MacBook Air Mid '11 Fan Issue

This morning, I downloaded SMC Fan Control because my mac was running really hot after running Skype and some other programs at once.
I decided I didn't want it, so I uninstalled it, and it said the fans would return to normal.
After restarting my computer several times, and then shutting it down and turning it back on, I noticed the CPU would be hitting 190-200 Degrees Farinheit and the fans would still be running @ 2,000RPM.
I'm worried I did something to it and I don't know how to fix it.

AppleCare/warranty is applicable for the first year, and is extended to three years if you buy an extension plan.
This case does bring up an intereresting point though. Would installation of a application which performs in this manner affect the warranty?
I would think that Apple would have a problem covering a hardware/firmware issue caused by an unruly program designed to obviate the built in control mechanisms of the computer.

Macbook Air Mid 2012 Fan speed not adjusting

Hi,
I've a serious problem with my Macbook Air Mid 2012. The fan speed of the system is fixed to maximum of 2000rpm and is not
adjusting with increasing temperature. An SMC reset has not fixed the problem. At the moment I've to use iStat to increase the fan speed,
but otherwise the Air is crashing at about 78C. Does anybody has a similar problem?
Kind regards

Is the problem your fan is too noisy when it is not under load?
If your fan is running too fast you can try reseting SMC.

You can also try disabling or uninstalling SMCFanControl and then resetting SMC.
SMCFanControl should not be necessary for the normal operation of your Mac.
P.S. Your English is excellent.

Macbook Air 2013(Haswell) fan issue?

Hi Guys,
I've been having a weird issue with my Macbook air. I've noticed that it's been a little bit warmer than usual lately.
I downloaded iStat and upon watching a youtube video for 20 minutes my temps rise to 80-90 celcius. However, my fan speed never goes about 2000rpm. I tried setting the fan speed manually to check if there was an issue with the fan itself and it happily increases to around 6000rpm. Should my fan speed be compensating more for the heat at 80-90 celcius than it is? It's running 60 celsius on idle...
Thanks for your help guys!

Try a SMC reset:

Did you have buggy Mavericks issue after installing on Macbook Air Mid 2012?

Before I have upgraded my OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 to Mavericks 10.9 it runs so smoothly and no issues or hanging that I encounter. But just this morning when I installed Mavericks, I have the following issues:
1.) When I was adding a book(pdf and epud files) in iBook, the Finder malfunctioned, coz when I browse the books to it's location so I can add some more again, the Sidebar icons disappeared and only the names left. And when I go to the location of the files using Finder, the content is nowhere to be found, just a symbol on the window’s status bar that it is loading or busy on something.
2.) When I go to the Launchpad, when I scroll to left and right to find the apps I’m looking using the touchpad, it's not as smooth as before. It tends to halt on sliding to the other groups of apps, seems like there’s a friction stopping it from sliding smoothly all the way to the next group of apps.
3.) Updating the Apps from App Store seems cumbersome like the iPhoto and iMovie, coz when the internet fails or drops its signal for a while or so, you go back and download everything again, and when you hover the mouse to see the progress of the downloaded app, it shows for example 22mb of 1gb then shifted to 300mb of 1gb then back to 22mb of 1gb then back again. It’s not accurate and going berserk.
4.) And I don't know if it is just me, but the screen profile have changed a bit coz the red color of the Power Point icon seem too red and everything that has a hint of red color seems exaggerated, it’s too bright red. I'm just not sure it might be the GUI style of the Mavericks. . .
Anyway, have any of you experienced these kinds of issues on your Macbook Air Mid 2012?
Hopefully this could be fixed and Apple would seed an update in no time.

Even on my MacBook Pro Haswell (2013) 15 inch retina with a GT 750 2gb.
The Things in Mavericks that really make me :
1. The Launchpad is buggy when i scroll to the left or right... sometimes it doesn't even respond at all.
2. Safari and Other Apps Like AppStore freez sometimes, and i need to force quit everytime, because its not           responding.
3. Bootcamp Windows 8.1 <---- NOT 8 Support (Bad Keyboard- Facetime camera- drivers,
    Icons (brightness, sound) are ugly on retina screen) + GPU Drivers i can't update (maybe that's normal).
4. iTunes is very SLOW when Scrolling the Albums (i know its 2880x1800 and that's heavy for GPU) But it's just     not a good 'Experience'.
5. Gaming its realy good on this MacBook, but please make the drivers better, i know this GT 750 GPU can do           better.

