MacBook Air Ambient Light and Screen Brightness

I've installed windows 7 on my macbook air and everything is working great for over a year now. The only thing that's not working is the auto adjustment of the screen brightness. I It is working on MacOS but not on Windows 7.
Thank you,

This is one of those situations where the word "probably" applies. It just depends on whether you want to trust a product with no stated applicability to the purpose for which you intend it.
I think I would stick to products either indicating that they are safe for use on computer LCD displays, or follow Apple's recomendation of using just water to moisten a lint-free soft towel.

  • I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?

    I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

  • HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

    I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27''). 
    Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
    I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

    I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
    Good luck,

  • Macbook Air Freeze Booting White Screen Spinning Rainbow Circle - HELP

    Hi All,
    To begin with this happened to a macbook air which has not been turn on for around a year. This is Macbook Air Mid 2011 version.
    After plugging in to charger and power on, the boot up after the grey apple logo stuck on the white screen with spinning rainbow circle, like below:
    I Did Option + Power on , and the result is like below screen:
    After enabling the Wifi connection and choosing the Recovery HD, resulted back to white screen with spinning rainbow circle.
    I wonder why there is no Macintosh HD partition like many have mentioned in other threads??
    I Did another type of Booting and after enabling the Wifi connection, still resulted Apple Support 5005F like screen below:
    I tried googling to find what is 5005F and how to fix that, but can not find anything related to 5005F.
    Please kindly help me to Fix and bring back this Macbook Air back online and working.
    Thank you Thank you Thank you...

    If you have booted into single user mode and ran "FSCK", and it will not repair, then it sounds like your hard drive is gone. 
    You will likely need to replace the hard drive. 
    Repair coverage? - Check your Service and Support Coverage - https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do.  This will also show the make and model of the device.

    You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
    And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
    A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
    There may be (an)other way(s).
    Perhaps someone with recent experience
    in this matter can reply & discuss options.
    With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
    Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have a MacBook Air, Late 2010 and would like to make complete copy of, what is best method?

    I have a MacBook Air, Late 2010, and would like to make a complete copy of everything on it. Unsure sure of best external device to purchase or if possible? Can you assist? Thanks

    You will need at least one hard drive. It can be external in its own enclosure with USB 3.0 or 2.0 cable, or an internal HD with a docking station and USB connection. If you live in the U.S., Other World Computing (OWC) is a good place to buy one. You can also get them at Amazon or eBay or any number of places. You will also need cloning software, such as Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner. You also have Time Machine on your MBA. It is better to have more than one spare disk for backup as HDs can fail at any time.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to save keyboard backlight and screen brightness settings?

    It seems like my settings for the keyboard backlight and screen brightness reset to some sort of default after I don't use my macair for an extended period of time.  Is there a way to change these settings so it always stays at what it was last left on?

    Are you making the changes through System Preferences?  If not, try that and they should hold.

  • HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
