My MacBook Air 13" - 2011 has bluetooth issues ?

BLUETOOTH ISSUES:
1. BLUETOOTH ALWAYS GET BACK TO "ON" AFTER I RESTARTED. EVENTHOUGH I HAVE TURNED IT OFF BEFORE I RESTARTED MY MACBOOK AIR.
2. THE OPTION IN THE BLUETOOTH FOR "DISCOVERABLE" IS GREYED. THEREFORE I CANT TICK IT.
WHY ?

Maybe with this bump an expert will take a look at the crash dump.
In the mean time, a generic solution for such problems is to verify (and if needed repair) the system disk and then reïnstall OS X. If you need help with these procedures, post back.

Macbook pro mid-2011, has graphic issue?

Hi, I am using macbook pro 2.7ghz,i7,4gb,hd graphic 3000 which i just purchased in the mid-2011 to replace my old macbook.
Everything seems fine until I reinstall the sims 3 to my new macbook pro. The video's works fine, but when i entered the create household,
it shows the person's eyes and thumbails were not clear. The details setting of the game, has been set all to low which is the default setting. I have tried to increase some setting to medium or high, but it have not make any changes. Any solution?

it was working fine with my old macbook, and my sister who is using macbook pro 15" also works fine. I also installed the sims medieval, but the same issue occurs. i have the latest update for macbook pro sofware and also the sims.

MacBook Air 13" 2011 Bluetooth Issues

I recently upgraded from a MacBook late 2007 to a MacBook Air 13" 2011. Both systems were running Lion GM, and I transferred all my data from the old machine to new using the Migration Assistant that started on first boot on the new machine.
I'm having some weird issues with Bluetooth. I have a Magic Mouse, and when I open the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, it shows a list of Devices and Types, but all the devices show the Hardware ID (MAC address) only, not the device name (even for others like Printers/Smartphones). If I add the mouse from here, it works fine, but in the Bluetooth menu under devices it shows the MAC address of the device only instead of Apple Wireless Mouse, and it does not give me any battery information, just an option to disconnect.
The Bluetooth seems to have problems getting the names of any Bluetooth devices, and just shows everything by MAC address.
If I open the Bluetooth preferences, and I choose the mouse and go to Update Services it then shows it as an Apple Wireless Mouse but I still can't get any battery info. Also, after the computer reboots or if I disconnect/reconnect the mouse it again shows using the Bluetooth MAC address only. The Update Name option seems to have no effect.
Also, before doing the Update Services thing the computer doesn't even seem to know what type of device it is.

Wow, same problem - brand new, 2011 13" MacBook Air and also used migration assistant.
Here's what I see:
(1) Bluetooth Preferences - check box on (and I'm able to uncheck it), Discoverable box is dimmed and not checkable.
(2) Discoverable box can be "auto-checked" if bluetooth sharing is turned on, but the Discoverable checkbox still remains dimmed.
(3) All Bluetooth paired items (when I can get them to be paired) show up as hex addresses only - no names.
Called and talked with Apple Support - they suggested this:
(1) reset PRAM and SMC - did that, no change
(2) Then they suggested to create a new user and see if the bluetooth issues follow to the new user - they did.
(3) So based on that, they suggested to boot (command-r) and re-install using the Recovery Option - I have not done that yet and I'm hesitant to do this because I believe that this will not fix the problem.
Some things I did that they did not suggest:
(1) Ran Repair Disk Permissions - no change.
(2) moved /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist to something else and then restarted "blued" - no change.
For #2 - you'll need to do it this way - if you think this will make a difference:
sudo mv -f /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued_bak.plist
sudo killall blued
this will create a new blued.plist file - do this to see that:
sudo ls -l /var/root/Library/Preferences
You should see your old backed up copy and the newly created one.

Usb pin bend in macbook air(mid 2011,bought in april 2012) demands a complete replacement of the logic board which costs around $500.Is it justified?

