27-30" display for MacBook Air (2011)

Hi all,
Looking for recommendations for a 27-30" display for my MacBook Air (aside from the obvious choice - the Thunderbolt display).
My MBA is the latest (2011) model with Thunderbolt, 1.8GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM...
All suggestions welcomed. Any help would be great!
Cheers

Your iMac does not support TDM via Thunderbolt so you are probably using the wrong cable, 2009 iMacs do not have Thunderbolt input, therefore connecting via a Thunderbolt cable simply will not work because your iMac does not "understand" the Thunderbolt signal. However you can try a Mini-Display port cable and see if that works.
Let us know what you find out.

  • Offline Installer for Macbook Air 2011 & Mac Mini 2011

    I understand that Macbook Air 2011 and Mac Mini 2011 uses a pre-installed OS X Lion with a different build number (11A2063).
    However, it seems that with 10.7.2 , there is only 1 build number: 11C74 , as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1633 , does it mean that 10.7.2 is a unified version of the OS X Lion for all mac products?
    Therefore, would it be possible to purchase & download the Lion Installer from Mac App Store , extract the InstallESD.dmg and use it as a offline Lion installer for Macbook Air 2011 / Mac mini 2011?
    P.S. I am seeking an offline solution because the recovery partition has been damaged, the internet recovery doesn't work (error 3403F & 4403F), and the recovery disk I have created with http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433 showed an error "could not find installation information for this machine". And the Apple Authorized Service Providers are charging $150 for a simple restoration of the recovery partition.

    "does it mean that 10.7.2 is a unified version of the OS X Lion for all mac products?"
    Yes.
    "Therefore, would it be possible to purchase & download the Lion Installer from Mac App Store , extract the InstallESD.dmg and use it as a offline Lion installer for Macbook Air 2011 / Mac mini 2011?"
    I don't believe there is a 10.7.2 stand alone installer. 10.7.2 is an update file.

  • Using iMac (Target Display Mode) as an External Display for MacBook Air

    I have a Mid 2010 iMac with a 2 thunderbolt ports. I now have a brand new MacBook Air (2012 Core i5 1.8GHz with 8GB RAM) with a thunderbolt port. I have a Belkin Mini Displayport Cable to connect the two. I want to use the iMac as an external monitor for the MacBook Air. I cannot seem to get this to work. Can I do this? Do I have the right cable?

    You can do it but you need a thunderbolt cable to connect the two.  Then just hit CMD F2 on the iMac and it will enter Target Display Mode.

  • Using tv as external display for MacBook Air?

    Does anyone know how to use a 21.5" Samsung LED TV with 1920x1080 resolution as the external display for a MacBook Air A1369 running OS X 10.6.8 (broken screen)?

    I guess you have to buy a Belkin HDMI routing cable. From Thunderbolt/Display port to HDMI.
    Then plug it in to your macbook and into your tv. Then press CMD+F1 and voila.
    If you still have any problems, i like to hear from you.

  • Using iMac and the display for MacBook Air

    Evening all
    I'm trying to hook my MacBook Air up to my iMac in order to use my iMac as the Macbook's display. 
    I've just been out and bought a thunderbolt cable, plugged one end into my Macbook and the other into my iMac... pressed command +  F2 but nothing happens?
    I've also tried command + ctrl + F2...
    Where am I going wrong??
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately the instructions do not help me... They suggest that the target display should function provided that a thunderbolt cable is plugged in to each device... however, when I press Command and F2, nothing happens?
    I've tried rebooting both computers, resetting the PRAM and nothing works?

  • Problems with TV display for MacBook Air

    I currently have a MacBook Air that I am trying to hookup to my HDTV. I have a MIcro DV to VGA adapter, followed by a VGA Cable, then a VGA to DVI conversion cable plugged into the TV. When I plug it in, the Macbook Display changes, but I get absolutely nothing on the TV. I realize it might be an issue with cable conversion, but Im also wondering if there is any other way to hook this up eg. Mini DV to component, S-Video etc. THanks in advance

  • How can I reinstall EFI firmware on Macbook air 2011?

    There are only EFI firmware update for Macbook air 2011.
    I wonder if there are EFI firmware restoration usb/CD/downloads for Air? Why there are only restoration CDs for Macbook pro?

    Hi Sberman,
    I searched in that place.

    This is firmware restoration for pro. It restores the EFI firmware. It is about 30 MB.

  • Connecting Macbook Air 2011 to Epson projector for Keynote

    Hi,
    I'm trying to connect my Macbook Air 2011 to a brand new Epson (Powerlite 1760W) projector for Keynote presentations.
    I bought the recommended Monoprice mini cable from the Apple store but I can only plug it into my MBA (small squarish socket), the other end dosen't connect to the projector. It seems the projector wants a VGA cable into it.
    I'm lost. Do I still need the UBS cable between the two? Do I need a USB / VGA cable instead?
    Thanks in advance.

    Alison,
    In looking at the technical specifications (on Epson's site) for this device it would appear that you can make HDMI work - http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=V11H361120&BV_UseBVCookie= yes
    That being said, the HDMI end on the adapter and on the projector are most likely female. So you'll need an HDMI cable (the length will vary on how far the machine is away from the projector) but I suspect a 3 or 6 footer would work just fine. The cable is a male-to-male.

  • Is the Macbook Air 2011 able to run the Apple Cinema Display 30" ?

    Hello Everyone.
    So, I am about to buy a Macbook Air 2011 11".
    I want this product because of the ssd driver and the versality of such a light object.
    The things is that i work at school with a laptop, and when i come back home, i use my Apple Cinema Display on my Macbook Pro with the Dual Link dvi Adaptator (which cost me 98€ ouch !! ).
    So i read that there were kind of retro-compatibility between Thunderbolt and Mini-Display Port on the new Mba.
    Is the 2011 mba able to run my external display ?
    Thank  you.
    Nicolas.

    Yes.

  • TV for external display of Macbook air

    Is it possible to use LCD TV as external display to macbook air?
    I am planning to utilize the macbook air as both portable and station PC. When I am at home, I want to be able to connect it to the LCD TV via HDMI, and then still working with wireless keyboard and mouse.
    Is it do-able?
    Thanks

    Yes,  All you need is an MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable.

    If you have the 2011 MBair then you plug this into the Thunderbolt port.

  • Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

    Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

    Upon receiving my 2012 MBA, I removed the inCase hard shell from my 2011 model and fitted it to my 2012 unit. The fit is identical. Dimensionally they are the same.
    So, if you are asking do all of mine fit? Yes they do.

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
    They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while.  If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

  • MacBook Air 2011 Fan increased after installed mountain lion

    Hi all,
    I have a Macbook Air 2011, Intel core i7. After when I installed ML I noticed that battery go down very fast (about 2:40h) and the Fan speed RPM is about 6500 all time, but I haven't any strong operation pending or App. I have the same app open since lion (Internet, chat, jdownloader) in background (skydrive,evernote,weatherhd) the same app and background task I have with Lion.
    In monitor activity all task is from 1% to 20-30% of usage.
    Any Tips?

    I only have the fan kick in when the graphics is getting hit hard (playing games, driving external displays, etc) with crappy intel on board graphics. 
    Is your MacBook Air in a protective case, skin or having anything block the vent hinge?
    Definitely sounds like the OS thinks it needs to keep running the fan.
    You might try this smart temperature desktop widget and monitor your temperature to see if there is any sane reason for the fans to be on (they are loud!).
