2013 Macbook Air system freezes
A couple times a day, my MacBook Air 13" Haswell will freeze and I have to do a hard reset to get it back. It usually starts with the applications freezing, but i can still use the keyboard/mouse and can still switch between apps but none of them respond. Then the finder will lock up, and finally the mouse/keyboard stop working and I have to do the reset. My co-worker has exact same model and is experiencing same issue. I have read other threads about black screens, but that never happens to us.
This occurs in any configuration, whether I have any USB items in or not, whe
This is a rather old thread so I hope aapotts as found a satisfactory fix by now.
There are a lot of possible causes/solutions to the wireless/Internet freezing phenomena
There doesn't, at this time, appear to be one universal cause, nor one sure fire cure.
Some of this has been traced back to faulty hardware, but some have found the problem has nothing to do with their machine but instead to do with using old wireless routers and their settings/updates.
Bluetooth, or other wireless signals interference, corrupt network settings all have been identified as culprits and cures found
Some have had this problem on old Operating Systems... some first discovered it only when they migrated to Mavericks.
Some have brand new machines that work fine, other have a problem, returned their machine for a replacement (under the USA 100% satisfaction warranty) and report no more problems.
As you can see it's hard to pin down, and that's what makes it hard to find a "cure'.

Massive Battery Drain After Mavericks Upgrade on 11" 2013 MacBook Air?
I got my Air about month before Mavericks came out and the battery life was amazing on it. I was easily getting 14-10 hours of life using Chrome and Air Mail App, along with Power Point and MS Word. After the upgrade to Mavericks, it was slow but I started to notice that my battery life during classes was draining so much faster than before and I had not added anything 3rd party software, just the upgrade. I am now down to about 3.5 - 4.5 hours of battery life doing about the same things as before the upgrade. I did a couple of apps and I added (Sims 3 game). However, I have yet to touch it because of the diminished battery life.
I have included a copy of my Etrecheck, can somone take a look and let me know if you think I need to clean something off?
I did do the SMC reset and that seemed to to give a little juice (like putting new tire on your car but still not where it was before the Mavericks upgrade) as I am up to about 6 hours of battery life after the SMC reset.
Please let me know what other information you might need from me that would help and thank you so much!!

Not sure why but I had a hard time finding all of the related files to get rid of Origin. But I think I finally got them. I just uninstalled Flash and Chrome. I don't like Safari but all well. I suppose I can deal with it it until Apple fixes this battery issue and then maybe I can go back to Chrome. Safari isn't too happy with certain websites, under the Preferences/Security there is an error message that reads "Google Safe Browsing Service Is Not Available. Has not been updated in 8 days."
Haven't noticed a change in battery since doing all of this so let me know if it will take a couple of days to reset. Or if you see anything else that I can do to help. Thank!

If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
i have the new 2013 macbook air and like i stated above, the trackpad on the macbook completely stops working. i cant use it to navigate which forces me to use a wireless mouse to be able to navigate at all. i was wondering why this happens and if there any soulution. the projector is plugged in through usb and im not sure if that might be the problem ?
I wouldn't expect a projector to affect the trackpad like that. Possibly if you go into System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Mouse & Trackpad and uncheck Ignore trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present.

Mid 2013 macbook air: battery drain / running hot
Hi there,
For the last couple weeks my MBA starts to run hot and drain battery fast if I've been using it for a few hours.
I use it a lot on most days and connect to powercord only once it drops down low, like below 20%.
Have just seen other posts who recommend doing that at 50% battery and will now do the same.
However my question is: have i ruined my battery in the meantime?
AND/OR is there something else i can do to get battery running like it used to, and stop the loud fan switching on all the time because it's all running too hot?
I've copied in an etrecheck in case that helps diagnose more....
thanks heaps for any help!

2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
ā Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
ā In the Finder, select Go ā¹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
ā Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Mid-2013 Macbook Air Battery Life has become awful-Not Mavericks related
I have a Mid-2013 Macbook Air that I bought in July. i5, 1.3 GHz, 8GB RAM, 500 GB SSD. I honestly thought that my horrible battery life was due to the recent upgrade to Mavericks (many MBAir users are having problems with 10.9), so I downgraded to 10.8.5 this AM. With my backlit keyboard off and the screen at a mid-level of brightness, I am barely getting 2hrs of battery life. Before I go make an appointment with the Apple Genius, I was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions. I saw other threads on this issue, but none of them seem to really help. Below is the EtreCheck file (there seems to be a lot of Symantec traffic, but I am not sure that is the cause). Also, I am also running "hidden" so I wonder if the constant location services are draining the battery. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

