I have been trying to set up Gmail in MacOS X Lion (latest version) through the Settings App, but it gives some IMAP error and refuses to set up, same story with Sparrow. Its working just fine on my iOS devices.
I would like to buy a MacBook Air, and I would only use it for documents(iWork, iLife), surfing and syncing my iPhone. I have external hard drives in which I carry my media. Would the 64GB version be enough. What is the usable storage when I buy.
I am looking to install Windows 8 on my MacBook Air, needed some help if boot camp drivers can be installed to make the trackpad, sound and keyboard work.
Hi everyone, I had recently gotten my mom a Fitbit Ultra for Mother's Day and we're having trouble setting it up on her Macbook Air. 1. Clicking "Next" on the personal information screen does nothing. 2. Even after that works, I am aware that it will ask her to plug the Fitbit on its base into her computer, which is a problem since it has no USB port. Is there a fix for problem 1 and a workaround for problem 2? Thanks.
Can't decide if we should wait until the next MacBook Air is released since it's been almost a year. Also can't decide if the cost for the 13 inch over the 11 inch is worth it, considering we're really just using it for music, photos and web browsing.
I've purchased a MacBook Air Superdrive which I would like to flash to make it a region free drive, the model number is HL-DT-ST DVDRW GX30N. Any ideas?
My 2011 MacBook Air shows that there are approximately 8 GB worth of files labelled as "Back Ups", is there anyway to safely get rid of these and recover the drive space? I continuously take Time Machine back ups so this seems like a duplication and a space hog.
Trying to work out if I can use Target Display Mode with an official Apple Thunderbolt cable between my MacBook Air 11" (2011) and my 21" iMac (2011). Both have Thunderbolt, so just wondering if this works? I had read something about how Target Display Mode was available only on 27" iMacs but I can't find any reference to how it works on the latest 2011 models? Any help much appreciated.
I'd like to stay PC if possible. I can't really afford the premiums on Mac systems. If it's a huge difference editing on a Mac then I might just pony up the extra benjamins to secure one. I'm quite familiar with both Win and OS X so user experience with one or the other isn't an issue.
I have a 2011 MacBook Air, I wanted to burn some MP3 discs using songs from my iTunes library, would it be possible to do this using remote disc on another Mac? Or is Remote Disc limited only to software installation and burning back up discs.
Just wondering how well FCPX runs on the new i5 MacBook Airs? I really need to upgrade my laptop, and I'm tempted by the Air's beautiful design and portability, but I also want a machine that can handle Final Cut better than my Core 2 Duo MacBook. So, impressions?
I didn't notice this phenomenon when I first received my 2011 MacBook Air, but over time, I have started hearing creaks in the case as I pick up, and rest my hands on, the computer.
I did a little research, and found some information that says it has to do with loose screws. I just ordered a $5 pentalobe screwdriver from Amazon, and I will update this post once I give it a try.
I just got a new MacBook Air and I don't want to restore it from a time machine back up of my previous machine. I do want my iPhone to sync back the iTunes data such as playlists and play counts back to the new library. Losing data isn't an issue coz I have e same content on my MacBook Air as the old machine. It's just the iTunes data I need from my iPhone.
I currently have a MBP 13 inch 2010 with 8GB of Ram and a 500 GB HDD. My question is the following: Should I
1) just buy an SSD to upgrade my MBP for the cost of an SSD around 128 GB
or
2) sell my MBP I will roughly get $800 for it and purchase a brand new macbook air 11-inch with 128 SSD. If I . So I'm not looking at a huge price difference between the two decisions.
I suspect the only real answer to this lies buried somewhere deep within Apple HQ, but that prototype MacBook Pro with integrated WWAN that showed up on eBay had me wondering about why they never released it. Other PC makers have been including built-in 3G in their laptops for years now, but we still haven't seen it in a MacBook. Seems like there's no reason they couldn't offer MacBooks with the same data options as iPads, right? Anyone have any idea why -- or at least some theories about why?...
