Problems with TV display for MacBook Air

I currently have a MacBook Air that I am trying to hookup to my HDTV. I have a MIcro DV to VGA adapter, followed by a VGA Cable, then a VGA to DVI conversion cable plugged into the TV. When I plug it in, the Macbook Display changes, but I get absolutely nothing on the TV. I realize it might be an issue with cable conversion, but Im also wondering if there is any other way to hook this up eg. Mini DV to component, S-Video etc. THanks in advance

Try installing the combo update from here. http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_6_ComboUpdate

Using tv as external display for MacBook Air?

Does anyone know how to use a 21.5" Samsung LED TV with 1920x1080 resolution as the external display for a MacBook Air A1369 running OS X 10.6.8 (broken screen)?

I guess you have to buy a Belkin HDMI routing cable. From Thunderbolt/Display port to HDMI.
Then plug it in to your macbook and into your tv. Then press CMD+F1 and voila.
If you still have any problems, i like to hear from you.

Using iMac (Target Display Mode) as an External Display for MacBook Air

I have a Mid 2010 iMac with a 2 thunderbolt ports. I now have a brand new MacBook Air (2012 Core i5 1.8GHz with 8GB RAM) with a thunderbolt port. I have a Belkin Mini Displayport Cable to connect the two. I want to use the iMac as an external monitor for the MacBook Air. I cannot seem to get this to work. Can I do this? Do I have the right cable?

You can do it but you need a thunderbolt cable to connect the two. Then just hit CMD F2 on the iMac and it will enter Target Display Mode.

Did someone have problems with the screen of macbook air?

HI, I have been since august without my macbook air, that i bought on february of this year (2011), because my screen have a scratch since i came back form China in august. My explanation is the differences of temperature between the to countries.
The true is that here in Chile the costumer services of "MacOnline" (the store) is the worst, they had my mac since august and i hadnt even receive an email from them. I've already spoken to the Chief of operation from maconline,, but not even her have given me an answer for my problem. I have my guarantee till next february and i'm afraid that i wont have my mac for another year. Does someone have a tip for this situations?
Thanks,
Hector

Hi Hector,
It sounds like the first thing you need to do is get your machine back from MacOnline. There's absolutely no reason it should take close to five months for any service on the machine. That being said, I don't see Chile listed for contact information here - http://www.apple.com/support/country/
However if you want to make the toll call to Apple (US) and explain the situation and your experience with MacOnline I'd like to believe that they can offer their best assistance towards an alternative.

27-30" display for MacBook Air (2011)

Hi all,
Looking for recommendations for a 27-30" display for my MacBook Air (aside from the obvious choice - the Thunderbolt display).
My MBA is the latest (2011) model with Thunderbolt, 1.8GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM...
All suggestions welcomed. Any help would be great!
Cheers

Your iMac does not support TDM via Thunderbolt so you are probably using the wrong cable, 2009 iMacs do not have Thunderbolt input, therefore connecting via a Thunderbolt cable simply will not work because your iMac does not "understand" the Thunderbolt signal. However you can try a Mini-Display port cable and see if that works.
Let us know what you find out.

Problems with WiFi between my Macbook Air and Iphone 6

I have a Macbook Air (I purchased it around Dec. 2013)
My problem has been happening lately the past few months.
If my iphone 6 is connected to my Wifi here at home and it is plugged into my Macbook Air, the internet on my Macbook stops working.
I have to turn the Wifi off on my phone, for my macbook to regain it's connectivity and begin to work.
My hotspot is not turned on on my phone, or anything like that to prevent my Wifi from connecting on my Mac, but this problem happens EVERY TIME my phone is connected to my macbook.
Is this happening with anyone else? Is there something I'm probably overlooking?
Please help.
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013)
1.3 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OS X ver. 10.10.2
iPhone 6, 64GB, Gold (Verizon)

Update:
So just that quick! I updated to iOS 8.2 and It seems like the problem has went away.

Using iMac and the display for MacBook Air

Evening all
I'm trying to hook my MacBook Air up to my iMac in order to use my iMac as the Macbook's display.
I've just been out and bought a thunderbolt cable, plugged one end into my Macbook and the other into my iMac... pressed command + F2 but nothing happens?
I've also tried command + ctrl + F2...
Where am I going wrong??
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately the instructions do not help me... They suggest that the target display should function provided that a thunderbolt cable is plugged in to each device... however, when I press Command and F2, nothing happens?
I've tried rebooting both computers, resetting the PRAM and nothing works?

