MacBook Air Superdrive?? Does it work with MacBook Pro

Hello,
I need an external Superdrive. Does the MacBook Air Superdrive work with MacBook Pro??

No, it does not (at least, not without opening the drive and modifying the internal components).
External optical drives from Sony and LaCie work well with the MBP. Here's ONE EXAMPLE, here's ANOTHER EXAMPLE, both from Amazon.

  • My macbook air bluetooth does not pair with a bluetooth speakers!

    Recently I bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPT631O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_de tailpage_o01_s00 speakers it pairs with my Iphone 5 perfectly, but when I try to connected to my macbook air, it does not work for me  it shows the following window, which cannot get connected to the speakers, thanks in advance for any help

    While it appears that the Mac is discoverable, since it is not seeing the speakers, you may need to check the documentation that came with the speakers to see if they are in discovery/pairing mode, and how to get them into that mode. Then try and pair them.

  • My macbook air camera does not work

    I have a macbook air 11" mid 2011   running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1  
    I need to use the facetime camera, but it says no camera is available. 
    what I have done (6 hours or research and grief later):
    After reading a plethora of forums,  I have tried:
    Migrated from OSX Mountain Lion to Yosemite..  will definitely fix your problem.   no good... 
    Installed the latest update...  yep... 
    used the disk Utility repair again just in case...   yep...   still no good.
    restarted the computer...  yep.       no good...
    open a terminal and type         sudo killall VDCAssistant
    yep that was a waste of time...  its not even on my laptop.  
    the USB camera is not in the System Information USB Tree. and under camera it says no video capture devices were found.
    Found a really helpful UTube video which suggested I Kill off a Parrot thingy...   wasnt even in the devices list...
    I have read through the plethora of forums on this problem even further... there are literally thousands of them.
    The most popular answer which Apple appears to provide is:    and by the way you keep running into this suggestion...
    One of these will fix your problem:
    (1) If restarting your Mac doesn't fix the problem,                          (NOPE  didnt fix it..)
    (2) use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090                      (NOPE  no help...   as:
    did the use Disk Utility to repair permissions thing..   yep...  still no camera...
    the USB camera is still not in the System Information USB Tree.
    (option 3 applies to me...   cant see the camera in the USB...  
    no suggestion on how to resolve that ...  but there is a (4) so I tried that...  
    I reset the SMC ...   guess what...   still no camera...  
    The camera used to work...  
    ...............................................................................      My thought and question of Apple is below  ...................................................
    I am thinking the port on which the camera communicates is disabled in the new software version, or it is reassigned to something that is in conflict with it.  The USB connection is set at the manufacture level to something which is not being detected now.
    CAN APPLE PLEASE ADVISE ME WHICH DEFAULT PORT THE CAMERA IS CONNECTED TO AND CONFIRM THAT IT IS NOT DISABLED BY DEFAULT
    Please dont tell me its a problem with the camera...   I could probably roll back to the old software, and my system would work just fine...   this has been a total pain in the neck...   and has cost me many hours...  
    Yes I am going into the Apple store tomorrow... another two hours out of my life...  probably to be told its a hardware issue and they need to take it away and charge me money to fix it..     but I will take it there and decline to pay any money.   It is out of warranty and probably not essential to the laptop to use.   It s frustrating that there is no easy fix to this problem despite the plethora of forum articles and posts by thousands of people experiencing the same problem.
    There is no way Apple can stick its head in the sand and claim its a hardware issue.  
    I have tried to look for a built-in USB camera driver for Apple Macbook Air...   good luck with that...   If the old system driver was about,  perhaps someone could check the communications ports and work out where this problem actually sits.

    There was a final outcome...       Apple determined that the IO card was faulty and they replaced it under warranty..      The camera is working correctly
    i cant argue with the results...     The card replacement has reliably fixed the problem.   
    SO my final recommendation for a solution is
    check online to make sure you can get an appointment at your APPLE shop.   
    Book the appointment so you don't waste 4 hours...   
    Check that your machine is in warranty.      If not, the repair cost to me was $85 aus...    Still not too bad considering this issue cost me 14 hours of research and a further 8 hours travel time...   
    BAck up your computer and open the password to protect your regular one.  Then...
    take it to Apple at the appointed time.     MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP YOUR MACHINE...
    WAit 5 to 10 days based on how busy they are...          If they say your card is faulty, it's hardware and no amount of fiddling about with software is going to fix the problem.        I could have saved 18 + hours..    
    Replace  the IO Card Fixed this issue...       It has not failed since getting the computer back.

