Whenever I plugged in HP laserjet M1132 printer usb to my Macbook air,a screen pop-out "the disk inserted are not readable by this computer".I uninstalled

Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.

Here is what worked for me:
I reset the System Management Controller on my MBA. To do so requires shutting it down, keeping it plugged in to power (I also unplugged both USB connections), and then from a powered off state I simultaneously pressed Shift + Ctl + Option + Power (I did this once and it did not work so I tried again and did it 3 times just to be safe), then released them at once, then I pressed the power button. Problem solved.

I also tried uninstalling the using the repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and moved the HP Printer software accessories to the trash (you can search the web for how to do that but that did not solve the problem either). Neither of these options worked.

New to Macbook Air. Screen suddenly expands to 4-500% for no apparent reason. Have to use back arrow to return but lose what I've been typing. What am I doing to cause this?

Next time you want to put your iMac screen to sleep, try switching off the Magic Mouse, wait for the notification to come up on the screen telling you the Magic Mouse has been disconnected, wait for it to disappear then press the keyboard shortcut to put the screen to sleep. See if that helps and we'll go from there. If that doesn't help, can you just say wether the screen always turns back on the same time every time?
Hope that helps

I purchased a 3rd party mini displayport to hdmi adaptor. My 2011 macbook air with thunderbolt wont detect the display.

Is the display turned on? Sometimes it is the simplest of solutions, when details are missing.

I bought a used macbook air, it didn't come with the flash drive to do a factory reset. Can I download the info needed and save it to my own flash drive and then do a factory reset? If not what can I do?

If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, click here, phone Apple, and order a replacement.
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart it with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

Does apple care cover macbook air cracked screen

ddoes apple care cover macbook air crack screen

It is very common knowledge and very clearly stated in the AppleCare agreement that AppleCare does not cover damage from accidents, but only manufacturing defects.

My macbook air's screen flashes.

my macbook air's screen flashes when I restart it or sometimes when I am using it, and I cannot read those words because it is so fast, could it be something serious?

This is kind of a wild guess.. Check System Preferences > Universal Access > Hearing tab > uncheck "Flash the screen when an alert sound occurs".

Macbook air 13 screen flicker

I have a problem with my 2 week old 13inch i7 macbook air. When the the screen powers down and I press a button to wake the computer the screen flickers black and grey and requires me to close the screen to get rid of it. It now flickers constantly - only slightly but it's very annoying. Any ideas? This is my first apple computer and it has been great till now.

Found another forum with the same problem: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1560774, including another youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaGOKuwqsaw. The severity of the problem in this link looks worse than my problem. Mine is less severe than what's in this video, but more severe that what's in the first youtube link I provided.
The posts in that forum claim: 1) the problem began after upgrading to a newer OS, 2) it occurs after waking from sleep, and 3) that closing the lid for 10 seconds is a work-around fix.
Would be great if Apple fixes this. I won't buy another Mac, desktop or laptop, if they don't. Macs are too expensive to only get 2 years from, and in my opinion thay are not that much better than other options. I'm going to post a bug report on Apple's web site.

Macbook air 13" screen goes black while using iTunes

I have an early 2014 13" Macbook Air with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, and I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. When I'm using iTunes, specifically when I'm watching a movie or TV show, the screen will randomly go black, but not like it turned off. The audio still works, but I can't see the cursor or anything. The only way I've been able to fix it is to completely turn it off (control+command+power) and turn it back on. It happens pretty often though, and as you can imagine, gets quite annoying. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air blank screen, no start-up and three beeps - but now fixed?

Hi - My MacBook Air 2011 11in 64GB wouldn't start up for the last three days. It was working fine, then the screen went bonkers and I turned it off by holding down the power button. When I hit the power button again, there was no start-up, the screen stayed black and there were three beeps, short delay, three beeps again. I Googled and it seemed that it was a RAM problem, so I was planning this morning to take the machine to Dr Apple. But just to be sure there was still a problem, I tried starting it one last time and it started up as normal and seems to be working fine now.
Should I still get it checked out? I had been travelling and using it in some pretty hot temperatures when it died, and it's now back at home where it's cooler - could the problem have been something to do with the heat, do you think?
Don't want to use it if I'm making a problem that's there any worse. Much appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Before taking it, run Apple Hardware Test. If your Mac came with an USB drive, insert it and press D key while your Mac is starting. Then, run an extended test and check if it shows a problem.
If your Mac didn't come with an USB drive, press Option and D keys while your Mac is starting and run an extended test. If you see an error message, copy it here

My MacBook Air won't always come on when I open it / press the power button

Hi,
I bought my MacBook Air a few months ago and in that time, a few times the screen has randomly gone black for a few minutes and then come back on again.
This morning I just couldn't get any life out of it at all, and on this forum I found a thread which suggested shaking! Well I had tried the various button options and nothing was working so I shook it hard and now it is working again - thank goodness because I have lots to do and not easy to get to an apple store without planning.
The thing is - it seems to me that if something happens randomly and shaking helps it must be a loose connection? It also seems to be quite a common problem because a number of people have described this and given me this 'temporary' solution. Did anyone find out what is causing this and is it anything I can fix or do I need to take my MBA back to the store? If so - can they fix it there and then or will they give me a new machine - I can't manage without it! Can someone who has had this problem tell me what happened in the end or did the shaking sort it out once and for all? I need a laptop I can rely on..
Advice would be appreciated
Many thanks
Sam

MacBook Air Full Screen Display

Why does my MacBook Air not go full screen when the display is set at 1440 x 900? I have to set the display at 1024 x 640 to get a full screen display. Thanks.

Hi forever free,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. Depending on your model of MacBook Air (post-2010), the native fullscreen resolution should be 1440 by 900 (16:10 aspect ratio) for the 13 inch and 1366 by 768 (16:9 aspect ratio) for the 11 inch.

MacBook Air (2008) screen contents on iMac (2011)

I have a MacBook Air from 2008 and I would like to connect it up to my 2011 iMac so that it displays the contents of my MBA on the iMac's screen.
I saw that this is easily achieved with a Thunderbolt cable, but my MBA doesn't have that option: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP501
Is there a way to achieve this please?
Thanks!

Thanks Niel, I tried that, managed to get it working but for some reason the screen would only show windows off to the right of the screen i.e. out of view, you'd actually have to put the window off the screen to see it on the other Mac, weird?!
Anyway, the fans started to go and it was a little laggy, plus it will cost money after some time, so I decided to go the cable route.
It looks like I have the "Apple Micro-DVI to DVI Adapter" (part: MB203G) which came with my MacBook Air and so I would need a Micro-DVI to Thunderbolt converter like this:
