Gigaware USB - Ethernet adaptor with MacBook Air

Where does one find instructions to get this device to work on a MacBook Air with Yosemite?

I had the same problem. Apple Support said to install the Ethernet adapter while Windows was running and then run the install disk and it will find the driver. (Running in BootCamp - all updates included for XP)
That doesn't work. It didn't for me our our IT person. Their solution was install a USNB ethernet adapter for Windows. When they installed that software on the Windows it shut down my blut tooth mouse and the track pad. I don't know what they did but they got the mouse and track pad working again but not the adapter.
There is a fix you can Google but I am reluctant to buy it - I think a fix will show up soon - best get a wireless modem for now and if you are worried about security just unplug it when you are not using it.

Optus Huwaie USB not working with Macbook Air

I have a Macbook Air (mid 2011) running Yosemite 10.10.1
Using an Optus USB Modem (E3276 V2 4G) by Huwaie and it I think there is a compatibility issue. … I tried the modem on my Macbook .. no problem at all.
After launching on the Air, the USB dongle glows Blue which represent connection - status on Optus window says ‘connected' but there is in fact no internet connection at all and no kbps activity either way. I have seen a few similar posts on various forums but haven't so far understood what they are on about. Ideas? Thanks

You should be contacting the technical support of the Internet carrier for assistance. It is their responsibility to be compatible with Apple.
Ciao.

Usb dvd drive with macbook air?

hi all!
i have a macbook air.
its a 13 inch core i5,4gb, 128gb ssd late 2011 model with uk specs.
i need to get a dvd drive for it and am wondering if an ordinary usb dvd drive would work with it or not?
i dont want to get the macbook superdrive for £60 if i can use a decent samsung dvd writer for £20 from ebay.
please advise!
many thanks !!

There are probably very few that won't work. However, at the very least I would check out with the model specifications that there is OS X compatibility as stated by the manufacturer of the drive.
I've tried a couple of drives that I have and both work just fine. But in my case it was a curiosity more than anything else, because I went ahead and bought a Superdrive (which by the way, I've only used a few times).
I think we are approaching a time when these optical drives are really going to be as unneeded as a floppy.

What can I migrate from my 13" MacBook (white 2007) to a new MacBook Air 13" using an ethernet cable and a USB ethernet adaptor for the MBA?

I have, on order, a 13" MacBook Air (128Gb) and intend using Migration Assistant to transfer data from my 4 year old MacBook 13" (White) on set up.
I have ordered an Apple USB Ethernet adaptor and have today purchased an Ethernet cable.
I will want to transfer;
Mail........Mailboxes, their contents and account settings. In fact the lot except the application itself.
Safari..... Bookmarks, Cookies, Saved Passwords etc. As above
Google Chrome.........same
Address Book
iCal
iTunes
iPhoto
Documents. Excel, Word, Powerpoint & pdf's (a clean install of Office for Mac 2011 will take place on the MBA)
MacBook and applications are currently up to date and I've read about disabling the energy saver to sleep option.
Is it all that simple or am I missing something?
Can Account Information in Mail be migrated?
Will saved links be transferred in Safari (especially that of my ISP's customer area)? You have no idea what navigating around Orange France is like !
Sorry if I sound a little naïve but I'm English, retired and living in France and the nearest Apple Store is a 3 hour drive away so I'm doing it all myself.
Thanks
Richard

Use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion (it's a bit more complete).
Unless you choose to omit things, that will set your new Mac up exactly like the old one, except for a few preferences, etc., that may be different for the different hardware.
If your old Mac isn't running Lion, there will be some other differences, too. See Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.

Sharing one ethernet cable with two macs using a USB Ethernet Adaptor

I have two computers running Mac OS 10.6 but only one ethernet cable in my office. One ethernet cable goes from the wall to Mac #1. I have a cisco USB Ethernet Adaptor USB300M that I like to use as OUTGOING ethernet cable from Mac #1 to plug into Mac #2. Does anybody know how this works? Simply plugging it in does not work. Thanks for any suggestions!