Macbook Air mid-2013 suddenly not booting - showed battery icon then died

Hi all,
This morning, I used my Macbook Air (mid-2013) to send an email and check up on my usual stuff, nothing I've not done hundreds of times. I then closed the lid and went to work. Again, nothing I've never done before.
When I got home though, I opened the Macbook and it didn't wake up, which I thought was odd. So I pressed the power button. For a few seconds, it showed an icon in the middle of a black screen that was related to the battery - sorry I can't recall exactly what it looked like, its the first time I've seen it, but it showed an empty battery with a small red part of it left - obviously understood as meaning the battery was flat.
I was puzzled at this; it should have been asleep since I'd closed the lid, how could it have run out? I was only gone for about 8 hours as well, I usually get more battery life than that out of it when I'm actually using it, never mind when its sleeping.
But I thought whatever, and plugged it in for a few minutes to charge it up enough to turn on and maybe see why it had done this. The orange light came on the Magsafe end, but after a few minutes, still nothing.
Cue much panicking and looking around at things, and this is what I've discovered/tried:
- The battery appears to be charging, the light eventually went green.
- When I press the power button, the Mac does power on; I can hear the fan inside if I put my ear to it (note that this means its really quiet, its not blowing at full power or anything), and the Mac is getting hot on the left hand side where the power adapter plugs in. It turns on both when plugged in and when its not. So the battery has power and the machine is turning on, it just isn't booting or doing anything. I can turn it off if I hold the power button down for about 3 seconds, the fan stops. But everything else is completely unresponsive. Also, it gets quite hot pretty quick, hotter than it normally does when in use.
- I've reset the SMC, several times. When I do this, the light on the Magsafe goes green for a second, then back to orange, as though I've just plugged it in. I guess this means it is responding to the SMC reset, but it does nothing in terms of getting the thing started. This is the first thing people suggest with this problem, but I've already done it and while it seems to be doing its thing, it doesn't fix the problem.
- I've tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM. This has no noticeable affect on anything.
- I've tried holding a bunch of different keys when starting up (cmd+R etc.) but again, nothing.
- I've tried something crazy suggested in another thread; leaving the Macbook partially opening and shaking it, which supposedly does something to the "sudden motion sensor". I wouldn't have tried this but a whole bunch of people said it worked for them, but it does nothing for me. The fact this step didn't work is why I made a new thread; because the issue with those people seemed to be that their Macs wouldn't wake up from sleep/hibernation and shaking it somehow did that, or they just magically woke up on their own.
And at this stage I seem to have run out of thing to try.
I've made an appointment at the Genius bar but the earliest they could do is Saturday, which is pretty crappy and I'm going travelling in less than 2 weeks, so I really need my Macbook to sort out the details since a lot of info about it is on there exclusively.
Does anyone know any reason why this might have happened?
Why would the battery drain so fast when it was supposed to be sleeping?
Why will it now not boot at all, even though it's powering up in some way? Could it not booting be related to the fact the battery seemed to run completely flat, and this has done something to the software or hardware?
Any suggestions beyond what I've tried already?
If I can't get it working before my Genius appointment, I'll post what happens here just in case any one else has this issue so people will have an idea of what might have happened to them.
Thanks in advance!

You could try booting the MBP using the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys and see if it will connect to the Apple servers. This would allow you to install the original OSX . I have my doubts though.

The Sudden Motion Sensor is applicable for conventional Hard Drives, not the SSD that is in a MBA. Doing that will serve no useful purpose.
You have exhausted all reasonable options and will just have to have the MBA evaluated at the genius bar.

