macbook air

So, I'm feeling confused. I going to need to be able to connect about 7 old style usb 2/3 devices to a new MBA M2. The type of devices will be wired keyboard/mice, printers, flash drives and bus powered HDD's. Can I just buy any random USB2/3 hub and use a USB to USB-c adapter to connect the...

Hi. I’ve been using my MBA M2 over 3 weeks and today it started make some sort of noise. I think it’s coming from the left hinge or bazel. The noise appears when I close or adjust my MacBook lid. Is it sounds normal?

Trying to update my mom's 2020 MacBook Air from Big Sur to Ventura and it keeps failing. "Installation Failed. An error occurred while installing the updates." It has plenty of disk space (188 GB). What I've tried so far: Reboot the MBA. Boot into Safe Mode. Reset PRAM/NVRAM. Downloaded...

I will be buying my first MacBook. But, I am on a tight budget. 2 MacBooks are in my range. One is MacBook Air 2017 i5 13inch vs MacBook Pro 2015 i5 13 inch. I am an undergrad computer science student. I primarily need a laptop for programming. Which one would be a wiser choice overall?

I am not sure if anyone uses a MacBook with a Smartboard. I have an issue with the SB screen when connecting the computer to it. I have a MacBook Air (M1, 2020) running Ventura (22A380). The SB is a newer MX065-v3 model. The computer is connected to the board using a hub and HDMI cable...

Hi there. I’ve noticed this white dot/spot on my MBA M2 Midnight. I thought it was dust but then I tried to clean it and nothing has changed. My laptop has been lying on my table since I bought it, so I couldn’t damage/scratch the lid. I’ve seen some publications about this problem from other...

I purchased a Macbook Air in April 2022. In August the screen cracked for no apparent reason and I had to pay £450 for a replacement. Screen cracked again in October and I have been told again it is accidental damage and therefore another £450 to repair. I have been extra-careful handling my...

I currently have a maxed out MBA M1. Now my girlfriend (who only needs a laptop for admin/browsing) wants a Macbook too. This leaves me with two options: Option A: Give her my current M1 and buy a new (specced up) M2 for myself Option B: Buy her a new M1 (albeit with lower specs than mine) The...

Recently my macbook air froze, so I turned it off then back on. This had always worked for me in the past. However, this last time when I turned my computer back on I got a flashing folder with a question mark. Using my windows computer I went to the apple support website and followed their...

Hello guys. Anyone knows what the backup size of a 512GB iPhone? Of course my phone isnt full yet, but just wanna know. I am going to buy a 512GB iPhone 14 Pro Max soon. But my current MacBook Air M1 is also 512GB. I know backup datas are smaller than the actual size but by how much, I dont...

I recently got a hand me down from someone who hasn't used this MacBook that much so they just gave it to me instead. My problem is, it gets really hot in the part between the MacBook Air logo and bar in the middle + the top half of the MacBook on the bottom of it. It's an issue for me because...

I am connecting two Samsung 24” monitors (CF24F390) to a new MacBook Air M2. One monitor is connected through an HDMI to a USBC hub and the second monitor is connected through a Wavlink HDMI to USB adapter then to the USBC hub. But finding the text is very pixelated. I have played with the...

Is the slower speed of the M2 Air 256GB SSD a noticeable difference in day to day use for non-heavy users? I'm thinking of picking up a MacBook Air, currently deciding between the M1 and the M2 air. I have a windows desktop machine for heavy use, so I don't need a whole lot of power. MBA would...

I am wondering what sort of adapters are needed to connect a MacBook Air to two monitors. I understand that there are some expensive docking stations available for $200+, but looking for a more economical solution. Right now I have a basic USB C Hub for my 2019 MacBook Pro that easily connects...

Hello, I currently have an old 2012 Mac Mini 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB & 500GB SSD running MacOS Monterey OCLP. Also have a 2008 MBP but this is ancient and can no longer tollerate Logic! However Logic often gives me spinning beachballs which are a pain. I am not 100% sure I can afford an M1 Macbook...

Whew - iOS releases have gotten to be quite a nail-biter time of year for me with my ol' macOS 10.13 High Sierra! Glad to see those of us with macOS 10.11+ still have the ability to backup our phones with the shiny new iOS version.

Just a couple months after everyone raved about how modern the new MBA looks, Apple introduces the Dynamic Island, instantly making devices with the notch look old and outdated. Kinda funny that they introduced the new MBA with a design they knew was on its way out...

I was inspired by this post on StackExchange. Adjust screen resolution to 16:10, and everything should go below the notch. I don't have a MacBook with a notch, so I went to an Apple Store to give this idea a try. The first two things that came to my mind are SwitchResX (as in that post) and...

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to monitors and the computer specs needed and I see some complaints or horror stories of people trying to get Macs working properly with different resolutions and monitors so I'm nervous about what to buy. The IT guy at work is going to get one of these for us...

Hello everyone, I received my M2 MBA, I'm really impressed by its performance (coming from Intel MBP... ). I just experienced something strange that I can't explained. I paired with it my Sony WH-1000xm4 headphones, enabled AAC via the Terminal as I've done already on my previous machine...
