  • Can I use my Macbook Air with my apple TV?

    I have just purchased and Apple TV box to use with my phone and Ipad. I was just wondering is i can also use my macbook air (late 2010) with it as well. I can stream my itunes through the apple tv and play all my songs but i was wondering if I could mirror the screen onto my TV. I am useless with all the macbook jargon i have seen in other posts so need some simple help. I am operating on Lion 10.7.5. I have read that nwer software could help but i would like to know for certain before purcahsing the latest software.
    Thank You

    Yes, but you must update to OS X Mavericks using the Mac App Store. When you do, you will see this icon in the menubar:
    I hope I solved your question.

    i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating.  Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,

  • Can I use my Mac to make a backup file of a MS DOS file

    Can I use my Mac to make a backup file of a MS DOS file?

    Have you verified that the mill is using FAT12?
    Do I understand correctly that the mill boots from the floppy - it has no other storage?
    If that is the case, then the new disk needs to be in the correct format and set up as a boot disk, which will not happen automatically, and I'm not sure if you can do it with OS X. The instructions on this page should help.
    If it is something you need to do a lot of, and have no access to an MS-DOS computer, you could consider installing the Parallels virtual machine software on your Mac, and setting up a virtual MS-DOS system.

  • Hi. Good morning, I intend to purchase the Photography Photoshop program. The Rs 499/month one. I currently use an Mac Air. But intend to buy a iMac in about 2 months time. Will I be able to transfer this program or continue using this on my new machine?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    Hi Scott,
    You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
    What connections does the projector have?
    Exactly which MBP do you have?
