Can't get my new Macbook Air to turn on!

I just bought a MacBook Air, charged it up and it won't turn on!!!  I am so frustrated. Why doesn't the power button turn it on? Is there some weird trick? I can't believe this is happening....Macs are usually so easy!

A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare.

  • I can't get my new Macbook to allow me to sync and still keep my phones existing iTunes library. Even though it is the same account it doesn't seem to recognise that my Apple ID is the same

    I can't get my new Macbook to allow me to sync and still keep my phones existing iTunes library. Even though it is the same account it doesn't seem to recognise that my Apple ID is the same

    If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
    On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.

  • Can I setup my new macbook air without the voice over?

    I was given a new macbook air as a gift and if it cannot be setup or used without the voice over feature I will have to return it. I cannot imagine why anyone would think this is a good idea. I just want to use it like a laptop.... is that too much to ask?

    I'm having the same exact issue. Got it as a gift, and can't get past the set up. I would try the fix dominic suggested, IF I could just get past the "What country do you live in" question. It won't let me select a country, and so far, can't access anything else on this thing until I get past that part... which I can't, after trying for 3 hours now. 
    The steps given in the 'voiceover' tutorial don't seem to do anything, but cause system error beeps.
    I can't select a country via the 'mouse pad' either.

  • Can I get a new macbook pro under the warranty?

    Its been two months since I got my macbook pro. I got the newer 2011 version. Less than a month into getting it my keys started falling off and less than 2 months later my hard drive went out for no reason and I had to get it replaced. And now my other keys are all falling off too. I don't understand. I feel like I was sold a refurbished mac because everything keeps breaking. Do you think its better to just get a new macbook pro? Is that even possible? I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?

    If you have had this Mac for less then a year then the computer is still under warranty.
    I also feel like it takes a while to turn on than when I first got it. How long is the normal start up time?
    It depends. If you have applications set to launch when you startup the Mac, that can slow down the amount of time it takes to boot your Mac.
    Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab.

  • Can I connect my new MacBook Air to my USB external hard drive?

    Can any of the ports on a new MacBook Air (USB3 or thunderbolt) connect by cable to an external hard drive that's old-style USB?  Thanks!

    Yes, the USB port is a combination USB2/USB3.  Should work fine.

  • Can I connect the new Macbook Air 11" to firewire 800 drive?

    I have a fast Firewire 800 outboard Disk Drive [Oyen 1TB 2.5"] which works flawlessly with my iMac desktop.
    Its portability makes it ideal for use with the new MacBook Air 11" [Lion], as a means of making all my data available while traveling.
    Is there a way to interface the FW 800 port of the drive to the Thuderbolt port of the Air?
    Thanks,

    Sonnet has announced a Thunderbolt to FW800 adapter, and Apple lists this adapter as a featured accessory for Thunderbolt. I called Sonnet and asked when it will be available, and they indicate the end of Sepetember. So, hopefully it's not "vaporware".
    I will be probably purchasing one right away, since I have a couple of Firewire drives that I can then restore full-speed functionality.

  • Can I buy a new MacBook Air and install Lion 10.7?

    I am about to buy a new MacBook Air 13" and want to install Lion 10.7 on it.  This is for a particular reason related to some of my apps being fine with Lion but not yet updated for 10.8.
    So can I buy a MacBook Air which has 10.8 installed, and then erase te drive and install 10.7.4 from a DVD (which I already have here)?
    Thanks.

    You possibly have an option. If you are wanting to buy a "stock" model, as opposed to a "build to order" model, then you might be able to find a MacBook Air at a retailer, like Best Buy", who may have older stock with Lion installed. I'm not sure how long a retailer might have old stock. I suppose it depends on their policies and turnover. Any that are in stock are elligible for a free Mountain Lion upgrade, such that you would have the ability to run either, at your discretion.
    Once I got my new MBA, one ofthe very first things I did was to create a clone backup. That way, I could more easily revert if ever I wanted to.

