Did the new MBA fix the overheating/freezing problem??

hi everyone!
i'd like to ask anyone who has tried out the new MacBook Air: have they fixed the overheating/freezing problem??
i've had 3 MBAs over the 3 years (all different versions) and they were all overheating - i.e. when i was using them for a while and had more internet pages/applications opened they started to get really hot and at some point the computer slowed down to a point where i could not work anymore and had to just close it and let it cool down for a while. playing a youtube video without problems is almost impossible.
i love all the other features of the MacBook Air, but this slowing down is super annoying, especially for someone who spends hours at a computer daily.
plus the other day my friend who has a MacBook Pro asked why my computer was so loud - i never noticed but the fans are just so noisy compared to hers.
so please let me know what are your experiences with the new one compared to the older ones.
thanks a lot!

I have the high end 13" macbook air that came down to about 2000 cnd. It overheats quite frequently though. I find it the strangest when I am only watching netflix on safari. maybe 2 tabs opened with mail and preview app opened... Dont even have to mention other things.. it heats up when I am coding on Coda.. using photoshop (2 files opened)..
Another thing is that sometimes it doesnt register to the current time immediately. After I wake it up from sleep, I have to wait abotu 3-5 secs until the cursor can respond and the time is corrected (usually the time is at when I closed the macbook air.)
Have you guys heard of these problems?
Thx

  • Do the new Imacs fix the Backlight Gradient problem?

    Ok, time to resurrect this question - as my 3rd copy of a 1st gen aluminum imac is starting to burn out my left eye... And I am not the only one if you look at the history of this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502535
    Has anyone had a chance to go into a store and checkout the new model? If someone does can they report their findings here?
    I'm also curious if anyone is going to try and get applecare to fix their old imac by replacing it with a new one that does not have the problem - I am considering it.

    I have a white 24" iMac with LCD display issue. Apple replaced the LCD under Apple Care. The new LCD had the same issue.
    Went back to the Apple Store but, according to the Tech there's nothing wrong. Obviously, they're told to say it's within specs.
    I went directly to an Apple Authorized Repair Center where they were familiar with the issue. So much so that the description on the work order described things I didn't mention but were there (yellowish discoloration in the center of display).
    I won't give in to Apple saying it is what it is. There are perfect displays out there and I won't stop until they replace mine with one!

  • Previously installed Aperture3 on an iMac and a MBP. I Bought a new MBA to replace the MBP and I want to install Aperture3 on the new MBA.  The installer says the serial code is invalid? What do I do?

    I previously bought Aperture 3 and installed in on an iMac and a MBP.  I just bought a new MBA to replace the MBP, but the MBA doesn't have enough memory for me to do a complete restore of the MBP on the MBA.  So I am trying to find a way to deactivate the serial code or Aperture 3 on the MBP so I can reinstall Aperture 3 on the MBA.  I have been searching forums and google and I have not been any answers.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    How did you buy Aperture? Did you buy it from the App Store? Then you can download it again on your MBA, if you sign into the App Store.
    If you bought Aperture buy buying a licence key to unlock the trial, try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
    http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    And if you own the boxed DVD installer , use the DVD to install Aperture on your MBA. If the installer does not work - and you get the message
    "check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X"
    you may have a problem with an expired developer certificate (they expired mid march).
    To fix this, set the Date  in " SystemPreferences -> Date&Time" to a date well before March 2012 and run the Installer again. If that succeeds and Aperture now runs, reset the date to the current date.
    You can see your serial number in the "About" panel in the main Aperture menu bar on your MBP:
    Aperture > About Aperture.
    For the "invaldid serial number" see these links: You may have read the letters incorrectly - some are look alike, "1" or "I", "0" or "O"; your shift-lock key may be set.

    I have the iPad 2 16GB, bought it in August 2011, I worked perfectly but in mid-August 2012 I took her to the store because the microphone did not work reviewed and changed me, but to my surprise that the new iPad had the problem is disconnected WIFI signal I have to be glued to the router, and I did everything he says is supported by the Apple and all other pages and forums regarding this problem is not solved and always disconnects when connected always disconnects again!! passing will be settled as no longer factory warranty although it has neither the three months I renewed new, please help because the investment has been great and I can not use only as "a mirror" I'm waiting a true solution, thanks ....
    Sincerely,
    Catlos

    This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes.  I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever.  My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems.  I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions.  So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme?  I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did.  Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems?  I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.

