Problems with OS X 10.8.5 on MacBook Air

I've seen many people having problems when updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.5, including using FaceTime camera in applications as Skype. I saw that Apple is aware of this problem, but when are they going to fix it?
I've also had some problems with Facebook in Safari. Before updating, I could just click on Safari/Facebook and it would log in automatically. Now, I have to log in every five minutes, even if I'm using it... anyone else had this problem?

Does this occur with the power adapter connected, disconnected, or both?
If you can't correlate it with the power adapter have your MacBook Pro evaluated by Apple or an authorized Apple Service Provider. Failing batteries have been known to swell and create pressure underneath the trackpad, causing erratic mouse behavior.
The symptoms you describe have not been described as resulting from any particular software update. If a swollen battery is the reason for the problem it is likely to have been coincidental.

  • Problems with mirror play to Apple TV from macbook air

    Hi,
    I'm having difficulty's streaming from my macbook air to the tv screen via the apple tv.
    The Apple TV is conected to the Internet via wifi and it plays rented movies or streaming youtube fine but if i try to watch a movie from my laptop (stream of the net ) and watch it on the tv then it wont work properly , it has excessive lag and cuts out or wont connect to my laptop at all . it wont show the desk top intermittent either and massive delays when it does.
    i think it may have something to do with an update or something ? I have mavericks on the air and everything is updated , i have 2 apple tvs and 1 is connected through Ethernet and it seems ok I've also tried to do the same through my imac with parrot but its the same problems even tho its connected directly to the router.
    Thanks in advance
    stu

    The Imac has the same problem with playing to the lounge room atv but no where near as bad, ( can actually watch a movie) it just cuts in and out a little but when you watch it on the imac screen its playing fine.
    my modem is a netgear dual band and i have tryed both bands and still has the problem i also have a range extender and its bad through that but when I originally purchased the atv it worked fine with it.
    I don't watch a lot of movies mainly stream music through the iphone on it and this is why im thinking that an update may have affected it cause it used to work fine but i also did purchase the netgear router and im thinking it may also could be a problem but what i cant understand is the problem is only with airplay or parrot depending on laptop or desk top and no real problems with the iphone streaming movies or the stream ok through itunes apart from some movies don't have sound in itunes .
    When you say I can adjust the router could you tell me what to adjust or how ?
    Thanks for your help

  • VGA beamer problems with Windows 7 64-bit enterprise on MacBook Air 2012

    For us the following problem is solved now! It might help other people with the same problems.
    At our institute we have two new MacBook Airs 5.2 (2012) running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise under Boot Camp.
    They both cannot used for Windows-presentations with VGA beamers by using the mini-DP-to-VGA adapter (with Mac OS X 10.7 it just works fine).  First of all, the suggestions from Apple phone support were not of any help at all (try PRAM reset, try SMC reset, ...). We tried an external USB-3.0-graphics adapter made by SUNIX (it failed, probably since Apple blocks other graphic cards in the EFI).
    Then we saw the following article, which describes the same problems with a Dell XPS, but also using the Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter:
    http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=reviews/dell-xp-mini-displayport-projector-fi x
    We finally bought a "Mini-DisplayPort to VGA Active Video Adapter" from StarTech.com (product ID: MDP2VGAW) ...
    AND IT WORKS!
    Quintessence: Apple mini-DP-to-VGA adapter is too crappy for the (probably always behind) Windows.

    Hello again,
    After speaking to an Apple Genius, it seems the solution was to update the firmware for the Cinema Display. Since I have done this, the monitor appears to behave better.

  • Problem with Adobe Reader vs Acrobat on my Macbook Air

    A question that is addressed in the forum but the answers (so far) have not worked for me: I just switched to a Macbook Air (from a standard Macbook Pro) and suddenly cannot open PDF files from the internet in Adobe Reader. Instead, I am instructed to sign the user agreement for Adobe Acrobat, which I have never actually purchased and do not have installed on my computer. Per suggestions from earlier threads and from the Adobe help site, I have attempted these steps:
    In the Finder, select a PDF, and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the arrow next to Open With to expose the product menu.
    Choose either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader from the application menu.
    It seems simple enough, but when I open a PDF and click on File, there is no "Get info" option. Nor when I double click on the document itself, is there a "get info" option. The closest thing I see is "properties" which does not take me to the desired dialogue box. So my question is, how to I find "get info," which will presumably take me to the solution?

    Hello,
    Please try to download the new installer from this location and see if that works -Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

  • Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

    i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
    Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
    One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
    please help!!!!

    Having the same problem, & am running Parallels (which I haven't used for some time) not boot camp. I tick the box labeled "Set time automatically" & lock the "click the lock to make changes". When I reboot, the Lock is unlocked and the "set time...." is unticked. Any ideas. Cheers.

  • Problem with transferring garageband track from iPad2 to macbook

    Hello,
    I have a problem with transferring track from Garage band 2.0 on iPad2 to a new macbook pro (oct2013).
    I saved a track on macbook via iTunes but when i`m trying to open it on Garageband it shows an error.
    I have updated all soft recently. So it couldn't be true.
    Could you please help me to solve the problem?
    Thank you very much!

    What software are you running on your MBPr? Are you using MacOS X 10.8.5 or MacOS X 10.9?  Probably you need to update your MBPr to Mavericks and GarageBand 10.0.0.

  • Problems with Distortion in 30" Screen and new MacBook Pro 2.6 MHz

    I've got problems with distortion and shadows with this MacBook Pro model (the new 2.6 MHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory) on my Apple 30". The older MacBook Pro(s) work and look fine on this monitor (Apple 30"). Just bought the new machine last week and the monitor is about 1-1/2 years old. This one has the 200 GB Hitachi drive.
    Any ideas where the distortion is coming from? This machine has the 8600M GT w/ 512 MB Ram. Looks great until you plug into the Apple 30". Lower resolution does not help.

    What does the distortion look like? Pictures would be helpful.
    Is it similar to this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1440820&tstart=15

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Mail stopped recognizing my gmail and other, non-iCloud, accounts.  Anyone else have this problem?  No issue with the same software installed on my MacBook Air.

    Mid morning, before Christmas, my iMac stopped downloading all mail from gmail and my personal domain. Only the me.com account is still functioning.  Thankfully I am able to access my mail on my MacBook Air but would like to get the problem resolved on my main computer.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hi Susan,
    Can you loginto gMail's Webmail in a browser using the same login credentials?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
    Gmail send but not receive...
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
    2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
    https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

    I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17".  Thanks for the help on that.  I thought that I was doing it right.  Used a backup hard drive and time machine.  Problem:  Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air.  Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones.  How do I fix the mess I have made?  Like I said before,  I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn.  Thanks for any help.

    iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
    After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.
