I'm about to return this amazing Macbook air I'm so mad

I bought the 13inch Macbook air today, and the laptop is amazing! Theres just one tiny flaw but to me it's so massive. I bought this laptop for 2 things, Starting college, and light on the go gaming. And the problem is every time you left click on this macbook the cursor freezes for about half a second, which means you can't click fast and move your mouse at the same time. This is really crucial for all the games I play and it's driving me insane. I've never had this happen on any other trackpad. I've searched around in the settings and google for about 3 hours and nothing. I'm really close to returning this macbook which would be a shame because other than this the laptop is amazing. So for example if your on a macbook air (I don't know if it's the same on other macs) try clicking fast and moving the trackpad at the same time... As you can see the mouse stops every time you click. (And no an external mouse is not an option) Any fix to this would be so amazing I think my heads about to blow up lol

    OK. Now, you say you got this alert through App Store when trying to download Mavericks or after you downloaded it and were trying to install it? Which is the correct case?
    The error you are getting may sometimes occur when the computer has already been updated, but I don't know why you would be getting this message. I can only suggest that you take it in for service to find out why this is happening.

  • Question about purchasing LION for a MacBook Air

    I went to the app store to buy the newest OS X system, Lion, and it said that it would take up 3.49 GB. If I have a MacBook Air, won't that be MOST of my available hardrive? I have the 1.86 Ghz with upgraded 4GB. What should I do (I am not a technical person...do not know much about computer memory/space/RAM, etc.)

    Same model as mine It works great. Go for it. Common sense back up anything you don't want to lose - just in case. I had no issues at all.

  • I have never been able to open Quicktime attachments on my MacBook Air. I have made sure that Quicktime 7 and Quicktime 7 Pro are installed. Still no luck opening Quicktime MV files. I called Apple Support and they had no solution.

    Quicktime attachments marked MV will not open ion my MacBook Air. I have Quicktime 7 and Quicktime Pro installed. I caled Apple Tec support and they were unable to solve the problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Click on one of those files, then go to Get Info in Finder: select what application should open such files.

  • I'm about to return this iPhone

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on yesterday as required by my new iPhone 4.  The device is not recognized in "My Computer" or in iTunes.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked the connections, I've unplugged/replugged, I've upgraded the driver, I've restarted my PC more times than I can count...NOTHING works!!!  I have a desktop PC, running XP Home Service Pack 3.  I've already made sure that my virus protection (McAfee) is allowing full access to all Apple applications. I tried plugging in my iPod Touch and this device was not recognized either.  I did not have this problem with the Touch using iTunes version 9.0 but this version is not compatible with my new iPhone.   I was on the phone for 3 hours yesterday w/ various techs that could not solve my problem.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Make sure your plugged directly into a USB2 port and not a USB hub.
    Temporarily disable McAfee and any other security software.

  • I would like any tips about where to take my Macbook Air to solve an iMovie software I have been struggling with for quite a long time. I need to see a person who is willing to help me finalise a film, any tips welcome? Thanks

    Getting in person support

    Hi Klaus, I have tried to do that before - I think you replied before, asking me what system I was using. My response was 'Hello, thank you, I am using OS X Version Lion 10.7.5 and iMovie '11 vwesion 9.0.4 (1635).'
    Despite completely clearing my machine, and moving the movie project to an external drive, when I try to finalise the movie I get error -108 after approximately one hour of processing.
    I am very keen to be able to export this film. My technical knowledge is limited and I learned a basic level of iMovie to make the film - often online responses and suggestions are too complex for me - hence my question about where I would go to have an expert look at this problem...
    Any suggestions would be most welcome, thanks

  • Why does coconutBattery say that my Mac is already 7 months when in a fact I bought this 13" MacBook Air just last August 4?  This is somewhat disappointing.

    Read about coconutBattery from various blogs and forums.  I downloaded it and, lo and behold, read on the details that "Age of your Mac: 7 Months"!!!.  This is just 3 weeks old since I bought it, and just almost a month old since the new MBA refresh was released by Apple!  Did I get suckered by the 'Premium Reseller' or by Apple, or is coconutBattery not reliable? Disappointing!

    The age you currently get from this tool is wrong, maybe it will be fixed in a later version.
    You can determine the age of your MBA by having a look at the serial number. The fourth letter tells you the build year. The letter 'F' means first half of 2011, the letter 'G' stands for the second half of 2011. The fifth number or letter gives information about the week within this six months. Mine has a 'G' and a '6' meaning 6th week in the second half of 2011.
    To find out how to get the serial number have a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1941.

  • How do you watch an iMovie with this 11inch macbook air?!!?

