Startup Disk issue in new Mac Air. Replaced with another new mac, then again. MS Excel culprit?

Hey guys, I bought a macbook Air 11’ 4GB 128GB (Mid-2011(after selling my 13” macbook pro) and the problems seem to be never ending.
My primary work involves using MS Excel so I installed a licensed version of Office for Mac 2011 and started using excel on my new mac machine. Within few minutes I got a message pop-up on screen “YOUR MAC OS STARTUP DISK HAS NO MORE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR APPLICATION MEMORY”.
I checked the size of storage and there was just 5 GBs worth space left despite the fact that there was not a single photo, music, video on the new mac apart from a few MBs of excel files. I took it to the vendor (APPLE PREMIUM RESELLER) who after re-installing lion returned it to me and the same issue again popped up. Finally, they diagnosed an SSD problem and after a week of waiting, I was given a brand new shiny macbook air MC969 (same model).
I used the new one and again while using excel, the same issue has come up. I’m really fed up of this stupid error bcoz I was using the same OFFICE FOR MAC suite on my macbook pro and never suffered any such problem. I have also twice thrice completed all the steps I was told to do (like repair disk perm. Emptying the cache etc. )
Since India doesn’t have any Apple owned stores but only Premium Resellers whose replacement etc policies are not governed by Apple.
They do not even refund the money but have given an option of diagnosing the machine and replacing the problematic part.
I googled the web and found no such issued with EXCEL. Strangely, other apps in the office suite seem to work well without any issues.
I have attached the screenshots that how while using excel, within a couple of minutes, mac starts to heat up, then storage decreases and finally the error where mac becomes dead slow.
Please help me to determine where the cause lies.

The Excel files size range between 29KB to 60KB.
That's it.
I called up the reseller and he said that the replacement period is now over and mac would only be repaired.
I dont want my Mac to get unscrewed

Wifi disconnect issue w new Mac

I bought a new Mac about a week ago. Right away I started experiencing wifi disconnect issues. I called customer support line and they had me reset the eprom. I don't recall the key sequence now. The problem went away for a week but has now returned. Is this a hardware quality issue?

right my friend, you know this is not an uncommon issue with mac, all my macs have the same issue (macbook, mac pro, mac mini and older imac), i disconnect the wifi and reconnect to sole the issue. it depends alot on what you have thats goign on around you, if there is a lot of wireless networks in your area then this might cause the issue. i improved this problem using a time machine and set the wireless to 5ghz only - it helped. i also bought an airport express to strengthen the network and touchwood this is a rare problem for me now!
try moving the modem around in case it this - ensure its not on the floor or touching the floor, there are many tips for improving modem connections look on youtube
however the sequence for this is on

Quality issues with new Mac Mini 09?

I've been itching to hit the 'buy' button -- but in reading the many postings about the new Mac Mini, I'm seeing lots of issues with the bluetooth ... *wireless signal* ...
Is there anyone who's not experiencing any problems?
Sounds like it may be a hardware issue with connections... the last thing I want.
My other choice is the 2008 Mac Pro which seems trouble free.
What do you think?
Thanks.

There is a general issue/trend with the new Mini. There are plenty of reports in these forums and the news has begun to hit the wider press; I guess this is more important to a company with only 2-3% desktop share than posts to these forums. I went to the Genius Bar on Saturday and they have now lodged an official bug report with Apple. It looks like the Mini cannot pair with more than one HCI device. So if you pair with the mouse first the keyboard won't work and vice-versa. They don't think the Mini hardware is broken but that we will just have to wait for Apple to fix the firmware.
Where I do agree is that some issues are OS-X 10.5 related and can therefore affect all Macs. The WiFi has issues where it randomly drops, it doesn't seem able to re-connect at all to channels above 13 and only manually to channels below 12. The system resume function is unreliable. All these started when we moved from 10.4 to 10.5 and so far they have not been addressed. One issue is that there does not appear to be a way for users to log bug reports, except when software crashes. However, the bluetooth issues on the Mac do appear real and are either firmware or hardware related.