PROBLEM WITH COPYING ITEMS ONTO MACBOOK AIR VIA FLASH DRIVE

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS MACBOOK AIR AND I'M ALREADY HAVING TROUBLE MOVING/COPYING ITEMS FROM A FLASH DRIVE ONTO THE MACBOOK. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!! THANK YOU!

I'm sorry about the caps. I realized that I was typing with my caps lock on, and was too lazy to rewrite this. The thing is that when I try to copy pictures, videos, and music onto my macbook via flash drive, it says it's copying but then when it's finished, the library goes blank. There's no error message with it; my folder goes completely blank.

I have problem with flash on my MacBook Air 13 2013 with ML 10.8.5

The problem is that every time I want to display website with flash content (like youtube) I have kernel panic. The same situation is on firefox and Safari. On Google Chrome everything is working fine, but it has built in flash. I've tride to reinstall flash, remove it using adobe uninstaller, correct permissions etc. I've event tried to make new account on my computer but always it happens again. Video is trying to start, and I have kernel panic + restart the mashine. It's strange that I don't have this problem on my late 2012 mac mini with the same version of OS, browsers and flash. I'm confused... Can anybody help me with that?
Macbook has 3 days so I can say that it is clean OS. I've only installed Creative Cloud software, MS Office, and web browsers, so I think it's not the issue.

Heat problem with multiple display (retina Macbook)

Hello.
I'm using retina Macbook pro 15".
It is totally fine when i'm using macbook by itself.
However, the temperature and fan speed increase whenever I plug in displays.
If I use just one display, the change is not noticeable, but if i plug another display, GPU die temperature goes up to 75 degree C and fan speed become 3000rpm (from istat dashboard).
If I use 3 displays (one thunderbolt, one hdmi and one with hdmi to mini dp), fan runs around 4000rpm which is quite annoying.
Of course, above testings are all done in idle state.
Is it normal or need to be fixed?

this is normal. When connecting more monitors, the GPU has to render more pixels, thus making it work harder, driving up the temps and triggering the fans to blow more air.

Dual Display - help with Cinema Display for MacBook Pro where MB won't detect displays.

I just got a Cinema Display (a1081 20") ("CD") off eBay to use as a dual screen with my Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 ("MB"). However, I can't get MB to recognize CD! I've tried power cycling both the MB and the CD with and without USB cord connected. MB won't recognize CD display in any situation. However, it is recognized in some capacity although I can't use dual display because the CD power button triggers MB to ask me if I want to restart, shutdown, or cancel.
Any help is appreciated!!

Have you tried smc and pram resets?
Try Detect Displays in the Displays preference pane.
Does the Displays preference pane Arrangement show two screens? If so do click gather windows and check the resolution setting of the new screen.

Problem with hearing sounds from macbook air, through earphones.

This happened just recently, my mac won't "send" sounds or music to my iphone earplugs. What to do?

did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
* this occurrence is being looked into.
Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
Test this and re-verify
peace

Problems with exporting display for oracle apps installation

Platform : RedHat Enterprise Server 4
I'm trying to do a 2 tier installation of Oracle Applications.
As part of the install, I need to generate a display that can be used by the applmgr user, but bellongs to another user.
When running the following command line, I get an error message.
xauth -f .Xauthority extract - $DISPLAY | rsh -l applmgr localhost /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth merge -
connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying krb4 rsh...
connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh)

Does anyne have an idea? I've done some troubleshooting, but I can't figure out what is wrong.
I have added the following in the xmgr and applmgr's profiles
DISPLAY=localhost:13
export DISPLAY
The vnc server runs on display 13

setup_oracle_1.sh - Installation Step 1 : Add oracle user
#!/bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin
groupadd dba          # group of users to be granted with SYSDBA system privilege
groupadd oinstall     # group owner of Oracle files
useradd -m -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle -s /bin/bash
passwd oracle
setup_oracle_2.sh - Installation Step 2 : Prepare installation directory
#!/bin/sh
. ./oracle.env
BASE_DIR=/`echo $ORACLE_BASE | cut -d'/' -f2`
mkdir -p $ORACLE_BASE
chown -R oracle:oinstall /$BASE_DIR
chmod -R 775 $BASE_DIR
mkdir -p $ORACLE_VAR
chown oracle:dba $ORACLE_VAR
chmod 755 $ORACLE_VAR
setup_oracle_3_apps.sh - Installation Step 3 : Start installer
#!/bin/sh
. ./oracle.env
. ./setup.env
sysctl -p ./oracle
su oracle -c "export DISPLAY=:0.0 && $ORACLE_SETUP_APPS/Disk1/rapidwiz/rapidwiz"There are some steps afterwards, but with this I'll usually end up with a complete installation.
