MacBook Air 11" A1465 2013 Sleeping Mode Twich

Hi, I seem to have a problem with my Mac. Everytime it wakes from the sleeping mode the screen goes normal and everything seems fine, but 4 seconds after it goes to sleep mode again and I have to move the mouse again in order to work. Is this some bug? or is just some crazy energy saving set up. I was in the genius bar and they said my computer has no problem whatsoever and that I should wait for an update from Apple. Can please somebody help me. Thanks
PS: My laptop is not connect it to the charger.

You took all the reasonable actions that can be expected. Read the following Apple Support document to be sure there isn't anything you may have overlooked:
Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on - Apple Support
It seems unlikely that a catastrophic failure would coincide with what you did, so perform the NVRAM and SMC resets again, making sure you did both of them properly. After that, schedule a Genius Bar Reservation.
The SMC reset procedure is linked in the above document. The NVRAM reset is as follows:
NVRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.

  • Why is my MacBook Air slow to enter sleep mode?

    My partner's goes to sleep instantly, mine takes about 30 seconds - most obvious difference is that I have MS Office installed (but not running).  I've tried resetting SMC but no benefit.  Help would be much appreciated.

    No, nothing whatsoever.  Have just upgraded to the latest OS (10.8.2? Don't have the MacBook to hand, but was latest a few hours ago :-D), but hasn't helped.  Presumably some process is running that takes a while to close - but wary of closing down processes without knowing for sure what they're doing!
    In the *past* I had an external DVD drive attached - used it when installing MS Office - but hasn't been connected for months, and MacBook has been switched on and off and restarted several times since.
    Grateful for any help you can give!
    cheers,

  • Macbook air wot get off sleep?

    I have a recently bought a Macbook air- at most 3 weeks old. Due to the close proximity of the power button to the delete button, I sometimes press the off button accidentally. The Air then goes into sleep mode, at which it is usually toggled off if I close the lid and open it again. However, there are some times when ono amount of closing the lid and re-opening will do the trick, or hitting the space bar (or any key for that matter.) LIghtly tappping the power button again doesn't work- what only seems to work is to restart the computer. This is very annoying- as I am writing someething and have to restart entirely and also re-login into my accounts.
    I have unchecked "put all hardware to sleep" in System Preferences.
    Any solutions?

    Common problem, for which Apple have yet to produce a solution.  It is said that they are working on a firmware update that will address it but this has been talked about for a long time and still no update.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5118135?start=0&tstart=0
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5475679?start=0&tstart=0
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495588?start=0&tstart=0
    The current "solution" (which is not a solution) given by Apple is to set sleep mode to 'never', or to wait a few secconds after sleep before waking the MBA, or install the free App 'Caffeine" which allows you to manually activate sleep and wake.
    Some persons have claimed a "bare metal restore" of the operating system resolved the problem but others have tried this without success.

  • Macbook Air 11" (Mid 2013) takes time to become active after being inactive for a while

    I've got Macbook Air 11" (Mid 2013). But it has an issue of taking up some time to be active after it has been inactive for a while (like when i dont use it for a while the macbook autosleeps and then when i want to work on it and try to get it active the screen only shows mouse pointer in a black screen and then the other components like the small window where you enter password and other takes time to appear...)

  • Powerbutton makes my Macbook Air go straight to sleep

    Since i updated to Mavericks my Macbook Air goes straight to sleep when i push the power button. That is REALLY annoying because it breaks up my internet connection everytime.
    If i want to go to sleep mode i just close my Macbook. Why would anyone need 2 options to go to sleep mode?
    How can i fix this?

    I'm pretty sure it's screen off, at least for mine when I tested it.
    Agree with you that Apple could have make it "less sensative".  Maybe use it as a boss/privacy key
    I did a continuous ping and in the middle of it, pressed the power button ... screen turns off.  Then a couple of seconds later, pressed it again and screen turns on.  There was no interuption to the ping test.

  • Can I use my Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with plugging charger even at 100 % battery full charge?

    I can't decide whether using My Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with charging power adapter connected even though it is fully charged Or using Macbook Air with unplugging charger after fully charged. Please advice me to maintain my Macbook's battery at good condition.

    It will not hurt it as long as you do not leave it on the charger for an extensive period of time (say, days).

  • Macbook pro 15-inch 2011 vs. MacBook Air 13-inch 2013

    Hello. I currently own a MacBook Pro 15-inch, early 2011 model. It has 8 GB of RAM, a quad-core, 2.3 GHz i7 processor, hi-res, anti-glare display, an AMD 6750m and Intel HD 3000. I bought it off of an Apple product store on Ebay about 3 and a half months ago. It was 1,350$. It was in perfect condition when I bought it, and it still is. I'm really into producing music, and I use Reason 6.5. I also do some other small things on my laptop, like word-processing, web-browsing and I bring it to school everyday. I was wandering if I should sell this laptop on Ebay, and buy a brand-new Macbook Air, 13-inch, 2013 model. The laptop is a little thick and heavy, and its battery-life is nothing compared to the MacBook Air. I really value battery-life I would probably upgrade the RAM to 8 gigs, and maybe upgrade the processor to 1.7 GHz, maybe upgrade the SSD to 256, but I might not. I was wandering if this would be a good idea. How much would I be able to sell this laptop for on Ebay? Is the MacBook Air weaker or stronger than the laptop I am using now? Screen real estate is something that matters a lot when using a music program, which is why I initially went for this laptop. Now, since the MacBook Air is smaller, I know that it displays just as much as this laptop does, so I don't think that the screen size would be that big of a problem. I am thinking about saving up for a 27-inch iMac, which would then be my primary machine, but if I were able to buy one, it wouldn't be for awhile. Anyways, Thanks to anybody who can help me!

