yes it does, provided you are running a later mac os and an updated thunderbolt driver.

Thank you.

I have a MBA 2011, on MacSierra
I think I should have the updated Thunderbolt driver, just updated.

But somehow or rather the Thunderbird-Gigabit adapter does not get detected when I plug in the LAN cable.

No problem with using it on my MBA 2016.

The MBA 2011 thunderbolt should be working? As I tried plugging in a Thunderbolt to HDMI to my TV and I can projected my MBA 2011 Screen to the TV

pardon the ignorance but would a macbook pro/air be able to sustain playing fm 2017?

I mean since you cant take out the battery, worry that continuous 2-3 hours playing would result in overheating...

best is to state the year also, cos different iMac in different years got a lot of different restriction.

iMac getting slow doesn't mean the hdd is slow, can be your ram, your junk files etc.

i'm using macbook pro for 2 years plus, on sierra and it hasn't lagged at all since purchase. the hint here is to regularly do maintenance..

Not that hard actually

Hi there

I am trying to upgrade my MacBook Air from os Yosimeti to os EI captain from a bootable usb.

I deleted the os Yosemite using disk utility but cannot install os EI captain now as the bootable usb is somehow corrupt.

Now I can't boot up my Mac as there is no os.

Can anyone tell me what should I do?

find another bootable disk lor.. you are not supposed to delete yosemite first because right now you already ruined the internet recovery utility...

next my mail weird , now i scroll the email , the titles of the mails seem flicker as I scroll can feel lag.

I have to close my mail and open again than ok liao.

perhaps due to my 4 g ram ba I also don't know. I just cross my fingers still can use and do my work.

lo in fact I hate upgrade computer .

if I go buy a new i mac also need another space to put than my old iMac how?
perhaps use till it dead than change ba.
