Is the apple light on my macbook air supposed to pulse when it's sleeping? It doesn't seem to be doing that...

I read online that the apple light on the lid of a mac is supposed to "pulse" to the rythm of human breathing when it's in sleep mode, but mine isn't doing that. Should it be pulsing?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When your Mac is in sleep or turned off, the Apple light is turned off. That's because it uses the light of the display and the display is turned off

  • Can not locate the airplay icon on my macbook air

    Hello
    I recently bought apple tv. As far i am very happy with it, but i am having annoying issue with the apple tv and my macbook air. The macbook can not seem to be able to stream any content to it, no matter what settings i change. It just seem to be missing completely the airplay option. I am running the latest OS X Yosemite update. Any ideas how i can solve this?

    Hello PWGltd,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to use AirPlay between a Mac and an Apple TV, your Mac needs to be one of the following:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

  • Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port.

    Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port...
    Someone told me just to remove the chip in clicking it to the trash can and voilá - it would be done. But as I did so, on the screen appeared a text which let me know, that that way had been the wrong one...
    I should have clicked Finder plus something.... which I do not now remember but which was then not found behind the Finder.
    So please would someone be so kind and tell me, where I can find explanations for the most simple functions. The manual I got does not include a clue.
    Thank you!

    First make sure that no application is using or has open any files on the disk. Then:
    Click and drag the disk icon on the desktop to the trash. Wait for the system to recognize the action, and the icon should disappear from the desktop. It is then safe to remove the device.
    Alternatively, you can secondary click on the disk icon, and then primary click "Eject (name of disk)". Wait for the icon to disappear off the desktop, and then it is safe to remove the drive.
    Here is a detailed help document on the subject.

  • What is the official Apple error number if the airport hardware on a macbook air doesn't work?

    What is the official Apple erro number if the airport hardware on a MacBook Air doesn't work?

    Welcome to the  Discussions
    Actually that is not enough information.
    Was this to an AIM on PC Buddy ?
    If so which version were they using ?
    Was it to a Tiger Buddy on iChat ?
    The log says it was one on the other and not a Leopard Buddy as there SIP port is listed as port 5061.
    Also what routing devices are you using ?
    Makes Models and version numbers please.
    Which ports do you have open ?
    What method did you use ?
    In fact read this FAQ even though it was written at the time Tiger came out

  • Apple tv, airport express, macbook air, and iphone 4, will support audio streaming directly from every equipment to the powered speakers?

    I'm trying to connect my Apple tv to airport express to stream the audio, will be posible? the same thing with my iphone? I have tried with my MacBook and works perfect!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your MacBook works with your express because it supports AirTunes. Your Apple TV and your iPhone do not support AirTunes and will therefore not work with your express.

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.

    If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.

  • How do i remove the "other" storage on my MacBook Air.

  • Why is the time different on my Macbook Air and my iPhone?

    Hi All,
    For some reason the time on my iPhone is consistently 7 minutes behind the time displayed on my Macbook Air (Mavericks). Both devices are set to display the time automatically according to my time zone. After checking time.org, it looks like my phone has the correct time. There must be a logical reason why this is happening and some kind of solution, no?
    Thanks for any advice.

    On your iPhone ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then tap Settings > General > Date & Time
    Switch:  Set Automatically ON
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working.

    The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working. The camera is non available in settings also. Please help.

    Check if it is a hardware issue. If it is take the MBA to an Apple dealer.
    Apple menu / About the Mac / More Info / System Report.
    On the left, under Hardware, click on USB. The right side will show the USB Device Tree. Check to verify the camera is listed. Should be called Built-in iSight. If it is not listed, take the computer in for a full diagnosis.
    If the camera is listed, click on Launch Pad then click on Photo Booth. Do you see anything?
