MacBook Air 13" (latest generation) case/sleeve recommendations

I wanted to get some thoughts on a case/sleeve for a MacBook Air. Please let me know what you have and your thoughts on the product. Thanks!

Hey Guys (& Ladies),
Try http://www.theknittingswede.co.uk/myshop/cat_457292-Knitted-Sleeves-Covers.html for a different take on covers for the macs portables (and other makes - may the Gods of Mac-dom forgive me).
All are handmade to order from natural products. My colleagues and friends love them, and they are just a bit different from the run of the mill store ones.
Hope this helps.

  • Erratic battery behaviour on Macbook air since latest update

    My Macbook Air 11.1 is from 2011, and the battery started going bad last year. I ordered and placed a new battery in january. This worked perfectly, no problems whatsoever. This morning, I installed the latest available Apple update (unsure which one, can't find it). After that, my battery has been behaving strangely. This is what happened:
    - I unplugged my laptop at one point, and moved it from my bed to desk. I went to my kitchen, returned, and the laptop had turned off.
    - I put the charger in and turned it back on. I realised the battery info said the battery isn't charging and 'replace now'. Surprised, since I just got the battery this january.
    - All of a sudden, the icon changed to white (it's black when not charging) and it was charging again.
    - This kept happening, on and off.
    - Unplugging the charger results in shutting of immediately or within a few seconds. At this moment, it's charging (at 97%). But it can change any minute.
    - I tried moving my laptop around a bit, tilting it up and down, but that doesn't seem to do anything (neither good or bad).
    I looked on the internet for a few solutions:
    - Resetting PRAM: no differene
    - Resetting SMC: no difference
    - Reinstalling Yosemite completely (do you recommend this? In any specific order?)
    Does anyone know what is best to try? I can also open up my laptop again and check the battery, but I doubt that's the problem. Btw, third party apps like battery diag/battery health/coconut battery all make no mention of the battery needing to be replaced.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm emigrating to Serbia next week, so I hope to fix it before then
    I included an Etrecheck report:

    Hi Dominic,
    Thank you for your help! I did all three things and run etrecheck again. It now shows the following, different things seem to be failing now? Like Kerberos?

  • Does the Macbook Air need a protective case to avoid scratches?

    Hi.. My husband gave me a MacBook Air 11" for Christmas. I would like to ask if there is a need to put a protective case over it to avoid scratches. Also read reviews from MBA owners that putting a protective case makes the MBA heat up faster. I'm planning to get the iGlaze Moshi and considering its quite pricey, I would like your advice if there is really a need to have a protective case. Thanks!

    Hi Calcarballo.
    Many thanks for your question.
    As a user of a 2013 MacBook Air I have used Specks Shell for my MacBook Air and I cannot see a difference in heat. I bought the Speck 13" SmartShell Case for the MacBook Air and personally I am happy. It keeps the font screen clean from dirt and minor scratches and the bottom safe and clean. Personally, the Shell cases will not be a massive benefit if you throw your MacBook Air around but it does add a layer of protection.
    Highlights of the Specks Case include:
    Durable, ultra-thin hard shell protects from scratches and scuffs
    Sleek, glossy two-piece design is easy to put on and take off
    Anti-tilt rubberized feet keep your MacBook stable and secure
    The website for the SmartShell is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD623ZM/A/speck-11-smartshell-case-for-macbook -air?fnode=50&fs=f%3D11inchmacbookair%26fh%3D36c2%252B2c0a
    If you were looking for supreme protection, I would look at a Thule 11" Gauntlet Envelope Case. I have this case for the MacBook Air 2013 13" and it is way more protective, it is an envelope that is tapered to provide a perfect fit and safeguards your MacBook Air.
    Highlights of this envelope include:
    Tapered shape provides a precise fit for MacBook Air
    Stitch-free, heat-welded seams
    Semi-rigid EVA foam construction creates a glove-like fit and the padded protection of a sleeve
    Nylex-lined interior lets MacBook easily slide in and out, preventing scratches
    The website for the envelope is here: http://store.apple.com/au/product/H9933ZM/A/thule-11-gauntlet-envelope-case-for- macbook-air
    Basically the choice is yours. The Protective case - the iGlaze Moshi and Speck's SmartShell will provide some protection against scratches and scruffs, but will not save your MacBook on big drops therefore do not utilise these SmartCases as an excuse to make sure your MacBook is safe. Your envelope will provide more protection but it is not as practical as the SmartCase.
    The Choice is yours!
    Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

  • No video mirroring AppleTV ver 2 or 3 from new Macbook Air (very latest)

    I have both a 2nd gen and 3rd gen apple TV and a brand new Macbook Air with Mountain Lion plus all updates installed on all devices. I can see both Apple TVs in myAirplay menu and can select either one. In both cases the sound works but the TV video goes blank and then later returns to the screensaver while the sound continues to stream. I have tried every possible resolution setting and nothing seems to work. The Apple TVs have hardwired ethernet and the Macbook Air is using wireless through my Airport Extreme (less than six months old).
    Any ideas on what the problem is or how to resolve?

