Can I bend the Macbook Air backwards?

Can I fold the Macbook Air So that the keyboard and LCD are on the outside as opposed to the apple logo and bottom of the macbook

NO.
You are likely to break it if you try.

  • HT2801 Can I use the MacBook Air superdrive with my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use the MacBook Air superdrive with another Mac, such as a MacBook Pro?

    No, it only works with the MBair and the Mac Mini.

  • Can you overcharge the Macbook Air?

    I was always told with my older PC latops that "leaving it plugged in all day will drain the battery faster" and stuff like that. Nowadays, devices such as the iDevices, PSP, Vita, and Nintendo's handhelds cannot be overcharged because the charge feature stops and the device runs off of AC...but, is the Macbook Air like that too? And since I'm asking, are all Macbooks like that or is it still bad to "leave them plugged in all day" and whatnot. I like having my Air at work with me on my desk to listen to music and movies on iTunes (no speakers on my work PC), but I'm slightly paranoid about the battery..  Thanks guys.

    Check this Web site and the links from it for everything you'd ever want to know about batteries. The short form is this: The battery cannot be over charged. Plug it in and keep it plugged in so that when you go off on the road it has a full charge. When you have depleted about 80% of the charge you'll get a warning that you are on reserve power and it is time to start looking for a power plug. Do not drain the battery 100%. While you cannot overcharge the battery it isn't good to keep it plugged in all the time. At the very least unplug it and use the battery at least once or twice a month.
    Following the above advice which came from Apple my 2009 MBP battery still keeps better than 80% of its charge and has 112 cycles used. Given its age I expect the battery will probably need to be replaced before long but I'm amazed that it is doing this well after nearly 5 years of use.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    How can I unfreeze my Macbook Air? I have tried restarting but it simply opens on the frozen email page.
    I have tried a few multople key combinations.  I would be very grateful if someone could post one that might ensure that any applications quit before re-starting.

    Try Force Quit.
    Press   command + option + esc  keyboard keys together at the same time.
    Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select Mail if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
    Wait.
    Mail will quit.

  • Can I return my MacBook Air past the return date?

    Hi, I have a question that I've been googling but I haven't been able to find an answer to anywhere. Can I return a MacBook Air past the return date to an Apple store if it is still in shrink-wrap and I have a receipt? Thanks.

    I would think you cannot return a product after the return date has passed.
    Call the Apple Store and ask them.

    how can i purchase a macbook air in Nigeria? apple has no shop in the entire country and independent dealers charge ridiculously sometimes more than double the prices of mac products without guarantee of getting it with required specifications. its sad cos Nigeria has a very large apple market plus phones and most recently ipads especially. its been frustrating trying to get a macbook, even have to wait for when someone will travel out of the country, then you send the person(thats if you have the money at that time). Please somebody help inform apple maybe they can do something about this, its really disappointing.

  • I want to use my Macbook Air 2011 as an external disk for my iMac 2011. I connected the two with a Thunderbolt cable and when starting the MacBook Air I pressed "T" and it worked except with Office documents. Can anybody help?

    I want to use my MacBook Air as an external disk to my iMac. I talked to Apple care and we solved it by connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the two computers. I then turn on the MacBook Air while pressing the "T" and it works. I can sit and work on my iMac and grab/change/save the files that are in my MacBook Air EXCEPT for the Microsoft Office files. I called Microsoft and they can't solve it. They say it might be a problem with the Thunderbolt cable. Has anybody have this problem?
    Both computers are 2011 and they both have Office 2011.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alejandra

    For Word it says "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, /)"
    For Excel it says "the file could not be found. Check te spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure hat the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.
    I tried this with many different documents, and I always get the same message.

  • Why my Toshiba mobile hard drive (1TB) can not be used in the macbook air?

    Why my Toshiba mobile hard drive (1TB) can not be used in the macbook air?

    If you are speaking of the USB 3.0 Canvio, you are not alone. Call Toshiba and check on their progress in alleviating the problem. I heard they are blaming Apple, but since theirs is the only drive that exhibits this problem, I think the burden is on Toshiba.
    Some users have reported that by using a micro USB 2.0 connector (see bottom picture), instead of the 3.0 that comes with the drive, that it is a workaround. Notice that the 3.0 connector has sort of a "dual head" nature to the construction. One part of it is 2.0 USB micro compatible. I've never tried it myself though.
    Read ths thread for a discussion on the subject.

  • Can the MacBook Air work with any other type of internet connection beside wifi?

    Can the MacBook Air work with any other kind of internet connection besides Wifi?

    Who? ITS VERY important when doing a restore, in fact you DO NOT want to do a wifi restore
    The pros all have that Ethernet adapter,... that should tell you something. An Ethernet restore via that "thing" makes restoring the OSX about 8X faster.
    Its called a Gigabit Ethernet adapter for a reason.
    "who the heck" is anyone working with their Macbook Air at home and want a MUCH FASTER download / internet connection.
    *Stockbrokers who pack their Macbook Air, arrive at work and plug that "hardwired" dongle to their Air........  because even seconds in the stock market can make the difference between losing a million $$, or making a million $$
    So now you know WHY,.....before you didnt.

    Hello, I have purchased and installed Lightroom 5 on my Mac Desktop.  I travel with a MacBook Air and would like to have Lightroom 5 on this device as well.  The MacBook Air does not have a CD/DVD slot.  How do I get Lightroom 5 on my MacBook Air so I can use it while travelling?

    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
    Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
    You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software.

  • What can I change to gain access to my work vpn.  I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers.  Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

    What can I change to gain access to my work vpn.  I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers.  Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

    You need to give us a lot more info.
    I presume the MBA and the TC are the combo that doesn't work, although you don't clearly state that.
    If the ipad and TC work.. are you sure the ipad is connected via the TC and not 3G network?
    If it is then the TC itself is fine and the issue might be setup on the MBA.. although if the MBA works with other routers.. that rather confuses the matter.
    You need to actually tell us how the TC is setup in the network. What kind of broadband modem you have and what kind of vpn you are using.

  • Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    So it can be .mp4 format.
    If not you have to convert it.
    Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.
