Macbook Air Google Chrome Problem

My new Macbook air will not open Google Chrome. It says to reopen or restore which I can do neither. Chrome works on all my other Macs. How do I delete the Chrome application from my library and start over?

Drag the google chrome icon from your application library to the trash and empty the trash.

I have the Numbers-applications on both Mac mini and Macbook Air. My problem is that they don't sync so when I create a Numbers-file on the MacBook while travelling, it will not be on my Mac mini when I get home :(((

Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Macbook air Shut down problem

Hi everyone,
I used to have the shut down problem with my Macbook air. I have an 11" Later 2011 Macbook air.
The problem did not go away after updating to Mountain lion.
I just realized that although I was closing all programs, I was not ejecting my 3G modem/dongle.
Once I ejected it before commanding it to shut down, it did shut down properly.
I thought I should share it with you. May be there is a program that has not been closed or a devise that has not been unplugged/ejected properly and is restricting the shut down.
It worked for me. Hope it will work for you.
Enjoy your Mac.
J.

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
     If this does not help, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store
     to have the battery checked out.
     Best,

New Mid 2013 Macbook Air has Battery Problems

I'm having problems with my new Mid 2013 Macbook Air. I read it's to do with the i7 processor or using Chrome. Below are the details from etresoft scan. Any help on how to find and shut down unecessary items/processes much appreciated?

MacBook Air Hard Drive Problems?

Ok, so I have a MacBook Air. I don't know the exact model, but it's a school laptop from Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School in Maine. I was watching a movie on the laptop, and I went to use Google Chrome, and Finder froze, and I got the little rainbow wheel spinny thing. So I shut down the computer, then when I turned it back on I got the blinking question mark folder. I looked everywhere for answers, and chose internet recovery. I did that, finally got to the disk utility section, and all that is there is "Disk0" with "Mac OS X Base System" under it. I'm familiar with what disk utility is, and I know that Startup Disk and Macintosh HD should be there, but they're not. There's nothing else there. I'm freaking out right now. There was a crap ton of files on there that I need (about 55 gigs worth, it's just music files and ideas). Almost 3 years of music production and important stuff for school. I looked everywhere for a place to send my laptop to, like Drivesavers, and some other company, and I don't have 1500 dollars to get back this stuff. I have literally tried everything on every link, every forum, and every page on here, and Google, and nothing is working. I need help now, if there's a solution I need to know it. Nothing will work, I've tried safe mode, verbose mode, holding option/alt, shift, command+shift+V/S, and absolutely nothing but getting to Internet Recovery, and then going to reinstall mountain lion 10.8, and there's nothing to choose from to reinstall it, and nothing in disk utility but disk0 and mac base system. I haven't downloaded anything unsafe. I just really need my files back without paying 1000s of dollars, and without destroying this laptop. I didn't get the warranty from my school for the laptop, because I don't have 150 dollars. I treated this laptop with care, and then all of a sudden this crap happens. It's never been dropped, there isn't any unusual sounds coming from it, it turns on fine, except this hard drive, or SSD, or IDK what it's called I'm not too tech savy with a problem like this. Please respond ASAP, and please read this thoroughly, and don't ask stuff that has been answered, not to sound like a jerk, but I've had problems here, and people just ignore me and blow me off.

Is there an open application that is using data on the external drive? If so, quit it before trying to eject.

Macbook Air 2011 battery problem

Hello guys!
I bought Macbook Air mid 2011 11 inch model with 128 Gb and 4 Gb RAM. In last weeks I saw my MBA after full charge (all night) have 100%, but after two hours is 10%. Is it normal? I just worked with Google Chrome, Time Machine and maybe some video in HD in MPlayerX. What I can do?

