Macbook Air at 1024 x 640 not a choice in Yosemite?

I was with a friend at an Apple Store - she wants to buy a Macbook Air but needs a lower resolution.  We could see 1024 x 640 on a Macbook Pro, but that's out of her price range.  On the Macbook Air in the Store, 1024 x 640 didn't appear (neither did 800 x 600).  Both of these are listed in the tech specs for Macbook Air.  The machines in the store are running Yosemite.
How does one go about getting this resolution?  At this point, not being able to get 1024 x 640 is a deal breaker.
Thanks

You cannot; it's intentionally disabled to guard against accidental file loss. If you press Option when pasting the files, they'll be moved instead of copied.

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

    My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

    I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

    MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
    I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
    Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
    I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
    Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
    Cheers,
    Vivek

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
    The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
    I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
    Many Thanks.
    My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
    Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
    If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

  • HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector  -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

    I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • How do I repair a hard drive that was being written to while my MacBook Air crashed? (Drive will not mount)

    My external backup drive will not mount. I have tried to mount it in Disk Utility via the app and the command prompt but the attempt times out. Any suggestions?
    I backed up my HD the day before dropping off my Mac for repair, and then tried again just before going to my appointment. During this last and final backup my Macbook Air crashed. I have since discovered that the drive will no longer mount, likely due to the crash that occured during the last attempted backup. I am unsure if the drive can be repaired.
    My logic board was short circuiting some where that controls the headphone jack. Initially this prevented me from using the jack but eventually caused my mac to crash several times before I brought it in for repair. I believe that it is the this crashing that is responsible for my back up not being accessible but that my data may still be intact.
    Thanks for any help you may have!

    If possible, attach it to another Mac and see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.  If so, run Disk Utility>First Aid.  If not, the HDD may be damaged.
    Ciao.

  • Led Light on MageSafe Charger Does not light;MacBook Air Recognizes it but does not charge

    So I've had my MacBook Air (Mid-2011) for over a year now. The reason I am posting this is because I originally had a 40W MagSafe "L" Shape that came with my MacBook Air. Well I accidently spilled Pepsi on it while it was plugged in and you get the gist of that. Well I had bought an 85W "L" Shape adapter and it works perfectly fine, no problems. I've had the 40W stored away for probably 5 months or so and recently got the itch to work on it and try to trouble shoot it. Being an IT student, I get a hunch to just take apart things and try to fix them. But anyway, I've reset the prongs on the L part itself, I've changed the plug in to the 3 prong AC instead of the "Duck Face" thing. I've checked for SMC updates and it told me my MacBook does not need it. Well when I plug in my charger, it is recognized immediately by my MacBook. But on the top where the battery level is, it says "Battery is not Charging" and also says "Power Source: Power Adapter". So I am a little confused as to why it won't charge. I let it dry out when this first happened in some rice but I am not sure that did anything for it. I also have cleaned it, like i said I reset the prongs on the L shaped adapter itself. I haven't on the other hand gone and opened it, just because messing with those adapters and any adapters can lead to you getting shocked regardless. So if anyone has any suggestions let me know, I would like to use this charger as a At home charger or my mobile charger when I go to school. Thanks!

    "drying it out" does nothing as per the acid in the soda and sticky corrosive sugar and acid left behind.
    Youve gone thru $100 worth of effort in repairing a $60 charger, and plan on more effort.
    Either a used charger online would be a cheaper option and better than possibly causing logic board damage to your macbook Air.

  • My late 2010 MacBook Air suddenly crashes and will not stay on.

    I returned from a trip during which I used my MacBook Air (Late 2010) constantly.  Upon leaving the hotel I closed the computer and put it into my carrier and did not open it until arriving at home later that day.  There was moisture on the keyboard and screen at the corresponding position in an area about the size of a 50¢ piece,  I cleaned that up and turned the machine on and it booted up and then created. Several times it would turn off and on a few times without any input from me. At times it will boot up like all is well but with any keystroke it crashes to a black screen.  If I had to guess, I'd say the HD is toast.  It was replaced under warranty once already. The moisture is a complete mystery.   Any ideas?

    What method were you using for travel? I think sometimes condensation can happen in flight. Sounds like there was more moisture on the motherboard as well. Leave it for a few days in the sunlight if possible and see what happens after that.

  • I am unable to open my MacBook Air cause my password is not working

    I am attempting to log on to my MacBook Air.  My password, which I have been using since I purchased the computer, is not working.  How can I find out why this is happening?

    What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
    Tell us what network setup you are using..
    If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

  • Cannot setup Mountain lion on Macbook air 2013 (Mountain lion is not compatible with this computer)

    I just bought Macbook Air 11 inch, mid 2013 model.

    The build of Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on your 2013 MBA is newer than what is currently available from the App Store. That accounts for the App Store blocking you. This will likely be resolved with the introduction of 10.8.5.
    True, but even so, there is no need to re-purchase and download from the App Store (not to say you're implying this, but rather just for informational purposes). When OS X 10.8.5 is released, the Software Update service will be the way to install the update, and not the retail Mac App Store.
    Hopefully, if mawy did re-purchase Mountain Lion, when Mavericks comes out then Apple will offer it to mawy for free (it's slated to be out soon).
