Mac book Air 2011 Serious Problem!!!!!

I bought Mac Book Air 2011 last week in Apple Store of Australia, but I found when I visit internet at home through WIFI , it is so slow and often dropping, I often cannot open any website but other laptop(Windows System) worked fine and fast!!!
I searched website to find solutions and I found too many people have same problem!!! Sometime I even suspect Air hardware or design have problem!!
This is my first Apple product, I heard someone said Apple is an excellent product but I am so disappointed it at the moment!!!!!! Is there anyone can help me.........PLEASE.........!!!!!!!!!!
My laptop info:
Mac Book Air 2011, 13inches i5
OS X Lion 10.7.1

I just bought the same machine you did last week - also in Oz.
As you noted, I also had issues with slow WiFi as I started using the machine. However, I upgraded to Lion 10.7.1 and have not had any noticable problems since. I did not try some of the other fixes that are suggested so I don't know if they help.

Mac Book Air with Lion problems with images?

Since Lion was installed, does Mac Book Air show problems with moving images, as videos and Skype?

In these forums one does not speculate about the future of Apple products.

Mac Book Air (11") Partition Problems

I am using a mac book air (first generation) with a windows partition (30GB mac, 90GB Windows approximately). When I decided to switch back to mac I went to the disk utility and deleted the windows partition. But when I tried to resize the 30GB mac partition (OS extended journal) it simply doesn't increase and now my entire disk appears to have a 30GB size. (I did not use book camp to delete the partition and now it is not possible). How can I resize to the original 120 GB preferably (but not necessarily) losing files and applications of mac system?

Buy MacBook Air 11.6-inch, MId 2014, with 1.4 GHz dual core i5 processor.
Model number may be same. But Mid 2013 model had 1.3GHz dual core i5 CPU.
If possible, upgrade memory to 8GB RAM.
Best.

The screen on my mac book air 2011 goes dull when it shouldn't be. Any tips?

Screen on macbook air 2011 goes quite dull even when I'm operating it. It is as if the machine is going to sleep although it shouldn't be doing so.
It is a little slow to rouse from this dulled state.
Unplugging and re-plugging power socket appears to remedy this problem But it shouldn't really be happening should it? Any ideas?

Does it hapen when your rest your fingers on the trackpad? If so it can be a state of zoom....
Try different trckpad settings (Apple, system settings, trachpad)
Hope that helps

Ask about the time delivery for Mac Book Air 2011

Hi, I am the new Apple user and from Australia. I ordered Mac Air yesterday, and it stated that my item will be posted to my home by 11/08/2011. But today, a new email sent from "order acknowledgment" department, the time for delivery change to 17/08/2011. Anyone suggest me what can I do now, as I would like the item will come to my door sooner. Who can I contact with for priority ? (anyone was the same boat or not?)

Hi, give Apple a call only they will be able to advise. I do no they have had a large quantity of orders so it may be harder to get them delivered faster now.

Mac book air net connection problem

My MacBook Air has stopped connecting to the net. It is fine with retrieving emails. What is going on?

It could be a lot of things. But try clicking on AirPort radar symbol on your top right toolbar and troubleshoot from there. Next, I would check your Internet preferences under your browser pull down menu. You can also try to reset your modem.

HELP! Mac Book air Hard Drive problems

Hi all, I am new to this. My Macbook air would not switch on, took it to apple store Buchanan Street Glasgow, who told me I needed a new hard drive, which I paid them 120 pounds for the pleasure. when i asked how i would get my files, photos and itunes from my old hard drive, i was told i had to get an enclosure from a computer shop. I am amazed this is something apple could not do for me. Went to Maplan, PC World and just about every other computer store in Glasgow and no-one seems to be able to help, i need my files from old hard drive, can anyone help? I have looked on-line but i dont have a clue.
Thanks.
Steven.

The enclosure you need will vary based on which revision MBA you have. If you have a Rev A MBA you need a 1.8 PATA ZIF enclosure which can be found here (in the States):
http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80000CFD-1265298493
If you have a Rev B or C MBA then you need a 1.8” SATA II LIF enclosure which can be found here (again, in the USA):
http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80000D7A-1270043844
I found these by searching on "1.8” SATA II LIF" or "1.8 PATA ZIF" while I was upgrading my MBA's 80 GB HD to an SSD.
Hope this helps!

UPDATING post above.
Excel slowing down is particularly when I do "copy" or "paste" (up to 3 seconds before the action is taken into account).
I tried with empty or very small files, problem is the same.
I checked autoupdates of Microsoft, everything is up to date.
I made the test of David Linc, with no issue.
Anyone having same situation or solution ?
Thank you

Mac Book Air giving some trouble downloading mail through Outlook 2011

Hi,
I recently purchased a Mac Book Air and installed Microsoft Office 2011. I have no issues with any of the programs except Outlook. Receiving messages has been a pain and it only works sometimes (every couple days). Sending messages has worked out but when i do receive messages i receive a bulk of messages at a one time (Usually 2-3 days worth of messages). I don't know if this is a problem with either the computer, the program or maybe even my internet connection.
Can someone help ASAP?
Thank you
Anya

If I remember correctly, there is an option to select the interval and also whether it is automatic check for new messages....

Mac Book Air shuts down completely if I close the cover and leave for hours. Message: you shut down your computer because of a problem. Any thoughts what is happening?

Mac Book Air shuts down completely if I close the cover and leave email running. Is n't it supposed to just sleep and awaken whe the cover is reopened? Instead, I have to boot it. Any idea what the problem is? I am unaware of any problem, just close the cover for safety.

Well I don't know anyone that closes the cove and leaves it for Hours... But try going to System Prefrences > Energy Saving > Uncheck Put Hard Disk to Sleep.

Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

I have a 2nd gen Mac book air with Lion. The hard disk has filled up even though i keep my data , music etc on hard drive . I used disk inspector to find where problem was and it is 20GB in the hidden files under the user directory can i resolve this ?

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.