    I have a research project for class and I made a short documentary on imovie... Now I know I can view it on my mac but how can i make dvds? or let alone present it to my class (i.e. dvd) my school does not use macs, so asking IT was useless. Basically my question is, how do you watch a movie created on imovie to a windows based computer??????..... it says the file is .m4v, i am not too sure if that helps. I know there are various cables out there, but college has enough hold on my money, something free would be awesome! I really would like to make a dvd, but i will settle for whatever now...

    You can play it using quicktime on a Windows computer - just be sure its installed and you're good to go.

  • What is apple doing about numb fingers using the trackpad on the new mid 2012 macbook air?

    What is apple doing with the trackpads on the mid 2012 MacBook Air, that creates numbness and pain in my fingers.

    You have no idea what you are talking about catperson. This topic happens to be on one of the
    Apple Support Cummunity conversation. It's called,
    Hands go Numb, tingle from trackpad-
    Do you even have a 2012 or newer laptop? If not, don't give advise as simple as go see a doctor. Will Apple be paying for my medical bills?
    Yesterday is the first time my finger got so painful I could no longer work on my project. I iced it to help numb the numbness, usally the pain subsides when I stay off my laptop for hours however when I start working on it the pain returns and you need your index and middle finger to work that laptop. This is the first time the pain had not gone away, 24 hours later. It feeIs like the tip of my middle finger has a giant splinter in it, very sore! I bought the first edition Macbook Air laptop 4 years ago and never had this problem with my index and middle finger, until I started working on my new Air.
    Look at how many people are having the same problem. It can not be a coencidence.  This problem has cost me the use of my finger and the high expense for this new MacBook Air. I'm going to my apple store tomorrow and show them how many people have this problem with numbness. I think this problem goes way beyond giving me a refund for this computer.
    Any thoughts after reading other people having the same painful experience?
    So What is Apple going to do with the new MacBook Air trackpad that creates numbness in your fingers?
    PS: I know the trackpad is made of glass, so I covered my trackpad with a clear cover they sell to put on iphones however that did not slove anything.

  • I Bought the MacBook Air...  and returned it, and returned it again, etc...

    Thank you for everyones help here in helping make my decision on buying the MacBook Air. I decided to buy one. So the story goes I ended up buying and returning 3 different MacBook Air with the SSD because they all had the grey lines. Very frustrating to say the least. After I returned the last one I happened to be visiting Best Buy the same day. They had a MacBook Air HDD version on display. This particular one had no lines and looked very nice. As a side note, the lines are a deal breaker for anyone wondering. I use Word and Pages a lot, and the grey lines are an easy distraction against the white background.
    I ended up looking at the serial number and display manufacturer information on the MacBook Air that was on display at BestBuy. The panel number was 00009C8F and the serial number indicated it had been built in week 53 of 2008. Fortunately the lock up cage for the MacBook Air was right beneath the table the computer was displayed on. They had a brand new one in stock with the same build week, but it was a HDD version. I had already made my mind up that I was buying the MacBook Air with SSD, but after the experience at the Apple Store (buying and returning 3 different ones) I was going to try the on-line store. I thought what the heck do I have to lose. I bought it! I got it home powered it on, and the screen had no grey lines! YAHOO! In addition, after using the HDD version for a couple hours I think I saved myself $700. I could not tell the difference in speed (except in cold boot times, marginally) between the SSD and the HDD.
    In conclusion, I wonder if the SSD has something to do with the grey lines. It is more of a conspiracy theory at this point, but I got my MBA without grey lines and I am happy! Thanks for everyones help in provide buying information.

    Hi Soft Reset,
    I do agree with you that it is not hardware related to the hard drive type. I just could not believe that I could not find an SSD without problems. Like I stated though, I was pleasenty surprised by the performance of the HDD version. In the end I think I saved $700, but to reiterate, I am just using office, internet, and e-mail. Therefore the SSD is really not a neccessity. If they come out with a REV C and a bump in SSD sizes, I will probably sucomb to upgrading. Thanks again!

  • Audio too loud on my MacBook Air!