  • How do you install QuickTime 7 on the new MBA?

    Just got new MBA.
    I own a QT7 Pro license and would like to use it. Problem is: how do I get QT 7 installed?
    Downloaded QT 7.66: installation denied.
    Inserted MBA USB installation stick, rebooted as prompted but where is the option to install QT 7?
    Hope you can help. Thanks.

    Thanks Dave. But what you suggest is exactly what I did BEFORE posting and without success.
    So, in order to answer you:
    1. "optional installs": none on the new MBA usb stick (which replaces the installation DVD).
    2. your link: that's all very well but once you're trying to install QT, as mentioned in my post, Mac OS 10.6.5 doesn't let you.
    Any suggestions?

  • Should new Bootcamp be released for the New MBA?

    Many people installed windows by bootcamp on the New MBA but most of them included me found no internet network. it is commonly explained that bacause the New MBA too new, bootcamp does not support wifi driver for it. I am waiting an update of bootcamp to experience windows on my New MBA. Come on Apple ^.^

    Same problem here, I posted my problems in detail and another user posted a "double option-reboot into windows" workaround in this thread:

  • My browser keeps trying to create new tabs on clicks though I've followed the directions to fix the problem, but it only works for a while.

    Things will be working fine...then suddenly I start getting a new tab with every click. I've followed the directions to fix the problem, and usually deleting the mimes.pdf for a full reset works, but I'm getting tired of this. Everything is up to date as far as I can tell, and my virus and malware programs seem to find nothing wrong. I'm getting tired of this...help??

  • After the new update of the latest iOS, I noticed a yellowish color on the sides of my iPhone 5 screen (Top,Down,Left,Right). Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank You.

    After the new update of the latest iOS, I noticed a yellowish color on the sides of my iPhone 5 screen (Top,Down,Left,Right). Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank You.

    It is highly unlikely that any iOS update could cause this.
    Try a restore as new, if the problem persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Will a new computer fix the problem?

    I currently have a Windows XP system from appx 2004 with PSE 3.0 on it. PSE 3.0 is no longer responding when I try to open the browser or editor or anything! the computer seems to be having other issues as well so I think its time to upgrade to a newer computer. When I last backed up my photos (44,000+) to an external drive, the PSE 3.0 was working fine.    If I get a new computer and install PSE 3.0 on the new computer and use my backup to load all my photos to the new computer..   will the PSE 3.0 load with all of the original tags from the photo browser?

    I have never performed a backup with video files, as I don't have any.
    Nevertheless, based on the way the PSE Organizer works, I am relatively certain that the tags for videos are included in the backup (as well as the tags for photos). I'm also relatively certain that both photos and videos are included in the backup. (Note: I am referring to backups made via the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog)
    But the only way to know for sure is to cross your fingers and try it.
    Best to start a new thread since your question has nothing to do with the original topic (will a new computer fix the problem)

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

    I have tried changing the "DataSourceMode" as below, now the insert command is working, but update command is not working.
    <SharePoint:SPDataSource runat="server" DataSourceMode="ListItem" />
    Also, the lookup dropdown fields are displaying the value as "<a href="Daughterhttp://cpsp10/sites/Employees/_layouts/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId={8F62F444-FB6A-4F03-9522-C4696B45DCD1}&ID=10&RootFolder=*">Daughter</a>"
    instead of only "Daughter".
    Please provide the solution to get rid of this issue.

    http://blog.jussipalo.com/2012/01/sharepoint-2010-data-source-control.html
    While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
    'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
    'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
    <SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"
    />
    Explanation:
    DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
    'i' stands for INSERT,
    'u' stands for UPDATE,
    'd' stands for DELETE.

    I've seen all the posts for fixing the wifi on the 4s, none of them work!  So, who can tell me why my iPhone 4S cannot find any wifi when it used to find wifi, and when it does find a wifi network it can never connect?  You think apple would have a clue how to fix it!  Because turning the wifi on and off doesn't work, resorting network settings doesn't work, even restoring phone to factory default doesn't work...

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

    I'm not sure I understand the question, is the message tone going more then once?
    Turn off repeat message alert here:

    Some people have found this does not stop the repeat miessage tone,
    if you are one of those then I suggest you contact Apple:
