Can the Macbook Air be used as a display monitor for Xbox 360 ???

Hi Guys,
            Basically I was just wondering if the Macbook Air 11'' can be used a display monitor for the Xbox 360 due to me smashing my TV... Ooops.
I tried with a thunderbolt to HDMI socket and then plugged that into my Xbox with no luck ! If it is possible in some way could you please explain what parts are need and how it would need to be set up.
Many Thanks,
Dan

  • Can the MacBook Air work with any other type of internet connection beside wifi?

    Can the MacBook Air work with any other kind of internet connection besides Wifi?

    Who? ITS VERY important when doing a restore, in fact you DO NOT want to do a wifi restore
    The pros all have that Ethernet adapter,... that should tell you something. An Ethernet restore via that "thing" makes restoring the OSX about 8X faster.
    Its called a Gigabit Ethernet adapter for a reason.
    "who the heck" is anyone working with their Macbook Air at home and want a MUCH FASTER download / internet connection.
    *Stockbrokers who pack their Macbook Air, arrive at work and plug that "hardwired" dongle to their Air........  because even seconds in the stock market can make the difference between losing a million $$, or making a million $$
    So now you know WHY,.....before you didnt.

  • Migrated powerbook to new macbook air with mavericks and the macbook air is using much more storage

    I migrated powerbook to new macbook air with mavericks and the macbook air is using much more storage than the powerbook.

    I'm trying to figure out why the new macbook air takes almost twice as much storage as the old powerbook with the same content. 

  • Can the macbook air do everything my pro does?

    can the macbook air do everything my pro does?

    Yes but slower, depending on how old your pro is. The cpu in the air models are slower then what is in the pro models. Slower cpu mean that everything works slower.

  • Can the Macbook Air model MD760HN/B be used for developing iOS apps?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to learn iOS Apps Development and I am planning to buy the Macbook Air Model - MD760HN/B.
    My question is - Is this model fit enough to develop apps using XCode?
    The retailer says the OS is Mac OS X Mavericks, there is no version written.
    I am planning to develop using Swift Language so let me know if this is possible as well using the above stated Model Number.
    Yes, I have created an Apple Developer Account already as an iOS Developer.
    Looking forward for your valuable replies.
    I hope Mac is better than Windows (using since Windows 95) - (Hate Windows 8)
    Thanks in advance.

    This sounds to me like the MacBook Air mid-2013 model with a 13" display and core i5 processor built for sale in India.
    Yes, this should be fine for writing Swift code.
    The current Apple operating system is OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5.  If your computer comes with Mavericks installed, you can always update to the current version by opening the App Store and clicking "Updates" near the top right.

  • Can The MacBook Pro Retina (2013) daisy chain display?

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" and a Dell U2713H, I would like to use the video-out via Display Port on my monitor to run another monitor. I know that Display port 1.2 supports daisy chain, as does my monitor, but I do not know what versions the MacBook Pro is using or fi this would work. I'm aware of all of my current options of connecting displays via HDMI & TB I'm getting by with those options now, but would really like to save a TB for a hub and or Drive.
    TNX in advance.

  • Can the MacBook Air be backed up using Clone softward and an external hard drive?

    I want to find the best way for a new college student to back up her MacBook Air files.  Can she use cloning software and an external hard drive?  I'm unclear if the Air supports attaching an external hard drive.

    The computer should be cloned using Disk Utility, so no additional software is required. However, it's preferable to incrementally update the clone using backup software. I would recommend using one of the following. They each have different capabilities and features. Each can be used for a free trial period. My personal preference is Carbon Copy Cloner. All of them can make and maintain bootable clones.
    Suggested Backup Software
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Clone Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    An excellent source of external drives is OWC.

  • Can the MacBook safely be used with closed lid ?

    I'm wondering if the MacBook and MacBook Pro can be used safely with closed lid when connected to an external display. I know in the past there was an heat issue.
    Many thanks
    Frank

    It says you can, right in the manual:
    Using Your MacBook with the Display Closed
    You can use your MacBook with the display closed if the computer is connected to an
    external monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
    Important: To use your MacBook with the display closed, the MacBook must be
    plugged into a functioning power outlet.
    To operate your computer with an external monitor attached and the display closed:
    1 Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to your MacBook.
    2 Connect the power adapter to the MacBook and a power outlet. Check that the power
    adapter light is on.
    3 Close the MacBook display to put the computer to sleep.
    4 Follow the steps in the previous section to connect your MacBook to an external
    display.
    5 Wait a few seconds and then press any key on the external keyboard to wake the
    MacBook.

  • Can the new iMac be used as a display for a Macbook?

    I have a Macbook Pro with Retina Display and I wanted to know if the new iMacs which were announced yesterday will allow me to connect my Macbook to it and use it as a display.
    I know the new iMacs are not retina displays but it would be great to have additional monitor space.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Help using powerbook as wireless adapter for Xbox 360

    Ok I need help partially opening my NAT. I have a Linksys WRT54G. And I play on Xbox Live a lot. The other day I moved the xbox into my living room where our new tv is and then I hooked my G4 Powerbook up to the xbox and did internet sharing because I have no internet connection in there besides wireless. Whenever I use a wired connection on the xbox is says my NAT is open. But whenever I use my laptop it says my NAT is Moderate, and it makes it hard to get into any games. I don't want to chip out the money for a $100 microsoft adapter because I will rarely play xbox in their. So how do I go about opening up the NAT the rest of the way.
    http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/61 there is how I did it, but I setup the xbox with a static IP
    On my router I have ports 88 and 3074 open which make the NAT open on wired connection. So I am thinking I may need to open those ports on the laptop itself? I am not sure if I can open ports on the laptop for outgoing connections.
    Thanks for the help!

    A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
    If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
    Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

  • Can someone recommend a custom form fitting sleeve or case specifically for the Macbook Air 13inch?

    Hi all,
    Anyone have any reccomendations / suggestions please for a tight form fitting case/sleeve or messenger bag specifically for the MBA 13? If such a thing exists...
    I have searched through this discussion community with regard to similar queries but what I have discovered is that many sleeves / cases are more universally geared towards facilitating a number of small profile 13 inch laptops and for a MBA13 inch, this leaves pockets/gaps of air or fabric unfilled and the MBA is "loose" as opposed to being held steady which I dislike.
    Even the majority of the Apple branded cases/sleeves advertised for the MBAir appear to be useable for either the Macbook Air / Pro. I'm not looking for the hard shell Speck type cases as I prefer the protection of a sleeve/case, just that I previously had the old white 13 inch unibody Macbook and bought an incase bag which fitted the laptop in a glove like fashion. I'm looking for something that fits the bill now for my new MBA?
    Have purchased the below but dissappointed as the laptop feels lost in it...

    Ive seen and played with most all the zippered strapped cases, and most all of them are awful.
    it still ended up back at the Incase strapped case, very thin, but very well padded, well made and the perfect all around choice.
    id recommend getting a like new used one for $25 on ebay rather than $60 new.  But as you wish.
    like this :

    $20 , Incase used like new , perfect choice.
    same case new is $60

  • I have a MacBook Air and an iMac, how do I get the music on the iTunes from my iMac to be on the MacBook Air??

    i've tried using the Migration Assistant and it was supposed to download the "applications" "settings" and "others files and folders" but I can't find them anywhere in the MacBook Air that's why I can't find the music either

    If you created an account on the MacBook Air before using the Migration Assistant, it'll create a new one for the migrated files. You can also use an external drive or network to move the iTunes folder in the Music item of the Finder's sidebar over.
    Rented movies can't be moved through these methods.
