The screen on my mac book air 2011 goes dull when it shouldn't be. Any tips?
Screen on macbook air 2011 goes quite dull even when I'm operating it. It is as if the machine is going to sleep although it shouldn't be doing so.
It is a little slow to rouse from this dulled state.
Unplugging and re-plugging power socket appears to remedy this problem But it shouldn't really be happening should it? Any ideas?
Does it hapen when your rest your fingers on the trackpad? If so it can be a state of zoom....
Try different trckpad settings (Apple, system settings, trachpad)
Hope that helps

Ask about the time delivery for Mac Book Air 2011
Hi, I am the new Apple user and from Australia. I ordered Mac Air yesterday, and it stated that my item will be posted to my home by 11/08/2011. But today, a new email sent from "order acknowledgment" department, the time for delivery change to 17/08/2011. Anyone suggest me what can I do now, as I would like the item will come to my door sooner. Who can I contact with for priority ? (anyone was the same boat or not?)
Hi, give Apple a call only they will be able to advise. I do no they have had a large quantity of orders so it may be harder to get them delivered faster now.

Mac Book Air 2011, 13inches i5
OS X Lion 10.7.1I just bought the same machine you did last week - also in Oz.
As you noted, I also had issues with slow WiFi as I started using the machine. However, I upgraded to Lion 10.7.1 and have not had any noticable problems since. I did not try some of the other fixes that are suggested so I don't know if they help. -

HT1338 How to setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air
How do I setup an external HDMI screen with a Mac Book Air? I am using an Apple accessory Moshi cable interface with a Samsung Syncmaster screen SB24B300 and I am unable to get any response. Thank you.
You need to connect it to the computer using either USB or Thunderbolt. Setup is simply prepping the SSD:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. -

* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Why do the screens on my Mac Book fly off to the side?
Why do the screens on my Mac Book fly off to the side? Scrolling and clicking on open programs bring back the screens BUT I don't want them to disappear in the first place. Help?
Just realized this is occuring on an older Mac with 10.6.8 system, so no Mission Control. But I did change hot corner settings to do nothing and we'll see how that goes.
Thanks very much. -
Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?
Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

My screen on my mac book pro goes blank for no reason when I use f1 and f2 keys it comes back
You can blank the monitor using those keys, that's likely what you did, it's a feature.

Hi!, my Mac Book Air has been totally hacked, and I cannot re/install my OSX because they have also hacked my Internet, so I cannot connect my Mac to the Internet. Any suggestions to fix my poor Mac Book Air????????????
HELP..........It's best to describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible, rather than what you think is causing it or how you think it should be solved.

Mac book air freezes at times when on internet
I purchased the mac book air 2 months ago. In the beginning it worked great but lately it will freeze when on the internet. I am not running any really big programs and I am very careful when opening email attachments or opening up links so I don't believe I have any virus or anything. Any suggestions
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Why does my mac book air just shut down when working
When using my mac book air it just shuts down. I usually need to tap several keys to restart. Any help?
If you mean that it just shuts off without any warning, then this might help:

What are the exact differences betweern mac book air and mac book pro
I have not used mac book b4, and now I consider to buy a mac book. I am a college student and majoring in computer science. Can someone tell me what are the exact differences between MBP and MBA? I know the CPU in MBP is better than MBA and what else? Which one would you recommend me to buy? Waiting for your response. Thank you so much!
This forum is
Apple Support Communities > Notebooks > MacBook Pro > Discussions
So the question is relevant at least to the extent that it is asking for a comparison between a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air
MacBookAir definitely favors portability and sports a dual core i5 at 1.5GHz (max RAM is 4GB not user upgradable)
MacBook Pro has upto a quad core i7 at 2.4GHz (ships with 4GB and upgradeable to as much as 16GB on some models)
