2010 MacBook air randomly logged out twice today. Installed new  version of Flash earlier today. I wonder if there is a connection.

My MacBook Air (13" 2010) randomly logged out twice today.
The only new software is a Flash update.
Anyone experiencing anything similar?
Any suggestions?

Ddevore,
Console is located in the Utilities folder, which is inside the Applications folder. I've attached a screen shot of what I'm referring to for visual reference. The import thing is that you get the information that Console logged just prior to the logout occurring.

  • TS2662 Wireless keyboard and mouse were working fine until today; installed new batteries in both when they wouldn't work-says they are connected intermittently, but can't use either one-have tried to re-pair and nothing happens-codes not recognized-

    i have been using my wireless keyboard and mouse with no probs until today-installed updates this morning-since I restarted have been unable to use either device-have tried everything Apple suggests to do- re-pairing unsuccessfully; turned everything off and back on-sometimes the Bluetooth says it is connected, othertimes not-but even when it says it is connected the keyboard/mouse don't work; put in new batteries-no go also; bluetooth icon is on.  Anyone have any ideas????

  • New OSX not does not work with RED Rocket Card and old OSX Randomly Logs Out - UNSTABLE

    It looks like my MBPR 16GB (MacBook Pro) randomly logs out and causes my programs to quit unsaved.  I can not update to the new OSX mountain Lion because the new Apple release is no longer compatible with the RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage.  Mountain Lion causes the RED Rocket to not run correctly with Adobe Premiere. 
    At the same time, I am on Lion and my computer randomly logs me out and I lose all my work.  It seems as though the Retina is unstable. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Can someone tell me how I can return this.  It seems as though I may have to switch the entire company over to PC if this is not figured out soon. 

    You probably have not received responses for two reasons.
    1. There are not many here that know what this is "RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage"
    2. Your post appears to contain some sort of threat to Apple about moving to PCs. You are not addressing Apple here. We are users just like you. We don't care if you change over to PCs.
    MBPs and Lion are very stable. Maybe your unsupported third party Red card is causing issues. Their answer seems to be that Mountain Lion is not supported. I wonder why?
    My suggestion if this is a business environment is to not mess with this. If you know for a fact that your Red card works with PCs, change over to PCs. I know that if some tool was not working for my business I would not hesitate to get something that worked.

  • Late 2010 MacBook Air 13" Dead Pixels Common?

    I received a new Late 2010 MacBook Air 13" notebook less than a month ago. The unit had a dead pixel towards the center of the display. I called Apple within the 14-day return period for advise on how to handle the issue. They asked me to send the unit in for repair as the closest Apple store was quite far away. I sent the unit out for repair and received it back a few days later.
    To make things short, I had to send the notebook out for repair twice for the same issue, and both times the notebook was sent back with replacement displays, each of them also having dead pixels (apparently Apple's repair guys just pop in a new panel and don't actually check to make sure that the issue's been resolved).
    Luckily, after over an hour arguing with a customer support supervisor over the phone, they decided to have me send the unit back to them for a new replacement. The replacement should be arriving within a week or so. However, I find myself somewhat hesitant to even bother opening the new replacement when it arrives. I've pretty much lost all confidence in Apple to supply an acceptable display in such a high-priced premium notebook, and am not sure what recourse I will have if the new unit once again comes scared with dead pixels. I thinking about selling it unopened on Amazon or something, and purchasing from another brand like Sony or something.
    Question is, has anyone else experienced this issue with their new MacBook Airs? Are dead pixels on these new notebooks becoming more and more common, or do you think I've just had a serious run of bad luck? I can honestly say that I've never had to deal with something like this before with any of my other laptop / desktop displays. Should I even bother with the new unit or just take my business elsewhere.. I really don't think Apple with replace / repair the new unit if it displays the same pixel issues, and frankly, I've grown tired of arguing with them.

    Hi PlotinusVeritas,
    Thanks for the quick reply
    I did wonder if it was the battery but the usb mouse's left click stops working once the trackpad is touched seems kinda weird... Kind of gave up troubleshooting, guess I'll have to contact an Apple store for repair
    Cheers

  • Can I connect my October 2010 Macbook Air to a Thunderbolt display?

    Does it only work with the MacBook Airs that came out today?

    Sorry but it only works with a Mac that has Thunderbolt. An october 2010 MacBook Air will therefore not work with it. But you can still purchase the older Apple LED Cinema Display for the next year or two.

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro Randomly goes back to login screen?

    My mid-2010 MBP will randomly log me out.  I'll be on the internet or working on a paper and it will go to the blue screen that occurs when you're booting up the computer and then to my login screen, where I have to type in my username and password again.  Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Why can't a choose to create a Windows 7 install disk on my 2010 macbook air?

