  • I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

    I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!  Further info:  I am a complete newbie to Mac.  Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs.  Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back)  with the F4 function key.  While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it.  Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on.  So Idragged it over to display in the centre.  But that's all that's there.  And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor.  There is some wierd disconnect.  I'm sure it is just a setting thing.  Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

    Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
    Let me know if this worked for you.

  • I bought a new MacBook Air the other day and I have been trying to connect my iPhone into the laptop to charge. However every time I plug it in, the phone connects and disconnects very quickly and doesn't charge. How do I fix this?

    I Bought a new macbook air and it won't charge my phone. This is the second laptop ive gone through as i got a replacement one only two days ago for the same problem. I need to be able to connect my iPhone so I can download songs etc from iTunes onto my phone. How do I fix this?

    Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

  • I just bought a new macbook air. Now i want to sync my iphone to this computer. I copied all my songs and apps to the itunes. If I sync do i loose all my contacts and notes? because i could not copy it to itunes

    I just bought a new macbook air. Now i want to sync my iphone to this computer. I copied all my songs and apps to the itunes. If I sync do i loose all my contacts and notes? because i could not copy it to itunes

    You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
    If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes.   Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music.  To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device.  then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
    If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
    If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you.

  • I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago and now there is out a newer model

    I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago here in Thailand and found out that since 3 days the new ones where lunched. is there a chance to get the new one for no charge? it happend to me with the iphone in the US before and apple changed it to the new model for no charge. But does this service work for Thailand too??

    After 3 weeks, probably not, but it's up to you to at least try.  If you purchased your computer through Apple's online store in Thailand, there's a phone number you can call.  If you purchased the product through a premium reseller (iStudio, for example), you should take it back to the store.  If you purchased it from a dodgy storefront in Pantip Plaza, or MBK, you can always ask...but, I'm guessing that they won't help.

  • I just bought a new macbook air and i want to set it up with a new apple id. Can I delete my old one?

    I just bought a new macbook air for college and I am currently setting it up. I have had a long time apple id as a kid, but I want to set up a fresh, new one for this computer. However, the email I want to use is already associated with my old apple id, can I delete this account completely to "restart"?

    No, that is not possible as well as not preferred. If you setup a new Apple ID your previous purchases, downloads, etc. done with the old Apple ID will not longer be available unless you re-purchase them using the new Apple ID.

  • New MacBook Air backed up from my Time Capsule.  Now Mail and Safari won't open, I just bought a new MacBook Air and backed up from my Time Capsule.  Now Mail and Safari won't open

    I just bought a new MacBook Air after my old one suffered a drink being spilled on it and died.  I used migration assistant to back up from my time capsule but now it won't open Mail or Safari and iTunes can't find all my music.  Any ideas how to fix this? I have downloaded software updates.

    Thanks for that advice however now I have a duplicate of all my documents on my hard drive but the Mail and Safari will not open.  I have been able to open iTunes. I have tried to download software updates for Mail and Safari and this tells me that the download was unsuccessful ( after taking some time to download).  Can I reinstall the system?  Would that help?

    That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.

  • Just bought a new MacBook Air and tried to hook up my iPhone 5, but the computer won't recognize it. Please help!

    I just bought a new MacBook Air, updated my iTunes on both my Air and my iPhone 5, but my Air won't recognize my iPhone or if it does, it will only show up for a second and then it gets disconnected again. I know it's not the plug because my phone charges fine from the wall...

  • Bought a New Macbook Air w/Lion can I install Lion on my old Machine

    I just bought a new Macbook Air with Lion preinstalled on it.  Is it now possible to download Lion again to my old Mac, or since I didn't purchase it from the Mac Ap store I'm out of luck.  I was able to download the new versions of iPhoto, Rockband and iMovie on the old mac, but no luck so far with Lion.  I guess I'm paying $30, unless somebody has a thought?

    That's odd... I upgraded 4 Macs to Lion and have not had any earth shattering work stoppages. A little bug here and there but nothing that caused any mentionable issues.
    It is kind of unhelpful spouting off what you have read and not experienced.
    You have read about people with issues because this is a forum where people come for help. You are reading about the installs that have had issues not about the million+ that have worked.

  • Just bought a new macbook air. speakers show that they work but can't hear Skype or youtube. Can you help?

    Hi , just bought a new macbook air. speakers show that they work but can't hear Skype or youtube. Can you help?

    Have you checked that they are selected in System Preferences>Sound>Output tab?
    If that doesn't help, and although I've never had to use it myself, I've read on here occasionally that launching Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder and messing with the settings in there can sometimes sort out audio problems.

  • Just bought a new macbook air, how can i install my iphotos from my mac desktop to the air

    just bought a new macbook air, how can i install my iphotos from my mac desktop to the air
    Bill

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed 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.
