Help! LEFT SIDE OF MACBOOK AIR SCREEN NOT WORKING
The left side of my screen has horizontal lines and static.It is about 1 1/2 inches in. It is constantly moving and the left side of the screen looks backwards in that section. The rest of my computer works fine, I just can't touch the left side. I have no clue what happened.
you have a faulty Air, ...if purchased within 14 days return for a new one.
Before doing same reset SMC
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
unlikely this will solve same.
Your logic board and/or monitor cable are defective (most certainly). If out of 14 days make appt. for repair/diagnostic.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. -
I spill all my coffee on my new MacBook Air, its not working anymore, what should i do ? I have to buy a new one coz its pricy to fix it.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement. -
Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

Macbook air speaker not working
I recently discovered that the right speaker to my Macbook Air isn't working... I've tried:
checking sliders in Sound System Preference
checking MIDI Utility
zapping the PRAM
resetting all prefs (using Onyx)
removing the bottom to look for a loose connection
Nothing's worked - anybody got any clever ideas how I might fix this (and, no - I don't have extended AppleCare). Thanks!Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.

Why my macbook air camera not working? Neither Photo Booth nor Face time.
I have not been able to use Face Time, Photo Booth and Skype as the camera of my Macbook air is not responding? Any solution guys? Will appreciate the answers from the people who have experienced this problem and have solved it successfully.
I had this same problem, and the way i have resolved it was by doing a back up for the Time Machine. Hadn't done that in 190 days and after I did it my camera work after a sleep for the first time in months.

Macbook air either not working or working very very slowly on wireless
At home I have 2 laptops: a macbook air and a compaq presario v6000. The macbook air is either working very slowly with the eircom broadband, or else not working at all. The presario works at a good speed and is consistent. The air is fine on all other networks. Strangely, download speeds are normal nbut nothin else is normal.
I'm running OS X if that mattersPower off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode

I have an iphone 4S and it has been doing crazy things like typing on its own. IT's like someone is shadowing my phone. Also, the left side of the phone keys get frozen, any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Nothng worst when you need to call or text someone urgently and i can not do it as computer takes over... thank and have a wonderful day!!
More than likely a failing display. You can try restoring it to see if that helps, but you'll probably have to have the phone replaced. make an appointment at the genius bar.

My earphones only work on the left side on Macbook Air (2012)
I don't remember if it wasn't working from before, I just bought a new Macbook Air; today, I plugged in my earphones and only the left side was working (left bud). It also works this way with my headphones and Apple Earbuds. Any ideas?
It could be that they're faulty, or myabe even your PC. Have you tried another pair of headphones on the PC to see if it's the PC that's faulty instead of the headphones?

I participated in video conference with my company last week, and now I cannot use Facetime or Skype because the camera is not working? Help, I cannot find the button to free up my camera!!
If you installed some kind of software to take part in the conference, remove it.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -
Macbook air keys not working and now unable to boot up
Really frustrated today. So this is basically what happened. My macbook air 2012 was fine this morning but after i had lunch and came back to it alot of keys were unable to work. There have been no water spills or anything like that. I tried every possible solution and then i realised my software was out of date and decided to update to latest software. However while installing the new updates a message popped up saying an error had occured and i was left with a blank grey screen and a pointer. I waited a few minutes but still nothing had happened. Then i decided to shut down my computer and after i rebooted i was gretted with this
panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff8002c59241): "unable to find driver for this platform... etc etc
and the screen just stood there with a screen full of words. I searched for a solution to this and realised i could reinstall OSX by pressing cmd R and reboot but jus to my luck the key R was one of the keys that wasnt working. So now im kinda screwed not knowing what to do. Im probably gonna take it to Apple and see if they can do anything but for now does anyone have any suggestions??Since any diagnostics at this point are utterly deadlocked, no; however see SMC reset below for last chance option before appt. with Apple
re-verify still the same.
Make an appt. with your local Apple store for full diagnostics and possible reinstall of your OS.
I hope you had a backup your vital data on your machine, a complete restore may be required, though that is indeterminate.
Peace.
See if you can perform a SMC reset to get out of same:
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC. -
Macbook Air clickers not working?
suddenly, my Macbook Air clickers both (right and left) in the bottom of the Trackpad not working? Please help
FYI, there is only one clicker in the middle of the trackpad. Getting debris down the side of the trackpad may cause this. You should consider calling Apple or carrying the computer in, it may need a repair.

MacBook Air internet not working
I have a MacBook Air and just the past couple days the internet is not working correctly. I go to Facebook and I can't scroll the screen or click anything. Other sites work for a bit then stop. I don't know if I have a virus or what is going on please help me. Also I had to use my iPhone to write this because of course my computer wasn't working.
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -
Left side shift/command/option keys not working
I have a 2010 11" macbook air and out of nowhere my left side Shift Command Option keys are not working at all. Anyone had this issue? or know what I can do to solve it?
I have tried connecting my keyboard to it and doing the reset PRAM, SMC, PMU with no luck. I tried installing new Mountain Lion OSX hoping it was a software issue and it is still not working.I had a key fail on my MBA and the problem progressed to other keys. It turned out to be the electoonics in the keyboard, not the individual keys. When it progressed to W, I had to replace it;) Given you have two keys failing at once it could be a similar problem.

Macbook Air keys not working and erratic trackpad
I purchased my macbook air 13" in 2o11. About 14 months after I purchased it, the trackpad was acting erratic. I took it to the genius bar and they recommended replacing it. Since my initial warranty had expired, I decided to replace it myself. Everything was all fine and dandy until about a month ago when the trackpad started acting erratic again. I took it to the apple store and the recommended replacing the trackpad again even though initial diagnostics showed that nothing was wrong with the trackpad. I decided to replace the trackpad myself again {using brand new OEM trackpad}, and a day after I replaced it, I noticed that the zero button and the command keys stopped working, even though the trackpad issue seemingly resolved. I'm not sure what to do or what the problem is. Does anybody have any suggestions? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Since any diagnostics at this point are utterly deadlocked, no; however see SMC reset below for last chance option before appt. with Apple
