HP 23xi / 25xi compatibility with Macbook Air 2013?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy an external monitor (HP 23xi or 25xi) for my Macbook Air 2013 (10.9.1).
Since the MBA doesn't have a HDMI output, I was wondering if a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI can be used to connect the external monitor?
I've gone through several forums, and many guys seem to have problems relating to blurry displays on their HP monitors -- when hooked up using DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapters
So, can anyone confirm the compatibility of MBA with the HP monitor, and the adapter used?
Many Thanks
Piyush

Hi Piyush90.
I found information on Apple.com about a "Thunderbolt" connector that enables you to connect your Mac Book Air with other monitors. It doesn't state specifically what monitors it will work with but it looks promising that it will be a viable solution to your question.
I've included a link below to the webpage about Thunderbolt.

HT3455 HDCP Compatibility with MacBook Air?

I have a mid 2011 MacBook Air running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and the latest version of Itunes. I downloaded HD TV episodes of Breaking Bad Season 4 yesterday and cannot play them, I get a message that they can only be played on HDCP compatible devices. How can my Mac not be compatible with iTunes content?
I have already looked up this issue on the support forums and found several solutions, none of which have worked. I am trying to play the movies just on my Mac, not to any external device. I tried looking for updates of iTunes / OS X and have the latest versions of both. I tried going to my iTunes media folder to see if there were non HD versions there as well, there were not. I checked my preferences in iTunes under Store, to ensure that it was set to 720p which it is. I am all out of options.
Can anyone help me play this content, or help me raise it as a complaint and get a refund?
Thanks a million! Oh, and Merry Christmas

It is now 2 years later, and I still have this issue, although it started later. Until December of 2014 I was able to watch movies from the iTunes store, then it suddenly stopped. I have the same MacBook Air as you do.
iTunes support is very polite, partially refunds your issue (they also have issues calculating), but is for the rest completely useless—they don't seem to be able to comprehend the issue.
I now rent movies from the competition—their offerings work fine.

Yes. I ran it successfully on Mountain Lion and had no problems when I upgraded to Mavericks. Be sure to apply the latest software updates.

My MacBook Air 2013 is 'not compatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion'

Hi,
I just bought a new MacBook Air 2013 yesterday.
I think there may be some driver issues with it as the graphics seem a little choppy.
I tried redownloading Mac OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store but a message constantly pops up saying that Mac OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with my computer.
Is anyone else getting this issue?

Wait until the next update, or reinstall it from the recovery partition, which is accessible by pressing the Command and R keys at startup.

Macbook Air 2013

I just got myself a new Macbook Air 2013 and while I realized I couldn't expect the smoothest experience, I never expected this much hassle with it. So many differnet issues. No need to have a sad face about it, though - let's get together and figure out how to make this work! At least we only have one graphics chip to worry about this time around
This is going to be a pretty long post but I figured it's good to have it all in one place. Please correct me if you think this is the wrong way to post these things.
Installing and booting
Booting from a normal 2013.6 USB key works fine, but I couldn't seem to get either GRUB or Syslinux working.
I was able to boot by first installing Arch Linux following the Macbook guide at the wiki (having a separate FAT32 /boot partition). Skip the bootloader installation.
Installing rEFInd from OS X (important!) and installing the EFI stub loader made me able to boot fine.
Separate thread.
Stability problems
This is the big worry for me. Every now and then my system hangs for a brief moment and everything involving net or disk access just hangs there for a while and then it seems to work.
So far it only seems to happen when I run something disk- or CPU-intensive. Also had an occassion when I couldn't start X and just got this repeating all over my screen:
ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED
ata1.00: cmd 61/08:f0:10:8c:c2/00:00:0b:00:00/40 tag 30 ncq 4096 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
On the next attempt it worked fine.
I did SMART short and long tests on my disk and they returned fine:
smartctl -a
There are some messages in my boot that indicate this could be disk and/or ACPI related.
journalctl -b
dmesg
This was on a boot when my NIC was renamed from eth0 to wlp3s0 as noted under Wifi - this should hopefully not be a big deal to fix. Will update when I look more into it.
uname -a:
Linux temperance 3.9.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 20 22:45:32 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
WiFi
WiFi does not work out of the box. Installing wireless-bcm43142-dkms from AUR made me able to connect to my network. I haven't been able to get it stable yet -interface name changes randomly between wlp3s0 and eth0 between reboots and I get disconnected from my network every 30 minutes or so. Disconnects seem to correlate somewhat with the freezes mentioned above.
Separate thread.
Touchpad
Have only been able to get it to work like a one-button mouse using evdev for now. Looks like an upstream bug.
Separate thread
Audio
In order to get audio, I need to put the following in /etc/asound.conf:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 1
I'm no ALSA pro, but I can only seem to get output from the headphone jack so far - no speakers yet.

