One Macbook Air, multiple shares displaying in Finder?

Since installing Yosemite the Shared area of the Finder sidebar is now showing not only my Airport Extreme USB HD, but is also displaying my Macbook Air (named GSB). Okay, whatever. But it's also racking up multiples over time so I have GSB (2), GSB (3), and so forth.
I don't really care, but it's messing with my AppleTV and ROKU finding my shared movies and playing them. I have to keep removing the share from the players and re-adding it. Any advice? I know NOTHING of networking really.

Doing it again today:

    Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

  • HT4614 Can I use Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable to copy from one macbook air to another?

    Can I use Thunderbolt cable to copy from one Macbook Air to another Macbook Air?

    Of course, but you will have to start one of the Macs into Target Disk Mode, pressing T key while the Mac is starting with the Thunderbolt cable connected, so the MacBook Air in Target Disk Mode will appear on the Finder sidebar of the other Mac as an external disk, so you can copy and transfer files from and to it

  • 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).

    Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

  • Macbook air 2012 not displaying icon on the top right corner

    hi guys
    as the title, my macbook air isn't displaying icon on the top right corner. for instance, my volume icon and wifi icon disappear. furthermore, ocaasionally there some flashes on my screen. this never happen to me before and i am reinstalling my OS 10.8 right now. Anyone know what is wrong with my laptop?

    Hi Matze_Moto,
    It should not be an issue. What you are seeing is the ability to Mirror your display to an Apple TV. If you feel that there is an issue, click on the menu to see if it is actually connected to another display. Check out the article below for more information.

  • I've got a USA macbook air and i need to find alternate symbols on the keyboard

    Hey, I've got a USA macbook air and I need to find a UK pound symbol.....can you help? Thanks x

    Go>Preferences>Language & Text>Input sources
    Now go on down to "British" and check off the box for your flag there. All good? Okay, close up.
    Back to the screen. You see that little flag up there in the corner of your screen? Click on it. Pick the right flag so the Union Jack is flying in that corner. Good. Now click on the flag and pick: "Keyboard viewer."
    Now hit the shift key on that keyboard viewer and you'll see where the pound sign and other symbols now are and will always be so long as that little British flag is in the corner. Should be #3. This will save you having to do any combo of keys in order to get the British pound sign.

  • Help! MacBook Air with Cinema Display or iMac?

    I've recently been getting much more into Photography, and I would like to do more editing. The only problem is that I'm finding the screen size of my 11" MacBook Air a little too small for it. It's fast enough, but it has quite a small screen, not a lot of storage space....
    So my question is, would it be better to add an Apple Cinema Display to it (not necessarily one of the latest ones, I don't mind the older 20" or 23" Aluminium models), or should I get myself an iMac?
    I am a student so obviously I will be doing word processing and internet browsing quite frequently, but in all honest my MacBook Air does not move from my desk that much. Any advice would be appreciated! Is having a MacBook in addition to an iMac being greedy?
    Thanks!

    I'm currently sitting in my office using my MBP and looking at a 24" Samsung display. At home I replaced my 4 year old iMac with a 2 year old 13" MBP which is connected to a similar display. That should be tell you all you need to know! 

  • Macbook air multiple monitors

    Can you run multiple cinema displays on a Macbook Air 2011 version?

    According to this apple article you can have one thunderbolt display connected to a MBA.
    Other alternatives that may work (i have no idea) for more than one external monitor are (assuming you can connect them to mini-displayport/thunderbolt):
    Matrox DualHead2Go
    USB to DVI/HDMI/VGA Adapter (there are other alternative besides this one device for USB)

  • 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.

    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.

  • Trouble with Macbook Air to VGA display using miniplug.

    I purchased a plug that fits into the digital output and has a VGA female plug on the other end.  I have connected this with a VGA cable to a monitor.
    I can see about half of the desktop (the default celestial stars picture) but no desktop Icons that display on my computer.  Is there a special setting to allow the Macbook Air to output to a VGA monitor?
    Thank you.

    In the display settings you'll have to choose which monitor you want to be the primary one, the default is your MacBook Air's monitor is the default, so all the icons are visible on there and on your external monitor you can only see background or whatever windows you place there.
    System Prefernces > Displays > Arangements and drag that little white rectangle on top of one of the screens to whichever monitor you want to be the "main" monitor.
    Did this help?

