2013 Macbook Air Sound Issues

Alright so I've had my 2013, 13" i7 8GB/512GB Macbook Air for around 2 months. A while back I began encountering issues where the system's sound would just stop working. This issue applies to outputting through headphones and the built in speaker. I pinpointed the problem to occuring only when I closed the laptop while a program was outputting audio through headphones. Examples of programs this has happened with include Spotify, iTunes, and anything that uses audion in Safari (including Netflix and Youtube). After ths occurs, the only way I have found to fix the problem is a complete restart. I am interested to find other people who have, or who have fixed this problem.
On an unrelated note, I have also found a bug where sometimes when I accidently press the power button once and put it to sleep, the computer will sleep but the backlight on the keyboard will stay on. When I press the spacebar to turn it back on, the backlight on the screen will turn on, but the screen will remain black and unchanging. Again, the only thing that will fix this is a forced restart.
Any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
* this occurrence is being looked into.
Much testing on my own and others as well show that in some instances this occurs in Mavericks.
If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
   However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
Also if you have the APP "BOOM" installed, uninstall it, this can cause same as Ive confirmed.

  • Mid 2013 Macbook air Battery issues

    I just bought my new macbook air 1 month ago. Moderate use. However, when it is fully charged, the remaining charge is always lesser than the full charge capacity. I am wondering if there is anything wrong with my battery. Please advise. Thanks.

    I heard that when it comes to battery cycles, if you start at 100% and discharget to 50%, that counts as 1/2 a charge cycle. However, yesterday I just started my 3rd charge cycle, and discharged the battery to 50%, but now I am on my 4th charge cycle. That doesn't make sense..  Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Sean

  • New Mid-2013 Macbook Air Battery Health issues

    Hi,

  • 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

  • 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!!

    Hi Lex,
    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!

    Upgrading the OS should have no effect on your keyboard.

  • 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.

    Yes,
    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. 
    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?

    Is there any other suggestions that you may offer ? Many thanks

    You 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.

  • I am unable to install Virtual Machines on my Mid-2013 MacBook Air

    Dear Apple Support Community,
    I have recently moved away from a Mid-2010 MacBook Pro to a new Mid-2013 MacBook Air. As much as it pains me, I have a need to install a virtual machine running Windows 7 in order to utilize an application called vSphere. The vSphere web interface is too unreliable to use via any web browser, so running a Windows VM is the only way forward.
    However, when using VMWare Fusion 5 (I know 6 is available, but I do not have a license for it) or VirtualBox (very latest version) I receive an error which states that my CPU is not 64-bit compatible. I was under the impression that since Snow Leopard (10.6) was release that Mac OS was fully 64-bit. My MacBook Air is currently running Mavericks (10.9.1). It has a 1.3GHz Intel Core i5 CPU.
    I read that Apple restricts access to the EFI firmware settings, as I originally thought it was a case of enabling Virtualization capabilities on the processor. To further add to the dilemma my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro has no issues running VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox, so I am at a loss as to why I am unable use these virtualization platforms on my new Mac.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I remember reading somewhere that the new macbook air's from 2013 have a 64 bit core i5 4250u processors.
    Also intel mentions it here:

  • 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:

  • Does 2013 macbook air use a special version of OSX 10.8.4?

    does 2013 macbook air use a special version of OSX 10.8.4?

    Don't know about a 'simple data transfer via USB drive'........
    Have to make sure 3rd party software (like MS Office 2008 and CleanMyMac 2, etc) make the trip over to the new Macbook Air. Also, my current MacBook Pro does not have USB 3 and that would make a connect slow, very slow.  Best bet I think is a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt connect.
    Sadly, this is turning out to be 'like two ships passing in the night' in that OSX 10.8.5 is due out 'soon, very soon' and it reportedly will include drivers, etc that make this issue moot.  However, as they say, 'it's my money and I want it now!' , so I won't wait and will settle for 4/5 of the loaf.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Faulty logic boards installed in the 2013 MacBook Air?

    Just discovered the logic board in my 2013 MacBook Air, only one year old, has to be replaced. Computer will not boot up. Anybody else seeing this problem?

    squillo,
    A logic board failure can indeed be frustrating! If the computer is within it's one year warranty or you have Apple Care, Apple will be able to take care of you at no charge! I have a few friends with 2013 MacBook Airs with no issues. Can you be more specific about the model. Most of the time Apple will have two to three release refreshes a year and the hardware is different.
    Thanks,
    Ludeth

  • Use 21.5 inch mid 2010 imac as a display for 2013 macbook air?

    I would like to use my 21.5 inch mid 2010 imac as a display for my 2013 macbook air. I tried using Screen Recycle, however I would prefer more of a monitor situation than a side-by-side extra screen situation. Ideally with my wireless keyboard and mouse. Does anyone have any advice, or am I asking too much from apple? Thanks very much.

    Yes. With an Ethernet cable and a product such as ScreenRecycler.

  • When i use my infocus portable projector, the trackpad on my mid 2013 macbook air completely stops working.

    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.