    I'm in a similar boat to you, wondering whether I should replace my 2006 MBP 2.4 C2D 4Gb/160Gb with the top spec 13" MBA, or wait unti the next MBP refresh at the end of the year / begining of 2012.
    FWIW, I think for your needs a MBA would probably do the job quite admirably... it should be able to handle rippng and Handbrake with no problems (faster than your current set up, but not as fast as a MBP).
    I guess the real test is how well it can handle HD editing. I'm sure it will be fine for the occasional use, but then again a MBP would be better.
    Personally though, I think you'd probably get more use and life out of a MBP. Mine is still going strong and it is more than adequate for my daily uses, but it's time for a change anyway.

  • WT-310 - need slip case /sleeve recommendations

    When I bought the WT310-106 I picked up the Toshiba branded slip case for it as well.
    Unfortunately whilst the slipcase looks good and is well made, the design is poor.
    It doesn't fit properly, height wise there's an inch and a half too much room so it moves. The sides only have a couple of inches of elastic in the top half, so the bottom half of each side is open.
    This means the bottom corners of the tablet aren't protected properly and the tablet can twist in the case. Consequently the bottom corners of the case are squashed in now. The other annoyance is that putting a pen in the provided loop pushes the tablet askew. Very poor design.
    I recently popped into PC World to see what they had in and was surprised by how few of the 11.6" laptop cases fit the 310 (one!).
    So does anyone have a recommendation for a slip case that fits the WT310, holds the it in place, protects the corners, has hard protection for the screen and soft protection for shocks as well as a pocket/loop/space for a pen?
    It'll be carried in a messenger bag with other junk so needs to be pretty robust but not waterproof, I use it at work so no Ganja leaves etc.
    Cheers Chaps

    Hi
    the Toshiba sleeve measures 1,6 x 22,6 x 20,7 cm and its made for 11.8 as well as 11.6 displays.
    I guess an3rd party sleeve made for 11.6 displays should be compatible with the TOSHIBA tablet too.
    So I would recommend you to search for 11.6 sleeves: for example I found good offer in internet: Supremery leather sleeve

  • Moving from my Macbook 4.1 to a 13" Macbook Air: I need a quality sleeve!

    Hi Guys
    As title really.
    I've had my 4.1 since 2008 and it has been a pleasure. It will now be handed down to my son William who is 9. He is an Apple Geek too!
    So, my MBA 13" arrives next week and I am honoured to be owning such a work of art and also a first class piece of technology.
    To this end I need a sleeve which will suffice.
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Anybody?

  • Can u give me a list of recent games that my Macbook Air 13" (3rd Generation) can run?

    I know this is a awkward question to ask since Air is not suitably made for gaming. However, I can't find a suitable list of games that my device can play. My possessings are listed below.
    1. CPU: 1.8 GHz intel core i5
    2. RAM: 4 GB, DDR 3, 1600 MHZ
    3. INTEL HD GRAPHICS 4000 1024MB
    4. OSX 10.9.2

    Search the App Store and/or Google for them.

  • Why photoshop cs6 is completely lagging on my macbook air 11' latest model

    As of about two weeks ago, photoshop cs6 started to really lag. It is practically impossible to do anything. My laptop is 3 months old, and i barely have any documents on my desktop. I have no idea why its lagging. I've tried a few different things, nothing seems to help. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes like station_two said, it all depends on your specs.
    Have you tried adjusting the VRAM? Have you put drawing mode to basic? You could try lower your cache levels and adjust the memory use.
    And just to be sure ... you don't happen to have a huge file open at let's say 10% scale? (giving the impression of a normal sized file).

  • I have numerous documents in PAGES2009 which I cannot open on my new Macbook Air with latest iWork programs.  Is there a "fix" or do I need to buy iWork 2009 (or at least PAGES2009) to be able to open my old documents?

    Can current PAGES be used to open documents created in PAGES2009?

    Yes with some caveats, but probably your documents are actually Pages '08 format which Pages 5.2 can not open.
    You need to open them in Pages '09 or export them from Pages '08 to Word .doc/docx.
    If you had iWork '09 before are you sure you don't still have it in your Applications/iWork folder?
    You are aware that Pages 5.2 is a lobotomised version, missing over 110 features?

  • Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hi
    this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
    I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
    its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
    closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
    then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
    restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
    it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
    I tried the following:
    reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
    Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
    doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
    using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
    it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
    I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
    please help
    Eido

    If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

  • Why won't my Macbook Air charge?

    My Macbook Air (late 2010) stopped charging and recommended a battery replacement. After replacing the battery with one purchased off of ebay, the computer still turns on when plugged in, but it will not charge. A very faint light is shown on the magsafe. I'm wondering if the problem is with the new battery or if there is another issue internally. Any diagnostic advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    its easy to consider there is a a problem with things when you stick your head in an emergency room, which is what these boards are.
    which is a false statistical sampling, and more still a sample from the wrong place.
    All batteries produced for Apple contain microprocessor chips for SMC communication.