  • Can I get the new MacBook with a 1 tb Hard Drive?

    Well very good looking the new (GOLD) MacBook announced on Monday 9 March 2015.  But with just one USB-C port this means having a number of adapters with me at all times ---
    But the big concern is whether I can get at least 1 tb of storage space.  I have a 5 year old MB Pro with a 500 gb SSD and I removed the Optical Drive to install a 500 gb HD.  Now 5 years later…  Am I going to be limited to 8 gb of memory and 500 gb of storage space?  Not a lot of progress there!
    I know I can move to the 13" MacBook Pro and get more connection possibilities plus 16 gb of RAM and a 1 TB drive - but I would like to purchase the latest technology (especially since I keep my Macs a long time! - My 1989 SE is still running OS 6.0.4…  --- OK I'm not planning on 26 year lifespans but hey, 5 years, yes, please!)
    Any comments appreciated.  I see where they say one can move to 1.3 gHz (turbo to 2.9) - but I don't see where to select that on the Apple Store -- and I see nothing about where to select 16 gb of RAM  nor a 1 tb SSD.
    Thanks for any comments or opinions or web links!

    Wow this is a great reply!  I did not mean to imply that I would consider or even imagine that a 5200 rpm Hard Drive or anything like that would work with the new MacBook – but what I had NOT considered was that a standard SSD like I have in my MBP-13" (2010 mode)l would also NOT FIT in this almost iPad thin new MacBook!  Of course you are 100% right - it is going to be a real special flash drive -- and yet I am surprised that a 1 tb is not at least offered - even if for $400 or so more--- and I think this is so they have some way to differentiate the MacBook (new) with the MB Air and the MB Pro. 
    Certainly tempting!  I will wait to see what Belkin and others offer as to docks - and also to see if Apple doesn't offer a 1 tb option within a year.
    Thanks for your fine reply!!!!!!

  • Is it possible to can I get installments for macbook air?

    Hello. I'm a student in Arizona and I'm from Turkey. I'm living in a boarding school and I wanna buy a new macbook for my classes because my current one is 6 years old and started to working really slow with some other issues. I wanna know if it's possible to get installments by using a credit card. Only thing is my credit card is belong to Turkey but I buy stuff from internet all the time. Is it possible to can I buy a macbook air with installments by using my Turkish credit card?

    You realise this is the Pages forum?
    Your MacBook is probably running slow because you have a full hard drive.
    Buy a WD Passport USB Hard Drive and back off as much as you can from your Mac so that at least 20% of the HDD is free.
    Also run optimisation utilities over the Mac to clean it up.
    Additional RAM is the best investment.
    As to whether you can pay your Mac off in installments, using a credit card to pay debt, a better question would be why are you not saving for a new Mac, negotiating a best price and then paying for it? Common sense will tell you that you will save a lot of money and own your new Mac much faster.

  • Can I partition a new macbook air hd to run lion and snow leopard?

    I have a new 2011 Macbook Air and it came with Lion. I still have some mission critical programs that are not yet compatable with Lion. Can I partition the HD (I have 256GB) and dual boot with Snow Leopard? I have the Snow Leopard upgrade disk from another Mac. Will Snow Leopard work on this machine?

    No. The new MBAs require Lion and will not run Snow Leopard.

  • HT1338 Can i get siri on macbook air ?

    Hi
    I recently purchased  OIs Lion Version 10.8  €17.99 very slow to download said errors . The only reAson i bought it was to get SIRI on my Macbook air. I need somthing like noteability on my mac so i can dictate and it will type/text and read aload back to me. Any ideas please? My i phone 4 will not support it, any help appreciated.

    Siri only runs on an iPhone, not a Mac. You will need an iPhone 4S or later for Siri.
    There is a work around that includes enhanced voice search  >   https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-search/id284815942?mt=8
    And check out Dragon Dictation for iPhone  > https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-search/id284815942?mt=8
    If your Mac is running slow, check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
    Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About this Mac > More Info > System Report then select Storage on the left under Hardware.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
