Yes, you could do that. You could also replace the internal boot drive. Depending on which of the 5 different MBAir models you have, that could be a faster replacement drive, using an NVMe drive in the PCIe slot. Pretty simple upgrade, but you would need to know for sure that the system that was...

Now that you can boot up to a recovery system, you can open Disk Utility, select your drive. that will show you how large the drive is, and how much space is free. It's probably a 128 GB drive (very common on MBAir). If you don't see your drive, but there is something with a name like macOS Base...

Simple DVI to VGA adapters will only work one way. DVI from computer to VGA on display. The only way for the opposite is with an active convertor of some kind - requires active circuitry to change the analog signal to digital. The simple convertors are just two plugs, wired to get video signal...

The seller apparently knows that the card he is selling is not a Mac Edition. It's a PC card, and would need to have the ROM burned with a Mac-code ROM. The PC version cannot work on any Mac until that is done. The driver software that you linked is NOT a ROM update, just software drivers (which...

hmm... The Radeon 7500 has both VGA and DVI-D ports. Do you mean that the DVI port on that card is dead? (not really in my territory. I've not been a video enthusiast on Macs, except to warn not to get a PC version of vid card, unless you are ready to do what it takes to get one to work in a...

The CD/DVD drive and the Zip connection are on the same bus. If you want a hard drive in the Zip connector, then the CD would need to be set for Master, and the hard drive (in the Zip position) would be set as Slave. Cable select should work for the other 2 hard drives, or set one as Master, and...

First question: Do you already have a bootable installer? Could be on a flash drive, or a partition on a USB external drive. Lots of choices there. If you don't have a bootable installer, then you would need to get one, or make one yourself. Apple has a support page with some info for creating...

Internet recovery looks very much the same as the recovery system. You boot to a menu screen, with menus, such as Utilities. The menu window allows you to "Reinstall macOS" or run Disk Utility, and 3 other options. Do you get to that menu screen? You boot into Safe boot mode by holding down...

OP claims that there's no internet connection. No MBAir has native ethernet, except with an adapter of some kind. Likely has an ethernet adapter that needs the boot software to work.

OP did not say that recovery partition is not available, but cannot get past internet recovery. Also said that he apparently cannot connect to internet. No Internet Recovery is possible without any internet connection. And, Internet Recovery does not offer the same version as the installed, or...

Your list of information could be any 11-inch MBAirs sold from 2011 to 2015 (5 different models) the Cmd+Opt+R is, in fact, Internet Recovery, which will offer a version of OS X that is probably older than what you have installed now, and can be the original system that came installed when it...

If your MBPro shut itself off, that can be a failed hard drive, or maybe you simply lost power, and now the directory on the hard drive may be corrupted. I would try booting to an external drive, or an OS X installer, then open Disk Utility (easy to find in the Utilities menu when you are...

Did you follow the steps? - https://kb.paragon-software.com/article/4500 If not, you might need to reinstall the app, then do an uninstall correctly. There's also this - https://gist.github.com/guycalledseven/7b3fbeb521f74c682799932d64856f03

Hmm... I'm looking at an M1 MBPro, running 12.5.1, so current Monterey. (Just to clarify what Satcomer posted :cool: ) System Preferences/Keyboard, then Input Sources tab. Click the box "Show Input menu in menu bar" You should now have a new icon in the the top menubar. Click, and you should see...

Sure... Would that make a difference to you? Try it out, see that it works for what you need. You would be able to easily upgrade the system, if you need to do that.

If you will be using ethernet for your internet connection on both Macs, then you already have a hub. Both would be connected to the same network - so file sharing should be OK.

I am guessing that you did not try that so-called tip... The option to Repair Permissions has not existed in the Disk Utility since the Disk Utility in Yosemite. THAT system won't even see an APFS-formatted drive, so can't attempt a repair of anything on an AS-generation Mac. (Or, did you mean...

Yes, you have a cellular model (Wi-Fi + Cellular). The Wifi-only iPad does not have a sim slot. Wifi model is not tied to a wireless (cellular) provider, just to wifi. You continue to pay monthly for your Verizon iPad, because you are paying for that additional cellular connection in your...