  • Does the MacBook Air power extension cord work with 230v?

    Hello,
    I understand that the MagSafe power adapter supplied with the MacBook Air is compatible with an overseas input of up to 230v, as printed on the adapter itself. However, the extension cord supplied with the laptop states 125v. Furthermore, even the small plug connected at the end of the adapter states an input of 125v. Does this mean that the plug and the extension cord are incompatible overseas at 230v, but the adapter is? Then, how must I connect a MacBook Air to a 230v outlet? I do have an outlet converter that does not transform voltage. Thank you for your support.
    (The adapter states it is compatible with 100v-240v, however, the circled plug is only compatible with 125v.)
    Mukund

    Yes, for the most part...
    If you get the AC in-cord to the Adapter with your regional plug on it,
    then the need for any other shape-converter or plug kit would vanish.
    Here's an example of the Apple (UK) world traveler kit for power adapters:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit
    The part number (less UK) would be similar across all Apple Stores online
    & regional stores should have them in stock to match local/traveler shapes.
    Another example of regional parts with local plug ends, otherwise automatic
    conversion built-in, can be seen among these UK Apple Store items. {The US
    store has the local ones for North America; the AU store, for there, etc.}
    http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_accessories/all_accessories/charging_ devices
    (You should be able to buy the Apple AC cord, for a MacBook/Air/Pro power
    adapter, in the region where you hope to use it. -- Better to have the whole
    device, in case you don't find an Apple Store or authorized reseller w/ Cords.)
    Other stores with the generic end-fit shape adapter w/o power conversion
    may be found in major cities near airports or border points. Luggage stores
    and travel accessories, or a travel outdoor outfitter, such as REI, Inc.
    And then, there are those kits with a power conversion adapter & transformer
    inside; these should not be necessary with any Apple product that has a near
    universal automatic AC power switching capability built into it. You can get a
    local regional AC power cord with the local plug affixed, or use a basic kit.
    Each online regional Apple Store sales pages show these kinds of products
    with their local power plug version, so it is possible to buy the replacement
    AC cord with the correct local plug on it. No further modifications necessary.
    {Another device that won't do much good, if you can't adapt, is a DC-to-DC
    adapter; this would need to have a MagSafe cord on the exit (output) end
    so as to avoid the MagSafe adapter altogether. Such as on a boat or a train
    where you may find no AC power, only DC. Uncommon, but possible.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • After updating to Yosemite 10.10.2, macbook air Wifi does not work. What to do?

    I upgraded from Maverick  to Yosemite in Nov 2014 & my mack book air 2011 model became slow. Yesterday after downloading & updating 10.10.2,  Wifi does not work, it prompted Gatway Time out. Anybody can help please? Dr. Mostafa

    Moreover I am to add, in the same network, windows PC Wifi works & more interestingly Macbook with Maverick also connects with the same Wifi, I mean to say this is the problem with Yosemite 10.10.2. Before updating on Sunday last, my Wifi was working nicely.

  • MacBook Air (2012 release) not working with projectors

    I recently bought four MacBook Airs (all the new 2012 release) and I can not get any of them to work with an LCD projector. I have tried generic and authetic mini display adapters and have tried a few different projectors.  All I am able to see when I connect them in a black screen with lines running down. 
    Interestingly enough, if I connect the MBA to an LCD monitor, it works just fine.  Then, once I have connected it to an LCD monitor, I can then connect it to a projector.  Also, if I shut down the MBA, plug in the dongle, and restart the computer, I can use the projector immediately. 
    Additionally, I can not get the projector to work at all when using BootCamp with Windows 7 Professional.  It doesn't even see the projector at all not matter what I do.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  This is extremely frustrating and Apple is being NO HELP whatsoever. 

