  • Help needed please.

    My partner home office setup needs some care.
    I’ve tried to connect two screens using a mini display adapter for VGA for one screen and an adapter usb cable for the usb remaining port. It’s a MacBook Air.
    We would like to have extended but it works only as duplicating the screen. I tried to change setting but no way.
    I believe I bought the wrong adapter… is anyone able to help to point what I should buy please?

    Thank you in advance

  • Which iteration of MacBook Air? I have been looking recently and I think it’s only the most recent M3 chip that can do dual screens, the M1 and M2 seem to only support one external display. Have you tried just using one monitor and seeing if that works?

  • You need a DP alt mode adapter for DVI an ordinary one will not work.
    When you say USB do you mean thunderbolt? Then you need a proper cable not a USB one or a thunderbolt data/power cable. You will have to google for the right one as there’s lots of cable standards.
    Also check if the air can even do more than one extra screen.

  • That’s an (ancient) Intel MacBook Air.

    What’s the USB adapter exactly?
