Broken MB Air

Is it possible to give a mack book air with a broken ssd in part of payment of a new mb air in app stores?

Like a broken trade in?    No thats not possible.
Used macbook Airs sell for incredible prices online, ....best option is get a replacement SSD to fix it, then sell it.

  • Is Voice Playback broken in AIR?

    Hi All,
    As I reported previously (here) it appears that voice playback is broken in AIR, i.e. voices with certain frequency profiles are played back with a distinct and unpleasant ringing noise added to them.
    I've created this bug, and included a 'simplest case demo' that clearly shows the problem:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3651790
    The bug's status has been "ToTest" with a reason of "NeedMoreInfo" since mid-October. The demo that I included should make this issue quite easy to test and confirm, and I've replied to the one question that Adobe staff asked, so it's unclear whether "NeedMoreInfo" is accurate.
    Perhaps Adobe has other priorities, and doesn't consider voice playback to be essential to a framework focused on games, but audio playback seems like pretty basic functionality to me. I'm concerned that it has somehow fallen off of Adobe's radar.
    On the other hand, I'm also concerned that I may simply be doing something incorrectly in my code. Might someone on this list might be willing to take a look at the demo project attached to the above bug (demo is here) and either confirm the problem or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Note that the audio file contained in the demo is the worst example that I've found, i.e. the voice's frequency profile causes significant ringing when played in AIR. If you listen to the MP3 file that is included in the project directly, i.e. without AIR, you won't hear the ringing.
    Help?

    Bo - Thanks.
    Justin - Thanks for the thought - and your theory makes sense, but I'm not using the flash library, so that's not the cause in this case.
    I use Flash Builder rather than Flash Pro, and I can recreate this bug in two ways:
    In my language learning app, I load an MP3 file that I've saved to the device's file system. (If I navigate to the same file and use standard Android mechanisms to play the file, it sounds fine.)
    In the sample app that I attached to the bug I've filed, I compile the file into the app, then play it with the code shown below. (I use similar code in my language learning app, but I've distilled the code in the sample app into a "simplest case" example.)

  • Shortcut broken on AIR application update

    When I push out an update for one of my desktop AIR apps that a client may have installed on a Windows 7 or 8 machine, the shortcuts to the app become broken and therefore useless. This gives my clients the appearance that my application is busted when it is not. I continuously have to instruct Windows 7 and 8 users to delete any shortcuts and go to the install directory and create a new shortcut.
    Note that I use the Apache Flex 4.13 build AND that I only tally the version number in the *-app.xml file as I always have.
    Thanks,
    Jack Ring

    Hi,
    We are not able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 9.0.4 at our end. It is a default installation with GNOME desktop environment.
    From the crash log, it seems that the update issue you are seeing is happening while AIR tries to find out the default application for .air extension. I would really appreciate if you could help me figuring out what could exactly be happening on your machine. I would need the following information:
    1. Which desktop environment are you running - GNOME, KDE, XFCE, OpenBox, or some other?
    2. Please run the following commands on your system and let me know the output:
                touch /tmp/test.air
                xdg-mime query filetype /tmp/test.air
                Expected output:   application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip
    3. Please run the following command on your system and let me know the output:
               xdg-mime query default "application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip"
                Expected output: AdobeAIR-application-vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip.desktop
    4. Please run the following command and let me know the output:
               locate .desktop | grep AdobeAIR
    Thanks.

  • Broken MacBook Air display-Sell/fix?

    My screen cracked a few months ago on my late 2010 MBA (base model). Everything else works (via external monitor in clamshell mode)
    Should I sell it as a MBA with a broken display or sell it part by part?
    I'm being offered $100 and nothing more (through craigslist). Is that a bit ridiculous? Can I take it apart sell the parts themselves--or perhaps refurbish it?
    Would you let it go for $100?

    Make an appointment with a Genius at the nearest Apple store.  Show the computer to the Genius, and ask about "fixed price repair".  If the Genius concludes that the damage is not caused by you, you will be in for a very pleasant surprise.

  • TS2948 Broken Macbook Air hinge

    I took mine in to my authorized service provider and was told it would cost about $450 to fix this because I missed the warranty end date by about a month.  Now what?

    pay to have it fixed, fix it yourself, or leave it as is.

  • Mac book air replacement screen

    My macbook air's screen broke and i was wondering if it would be cheaper to buy a screen online and have them replace it or order it through the apple store for 450$?

    Im not aware that Apple will install a replacement part from any 3rd party.
    Cheaper to have Apple do same and part from them as well.
    Your only cheaper option is a screen from a broken salvaged Air as parts extraction. Rather untrustworthy and no warranty of course.

