  • TS4055 How do I use my MacBook Air to access the Amazon Web Service?

    How do I use my MacBook Air to access AWS (Amazon web Service)?  The information provided to me by Apple Care seems to be about allowing outside access to my MacBook.

    Sorry, but does this relate to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, in some way? If so, how are you using ARD in relation to Amazon's services?

  • How do I use my Macbook Air with a display?

    I wish to use the display with the Macbook Air. The screen on the MBA is too small for home use so I want to use the display instead. How do I do this? It's awkward to type on the MBA keyboard and then look at the display next to the MBA.
    However I want to keep the MBA as my main computer because I like to use the MBA outside my home a lot. So that is why I do not buy an iMac.
    I also do not want to go to the trouble of syncing a Macbook Air and an iMac.
    I figured if I can use the hard drive on the MBA and then use the cinema display to show everything like my LCD screen that would be great.
    How can I get around the problem of awkward placement on my desk?
    Can I buy a keyboard and will that prevent the need to type using the MBA's keyboard?
    I plan on replacing my old MBA with the new MBA that has two USB ports.
    Will the separate keyboard and display fit into a USB hub? I need to keep one hub free on the MBAir for the USB ethernet.
    Is it just a matter of plugging the cinema display and keyboard into the MBA and then just typing away, using the MBA's hard drive?
    I do not know how this will work.
    Thanks for any explanation.

    Yes.

    There are two USB ports on the display. Use one for ethernet and one for the keyboard (a USB mouse can plug into the keyboard).
    Is it just a matter of plugging the cinema display and keyboard into the MBA and then just typing away, using the MBA's hard drive?
    Yes. Or you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse.

  • I am using a Macbook Air mid 2012 and an apple application "Mail". With only one email account (Yahoo), everything works perfectly. But the problem started when I added GMAIL account. Now it keeps on asking for my password for gmail and keychain.

    With only Yahoo account in my Macbook Air "Mail", everything works perfectly. Problem started when I added my Gmail account. It keeps on asking my account and keychain passwords. And all my accounts always works offline.

    It sounds like you may need to go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts and Complete setting up you Gmail account.  It may not be finished being setup.  For instance, note the line below to be selected from the drop down list in "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP", then  "Edit SMTP Server List":
    Hope this helps

  • How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation?

    How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation? I do not want to go to the projector just to turn it off and turn on again after a while? Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

    I want to be able to sleep the external display and at the same time do things in the MacBook.( This feature is useful for me so that I can prepare some things and so that my audience will not see what I am about to show them.)
    Is there a feature for Mountain Lion?

  • How to use my macbook air as a dvr

    I would like to use my MacBook Air as a DVR in this manner:  I would bring up a flick that I missed and stream it (after the "live" broadcast").  I would like to record it to my "MacDVR" and play it back enabling me to Fast Forward thru the commercials (saving time and patience).  The recording can be done in the background, even if the MacBook's cover is closed -- a set it up and let it run for a given time type of process.  I do not necessarily want to edit the recording.
    I do watch some programs on NetFlix thru my AppleTV, but CBS is notorious for NOT allowing this for their programming.  I do not have cable TV, only TWC as my ISP at 20Mbits, and a hefty price ($66/month).  I use OTA antenna for my TV (not a big watcher).
    So is there a program out there that can do this?
    Thanks.

    If you have a valid sim card or know somebody who has one, stick that in there to activate your phone, then just take out the sim after you're done activating it an it should work fine.
    Hope this helped!
    Cheers

  • How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

    You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
    As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
    She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
    As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

  • How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

    How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

    Hi Kappy,
    Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
    When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
    When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
    I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
    Appreciate any help you can provide.
