Macbook air 2010 crashing

Hi guys,
I have a 2010 model macbook air, and it is constantly crashing! I can be using the internet, photo editing software or waching a movie and I get the spinning beachball and have to reboot the machine. Once rebooted the problem will persist, usually crashing faster than the last time and keeps happening until I leave the mac for a while and can only do light tasks such as facebook, news etc. as anything heavier causes it to crash again.
It has already been in for a repair to apple a few weeks ago and they replaced the logic board citing fluctuating voltage to cpu. If that is the case then why is this still happening? When it was repaired before it got to the stage where it froze on the grey startup screen.
I have been through the basic ways of starting up in safe mode and resetting PRAM with no luck. I also cannot do software updates without it crashing
Can anyone offer any other advice?
many thanks
kyle

MacBook Air 2010 Very Slow (even after clean reinstall)

Hi,
Problem
The performance of my Macbook Air 2010 has slowed to the point where I can hardly complete basic tasks. For comparison, I use a MacBook Air 2013 at work and do not experience the same performance issues, so I believe my expectations are not unreasonably high.
My Question
Can you please advise on what I can do to troubleshoot? I've tried the solutions listed below, all of which have failed.
I'm grateful for any help you can offer.
Problem Description
Switching contexts or tabs, operating within applications (such as Chrome, small Excel spreadsheets, navigating files), and browsing the Internet has become a slow, laggy and crash-filled experience.
When right-clicking an icon and selecting 'Open With', Finder frequently times out or requires time to populate a list of applications.
Machine is slow to the point where, unless a solution presents itself, I'll have to get a new MacBook Air.
What I've Tried
'Religiously' close all applications after use; extremely conscientious of number of applications running and their resource requirements.
Clean reinstall of OS X.
Storing all media on external hard drive to create more storage space.
Clearing cache for all browsers regularly
Always running machine on battery power
Regular reboots
Machine Specs:
MacBook Air 13-inch, Late 2010
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
Processor: 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Storage: 87GB free of 250GB

Thanks, dominic23.
Unfortunately, it did not work.
-Tried starting in safe mode, resetting SMC, and repairing disk. Resetting the SMC helped upon reboot, but performance degraded swiftly and back at a low within 30-minutes.

Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

Upon receiving my 2012 MBA, I removed the inCase hard shell from my 2011 model and fitted it to my 2012 unit. The fit is identical. Dimensionally they are the same.
So, if you are asking do all of mine fit? Yes they do.

I have a MacBook Air 2010 I want to reset but don't have USB how can I do this

I Just purchased a MacBook Air 2010 but it did not come with USB drive to reset it can I do it without or where can I get one? It has10.6.8 on it Mac OS X it has old owners stuff on it.

From what little you say, it sounds like the computer's hard drive was partitioned as Master Boot Record and then formatted FAT or NTSF. You'll need to run Disk Utility and delete the partition and then click on the Option's button and select GUID. Then you'll be able to format the drive as HFS+ to install OS X.

Macbook Air (2010), Bluetooth 4.0?

I have a Macbook Air (2010) and upgraded to Lion OSX. I was checking my Bluetooth version and it lists it as 4.0 - more specifically: 4.0.1f4
Is this possible that my Macbook Air Second edition got an upgraded Bluetooth in the Lion Operating system?
Is this the same Bluetooth 4.0 as the iPhone 4s?
So many questions Appreciate any respeonses to the above!
Thanks!

That refers to the software release version. Everyone has the same software version under Lion.
Bluetooth 4 hardware was added beginning with the Mid 2011 model.
Regards,
Captfred

If this does not help, contact Apple.
Best.

Wipe macbook air 2010 to sell.

I am selling my daughter's MacBook Air 2010 and need to wipe it clean, de-identify it, or whatever needs to be done. I have another MS Office license I can reload on it afterwards, but I no longer have the any of the start up software/usb/manual etc. How do I do this, and will the operating system be lost?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

My late 2010 MacBook Air suddenly crashes and will not stay on.

I returned from a trip during which I used my MacBook Air (Late 2010) constantly. Upon leaving the hotel I closed the computer and put it into my carrier and did not open it until arriving at home later that day. There was moisture on the keyboard and screen at the corresponding position in an area about the size of a 50¢ piece, I cleaned that up and turned the machine on and it booted up and then created. Several times it would turn off and on a few times without any input from me. At times it will boot up like all is well but with any keystroke it crashes to a black screen. If I had to guess, I'd say the HD is toast. It was replaced under warranty once already. The moisture is a complete mystery. Any ideas?

