Connecting Mac and Mac air

How do u connect macair and Mac and transfer files using thunderbolt ports?

You connect it to a Thunderbolt, FireWire, or Ethernet port on the other computer and either use file sharing over a network or target disk mode(not available with Ethernet) to transfer the files.

Connecting MAC Air to Projector - which is better, hdmi, vga or usb?

HDMI is thje preferred digital replacemnt for older analog video standards, which your other choices use. It offers far higher signal and definition quality.
Apple has an adapter that is used with your Thunderbolt port/ Mini DisplayPort, if yours is equipped as such.
I've not had a problem with this. It is a Belkin.

Connecting Mac Air to TV and sound problems

I have a Mac Air 13, 2011 and have connected it to my Sharp Aquos TX using the Mac HDMI adapter, I get picture on TV and computer but sound only on computer. What do I need to do in the settings?

Select your TV as the output device in System Preferences > Sound > Output tab > click on the TV.
You can also hold OPT as you click on the sound icon in the menubar to select the output device.

Connecting Mac Air to AOC monitor

Hi
My AOC monitor (USB) won't connect to my Mac Air. When I plug the monitor, the AOC logo comes on, then nothing.
It works great with my MacBook Pro.
I read a bunch of various ideas about it (including some that say that it works fine with Air) but can't find my solution.
thanks for your help!!

You have it set up as an extended desktop rather than mirroring. That means you can drag a window from your MBP onto that monitor. It's like an extension of the existing monitor. If you want mirroring, which shows the same on both, go to Displays in System Preferences and change it.

Connect mac air to mac computer

Hi,
I want to connect my mac Air to my Mac desktop. How do I do this. I am logged on using one icloud name but the two machines have different stuff on them. I want them to sync.
Thanks

It would probably be easier to get a wireless router. Your ISP might even provide one. If you want to set up an ad hoc network to share your desktop computer's internet, this may help.

It depends on which model your have.
For video to use the HDMI input:

Help in order to connect iMac and macbook air

please could u tell me how I can connect my iMac and my macbook air in order to exchange document or file. Thank you

You don't specify the particular models of iMac or Air.
With that in mind I can only guess. My guess is that they are both the current model, both with Thunderbolt.
In addition to the above recomendation, you can use a Thunderbolt cable, available from Apple to connect the two computers.
This article explains how.

Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

Is there anyway to have an 11 inch mac air connected to an external monitor with lid closed and still be able to see content. I have a wireless ketboard and mouse and have tried everything. Only works when plugged in.

You are referring to a feature called Clamshell Mode, please read Clamshell Mode setup for instructions.
BTW when posting when you use generalities such as "have tried everything" this tells us nothing. When posting please be specific and try to paint a complete picture. It just makes things easier for those trying to help you.

Have you tried any of these soundcards designed for 2.0?
The 3.0 port is categorically designed to be comoatible with all 2.0 devices. The port itself will adapt to the usage parameters of the device.
But if you really want to downgrade, then simply plug any 2.0 hub into a MBA 3.0 port. The ports on the hub will be 2.0.

HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled. If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).
