HT1338 connect my monitor to my MacBook Air Help?

I bought a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter so that I could connect my HP L1710 monitor to my MacBook Air. They are now connected and the HP monitor shows only my desktop, not my tool bars, nor the windows I have open on the MacBook Air. Help???

lawlist,
All MBair's including the original have 11n capabilities. Here is apples' guidelines and suggestions to help:

  • After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air  I Installation Guide for windows 7. Where do I find installation guide for Mac? ?

    After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air I entered the disc for the Installation Guide for windows 7 that came with the monitor. Where canI obtain the installation guide for a Mac?

    Those are two Q&A steps from the manufacturer's website. The first one indicating that the "driver" CD is not necessary. The second one is worth following to make sure the monitor is behaving properly. In addition you can go into System Preferences > Displays and then the Arrangement tab to see if the monitor responses from there.

  • I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?

    Can someone please tell me why I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?
    Is this just the most ridiculous oversight or is there some underlying reason why this doesn't connect and function properly? How amazing would it be if I could just click on a contact number and dial from my phone like I could in 2008 via my Lenovo and my Blackberry. This blows my mind that two devices that scream compatibility are far from it. From my bluetooth options it see my device, then sends a code, I confirm and then it briefly connects only to disconnect almost immediately. #fail #appleoversight #failfailfail
    Fix it or I'm going back to PC ****

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

    I just downloaded Adobe XI onto my macbook air and now I cannot save or print any PDF files. Will not let me do Print-Save as PDF, and if i do Save as i get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I had NO PROBLEMS at all doing this many times until i downloaded the new version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. I am super frustrated.
    Print>Save as PDF - uses Preview (part of OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.
    As to the "damaged file" error, simply uninstalling the Reader app won't affect it. Do the following:
    Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Mac HD/Applications
    Trash the Adobe Reader app
    [user]/Library/Preferences
    Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file
    To access the [user]/Library, hold the "Option" key and click "Go" from the FInder menu.
    Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Reader folder (the whole folder)
    Empty the Trash.
    Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Quit your browser and reinstall Reader.
    Launch it from the Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
    You should have no problems downloading PDFs with Safari.
    Unfortunately, ANY PDF that says it's damaged.... is. You'll have to trash them.

  • My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3.  Is this fixable?

    My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air nor my BMW X3.   I've made no recent adjustments, it's just stopped functioning.   Any ideas?   Can this be fixed, or is my iPhone on the way out?

    Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • Can I add a second monitor to my MacBook Air notebook and use both monitors simultaneously?

    Can I add a second monitor to my MacBook Air notebook and use both monitors simultaneously?  For example, have a spreadsheet open on the notebook monitor while the second monitor is displaying an architectural drawing?

    MiniDisplay-to-? adapters ... ? replaced by VGA or DVI or HDMI
    Best to use only 1 adapter to match the intended cable since mutliple-adapter setup (buy a VGA, then add VGA-DVI adapter) tendsto lose signal strength.
    Also graphics chips run hotter driving external display, and since the graphics chip in Air is part of the CPU the CPU may throttle itself as the integrated graphics chip heats up.
    Two modes of operation:
    Mirror ... same image both displays
    Extended ... the other screen is "extra screen space"

  • Can I use my Imac as a monitor for my Macbook Air?

    Can I use my iMac as a monitor for my Macbook Air?

    Without any knowledge of the year machines you have it's impossible to answer that question. iMacs adn MBA's have been around for many years now so we have no idea of the exact specs your machine have. Remember when posting you need to be complete and paint a picture for us as we aren't there to look for ourselves. Your question should be  posted something like:
    " I have a 2011 27" iMac and a 2009 MacBook Air, can I use the iMac as an external display for my MacBook Air?"
    BTW what you are referring to is called Target Display Mode. Apple does support that on some 2009-2011 iMacs. You can find additional information at:

  • External Monitor "shivers" on MacBook Air

    I have attached a 27" HP 2711x monitor to my MacBook Air using the mini-port->vga adaptor. The display is recognised as HP 2711 and the resolution is set to 1920x1080. Looks great.
    However, every so often (like every 3-5 minutes), the whole display 'shivers'. If I set the resolution to the next lowest (1680x1050) I get the same problem. If I set the resolution to 1600x1024, the shivering occurs constantly. If I go lower then the display settles down and works without shivering, but now I've lost the benefit of the high-res display...I'm currently writing this with the external display set to 1600x900, no shivering...
    Reading a few threads, looks like switching to DVI or HDMI might work better, so I'm going to get a dvi adaptor and try that.
    Any thoughts on what's going on?
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a MacBook Air from 2011 (2.13Ghz Core2 Duo, 4Gb DDR3, NVidia GeForce 320M)
    I read on one thread that the latest drivers from nVidia helped so I have the CUDA 4.2.10 drivers installed.

    Bought the mini display port -> dvi adaptor, plugged in the dvi and everything seems to be fixed.
    Nice crisp 1920x1080 display, no shivers...
    Looks like the signal from vga is not robust enough for this resolution.
    Solved.

  • Issues with connecting 2 displays to a macbook air/pro

    We all use MacBooks in the office and if we can connect 2 monitors to each macbook; we can be a lot more productive.
    Tried connecting via Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter which connects to the 1st monitor and we tried VGA to the second and it didn't work. Staples recommended a HDMI splitter, another place said splitter won't work and need a HDMI switch with multiple ports.
    Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately we are already using WPA (which my MacBook Pro has no problems with), so nothing to change there.
    Interestingly we have just called up Apple to see if they have any ideas for a quick fix, and they suggested wiring it up, which should somehow fix the wireless aspect of it as well. So after carefully moving the iMac and stringing some wires into fairly dangerous positions, it is now wired up. However, upon disconnecting the wire it worked for all of thirty seconds wirelessly before cutting out again. However, I do recall in my mind something about connecting a Mac via a wire first and then fiddling with something to help it work wirelessly? I don't know what that is though, so suggestions are appreciated.
    In the very short term connecting it via a wire works, but really a solution needs to be found asap. If the wireless issue can't be sorted I expect I will have to invest in a very long ethernet cable and run it from the router to the iMac, which whilst obviously not ideal is certainly possible.

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air

    How to enable bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air?

    I used to be able to connect my iPhone 4 with my 3 yr old MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I used my iPhone's personal hotspot more then once to access the Internet on my laptop when there was no wireless. I don't get why it wouldn't work with my new MacBook Air. That just seems silly. My laptop found my iPhone and was able to add the device, but then my iPhone wouldn't connect. Is there really no way around this??