  • RoboHelp's air installers no longer install with AIR 4.0 update?

    Has anyone else encountered this issue?
    After updating to AIR 4.0.0.1390, our RH air help installers no longer work. This includes .air help from 2 - 3 years ago, which have installed fine all these years, all the way up to a recent .air file we created for an upcoming release. This problem occurs on both Mac and Win, with the US version of AIR and the Chinese version of AIR, and it's a critical problem for us. Now when you double-click the .air file to install the help, you get this message:
    "Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author."
    Well, the application author is us. But this isn't a problem that we can fix, because it happened with the AIR 4.0 update.
    Version 3.8 of AIR works fine. Version 3.9 broke our context-sensitive help on the Mac (bug 3648177, filed in Oct, not that it did us any good). Now version 4.0 has broken our air help completely. We are transitioning to HTML5 help but not quickly enough, it seems.
    Can anyone confirm that the same thing happens?
    Thank you,
    Alexandra

    Here is the current status of this problem. I am going into detail in case this helps anyone else in a similar situation.
    Five years ago, I created my first AIR help file and I used a self-signed certificate without a timestamp. Had I read Peter Grainge's info, I would have used a timestamp, but Adobe's help says "Select to include a timestamp on the digital certificate. The timestamp provides information on how long the certificate is valid." Since I thought the certificate would always be valid, I didn't know this was important.
    Fast forward five years. I've created many, many .air help files in many languages, all using the same certificate that I originally created. Thousands of customers have these help files installed, and their certificates have all expired. No one can install or reinstall these help files now.
    Our installer engineer worked hard to find a way to extend the certificates. However, it appears that even though I have the latest version of AIR (4.0) on my system, RoboHelp *may* be using AIR 1.5 to create the .air files, even in RH 11 (this is not confirmed by Adobe but in the output, the HelpViewer-app.xml file indicates that this is true). This is important, because apparently AIR certificates after AIR 1.5.3 have a grace period which allows them to be extended. Certificates from AIR earlier than that cannot be extended.
    I can create new output with a new certificate and a timestamp (I have archives of all my help projects). But, the new certificate and timestamp causes AIR to treat the updated help as if it were new help. It won't install automatically over the old help, and our context-sensitive help is broken.Our engineer tried hard to find a way to prevent the updated help with the new certificate to be treated as a new help, but he says that for older versions of AIR (like 1.5), the "publisher ID" is not separate from the certificate. A new publisher ID is required with a new certificate.
    This is a bad situation, to say the least.
    Vikas has tried to help but what we were able to determine is that my context-sensitive help is functioning properly. I know this anyway, because when the engineer updates the publisher ID for our software to connect to the updated help, all works as expected. But we are not going to re-issue previous versions of our software so that the context-sensitive help functions correctly. All customers with older help who need to reinstall it for any reason, will no longer have context-sensitive help.
    I am still hoping to learn something from an Adobe engineer that will help us be able to re-issue our help and have it not be viewed as a different help installation, or extend our certificates. Vikas does not have this information, though I appreciate that he tried to assist us.
    In my research on this, I also found one person who used a certified, signed, certificate and had it expire after five years. And someone else who used a timestamp but still had the help expire. On the AIR support site, it definitely states that self-signed certificates expire after five years - now I know this. But not a word about this in RoboHelp help.
    In hindsight, I am sorry that I created my help files with AIR.

  • Plugging in macbook air ssd?

    hello.
    i have an SSD that was taken from my broken macbook air and am just wondering how i can plug it in to another mac computer and retrieve the files and stuff?
    is thera usb converter available or anything?
    thanks!

    If you are speaking of the Blade type SSD currently equipping the 2010-2011 MBA's.......
    There used to be one, but Apple politely asked the company that was selling them, to stop.
    And they did.
    This was the device.

  • Need USB / SATA adapter converter for SSD thnsn2128gsps

    Hi,
    I have an ssd from a broken macbook air thnsn2128gsps,
    Is there a converter available to either normal SATA interface or USB 2/3?
    I understand these ssd's use 3.3v and the normal SATA is 5V so a voltage change is needed.
    I just want to connect it to a PC (Got the software to read macdisks) to get the data off the drive.
    Thanks in advance.

    Don't get me started on Macs and non standard interfaces.
    I have found what looks like what we are both looking for, although the price is on the high side for the usb version. Also I have not yet found a UK supplier.