Can not do an installation on my newer mac.

I recently bought a new mac and transferred all my files and data over from my old mac. CS5 did not work and prompted me to re-install the software. I put in the DVD, double-clicked the INSTALL icon and nothing happens. I double-clicked it several times and nothing launches, nothing happens. I've already trashed the old software. What do I do?

Run the cleaner tool and start from scratch. You busted your own *** (you know what I mean) by using the migration procedure.

Migration Assistant and permissions issues with new Mac Pro

Hi There,
I've not had any significant issues with Migration Assistant in the past but I can't create a reliable system with my new Mac Pro.
After using Migration Assistant during the initial setup, my user account wasn't even transferred. I tried restarting but in the end, I followed these instructions to reset and run the assitant again: http://stationinthemetro.com/2013/11/10/make-mavericks-re-run-the-setup-assistan t
I've just finished running it for a second time, and while the user account is now on my new system, there are so many permissions issues that the system is unusable (I can't even run Safari). Creative cloud, 1Password, safari, Dropbox are all apps that give me Disk i/o or permissions errors.
If I look in the user folder, many directories within it have a red minus icon. I've tried fixing permissions using Disk Utility but something is not right.
In the past, the new system just boots like the old one but this time round, it asked me to create an account after Migration Assistant had finished - is this normal? I used the same username and password as before but I'm not sure Migration Assistantis working properly.
Does anyone know a full-proof way of fixing and transferring my account without having to spend hours downloading OSX for a full erase and install?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply,
I didn't understand exactly what to put into AppleScript sorry (never used it before) - so I just ran the following from the Terminal:
$ echo $UID
$ sudo chown -R 503 ~
And restarted - everything works now - thanks heaps.
What had happened and is this something I did or did Migration Assistant just get confused?
I have 3 new Mc Pros to setup on Monday so just want to ensure those are hassle free.
Cheers
Ben

OS X v10.8.2 Combo updater issues with new Mac mini?

Anybody had any issues installing this "combo updater" on a new Mac mini?

Your computer requires a special update that it's not available. Wait until Apple releases it

Bizarre network autonegotiation issue on new Mac Pro

First of all, sorry if this is old news but a Google search turns up no helpful solutions even though many seem to have encountered this issue.
Just received my new Mac Pro. I connected it to a GigE port with a Cat5e cable. I was noticing what I thought to be atrocious network performance between it and my NAS (80Mbits/sec), checked the settings and lo and behold, it had autonegotiated 100Mbit/sec on the link. This is of course wrong. I tried multiple cables, including cables that are running at gig speeds (autonegotiated) to other devices.
On a lark I moved the cable from Ethernet 1 to Ethernet 2 on the Mac and bingo, it negotiated 1000Mbit/sec. So... what the heck? Why won't Eth1 do so?
Thanks in advance,
G.

When I say "brand new," I mean "brand new." I took it out of the box, plugged it in, set it up, and noticed the low autonegotiation speed (100Mbits/sec). After switching cables and switch ports, I moved the cable on the computer from Ethernet 1 to Ethernet 2, and it negotiated 1000Mbits/sec. Back to Ethernet 1, back to 100Mbits/sec.
I've seen a number of threads on this issue via Google search but never a single resolution.

Resolve/FCPX playback issues w/ new Mac Pro

when I have both FCPX and Resolve open on my new Mac Pro, my playback is glitchy in both programs. In FCPX, I get black frame flashes. In resolve, it glitches out w/ neon colors and won't give a clean export/share.
Any ideas what can be causing this?
My Mac is driving a NEC 272w via a displayport> mini display cable.
Thanks!
Kyle

I've no idea what is causing the problem as I know nothing about Resolve but my reply will bump you to the top of the page giving others more chance to see your question.
Are you optimizing your footage?
Also you need to give exact details of the format you are shooting and your project specs.

Question about Lion/Mountain Lion installation on a new Mac

How is Lion/Mountain Lion installed on brand new Macs? Is it freshly installed from scratch or are they done by way of upgrade like when you buy it from the app store? Thanks.

