Can I use a mouse with the Macbook Air?

Can I use a mouse with the Macbook Air or am I limited to the touchpad?

I had been wondering for awhile if I can use a mouse with a MacBook air if I was to get one (MacBook air) some years down the road (probably within 20 years).
Now I know and I can.

    Sure you can use a mouse.
    Lots of good stuff in the User's Guide.

    See the section Using a mouse on p. 70.
    Try Fn + F9 to turn off/on the touchpad. See Disabling or enabling the TouchPad on pp. 68 and 174.

  • HT2208 Can I use Apple TV with a MacBook Air?

    Can I use Apple TV with my MacBook Air?
    The promotional material online doesn't make this clear but I like the sound of what' said on Apple TV.
    I'll buy one now if it works!

    In what way? You can use home-sharing to stream your iTunes library and Photos. If it's a recent MBA then you will also be able to mirror when Mountain Lion is released.

  • Can you use a mouse with an ipad air?

    We recently purchased an iPad Air.  With my wife's work, sometimes she has to access a web site from home that uses adobe flash.  we discovered a browser that allows her to access that site.  Now because of the complexity of the site, she would need a keyboard and preferably a mouse.  I know that you can sync a keyboard to the iPad using bluetooth.  My question is, can you also sync a wireless mouse to the iPad?  If you can sync both the keyboard and mouse, it would greatly reduce our need for a PC laptop.  Any suggestions welcome.

    You cannot use a mouse as it defeats the point of a MacBook. You can although have a keyboard for the iPad which allows word processing and simple things like typing emails. Hope this helps

  • Can I use a mouse with an iPad air?

    With Office 365 now available on my iPad Air, I would like to be able to use a mouse, mostly for the Excel SS's I create / use. Using a finger doesn't always work so well especially when trying to highlight sections at a time. ( my finger tends to be a little to fat sometimes and I have not had much luck with a stylist) Outside of that I can get by with a keyboard pretty well and yes even my finger.

    Try going to Settings-->General-->Accessibility-->Zoom

  • I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

    I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a mini to HDMI cable and tried to connect to the TV but the TV is not recognizing the computer. I attempted to set sound and display settings under the "my Preferences" utility with no success.  Again, I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my OS software Any Suggestions?

  • I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
    Problem:
    You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
    You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
    You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
    You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
    Solution:
    BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
    1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
    Applications : Canon Utilities
    Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
    and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
    2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
    Library : CFMSupport
    and if it didn't, move it there yourself
    THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

  • Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

    Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
    If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

    Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
    And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

  • Using an external display with the macbook air

    hi, i wanna know if i can use an external display with the macbook air as the tunderbolt is a bit pricey? i was thinking about buyin a LCD moniter wih a VGA port. many thanks

    Yes.  You can use VGA DVI or HDMI monitors by buying a  Minidisplay port to xxx adapter and the the appropriate cable (vga, dvi or hdmi).
    The MiniDisplayport adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
    Regards,
    Captfred
    Here's a sample HDMI adapter.  All these available in the Apple online store.

  • AppleWorks last ran under 10.6; I have 10.8 on the MacBook Air.  Is it possible to load a copy of 10.6 to use as a separate startup disk so that I can have access to AppleWorks on the MacBook Air?

    Like many, I have been a Mac user since the original little guy, and have tons of documents created under Claris Works and AppleWorks.  I can still run AppleWorks under 10.6 on my wife's iMac (Intel chips), but not the 10.8 that came with the MacBook Air.  On older machines, I could load and select different versions of the OS as different startup disks.  Would this be possible on the MacBook Air to be able to retain operational access to the AppleWorks software and all those files I have accumulated?

    Read these papers:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page1.html
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2522
    The answer to your question is YES: to run Appleworks on your MBA, install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 for concurrent access to and use of Appleworks in Mt.Lion:

  • Can i use a pendrive with the ipad mini 2 and access the files in the pendrive

    can i use a pendrive with the ipad mini 2 and access the files in the pendrive

    I've literally had a 50/50 success rate with drives. But even if you get it to work, all you'll be able to access are photos or videos that follow a very strict naming convention. You cannot access documents or music, and you cannot write anything off the iPad onto a flash drive.
    If you want to access photos or videos, you'll get more reliable results with an SD card than fighting with a USB drive.

  • Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?

    Hi,
    Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?  I am working with CompactRIO right now so, i want to know weather i can use Handle C with CompactRIO.Can i access FPGA in compactRIO independant of LABVIEW  means can i program it without using LABVIEW?
    regards,
    Vishnu.

    Hi Vishnu,
    Although we don't support Handel-C directly, it is possible to design your algorithms using 3rd party tools or system integrators and consume them from a top-level LabVIEW VI. The webcast at http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-268 shows an example of how you can use IP from C-based tools provided by Celoxica in the LabVIEW FPGA environment.

    Thank you

    I dont know if you can use it but as far as I know Toshiba recommend using these modules on the Tecra A4:
    PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-2M25)
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-2M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-2M1G)
    These are single channel 166MHz DDR333/PC2700, DDR SDRAM, 200-pin SoDIMM modules.

  • Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)
