Can i close my macbook air while using Apple TV?
I use my MBA to stream videos from iTunes to my Apple TV 2. Is it possible to set the computer to not go to "sleep" when I close the cover?
Clamshell mode may not work without a recognised external display connected but you could try:

If not can you just reduce brightness until the screen goes off to save energy using the function keys?

Thank you,Welcome to the Apple community.
No, unfortunately you cannot currently do that.
You may be able to do this under the next operating system "mountain lion", subject to any hardware restrictions there maybe. -

If it is early 2011 or newer running OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion then you can mirror.
A third party app called airparrot can help other models. -
Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?
I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Every time I close my Macbook Air and then go to use it again. My wifi is not connected, I have to go to the network diagnostics and basically find my network and reconnect every time. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
worksafe's link with the KeyChain fix is good.
This usually happens when KeyChain has two entries for the same WiFi network.
If repair did not work you can follow the manual steps:
Disconnect WiFi
Open KeyChain from Applications / Utilities and find your WiFi network entry(ies) and delete all of them.
Connect to your WiFi again. -
Close MacBook Pro while using MDP- HDMI adaptor ?
I have the Moshi MDP-HDMI adaptor. It works very well and transports audio well too.
I just want to know if it is possible to close the lid of the MacBook Pro while using MDP->HDMI adaptor ? (as in stopping it from going into sleep mode) So that it can be stowed neatly under the display unit when watching movies/presentations etc. rather than the lid having to be open a couple of inches...That can be done but there are conditions that must be met. For example, the MBP needs to be plugged into its power adapter. And then an external keyboard and mouse are needed. See here:

Hello! I have a macbook air and my apple ID is using my old email that I don't remember the password to. I want to switch it to my most recent email. How can I do this?
Change your old Apple ID using this link:
https://appleid.apple.com/
Click the blue Manage your Apple ID button.
Its password is unrelated to the password you use for the email associated with it.
If you don't remember the Apple ID password, click the Reset your password link.
I already have a new apply id that is set on my phone and ipad. I just want to switch it to that one...
You cannot change your Apple ID to another one that is already in use - in this case, the one you created for your iPnone and iPad. Decide which Apple ID you want to keep. If you need to change it, change it - don't create a new one. -
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. -

If closing your lid forces the machine to sleep, you will force TM to abort.
If closing the lid allows TM to continue, then it's OK.
TM does not work while the computer is sleeping.
Since TM usually takes a minute or less after the first backup unless you have created a large file, why close the lid?
My last backup took 1 minute 30 seconds. Hardly time to close the lid and open it again.
I'm doing a full backup so it's taking awhile.
Do people leave their external drive plugged in with TM on all the time??
For me , I'm sure once a week or so will be fine. -
ppl i fed up with my mac air while using my exchange email account, it takes ages to refresh and it doesn't send or receive instantly , no clue although that the same setting and server names has been set up on my iPhone and it is working totally fine
Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

How to close JFileChooser dialog only while using ESC key ?
Hi All,
I am using a Frame and from this frame i am calling the JFileChooser via a JButton.
and using JFileChooser ShowOpenDialog() for open and close .
while doing ESC operation my Main Frame is getting closed with JFileChooser dialog.
Can i close only JFileChooser dialog while doing ESCAPE key operation.
I Have Escape key function in Main Frame file and JFileChooser file( EscKeyEventActionIntialization)
But while debuging i am not able to catch the esc key action inside EscKeyEventActionIntialization.
I have attached the code, please suggest me , if i need to do any change .
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates

package MainPackage;

dialog.dispose();
KeyStroke stroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0, true);
JComponent comp = dialog.getRootPane();
comp.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(stroke, "ESCAPE");
ActionMap actionMap = comp.getActionMap();
actionMap.put("ESCAPE", ESCactionListener);
}You have a class that extends JDialog and has a JDialog member variable (very confusing), and no main(...) method. How is the class used as a JDialog?
To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE that clearly demonstrates your problem. Note that this should be executable and should not contain any extraneous code.

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.

Can Adobe Reader damage MacBook Air?
Can Adobe Reader damage MacBook Air?
Thanks, I have posted a couple of questions that I feel were a little dim and in fact one got a less than nice reply so I suppose I am a little embarresed to ask questions when I read the comments from you experts. But we all have to learn and I am sure you guys were less knowledgeable at the start. Hope for me yet !!!!
I did enjoy your "milk" comment. A nurse spilled a cup of tea on my Air when I was in hospital and the "M" key stopped working. Kept using the computer then suddenly after about a month the key started to work again. Shows these Mac's are tough.
Now that I feel a little more comfortable about asking, can you help with another issue I am having. When I try to download files from the internet they come in a file with everything in what looks to me like code. I therefore don't know how to install them. This is why I asked about Adobe Reader as I uninstalled it on Saturday and today have the download problem. Could A.R be the reason do you think?
Sorry for the long reply and as my wife always says "I talk to much" There I go again -
