MacBook Air battery not functioning after upgrade to Yosemite

My MacBook Air battery did not take over after the upgrade I powered off the adapter and it just died. So I had to use the power adapter to power it back on, something is wrong with the battery after the upgrade, as it was working perfectly days before on battery.

Is one of the 'etc.' a SMC reset?

Macbook air cannot shut down after upgrading to yosemite

Hi all,
I have a problem from my macbook air purchased at 2012 and current version is Yosemite 10.10.
I upgraded my mac to Yosemite in Oct and it starts not able to restart or shut down. I try to update the software as I see in the App Store and I once again not able to restart. The only way I can do is shut down it manually by pressing the Power button and the software is not yet updated despite it restarted again.
Can anyone teach me how to handle this issue? as it is driving me crazy!!!

Hi beekatt,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below will offer some suggestions if your battery is draining quickly. Have you tried shutting the computer down to see if you get different results?
OS X Yosemite: If your battery runs out of charge quickly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18599?viewlocale=en_US
If your battery on your portable Mac runs out of charge more quickly than you expected, check your battery’s condition.
Hold down the Option key and click the battery icon in the menu bar of your Mac.
You will see one of the following conditions:
Normal: The battery is functioning normally.
Replace Soon: The battery is functioning normally but holds less charge than it did when it was new.
Replace Now: The battery is functioning normally but holds significantly less charge than it could when it was new. You can continue to use your battery until you replace it without harming your Mac.
Service Battery: Your battery is not functioning normally, and you should have your Mac serviced.
Monitor your portable computer’s battery
If your battery won’t charge completely
If your battery’s status is Not Charging
If an X appears on the battery icon in the menu bar
I hope this information helps ....

Internal microphone in MacBook Pro 15" not working after upgrade to Yosemite

Hello
This issue is similar to iMac's problem with the internal microphone not working in FaceTime. In sound preferences, I have the internal microphone set for input. In FacetTme, I have Video->Microphone->Internal Microphone selected. There is no corresponding menu item for Audio (perhaps this is the problem? ). When I make a Facetime video call, I can hear the recipient, but they cannot hear me.
When I go into the Sound setting->Input, select Internal Microphone and test it (like record something from Photo Booth), the bars (input level) remain greyed-out.

Macbook air does not boot after yosemite update

After latest Yosemite update my Mac book Air is not finishing to reboot, all I see is the white apple on the black screen and the progress bar whch loads slowly and kind of get stuck half the way to the end, and it stays there forever.
I forced to restart with the start hardware key and it does the same. any idea what went wrong and or what can I do next?
thanks

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

MacBook Air - Camera not connected after update 10.8.5

After the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5, which I updated on my MacBook Air, and I didn't read the part about the camera saying it might not work for MacBook Air. So., carelessly, I updated and then when I wanted to Facetime it did not work. Then I realised my camera wasn't working for all of my apps. Are the Apple Company going to fix this? Or do we have to do something ourselves? I need my camera back.

(1) Do this: (If necessary, print this and bookmark the links before starting the process.)
• If you do not already have one, make a backup of your important files now.
• Use the  > Restart... menu command to restart your Mac.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
• Download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
• Repair permissions AGAIN immediately following the restart that completes the Combo Update.
• Test your camera to be sure it is working.
(2) If the problem continues, do this:
• Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
• Use "Mac OS X Utilities" there to repair your startup DISK (NOT permissions.)
• Restart your Mac normally.
• Test your camera to be sure it is working.
(3) If the problem still exists, do this:
• Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
• Reinstall OS X. (You will need to be connected to broadband Internet.)
• As soon as the Mac restarts after the reinstall,
use your Mac's Disk Utility (NOT OS X Recovery this time) to repair permissions.
• Test your camera to be sure it is working.
(4) If the camera still doesn't work, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Macbook air does not sleep after closing the lid or putting into sleep

I've searched the message boards and external sites for answers and even spoke to Apple support. I'm so frustrated because it affects my work everyday. Its a 2013 Macbook Air running 10.9.2 and file vault. I close the lid or force into sleep mode and the system stays on even though the display goes dark. I travel alot so it goes into my briefcase and by morning its dead. I have turned off bluetooth devices, reset the SMC, have no external devices connected other than a thunderbolt monitor, booted into safe mode and followed every suggestion out there. Apple support person said he's never seen this before which is ridiculous because there are so many cases I have read about including Apple Support Communities. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Multiple functions not working after upgrade to Yosemite

We have an iMac (see specs below) that I upgraded to Yosemite a few weeks ago. We have had no luck launching Safari or the App Store. In fact Chrome is the only browser that will work since the upgrade. Another weird issue is when we go to Youtube it wont load any videos? Everything worked great with Mavericks and I not sure if there is a way to fix my Yosemite issue? I'd appreciate any and all feedback.
Regards,
Greg

Hello Michael Dixon2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to troubleshoot this issue where the optical drive does not accept discs, please follow the steps below.
Doesn't accept discs
Be sure to check your disc to make sure it is flat. You can check this by putting the disc upside-down on a flat surface. If the disc is bowed up on any side or in the center, do not use the disc because it might get stuck in the drive. Do not use discs that have anything attached to them or dangling from them (such as "sweeper" or cleaning discs).
If the drive struggles when you put in a disc or stops part-way, carefully look at the disc for labels that may be interfering. If there aren't any raised labels then try putting the disc in a few more times.
Try another disc to see if the issue is being caused by a specific disc.
Make sure you insert the disc far enough for the drive mechanism to activate. You need to insert discs nearly all the way before the drive will activate and pull them in. If you don't completely insert a disc, the drive will reverse and push the disc back out.
Allow the drive one or two seconds to accept the disc while it is fully inserted.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
If the drive repeatedly does not accept discs, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.

Thunderbolt ethernet not working after upgrading to Yosemite

After a very long and frustrating 2 days I have managed to upgrade my MacBook Air (13 Inch, Early 2014) to Yosemite. I have the official Apple thunderbolt to ethernet adapter but System Preferences/Network reports that the cable has been disconnected. It has not and other devices connected to the ethernet cable work fine. Any suggestions to get it working? Anyone else having the same problem?

I have a similar problem. My Macbook Pro Retina 15" (1st generation) can no longer connect to my university network through a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter since upgrading to Yosemite. (Actually, OSX 10.9 on a different machine altogether also has the same problem -- tested and verified.) I tried multiple dongles and multiple Ethernet cables, and finally called our tech support. We found a workaround for the problem by purchasing a USB to Ethernet adapter, but this now means that instead of a single device chain leading into the laptop, I am now using multiple ports. I hope a patch for this is in the works.

Logitech USB Speakers not working after upgrade to Yosemite

After upgrading my MacBook Air to Yosemite, my Logitech Z305 USB speaker no longer work. In fact, it isn't even recognized in the Output list in Sound in the System Preferences. It worked nearly all the time with Mavericks, with an occasional need for a system reboot if no sound was coming out, but it was always displayed under the Output tab regardless.
I just killed the coreaudiod process in the Activity Monitor, but this didn't do anything of note.
Any ideas of what has to happen for these speakers to work again?

I zapped the PRAM and SMC, but that did nothing. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3604
