Can older charger be used with MacBook Air?

Can older charger be used with MacBook Air? Charger with cylindrical magnetic male end was lost. Charger for older white plastic MacBook is available, but is it safe to use with MacBook Air.

You have to use the right power adapter.
You can order one from Apple store.

Can't connect my iphone with macbook air

Updated both my iphone 5s and my MacBook Air with latest software and was so excited to start using handoff, but it´s just not working.
Maybe there´s someone who can help me and guide through all this.

The following may help (although many are still having issues): Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite
One thing that has been a source of confusion is people are attempting to pair the phone and Mac via Bluetooth. You cannot do that. Bluetooth needs to be on for both devices and they need to be in range but you cannot pair them. Here is an excellent article about that: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

Charging iphone 5 with macbook air

Hello,
I cannot charge my iphone 5 with a macbook air over USB lightning cable. The macbook air says that too much current is drawn and the USB is shut down.
Is there any way to get the iphone charged at macbook air?

I tried both ports with no success. The MacBook Air is connected to the power supply and 100% full.

Which cable to use with macbook air

I need to do an extensive download. Right now I'm on our wirless network here at the house. I need to use a hardwire connection to our modem to decrease download time. Which cable do I need to connect to the modem? BTW we are on Comcast.

You need an ethernet cable, however, the MacBook Air does not have an ethernet port so you will need a USB to ethernet adapter or a Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter.

Can 10W charged be used with iPhone?

Maybe it is a silly questions, but I hate to have to log around a bunch of adapters?
Is it possible to use the 10W charger for the iPad and the iPhone
or should I just use to the 1A charger that came with the iPhone?
Regards

The Geniuses at the Apple Store told me that you could charge the iPhone with the iPad adapter. I, of course, was more interested if my vast investment in iPhone accessories for charging could work with the iPad. On that point I got answers from "No" to "I don't know" to "yes, but it could be kind of slow". From what I've read on here, the last answer is the correct one.
I always charge my phone through a USB port (my iPhones charger is still neatly shrink wrapped in the original iPhone box) on my computer or car. I think I'll do the same with my iPad.

Compatible External DVD/CD Drives for use with MacBook Air

Hello all,
I'm after buying an external drive and was hoping we could put together a list of compatible drives as I've read on other forums that not all are compatible.
Please no links as they tend to expire but rather just list the make and model of the drives.
Thanks,
Jompet

Sorry, but that's not correct. I got the white version:

How can I plug into ethernet with MacBook Air?

I can't keep a wireless internet connection long enough for a 778 mb iPod update update.

I was traveling and there was no wifi in my hotel room. So, I looked up the address of my nearest Apple Retail store (on my iPhone of course) and drove over and bought the USB Ethernet Adapter captfred just mentioned and, like most things Apple, it worked right out of the package. First time.
I've needed to use it more than once, and it was worth every penny.

Can I use my Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with plugging charger even at 100 % battery full charge?

I can't decide whether using My Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with charging power adapter connected even though it is fully charged Or using Macbook Air with unplugging charger after fully charged. Please advice me to maintain my Macbook's battery at good condition.

It will not hurt it as long as you do not leave it on the charger for an extensive period of time (say, days).

HT4106 I have a camera connection kit for my ipad 2. Can this kit be used with my new ipad air?... If so what adapter is required please

Camera connection kit for ipad 2. Can this kit be used with ipad air and if so what adapter(s) are required please

You can try the 30 pin to lightning adapter but I'm not sure if that'll work. So if you get it to experiment, make sure you can return it. Apple does sell a SD to lightning adapter for the newer devices. So that should be a sure bet. The main downside is that your 30 pin camera kit came with both USB and SD for 29 and now the USB adapter is 19 and the SD adapter 29, so more expensive.
You may want to look into third party adapters, but make sure you use a reputable manufacturer (ie not a cheap no-name off amazon) because iOS7 brought with it software that looks for a signed chip in the adapter. And a chip is 'signed' when a company gets apple's permission to make accessories. I would suggest sticking with companies like Belkin, Kensington and Targus. They seem to be of a better reputation when making things and would have a signed chip.

Remote with macbook air

can apple remote using with macbook air?

No you cannot use it as the new Air does not have an IR port.
So we have a great notebook, very slim and light - perfect for presentations. It just does not support the remote anymore - what a stupid decision!!!
You might recommend to buy a third party product which works with bluetooth. When doing so, you forget the following:
The original Apple Remote has a GREAT feature. You can pause a movie or flash animation which is placed into a slide at any time by pushing the PAUSE button. This is extremely helpful to explain something which is happening in your animation. This feature is gone now and this is a shame.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thank you!!!

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

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 want to use my Macbook Air 2011 as an external disk for my iMac 2011. I connected the two with a Thunderbolt cable and when starting the MacBook Air I pressed "T" and it worked except with Office documents. Can anybody help?

I want to use my MacBook Air as an external disk to my iMac. I talked to Apple care and we solved it by connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the two computers. I then turn on the MacBook Air while pressing the "T" and it works. I can sit and work on my iMac and grab/change/save the files that are in my MacBook Air EXCEPT for the Microsoft Office files. I called Microsoft and they can't solve it. They say it might be a problem with the Thunderbolt cable. Has anybody have this problem?
Both computers are 2011 and they both have Office 2011.
Thanks in advance,
Alejandra

For Word it says "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, /)"
For Excel it says "the file could not be found. Check te spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure hat the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.
I tried this with many different documents, and I always get the same message.
