Screen bug macbook air 11 inch

MacBook Air (11-inch, begin 2014)
OSX 10.10.3 (14D136)
Hello, when saving a document (specially via preview) or sometimes when I want to print - the screen doesn't show the entire window (so you can't see the 'save' or 'cancel' or 'print' button. Scrolling doesn't work either - so you have to guesstimate and use the tab button and just click and hope it works.
Does anyone recognize this, and is there a solution?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Zoom is also controlled by  (Apple menu) System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom.
If you cannot control your screen well enough to access System Preferences, press the key chord command option 8. That will toggle zoom on / off.

    How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Led monitor screen?

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

  • Intermitent Black screen on macbook air

    My macbook air screen goes black whilst working.  It comes back but it appears to stay black longer now.  I also have had the screen go grey with an alarm sound.  Has anyone experienced this?  Should I worry ?

    I would take it to the Apple store and have it checked out.  That doesn't sound like an option that can be changed.

  • Get VGA screen on macbook air

    Hello,
    I have an embeded device called "eBox 3350MX" which has a VGA port (RS-232 / Serial). Now, I found that PL2303 cables give Mac's connectivity USBtoSERIAL which is good. However, what I want to know is if there's a software that will allo me to get the output of the embedded device on the mac screen, on a sort of terminal window etc.
    Otherwise I'll have to buy a JTAG cable and try to connect to the device console, which something I never done before. The problem is that I don't have access to any other stable computer, just the macbook air.
    Best Regards
    ps. I'm on Lion.

    Hello William,
    Thanks for the reply. I'm an ignorant when it comes to hardware and connectors/adapters.
    Then as I see it, my options are:
    a PL2303 USB-to-Serial cable and then a so-called J-tag cable which enables the 'console' on the device along with specific software which will permit me to read the output
    Buy a low cost VGA screen and watch the output on the screen
    The 2nd choice might be optimal if I find something small and sleek as I will be able to display some info like weather conditions, headlines etc.
    Thanks for the help.

  • 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.

  • Macbook pro screen vs macbook air screen - Color "capability"?

    Hi,
    I've been trying to find information comparing the late 2011 15" Macbook Pro with high-res screen vs the 11" or 13" macbook air screens but I could only find one answer saying that the color gamut on the MBP is much better (wider) that on the MBA.
    I think I've been around the other factosr (speed, memory, weight, size, etc..) between MBP and MBA but the last thing I wanted to figure out was the screen. I am into photography and I wanted an Apple laptop that shows the "best" colors. I think that will definitely make an enormous difference in my decision between MBP and MBA.
    Any thougts on that? Maybe you know some tests that have been done on color rendition?
    I was going to post this in the MBA discussion section but I thought I'd see what kind of feedback I can get here first.
    thanks a lot!!

    The MacBook Pro 13" screen resultion is1440 x 900 which is actually higher than the 13" MacBook Pro, which has a 1280 x 800 screen. In fact, the MBA 13's resolution is equivalent to the MBP 15's resolution, which is also 1440 x 900.  So, if you are looking at that point, and that point only, the 13" MBA is pretty nice.  It's the lack of a dedicated graphics card, limited RAM (I believe it's soldered into the motherboard), slower CPU (dual core i5), no Super Drive and a few other things that swing it over to the 15"MBP. 
    I think the MBA has it's place.  It's a big step above the iPad in usability.  But it's a big step down from the upper end of the MBP platform.  The only place where it gets close to flipping a coin is the 13" MBP vs. MBA.  I'd take the MBA almost every time.

  • Adding another screen for MacBook Air

    I have a late 2008 MacBook Air, and am looking to add an additional screen when working in my home office---drag and drop screen to screen.  Does anyone have suggestions on docking station or way to this?

    BTW:  I am aware on how to do this, when you can plug the mointor directly into the laptop or there is a specific docking station.  I am just looking for the best options available for MacBook Air.
    Thanks!