    Strobe was used to verify that the problem was not with my OSMF implementation. Since the results were the same, I am more supsicious of OSMF itself or the underlying AIR framework than the player implementation. Either way, the information I've seen says that progressive download of h.264 video is supported on mobile devices with AIR. It would appear that this is not true in all cases.
    The issue has not been observed on not occur on the desktop. It only occurs with StageVideo enabled playback with autoplay on.
    In the actual product the videos play one at a time. Once the user has finished with a video, the player clears the references to the media. These are OSMF calls; the media assigned to the player is nulled. If this is not sufficient for garbage collection, then I am at a loss as to how to proceed. My test uses four videos that are roughly 1 MB. If there is a memory use problem, then it would appear something is broken in AIR or OSMF.
    I want to be sure I report this correctly. The code involved is more than a snippet, it's a media player designed to be embedded in an app. Do I need to include the complete implementation or will a description be sufficient?

  • OSMF media player used in Muse

    Hi,
    I'm creating a password-protect site in Muse where people can login and then watch videos.  I've been using the OSMF media thing:
    http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/setup.html
    But I realize that because this is Flash based, it will not work on Android and iPhone devices.  The videos I've been making are hosted on the server and I made .F4V video files, then used the OSMF to add them to the Muse web page.
    I could make the videos MP4 but I guess I'd also have to make the OOB and web4 (sorry I can't remember those other file names) to make it all work(?)
    Is there some kind of "media player" where if I  add to the web page all devices including Android and mobile will work?  And hopefully without having to create those other 2 video file types?
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • The glass on my new ipad air was broken one day. I have had it for about a month. 1 day I took it out of its case as usual and the screen was splintered at the top and cracked downwards.  It had not received any bangs, or been dropped or anything.  Help!

    Hi, I have had my ipad air for about a month.  The other day I took it out of its cover and it was splintered from the top with downward cracks.  It is new and under warranty so I rang the support team.  They told me that it would cost about €120 but could be repaired on the spot and they made me an appointment at the local genius bar.  I got there and they told me that I had dropped it or banged it or something.  I said I had not, they insisted that I must have done.  I repeated several times that I had not - it was obvious they did not believe me, they said I must have done.  They then told me they never repaired or replaced broken glass in any ipads, that the man on the 'Support' had been wrong.  They always replaced the whole ipad at a cost of €300.  I was devastated at not being believed and at the amount of money they were asking for.  I left and rang the support again.  I was told their system was down but to call on monday to get a quote for the reparation, I could send it to my home insurance company and they would undoubtedly cover the repair.  I asked how long this was all going to take because, I was in the middle of a big project and this was taking up my time, and also I needed the ipad for my work.  They told me it would be done in a minute.  I rang on the Monday and I was told it would take up to 5 days to send but probably it would arrive sooner (it is now thursday, I have received nothing).  I then rang my household insurance, a big company - and they told me they had never heard of such a cover.  I asked if this was because I had a very basic policy, they said, no it wasn't that - I didn't have a basic policy I had quite thorough policy, but they didn't know of a policy in any comany that would cover this sort of damage.  I was stunned - yet again I had been given false information and false hope by apple.  Yet again I was let down.  I then decided to do a further investigation on the internet and discovered a long trail of comments on Apple Forum of people who have also had splintering and cracking of the ipad air glass for no reason whatsoever.  Some have commented that the glass could be thinner in order to reduce the weight, some have said that the splintering could be caused by a weakness in the casing at the top where it is plastic (the ones that take sims) that might make it more flexible and therefore liable to crack.
    All of the posts and complaints on the apple forum and elsewhere seem to point to a design fault.  However throughout all this I have been mislead by apple support staff constantly who all say different things, I have virtually been accused of lying by denying that my ipad received any kind of impact by apple staff and I have been left feeling incredibly frustrated and upset by the total lack of any kind of real help by Apple.  All this despite being acomplet apple user in my business for the last 25 years, where I have never come across this attitude towards me as a customer before.
    When the screen on my iphone broke, it was because I fell in the street while I was talking on the telephone, it flew out of my hand and smashed on the pavement.  I was rolling around in agony, while my son was holding up the smashed telephone wailing 'Mama, you've smashed your iphone!!!'  This of course, I blamed on noone but myself - it broke because it fell, I paid an arm and a leg without protest to get it repaired.
    This is not the case with my new ipad air.  It has splintered for no good reason at all - and noone at Apple seems to want to help me or to care!
    I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me if there is anything else I can do to ge this matter resolved?

    If it was a refurb replacing one that was under warranty, the warrany is good until the original warranty expires or 90 days from replacement, whichever is longer. In either event, it should still be covered if you've only had it for a month. (assuming you're in the US here). You can try to restore it as a NEW device rather than restoring from your backup, but this sounds like a hardware failure... I think. I'm not sure what you mean by "the top half of the screen slides". If you mean only the top half is touch sensitive, how can you determine that? You wouldn't be able to slide to unlock if that were the case...
    Sorry, I'm a little confused by that description.
