Using a MacBook and saving my neck at the same time

I recently bought a MacBook Air with a 13" screen. It is my primary computer. I write a lot as part of my job, and I do a lot of this writing at home. This new MacBook is great, but it is destroying my neck. To get my head level with the screen, I slouch. I sit on the edge of the chair and lean back. The angle of my neck gets uncomfortable. The alternative is to sit straight up and crane my head and neck down, but this is not much better.
How can I make this MacBook friendlier to my spine? I could buy a new, larger monitor and position it level with my head, but I think it might be distracting to have two identical monitors in front of me, one little one and one big one. But maybe there is an easy way to *temporarily* turn off the screen when I have the MacBook connected to an external monitor? (Obviously, I don't know a lot about computers.)
A cheaper option might be to buy a wireless keyboard, wireless trackpad and/or wireless mouse, and put the MacBook up on a stand so the 13" screen is level with my head.
Can anyone suggest which way I should go here?

Actually I'm using this solution right now bit I'd like that when I type on the QWERTY keyboard, the Mac uses automatically the right layout and then, when I type with the AZERTY keyboard, it switches automatically to the other layout.
Maybe there is an app for that? :-)

Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.
Can't i have both schema and oledb and the exported xml be as i want it?

You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
Sorry.

Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

Using Premiere CC and Media Encoder CC at the same time

Is this possible? Doesn't seem to be. Media Encoder bails on every job as soon as you try to render anything in Premiere. I guess they don't play nice together, which is surprising. I was hoping that Media Encoder would pause and wait for Premiere to finish a render. Instead it dies on every render job, creating 0 size video files... while making a sheep bleating sound.
Is this a GPU issue? I have 2 nVidia cards, a 770GTX and 560GTX. (Windows 8.1, 16gb RAM, 3770k CPU)

As soon as I initiate a render in Premiere, Media Encoder bleats, and all subsequent render jobs bleat and produce 0 size video output files... even if I quit the Premiere render before Media Encoder reaches some of those render jobs.
I suspect this is a GPU sharing issue.... but can't be certain.
What do you mean by new install? Did I install it (AME or Premiere) recently? No. I've had Creative Cloud on my machine for almost a year, and both Premiere and Media Encoder have been updated periodically.
To my knowledge they have never worked together, but I only started using the queue feature within Premiere recently, so I haven't used AME until recently.

Using a QWERTY and an AZERTY keyboard at the same time

Hello.
Is it possible to use a QWERTY keyboard and an AZERTY one without having to change the layout in the settings each time I want to type with the other keyboard?
Thanks.

Closing and saving spreadsheet changes in the same document?

Closing and saving spreadsheet changes in the same document? There are several drop-down options for saving a spreadsheet in Numbers except saving to the existing spreadsheet. Excel has a 'save' or 'save as' options what are the equivilents in Numbers?
Thanks for any response,
Larry

Hi Larry,
Menu > File > Save (command s) will save the document. If it has not already been saved, it will offer "Untitled" as the name. Type a name and choose a folder.
Numbers (and any app on OS X Mavericks) has Menu > File > Save, and Menu > File > Duplicate.
To see Save As... hold down the option key when using the File Menu. "Duplicate" will change to "Save As..."
Regards,
Ian.

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time
Thanks,

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Thanks

Itunes 4.9 is fine but I really would recommend getting the latest Ipod updater they just made another bug fix for the shuffle in the latest Ipod updater. http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN Server and Easy VPN Client at the same time?

Is it possible to configure and operate the ASA 5505 as a SSL VPN server and Easy VPN Client at the same time? We would like to configure a few of these without having to purchase additional ASA 5505 and use a 2 device method (1 SSL VPN Server and 1 Easy VPN Client). Thanks in advance.

I don't think it is possible. Following links may help you

TS3280 How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?

How can i enable both paired bluetooth and ios keyboard input at the same time?
This is needed for the app im working on. Need some user input via keypad as well as scanner input via a paired bluetooth scanner.

You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

Can I save and open an attachemnt at the same time?

I want to be able to open an email with an attachement or attachments and click on the save button for the attachment(s), designate the location (folder) where they are to be saved - but also tell Mail to save the attachments then open them up on the desktop. Two operations in one. If you understand my request you understand what you have to do now - two separate steps. Save. Then find the saved files and open them.
OR
Open the attachment from the email which then downloads the file to your designated "all-purpose" location (not the ultimate location you'd want to save it). Then once you've seen it, you do the save thing with the original mail attachment and then have to go back and delete the file from the designated all-purpose download location.
This latter problem of having to delete unedited downloads manually could be solved with an option in Mail preferences to automatically delete unedited downloads in the "all-purpose" location after that same attachment had been downloaded to another specific location on your hard drive. This option for deleting unedited downloads does not exist, however.
But even if this step-saver option existed in the preferences, you still would not be able to tell your Mac to save a particular Mail email attachment to a particular folder AND open that attachment at the same time in one command.
That's what I want.
Maybe I want both. Save and open together plus the ability to automatically delete unedited attachment downloads in the "all-purpose" download file after the same attachment has been downloaded to another specific location on your hard drive.

with IOS 6 yes you will be able to do that
