Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.

Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air? I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
Cheers

Anyone had keyboard white letters on mac book air go blotchy and clouded and in first year

anyone had keyboard white letters on mac book air go blotchy and clouded and in first year

reality check,.....
I never mentioned it being covered by Apple or by Apple care. I know such wear is owner abrasion..... however such cases are usually not abrasion rather acid skin wear,....either way though it's not a defect rather usage marks. Also very possible due to rough skin on fingertips.
As to dominic and B being wrong that it will "be fixed".. you yourself do not know that and the OP should contact Apple, given the cost of keys are next to nill and Apple cust. service is #1, nobody knows the exact answer to 'covered or not'
*you are however correct on the letter glyphs.,, the keys are inverse over opaque. however its not painted rather a screening coat.
I'm so used to seeing 100,000+ keyboards over the years that are black plastic with white silk screening. As such, the silk screen comment was my error and I actually knew better, ..
~~Regardless of these facts, ...cursing did not validate your point one iota.
correcting a minor error by cursing in a family board is beneath you and shows poorly upon the decorum you are intended to present.
Peace

Can you add memory to a mac book

can memory be added to a mac book

It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

Just pay the fee. Save the install after it completes ... could take a while and repating is not fun.
