Is there a way to predict which video projectors will not work with the 2012 MacBook Air using the Mini-display to VGA adapter?

I recently upgraded from a 2011 MBA to a 2012 MBA due to the larger capacity SSD.  The 2011 MBA running Lion and Mountain Lion worked with every video projector for lectures.  The new 2012 MBA is hit or miss with video projectors.  It is not an adapter problem.  I have multiple Apple mini-display to VGA adapters with the latest firmware.  They all work just fine with the 2011 MBA. Re-starting the 2012 MBA with the adapter and projector connected has not helped.   
It it not acceptable to have a laptop that works with projectors some of the time.  Apple is aware of the problem.  Is the only choice to go back to the 2011 MBA?

I installed 10.8.2 update today with my 2012 MBA.  The details of the update include:  Resolves a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
I tried using the MBA with a video projector and it found the correct resolution and connected with the projector automatically.  Using detect displays in the disoplay preference pane wasn't even necessary. 
I hope this is the fix I have been waiting for with the 2012 MBA.
Thank you Apple.

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

  • Is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

    I have a million photos I never intend to use in a Premiere Elements 8 production. Using the PE8 "Organizer," is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

    I do not use Organizer, so may be missing something, but I would guess that one could Sort By, and choose File Type. Remember, Organizer is for the system, and does not reflect what is Imported for use in a Project - two different things. In lieu of Organizer, I use Adobe Bridge, installed with some of my other Adobe programs.
    I would also assume that Organizer does things via folders. If one does not have any aspect set to auto, I would think that it would ONLY do thumbnails for certain folders, as directed. If one has their stills in other folders, then only AV Assets would be seen by Organizer.
    Maybe some Organizer guru will have better directions for you. I am just thinking here and speculating.
    Good luck,

  • HT4972 2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many of the Apps now available in the App store.  Is there any way to find out which apps will work with 2nd generat

    2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store?  Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

    Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
    The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
    If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

  • Converted home videos to itunes not working with ipod touch

    So I finally was able to convert some home movies to itunes but now they will not work with my ipod touch. I get a error message saying "can not be played on this ipod". I also can't get the movies to work with my ipod video (classic) either, how do I fix this? And yes there is enough space for the videos.

    if the files are in iTunes, select one (or all) and choose +create iPod or iPhone version+ from the advanced menu. try syncing the newly created file(s) to your Touch.

    Hi
    Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
    Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
    iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
    Another thing.
    If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
    iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
    However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

  • Good Morning, Are there any other donotfollow plug-ins or add ons for the version 4 of Firefox? The one available on your site will not work with version 4. Thank you.

    I am starting to affiliate market and need a donotfollow plug in or add on and the one available on your site will not work with version 4 of Firefox. Is there another place I can go or do you have another add on that will perform the same function as the do not follow you have on your site for the previous versions of Firefox? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK - to answer my own question, Apple recommend 8.2.1, but you can install 9.1.1 and it will run on a G3. Very slowly. Looks like this is the only option. Get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1036. You need OSX 10.4.11 or later though....

  • My Video chat is not working with messages.

    When someone tries to send me an invite for a video chat the green light shows up but I do not receive and invitation window to accept it.
    I am using an aim account on messages and my server settings are api.oscar.aol.com, port 443, and use SSL is checked.
    In connection doctor is says my router type is port restricted and that "This computer's network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting. I am not sure if this is the reason my video chat is not working.
    If anyone can help me please let me know.

    Hi,
    Most routers can be accessed via  Web Browser.
    The IP shown in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab in the "Router IP" box is generally the one to use.
    You also tend to need a User ID and Password.
    Apple Base Stations are different in that they have an App in the Utilities folder that accesses the set up screens.
    Your router can have different methods of opening the ports.
    Port Forwarding
    This tends to be the oldest of the methods.
    Essentially you point a port to an IP (computer) to allow it.
    A collection of ports may need to be entered one by one.
    Once set up, only that computer can use those ports.
    Port Triggering
    This cuts down the number of ports set to be Open as it involves "listening" ports that then open further ports
    iChat/Messages needs some ports to be open all the time and you set these a bit like Port Forwarding but with listing the IP to send the data to.
    The A/V side can have a listening port (port 5678 for the Visible part of the Invite)
    The advantage is that multiple computers can use the same ports.
    DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
    This is an ON or Off setting (Enable/Disable)
    It opens all the port (65535 of them) to one IP (i.e only one computer can use this.)
    It is sort of like Port Forwarding Extreme
    UPnP (Universal Plug 'n' Play)
    A setting that allows the App to tell the router which ports to open.
    This means the router can carry on doing DHCP and multiple computer can use the ports involved.
    Where these setting are varies at least as much as there are manufacturers.
    This is  Linksys Port Forwarding (the arrows above the pic show the Others  (it does not show DMZ)

  • MUSIC VIDEO -SURROUND SOUND NOT WORKING WITH 7.0

    My surround sound 5.1 does not work with downloaded music video playblack on windows iTunes 7.0. It used to work before I updated to 7.0. At first, my surround sound would not work with 7.0 for any iTunes songs, not just downloaded videos. However, that was corrected with the version 7.0.1 update. However, surround sound still does not work on videos I am trying to play back. This includes music videos that I purchesed both before and after downloading iTunes update 7.0.1. Has anyone got any suggestions for how to fix this problem so that my surround sound 5.1 will work on playback of the music videos?

    I have an Airport Express that is linked to my TV. It is interfaced to my Denon AVR. To get surround sound I had to just select the correct output option via the Denon. Then the speakers set up for SS would work.

  • HT204291 Netflix will not work with IOS 7 on my HD TV, The screen comes up but will not play video. It says i need to disable mirroring. I dont have a Apple TV any suggestions?

    Netflix will not work on my HD Tv with the New IOS7. All other and movies clips work fine. The netflix screen says you need to disable mirroring to play. It plays on the ipad but just the Netflix screen on the tv. Any suggestions?

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!