What method were you using for travel? I think sometimes condensation can happen in flight. Sounds like there was more moisture on the motherboard as well. Leave it for a few days in the sunlight if possible and see what happens after that.

How do I pair my macbook air 2010 with apple tv 2

-

Sorry, that is not possible.
As you can see here, that MacBook Air is too old to use AirPlay Mirroring:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
You also cannot use an HDMI cable to "pair" your MacBook Air. The reason is your model has a mini-display port (that looks like a Thunderbolt port, but is not). Therefore, it cannot send audio to the Apple TV.

Mid 2011 Macbook Air constant crashing

Hello,
I am experiencing random kernel panics with my Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
I have taken the laptop in to an Apple store where it passed every single test and they could not find anything wrong with it.
However, there clearly is something wrong with it. There have been times where it hasn't kernel paniced for a couple of weeks, but then it starts back up again. I have pasted below the first panic of this evening, which was then followed by 7 more whilst restarting and after logging back in.
I am currently using the laptop in safe mode, I have not used it long enough to know if this stops the kernel panics or not, but it does seem more stable.
I am now unsure what I can now do from here. Apple cannot find anthing wrong with the laptop that I have only had for 18 months, but this is clearly not fit for purpose if it cannot run OSX without crashing, something is wrong.
Where can I go from here? I can't carry on using this laptop for work it's that bad.
Thank you for your time.

Hello Kappy,
I do not have anything plugged in to the laptop.
Booting into safe mode does seem more stable, but I am unable to use safe mode for prolonged periods of time to test it.
I have completely uninstall VirtualBox from my my machine since my previous post, and I am still getting kernel panics. Here is the most recent.

Macbook Air Random crashing

Hi Folks
I have been having some major issues with my Macbook Air (mid 2011, Yosemite 10.10.1, 1.6GHZ core i5, 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3)
It randomly crashes during use. Programs stop working and then the spinning beachball pops up for a few seconds before everything crashes and I have to power off/on
I did a number of system resets and reinstallation's and for a while now I have had it running generally ok except a few crashes here and there when I am using it a lot. Just had a few issues tonight and had 3 crashes in quick succession and also the ? folder pop up once.
For the first time though the system reported an error code and I have pasted it below. Has anyone seen this before or can anyone decipher what it means? I am no expert so it means very little to me. Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks

They are called kernel panics. Chrome would be a likely cause. But given the computer is new you should take it back while you are still within the 14 day grace period where you can have it replaced or get your money back, no questions asked. Don't waste time here. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Advice: How to speed up Macbook Air (2010)

Under Lion my 2010 (HDD) Macbook Air has been intolerably slow. It could take 10 minutes to start a program. When connecting to a projector, it could likewise take 10 minutes for it to resize windows during which it was unresponsive. I have been about to hurl it in the trashcan because this computer was just such an impediment to my work. But now I found the solution: don't run Safari. I had long suspected 2G ram combined with a slow HDD was the culprit. I tried to minimize the number of programs open, but let Safari run permanently. But it turns out Safari uses enormeous amounts of memory, and it has a tendency to just grow and grow its memory grab. Now, I quit Safari when I want to run other programs, and after this the computer is merely slow, not intollerably so. It is annoying to always have to quit Safari, but at least it makes the computer useful.
Any better suggestions than always quitting Safari?

The fact is that Mac OS X is good at of taking care of itself, if there are performance issues, there are a couple of things you can check:
Check your Login Items under System Preferences > Accounts to see what you have automatically launching.Also check /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Users/yourusername/Library/LaunchAgents/ for items launching at startup
Launch Activity Monitor and change "My Processes" at the top to "All Processes". Then see what may be consuming your OS X system resources.
Check the System Memory tab at the bottom of Activity Monitor to see if you have excessive "page outs", a sign that you may benefit from more RAM.
Check if you are running any poor Mac anti-virus programs as they may take large resources.
If you don't want to do these manually or the above checks still won't help, let the MacBook speed up tool http://www.speedupmacbook.com/ perform a health check of your Mac and fix relevant issues.
Best regards!
