Battery use Mac Book Air

I have installed MS Office on my Mac Book Air (Processor 1,8 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB).
It seems the computer is using more battery in comparison with using apps like Pages, Numbers, etc.
Am I right?
Thanks in advance for answering my question.
Best regards,
Chris Ouweneel

If you bought it for another Mac and still have that Mac, you can use its optical drive as described in the article I linked to. If you don't have an optical drive available, you can't without either purchasing one or buying the iWork applications from the Mac App Store.

Using Mac Book air with projector

Does anyone know how to use a Mac Book Air with a projector?

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

Replacement battery for Mac Book Air

My MacBook Air is showing the "service battery" warning. I took it to an Apple Center, they ran the test and said that it needs replacing. They didn't have one in stock. So, now I am back home where there are no service centers closer than about a 7 hour drive. I need a battery and can't get one. Has anyone tried an aftermarket battery in a Mac Air. They are readily available, but I am not sure if they will have the longevity. I called Apple Customer support, and was referred to my local Future Shop. They said to just go on the internet and order an aftermarket one. Kind of useless.
Any suggestions?

be careful when you get one. I know someone who put in a http://www.ipodjuice.com/ battery and they no longer sell them. Didn't seem like they even had a replacement one in stock.

How do I add a site to the exception list using Mac book Air OS Lion 10.7.4

Any advice please?

I am using Safari to access some sites, but the pop-up blocker is preventing some sites from loading and I get a message : Add this site to the exception list
Any advice on how to do this because I don't want to turn off my pop-up blocker.

I use Mac book air and...Whenever I tried to send an email, the email was immediately put into the outbox... so i could never sd out an email!

I can't send the email, whenever i try sending an email, it is put into the outbox... How can I send an email???

Hi Ana Lo,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
There may be a few different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend when not being able to send an email from Mail. Please use the information and steps in the attached article to help you resolve this issue.

Have a great day,

Recently while sending an email I kept getting a meesage from Thunderbird to "Login failed, retry, cancel or enter a new password" I use Mac book air. Thanks

The only new thing in my environment is that I am in a hotel using their wifi when this problem started yesterday !

I've been all over the forums, the net, everywhere. It seems that there are posts from more than 3 years ago from people wanting to email mailmerge from pages to mail. Three years! It's quite terrifying the feature still doesn't appear to exist.
iWork and Pages have not had significant upgrades in the last 3 years, so I wouldn't be surprised if things haven't changed.
I simply want:
1 Data in my spreadsheet (don't care which spreadsheet)
2 Document in my word processor (don't care which wordprocessor)
3 Mailmerge emails sent via my email client (using apple mail but could be flexible)
Pages and Numbers can do items 1, 2 and half of item 3 (they can't email the documents). So you really need a way to send bulk emails and attach a document. Maybe you should look at an AppleScript or Automator action to email the letters.

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.)

Alternative to DVD player : MAC book air

i have purchased a Office Suite :mac 2012 CD and I am using MAC book air w/o externl dvd player. How can I install the software w/o connecting external DVD.

Hello Niel,
Is there no way I can do this without buying yet another thing?? I need to get some software (MaxQDA) which was supposed to be coming out on Mac but seems to have been delayed until later in the year. This means I now need to purchase windows, purchase the software (rather than getting it free from the university) and by the sound of it I now need to buy a drive just to download it...It's very frustrating.
Thanks for your help anyway.

MAC BOOK AIR Unusual Data Consumption by Mountain Lion OS

Hi,
I am using MAC Book Air and my OS is upgarded to Mountain Lion. After upgradation I am facing a problem of data consumption by my MAC all the time from my wifi modem, even without opening any brpwser or Mail. Kindly provide solution for this proble. Please note that all the settings in icloud is off.
Regards,
Desikachary

this never happened to Windows unless you have a virus , So is this normal for a Mac ?
It certainly can be. Free RAM is wasted RAM. Inactive RAM is as good as free RAM (it can and will be freed immediately when needed), but can be used to speed up your machine by holding cached data. As an example, suppose you quit Mail. Perhaps it was accidental (command-W is right next to command-Q), or perhaps you forgot to look at something you meant to look at, but in any event, you re-open Mail. It should pop back open very quickly, because everything is still cached in RAM.
So, in other words, don't worry about it. Even if you were having a problem, the source would be elsewhere.

Face time has stoped working on macbook pro and mac book air

Its been a week and Face time has completely stopped working on my Mac Book Air and Mac book pro,
I have I PAD 3, I PAD 2, I phone 5 , I phone 5, MAC Book Air Core I 7, Mac book Pro 13" core I 7, using all of this some of these devices which are in India also I am using some to communicate with my family using Face time,
just a week Ago my wife was trying to call me using face time and she couldn't connect, she tried and when she calls i do get call but as soon as I answer it said failed and call ends, i though some thing may be wrong with connectivity , but then I asked her to use i pad instead mac book air to do faceting and it worked from i pad to i phone, but she couldn't call using Mac Book Air to I Phone. I thought the ID may have some problem in mac and i asked her to log out and re logging, and there you go, she couldn't even sign in back. i was thinking what's wrong and i came home and started my mac book pro to see what's wrong by logging in to her mac book air using team viewer but before doing that i though lets just cal from my mac to her I pad and then i couldn't even call so i tried to log out and log in and its a same issue i cant login either.
now its been a week i cant log in to face time in my mac neither my wife on her mac book air. when we use ID its says check your network connection, where my net is working absolutely fine as i am using face time from on I pad and i phone.
i think Apple may have stopped Face time for MAC users.
so i can confirm the problem is only with MAC BOOK .
if any one has solution for it, or any feedback that when it will start again, please advise as I need Face time to be working in my mac.
Many thanks in Advance for looking in to my topic.

Can I leave my mac book air plugged in all the time at work, without damaging the battery?

I know people may have asked this questions many times, however I intend on using my mac book air at work and would like know I I can leave it on powered on in the office and the unplugged at night?. Would it damage my MacBook?

Yes. It will not damage the battery. You do not need to unplug it at night. If you use it from the AC charage all the time, then about once every two months you should use it on battery power until the battery drops below 20%. Then fully recharge the battery after which you should allow the battery to "rest" for about one hour. It is OK to use the computer during that time but do not yet connect the AC adaptor. Follow this practice and your battery should have a good life.
