Can I connect most any DVI Monitor to a MacBook Air with the right adapter

Anybody have any luck doing this?

It should work if they are LCD, not CRT displays.  You will get the same picture on both displays.  If you need different pictures on each screen look at the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Edition.

  • HT1941 trying to connect time  apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

    trying to connect time  capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
    any ideas?

    Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
    Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
    Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup.

    I use an iPhone 4 dock but have super glued a piece of (elegant) plastic to support
    the iP5 .  It  will wave around in wind a bit without support putting strain on the

    I have also adapted an iPad dock which does have a lip at rear

  • Can i install os x mountain lion in another macbook air with my apple id?

    Can i install os x mountain lion in another macbook air with my apple id?

    It depends. If you purchase an OS upgrade it can be installed on up to 5 devices that are registered with your ID. However if you purchase a computer with that OS you cannot install it on other computers you own. The OS that comes with your computer is tied to the computer and not your ID.

  • How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

    I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
    I'll appreciate

    Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

  • I can't connect to my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro using the Apple Remote app on my iPhone 4S. Why?

    Hi all,
    I've been looking through the forums for help with this problem. There are a couple of threads with similar problems, but no solved threads and the discussion doesn't seem to go anywhere... As far as I can tell, it's been causing a lot of annoyance for many users, including myself, but it looks like the community's in the dark about why it's happening!
    I'm trying to connect to my iTunes library using the Apple Remote app on my new iPhone 4S. As you may know, there are two ways to do this:
    Connect via Home Sharing by setting up Home Sharing on both iTunes and the iPhone, or
    Connecting directly to iTunes using a four digit passcode.
    I've tried both methods, and neither work!
    Here's what happens for each method:
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap the "Turn on Home Sharing" button. I enter my Apple ID details (which are definitely correct), and get a confirmation message on my phone saying "Home Sharing is on using [my email address]. To control iTunes: Choose Turn On Home Sharing from the Advanced menu in iTunes on your computer." I then go to iTunes, turn on Home Sharing, enter my Apple ID again and get a confirmation message saying "Home Sharing is now on", etc. However, there's no connection formed between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro - the Remote app just shows a message saying "Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account [my email address].
    From the Remote app start screen, I tap "Add an iTunes Library", and the four digit passcode is shown on my phone. I select the new "Quintin's iPhone" item that appears in the iTunes sidebar under "Devices", and enter the passcode on the screen that appears. Once I've entered it, I get a confirmation message saying "Your Remote is now able to control iTunes" with an "Okay" button. Clicking the "Okay" button makes the screen and the sidebar item disappear completely. On my phone, a message that says "Looking for ..." is shown on the screen with a spinning loading wheel, but nothing happens. After a minute or two, it stops and simply says "Could not find".
    After trying both methods, I went through all of the troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1741 . Absolutely no effect.
    I should mention that I was experiencing similar problems on my old iPhone 3Gs with an older version of iTunes. I thought it might have been some kind of hardware fault and expected it to clear up once I got the new phone, but the problem is still there. It's a new phone, a new computer, a newer version an iTunes... even a different network I'm trying to connect to it on. Bizarre!
    I've even tried using the Mobile Air Mouse remote application instead. However again, the Mobile Air Mouse app on my phone can't pick up the Mobile Air Mouse server on my Mac.
    I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Anyone?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

  • I have 2 Apple Cinema LED Displays (no Thunderbolt) and a new Macbook Air (with Thunderbolt).  Is there a way to connect both of these monitor to my Macbook Air?

    I'm trying to use 2 older Apple Cinema LED Displays in a Dual Monitor configuration with my Macbook Air.   It is a new macbook air and supports Thunderbolt.

    Look for minidisplay connectors/adapters that  that fit the inputs on the display, such as this example:

  • Why can't I print a document created on my MacBook Air with Pages via a wired Lexmark X2650 printer?

    I am unable to printe a document I created on my Mac with Pages via a wired Lexmark X2650 printer. Of course, I have already confirmed that it is correctly set up and connected. Why?
    Thank you.

    TextEdit is an application on your Mac.
    Type TextEdit into Spotlight (magnifying icon top right on the menubar) to quickly locate and open it.
    It is the basic Text/Word Processor (but actually very capable) that comes with all Macs and a good place to test differences if you hit a problem.

  • Can't connect to any secure WiFi network. Help...!

    Hello,
    I am unable to connect to any secure wifi network. Using iPhone 5, Model : MD300B/A, Software : 6.1.4 (10B350). Whenever I try to connect to any secure wifi network, it says password incorrect. But it connects fine with unsecured networks. Double checked the same secure networks with my iPad and it works fine. Tried reseting the network settings and all settings. Updated to latest firmware (6.1.4). Still not working.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Madhavan

    I have the same problem. I can't connect to any password protected networks. I type in the correct password, but I'm unable to login. I don't have the option for the iphone to forget the network, because I've never been able to log in and therefore there is nothing to forget. The option doesn't even come up. Is anyone else having this problem? It is this way for 2 different networks.

  • External Monitor "shivers" on MacBook Air

    I have attached a 27" HP 2711x monitor to my MacBook Air using the mini-port->vga adaptor. The display is recognised as HP 2711 and the resolution is set to 1920x1080. Looks great.
    However, every so often (like every 3-5 minutes), the whole display 'shivers'. If I set the resolution to the next lowest (1680x1050) I get the same problem. If I set the resolution to 1600x1024, the shivering occurs constantly. If I go lower then the display settles down and works without shivering, but now I've lost the benefit of the high-res display...I'm currently writing this with the external display set to 1600x900, no shivering...
    Reading a few threads, looks like switching to DVI or HDMI might work better, so I'm going to get a dvi adaptor and try that.
    Any thoughts on what's going on?
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a MacBook Air from 2011 (2.13Ghz Core2 Duo, 4Gb DDR3, NVidia GeForce 320M)
    I read on one thread that the latest drivers from nVidia helped so I have the CUDA 4.2.10 drivers installed.

    Bought the mini display port -> dvi adaptor, plugged in the dvi and everything seems to be fixed.
    Nice crisp 1920x1080 display, no shivers...
    Looks like the signal from vga is not robust enough for this resolution.
    Solved.
