Mac book air battery draining with Apple TV

hello, my MacBook air battery drains whilst using Apple tv even though I have the MacBook plugged into the power socket
Could you please let me know what may be the problem? When I'm not using Apple tv the battery is fine whilst plugged in.
thanks

That sounds very odd - potentially your MacBook Air battery may be old/failing and charging cannot keep pace with discharge to communicate with AppleTV but I'd find that a little odd if you get good battery life otherwise.
Do you have an AppleStore locally where you could arrange a Genius appointment to run some diagnostics on the battery?

    my mac book air turn on with grey apple icon and spining wheel. then it wont turn off.pls help

    Have exactly the same problem with my wife's MacBook Air. After restaring in Restore mode and trying to repair the disk (Disk Utility showed errors in the verification), the system tells me to backup as much data as possible (how?), re-format the disk and restore backed-up files. Error comes up when "updating boot support partitions for the volume as required".
    Original restart action was done due to software update requesting it, if I remember correctly, iTunes was updated.
    I don't want to start a painful back-up procedure (although I do regular back-ups): how should I know, where iPhoto stores it's data or where my mails are (yes, still using local mail)? How can I access the data if I can't boot?
    My iMac's disk crashed also a couple of months ago and I'm still recovering. I have four Apple devices, two of them have failed. Can Apple afford such a ratio?

  • Buy mac book air in us with portuguese keyboard

    Hi there!
    I'm a portuguese living in Cleveland and i want to buy a mac book air, but with a portuguese keyboard. I tried to buy it online, but there wasn't no option for a portuguese keyboard. I have a friend that contacted with the store in advance and they trade the keyboard when he bought it. But i don't know how i can contact directly the store where i want to buy it, or if i can do it somehow online. I ask this because the store is a little far away from my house, and i really prefer buying it online...
    Can someone help me please?
    Best regards,
    SM

    call 1-800-MY-APPLE.  You can not order a portuguese keyboard online in the US.  It is a special order that must be done via telephone.

  • How to access to my Mac Book Pro's iTunes with Apple TV?

    All right, I'm new on Mac. Just bought a Mac Book Pro, Time Capsule, iPhone 5 and Apple TV!
    I'm using my TC as an external HD, since I allready have everything backed up on another non-wifi HD.I've already imported some files from the TC to iTunes.
    When I go to iTunes on my Apple TV it says that "THERE ARE NO SONGS IN THIS LIBRARY". Do I need to link my Mac Book to Apple TV or something? Everything is connected to the same wifi network.
    Any help?
    Thanks!!

    Hi agustin.wvonb,
    Welcome to Apple!  I'm sure you are excited to learn about all of these great products. 
    A good place to start is our main support website
    Apple - Support
    http://www.apple.com/support/
    You'll find some great "getting started" videos and specific resources for each of our products.
    The first step is to decide if you want your iTunes library to be on your Macbook Pro, or on your Time Capsule.
    Then you can add music to your iTunes Library and access it via your Apple TV.
    The articles below will get you started with this:
    iTunes Support Page

  • Will mac book air run properly with photoshop when I use the Thunderbolt dispay?

    I would like to get a MB Air 13"; can I use Photoshop with it?  Will Thunderbolt Display work well with at?
    Thank you

    The answer is Yes and Yes. Unless you are editing huge files, Photoshop should run adequately on a MacBook Air.
    You can check it out at an Apple Store before you purchase, and see if it meets your expectations.
    Btw, you may want to consider the i7 version just for slightly better performance.

  • Mac Book  Air: battery replacement

    Hi, all,
    Being fussy and careful how I treat my Macs, I am wondering, at battery replacement time, if -
    1) one gets a new MBA?
    2) one's original pristine MBA?
    3) a refurbished, and perhaps not quite so pristine MBA?
    I am not at all keen on 3).
    Please advise. Tks.
    Keno

    be careful when you get one. I know someone who put in a http://www.ipodjuice.com/ battery and they no longer sell them. Didn't seem like they even had a replacement one in stock.

  • Does The Headphone Jack on the mac book air also work with microphone

    (MacBook Air) Does The headphone Jack work as a microphone jack like the MacBook Pro does

    The current MacBook Air uses a TRRS 3.5 mm mini jack, just like the iPhone. As long as the intended device (headphone/microphone) is compatible with this jack standard, you are fine.
    TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve)
    You can also buy adapters that will "split" the connections into separate Mic and speaker channels, for use with recording equipment using other jacks. Say, for instance you have a microphone that uses a 1/4" jack.