If either of these computers is a Mac Pro (65 lb.) tower, all of which have two Ethernet jacks, Internet sharing is crisply supported with any additional Hardware. Cable the wall jack Ethernet to the first Ethernet port, then cable the second Ethernet port to the second Mac. Configuration is described in this article:

Is there an SDXC adaptor for Macbook Air 11

Is there an SDXC adaptor for Macbook Air 11

For computers without a built-in camera card reader, you can purchase one for use
with a USB port. So long as the adapter is qualified for use with SDXC, it should work.
Good luck!

Does anybody knows how to install Windows 7 from a USB drive on 2010 MacBook Air running Lion?

Tell my wife that!
This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.

I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

Just bought a Macbook Air. I does not appear to be compatible with my LCD projector. What LCD projectors work best with MacBook Air?

My Cannon LCD LV-7210 projector does not recognize my Macbook Air nor does my Macbook Air recognize it is attached to an LCD projector. Yes, I do have the proper adapter.
What LCD projectors work best with Macbook Air? Does this LCD projector have auto-detect for computer?
Thanks!

I've just purchased a *27in (aluminium case) LCD Cinema Display* and am using it with my MacBook Pro, linked by the supplied three-jack cable (Mini DVI display jack).
The 27" display uses Mini DisplayPort, not Mini DVI.
But I also have *a white-cased MacBook (purchased in 2008) which has an older type of display socket*, certainly not compatible with the Mini DVI type.
The early Mac Book uses Mini DVI.
1. Is there a cable or adaptor available to link my older MacBook to the Cinema Display? Nothing in the online store looks 'right'
No. Mini DVI is single-link, and does not support the resolution needed for the 27" display.

Just purchased USB SuperDrive to connect MacBook air can't eject start up disc

just purchased USB SuperDrive to connect MacBook air can't eject start up disc? please advise

No, of course not. The "startup disk" is the disk with your boot volume (operating system) on it. Once you boot (startup) from it it is locked as your computer will not "run" without a valid "startup disk".
It would be similar to complaining that "I can't remove the engine from a running vehicle".

MBA, 24" Cinema Display, & USB Ethernet Adaptor

I'm considering getting a MBA, however, I don't want to have to run it on wireless at home. Will the built in USB hub in the 24" Cinema Display run the SuperDrive and the USB Ethernet Adaptor?

SuperDrive
Probably not. That drive requires more power than a regular USB 2.0 port supplies and isn't compatible with other Mac models.
USB Ethernet Adaptor
Yes.

This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
your computer has what is called a recovery partition that came with it.
simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
you will boot into the recovery partition.
Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
it will ask you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
easy peasy

Making a USB install disc for macbook air using a windows PC!

Ok i have an iMac and a macbook air, so this guide here seems good for me right?
How to Create a Mac Snow Leopard USB Installer Disk
The problem I've got is that my iMac superdrive is skewed, it just won't read anything (disc is new etc but the drive won't work with pretty much ANY disc at all, and i mean any, just spits them out after a few seconds of trying to read it).
Anyways, can this process as described in the URL above be done using a windows based pc? i also have one as a media centre in my room and it has a working dvd drive..... if so what do i need to do? this is driving me insane! i cannot afford an external superdrive or any other external drives at the moment nor is the iMac in warranty and nor do i have the ability to take it anywhere.

Its a long one to explain but the superdrive in the imac works when it wants, and fortuantly last time it worked with the OSX disc that came with the imac! amazing, i made the usb installer and then when booted with macbook air it stated it cannot be installed. I did a little digging and discovered that it was because the imac came with one of those grey OEM discs and are not able to transpose to another machine at all, this is officially from apple and what others have used, hence my need to then get a full snow leopord disc.
The disc however unlike the other OSX grey one will not read at all
also what i mean is can i use the drive from the windows machine to make the usb install disc not using windows itself....?

Is there any Sound card 5.1 include stereo mix that working with MacBook Air such as Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro Entertainment System ? and if there any another sound card can you tell me what is it please ? Thank you.

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

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!!!
