LG-34UM95 QHD display with Macbook Air (Intel HD 5000)

Hi,
I'm wondering if there are somebody out there knowing if the ultra wide QHD display LG-34UM95 ( http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UM95-P-ultrawide-monitor ) can be used at it´s native resolution 3440x1440 with the Macbook Air (mid 2013). I'm planning on using it with Thunderbolt or display port.
I don't seem to find any clear evidence of whether this is possibly or not - it's so far a mixed bag of answers.
Some say it's possible and others say no or that it comes with restrictions like only 30HZ or using a scaled resolution.
Regards,
Per

I recently bought this display and just as Richard (above) points out, you´re only able to drive it at 30hz via HDMI.
After changing the connection to Thunderbolt I now have full resolution at 60hz with MBA 2013.
Worrying news with Yosemite though. I'm holding of the upgrade until i know more.
What we know of Mac compatibility so far:
Mac
OS X Version
Thunderbolt
Displayport
HDMI
Macbook Air 11" 2013 (Intel HD 5000)
Mavericks (10.9.5)
3440 x 1440 @ 60Hz
3440 x 1440 @ 30Hz
Macbook Air 2011
N/A
3440 x 1440 @ 50Hz

Using 3rd party external display with MacBook Air

Hello
I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of my MBA. Questions:
* Do I have to use an Apple display or can I use any with a mini-DVI?
* Can I use an external Keyb + mouse just be using the bluetooth finder?
Thanks!

Hi,
a friend uses his MacBook with a Fujitsu screen and a no-name BT mouse... so, it should work.

Which is better(generally): MacBook Pro with Retina Display or MacBook Air?

Which is better(generally): MacBook Pro with Retina Display or MacBook Air?

Better for what? These are two very different computers. Tell us which things you are looking for and we may be able to help you. Examples - weight, standard RAM and flash memory available, video resolution, etc.
See the technical specifications articles for each -
MacBook Air.
MacBook Pro retina display.
Best of luck.

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

If you're running 10.7.5 as your profile indicates then that is the problem. You need Mountain Lion (10.8)

TV for external display of Macbook air

Is it possible to use LCD TV as external display to macbook air?
I am planning to utilize the macbook air as both portable and station PC. When I am at home, I want to be able to connect it to the LCD TV via HDMI, and then still working with wireless keyboard and mouse.
Is it do-able?
Thanks

Yes, All you need is an MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable.

If you have the 2011 MBair then you plug this into the Thunderbolt port.

I have a MacBook Air (Intel Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X 10.6.8, I would like to update to Lion, but I am not sure if I have the latest version of SNOW LEOPARD v10.6.8, do I need to update to Leopard first and then to Lion or could I just update to Lion?

I have a MacBook Air (Intel Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X 10.6.8, I would like to update to Lion but I am not sure if I need the Snow Leopard, I am not sure if I have it, or if I can just download the Lion. Please help.

Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. The dialog will display the installed version.

Just bought a Macbook Air. I does not appear to be compatible with my LCD projector. What LCD projectors work best with MacBook Air?

My Cannon LCD LV-7210 projector does not recognize my Macbook Air nor does my Macbook Air recognize it is attached to an LCD projector. Yes, I do have the proper adapter.
What LCD projectors work best with Macbook Air? Does this LCD projector have auto-detect for computer?
Thanks!

I've just purchased a *27in (aluminium case) LCD Cinema Display* and am using it with my MacBook Pro, linked by the supplied three-jack cable (Mini DVI display jack).
The 27" display uses Mini DisplayPort, not Mini DVI.
But I also have *a white-cased MacBook (purchased in 2008) which has an older type of display socket*, certainly not compatible with the Mini DVI type.
The early Mac Book uses Mini DVI.
1. Is there a cable or adaptor available to link my older MacBook to the Cinema Display? Nothing in the online store looks 'right'
No. Mini DVI is single-link, and does not support the resolution needed for the 27" display.

