Geekbench Air 2011 slow on battery?
I have sold my 2010 Macbook Air 11-in and just bought a custom 11-in 2011 Macbook Air (1.8Ghz, 128GB SSD, 4GB RAM). I tried running GeekBench 64-Bit on my machine and got similar results as my sister's late 2010 Macbook Pro 15-in (2.67GHz, 4GB RAM).
However my Geekbench score is only 1/3rd when on battery power whereas my sister's Macbook Pro score is unaffected while on battery.
Does this mean that there is only limited CPU power for the 2011 Macbook air while on battery?
Here are the XBench Test Results for:
* CPU
* Memory
* Disk
* Open GL
You can see that with the exception of the disk tests, everything else was 1/3rd slower on battery vs AC power.

Mid 2011 Macbook Air Painfully slow.
Mid 2011 Macbook Air Painfully slow.
Hey everyone. I am writing about my 13 inch Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Recently it has been extremely slow and on occasion has not started up.
I have reset the PRAM and SMC already, yet it is still very slow. I have a couple theories about what might have caused it, are they plausible?
Theory 1: It’s a software problem. I tried to upgrade to 10.8.2 but halfway through the upgrade the computer restarted and somehow I was still on 10.8.1. For fear of a big issue happening I didn’t try to upgrade again. Perhaps it is a flaw in Apple’s software update?
The important thing to note about this update is that I tried to install 10.8.2 around a month or two weeks BEFORE I started having problems. So if these issues were due to 10.8.2’s failed update then it certainly was a delayed reaction.
I would of course like to update to 10.8.2 BUT as my computer is acting EXTREMELY slow and having trouble turning on occasionally I am worried the software update will completely brick the machine. Is that possible? Should I actually finish through with the software update?
Theory 2: It was an electricity problem.
The computer died when I was sitting at a café plugged into their wall sockets. A few days later when I came back to the same spot with my old macbook which is now being used in lieu of the Air it suddenly turned black for a little while. Sensing it might be an electricity surge or something with their system I unplugged the cable. I am not sure if that was paranoia though.
Can an electricity surge or a bad outlet fry a computer? Can it fry the ram so the computer is extremely slow? Does that theory hold any water?
Thanks for your help diagnosing this problem.
All the best.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
Macbook air 2011 so slow speed to visit Internet with WIFI
I bought Mac book air 2011 13' inch core i5 last week. Recently, I found it is sooooo slow to visit
internet with WIFI, even I cannot open the any website with Safari..........
Is there anyone the same to me?????Hi,
i solved the problem this way,
first reset PRAM (google for "reset PRAM lion" if you don't know how = restart and immediately push these buttons simultanously [option] [cmd] [P] [R] )
then
in network prefs, uncheck "ask for confirmation when connecting to other networks"
(or something of that kind, i don't use the english version)
this solved my problem
hope it will help you as well
give peace a chance -
After installing Mountain lion, macbook air 2011 very slow
After installation of Mountain lion my macbook air 2011 got very slow. There has been a firmware upgrade too. Can you help?
Hi guys! Just installed ML on my early 2009 MBAir (after market upgraded to a 240g SSD, but still just 2g of ram), and I panicked a bit at first when it turned out to be painfully slow and not displaying right (+slow trackpad!).
Bear in mind that the first thing ML will do is index your files for spotlight, which takes a while and is a bit of a resource hog that will slow everything else down and cause your machine to heat up.
I let it work all night, but by morning, my CPU usage was STILL at 100% and everything slow...
Activity monitor showed nothing over 10% CPU usage... First tip was to display ALL processes in Activity monitor, and not just MY processes, to see what exactly was sucking up my CPU!
Then, and it seems to often be the culprit on MBA's, it turned out that the kernel_task process was using up to 170% of my CPU usage (!). Problem is, that process sort of does a million things, so it can be hard to pinpoint the actual issue.
One of the things it does though, is work against overheating...
Given the download+install+indexing, my machine had been working all day and night, and was indeed getting super hot. Turning it off and letting it cool down for a whole fixed it all.
Kernel_task is back to normal, CPU usage is normal, display and trackpad are back to perfect. And in the end, ML is snappier than SL for me, even with the bare minimum in memory!
Good luck! <3 -
IPad air is slow to charge the battery
My new iPad air is slow to charge the Battery? I am comparing it to an ipad2
Try a different cable
Use the power adapter/charger that came with the device
Don't charge from a PC's USB ports as they likely do not supply enough current to adequately charge the iPad. Charging will be slow.
Don't use an iPhone's charger to charge the iPad. It's not recommended as it does not supply enough current and will charge *very* slowly.
Try to clean out the 30-pin/Lightning port on the device using a clean toothbrush (or similar) & blow it out. There may be dust/lint preventing proper electrical connection. The older 30-pin port is much more prone to dust & lint getting inside and it's internal conductors are very small. Clean the port out thoroughly and also the 30-pin connector on the cable. -
MacBook Air painfully slow after Yosemite update
Dear all,
I've updated my Macbook Air (2011) to Yosemite in order to make it compatible with Apple TV.
Since doing this everything is VERY slow, not just slightly slow but VERY slow.
I was advised to buy more memory - but it doesn't seem possible to purchase extra memory for a MacBook Air.
I would really like to take a step backwards and change back to my previous OS - is there any way of doing this?
I don't mind not using Apple Tv with my Mac as long as it goes back to working normally.
Thanks and sorry if this question has already been posted.Hi,
I ran Etrcheck and this is the result :