While I'm using Ubuntu and not Arch, I wanted to chip in with my experiences.
First, I am happy to tell you that I've found a fix for the ata errors/freezes (which for me were so bad I could hardly install) -- at least I think it's the same or related. I got udevd spitting errors about blkid timing out, and it couldn't find the disks. I found this in a Ubuntu forum -- sadly, I can't find the url now. Anyway, Pass
libata.force=1:noncq
to the linux kernel parameters (in Ubuntu you can add this to /etc/default/grub). This disables NCQ, which according to that post wasn't needed.
YMMV and I am not certain that it doesn't have bad side effects, but for me it made the laptop usable.
Other findings:
My Fn key, and thus delete, page up/down, media keys etc didn't work. That's because the keyboard has a new device id which isn't in usbhid. I added entries like the existing apple keyboards with the new device id (05ac:0291) and after recompiling, it works. I'm pretty sure this is fixable by passing the correct "quirks" flags to the usbhid module, e.g. "quirks=0x05ac:0x0291:0x00001248", but I'm not sure which flags should be set (I have an ISO keyboard layout which is yet another flag).
My sound card doesn't work. Or; i hear no sound at least ;-). After checking in alsamixer, it had two cards, one HDMI with S/PDIF only and one with analog in/out and digital in. I tried passing "index=1" to snd_hda_intel, which makes alsamixer pick up the right card by default. I'm not sure if the problem is that pulseaudio still has the wrong card, or something else.
My wifi works after installing bcmwl from Saucy (i.e. the upcoming Ubuntu 13.10 release), which was a relief because I feared this not being supported.
Sometimes after resuming from suspend, the screen is totally dark -- barely discernible in bright daylight. First I figured this was an issue with lightum (a daemon which monitors the lighting and adjusts keyboard and screen brightness), but after checking /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness it turns out that when this happens, only the brightness levels 13, 14, and 15 (which is the brightest) have any brighness at all. 12 and under means no backlight. The only "fix" I've found so far is rebooting, which sucks. I hope this will get fixed (I will report a bug on Launchpad next time it happens).
Somewhere I picked up that passing
i915.i915_enable_rc6=1
to the linux parameters enables some great power saving features in the GPU. From modinfo:
i915_enable_rc6:Enable power-saving render C-state 6. Different stages can be selected via bitmask values (0 = disable; 1 = enable rc6; 2 = enable deep rc6; 4 = enable deepest rc6). For example, 3 would enable rc6 and deep rc6, and 7 would enable everything. default: -1 (use per-chip default) (int)
Oh, and if anybody knows how I get my GNU/Linux partition to show up in the Mac boot screen I would be grateful! Right now I have refit installed, which works but I would rather just use the built-in boot manager, which works on the predecessor (MBA 3,2).

Why can't I update bootcamp software on my Macbook Air 2013?

I'm running windows 8 on my 13" macbook air 2013. Apple sent me a notification of updated bootcamp support software and directions for installation. This web page included a list of the models that are supported by this software and mine is one of them. When I began installing this support software an error message said my computer model isn't supported. I called apple care and they told me it isn't their responsibility to supply windows drivers for people running bootcamp. This sounds fishy and completely wrong. Can someone help, please?

Can you go back and post the web page and actual details (drivers, versions, etc)?
Are you trying to update in Windows and from the Apple Software Update application? manually downloading in Windows? you can use either.
Yes, very fishy. Use to be even worse I think with just how well they are ready to answer and help with Windows on Mac topic.
Use to be the old support pages were to me easy to see and find updates and tech support articles but you can still try there for both your Mac, firmware and model specific, and for Boot Camp.
Also when Mac OS X gets updated, often you download new drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant, too, a 3rd method.
Wasn't clear which method was used.

How can I install windows XP or win 7 32 bit in MacBook Air 2013

Hi,
I want to install windows xp or windows 7 32 bit on new MacBook Air 2013 with bootcamp 4.
Apple says MacBook Air 2013 mid 2013... Comes with bootcamp 5.
And bootcamp 5 support only 64 bit windows....apple says.
I want to install win xp or win7.32 bit with bootcamp4.
Can we downgrade the bootcamp by uninstalling or something...?
Or how can I install 32 bit windows on new MacBook Air 2013.
Thanks I advance.
Please guide.

Bootcamp 4 which ships with Lion doesn't support XP or Vista, only 7. Try using Parallels or VMWare instead.

HT1379 A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. At first, I pressed Power & Option button and it recovered from Internet. Then, four options appeared but none of them are helpful. Could u please help me to solve it asap?

Hello,
A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. Then, I pressed POWER & OPTOIN buttons and internet options appeared for internet recovery. After internet recovery, the OS X utilities appears with four options (Restore from Time machine, Reinstall OS X, Get help online and Disk utility). But none of them seemed helpful. On the last option Disk utility, the icon created only with 33KB and other disk 1 Mac Os X Base system. On First Aid, the icon Repair disk is disabled. So I could not click on repair disk. Could you please suggest me how to solve this problem asap? Thank you so much for your help in advance!

You can try the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Hello,
i've got a problem(if we can call it) with my Macbook Air 2013(bought on july 2013).
when i type,i usually put my hands on the surface right next to the pad.
i do not apply any forces or put all the weight on the surface but it sounds like a crack or something similar.
and i also see that the surface goes down for a few mm.
thanks
Alberto

your touchpad is probably cracked... get it repaired by the guys at apple.

MacBook Air 2013 Camera Problems

I have a MacBook Air 2013 and recently, after the most current update my built-in camera not only does not work with Skype but does not work with Facetime or Photobooth either.
Under "Camera" in System Report my camera does not show up. I have rebooted, shutdown and cold-booted, pressed Shift + Alt + Ctrl + Command when booting.
I don't want to do a fresh install of my (brand new) computer all over again just yet. What should I do? Is it a software issue?
It's rather frustrating because I can't Skype or even Facetime my family and resorting to an external webcam is a ridiculous notion for a laptop.
Thanks,
scintoon

Hey dominic23,
Thanks - that update solved the issue of me not being able to use the webcam. However, now my mic does not work as well. I have rebooted a few times (shut down, cold boot) as well as holding the Shift + Alt + Command when powering up.
Is there a fix to this? Apple seriously needs to fool-proof these updates. Or, at least never have any of these problems in Mavericks
Thanks for all your help.
