How to disable the graphics card of my macbook air please?

how to disable the graphics card of my macbook air please?

I'm guessing there is a language issue here.  The graphics card is the actual hardware (chip) in your computer that allows it to create graphics and show them on your display.  There is no way to disable the graphics card on your Air because there would be no way to use it (it would not be able to display anything on any display).  This is a little different on machines with multiple graphics processors, but that's not the case with your Air.  I'd imagine you know what you want to do, we're just having trouble understanding your question.

When i clicked the wifi icon, it says, no airport card  installed.  What should i do?

  • How to disable 2nd graphic card?

    I have a laptop Sony VGN-Z21XN/B with two graphic cards:
    1) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    2) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M GS] (rev a1)
    Unfortunately both are running at the same time so my laptop is hot, noisy and the battery is discharged very soon. Is there any possibility how to permanently disable nVidia graphic card somewhere in system? I already tried disable nVidia modules in rc.conf, but without result and google doesn't help
    Thank for advice.

    I've just checked my bios settings and there is no option to set or disable graphic card. Bios is actually very poor.
    The problem is that sony provides only windows (vista and 7, not XP) software switch so there is no HW support for switching... I am looking for something like disable hardware in windows device manager. Simply tell arch: don't use that stupid piece of crap...
    However I'll have a look to site that you posted

  • How to disable discrete graphics card on dv7?

    My dv7 6000 CTO (XW899AV) has been having graphics card issues for quite a while now (frequent screen flashes followed by error notifications), but lately it's gotten a lot worse.  Now I get a black screen after just a few minutes of use.
    I'm nearly positive the problem lies with the discrete graphics card (ATI 6770M).   I'd like to disable the discrete card and only use the integrated Intel HD 3000.  Unfortunately the BIOS seems to hide the option to do this.  I tried disabling the ATI card in the device manager, but when I rebooted the card was enabled again.  Is there a way to disable the discrete card, even though HP seems hell bent on preventing me from doing so?  If I can't, the laptop is basically a brick.

    Hi zeblonite,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I see that you are looking to disable your discrete graphics card. As you have seen that isn't going to work as the notebook is designed to work with both graphics card. What are the error notifications are you getting? If you can give me that exact error message we might be able to fix the cause of the problem. What operating system are you using?

  • How to change the graphics card in a hp pavillion p6 2260 ea

    I got a new KFA2 GeForce 650 Ti graphics card but I don't know how to install it on my HP Pavillion p6-2260ea.
    Thank You

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2260ea Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model came with a 300 watt power supply and Windows 8. Most NVIDIA GeForce GTX650 Ti cards require a 400 watt or greater system power supply to function correctly. You will need the replace the power suplly with something like the Corsair CX500 or CX600. These power supplies come highly recommended and are known to fit most HP consumer desktop computers.
    Please see "Adding or Replacing an Expansion Card (Video Card, Sound Card, etc...)" for instructions on installing expansion cards including graphics cards. While these instructions aren't for your exact computer, the proceedure is the same.
    Please send KUDOs

  • How to disable Nvidia Graphics card to improve battery life in Bios?

    Hi I am trying to figure out how to disable my Nvidia Graphics Card with my Custom Bios. I don't want to tinker with my Bios settings without getting some advice. Thanks!!!! I have MSI GE70 2PE 012US laptop. My custom bios is this version E1759SSS.516.

    You can't really disable nvidia graphics as all laptops with dedicated card can't just use Intel HD only..

  • I sit possible to upgrade the graphics card in my Macbook Pro?

    I own a macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core duo, 4gb ram with NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB graphics card. I'm finding this graphics card pretty shocking when it comes to even the simplest of 3D games...i know probably my fault for choosing a laptop not suitable for gaming but still i did expect it to be able to handle graphics like on football manager.
    Anyway my question is, is there any way to upgrade my graphics card and how much would it cost?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I wouldn't expect Skype or iWork to be a problem. I don't know Spotify.
    Have you used Disk Utility to correct permissions? This is a routine maintenance procedure that can improve some things. If you are not familiar with using this utility it's sufficient to see at the end 'permissions repair complete' or similar. There are likely to be some messages saying certain things couldn't be corrected but usually these are not serious issues.
    The other thing to watch is whether you are running on battery power or mains. When there is intensive processor activity & some other internal activities too the computer might need mains power to perform at its best. You can try various things on battery alone then on battery & mains together and compare performance.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a macbook??

    I know macs aren't meant for gaming or anything, but I just wanted to know if a graphics card upgrade is possible.

    As a general rule, graphics processors on notebooks are not upgradable (integrated or discrete). Some newer high end gaming machines are being built with upgradable graphics solutions, but they're VERY high end sytems and upgrading the graphics on those systems is quite expensive.

    hi guys..i've got a macbook pro 13 inch with intel hd 3000 graphic card..is there any way to change it to the faster intel hd 4000?

    No, it is an integral part of the mother board.  To improve the GPU, your only alternative is to purchase a newer MBP.

  • How to reinstall the OS lyon in a MacBook Air

    Hello
    A few days ago, I erase the MacBook Air HD. I erased the Lyon OS too.
    Now I have tried to reinstall it but the laptop doesn´t recongnize the wifi network. I went to another place to conect it to another wifi and it begun to download something. When it finished doing that the MacBook show a picture where appeared the lyon OS and asked if I would like to install it. I said yes but then appeared a message where says that there isn´t any network. I wonder, why there isn´t any network if it used my friend´s network to download something that I don´t know?
    What can I do?
    Thanks
    Jorge

    Thank you
    I deleted the whole disk. When I start the computer I press Command+R and appears the earth planet and all the networks detected by the computer. What I don´t understand is that I have a MacBook and an iPad beside the Macbook Air and both recognize the network, but the MacBook Air can´t.
    I tried to use an external drive with the Macbook leopard OS but the  MacBook Air didn´t recognize too.