  • Freeze and blue screen flicker macbook air

    My macbook air freezes when I open it up and then a blue flicker before the sign on screen appears.  Is it a bad motherboard?

    it could be something as simple as you needing to reset your SMC and PRAM to needing a new logic board. you best bet is to head to your neared Apple Store (if you there is one near you) or find the closest AASP.

  • Random Black Screen Flash Macbook Air and Apple LED display

    So I have started to see an issue with the new Macbook Air and my Apple LED 24" display. Randomly only maybe 2-3 times a day the screen will go black and then quickly come right back, like a blink. Anyone else see this behavior? This does not happen with the internal built-in screen on the MBA. Feels like a driver or software issue to me.

    Hi Steve,
    I have the same model you've mentioned. Although my issue is not the same, at times when I open my laptop up, I have a black screen, and have to manually power-down. I can tell the keys still work, as I use the brightness buttons and can tell the contrast is getting higher.
    Also last night my keyboard/trackpad stopped working, however the power button did bring up the shutdown options but the trackpad still did not work.

  • Deformation of the lift screen of MacBook Air

    Hi,
    I have a bit problem with my MacBook Air, the black plastic that serves as a hinge to lift the screen is a bit deformed due to have the macbook air running a total potential during a few hours, the hot air that expel the fans has caused this. That worried me a lot, should I go to the apple store about it? The deformation it isn't very important but I'm worried about becoming more important if I use it more times running a total potential.
    Sorry for my poor english.
    Thanks.

    should I go to the apple store about it?
    If it is of concern, then absolutely you should do so. That particular part should have no heat related deformation at all. Whatever the cause, you should seek to remedy it before it becomes a problem for which Apple may deny coverage because you ignored obvious symptoms.

  • Can you help? I can't login past first screen on macbook air

    My boss just bought a brand new macbook air for me for work.  Has Yosemite OS.
    after successfully  migrating apps/etc from my macbook pro, I shut down the air for the night.  This morning, I tried to log in using my other macbook pro signin -- didn't work.
    I'm curious - how do I troubleshoot this without even being able to access anything past the login screen?
    And of course, more importantly, how do I get past the login screen?
    Thank you!

  • Sharing Screens in MacBook Air

    Hi,
    I Have a MacBook Air from 2010 with OSX Lion, 1,86 ghz Intel core duo and 2GB RAM. I am not able to use Sharing screens. I have a makbook from 2008 , with Lion too, and i haven't any problem to use  Sharing screens with the macbook air. Anybody can hlep me?
    Thnak you so much

    What you want to do is very possible and done every day all around the world. But to do that you must have passwords on the users accounts you are trying to access on the other computer and login to that other computer not use the Guest account. Since these are both your Mac's you shoud have the same Username and use the same password for that username account on both. This makes it much simpler to logon to the other computer.

  • Blank blue screen on macbook air

    I've suddenly got a blank blue screen on a first gen Macbook Air (the Mac equivalent of the blue screen of death I'm afraid).  It will run the start-up without a sad mac to the point of the blank screen and then nothing.
    I suspect the hard drive, but would appreciate any additional information.
    Is there any way to access the disk to see if I can get any of the data?  (in truth it's my mother's computer and no, she did not keep a current back up)
    M

    Try starting up while holding the Option key down. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk.
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the PRAM
    If that doesn't help, startup in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    If you can access Safe Mode, you may be able to retrieve files, but no guarantees.
    To restart normally, click Restart from the Apple menu.
    Tip... when posting for help, please tell us which OS X is installed. Some troubleshooting can depend on that.
    If you aren't sure, when you are Safe Mode, click About This Mac from the Apple menu.
    The version is noted there.
    If you couldn't boot in Safe Mode, try repairing the startup disk.
    For v10.7 or later, restart the Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access OS X Recovery to repair the disk.
    If the Mac has v10.6 installed, insert the install disc that came with the Mac.
