Using a stand with a macbook air

How do you set up a MacBook Air to go into a Book Arc stand without it going to sleep?

You need to close your macbook in order to place it into Arc, so it needs to go to sleep.
Official party line is that after it falls asleep , you should simply wake it up using keyboard:

    Can I use Apple TV with my MacBook Air?
    The promotional material online doesn't make this clear but I like the sound of what' said on Apple TV.
    I'll buy one now if it works!

    In what way? You can use home-sharing to stream your iTunes library and Photos. If it's a recent MBA then you will also be able to mirror when Mountain Lion is released.

    As long as it's USB, any one will work (If you're only using it for your Mac, then use Disk Utility to Partition it as GUID/HFS+).

  • Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. Right now, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. Any suggestions?

    Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

    7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion.  Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html.  Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac

  • Using an external display with the macbook air

    hi, i wanna know if i can use an external display with the macbook air as the tunderbolt is a bit pricey? i was thinking about buyin a LCD moniter wih a VGA port. many thanks

    Yes.  You can use VGA DVI or HDMI monitors by buying a  Minidisplay port to xxx adapter and the the appropriate cable (vga, dvi or hdmi).
    The MiniDisplayport adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
    Regards,
    Captfred
    Here's a sample HDMI adapter.  All these available in the Apple online store.

    What can I change to gain access to my work vpn.  I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers.  Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

    You need to give us a lot more info.
    I presume the MBA and the TC are the combo that doesn't work, although you don't clearly state that.
    If the ipad and TC work.. are you sure the ipad is connected via the TC and not 3G network?
    If it is then the TC itself is fine and the issue might be setup on the MBA.. although if the MBA works with other routers.. that rather confuses the matter.
    You need to actually tell us how the TC is setup in the network. What kind of broadband modem you have and what kind of vpn you are using.

  • What is the best projector to use with a macbook air

    Need a trouble free projector to use with my macbook air for showing photos and business documents , excel eyc.

    If you don't mind connecting the projector directly to the Mac with an HDMI cable, any projector with an HDMI input will work. There are a very large variety to choose from. Projector People is a competent vendor that I have used and can recommend. They are knowledgeable about Macs. Describe your needs and they will make recommendations. Their prices are as good as you are likely to find anywhere else.
    You will also need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. Purchase one from Monoprice. They are less than $10.

  • Can I use a T-shaped connector with my MacBook Air 1st generation?

    My charger recently stopped working and I was able to get a quick replacement. However, it's one of the old models of chargers with the T-shaped connector. WIll it still work with my MacBook Air. I know it's slanted downwards so that might pose a problem. Any answers or advice?

    The Magsafe 1 connectors can be used both the T and the L.
    The new Magsafe 2 connectors can't because they don't fit.
