Brand New MacBook Air 2012 Fan Always On with Only a Few Programs Open!
Got this awesome machine a few days ago. Everything is perfect except the fact that the fans are on 24/7! I have nearly no applications running and I've cheked the activity monitor and nearly everything is at 0% and the programs that aren't are around 5% (or less). I've got a protective case on the computer and I've taken it off and tested the situation out and without the cover the MacBook Air still runs the fans at full speed.
As I'm typing this, the fans are just blasting. I never new a computer fan could get so annoying!
Oh snap. FahCore_a4 user: nobody CPU: nearly 400%!....what on earth is this. I did a Google search and it's suppose to relate to a Windows thing....

Supposedly relates to a "Share your computer power for research". So this is what I get for doing charity? How rude!
Found the software screwing with my computer:

Brand New MacBook Air Randomly Resetting (IMO WiFi Issue)
Good evening,
My problem is as follows:
I purchased a brand new Macbook Air last week and since the get go have been having issues while transferring large amounts of data over WIFI. The issue is that it seems when there is no activity (I leave the files transferring and have no interaction with the computer) and the files are transferring, some sort of error occurs and creates the system to panic and subsequently reboots.
I have contacted Apple, and they ran me through a few common procedures (Reset SMC, RAM, Disk Repair, etc...). On my own I also ran the Hardware Tool several times and the results was always the same (everything in perfectly working order). I also did a restore in the event that it may be some faulty system file, yet to no avail as the problem persists.
As per my title, I believe it has something to do with WiFi card, as I even disconnected all peripherals (USB Apple Keyboard & My Passport External HDD), yet again and as mentioned above the system continues to reboot without any apparent reason.
Below is a copy of the log, certain information has been changed such as UUID, but everything else is as is.
Could it be a hardware problem? As I am only seeing (as of now) this happen whenever I leave the computer and it is downloading a file.

I have latest version of Mountain Lion on brand new MacBook Air but can't install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe website as it always times out with error message...?
OK...I have tried to download from:
get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
It tells me that the Adobe Flash Player is version 11.5.502.146
Intel based Macs
Browser: Safari, Firefox, Opera
I click Download now (I don't have any antivirus software running or a firewall)
The screen then changes to say:
Thankyou your download will commence immediately...
Then I get a nes screen with message:
Request Timeout
The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.
Reference #2.c29aef50.1359298991.0
I have also tried installing a differnt version by clicking on the "Different operating system or browser?'' and
selecting
Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
Flash Player 11 for Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
The same thing then happens...Thank you. Your download will start immediately...then about 20 secs later
Request Timeout.
Reference #2.c29aef50.1359299497.0
That's as much as I know... -
Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?
I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both still result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.
I have even bought a new Airport Extreme Router just to confirm it is not the router and it still didn't help.
I have brought all items in the same room with wired connections and still same issue.
I was thinking maybe ATV 3 might help since it has 2 wifi antennas and faster processor.
Have tried everything I could think of.
This was one of the main reasons I bought a Macbook Air for this airplay feature. Very frustrated.
Any thoughts; any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksThanks for the suggestion.
I also disabled Norton Firewall and restarted the Air and Now I'm able to use Air Play.
I know that the Apple remedy said that to do that in the support article, but I totally forgot I had that enabled..
It actually works. I can even stream to the Apple TV now through my MacBook Air.
BTW, Go into setting under the ATV, and click on update...you'll see that there was another update avaialble for the last gen of ATV...
It does have to restart twice..I guess once to download and and nother to apply. -

Mavericks 10.9.3If you fan is not working, then you will have to bring the MBA to a repair facility.
You may try a SMC reset:

That might restore the fan function.

Brand new MacBook Air came out of box damaged?
I purchased a new early 2014 13" MacBook Air last week, and I'm already having troubles with it.
I noticed the minute I opened it that there was a small chip on the edge of the laptop near the trackpad and decided to just deal with it cause I thought the genius bar workers might blow me off or accuse me of somehow doing it. Tonight I was working on assignments when I shut the laptop and realised that the screen was very very slightly misaligned on the edges, and then when I flipped it over I found that the bottom casing had lifted on one side near the plastic hinges.
It hasn't left my room and I am very gentle with all my apple products. No one else has touched it, either.
I feel like if I pay $1,400, the product I buy should be pretty flawless?
I'm just looking for reassurance that going to the genius bar is the best thing to do (I've booked in for Saturday). I am also wondering if they replace it, will they give me a refurbished product instead of a brand new MacBook Air?
Thanks ☺️You have a 14 day return policy if you purchased the MBA from Apple. If your MBA meets that criteria, return it.

My brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way.
Hi my brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way. If I try to restart it or shut it down, it will go like it is starting up, but goes to a gray screen and stays there. I can see the mouse and move it, but it won't turn all the way on. What is wrong with it? It had been working fine since I got it, but today it hasn't been.
You may have to see if troubleshooting this issue can help, though the instructions on a process of elimination by symptoms are tedious in the following support article, and are suggested to be performed ahead of trying the process described in the title.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
For the actual SMC reset, note subsection in above, instructions click-open on blue text:
>Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
If the computer does not shut down, and just hangs there, try pressing the power button down for 15 seconds. Check the suggestions in the above article to see if any of them can be used, if the computer will power-up.
There is another item that sometimes can help, but the main issue you say could be resolved by the SMC reset; this other thing is involved NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) so here's an article about it.
•About NVRAM and PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
>Resetting NVRAM/PRAM opens in above, click-to-see instructions on how to reset.
You may have to call ahead to the nearest Apple Store for an appointment to see a Genius; or at authorized reseller, their service product specialist who should be trained to understand how to proceed, just in case there is a hardware issue behind the symptoms. When you call, be sure to have the serial number and purchase date available, when you call an official store.
Or use the 'Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support' to start the process...

Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Internet slow on my brand new macbook air
Hi my internet is very slow (almost unresponsive) when loading pages on my brand new macbook air.
The internet in my house is working fine. I can still stream movies on other devices with no problems.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you
-SarahHave to say comparing this thread to many others that it isn't just the internet and wireless connection. I'm just about ready to throw my new Macbook in the garbage as this has been an ongoing issue since I bought it. And it's not the connectioon as anyone else coming in to our home is able to connect easily, Google TV runs just fine, the only device with issues is the MacBook. The hours I waste waiting for pages to load or trying to reconnect are numerous. Very dissappointed.
While this thread had a happy outcome, most of the others are like my situation where the problem doesn't get resolved. If the standard PCs and windows can work fine why doesn't a Mac. I feel duped and dumped twice as much money into a device that doesn't work as good as the less expensives laptops with Windows.

Brand new macbook air came with bookmarks filled already - is that how they come?
Does a brand new Macbook Air come with the bookmark already filled with web sites?
There are some sample bookmarks to get new users started. Things like Apple, CNN, Wall Street Journal, etc.

Brand New MacBook Air Won't Charge
I just bought a new Macbook Air 1.8 GHz (the more expensive version) and from the second I opened it, it would not charge. The only way I can use the laptop is if it is plugged in. When I look at the computer's info, it says BATTERY INSTALLED: NO CHARGING: NO CYCLE COUNT:0
What happened? Was it supposed to come with the battery installed? Should I send it back?if the store is close take it back and ask for replacement, otherwise call and ask for replacement
you could call support and get it fixed under warranty...
U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
...but if it is brand new you have a reasonable expectation to get what you paid for, so going for replacement is the beter option -
Brand new MacBook Pro 2012 not booting install of Mountain Lion
Hi,
I have a brand new 15" MacBook Pro 2012 model (2.6Ghz, 8GB Ram) - works fine on OS X Lion. As I had just bought it I decided to upgrade it to Mountain Lion straight away, and here's where the problems start.
After apparent install the machine re-boots, but upon re-boot I get what I have found to be called 'the grey screen of death' where the loading icon disappears and the apple logo appears and the screen dulls slightly. I have also noticed that through the install process I lose keyboard and trackpad funcionality and the 'spinning wheel of death' froze, even though the loading icon contined to countdown the minutes till install.
I have read many threads online now about how to reboot and reinstall OS X Lion, I have done this succesfully. I managed to save the OS X Mountain Lion files to an external device and attempt to reboot that way - same problems!
How on earth do I get OS X Mountain Lion working on this machine?
From the threads I have read no one has answered this - they simply answer how to reboot into OS X Lion. Others have stated that they have been in to see Apple's "Genuis" bar and the "Genious's" cannot explain the problem and attempt to put it down to hard drive failures etc. Problem is, there seems to be a **** of a lot of people out there with the same issue - surely it's OS problems and not hardware if it's a brand new MacBook?
Has anyone else experienced this? And does anyone else have a solution to my problem?
For the record, I have updated my EFI and firmware as well as my operating system before attempting install.
Cheers,
LeighWelcome to the Apple Support Communities
As you've Mountain Lion, press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Mountain Lion
