Settings to connect Display to Mac Air 11 inch? Display by VGA shows same wallpaper as Mac but no Icons or text on display.

Can you help get my Display connected (not physically) to Mac Air 11 inch brand new?

This means it is in extended display mode. Read this article about using external displays with your Mac.
I hope I answered your question.

  • I purchased a text tone from Itunes.  It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone.  Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts?  Or I am stuck with factory settings?

    I purchased a text tone from Itunes.  It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone.  Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts?  Or I am stuck with factory settings?

    So it is conseidered a customized text tones even if it was purchased through iTunes?  Confusing.  Since I bought it through itunes as a text tone I assumed it would work.  OOOPS
    Thanks so much

  • I have an old I pod that was syncd with a windows computer, now i am trying to sync with my mac itunes account.  We have the same i tunes account but it is saying i will lose all my songs if i sync now.  Help?

    I would recommend you use a program called senuti that allows you to copy your songs over to a new computer from an iPod. Unfortunatlly you have to pay for the full version but it allows you to have 1000 free song capacity of copying over and a movie counts as the capacity of 1 song.

  • Created document on Mac Air Pages, saved it to USB drive formatted to ExPat but on Windows 8.1 desktop, this file came up as a JPEG image.  Any ideas please?

    I created a document on new Mac Air 11.6 Pages and saved it to a USB flash drive, formatted with ExFat.  However, on Windows 8.1 desktop, this shows and opens as a JPEG file rather than in MS Word.  When I try to open it with Word, it cannot be edited.  Any ideas please?

    Of course Windows (Office) can't open a pages document.... you have to save as word or export to word.
    I took it for granted you knew this (that's my fault). Each word processor has it's own language (programing). Saving the pages file to a disk and putting it in a windows machine then opening it is like someone mailing you a newspaper  or magazine in a foreign language you do not read and wondering why you only looked at the pictures.
    Not only are you new to Apple it's now apparent you are unknowledgeable about using and understanding technology.
    This is basic stuff... Some classes or books on how to transfer/exchange files from one application and operating system to another will help you... or ... just stick with one operating system and applications.

  • I have a iMac and a Mac Air. Do I have to pay twice for MAC OS X Lion?

    Do I have to pay twice for MAC OS X Lion for my iMac and MAC Air?

    No. You can install Lion on all systems you own from a single purchase. Either copy the installer before you run it on the first system and transfer it to the other system, or purchase and download it on one system, then log into the App Store on the second system go to the Purchased tab and you'll be able to download the installer again without charge.
    Regards.

  • I recently sold my Mac Air to a friend, he wants to use iTunes Match, but it says he can't for another 40  days because it was attached to my account.  How can I get that turned off so that he can use his account and turn on iTunes match.

    I reecntly spold my mac book air,to a friend, when he tries to use itunes match it says the computer is registersed to another user and cannot be done for another 40+ days.  How do i get that to turn off.  I have unregistered it under my account.
    thanks s

    You either have an incredibly complex computer setup or I think you are confusing terminology here.  If you have iTunes set to share your library with others in your iTunes preferences then other computers in the area will see it as an item when they are running their iTunes and have it set to check for shared libraries.  Your husband is probably seeing this when running iTunes on his computer.  You can disable this sharing on your computer and/or he can set his not to pick up shared libraries.
    By the way, an iTunes account is something you log into when you want to buy something from Apple.  On your computer it is simply your iTunes collection or your iTunes application.  So you need to turn off sharing in your iTunes application preferences.
    Your husband is seeing "his" iTunes collection when running iTunes, but it is possible he doesn't have anything in it if it is a brand new computer.

  • New mac air running hot!  Anyone having same problem?

    I downloaded Lion last night on my Mac Book Air (purchased Feb of this year).  The fan would hardly run before as computer would rarely get hot.  Now it is running constantly since download.  Anyone else having similar issue?  Is there a solution to this?

    I had the same problem Mac late 2010, 2.13 Intel core duo 4GB RAM 2
    Lion was installed as update.
    as result:
    CPU on 80 °C and to keep it between 70 and 80 °C fan had to work on 6500 RPM.
    I used Istat.
    repaired permissions, no result, reset the SMC and so on... no results.
    lately reading also other posts, I started to disable 1 by 1 the start up items.
    the antivirus Sophos +  the time machine auto back up -on off was quite successful
    now I have a 4000 RPM = quite decent as noise level and CPU at 40-47 °C.
    had nothing to do with the flash or browsing, and so on.
    Spotlight, yess is pushing the temp up, but is not running 24/7
    Check your startup items, the answer can be there
    Maybe helps
    Good luck!

  • I downloaded an album on my phone, using my itunes account which is connected to my mac and the album is not showing up on my mac, what do i do to get it onto itunes on the imac?

    You should be able to copy it from the iPhone to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases

  • PSE8 for Mac.  Where is the slide show option in the Mac version?

    I just watched an Adobe TV video on how to do a slide show in PSE8, but when I go to my CREATE tab, the only slide show option is "PDF Slide Show" and when I click it, it bounces me back to Adobe Bridge and gives me a very limited set of Playback options and then produces a PDF document and not a slide show.  Where is the Create Slide Show in the Mac version of PSE8? 

    Hello,
    The not-so-satisfactory answer is that, that's all there is: the pdf slideshow file is output from Bridge and plays (in my case) with Adobe Acrobat.   That is, Adobe Reader will also open the pdf and play / progress at whatever time interval is selected with the Bridge pdf maker controls.   
    I agree: that you have to start by selecting the pdf creation in Pse 8 -which then bounces you to Bridge - is quite unintuitive.    I'm just supposing that, since Bridge is literally the "bridge" to this process, it made sense to follow this logic when creating the Pse / Bridge software.   

  • HT204291 I can connect to the apple TV but I am not getting display only sound with my IMAC mid 2011 and MAC Air 2012 both with Mountain Lion OS

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion after purchasing Apple TV yesterday from Best Buy.
    I have signed in on the same wi-fi network (comcast 30mbps)
    I was able to see photos from my wifes Iphone but not my IMac or Mac Air
    Both computers connect but I am only getting audio.
    I updated software on Apple TV
    I shut everything down and reset my router. My Mac Air 13" 2012 was able to see the desk top but not anything that I was doing and then it disconnected.
    I also tested the internet speed on the Apple TV but it just told me it was finished. (no results)

    WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

  • Firewire to mac air ?

    all my itunes is on ezquest storage w/ firewire ports only.
    how do i transfer that to mac air????
    mac air only has USB port.

    Plug it into a Mac with a FireWire connection, put both that Mac and the MacBook Air on a network, start Personal File Sharing or File Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences on the other machine, choose Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu on the MacBook Air, and provide the other machine's IP address followed by an administrator username and password on it.

  • TS1398 Despite all my software are up to date, How can I connect to iTune? store. I can access itune store on my Mac( Lion ) but cant do the same form my iPhone that is synced with my Mac. Please help as I cant update my useful apps.

  • When I try to sync my I phone 4 to my mac air it won't show up only my iPad not the phone help please

    When I try to sync my iphone to Itunes on my mac air ti will not come up
    My ipad works ok but not the phone help please

    Hello Canonball,
    It sounds like your iPhone is not showing in iTunes so it will not sync, but your iPad works fine. If you have already restarted your phone, (Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430), I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