After Mavericks install, your "time remaining" WILL BE INACCURATE until you do a SMC reset in many case
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.Ā
There is a HUGE distinction here about someone getting less batt. life in actuality .......or are they just reading the "time remaining" and using that as a true indicator which is certainly is not.
Ive seen 3 notebooks after SMC reset jump 4+ hours in "time remaining" and slowly climb after 3+ full charge cycles.
Until things settle down, nobody should trust what the 'time remaining' says. -
Improving the 2013 Macbook Air i7 battery life
Hi
I've checked couple of topics related to this issue seems many people suffer from this problem, i7 8gb ram with 512gb ssd Macbook air has some issues with its battery life it reduced very quickly. I've applied some techniques -like smc reset,deleting launch daemons and agents- and have an improvement in battery performance. Now the point is, when i do the EtreCheck there are many kernel extensions displayed in the report. Is there any way to delete them and slightly improve the battery life?
Here is the output:

Is there any other suggestions that you may offer ? Many thanksYou can use the new Activity Monitor to determine a unitless "Energy Impact" value:
You can also click the battery icon in your Mac's menu to reveal significant energy hogs (UPS is shown below):
Whereas Apple recently updated their apps to take advantage of Mavericks' energy saving algorithms, few other vendors have. I surmise the prominent "Energy Impact" hall of shame addition to the new Activity Monitor is Apple's subtle way of nudging them into compliance.
Google's plethora of invasive OS X system modifications is a popular reason for excessive battery drain. Google has yet to demonstrate the ability to develop efficient OS X apps, and one can only surmise they are not interested in doing so. If you elect to use Google Chrome or any other poorly implemented OS X programs, you must accept the detrimental effect they will have on performance and battery life.
If you no longer use a Blackberry, uninstall RIM's software. Be sure to follow its uninstallation instructions. -
Kernel Panic on 13" Mid-2013 Macbook Air Yosemite
I received a refurbished 2013 Macbook Air a week ago. Every so often, mostly commonly when browsing the web, the Air will crash, give me the "The computer encountered a problem" splash page, and need to restart. Sometimes multiple times a day. I understand it might have to do with my browser (FF 35) taking up too much memory, especially when running flash players, but I want to be sure that it's not a hardware issue. Here's my most recent panic report from this morning:

New Mid-2013 macbook air BATTERY LIFE decreasing fast?
Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Air 13" 256GB , 4GB RAM. I'm worried about my battery life. With only 2 hours of just surfing the net and on 50% brightness, my battery life dropped to 60%. So every 30 minutes, it drops by 10%. I also found that my computer usage is 95% idle so how can my battery life waste so quickly??
my battery health is 100%. Is that even normal for a Macbook Air that is only 5 days old?
Thank you!

Mid 2013 Macbook Air External Monitor Issues
I am running on 10.8.4 and am using a fully upgraded 2013 macbook air. i7, 8gb of ram, 512 ssd. Recently, I have been having issues connecting my computer to external displays. I have reset the PRAM, and the SMC multiple time with no luck. I have also deleted the windowserver plist files and that did not seem to do anything as well. The issue is as follows: when I plug in my laptop through the thunderbold port to the hdmi on my tv, the screen on my laptop goes blue, as normal, but then nothing shows up on my tv. I have used the same cable with my roomates macbook and it works just fine, on multiple tv's. Mine is not able to connect to any of those tv's. When looking at the display settings in system preferences, I do not see that it ahs detected any external displays. I am not sure what to do at this point.
I think I have fixed it somehow. I reset the PRAM while the tv was plugged in and it worked, but it seems that something may be wrong with my video card, because there was a bunch of fuzziness and weird colors on my computer's monitor for a few seconds before everything went to normal

I would appreciate any help on how to increase my battery life. Thanks in advance!Lowest power consumption for youtube viewing is Safari.
Yes, I know about all the nice Java script extensions (ala Greasemonkey) and addons that are lacking in Safari.
However Firefox has both Safari and Chrome beat by a 100 miles in the extension and addon dept. , ....additionally the "eyeball" of Google/Chrome is subjectively not preferred by myself in web use.
Give Safari a go for a few hours and you should notice a drastic change in power consumption.
Also go to Activity monitor > ENERGY tabĀ to see the use difference between the two and other running APPS. -
