  • Brand New MacBook Air Randomly Resetting (IMO WiFi Issue)

    Good evening,
    My problem is as follows:
    I purchased a brand new Macbook Air last week and since the get go have been having issues while transferring large amounts of data over WIFI. The issue is that it seems when there is no activity (I leave the files transferring and have no interaction with the computer) and the files are transferring, some sort of error occurs and creates the system to panic and subsequently reboots.
    I have contacted Apple, and they ran me through a few common procedures (Reset SMC, RAM, Disk Repair, etc...). On my own I also ran the Hardware Tool several times and the results was always the same (everything in perfectly working order). I also did a restore in the event that it may be some faulty system file, yet to no avail as the problem persists.
    As per my title, I believe it has something to do with WiFi card, as I even disconnected all peripherals (USB Apple Keyboard & My Passport External HDD), yet again and as mentioned above the system continues to reboot without any apparent reason.
    Below is a copy of the log, certain information has been changed such as UUID, but everything else is as is.
    Could it be a hardware problem? As I am only seeing (as of now) this happen whenever I leave the computer and it is downloading a file.

  • Brand new MacBook Air came out of box damaged?

    I purchased a new early 2014 13" MacBook Air last week, and I'm already having troubles with it.
    I noticed the minute I opened it that there was a small chip on the edge of the laptop near the trackpad and decided to just deal with it cause I thought the genius bar workers might blow me off or accuse me of somehow doing it. Tonight I was working on assignments when I shut the laptop and realised that the screen was very very slightly misaligned on the edges, and then when I flipped it over I found that the bottom casing had lifted on one side near the plastic hinges.
    It hasn't left my room and I am very gentle with all my apple products. No one else has touched it, either.
    I feel like if I pay $1,400, the product I buy should be pretty flawless?
    I'm just looking for reassurance that going to the genius bar is the best thing to do (I've booked in for Saturday). I am also wondering if they replace it, will they give me a refurbished product instead of a brand new MacBook Air?
    Thanks ☺️

    You have a 14 day return policy if you purchased the MBA from Apple.  If your MBA meets that criteria, return it.
    Ciao.

  • Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Security Software included with the purchase of a new MacBook Air, OS X.

    Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Software included free with the purchase of a new MacBook Air OS X?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You mustn't. Apart from the fact that OS X doesn't need an antivirus (OS X has got its own security systems), commercial antiviruses like Kaspersky can do more harm than something good for your Mac. See > http://www.reedcorner.net/mmg
    If you want to install an antivirus, install Sophos or ClamXav

  • I want to transfer my purchases to my new MacBook Air.

    I just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am learning the basics and noticed that the Apps that I have downloaded and purchased on my iPhone (i no longer have an iPhone, I have a HTC One X) is not transferring through to my MacBook's App Store.
    Does this mean I will need to re-purchase those Apps that I have already purchased when I had my iPhone?
    To put this into detail:
    When I had my iPhone (6 months ago or so) I downloaded and purchased Pages (as well as hundreds of other Apps)
    Now that I am using a new MacBook Air, how will I be able to download Pages (as well as those other Apps that I purchased already) on the MacBook at no cost?
    I know that users can click the $19.99 << Button when purchasing a previously purchased item, and it will let the user know that they already purchased it in the past. But I am not willing to take the chance of having to re-pay the full price of all the Apps I loved and paid a heafty amount for, and then have to go through the tough "genuis" people at Apple.
    So please, whoever knows the answer, please leave a comfortable answer.
    Thank you

    Apps designed for iOS do not run on OS X....
    But... media files should still run if that's that you mean.

    Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing.  With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you really have a new MacBook, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand come with the Mac for free.
    As you see their price at the Mac App Store, it's clear that there's a problem with your MacBook. Simply return it if you purchased it less than 14 days ago and you will receive a new MacBook

  • My brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way.

    Hi my brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way. If I try to restart it or shut it down, it will go like it is starting up, but goes to a gray screen and stays there. I can see the mouse and move it, but it won't turn all the way on. What is wrong with it? It had been working fine since I got it, but today it hasn't been.

    You may have to see if troubleshooting this issue can help, though the instructions on a process of elimination by symptoms are tedious in the following support article, and are suggested to be performed ahead of trying the process described in the title.
    •Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    For the actual SMC reset, note subsection in above, instructions click-open on blue text:
    >Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    If the computer does not shut down, and just hangs there, try pressing the power button down for 15 seconds. Check the suggestions in the above article to see if any of them can be used, if the computer will power-up.
    There is another item that sometimes can help, but the main issue you say could be resolved by the SMC reset; this other thing is involved NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) so here's an article about it.
    •About NVRAM and PRAM:

    >Resetting NVRAM/PRAM opens in above, click-to-see instructions on how to reset.
    You may have to call ahead to the nearest Apple Store for an appointment to see a Genius; or at authorized reseller, their service product specialist who should be trained to understand how to proceed, just in case there is a hardware issue behind the symptoms. When you call, be sure to have the serial number and purchase date available, when you call an official store.
    Or use the 'Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support' to start the process...

    Hopefully this helps somewhat.

  • Internet slow on my brand new macbook air

    Hi my internet is very slow (almost unresponsive) when loading pages on my brand new macbook air. 
    The internet in my house is working fine.  I can still stream movies on other devices with no problems. 
    Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you
    -Sarah

    Have to say comparing this thread to many others that it isn't just the internet and wireless connection.  I'm just about ready to throw my new Macbook in the garbage as this has been an ongoing issue since I bought it.  And it's not the connectioon as anyone else coming in to our home is able to connect easily, Google TV runs just fine, the only device with issues is the MacBook.  The hours I waste waiting for pages to load or trying to reconnect are numerous.  Very dissappointed.
    While this thread had a happy outcome, most of the others are like my situation where the problem doesn't get resolved.  If the standard PCs and windows can work fine why doesn't a Mac.  I feel duped and dumped twice as much money into a device that doesn't work as good as the less expensives laptops with Windows.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?

    I thought I read that anyone who bought a new iDevice on or after Oct. 1, 2014 could get the iLife and iWork apps for free on their iDevice and the same Mac applications would be free for any Mac with the same iCloud account.  I purchased an iPad Air in January and got those apps for free on it, but when I bought a used Mac locally I can't get any of those apps for free?  If it is possible to get those iLife and iWork apps on my Mac that way please tell me.

    Didn't Apple say that those who bought a new iDevice after October 1, 2013 could also get iWork and iLife for free on Mac?
    No, they said if you bought a new iOS device on or after September 1, 2013, the iOS versions would be free. And if you purchased a new Mac on or after October 1, 2013, the Mac OS versions would be free. The Mac & iOS iWork & iLife apps are separate applications for two different operating systems. Unless you purchased a new Mac after October 1, 2013, you will have to purchase them for your used Mac.
