HT5219 Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

I have a 2nd gen Mac book air with Lion. The hard disk has filled up even though i keep my data , music etc on hard drive . I used disk inspector to find where problem was and it is 20GB in the hidden files under the user directory can i resolve this ?

I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion . The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive . I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory . Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely. The data I actually keep on there is 9GB Thanks for any help

I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
I tried it out again.
I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
I watched to the end of the movie.
Then I quit Quicktime Player.
And I shut down the computer.
I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
I normally use vlc to watch movies.
Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc.
So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that.

Somewhere in the printer's documentation, presumably.
HP's model designations can be incomprehensible. Try this page:

Yes. You can install v12 on as many machines as you like, but only two can be activated at any one time. You should not be using them concurrently.

How can i buy mac book air with Arabic keyboard

how can i buy mac book air with Arabic keyboard

Nobody here represents Apple or any store. To find out whether you can buy something, you need to contact a store directly yourself. Since you didn't say where you live, it's hard to even suggest a store. Of course you can buy what you want from stores that sell to Arabic speaking countries, like

If you are in the US, you can try asking an Apple retail store if they can make a special order for one for you.

Using Mac Book air with projector

My preference is the Pro because there are more port options with the MBP.

HT3382 What if I want to connect the minidisplay port of a mac book air with the minidisplay port of a monitor? Can I use a the thunderbolt cable to do this connections?

Using mac book air (late 2010) minidisplay port and minidisplay port of monitor Monitor Dell UltraSharp de 23.8" Widescreen U2414H.
Can I connect them using a thunderbolt cable or is there a specific cable I can use to stablish this connection?
Thanks

A Thunderbolt cable won't work. Use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort, or Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort, cable.

(If you use DisplayPort, make sure you use the Input, not Output, port on the display.)

Late 2008 Mac Book Pro with Thunderbolt display: Compatibility

I have a Mac Book Pro Late 2008 (15inch) and want to buy a 27inch thunderbolt display, because in the future I will buy a mac book air (thunderbolt)...
but for now:
1: Can I use my late 2008 MacPro with thunderbolt?
1a:If yes, which functions work, which not...
1b:If yes, how to connect? I do not have any cables so far
1c:If yes, will my resolution increase on the 27inch or will I have the resolution of the mac book? What about the future Mac Book Air? Which resolution will be?
2: If I cannot use it, is there any exchange program from Apple for old Macs against new ones? (Like for cars they have)

I have a Late 2011 MacBookPro that I bought with the stock 5400 RPM HD. Before I did anything with it, I replaced it with a Momentus XT drive. In my Late 2007 MBP, I have used the original 160GB 5400 RPM drive for a few months before replacing it with a 7200 RPM (non XT) drive, and the difference was noticable, but not huge. For me, the move from 7200 RPM to 7200RPM-Hybrid was noticable, but not huge. I would say that you won't be disappointed by goign to a hybrid drive (as long as you get the 750GB version as some of the 500GB ones had firmware issues that caused nightmares for some Mac users.
Now that I look more closely, you will probably see a fairly huge jump, as your existing drive is only negotatiating a SATA-I link, where the Momentus XT is a SATA-III drive, so it will be able to negotiate a SATA-II link to get the best performance of your controller.

How do I connect Mac Book Air with HD TV No Apple Tv available

I am looking for a cable or connection from Mac Book Air to an HD TV. I ant to have the movies on the TV screen. But I don't want to buy an Apple TV.

Hey vickitaunus,
Thanks for the question. Your MacBook Air has a Thunderbolt port that can be used to connect Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. We have a few offerings in our store:
Cables - Mac Accessories - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables
You can also use our handy Cable Chooser tool in our Online Store:

Thanks,

When ACD 30" monitor gets hot, kernel_task utilizes all CPU on Mac Book Air

I've been having a problem with my system slowing down due to the system "kernel_task" taking over all available CPU (up to 150% of a CPU on my dual core Mac Book Air). I've figured out some of the parameters of the problem, and it seems related to having the Air hooked up to an external monitor:
1) It seems to only happen when the Air is attached to an external monitor, which in my case is a 30" Cinema Display (which is through a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter -- not sure if this is relevant)
2) It only happens when the monitor itself is physically warm to the touch (actually the back gets quite hot).
3) When the kernel_task takes over, and I unplug the Air from the DVI Adapter, kernel_task usually settles down (to 5 - 10% CPU utilization) within 30 - 60 seconds
4) If I plug the Air back into the DVI adapter at this point (while the monitor is still warm), kernel_task CPU utilization immediately jumps up to 130 - 150%.
5) If I wait until the monitor is cool before plugging the Air back into the DVI adapter, kernel_task stays in the normal 2 - 10% CPU utilization range for 30 - 90 minutes and the process starts all over again (at this point the monitor is usually quite warm / hot again)
Rebooting doesn't seem to help (if the monitor is hot, kernel_task starts hogging the CPU right after booting up).
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any thoughts about possible remedies, or ways to further isolate the problem?
I appreciate your reading this somewhat bizarre tale of woe.
Thanks,
Marc

After upgrading to 10.5.7 this week my MacBook Air goes into kernel_task spin-mode within minutes even when the machine is idle. There are many discussions about this, the longest of which is here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9458471&#9458471

Connect Ps3 controller to mac book air with lion, USB or wireless, as neither working. Using previous forums

Hi
Have tried so many variations from google & other forums , & utube.
But does not seem to work.
Does configure. Does add as favourite but never paired.
Makes me think can not use controller with cod 4 on mac, but all forums saying yes you can.
Don't even mind if only connected by USB but can not even do that.
Please please help, don't know where to go next.
With lion do not need another game pad companion, all built in.

I am new to mac. I have a Mac Book Air with an external CD drive. How do you safely disconnect the external drive when done without having to power off the laptop?

I know there is a way to safely "disconnect" the USB, I just can't remember what it is. Thanks

Hi kbstuckr,
Go to your Finder. You will see the drive listed with a little arrow with a bar below it next to the drive. Click on that to "eject" it.
Cheers,
