    How can I get HDMI out from my macbook air(2011)?

    It's rather simple. Buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. And then a HDMI cable long enough to link your computer the distance between both devices.

  • How can I get Microsoft office onto my Macbook Air?

    I need to use Microsoft office instead of Pages and Keynote because they are not compatible with my teacher's files. However my macbook air does not have the cd/dvd slot so how could I get Microsoft office onto my macbook? Help is appreciated! I really need it for my classes!!!!

    You have a couple of options.
    1) Buy a external DVD drive that connects by USB port. Any brand will work on your Mac. It doesn't have to have the Apple name on it for it to work. Most cost around $30.
    2) If you have the office DVD take it to a Mac that has a DVD drive and copy the DVD contents to a USB thumb drive then install from that thumb drive.
    3) Fine the DMG download of the office version you have.
    Note that only Office 2008 and the newest 2011 will work on a Mac running Lion or Mt Lion. The older 2004 version won't install on newer Mac computers.

  • How can I get more space?

    I was out of memory space so I purchased 200GB on my iPhone but when I try to take pictures it still says there is not enough available storage.
    In Settings it says I have 187 of 200GB available. But under storage it says 0 Bytes remaining. I have already charged my phone while connected to wifi twice and have no idea if anything has been transferring to this imaginary cloud. How can I use the GB I purchased?

    Im confused I thought iCloud was to transfer data from my phone there so I can have more room on my phone.
    I Can't transfer anything from my phone to my desktop because it says another apple product is already registered to that computer

  • How can I get apple to replace my macbook air?

    I purchased a macbook air in mid 2012. It's 13-inch 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5.
    Anyways, since I've had this particular computer I've had to take it in on 3 occasions because it kept shutting off, or crashing anything I ran.
    They have replaced the logic board all 3 times, and I believe the cost each time is approximately $500 (covered by applecare).
    I'm really annoyed by the function of this particular device I've purchased. I really just want to get rid of this computer now. 
    My question is, how or when will apple decide to trash this computer instead of waste money by replacing the logic board every 5 months?
    I would like a new computer. I am fed up of having to take my computer into the store– which mind you is far from my house, only to leave it there for a week before I can pick it up.

    I'd suggest making an appointment with an Apple Genius, and discuss your options.

  • How can I get microsoft office on a Macbook Air?

    Hey everyone, I'm still making the dission between whatt mac to buy but if i bought the macbook air how will i be able to get micrOsoft office on it since it dosen't have a SuperDrive? Thanks ;)

    MS seels keys online, then you download.
    Or if you have another Mac with a SuperDrive you can use "Target Mode" (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1443.html).

  • How can I get more space between items in a line of text .. elegantly

    Ok I have some equations that follow each other in a text line, eg
    Xc=10^6/2 pi f C     Xc = 10^6/2* pi *50 * C Xc = 10^4/pi C     .................   etc.
    Is there some way I can eg put a css entity in the paragraph so I can dimension the space as a box?
    I've tried with a <span class=css box></span> but it just includes the statement as text.
    And if i put <p>Xc=10^6/2 pi f C</p><span class="css" box></span><p> etc
    it puts the equations on different lines. 
    And multiple    s is a cludge, so is invisible images. There MUST be a nice way to do this?

    One way is to do something like this:
    1) create your styles like this:
    span {
        font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
        letter-spacing: 3px;
    2) create your HTML like this:
    <p> <span>Xc = 10^6/2* pi *50 * C Xc = 10^4/pi C </span></p>
    Now is this what you are looking for?  If not please post back so that something else can be suggested like Math HTML such as this one:
    <MATH>&int;_a_^b^{f(x)<over>1+x} dx</MATH>
    FF and latest IE9/10 supports MAtH HTML as far as I know.
    This is the picture of display in IE10:
    Good luck.

  • How can I free up space on my macbook air?

    I have already deleted local versions of movies and music after backing them up to iCloud. I deleted all the games too except for Alpine Crawler.
    I am giving this notebook to a friend and I want to clean all of my stuff off before resetting it to factory settings. No matter what I do I can't seem to free up space on the HD.

  • How do i install more memory in my macbook air? it only has 4GB

    How can i install more memory in my macbook air? it has 4GB only and it keeps telling me my start up disk is full.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    In the case of the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, memory is soldered into the logic board, so you can't add more memory after buying the MacBook.
    However, memory isn't your problem. One thing is the memory and another thing is the hard drive, and you are running out of space in the hard drive, not in memory.
    To fix this, just delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive, in order to make free space on your MacBook

    You don't. Delete 'stuff' you don't need or buy a phone with more storage. you can not increase or upgrade the internal storage in the iPhone.

    buy an external HD   1TB for $60
    NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
    Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.  You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