Ah, I made a reply yesterday evening, it has disappeared.
I try to repeat it again:
Don't worry: you have the most beautiful and enviable MacbookAir! It's the latest version, and it's battery is also new. I guess there's nothing wrong with it. The only thing that is different with my MBP's is that there is 6,4 power usage (obviously with the charger in), could you check one thing for me:
Start Acitvity Monitor (in Utilities), and for <all processes>, click on the %CPU column, are there any processes that continiously use more than say 15%?
The battery values vary a bit, that's not abnormal (in my MBP they vary between 92-103%; 90 cycles, 28 months), they are absolutely not giving the impression that there is something wrong with the battery, it's life is not determined by what Coconutbattery says (a good utility btw), but by the number of cycles, read the pages I gave the links of.
Another thing: there is an EFI update, look in the Software Update (EFI is an hardware layer, compare bios in a PC):
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1448.
If you do not have "problems", it is still good to update, because it may solve some issue that you have not encountered yet.
don't worry, have fun with your fantastic 13" MBA,
happy computing,
Lex

battery time remaining is currently unreliable, techs are looking into it.
What ACTUAL time are you getting off a full charge?
rely on battery % until there is a resolution
there are no suspect apps or processes in your list that i see
Peace

Macbook Air app storage problem

I have a 256gb Macbook Air with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5. Everything is running fine except that when I open up my storage information it says that apps are taking up 100gb of space, however, when I go to my finder > applications > get info it says that my applications are only taking up 11gb. I don't have much space left on my hard drive so this is a bit of an issue of me and also kind of confusing. How can I have 100gb of applications taking up space on my computer when I only have 11gb worth of applications?
I only have the default applications and Google Chrome, Skype, uTorrent, Photoshop and Lightroom installed.
Is there any way that I can reduce the gb spent on applications without deleting anything?
Thank you!

Firefox and Google Chrome problem

I updated plugins in Firefox - including Shockwave and now my Google Chrome browser crashes as soon as I open it. I uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome, but it still won't work. For a split second when I try to open Chrome I get an error that says something about Firefox, but it is not on the screen long enough for me to read or hit continue. I like using Chrome for one of my email accounts and some other stuff. Any one else having this problem?

Normally there's no connection between Google Chrome and Firefox. Do you have any Chrome add-ons that interact with Firefox in any way, for example, to share data such as bookmarks, history, etc.?
Chrome has an integrated version of the Flash plugin, so updates for Firefox or IE usually have no effect on Chrome.
Does Chrome have a command-line switch to start up with a blank page instead of your regular home page? Or a "safe mode" with add-ons disabled? If so, you might try those.
Perhaps if you use a screen recorder (like Jing) you can record that fleeting message and reply back with whatever it says.

Macbook Air 2013 USB problems (won't connect/ reconnecting)

I have a new Macbook Air 13-inch Mid 2013 with all the upgrades possible (1.7 Ghz i7, 8GB RAM, 512 GB SSD). I am running Mac OS X 10.8.5. Every software is at the latest version.
I am having troubles connecting a couple of USB 2.0 devices to the Macbook. The first one is my phone. It's a HTC One and when I plug it in dmesg gives this output:
USB (XHCI Root Hub USB 2.0 Simulation):Port 2 on bus 0xa connected or disconnected: portSC(0xe0206e1)

The Identifier message keeps repeating every couple of seconds until I plug the phone out. It also won't show in System Report -> USB.
The second device is a Kinect for Windows (Model 1517). Here it is almost the same. dmesg gives me the following output:
USB (XHCI Root Hub USB 2.0 Simulation):Port 1 on bus 0xa connected or disconnected: portSC(0xe0206e1)

USBF: 6916. 69 The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate the device (Port 2 of Hub at 0x14100000).
These three lines keep repeating every couple of seconds until I plug it out again. But here I get something in System Report -> USB:

This is still a little strange because there are supposed to be 3 devices (the motor is missing).
So, I haven't yet had the chance to test on other computers but I will try to get my hand on one this weekend. And I will buy an external powered USB-hub to see if it is a power issue, which I doubt because the phone doesn't need that much and the Kinect comes with an external power supply.
Any idea how I can use my hardware? Is there anything more I have to look for? Known bugs? Do you need more information? ANY help is highly appreciated!
Thank you!

For me the issues are resolved but I guess it won't help you much. Sry.
The HTC One could not properly connect because the USB cable was broken somehow. I bought a new one and it worked ever after. It's crazy because I tried 3 cables before (which I had successfully used with other devices), but they were all very cheap, from the same manufacturer and bought at the same time. Must have been a bad batch or something.
The Kinect was a different story. Here the problem was that the firmware was not compatible with the driver on the MAC. I did some research and since I can't make my own drivers I got myself another Kinect with an older firmware and that resolved this issue.
Good luck.

Macbook air hdmi connection problem

I cannot get my macbook air to connect to my tv via an hdmi cable. I suspected my cable until my neighbor had the same issue. Have others experienced this and is there a solution?

