Using a Solarmonkey Adventurer with MacBook Air (2010)

Can anyone tell me if you can buy a power attachment for the Macbook Air that has a USB connection at the other end?
I have just bought a Solarmonkey Adventurer from Powertraveller.com, this is a solar powered charger that has multiple adapters to charge all sorts of gadgets, ie: ipod, iphone, ipad, GPS, camera's etc etc .... I doesn't come with an adapter for the MacBook Air but it would need the standard end piece the connects to the computer but with a USB at the other end.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Sally

The end connection of your power device would tend to indicate that it's output is around 5 volts, which is far below the voltage requirement for the Air. As well, the devices you mention are far less demanding of wattage as well.
Simple answer... No, there is no USB to MagSafe connector, adapter, or cable available, nor would it likely work anyway, because of the aforementioned voltage/wattage issue.

You can use the final cut with macbook air 11 x 4GB with external hard drive

I can install and use the final cut X, with macbook air 11", 4GB with an external hard drive, and them transfer to the mac pro

No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.

How to use iPhone 5 earbuds with MacBook Air 13"

As far as I know it is possible to use the latest iPhone 5 earbuds for not only audio output, but also as a microphone, if the usage concerns the actual phone. I want to use it for my MacBook Air 13" Mid 2012, but they do not seem to work. I have checked the System Preferences > Sound > Input and the Input level only rises, if I actually click on the center of the earbud controls. Afterwards, while holding or releasing, the Input level goes down again and there is no input at all.
I am not keen on other people listening to my conversations (apart from my voice, which is inevitable), hence I am trying to get this to work, but I haven't found any solution.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, that IPHONE5 earphone headset / mic works on the newest Macbook AIR see spec pic below:

MacBook Air 2010 Very Slow (even after clean reinstall)

Hi,
Problem
The performance of my Macbook Air 2010 has slowed to the point where I can hardly complete basic tasks. For comparison, I use a MacBook Air 2013 at work and do not experience the same performance issues, so I believe my expectations are not unreasonably high.
My Question
Can you please advise on what I can do to troubleshoot? I've tried the solutions listed below, all of which have failed.
I'm grateful for any help you can offer.
Problem Description
Switching contexts or tabs, operating within applications (such as Chrome, small Excel spreadsheets, navigating files), and browsing the Internet has become a slow, laggy and crash-filled experience.
When right-clicking an icon and selecting 'Open With', Finder frequently times out or requires time to populate a list of applications.
Machine is slow to the point where, unless a solution presents itself, I'll have to get a new MacBook Air.
What I've Tried
'Religiously' close all applications after use; extremely conscientious of number of applications running and their resource requirements.
Clean reinstall of OS X.
Storing all media on external hard drive to create more storage space.
Clearing cache for all browsers regularly
Always running machine on battery power
Regular reboots
Machine Specs:
MacBook Air 13-inch, Late 2010
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
Processor: 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Thanks, dominic23.
Unfortunately, it did not work.
-Tried starting in safe mode, resetting SMC, and repairing disk. Resetting the SMC helped upon reboot, but performance degraded swiftly and back at a low within 30-minutes.

Wipe macbook air 2010 to sell.

I am selling my daughter's MacBook Air 2010 and need to wipe it clean, de-identify it, or whatever needs to be done. I have another MS Office license I can reload on it afterwards, but I no longer have the any of the start up software/usb/manual etc. How do I do this, and will the operating system be lost?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

Remote with macbook air

can apple remote using with macbook air?

No you cannot use it as the new Air does not have an IR port.
So we have a great notebook, very slim and light - perfect for presentations. It just does not support the remote anymore - what a stupid decision!!!
You might recommend to buy a third party product which works with bluetooth. When doing so, you forget the following:
The original Apple Remote has a GREAT feature. You can pause a movie or flash animation which is placed into a slide at any time by pushing the PAUSE button. This is extremely helpful to explain something which is happening in your animation. This feature is gone now and this is a shame.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?
Thank you!!!

I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

Just bought a Macbook Air. I does not appear to be compatible with my LCD projector. What LCD projectors work best with MacBook Air?

My Cannon LCD LV-7210 projector does not recognize my Macbook Air nor does my Macbook Air recognize it is attached to an LCD projector. Yes, I do have the proper adapter.
What LCD projectors work best with Macbook Air? Does this LCD projector have auto-detect for computer?
Thanks!

I've just purchased a *27in (aluminium case) LCD Cinema Display* and am using it with my MacBook Pro, linked by the supplied three-jack cable (Mini DVI display jack).
The 27" display uses Mini DisplayPort, not Mini DVI.
But I also have *a white-cased MacBook (purchased in 2008) which has an older type of display socket*, certainly not compatible with the Mini DVI type.
The early Mac Book uses Mini DVI.
1. Is there a cable or adaptor available to link my older MacBook to the Cinema Display? Nothing in the online store looks 'right'
No. Mini DVI is single-link, and does not support the resolution needed for the 27" display.

Apple tv won't pair with macbook air

Apple TV 2 - trying to get it to pair with macbook air using bluetooth: The Apple TV continues to search with the spinning thing; the macbook air shows that it sees the apple tv, displays the 6 digit code that apple tv should then also display, but the apple tv just continues to search. After a few minutes, the macbook air returns a pairing failed statement. I've tried several times. I have rebooted both. Macbook air is now running OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Apple TV is showing version 7.0 (6897.5). Oh, I'm sitting 6 ft from the apple tv, but I moved to within 24 in and still same failure. Any help would be welcome. Thanks

As follow up, and for what it may be worth(likely not much), I talked to a staffer at an Apple Store the other day about this. He said this capability is meant for, and can only be used with a dedicated bluetooth keyboard. I tried this when I returned home, as my desktop iMac uses a bluetooth KB. I "unconnected" the KB from the iMac, then took it to the other room in an attempt to establish the bluetooth connection to the ATV. Still no success. And as I was attempting this, I realized that, with using the KB only, that is, no "attached screen" as with the Macbook air, I could not see how I could make a connection, because when I had previously tried to connect my Macbook Air, the Air screen was showing that it was attempting to pair with the ATV, and it displayed a 6 digit code that then was supposed to also be displayed on the TV screen attached to the ATV. If I continued to attempt to pair the dedicated KB only, how would this dedicated KB "with no screen" display a 6 digit code? So the mystery continues.

Can't logon to remote desktop in citrix with macbook air