I had recently purchased a macbook air mid 2011 in india (surat) and to my surprise two out of four pins of the usb slot on the right side got bent while trying to insert a usb pendrive.I was shocked when the store said that it was a physical damage and it will not be considered in the warranty(apple care protection plan) and i would have to pay around $500 to replace the logic board with the new one since the usb port was directly mounted on it.
I have been using the usb port since the time it had came to market and i know how to plug in a usb drive.There is no case of inserting the usb pendrive inverted as the structure of the usb port itself explains it.
I have already read the discussions on such an issue and many people have got the logic board repaired by the company.
But i will be thankful to the person who has gone through the same situation and put forward his experience about how to get a "fast response repair from apple" in response to this discussion.

Applecare was no help at all. I called and did the complaint. They confirmed that it is registered to me and everything but essetially told me that they cant give me answers as to what is taking so long. They knew a repair was in progress but wanted to set me up with an appointment at an apple store? (the nearest Apple retail store is Billings which is 240 miles away, or about 4 hours). i tell them its at the repair place and they go on to tell me they can send me a box to mail it in and have it reapir by them.. They are trying to shift the blame to the AASP and his rep. But he said he has been trying with very few answers from Apple as well

A friend bought second hand macbook air mid 2011 with crossed circle on the display and give to me to try to recover the system, I tried recovery from partition and same thing occured, after internet recovery it stays the same-crossed circle after reboot, then we tried to boot from USB with mac os 10.8 on it, it installs something,like it has being finishing installation, rebootes, and now it asks for password for boot option.We have no idea what that password could be.What happened!!!

Macbook air mid 2011 cpu overheating with yosemite

Hi,
after upgrading to OS X Yosemite, my MacBook air mid 2011 is constantly overheating, the CPU in particular, rapidly reaching 96-97 °C.
The CPU fan is (fortunately!) working regularly.
Did not experience such problem until yesterday morning, before upgrading to the new OS.
Activity monitor shows CPU use by "launchd" in particular.
Thanks for any hint,
Daniele

Hi,
thanks all for the replies.
I tried SMC reset following dominic23's suggestion, but that did not solve the issue.
After other attempts, I decided to go back to Mavericks, thanks to the time machine backup.
I have finished the process now and I'm writing you with the old 10.9.5 version. Everything is fine.
In my case, more than the CPU temperature and the noise, the worst part was the battery life, that dropped down to less than half an hour (I am used to almost 3 hours).
Thus, for all the MacBook Air (mid 2011) users, I strongly suggest to check on forums etc. before upgrading to Yosemite.

Is there any way for downloading LION without recovery tool? macbook air (mid 2011) ?

I recently bought a macbook air(mid 2011) and I am using ADSL internet services which needs couple of hours to complete downloading of LION. but when I come back to see what happened few hours after download started, I found myself in Lion Recovery startiting page !
seems that I am in a endless loop !!
In addition, Its not possible to download it from app store, since it shows that the application has beed installed already. is there any suggestion ?
I guess I should first download it using speed download and then install it !

Have you tried holding the Option key down and then clicking on "Purchases" in the App Store interface? If this works, then you'll see "Install" instead of "Installed" against Lion. Download Lion then -- it will go to your Applications folder -- and do not give your password for installation to execute. You should then have the full Lion installation package in your Applications folder. With "Show Package Contents", in "Shared Support" find InstallESD.dmg. If you burn that to a blank DVD you'll have a Lion Install disc. But since you have a MacBook Air, you could use a (not less than 8 GB capacity) pen drive to store the installation without having to do the full download every time.