    Nice to see you again.
    The macbook Air is 'stronger' than the Pro only in terms of containing MUCH fewer parts, far less to fault, easier to repair
    both have unibody aluminum alloy frames.

    Is the MacBook Air weaker or stronger than the laptop I am using now
    Its stronger in alloy form factor, slim design with only ONE moving part, no HD to crash from mechanical failure of impact etc.
    Ive got an Imac and current Air, and owned several Air, the air is the hands down choice for myself and I wouldnt part with it for any amount of money.  Also own a couple macbook Pro, new and older one i rebuilt.

    Macbook Air:
    Only one moving part, ultrafast boot time SSD, the full power of laptop with the weight of an Ipad (close).
    Air is the only Mac that has Haswell, 802ac wifi, and incredible 12hr. batt life in 13" I5. HOWEVER NOW the new Pro have 802ac wifi
    Recommend buying the Air with 8gig Ram.
    Pack around a regular laptop around about 20 days, then an Air, .....after that the standard laptops stays at home.    
    Only one moving part, the fan. No moving HD heads to crash or moving platters.  Runs a LOT cooler than anything else out there (which = durability).  Heater is a killer on a scale of 10X over that of accidents.
    Also the AIR has far fewer parts to fail inside than a standard laptop.  Really only a few replacement parts
    The speakers on the Air, contrary to what most people would assume, are much louder than on the macbook Pro.
    The Air in general is faster due to the SSD, also if you have a 802ac Router (i.e. Airport Extreme) then the Air over wifi is a LOT faster.
    If youre going to be dragging a notebook around campus all the time, the Air makes things a lot more lovely.
    The FINAL consideration of course is your application USE, and needs regarding same (see specs and video above)
    The new Air, NOW with Mavericks is just 'king of the hill'. Nothing touches it

  • I find the iphone 5s photographs and videos very difficult to copy into my PC after upgrade to ios 7.1.2. Previously I was able to open it in my computer (Windows 8.1 loaded on macbook air 13" July 2013) model, within iphone ikon - DCIM.  Why not now

    After upgrade of my iphone 5s to ios 7.1.2, I am not able to open iphone ikon- Internal Storage-DCIM - in My computer
    The folder is shown as empty
    I use Window 8.1 loaded on my Macbook air 13" July 2013 model
    Should I stop using iphone for photography and use my Canon DSLR
    Taking photo is easy with iphone 5s.  But retreiving the photo/video
    is time consuming and I feel is a waste of time
    Any way out?

    Is your phone unlocked when your importing the pictures.
    This sound more like a window 8 issue.

    Remove "Boom" and test.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Prevent my MacBook Pro to turn into sleeping mode

    How can I prevent my MacBook Pro to turn into sleeping mode when playing music on it with Itunes?

    System Preferences -> Energy
    Put slider to "Never". But this will prevent your Mac to never turn into sleeping mode, not just when playing music.

  • New MacBook Air 11 inch, 2013, Kernal_task running 300% constantly

    I have just purchased a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch, 2013.
    I noticed that the fan was running constantly when I booted up and have tracked it through the activity monitor to the Kernal_task which is eating up 300% on the CPU. I have no thrid party software or apps installed. It's brand new out of the box and the only thing that has been done is install the Mavericks updates as instructed by the apple update software.
    And yet the Kernal_task still runs at 300% and the fan grinds on constantly regardless?!?
    Is there anyway to fix this? Or have I got a dud model. It seems to be very strange for a brand new Mac to be like this. The fan and the Kernal_task as chewing through the battery and making the whole point of purching this Macbook Air a bit pointless.
    Is there anyway to kill the Kernal_task without bricking my Mac?

  • Macbook air freezes in screen save mode (Mid 2011 model using Mountain Lion

    My MacBook Air freezes during screen save mode & is completely unresponsive.  The only option is to press & hold the power button to force a power down then restart the laptop.  This issue is not intermittent but happens every time the laptop is in screen save mode for any length of time (+20 mins).
    The laptop is a Mid 2011 model. 1.8 GHz i7, 250 GB solid state HD, 13" display with 4 GB RAM.  I updated to Mountain Lion latest version about 1 month ago.

    Hi there. I'm not using any 3rd party screen saver software, only the standard Mountain Lion supplied stuff.
    I did have to get the Genuis Guys to reset my SMC as my battery, fan & power lead were showing problems.  Those issues are now solved but this has persisted.
    I am considering a reinstal of the OS system but that is a 1 hour download following by ?? hours of waiting for the program to restart.
    I'll try using one of the other screen saver options to test that.
    Thanks for that idea.
