Can I Increase the DPI of the Macbook Air ?

windows xp has a function that allows you to increase the dpi of the display without changing the resolution (from 96 dpi to say 120dpi)
any resolution on the air (or any other mac) other than the defined one generally creates a screen that loses sharpness and doesn't look right
yet the 1400x900 on the air 13 creates text and icons that sre so small
is there a solution similar to what i can do on a windows xp machines (like i had 13" dell which i was able to easily up the dpi and make the screen much more readable)

+1 I would like to know is this is possible also

  • 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 increase my ram capacity on macbook air 11 inch

    can i increase my ram capacity on my macbook air 11 inch

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro with Retina display have got the memory soldered onto the logic board, so you can't add or remove memory after buying the computer. This only happens with those computers, and you can add or remove memory in the rest of the Macs

  • 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.

    Which is the best company and is it necessary to buy it from the Apple store.

    Let's clear the air here between fact and fiction.
    Brand of RAM has little if anything to do with its quality.
    A reliable vendor is more important that brand of RAM.
    Installing faster rated RAM than required for your computer doesn't result in a faster computer. The RAM still runs at the speed of the system's memory bus.
    Installing slower rated RAM than required for your computer will make the computer run slower.
    Using faster rated RAM is a tricky business. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not work. This may be due to other factors related to your computer's memory bus speed and clock speed as well as other characteristics of the RAM such as CAS Latency (CL.)
    The reliable thing to do is use RAM that meets the specifications set for your computer. That information is found in either the user manual or the system specs.

    Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
    Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
    You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
    * Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    * NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

    Be sure "Scale:" is set to 100% and the 'Keep apparent font size' item is checked.

  • Can you increase the brightness of a photo in order to edit and then return to the original brighten

    Can you increase the brightness of a photo temporarily while editing in PS and then return to the original brightness.  My problem is that I want to delete some objects in my photo and can hardly see them.

    Awesome--some of my menu choices were not the same so I had to guess but I did it and it preserved the original brightness.
    My path:
    View->Proof Setup->Custom->Device to simulate: sRGB ice (bunch of nos.)->Preserve no. set on
    And Voila!  it returned me to my orignal colors and brightness and maintained the other changes I made.
    Thank you.