MacBook Air (Mid 2011) doesn't charge

I have a MacBook Air (Mid 2011) and it won't charge the battery when I plug it to the wall adapter.
No matter what i do the light on the L shaped connector magsafe doesnt light up.
After a few tries, a few minutes, or even a few hours it just works..and I don't know why, or what to do to make it work all the time.
I tried resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964), followed every step, but it doesn't help.
I dont know if the problem is in the MagSafe Power Adapter, or if it is in the MacBook Air MagSafe Connector.
Here is a video of me trying to connect it to the Power Adapter without success:
http://youtu.be/3rRko1VncoE
Then 30 minutes later it is working again:
http://youtu.be/j4x3YxWZzAA
This time was 30 minutes, but there sometiimes is much, much longer before I get it to work..
What sloud i do?
My mac is still in the warranty period. If i take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP), will they change the faulty component for free?
(Where I live, in portugal, there are no official Apple Stores..so i can't go to one).

I also have a mid '11 Macbook Air and this exact same thing is happening to me with the charger. Tonight scared me because it would not start charging for a long time. Fortunately I still had battery power left.
Guess I need to go to the Apple Store
I did not have the same problem again..don't know why, but here is what I think:
The mac doesn't charge because it doesn't recognise the charger or the other way around..
Last time this happened I just let the computer connected to the charger, and the charger plugged in the wall, and left it there overnight. The next morning it was fully charged, with the green light on the connector.
After this, there was only 2/3 times that when I plugged the charger it wouldn't do anything, so I just started working normaly on the mac and after a few minutes it started to charge. That first time it took 30 minutes to start. On another ocasion it only took 2 minutes. And after that was just a few seconds. Now it is behaving normaly. When I plug it, the connector turns green after 1/2 seconds.
So, if you have this problem, try just leaving it there..while you work on it, or while you sleep. It seems eventually it will start working. In my case it "solved" the problem, as it isn't happening anymore.. (I hope forever..)
It's not really a solution..but if it works for you too, great! Good luck!

How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011) from a Windows 7 PC?

How do I download Windows 7 64 bit drivers for my new MacBook Air (Mid 2011)? I have already formated the HD and preformed a clean install of Windows 7. Perhaps I did this too early. I have read I need to install the drivers from my OS X DVD, however, OS X Lion does not come on a DVD! I've also read that I can download OS X Lion from the App Store and burn it to a DVD, however, all I have are Windows PCs which don't support the Mac App Store.
Is there no way for me to download these drivers from a Windows PC? I know they exist. However, you are supposed to download them through Boot Camp in OS X when you are creating a new Windows 7 installation. I'm I stuck?

I am pretty disappointed in the lack of documentation.
This is the Apple Support page for Boot Camp:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
No mention anywhere of Lion, of 4.0/4.01
In the past, 10.6.6+ was suppose to - and sometimes did - provide for a download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant program, in order to save them to flash or such (that should be about 1GB, too large for CD). Some macs req'd a USB-DVD or other driver that was needed pre-install of Winidows
You don't install Apple drivers until after Windows is installed otherwise,
It is possible for me, with a tower, to run w/o needing any drivers from Apple. But with laptops, mini, you do need some drivers from Apple for graphics, internet, wireless, SMC support.
And right now, loading any Apple support Tech Note articles is very very slow.
People keep asking why Apple can't post 3.0 or 4.0 like they do the updates. Only logic is to force t he download from inside OS X or from an OS X DVD. Otherwise would be here, and avoid all the trouble. they aren't of use on a PC, and any PC motherboard vendor does post their support software for download.

I am trying to open my macbook air but it has blocked and it makes a beep sound.

I am trying to open my macbook air but it has blocked and it makes a beep sound. It wont turn on. Is there something i can do?

Assuming this is not the normal startup chime, one beep means no RAM...so something in the path to the RAM has failed.
Best option is the Apple store genius bar to have the techs test the system and see what is going wrong.

Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

Upon receiving my 2012 MBA, I removed the inCase hard shell from my 2011 model and fitted it to my 2012 unit. The fit is identical. Dimensionally they are the same.
So, if you are asking do all of mine fit? Yes they do.
