External DVD recorder compatibility with a mac book air

Is the imation slim external DVD recorder compatible with a mac book air

Mac is a special adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NDg).
But if you look closely at that picture, you will see a possible issue getting a VGA cable seated fully in the adapter.
You may want to try a Fry's or Microcenter or other "giant electonics retailer" to find other brand names.
Mine is a "Kanex" from Microcenter, which has a website. Here is the link, and see hoe the cable *can* seat fully ... http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0314015

HT1338 How to setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air

How do I setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air? I am using an Apple accessory Moshi cable interface with a Samsung Syncmaster screen SB24B300 and I am unable to get any response. Thank you.

You need to connect it to the computer using either USB or Thunderbolt. Setup is simply prepping the SSD:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.

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

How do I unlock file permissions on an external flash drive connected to a mac book air?

Hi there, I have just synced my I tunes library to I Tunes on my mac book air using a WD external flash drive (which I have always used as my storage drive for my entire library and was previously running on a Sony Vaio PC) and although I can now see and play all my files I can't download new content as I get an error message stating "there was a problem downloading.... you don't have priveleges to make changes" which from my research is because the flash drive I tunes folder permissions within it are locked to read only.
Which is where the problem lies as I can't see anyway to change this when clicking on the drives in my devices and going to the get info option, as although it shows the permission status - you can't edit that?
Note I know this is the issue as if I change the I tunes media folder location back to the defualt folder as the hard drive on the mac book I can then download new files no problem, however I dont want to store my content on the hard drive of my mac book air as my library is over 300gb and want to keep it all on the external (as I always did when running I tunes on my PC).
Any help will be apprecaited guys!
Thanks

If the drive is formatted as MS-DOS or exFAT, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to repair it.
If it's formatted as NTFS, either reformat it or install third-party software which enables the Mac to write to NTFS drives.

Is Aperture 3 compatible with 2009 Mac Book Air 2.1 (MC 234 LL/A) RAM 2GB

Do I have to upgrade my Mac Book Air to Mavericks OS or will work under Snowleopard?
Regards

The Mac App Store version of Aperture requires Mac OS X 10.9 or newer. If you choose to buy an Aperture DVD, it needs to be version 2 or 3 to work in Snow Leopard.

How can I combine diacritics to write accentuated Lithuanian vowels: tilde, grave or acute on any vowel, including vowels with ogonek (Mac book air OSX 10.9)

I need to put accents (tilde, acute, grave) on any vowel: i, e,u,o,a,y including those which already have a diacritic : ė,ū,ų,ą,ę, į, and those which have a consonant: in, im, il, ir (tilde on the consonant).
Is it possible on a Mac book air system OSX 10.9?
Thank you for your help!

Oh thank you for answering!! I was beginning to lose any hope.
I tried this, yes, but the combinations I want do not show: tilde or acute on ė,ū,ų,ą,ę, tilde on m, l, r.
It is quite easy to do this on a PC, I cannot imagine there is no solution on an Apple.
Any other solution?

Is the 802.11n download compatable with my Mac Book Pro?

I have a Mac Book Pro with a core duo processor. I was wondering if I could purchas the $2.00 download and make my computer 802.11n compatable. I dont know if I need to get anything new, say a different airport card, or if I can just download the "new" software.

You'd need a new Airport card or ExpressCard for 802.11n. But if you just want it for Internet, don't bother, only for local file transfer, e.g. Time Capsule.

How to get iMovie onto dvd to play on dvd or computer with a Mac Book Pro 2011

I am new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro with Lion OS 10.7.3 I purchased it mainly to for work but also to make small movies of my baby to send on DVD to family interstate. I am now struggling to work out how to get the movie onto a DVD. Surely there is capability with the technology I have.
Thanks

When you say above that iDVD will be updated to the latest version by Apple....how is that true since Apple no longer supports iDVD?
Apple does support iDVD. Software update will update the latest version of iDVD automatically. (Incidentally, software update will also update iMovie 06.) For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.
Apple only sells iDVD on disk as part of iLife 11.
Various resellers continue to get fresh inventory of iLife 11 on disk (with iDVD) from Apple.
I received an update to iDVD only a few months ago (after the release of lion).
Apple supports iDVD on this forum. Further, iDVD is still supported in Apple stores.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/idvd
IDVD remains a popular application in the Apple community. For a variety of obvious reasons Apple would prefer your movies to be stored on the cloud. Many people however prefer to have a physical copy, that they can possess, that is easily playable on over 700 million DVD players worldwide.
I will occasionally put a movie I have made on the web. My friends and relatives will rarely watch it. On the other hand, if I mail them a DVD they ALWAYS watch it

I am having trouble with my mac book air. I think I have a virus because every time i click on a link it opens up popup windows and other things. How do I reset the computer?

I'm not very good with computers, so I need to be told how to do this as simple as possible. Please help.

It's not a virus.
You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.

Installed a wireless canon Pixma MX432 printer back in November for use with my Mac Book Air. All was working normally until this past week when I began getting a message, "printer not connected." What is going on? Netgear Wireless N Router seems to be ok

My new canon Pixma MX432 printer is not printing. It was printing fine until about ten days ago. I use a Netgear Wireless N router, which is also new. What do I need to do. I get a message when trying to print that says "printer not connected." In addition, my old Gateway laptop will still print fine apparently because it has a cable connection to the printer. Puzzled!

Have you tried rebooting the router? I would unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. Be sure you know the password etc. if that doesn't work, try unplugging and rebooting the printer. Good luck!

What is the necessity of the AC power cord (with Mac Book Air)? When should it be used with the power adapter?

what is the necessity of the AC power cord (with the Mac book Air)? when should it be used?

Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
Why are both cords necessary?
They are not.
Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
No.
