCD screen that would be great.
    How can I get around the problem of awkward placement on my desk?
    Can I buy a keyboard and will that prevent the need to type using the MBA's keyboard?
    I plan on replacing my old MBA with the new MBA that has two USB ports.
    Will the separate keyboard and display fit into a USB hub? I need to keep one hub free on the MBAir for the USB ethernet.
    Is it just a matter of plugging the cinema display and keyboard into the MBA and then just typing away, using the MBA's hard drive?
    I do not know how this will work.
    Thanks for any explanation.

    Yes.

    There are two USB ports on the display. Use one for ethernet and one for the keyboard (a USB mouse can plug into the keyboard).
    Is it just a matter of plugging the cinema display and keyboard into the MBA and then just typing away, using the MBA's hard drive?
    Yes. Or you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse.

  • Why can't I shut macbook air when cinema display is connected?

    I just upgraded from an older MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air.  I have an older Cinema Display that I want to use with the new MacBook Air.  I can get the Cinema Display to mirror what's on the macbook air screen, but I would like to be able to shut the MacBook Air and just use it like a desktop computer when its connected to the display (I have an apple bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse).  Every time I shut the MacBook Air it shuts down and the Cinema Display goes black.  I had no problem getting it to work the way I wanted with my old MacBook Pro.  Any wisdom on this?   Thanks!

    Is the computer connected to AC power?

  • How can I use my iMac6.1 as a display for my MacBook Pro

    I have a relatively old iMac 6.1 that I would like to use as a diplay for my MacBook Pro:  any idea of how I can do that and what connecting cables I would need?
    Thanks.
    Vittorio

    Unless the MBP has Thunderbolt you can't use the iMac as an external monitor unless you get ScreenRecycler. If the MBP does have Thunderbolt you need a Thunderbolt cable. Because Thunderbolt is so new finding a cable could be quite a challenge, you may want to contact Lacie and see if they can sell you one other than that I have no idea where to find one now. 

  • Can I use a 2009 iMac as external display for 2007 macbook pro with DVI port only

    I have a late 2009 imac with minidisplay port and  a 2007 macbook pro with DVI port. I connected a mini diaplay port to DVI cable but all I get on the imac is a blank screen when I press F2. Can I use the imac this way?

    I'm not sure if it works with DVI but your late 2009 must be a 27". Try Command-F2 or Copmmand-Fn-F2
