Mac book air internetsharing
Hello, dear fellow Mac users!
Yesterday I updated my Macbook Air (early 2013, 2,4 GHz Intel Core i7, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB: Ps I have no idea if you'r needing this?) to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I also have an IPhone 5s.
So far my IPhone connected via Internetsharing with my mac, but somehow it doesn't work anymore.
So my mac would be the router! I found various tutorials on the internet and it seemed to work somehow but the little triangle with the arrow is light grey. I think it's supposed to be black?
Any help welcome!
If you need more information just let me know!
best regards, Christina

Yeah,.... Don't use a MacBook Air to perform complex video manipulation. It is not its forte. You just have to be patient on certain tasks for which the Air is the slowest Mac. Yet, for certain other tasks, the Air is incredibly adept and zippy. One just has to understand that for processor and graphic chip related tasks, it may take longer.
The MacBook Air has certain trade-offs. If it didn't, it would be called a Macbook Pro-Air.

I have rented a movie on apple tv and wish to finish it on my mac book air. When I open iTunes on my mac book air I can not see the movie in iTunes. It is an authorised device and I can see other purchases just. How do I fix it?
Rented movies downloaded to an Apple TV can't be transferred to any other device.

Can't send email from my Mac Book Air using my Yahoo account!
I have set up my Yahoo account on my Mac Book Air but I am unable to send mail using Yahoo. The message goes to the outbox on the Mac but is not received by the recipient. It does not go to the sent box in Yahoo. Can anyone help with this please?
Go to mail preferences>accounts, make sure your outgoing server (SMTP) is set to the right network, not none.

how do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig ??? or wat files can i delete
Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way. Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model. -
I have a Mac Book air 11". Normally at home I connect this to a large Thuderbolt Screen. When booting up it some times gets confused and offers me a low resolution result, but some plugging and unplugging of the screen fixes this. I assume it sometimes "sees" the big screen and sets the resolition accordingly. Sometimes does not. But now... I am away from big screen and cannot get the Macbook air on its one to deliver anything other than really poor resolution. I ahve done displays and chosen all three - but no better. And I have said Choose the Best ONe... again not luck. Any ideas. I read in back posts this was a problem a few years ago.
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I believe you have a failing GPU (aka Video Card). Run AHT and see what it tells you. Do not be afraid to run it up to three times in succession if at first it does not detect an error (sometimes errors that are caused by overheating will not show up until the computer is stressed enough - repeating AHT will do that).
As an aside - the MBA was not designed to take the place of a desktop. If you are powering your MBA by leaving it permanently attached to the thunderbolt port on the monitor you are shortening your battery life. -

I recently purchased a Time Capsule and put my iTunes library on there so that I wasn't using up my hard drive space. Only 120gb on my mac book air. However when I download songs from iTunes I can not be connected wirelessly to the internet at the same time. Can I hard wire my TC in to my mac so that I can treat the TC as just an external hard drive? Thanks
Initially, you asked if you can hardwire your MBA to the TC. The answer is yes, by using the optional USB Ethernet adapter that Apple provides. However, in order for your MBA to access the TC's internal or USB-attached HDD, it would need to establish a network connection to it. This would be true of any NAS device on an Ethernet network. Therein, lies the problem. Your MBA cannot connect to two networks simultaneously.
One option then, would be to have two separate iTunes Media folders; one on the MBA & the other on the TC. This way, you can download the music to your MBA when connected to the Internet at the AirPort lounge, and then use iTunes Consolidate Library feature to transfer the audio files to the TC's iTunes Media Folder location. A great program to help maintain multiple iTunes Librarys and/or Media Folders, that you may want to consider, is PowerTunes. -
Mac Book Air shuts down completely if I close the cover and leave email running. Is n't it supposed to just sleep and awaken whe the cover is reopened? Instead, I have to boot it. Any idea what the problem is? I am unaware of any problem, just close the cover for safety.
Well I don't know anyone that closes the cove and leaves it for Hours... But try going to System Prefrences > Energy Saving > Uncheck Put Hard Disk to Sleep.

Home Sharing one Mac Book Air Will Not allow Music to Transfer to the MAC
First here's what we have
2 users, (2) iPhones and Mac Book Pro and Mac Book Air and a Windows PC
All computers are set to manually manage music.
I have home sharing set on all 3 computers. When l log into either the Macs or the PC I can drag music I want between either computer with no problems. All computers are authorized. When my wife logs into her account on her Mac Air she cannot move any music from the shared computers. We have separate iTunes accounts. Anyone have any idea, why when using her user account she cannot drag the music files over to her Mac AirStephenm52 wrote:

for home sharing to work, iTunes must be authorized to the same user account.