I have had this same problem. Has the wifi worked before? What I did was I turned my wifi off, then I restarted my computer, then I turned my wifi back on. If that doesnt work, leave the wifi off, and shut it down for a while. Hope I could help!

2008 Macbook Air Screen Hinge Problem

Hi all, so my 2008 Macbook Air's hinge got a little loose, and I was told Apple would replace it for free, so I took it to them. HUGE MISTAKE. After the hinge was replaced the screen didn't fully line up when the laptop was closed and the screen started going out like once every 2 weeks, but only for like a tenth of a second so I never really thought it was a problem. It never did this before Apple fixed the loose hinge. About 6 months after the hinge was replaced, it started doing it daily, and shortly after that it did it every time I open the laptop, so now it officially is a problem for me. I brought it back to Apple and they told me that I would have to pay for an expensive new repair or buy a new laptop, even after I explained to them that the laptop was perfectly fine before they replaced the hinge. They said I should have come within 3 months, but I was back at school and it was not a problem at all then, nor did I think it would be. I brought it to a 3rd party repair shop and they did not open the laptop but they said it looks like the screen cable is being pinched by the new hinge since it is not lined up perfectly. Is there anything that can be done or do I have to buy a new laptop?

I'm a college student with no car or Apple store nearby and the laptop was shipped back to me because of that. If I had to go another week without a laptop that would have been disasterous, but more importantly I had no way of knowing it would stop working or that the slight misalignment was anything other than cosmetic, I'm no tech genius and I clearly wasn't the one who put the laptop together wrong. It wasn't even my fault the hinge got loose in the first place! Sigh, I suppose if they can't make this right I hope I can learn to use Windows.

MacBook Air 2013 Internet problems

I just recently ordered a 2013 MacBook Air and it arrived in the mail today. All was going well until I began to encounter problems with the Internet, repeatedly. When it's working everything is fine and dandy, but sometimes when I am trying to look something up the bar will just stop loading the new page, and I'm stuck there until I restart it or log off and back on again. When the bar stops loading I can't do anything that requires Internet, until I choose one of my two previously said options. Can someone please help me? I bought this machine for college, and if im having these (very) frustrating problems already I'm going to go crazy! Unfortunately I'm not one of those tech-savvy people who can change their Internet channels and such!! Please help!

MacBook Air 2013 Camera Problems

I have a MacBook Air 2013 and recently, after the most current update my built-in camera not only does not work with Skype but does not work with Facetime or Photobooth either.
Under "Camera" in System Report my camera does not show up. I have rebooted, shutdown and cold-booted, pressed Shift + Alt + Ctrl + Command when booting.
I don't want to do a fresh install of my (brand new) computer all over again just yet. What should I do? Is it a software issue?
It's rather frustrating because I can't Skype or even Facetime my family and resorting to an external webcam is a ridiculous notion for a laptop.
Thanks,

Hey dominic23,
Thanks - that update solved the issue of me not being able to use the webcam. However, now my mic does not work as well. I have rebooted a few times (shut down, cold boot) as well as holding the Shift + Alt + Command when powering up.
Is there a fix to this? Apple seriously needs to fool-proof these updates. Or, at least never have any of these problems in Mavericks
Thanks for all your help.

Kwin and Chromium(or google-chrome) problem

Hi,
I'm using Arch Linux about 2 years now,and this is the first time i have a problem that i cannot solve or find the solution googling it...
the problem is that for some days now on my pc if chromium is maximazed if i drag the tab bar with my mouse, nothing happped and chromium stays maximazed.the same problem happens when chrumium is not maximazed and it drag it on top of the screen.it sould be maximazed,but it stays as it is.I also realized that kwin effects is not working with chromium(wobby windows for example).
The only way to make it work properly again is to restote system title bar and borders.Then if i drag the title bar on top or the edge of the screen chromium resized correctly.The problem is that I need this extra space if system's title bar.
The same problem happens this google-chrome(I installed it from the AUR).
The have this problem only on my desktop(64bit),on my laptop(32bit installation,same configuration) everything works great.
//sorry for my poor english...

Another strange thig that i notice is:
i can't open proxy settings and archlinux forum don't open in chromium... but it open in firefox...
sorry i figured out this problem...