  • MacBook Air Full Screen Display

    Why does my MacBook Air not go full screen when the display is set at 1440 x 900?  I have to set the display at 1024 x 640 to get a full screen display.  Thanks.

    Hi forever free,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. Depending on your model of MacBook Air (post-2010), the native fullscreen resolution should be 1440 by 900 (16:10 aspect ratio) for the 13 inch and 1366 by 768 (16:9 aspect ratio) for the 11 inch.

  • TS3408 I have a MacBook Air and suddenly Safari cannot find the Facebook server. I am out of my home country but no problem with my iPhone. Laptop was no problem either until now. Any recommendation?

    I have a Mac Air and suddenly Safari can't find the Facebook server. I am out of my home countryt but no problem with my iPhone's Safari. Any recommendations? I would like to put some pictures on Facebook from iPhoto. Thanks.

    you cannot keep up with all of the interfaces 'cause they do not even allow you to use the older os.
    You should be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion via the App Store applicaiton on your Macbook Air.   You do not have to upgrade, but it should be an option.
    I can't even get an ichat acct 'cause, help?
    iChat can use AOL Instant Messenger accounts (they are free), iChat can use Google Talk (Jabber) accounts (actually any Jabber based chat service).   And if you upgrade to Mountain Lion, you shoul be able to get an Apple iCloud account that can be used with the Messages replacement for iChat (think of Messages as being iChat renamed, with additional features).
    Oh and my battery very close to a year after buying it, which is one of the reasons I was so called to it, the battery life.  Well, having it stripped down to minimal usage, while working on nothing crazy, I could be cordless from nevver reahing 100% anymore, just under that, but gets to 20 percent in about 3 hours. No audio, no video, light low, it bothers me anyway.  Please, this is also a huge problem.
    Every battery today, has a limited number of recharges (not just Apple's).   Depending on how many times it has been recharged, will affect how much power it will eventually hold. <http://www.apple.com/batteries/>
    I know that generally after about 2 years of use (my use, not yours) I find that my batteries have very little life left in them (I frequently have my devices plugged in, so running fully on batteries only is most likely less than yours).
    You can have your battery replaced by Apple (for a fee) or by an authorized Apple repair facility.

  • Macbook Air 2008, LCD display nothing but grey, external display works

    Hi Everyone,
    I've got a 2008 Macbook Air running 10.6.8 on a 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 with 2GB RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. About a month ago something went wrong with the logic board - the unit wouldn't start up and gave 3 beeps indicating a bad RAM issue. Since the RAM is soldered directly to the logic board and the warranty was way past expired, I figured I'd just replace the board. The replacement was a breeze, albeit time-consuming, and once I got the new board in, the unit booted up fine.
    The problem is that now the display isn't quite working right. When it first boots the screen is completely grey - I get no spinning disc, no apple, no question mark, nothing. If I leave it alone, the screen dims once the sleep timer kicks in, but it's just a darker shade of grey. The brightness works too - when you reduce it the screen does dim but there's still no picture. The kicker is that I hooked up my projector to it and I can my desktop as I should. I tried resetting the NVRAM, ran disc utility, and tried running the Apple Hardware Test. The thing with the AHT is that I can't see the screen when it's running so I don't know exactly how it went, but in System Profiler I see that an AHT was run today and the result was "Passed". I don't know if that means no errors came up, or that the errors that did come up weren't problematic enough to fail the test.
    I was very careful in replacing the logic board so I doubt any of the internals were damaged in the process but everything seems to indicate a hardware issue here. The screen was working fine before the previous logic board died so I find it hard to believe that both the board and the screen died at the same time. I've read about some people finding the data display cable to be the problem but no amount of fussing with it causes even the slightest change on the LCD display.
    Any suggestions of how to diagnose the screen and/or cable without a working display? I just put $300 into this machine in the logic board and I really don't want to spend even more to replace the screen/cable.
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Hi Marat,
    I appreciate the quick response but I doubt the machine is completely toast - it clearly still functions to some degree. I'm trying to assess whether the replacement logic board could be the problem (and how to test this) as well as troubleshooting the issue if it isn't the logic board. I don't feel like getting stuck with a $300 logic board that might have a fried component...