    Guys, I've found a workaround that works for both VGA and HDMI issues, to enable you to use the MBA at clients/concerts/universities/other offices etc. It's not elegant, but it works:
    - Turn off MBA completely
    - Plug into an HDMI or VGA (perhaps ANY) screen
    - Boot up and it'll be perfect; as others have already reported. Thus far these steps are OK for anyone who doesn't need to pre-load content. But for those of us that do...
    - Now, here's the trick, u can suspend/sleep the MBA now, THEN unplug the screen, move to your new venue, THEN plug in the ANOTHER screen/projector, and turn back on again and it'll work! Yes, even tho it's a different screen, it'll flash a bit and work things out exactly like we're used to with our older macs.
    - ie this enables you to set up an external display at work/home, pre-load all your presentation/content/web pages, close the MBA and go to client/lecture hall, then plug into a projector there without having lost your content.
    So, in short, provided the MBA is fooled into thinking it was powered up with a screen connected, it'll work thereafter. PROVIDED it is not given the chance to think otherwise ie don;t unplug screen whilst it is awake.
    This SO speaks to a perfectly solvable firmware/driver issue. Probably around power management.

  • Macbook Air internal keyboard not working with windows 7

    Hello,
    I have a macbook air 1.6ghz (1st gen) . I just installed windows 7 32bit on it and got the latest bootcamp. Everything else works perfect except the keyboard. Anyone have any drivers I could try ? I tried the external ones but I do not have an external keyboard so its not much use. Anyone have the internal driver for it ?
    *i have tried bootcamp 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2* The keyboard works perfectly on the mac side. I truly believe this is a driver issue because on the device manage under keyboards it has the driver listed as HID and under HID devices one of the keyboard drivers has a yellow exclamation mark.
    I have also tried extracting the driver from the Apple drivers folder and running it that way.
    Thanks,

    Did you install the Windows support software? Did you check in Windows sytem to see if the drivers are working? Check the Boot Camp help documnets http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ and visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • Wireless Internet ONLY Does Not Work With MacBook

    I am really frustrated with my internet situation.
    I have been in a new apartment for three weeks. I have a Motorola Surfboard cable modem, through Charter, hooked up to a Cisco Linksys E1000 router. The internet TYPICALLY works very well for both my MacBook and my wife's Dell (Windows...), but about once a day, the Internet on my Macbook stops working for about an hour, and it continues working on her computer. I can reboot the modem, the router, hook my computer directly up to the modem, whatever... it doesn't matter. It is like a curse from ****.
    I have no idea what the problem could possibly be, and it is virtually impossible to do a Google search for it. If anyone has any idea whatsoever... I don't even really know where to begin. It seems extremely unusual for Internet to work fine on both computers usually, but to randomly, periodically, stop working on just one of them. I have never had a problem like this before.
    Thank you very much.

    Have you contacted Charter? Do you have neighbors/friends you could check with when you're experiencing an 'outage' to see if they're having the same problem?
    I used a popular search engine and the search terms 'Charter internet trouble connecting' and found several choices. This link is one of several --> http://forums.speedguide.net/archive/index.php/t-146148.html
    It details issues experienced by Charter customers from now going all the way back to 2004. One of the more common complaints seems to be that the service just drops out on occasion.

  • Can two (or more) macbook air superdrives be used on mac mini

    on the new (july 2011) mac mini, can I connect two or more of the macbook air superdrives?

    I agree with John.
    We don't know how the ports are laid out, but if they're a pair (1-2)(3-4), I'd not plug both drives into (1-2) or (3-4). I'd  start with the outermost ones.
    Please report back if it works.
    And, I can't help but smile that you want to use two superdrives with the mini, because those of use who would have loved Apple to keep a superdrive in the 2011 mini, have been getting flack from those who love the omission, that the technology is obsolete, discs aren't used any more, time to move forward, ...

  • Does macbook air superdrive work with mac mini

    I have an older mac mini running 10.5.8.  Does the macbook air superdrive work with my mac mini?

    Be careful to check the spec's, not all LG's support Mac OS X.
    I really like my LG GE24LU20 Reviews it's big and bulky, but way faster and more reliable than any SuperDrive. Others here have also recommended the  GP10 DVD and Blu-ray™ Drives IT Products
    Plus, don't forget to look at > LaCie - LightScribe DVD±RW, Duplicators and Blu-ray - USB 2.0 & FireWire
