I bought a new MBA and are having problems with HDMI and VGA port

Hi,
I just bought a new mac book air, and at the apple stre they recommended me a mosh mini to vga cabel. I need to use my computer for projector either hdmi or regular vga adapte. The new mba only has thunderbolt, usb, memory/card slot, microphone and headphone ports.
Does anyboody has and idea how i will  or how do i connect the hdmi or vga adapaters to the computer. I have been searching on the cables the apple store has available but the end that goes into the computer is not compatible with the ones I mentioned above.
Please any help would be of great help, because I dont know what to do. I think this is a problem with the new MBA.
thank you,

Thank you doubr.  So what I need is to buy the thunderbolt cable  and the minidisplayport to vga adapter or the griifin mini display port to hdmi tht toothpickproductions recommends, is that correct?
The one I have is a mini dvi to vga adapter and the end that goes into the computer is the same one that the minisdisplayport to vga adapter or the griffin one have, and is too big to go into the new mba. I dont know if I am confusing you more with what I am saying.
check the link below and you will see the ports the mba has
http://www.apple.com/macbookair/specs.html
  if you see the ports that mba has, the two minidosplayport that are recommending do not fit..  
So, do you know that if I buy the thunderboldt cable will either of the two minidisplay ports fit or I  need to buy another adapter for the minidisplay ports??
thank you because I am kind of confused, I did not have this problem with the macbookpro I had before...

  • We recently purchased the iphone5 (2) and are having problems with sound coming thru the earbuds when we plug them in to the iphones.  works fine with the ipad.  help please

    recently purchased the iphone5 (2 of them) and are having problems with the earpods.  no sound when plugged in to the iphone.  both phones.  works with the ipad.  help please

    Hi P5052,
    Welcome to the Support Communities ... and congratulations on the purchase of your iPhone 5's!
    It is very unusual that neither phone is working with the new earpods. 
    Have you tried a different headphone just to see if the issue is with the earpods or the iPhones?
    The article below will give you the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    Symptoms
    When someone calls, I can't hear them through the receiver or speaker phone, and I can't hear music through the speaker. I also can't be heard by someone who is calling me.
    Note: iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector. On iPhone 4 or later models, the speaker is to the right of the dock connector. On earlier iPhone models, the speaker is to the left of the dock connector.
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope this helps!
    - Judy

  • Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

    Hi
    Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
    We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
    Any further information required?
    M. Miller

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
    If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
    If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
    We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
    Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
    Have you heard anything similar?

  • It looks like the way forward is to delete any apps you are having problems with and reinstall hopefully you have your data on iCloud this seems to work

    Looks like deleting and reinstalling the apps your having the problems with works in some cases

    Hi Flash, Just some info to correct yours. First, not everyone is having a problem with FP 10.1 and there are solutions and reverting to FP 10.0 would not be the first choice. If that was for you, that's fine. If you would read the many many threads here, you would find correct information for users that want to revert back to FP10.
    Also may I suggest you read up on Firefox version 3.6.6 as this is involved sometimes with FP 10.1.
    Lastly, I think it is always better to find out what a user's issues are before offering a solution. Reverting back to FP 10.0 is not for everyone that is having a problem nor should it be.
    If your instructions solved whatever problem you were having, that's great. However, to recommend this to other users that come here for help without knowing what their problems are may not be the best advice, in my opinion.
    There are many other details in the Uninstall Instructions and also the Install Instructions that need to be followed.
    That is why it is better for each user to have their own thread and receive help for their individual issues. This is also based on their computer system configuration.
    Believe me, if there was one fix for all FP 10.1 or any other version issues, it would be posted
    Thanks,

  • HT5628 I have OSX 10.9.1 on my iMac and want to install Windows 8.1. I've read that people are having problems with 8.1. What should I do?

    I'm getting ready to partition my drive and install Windows. I've read that there are wifi and other problems with Windows 8.1. That I should use 8.0. Microsoft does not sell 8.0 anymore. They want you to buy 8.1. What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.

    Read the Boot Camp Help first. Boot Camp does not yet support Windows 8.1 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements. If you insist on installing 8.1 use a virtual machine like parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.

    computerNerd, welcome to the forum,
    You can find all drivers for your T42 on this site. I suggest you start with the Intel Chipset driver and then the Ethernet driver, after this you should use System Update as suggested by stealthth as this will install drivers for you automatically.

  • How many of us are having problems with accessing web pages?