  • Yoga 2 Pro Case/Sleeve Options

    What cases or sleeves are people using? I'm considering the slot in case, but I don't mind the keyboard being face out/down in other modes, and I wanted to see if there was a good case that would cover all 4 edges/corners of the laptop. I guess I'm more concerned about bump/drop protection and the slot in case is a little lacking there or so it looks like from the picture. Here's a link to the slot in case if you haven't seen it:http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/888015541/460/E003FD3CD8BA4B7AA9B6825A0E519746  As for other cases, the Y2P is pretty close in dimensions to the Macbook Air, so hopefully some of those sleeves will fit:Y2P: 12.99" x 8.66" x 0.61"MBA: 12.8" x 8.94" x 0.68" Some of the options I'm looking at (browsing on Amazon, plus searched all amazon reviews for "yoga 2 pro"):http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-SSMA-313-13-3-Inch-Ultrabooks/product-reviews/B006P88UQW (might go check this one in store out at Fry's)http://www.amazon.com/Snugg-MacBook-13-inch-Retina-Leather/dp/B00DN6TSVA One commenter said: So I got the 15" version earlier, and I loved it. So I thought I'd get the 13" version for my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, because the dimension is very close to MacBook Air. Sure enough, the sleeve fits *almost* perfectly. It's a little tight, but that's fine for now, since I'm sure it'll get loose as time goes by. The only quibble with this 13" inch version is the fact that it does NOT have the same cutout for charging the laptop while it's in sleeve. I'm not sure whether it's just a defect on the sleeve that I received, or it's just how it is designed, with no cut-out for charging.http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Neoprene-13-13-3-Notebook-Computer/dp/B00CHIQ5Q6/ One commenter said: My wife got it for her new yoga 2 pro. It fits well. The interior has a cushion that protects the laptop exterior.  Second one seems promising to me, since I'd like to avoid the zipper in the third.

    So I decided against a case with a zipper and went with the Snugg case based on the customer view saying it fit though it was tight. Well it's way too tight. It takes me a minute to work the laptop out which is too much even for the break in period. I still want a sleeve without a zipper and with a flap over the top, so the Waterfield sleeve is tempting, but it's a little pricier than I wanted. $65 + 2 shipping for the Sleeve with flap.http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases-mac.php  An option I should have looked at first is a Timbuk2 Custom Sleeve. I already have a Timbuk2 Messenger bag, and it's only $40+5 shipping and you can pick colors:http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/customizer#!/product/11-custom-envelope-laptop-sleeve/size/2/customizeThe problem is that there is over an inch of room in both dimensions. It fits up to 14"x10.2" Anyone have any other suggestions or just info on what you are using? Edit: Some other options I stumbled onto (don't know if these will all fit):http://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Laptop-Cases/Sleeve/PA1523U-1UC3Targus ultrabook sleeveCaselogic Sleeve

  • MacBook Air How do you configure a printer?

    We have used iPrint on our old fully patched (including iprntnw65sp8f.zip) server for years. Win2k/XP/7 clients, both secured and unsecured printing with only 2 printers. I have used IE to upload printer drivers for Windows clients, but cannot for the life of me work out how you go about setting up a printer for a MacBook Air (with latest OS X version), I've never even used a Mac before yesterday.
    I have managed to get the iPrint client installed (v5.76) but there are no drivers installed on the server so I can't install any printers.
    I can't log in to iManager from the MAC as the browser (chrome) isn't supported so I can't upload the drivers (I have managed to get the drivers installed manually on the Mac from the internet).
    I have turned off Sandboxing in CUPS after reading in another thread about it causing issues in the latest OSX version.
    I've tried manually adding a printer (address: our IP address, protocol: Internet Printing Protocol - IPP, Queue: /ipp/Ricoh) which seems to talk to the server for something as it fills in the Location field but printing just hangs.
    I only have one Mac, all I need to do is install iPrint (think this is done) point it to an existing printer and link it to an already installed local driver, can anyone guide me through it? Mac specifics in the docs all I could find was installing the iprint client, nothing about setting up printers. I've even tried uploading a ppd to the server using iprntcmd -u but that fails as well.
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    How much HD space should I partition for Windows vs.
    Mac? I want to only run Office apps in Windows and
    everything else (e-mail, internet, file management)
    from the Mac.
    I would say 10GB minimum.
    Should I partition the Windows HD as FAT32 or NTFS?
    Either Windows XP can be installed on wither a FAT32 or an NTFS partition.
    However FAT32 has the advantage that the Mac will be able to read/write to the partition.
    With NTFS the Mac will only be able to read the partition.
    Note that when booted into Windows it won't be able to read or write the Mac partition unless it has installed MacDrive or similar.
    Can I open an Office app from an e-mail attachment
    from the Mac side without having Office Mac (i.e. do
    I need two versions of Office -- Office Mac and
    Windows Office)?
    You would need to boot into Windows to open certain Office files using Office for Windows or use the methods already mentioned.
    Two versions of Office might be an option.
    Another thing you may want to consider rather than use Boot Camp is to use Parallels
