HT1338 How to setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air

How do I setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air? I am using an Apple accessory Moshi cable interface with a Samsung Syncmaster screen SB24B300 and I am unable to get any response. Thank you.

You need to connect it to the computer using either USB or Thunderbolt. Setup is simply prepping the SSD:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.

  • External touch screen with a Mac ?

    Hello
    Is there someone who use an external touch screen with a Mac ?
    I plan to buy a IIYAMA T2252MTS to use it with a MacBook Pro 2010.
    I'm sure it's not a problem for video but I'm very anxious with touch input and how Mountain Lion can manage this ...
    Do you use UDPP / Touch Base or any other driver ?
    If I want only use a normal touch (1 finger), i think the mac can manage it easly, isn't it ?
    Thank for any responses ...

    Hi Tom,
    I'm using an 4 wire overlay that was purchased off eBay. No brand name associated with it. I believe the 4 wire models can support dual touch, by the driver descriptions that are available for Windows, but Mac drivers don't.
    Here is what I got.

    And drivers.

  • How do I transfer a specific backup from my external hard drive to my mac book air?

    How do I transfer a specific backup from my external hard drive to my mac book air? I downgraded my mac's software from Mavericks to Mountain Lion because of the computer's limations so I need to transfer all the info I had when Mavericks  and down to Mountain Lion. I already went to the Apple Genius Bar and they helped me downgrade, but I want to transfer information from a specific backup on my external hard drive?

    time machine backup?   Go into the backups.backupdb (time machine) and extract out the specific files, drag them to your desktop etc.
    consider in the future additional backup methods than time machine for easy file extraction.

  • Problem accessing Seagate External Harddrive from iMac and Mac Book Air

    I have a brand new Seagate 2TB external harddrive which I have just used to backup my entire iMac files (photos, videos, etc) via the Time Capsule programme. However I now can't access the files which apparently have been copied onto the Segate. I have now connected the Seagate to my Mac Book Air and it is not even being recognised as an external storage device.
    Is someone able to tell me how I can access the files on the external drive?

    do you mean "time machine" as opposed to "time capsule" the latter is a back up drive in itself.
    before you did your backup was your seagate drive formatted or did you just connect and instruct the mac to back up to the drive.
    if the drive was not formatted then you will need to format the drive using disc utility.

    Hi gachy1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are unable to install the printer on Maverick.
    I will be happy to help you.
    I have provided the URL for setting up the printer with the Apple Software Updates.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Make sure when you add the printer it shows the printer's name and not Airprint.
    (you might have to click the dropdown to select the printer's name)
    This document shows you 3 different ways you can scan on the Maverick.
    How to Scan: OS X v10.9.
    Hope this resolves your issue.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a good day!

  • External DVD recorder compatibility with a mac book air

    Is the imation slim external DVD recorder compatible with a mac book air

    Mac is a special adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NDg).
    But if you look closely at that picture, you will see a possible issue getting a VGA cable seated fully in the adapter.
    You may want to try a Fry's or Microcenter or other "giant electonics retailer" to find other brand names.
    Mine is a "Kanex" from Microcenter, which has a website.  Here is the link, and see hoe the cable *can* seat fully ... http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0314015

  • HT4241 i am trying to connect a hdmi cable to my mac book air i hit source list but not is showing on my tv  can somone help me to fix it

    i connect a mini display port to my HDMI cable but all i am seeing to the TV is the screen saver on the main screen i am unable to view videos on my tv  can any one help

    It's possible the TV doesn;t support the same rersolution as before.
    Does the LED flicker when you press remote keys?
    If so try holding menu and up arrow together for 6 seconds to cycle display resolutions.
    If possible try a different HDMI cable/HDMI port.
    If all fails you may need to do a restore as described here:

  • How to improve horrible camera quality on new 11" mac book air?

    Any ideas?

    Laptop ... require external camera for decent quality video chat...
    That should definitely NOT be the case.  A higher res, external, camera should only be required if you have unusual requirements with special needs.
    Video chat quality should surely be "decent" with the built-in camera.  If not, both you and your chat connection partners should try increasing your room light levels significantly.  If lots more light does not resolve the problem, both ends of the connection should check broadband speed using something like http://speedtest.net/
    Insufficient light and broadband speed lower than 500kbps both up and down at either end are the most likely causes of lowered video chat quality.  If light is good and speeds at both ends of the connection is better than minimum but your video quality is unacceptable, test other Apple video capable apps, too, (examples: QuickTime, Photo Booth, iMovie.) 
    If the problem continues after these factors have been checked, ask your retailer to check whether your new MBA may need service or exchange.

  • The screen on my mac book air 2011 goes dull  when it shouldn't be. Any tips?

    Screen on macbook air 2011 goes quite dull even when I'm operating it. It is as if the machine is going to sleep although it shouldn't be doing so.
    It is a little slow to rouse from this dulled state.
    Unplugging and re-plugging power socket appears to remedy this problem But it shouldn't really be happening should it? Any ideas?

    Does it hapen when your rest your fingers on the trackpad? If so it can be a state of zoom....
    Try different trckpad settings (Apple, system settings, trachpad)
    Hope that helps

  • How can I combine diacritics to write accentuated Lithuanian vowels: tilde, grave or acute on any vowel, including vowels with ogonek (Mac book air OSX 10.9)

    I need to put accents (tilde, acute, grave) on any vowel: i, e,u,o,a,y including those which already have a diacritic : ė,ū,ų,ą,ę, į, and those which have a consonant: in, im, il, ir (tilde on the consonant).
    Is it possible on a Mac book air system OSX 10.9?
    Thank you for your help!

    Oh thank you for answering!! I was beginning to lose any hope.
    I tried this, yes, but the combinations I want do not show: tilde or acute on ė,ū,ų,ą,ę, tilde on m, l, r.
    It is quite easy to do this on a PC, I cannot imagine there is no solution on an Apple.
    Any other solution?