    It is a 2010 macbook air, with lion 10.7.2 and bootcamp 4.0.1. the option to create a windows 7 install disk is greyed out, i have a trial version from microsoft website, but i also have a downloaded windows 7 both of them are .iso, i also have a 4gb usb in. could someone explain to me how to fix this?

    You might follow this procedure...
    http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20020513-285/install-win-7-on-macbook-air-fr om-a-usb-drive/
    Note that to start the procedure, you will need a Windows computer to create the USB install stick.
    I have an iMac with Windows 7 running via BootCamp, but I really don't like the BootCamp setup mainly because it's necessary to reboot the computer every time you switch from one OS to the other.
    A few days ago I got a new MBA 128GB model which I decided to put Windows on via Parallels.  I have an old stand-alone DVD drive I plugged into the MacAir which immediately recognized the DVD drive.  I then installed Parallels on the MacAir.  When that was finished, it prompted me for a Windows installation disk, which I then put in the DVD drive. 
    Away it went with very little requests for inputs from me.  In a short time, I had Windows 7 up and running.  So far it looks like a great setup.  With a few other programs, the MacAir reports that it still has 88GB free out of the 128 GB SSD.

  • ITunes won't launch since maverick update on late 2010 macbook air

    have tried downloading and reinstalling itunes on my late 2010 macbook air, but since maverick update itunes will not lauch and has to be force quit in order to close, this happens instantly on launch??

    My machine was running quite slow too, especially boot time. Repairing permissions and zapping PRAM seemed to help out a lot. Further, if you want, you can disable hibernation and delete sleep image. I realize that most that run a Mac don't expect to do any tweaking, and hopefully Apple will come out with a SP soon that 'fixes' some of the issues that many are having. I don't think having 2GB of memory is the main issue, as many with 8GB of RAM are having the same issue. I did a lot of tweaking and Lion is working as well as Snow Leopard was on my MBA 11" with 2GB of RAM. You can also successfully run monoligual on your MBA, get rid of language packs you don't need and save 1.5GB.

  • Macbook keeps randomly logging off on OS X 10.6.7?

    I just got the new 10.6.7 update and downloaded as usual. Nothing special has happened until yesterday. Now my Macbook random logs out while I am using it, or safari will quit and an error message pops up. I've already cleared my cache and history on Safari, but no luck. I have no software updates to download so I don't know what is wrong with it! If it makes a difference, my laptop is a little over a year old.
    That is the error report that pops up when Safari quits. Does it mean anything?

    Please post the full text of that Safari crash log, which you can find by launching the Console application, and there should also be a crash log for WindowServer.

  • My MacBook Air is running out of storage. Will an external hard drive work for me?

    Good afternoon, Apple support forums! I recently made a BootCamp partition, and now my MacBook Air is running out of storage (about 13 GB left), and I realize that I cannot expand the storage on my Macbook Air without some DIY technical work. I looked into alternatives and came onto external hard drives (I'm looking at the LaCie Porsche Design P'9223 USB 3.0 Mobile Hard Drive - 2 TB, but this question is for external hard drives in general). I was wondering, just in case, if I could use it not for backup (as I already have an Apple AirPort Time Capsule) but as added on storage for my Mac. Also, would I have to keep the external hard drive plugged into my Mac 24/7 to have access to the files stored on it? Thanks in advance for any help!!

    1. Yes, you can.
    2. You only need to have it plugged in when you're accessing data on it.

  • How to install Windows 7 on 2010 MacBook Air with Lion - Bootcamp Assistant 4.0.1 from USB drive?

    I want to install Windows 7 on my 2010 MacBook Air running Lion - Bootcamp Assistand 4.0.1 from a USB drive. I've done this in the past when I was running Snow Leopard and the process was rather easy but now Lion updated the Bootcamp Assistant so i'm no longer able to create a MBR partition without a Super Drive installed. Does anybody managed to do that? Thank you.

  • Windows 7 64-bits on the 2010 MacBook Air

    Should I be expecting some sort of driver incompatibilities running Windows 7 64-bit on the new 2010 Macbook Air? (such as multi-touch mouse pad, bluetooth, wifi, sleep mode, etc).
    If yes, will the older Vista 64-bit be a better choice for the Bootcamp?
    Thanks

    When you start BootCamp using your MacBook Air it will ask you if you want to download the latest drivers (including Win7), it'll give you the option to save them to a DVD/USB drive as well to install them after you install Win7
    No incompatibilities so far.....
    good luck

    Tell my wife that!
    This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
    Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
    There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
    Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.