When I got my new Macbook Pro (with Lion already installed), I purchased a 16GB USB Flash Thumb Drive, than used SuperDuper (or was it Carbon Copy Cloner) to copy the mostly original contents of the new Macbook Pro to the USB Thumb Drive. And because I'm the paranod type when it comes to backups, I did it again, on a SD Card and did it again.
I also used the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to put a recovery partition on a few external devices (including the USB Thumb Drive and the SD Card), so I have multiple ways to recover Lion should something go "Bump in the Night".
As to how Apple gets the OS on the disk, my guess is that at the factory they clone a master image onto the disk using a very fast sector by sector copy or a utility similar to SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (but most likely something of Apple's creation).

Anyone having Audio Issues with new Mac Mini, new Thunderbolt Display and new Pegasus R4?

I can't listen to the built-in speakers on my brand new Apple thunderbolt monitor to the terrible audio quality. I'm running Mac Lion on a new Mac Mini with a brand new Promise Pegasus R4 - all purchased in January 2012. The entire setup is connected via Thunderbust errh, I mean Thunderbolt.

Hi,
I'm also having an audio problem, which I suspect now is caused by my Thunderbolt display.

Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
Fatal error - missing component
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
Thanks!

Did you use Apple's migration tool? It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

CS4 Installation Issues

Hi,
I'm having a rather difficult time re-installing my Adobe CS4. I had it installed on windows 7 before, but recently crashed it. When I went to reinstall Adobe it comes up with "Installation Error" on the first disk and tells me all the programs have failed to install. An error number is not given. I downloaded the Adobe Support Advisor and it says there is no issue? I then contacted customer support via telephone and they reccomended that I go onto my admin account, run a CS4 Cleaner Utility then try installing again. I have tried this, but I still get the same error message.
I am running Windows7 Home Premium 64bit.
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz
4GB Ram
I've no idea how to fix this. Has anyone ran into a similar issue and is there any way to resolve it?
Help much appreciated,
Chelsea

I was on the phone with customer service again today and copied the files to my desktop, yet it still
won't install. Looking into the matter more I found the two errors were error numbers 1603 and 1935. I looked through the forums and googled around a bit, but the fixes still aren't working.
I've booted off the disks before which is why it's so puzzeling to me now.

How to re-instal OS Lion, since i don't get any installer from my new mac mini 2,3ghz i5??

Before that everything is fine. I think i need to install new Lion OS.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Installation Failure on new Mac Pro

I'm unable to install service pack 3 on the windows xp installation I have on my Mac. The error dialog says "additional 4 megabytes of storage required". The error is erroneous - there's 80 GB free on the windows C: partition where it is attempting to use during the installation process.
Google searches reveal that boot camp version 2.1 is required to install sp 3. I've already installed the boot camp drivers from my new machines OS X install disk (which was quite new at version 10.6.4). Presumably these boot camp drivers are version 3.1 or 3.2.
After the SP3 install failed, I tried downloading and install 2.1 (hoping to install SP3 then progress through the series back up to 3.2). The 2.1 boot camp installer does nothing when run. Perhaps it's logging some info somewhere but I don't know where in windows to find it.
Boot camp 3.2 requires 3.1 as a pre-req. Boot camp 3.1 says the installation of 3.0 is required as a prerequisite. I can't find a copy of 3.0 out there on Apple's site.
I know XP is old but I don't dare run it without SP3 as there are at least dozens of security fixes in that patch if not hundreds.
Google searches also turned up that there is a fabled registry fix that will get rid of the "4 megabytes required" error but I wasn't able to find the specifics of that registry fix anywhere.
Any suggestions out there ?

Trouble with SP3 are numerous, though not 100%, sometimes it just wipes out an entire drive.
On Mac Pro, you have to remove all the other drives before starting the install.
Rather than XP, there is Windows 7 which has more and better security.
Ignore Boot Camp 2.0, the "or later" should be in there and of course Macs come with 3.0.x anyway.
You can't install any drivers that affect Windows until after Windows is up and running.