Apple tv won't pair with macbook air

Apple TV 2 - trying to get it to pair with macbook air using bluetooth: The Apple TV continues to search with the spinning thing; the macbook air shows that it sees the apple tv, displays the 6 digit code that apple tv should then also display, but the apple tv just continues to search. After a few minutes, the macbook air returns a pairing failed statement. I've tried several times. I have rebooted both. Macbook air is now running OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Apple TV is showing version 7.0 (6897.5). Oh, I'm sitting 6 ft from the apple tv, but I moved to within 24 in and still same failure. Any help would be welcome. Thanks

As follow up, and for what it may be worth(likely not much), I talked to a staffer at an Apple Store the other day about this. He said this capability is meant for, and can only be used with a dedicated bluetooth keyboard. I tried this when I returned home, as my desktop iMac uses a bluetooth KB. I "unconnected" the KB from the iMac, then took it to the other room in an attempt to establish the bluetooth connection to the ATV. Still no success. And as I was attempting this, I realized that, with using the KB only, that is, no "attached screen" as with the Macbook air, I could not see how I could make a connection, because when I had previously tried to connect my Macbook Air, the Air screen was showing that it was attempting to pair with the ATV, and it displayed a 6 digit code that then was supposed to also be displayed on the TV screen attached to the ATV. If I continued to attempt to pair the dedicated KB only, how would this dedicated KB "with no screen" display a 6 digit code? So the mystery continues.

I would like to know why Apple doesn't have Glossy Widescreen Display on MacBook Air

I would like to know why Apple doesn't have Glossy Widescreen Display on MacBook Air ?
MacBook Air looks like a "vintage" laptop with that horrible screen frame.

Apple may consider your suggestion if you suggest it to Apple directly.

Best.

In order to stream into a local radio station, I would need to install Silverlight. Is this compatible with MacBook Air?

Is Silverlight compatible with MacBook Air and is it OK to install? I am trying to stream into radio station and cannot, I'm told, w/o installing Silverlight. Please advise. Thank you.

Hey!
Silverlight requirements:
Mac OS X 10.5.7 (Intel-based CPU) or newer and works with browser Firefox 12+ or Safari 4+
Macintosh (Intel-based)
Intel Core Duo 1.83-gigahertz (GHz) or higher processor with 512-MB of RAM
You want to stream into a radio station?
Like broadcasting signals from you mac to a radio station?
Or do you want to lisen to radio on you MacBook Air?
If you want to stream online radio stations on your Macbook Air, it is sevral options.
1) You can download a app from App Store
2) Stream online radio from your web browser ( cud be that some websites tell you that you need Silverlight plugin)
3) You can add an radio station to an iTunes playlist (needs a few steps before you have it in playlist)

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

Remote with macbook air

can apple remote using with macbook air?

No you cannot use it as the new Air does not have an IR port.
So we have a great notebook, very slim and light - perfect for presentations. It just does not support the remote anymore - what a stupid decision!!!
You might recommend to buy a third party product which works with bluetooth. When doing so, you forget the following:
The original Apple Remote has a GREAT feature. You can pause a movie or flash animation which is placed into a slide at any time by pushing the PAUSE button. This is extremely helpful to explain something which is happening in your animation. This feature is gone now and this is a shame.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thank you!!!

Pair apple remote with macbook air, pair apple remote with macbook air

can any one please tell me how to pair apple remote control with macbook Air ????

now, I had the same issue
solved it by transforming my phone (Nokia 2700 c ) into a bluetooth remote
see this pages:
http://www.salling.com/Clicker/mac/devices.php
http://torrentsmd.com/forum.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=87892828&page=p11032817 #11032817
search in the list if the phone you have is compatible, then install the little program and you may even have a remote MOUSE by just clicking it on your phone
PS. even if it yoru phone is not in the list there is a big chance that it will work, (mine wasnt in the list and it works like a charm) it is based on java if I understand corectly and most of the phones understand that programing language.

I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:
