I have accidentaly droped my mac book air. when i turned it on it keeps on freezing can someone help me?
i had just started using mac and i dont know what to do.
Well, since you dropped it, this problem is not covered by Apple's limited warranty. You should take it in for service and have a professional look at it. We have no idea what kind of damage was done to it when it was dropped.

In the service said that they need 10 days for diagnostics only!!, and I am in the middle of some important presentation, and cant afford to be without Mac book for that long
You need to be more clear about what you are asking.
What are these 'sparkles' do you mean when you closed the macbook, sparks appear? -
I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion . The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive . I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory . Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely. The data I actually keep on there is 9GB Thanks for any help
I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
I tried it out again.
I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
I watched to the end of the movie.
Then I quit Quicktime Player.
And I shut down the computer.
I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
I normally use vlc to watch movies.
Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc.
So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that. -

If you're looking to get an SSD with increased capacity, they can be purchased from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express
They are very easy to install.
Note that I'm not sure on how this may impact your warranty. Nothing in an Air is considered user upgradable. Therefore there would be no reason for a consumer to open it up. As Apple does not consider the SSD as user replacable, it may cause warranty issues. I have not seen any comments from anyone who has upgraded their SSD and subsequently had to have service. -

Mac Book Air is charged, the apple appears but the broken circle just keeps going and does not even take me to the sign in; any hints?
If you don't see any option, maybe your hard disk is damaged.
Close the OS X installer pressing the red button at the top left corner of the window, and open Disk Utility. Then, after opening Disk Utility, look at the left sidebar. What do you see at the top of the sidebar? Do you see the hard disk? If not, take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get it repaired.
If you see the hard disk, select it and try to repair it. If it shows an error at the end, you will have to take the Mac to an Apple Store -

I have also had on some occasions a bright white screen with a folder and a flashing question mark appear but it's not because of any external devices as they have all been removed please can someone help me as I have no idea why this keeps happening to my computer and I'm worried that there's something seriously wrong it's only about 6 months old and I have no experience in dealing with computers ??

I am not seeing the band in between the Library and Project that has Play button and other command buttons. When I go to IMovie and Preferances, I see the
only options as follows "Clip: Apply Slow motion automatically" and Theater : Automatically upload content to icloud. But various forum discussions mention that this should open up options for browser tab, inspector tab etc. I looked at other menu's and I do not find anything. Can somebody help solve this.After repeated search, I found my answer. I have both iMovie App on my Mac. Sadly they don't share the library or events. I liked the version 9 having inspect tab and others where you could manually enter many values which in version 10 takes hec of playing around with your mouse.
For example, In version 10 you have hold the mouse or trackpad to adjust the % of sound of strip and still may not get to desired value. In version 9, you can bring up a window for adjusting audio and enter the values directly. This is user friendly.
I guess, I have to live with two versions for a while. App store does no longer haver version 9. Hope any new updates to OS wont automatically delete version 9. -

How do i wake up a mac book air when in power nap mode?
Simply hitting a key doesn't work to wake up my macbook air when it is in the power nap mode. When the screen is dim, moving the touchpad or clicking any key works great, when the power nap kicks in, its a pain to wake up.
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You can disable power nap from System Preferences:Energy Saver.