Why is my macbook air so slow?
why is my macbook air so slow?
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|nspace-h|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -

Mac Book Air 2011, 13inches i5
OS X Lion 10.7.1I just bought the same machine you did last week - also in Oz.
As you noted, I also had issues with slow WiFi as I started using the machine. However, I upgraded to Lion 10.7.1 and have not had any noticable problems since. I did not try some of the other fixes that are suggested so I don't know if they help. -
Upgrade Air to new style battery
I've got an 11" Air that was purchased in Dec of 2011. Can it be upgraded to the new style, longer life, battery?
Youre running current OSX, there is no "newer" battery,
your specific build model of Air requires a specific battery of which there are no alternatives. -
MacBook Air 2011 Fan increased after installed mountain lion
Hi all,
I have a Macbook Air 2011, Intel core i7. After when I installed ML I noticed that battery go down very fast (about 2:40h) and the Fan speed RPM is about 6500 all time, but I haven't any strong operation pending or App. I have the same app open since lion (Internet, chat, jdownloader) in background (skydrive,evernote,weatherhd) the same app and background task I have with Lion.
In monitor activity all task is from 1% to 20-30% of usage.
Any Tips?I only have the fan kick in when the graphics is getting hit hard (playing games, driving external displays, etc) with crappy intel on board graphics.
Is your MacBook Air in a protective case, skin or having anything block the vent hinge?
Definitely sounds like the OS thinks it needs to keep running the fan.
You might try this smart temperature desktop widget and monitor your temperature to see if there is any sane reason for the fans to be on (they are loud!).

The screen on my mac book air 2011 goes dull when it shouldn't be. Any tips?
Screen on macbook air 2011 goes quite dull even when I'm operating it. It is as if the machine is going to sleep although it shouldn't be doing so.
It is a little slow to rouse from this dulled state.
Unplugging and re-plugging power socket appears to remedy this problem But it shouldn't really be happening should it? Any ideas?Does it hapen when your rest your fingers on the trackpad? If so it can be a state of zoom....
Try different trckpad settings (Apple, system settings, trachpad)
Hope that helps -
MacBook Air, 2 months old, battery can't keep power
Macbook air , 2 months old, battery cannot keep power. Using it for less than30 second, all system black out. it can be used only when plug in wire.
also battery charged very slow, 8 hours for 30%. The next day i charge another 8 hours, got another 40% so total battery is about 90% but when take of the wire, computer black out like no battery left again.There are many third party batteries that are at best suspect. I have seen on Amazon what appear to be legitimate OEM Apple batteries which I suspect are graymarket products. You may try that at your own risk. If you purchase from Apple. you will know what you will be getting and with a warranty.
Ciao.
OWC has what appears to be a battery that will fit your MBP. They are a reputable vendor for Mac compatible products,

How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?
How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?
It depends on the input connection for the projector, but since many are rduced resolution, VGA seems to be the prevalent common connection.
It's just a matter of buying the adapter that adapts VGA to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port on your Air. If it is a DVI or HDMI connection input on your projector, the online Apple Store carries that as well.
This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need for VGA.
Here's the DVI adapter.
For some reason, I am unable to bring up the Moshi HDMI adapter on Apple's site. -
I have a MacBook Air 2011, running Lion 10.7.2, and Safari won't load any pages. Firefox loads everything just fine. What's going on?
d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
application and the WebKit framework
was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
What version of osx is on your install disks?
Not sure, I'll have to check them.
I'd like to avoid a archive & install, but I'm beginning to think it's my only remaining option.