    So, I just purchased my MacBook Air from Best Buy (as an Open Item since there was an awesome markdown plus coupon markdown on top of that, and 18 months financing is pretty cool too).  My problem is that the sound is extremely loud on this system, especially when I have headphones plugged in.  I have the master volume at the 4-5 level (out of 16, mind you), and headphones can only be set on 1 (or if using the gradual shift with Shift+Option+Vol Up/Down it would be more like .5).  If I have it set to full volume, the speakers are blaring (and I'm sure I'd be permanently deaf if I tried that with headphones on).  This is my first Apple laptop, and I don't have this issue with my iMac (but I've got a pretty decent set of external speakers hooked up to that, so if there is an issue I don't notice it). 
    I tried fiddling with the sound in the System Preferences, but all I have access to is the Alert Volume slider and the Output Volume slider (which I found is the same as using the volume hot keys).  And for the Output preferences tab, I can select the headphones, but all it gives me is a balance slider, no individual volume control for them.
    I've been googling and searching this issue in this Support Forum, but most of what I'm finding is about the system having the opposite problem (extremely low audio), and the few that seem to have the same problem as I do aren't really getting a definitive answer.  I thought I saw one where somebody had this problem and took it into an Apple store, where they popped the laptop open and noticed that something wasn't hooked up correctly (wires hooked up wrong, or something like that).  But I can't find that particular thread anymore, so I'm a bit uncertain on that - anybody know where that thread is and can I have a link?
    I'm wondering if this particular MacBook Air was returned because of this sound issue.  Should I take my MacBook Air in to get it looked at?   And if so, should I just go into a full Apple store rather than the Geek Squad (which is more PC oriented)? I did purchase a Geek Squad Black Tie plan, mostly for the accidental coverage.  (I'm a klutz).

    I think I might have figured out why the volume is bothering me. 
    On my iMac, I have a decent set of Creative external speakers hooked up and it has an external volume/bass controler w/ headphone jack.  I've set up the volume on the speakers to a comfortable level, and use the iMac internal sound control to do minor editing - which is normally set around 11 out of the 16 "notches" and that way I can increase/decrease w/o fiddling with my Creative volume control. 
    But when I unplug those speakers out of my iMac, I end up with the insane volume that I'm not used to (I jumped when the sound played and had to mute it.  XD  I think I should start video logging my troubleshooting for the lulz.)  I also figured out that the system remembers the sound levels when you plug/unplug headphones/external speakers.  Very handy.  :3
    So, I'm just used to having a fine tuned control over my sound, and when I started playing on my MBAir, I thought something was wrong.  I'm probably just going to go get myself a really good set of headphones that have a volume control on them so I can get the same results I get from my iMac. 
    Thanks for the help!  <3  I'll let y'all know if I run into anymore problems!

  • Phenomenal new MacBook Air! WOW!

    I have just received my new MacBook Air 13-inch, and I have written this post to let you know that it is truly amazing.
    My heart belongs to the MacBook Pro line, but I just love the Air for short travel.
    I have maxed out the specs, which I strongly recommend. It is lightening fast!
    I had been really worried about having over 150 GB transferred from my MacBook Pro, as I have always loved FireWire target disk mode, but transferring via the USB Ethernet adapter is impressive. What had taken a little over an hour via FireWire target disk mode had taken me just over three hours via Ethernet.
    I do not want to do that everyday, but I am quite happy.
    The speed just rocks!
    I had purchased the original MacBook Air only to mothball it a few months later. This new MacBook Air works for me very well.
    I still do not trust flash/SSD storage, but I am willing to get my feet wet with the new Air.
    Anyway, it does not seem that there are differences between the new and old MacBook Air power cords. Is it safe to use a first generation MacBook Air power cord with the new model? One can do this with MacBook Pros, but I just want to make sure.
    Thank you!

    you can also use any macbook pro power cord with the Air.

  • Would you buy a MacBook Air today?

    So all these darn rumors about early 2012 or a macbook air refresh, would you buy today or wait? I was going to buy one this week, but now i'm hearing early 2012 new air's...that could mean january, or that could mean april. Just need some friendly advice!

    Ok, just an update
    Ordered on Dec. 6th, air arrived dec. 7th! I was not home but UPS left it on my doorstep. Kind of concerning since anyone could have just snatched it. Anyways, got home, set it up, screen is amazing! Speed is quick, cant be happier. Glad I went with the 13", perfect size for travel, not too big, not too small. Thanks for all the posts in helping me make my decision.

  • Macbook Air Battery Blow Up

    Hi every one,
    I have a really big problema with my macbook air. A few months ago, my computer has started going more and more slowly. But for about one month ago, the Macbook Air stopped working and i saw wich began to inflate.  After a while, the Macbook Air started to inflate so much and i take the cover back and remove that, and i saw the problem was the battery, wich was very inflated.
    I'm from Mexico, and i went to one of the oficial resellers ( we not have a physical apple stores), and they said no had plans to replace this equipment. So, i decided to post my problem to see if anyone what should this issue, because i think that this this behavior is not normal.
    My macbook air specs are,
    Model:           MacBook Air
    Codename:       M82
    Model ID:       MacBookAir 1,1
    Order Nr.:       (MB003LL/A)
    Processor speed:  1.6 GHz
    Processor Type:   Intel, Core 2 Duo (Merom)
    Have a good day!

    Hi,
    I have the same problem before. My MacBook Air also blew up but not that much. I didn't use it for a while and eventually it returned to normal. However I can't use it anymore without plugging it to a power outlet and the battery status indicator says "not charging".
    I think what cause the battery to blow up was overcharging.
