Macbook air crashed when using USB.

My macbook air crashed when I plugged in my new portable charger in the USB, and it refuse to start again. Nothing is happening when Im trying to start the mac. Is the macbook totally destroyed or can I fix this in some way? appreciate your help!

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Mid-2011 MacBook Air Crashed When Unplugging Thunderbolt

    I am using the Belkin Thunderbolt Express dock. I have found that if I am running my Macbook Air off of the battery and unplug the Belkin dock, my Air crashes. Has anyone else had any issues with their Macbook crashing when dicsonnecting a Thunderbolt peripheral?

    I never installed it, it's popped up each time I've checked -- but today it wasn't offered in Software Update.  Odd.

  • Random crashes when using USB drive with Creatie Suite

    I have a 24" Intel IMAC and when using a SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB and Creative Suite I eperience random crashes in CS. When I remove th drive it works fine, any known issues when using Rosetta apps and USB drives?
    thanks

    So a guy goes into his doctors office and tells his doctor "Ya gotta
    help me doc...it hurts when I run my head into the door like
    this...OW!". Then the doctor says:
    "DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE!!!"
    (I promise to keep my day job...oops what job...and not go into
    comedy..)
    Why don't you convert all the old 16 bit code into 32 bit code and
    create one application where the various parts all know about each
    other? I don't think that there's any way to coordinate an old 16 bit
    LV and a new 32 bit LV application so that they don't step on each
    other driverwise like they appear to be doing. I don't think that the
    two LabVIEW's even know that the other exists!
    Alternatively, get a second computer to run the 16 bit code on and
    make the two apps communicate with
    each other using TCP/IP or serial.

  • Turning off Macbook Air Display when using External Display on Lion

    I had been searching the web and the community forums here for a few hours and finally figured out how to turn off the display on my Macbook Air 2011 running lion and using an external monitor.
    With Snow Leopard all you had to do was plug in the external monitor to your MBA then close the lid and wake up the MBA while it was closed. Then you could open up the lid and it would stay off so it would have better air flow and wouldn't get too hot and run the fan all the time.
    But ever since Lion, they screwed that up for us.
    But after all my searching I finally found someone here give the fix on a MBA.
    All you need to do is use a little magnet and put it where the MBA
    Special thanks to ronaldfromjakarta and wv636 for giving the answers and workaround until Apple fixes this oversight
    "I found a solution for this.. my solution is to put a fridge magnet directly right to the return key (about 2 cm away from the right usb port)... so the laptop thinks the lid is closed and so the display is off.. lol.. try it.. it works.."
    You can read more about others using this here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3192733?start=0&tstart=0
    In this example I used a big yellow magnet just to test it out, but I will be using a small thin magnet for regular use so that it wont mess up my screen if I accidentally close the lid on it.
    Also I put a small piece of paper between the magnet and my MBA so that I wont scratch my MBA.
    Some will also ask if it is safe to use a magnet on your MBA etc. You are only placing a magnet where the magnet from the lid would go anyway's. Just make sure you don't use a super magnet or something and you should be all good ;-)
    Here are the image examples:
    MBA is powered on
    MBA is now asleep
    Just place the magnet right next to the "Enter/ Return" key
    (Note: I used a small piece of paper under the magnet to protect from scratching my MBA)

  • New MacBook keeps crashing when using Excel 2004

    Hi there. I have just started using a new macbook pro with Snow Leopard. When I am using Excel (2004) it keeps crashing, going to blue screen and then I have to re-enter my password. I keep losing a lot of work and it's infuriating me.
    Does anyone know of a solution?
    Thank you

    Hi Personal Jesus;
    I suggest you ask Microsoft since Excel is their product.

  • 2G Macbook air crashes when waking from sleep

    My MBA 13" is near perfect, the only problem is, 50% of the time when I wake the computer from sleep, the grey curtain comes down and i'm prompted to reboot.
    Happening quite a lot, it's still under warranty, is there a fix?

  • I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

    I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

    On your Mac.......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase Disk
    On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
    The operation will only take a few minutes.
    Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs.  Back up one Mac first, then back up the other.  Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

  • I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
    open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
    highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process.  see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
    screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

  • When I try to burn a CD off of my MacBook Air (from iTunes) using the external CD drive, it acts like it is burning the CD, but then when I try to play it the CD is blank.

    When I try to burn a CD off of my MacBook Air (from iTunes) using the external CD drive, it acts like it is burning the CD, but then when I try to play it the CD is blank.

    Many thanks for the diagnostics.
    Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
    Error while opening iTunes CD driver.  This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
    With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

    In the future, I suggest that when you use a USB item, you eject it first before simply pulling it out of the USB port.  That will allow the software to gracefully disconnect first.
    There are several ways to do the eject.  One way is to set Finder's preferences to show all hard disks and external disks on the desktop (under Finder > Preferences > General).  Then you could right click on the USB device's icon on your desktop and choose "Eject" when the time is right.

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA

    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA

    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • MacBook Pro crashes when connecting via external modem

    My new MacBook Pro crashes when I try to connect to the Internet via an external modem. Is it a SW or HW problem? In the latter case might it by the computer or the modem (original).

    This is Bob Simpson again from Paris. I followed the advice given in this forum and took out the set of HP printer drivers from the drivers pre-installled in my MacBook Pro and put them on my desktop. After that, the modem worked perfectly. If I want to use my HP Laserjet 1200 printer, I plug it into a USB port on the computer, the computer recognizes it and prints. If I want to use the modem again, I have to take that printer out of my list of printers in the print center. This is a bit of a pain in the neck, but it works. No one at any of the Apple distributers or Apple Care centers was able to figure all this out. Our forum did the job and we should get free awards from Apple, like the installation of the update on all our computers that will settle this problem. Otherwise, my BMacBook pro works like a dream. Many thanks to all of you and jackplug, you don't have to throw away your printer.

  • I have Lightroom 5 installed on my MacBook Air but when I try to open the program I receive the message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  I uninstalled, emptied trash and re-installed but I continue to get the same message.

    I have Lightroom 5 installed on my iMac which I downloaded (uploaded?) to my MacBook Air (via wi-fi) but unlike the iMac, I'm unable to use the program on the MacBook Air.  When I open the program on the iMac and click 'file', (as people using the program would know) there are 21 options - import pics, export, etc, etc - however, in the version on the MacBook Air, opening 'file' gives me four options - New Catalogue, Open Catalogue, Page Setup and Printer - and with that comes the pop-up message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules".  Any ideas please?

    A forum thread from 3 years ago talking about LR 1.x which had this problem seems to need permissions fixed or new folders created with the corrected permissions.  You might try doing a repair permissions for your user and/or run LR as an administrator user.  I am a PC person so cannot tell you exactly how to do that.