    For five days I have been having problems accessing web pages, constantly getting the message
    Safari can't connect to server etc. etc. It takes me ages just to get to one page without permanently returning to the previous one & trying again. I have tried to use these support pages & find it increasingly difficult to just open a page let alone post anything. If this works I'll be amazed!
    I have checked with my ISP - British Telecom. who say there have been a lot of "worms" & 'viruses" across the internet in the last week. Has Safari been contaminated or is it just the www that is the problem? Has anybody at Apple investigated this problem?
    I am getting increasingly frustrated by the whole thing as nobody seems to come up with a viable answer. Even if Safari is at fault it would be nice to know where we stand & that somebody is trying to do something about it!

    Thanks for that suggestion petitbjs. I think all is OK now. It started without warning, I hadn't changed anything, I just tend to use everything on the computer as it came, I'm a bit chicken to change anything incase I mess it up!!
    Starman et al,
    I had to phone BT this evening when I found my internet wireless phone wasn't connecting when I dialled out, it was the same yesterday evening but as I was trying to phone my son in Rio & was expecting him to move house at any time, I thought he might have had the phone disconnected, or it was just something wrong their end as I had the dialling tone OK & assumed the phone was fine. I have been using the landline, both of which go through the Home Hub, all through the last week without any problems.
    Eventually the BT man had me unplugging the Hub from the mains whilst holding down the Wireless Association button, after which it was OK, however during all this (apart from when it was unplugged, obviously) I still had uninterrrupted internet service as I had to log into the BT website to check the configuration or something, & the chap seemed to think the phone's hub problem would have had nothing to do with my internet problem over the past few days.
    Anyway, things seem to be fine now, I'll just hope it stays that way but at least I can try the unplugging trick if I have similar problems in the future.
    Once again, thank you all for your help & suggestions, it is a great comfort to me knowing that I have these boards to call on for assistance on virtually any problem I have with my Mac. Before he moved to Rio I could cry "Help" to my son too, hopefully once they move & get set up with an internet connection next week we will be able to video chat (the whole reason I bought the new Mac!).
    Many thanks to all,
    Carol.

  • NEW IN THE FORUM - HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FCE

    Hi everyone!
    My name is Mauricio and I am having problems in figure out how to use the FCE. I can copy my AVCHD files from my Sony CX100 but once I input it in the time line I can't(or can not find how) edit the frames and also how to mix music tracks with the original sound.
    Please, could someone help a FCE beginner???
    Thanks a lot for the time and attention.
    Mauricio "Big Mac"

    Welcome aboard Big Mac,
    but once I input it in the time line I can't(or can not find how) edit the >frames and also how to mix music tracks with the original sound.
    Normally you don't edit in the Timeline.
    You move a clip from the Browser to the Viewer.
    In the Viewer you select _in and out_ points to define exactly which part of the clip is required. If you don't define in/outs the whole clip will be entered.
    Then move the clip to the Timeline. A simple method to do this is drag the clip in Viewer to the Edit Insert (yellow panel) Overlay of the Canvas. This will drop the clip at the playhead point in the Timeline.

  • Why are newer versions of Firefox having problems with UTF-16le (Windows default unicode set)

    I have a website that has multiple languages on it, and so I've been using UTF-16le for it. Everything was working well on multiple browsers until the last few months, when only Firefox stopped displaying it properly. I can force the page into UTF-16le, but then some of my graphical links no longer work and I cannot navigate through the pages unless I force every single page to UTF-16le EVERY SINGLE TIME. This problem is not unique to my computer, either, as this has happened with every computer I have tried in the last few months.

    As answered before a few weeks back [[/questions/770955 *]]: the server sends the pages as UTF-8 and that is what Firefox uses to display the pages. You need to reconfigure the server and make them send the pages with the correct content type (UTF-16) or with no content type at all if you want Firefox to use the content type (BOM) in the file.

  • I have been noticing that many people are having problems with Safari 3.2.

    What is going on? Does anyone know? Is Apple aware? I want this fixed because over the last hour, I restarted my computer like about 5 times and then finally decided to use, yeah, Internet Explorer . Safari used to be my favorite browser until around Thanksgiving where they started delivering horrible updates.

    I lived in Maryland for 50 years and really miss the Bay.
    Now what is your question regarding Safari?
    On second thought, you should close this window and post your own question in a new thread since you are posting in the Safari for Windows side of these Discussions pages.

    just purchased elements & photoshop 13.  We are having problems with certain parts of it.  Are we allowed to uninstall and reinstall. Was not sure what the agreement allowed. help!!

    Yes, feel free to uninstall and reinstall as many times as you feel necessary. However, this doesn't often fix problem (unless the install process didn't work in the first place or that files have become damaged or are missing since the install process).
