Hi jenette,
If you are having issues using an HDTV via HDMI as an external display to your MacBook Air, you may find the following article helpful:
OS X: How to use multiple displays with your Mac in Mountain Lion and earlier
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019
(Note: You will generally only see the arrangement option in Displays when you are configured to use the external display in Extended Desktop mode; there is no arrangement in Mirroring as both screens are showing the same image.)
Regards,

I have a Canon MP640 and I am trying to connect my Macbook Air to the wi-fi how do I do this?
I have a Canon MP640 and I am trying to connect my Macbook Air to the wi-fi how do I do this? I have been able to connect through the USB no problems.
What version of mac are you running? Have you downloaded any of the drivers/software off the website yet? If not, you will need to download and install the CUPS Printer Driver and the Canon IJ Network tool.
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp640#DriversAndSoftware
Then, you will want to open and use the Network Tool to set up the network connection

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,any ideas? thanks, Derek
Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek -
Hi, Please let me know if i can connect my MacBook Air to sony led TV ex700 using a bluetooth device?
Your Macbook Air does have Bluetooth on it... so I would assume so.
Not idea what you are trying to do though, so can't be sure. -

I am getting this error when time machine tries to back up to a time capsule. "The backup disk image “/Volumes/JUDY ARCENEAUX's Time Capsu-1/JUDY ARCENEAUX’s MacBook Air.sparsebundle” is already in use." Same time capsule has worked in the past.
First, restart the computer and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this should solve the problem.
If it doesn't work, see > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html -
My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.See if this helps:

HT4199 trying to connect my MacBook Air to my existing wireless printer
I am trying to connect my newly purchased MacBook Air to my existing wireless printer, a Canon MP560. When I go to printer preferences and try to "add" a printer I'm not allowed to type anything at all in that window. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Does the printer appear in the window so you can select it?
Try resetting the printing system.

Trying to connect new MacBook Air to printer (Canon MF4570dn)attached to my PC
I have a new MacBook Air and I am trying to set it up to print to a Canon MF4570dn hooked up via USB to my PC. I have file and printer sharing turned on. The MacBook can see the workgroup --> computer --> printer name. I have tried using Canon's print drivers and generic PCL to no avail. With the former, I get "filter' failed and with the latter, everything seems to work when I look in the printer status (shows that it is waiting to print and then just disappears (as if it has finished printing) - but no printout.
Network is avilable.Hi LindaH51,

3 of our mid 2012 Macbook Airs10.8.2 crash after update. Gave a message something like this "Some updates could not be performed due to an error" and now when rebooting I see panic...Unable to find driver for this platform...
I don't want to udate any more of these (I have 31) until I know what is causing this problem. Will I have to reimage these machines?If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. -
Can't access messages. Asks for apple ID and when correctly entered bounces back with check Internet connection and try again. Internet fine, updated to latest OS and reset, but no improvement.
I'm having the same issue. Just hooked up a Mac Mini and running the internet just fine over wifi, but Facetime isn't working. I'm going to try resetting my router in the morning.

I tried to connect my macbook air to a sankey tv,
but the tv doesn't show anything.... I used the Iwires mini display plug to HDMI
Hey LongHornRyan,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides information relevant to the symptoms you described:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
Symptoms
If you see a flashing question mark when you start your Mac, it's probably because it can't find the system software it needs to start up. Usually, all you have to do to get your Mac back up and running is remind it where its software is.
Thanks,

Trying to connect my Macbook Pro with an external Monitor - Using VGA - DVI
Hi Everyone..
Please dont classify me as dumb but every-time i need to connect my MBP to an external monitor or projector i cant
It just doesn't work... I plug it in using all the right connectors - DVI-VGA or the other way around... Anyway - i get a blue screen which tricks me... =]
After the blue screen i go straight to the page i was on before connecting the monitor...! =[
Anyway.. are there any settings i need to adjust.... =]
If there is anything that you guys know of please inform me because i am in need to use a Monitor frequently but so far i havn't been able to do it seen as though i don't know what to do.. Ive watched tutorials and have done exactly what they've told me but it still wont display anything on the external monitor. Ive used 2 MBP's - Both i've had issues with connecting them to an external display. i know its only a minor change i need to make in System preferences but i dont know which one it is...
Please - if you know please please please tell me what it is.! =]
Thanks alot!
Carl... =]I assume that you mean the blue screen is on your monitor, not your MBP. If this is the case, go to system preferences and click on displays, when the pop up box appears, click on "detect displays". See if that helps.
