How to get digital sound from macbook air?

i know the new air does not have digital output in the headphone jack, but is there another way to approach this problem? I heard there are ways to connect an external sound card to make it work (i'm new to this and not sure exactly how it works). I use to have my macbook pro linked to a Dell u2711 and ran toslink from the Pro, but now I'm on an Air, i have to use the analog output from the monitor which is driving me nuts comparing to the digital quality. Hoping there is another solution. thanks!

Hi fjing28,
You could do MiniDisplay Port to HDMI (with Audio-Out) support.

    how do i download movie from macbook air directly to icloud?

    You want to download (I assume you meant upload) it to iCloud?  If that's what you mean, you can't.  iCloud will already have movies purchased from the iTunes store, which can be redownloaded (depending on your location) from your purchased list.  Movies from other sources cannot be stored in iCloud, except digital copies or purchased DVDs that are compatible with iTunes.

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.

  • How to get the sound from my Roland RD700GX keyboard through GB

    Hey everyone
    I've got a Roland RD700GX keyboard. When I plug the midi into my macbook it will play the music through GB but it won't give me the sounds from the keyboard. I was wondering if there was any way that I can get the sounds from my keyboard into GB? Let me know.

    Thanks for your reply, Christoph. I did not say anything about MIDI except that the Edirol is a MIDI interface. I am using it to patch an audio "phone cable" ( a guitar cord) to a USB out to go to the Mac. This is what the interface is designed to do. You were correct that the bleeding and feedback were due to using the built-in microphone inadvertently. I was able to correct the problem by changing the "monitor settings" by double-tapping on the Record button and selecting "No Monitor" only. This does not affect my playback and recording any so my problem is solved.
    Thank you for the link to GB FAQs, that is a helpful site.

  • How to transfer music files from Macbook Air to iPod touch?

    i have a new Macbook Air and an Ipod Touch. i have loaded music files onto the Ipod successfully, and separately made purchases from Itunes on my Macbook. i want to integrate the music libraries on both devices - how can this be done?

    "i have loaded music files onto the Ipod successfully,"
    From where?
    The ipod is not a sotrage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You can simply sync your ipod to the the Macbook to get the music form the macbook to the ipod

  • How to import iphoto library from macbook air to imac

    Hi
    I have been searching the support section but have not had any luck finding an answer to this. If someone can point me in the right direction to a link for directions that would be great.
    I have just returned from a holiday and have been uploading all my photos to a macbook air iphoto library.
    Now that I am home I want to import that library into my existing library on my imac.
    Is this possible ? and how exactly (in no techno speak please - I am still quite new to Apple).
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you want to replace the iPhoto Library on the iMac with the iPhoto library on the MBA?  then simply Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    But if you want to move selected (the new) photos from the MBA to the iMac then you need iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only way to move photos between libraries without losing information
    If you want the photos only without history then you can export from the MBA (see the user tip on exporting for details on the options) and then import the photos to the iMac

  • How to delete itunes account from macbook air 10.9

    Hi Group,
    I'm a newbie so be gentle.  I have my husband's old Macbook Air OS X 10.9 with 4 GB memory. He opened an itunes account on this computer and has the same account on his new computer. I am trying to open my own itunes account but I can't because my mac and my phone have been commandeered by his account. I can't download any tunes or apps unless I get rid of his old account and open my own. Any advice?

  • How do I transfer photos from macbook air to iphone 4s?

    I have a macbook air (mid-2012) with have the new itunes version (11.0.1), and can't figure out how to transfer photos from macbook to iphone.  There is no "Photo" tab in itunes in this version, and it doesn't appear in the pulldown choices. Help!

    Connect your iDevice.
    It should show in the left hand sidebar or in a button to the right of the iStore button
    You should see the summary page for your device with other buttons for Music Apps etc
    Click on the Photos
    Check the box to enable syncing of photos.
    Then either select all or choose selected playlists
    When selection is made click Apply at the bottom left

  • How to get battery information for macbook air 13"

    Hi,
    I am using macbook air 13" released by the end of last year.
    For personal reason, I have to buy a new battery for my mba through the internet.
    So, how can I check the battery information (such as release day and last day of warranty) using its serial number?
    It is not easy to find such service in apple.com in case of macbook air battery.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Jonghun Park.

    That page supports for (as it mentioned below)
    iPhone, iPad, Mice and Trackpad, iSight, Portable Computers, AirPort, iPod, Displays, Xserve, Desktop Computers, Keyboards, Apple TV
    NOT FOR THE BATTERY EMBEDDED IN MACBOOK AIR!! :<
    (And the length of serial number of battery is longer than above HW products)
    Thanks for your answer, by the way.

  • ???????????HOW TO GET SURROUND SOUND ON MACBOOK???????????????????????

    I have a macbook osx 10.5.8. I purchased some Logitech X-540 5.1 surround sound speakers to hook up to my laptop. There are 3 cables (an orange, green, and black) that come from the different speakers/subwoofer that are supposed to plug into the computer, but i can only plug in 1 of the 3 into the headphone jack my macbook. Here's some pics of the speakers:
    http://techgage.com/print/logitechx-540_51speakers
    When I do so, only some of the speakers play, not all of them. I went to BestBuy and asked someone if surround sound is possible for a macbook, but he said "no". I have seen online many people claiming it is possible to get 5.1 surround sound for mac, but haven't figured out how. Can someone please be of some assistance????

    Since you only want to play CD's why not just use the two for the normal Left/Right channels your CD was created with?
    If you want to use ALL of your speakers, you'll need to invest in a USB or Firewire device that will connect to your Macbook and then allow you to connect all your speakers.