Macbook air mid 2011 cpu overheating with yosemite

Hi,
after upgrading to OS X Yosemite, my MacBook air mid 2011 is constantly overheating, the CPU in particular, rapidly reaching 96-97 °C.
The CPU fan is (fortunately!) working regularly.
Did not experience such problem until yesterday morning, before upgrading to the new OS.
Activity monitor shows CPU use by "launchd" in particular.
Thanks for any hint,
Daniele

Hi,
thanks all for the replies.
I tried SMC reset following dominic23's suggestion, but that did not solve the issue.
After other attempts, I decided to go back to Mavericks, thanks to the time machine backup.
I have finished the process now and I'm writing you with the old 10.9.5 version. Everything is fine.
In my case, more than the CPU temperature and the noise, the worst part was the battery life, that dropped down to less than half an hour (I am used to almost 3 hours).
Thus, for all the MacBook Air (mid 2011) users, I strongly suggest to check on forums etc. before upgrading to Yosemite.

Macbook Air Mid 2013 No Built-In Audio

Hey everyone,
I have an issue with my friends Macbook Air (Mid 2013 Model). After listening to some music through his speakers, he unplugged his Aux cable and then plugged them back in to find that he didnt have built in output or input anymore. I have tried all of the following to fix it:
Reinstall OS X 10.8
Run all of the Automation tools found in the application Onyx
Reinstall certain .kext files (AppleHDA and AudioAUUC)
Repair permissions
Re-seat the speakers in the device itself
Reset coreaudio
Resetting SMC, PRAM, and NVRAM
Clear and re-build kernal cache
Cleaned the headphone jack
Plugged in an audio interface
Reloaded from Time Machine Backup
etc...
I've literally tried almost everything in the book. The only other thing i can think of is installing a copy of Mavericks when it comes out (In October i believe). There is no boot up chime, and after running the OS in verbose mode, i can see that AudioAUUC.kext is not being loaded. Built in audio does not appear is system profiler. What can i do to fix this problem? Could it really be a hardware issue? If so, what can i do to fix it?

Test after each step.
1. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
    Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.
2. Plug in the head phone and reset SMC.

MacBook Air (Mid 2013) Windows 8 via Bootcamp

Hey guys,
Just wanted to know if there was anybody who was able to install Windows 8 (or even Windows 7) on their new MacBook Air.
I heard from somebody that installing Windows via bootcamp was different for this model.
First of all,he said that you are unable to install Windows 7/8 with a CD--although it is possible, he said that you will incur with some prolems during installing, he said the trackpad and keyboard will be not functioning.
Anyways, there were many other problems he told me...
Anybody installed it? Were there any problems?

Well you must actually say what you mean. DVD or 8GB flash drive. Whether you have a USB-DVD Apple SuperDrive or something else.
BCA should walk you through. And, it has instructions! a guide to read and printout.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5639
How can I install Windows 8 on an eligible computer?
Use the Boot Camp Assistant. The assistant will partition your internal hard drives and install Windows 8. For more information on Windows 8 installation, see the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide.

MacBook Air Mid 2013 BootCamp Windows 8.1 Compability

Dear All, actually I have a doubt on installing Windows 8.1 on MacBook Air Mid 2013 by using BootCamp. the thing is when I bought Windows 8.1 from a typical computer accessories store, I been told by the salesperson that there will be no problems at all after installing it, but after I installed the Windows 8.1 on my friend's MacBook Air, the USB ports and trackpad seems like no functioning at all, and the sadest thing is the Computer cant be turn off!!! Its there any remedies on this problem? Or should I just use Windows 8 or either Windows 7 because seems like there is still dont have any software update from Apple, Guys, I need helps from you guy. Thanks!!!!

Thanks themachead: I have tried the adaptors on different macs, as I indicated in my post. The adaptor works fine with a different mac
Yes, I have also tried starting up with the monitor connected, and disconnected.
I just got off the phone with Apple Care. They couldn't solve my issue through normal means, but during one attempt, we closed my MacBook Air while it was connected to the external display, with my Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard connected via Bluetooth. The external monitor did not come on. However when I opened my Macbook Air's screen, we saw that my Mac had crashed and prompted me to reboot. When it did, the external monitor worked. I have been able to disconnect and reconnect the monitor and it seems to be working now. I will see what happens after a few attempts.

How do I discharge (calibrate?) my Macbook Air (Mid 2013) without harming the battery?

I just got the latest MacBook Air this week. And after reading the discussion here https://discussions.apple.com/message/22294118#22294118 I chose not to calibrate it the first time since it shouldn`t be necessary with lithium-based batteries.
The thing that still confuses me about the calibration issue with the Macbook Air (Mid 2013) is the text I`ve underlined below from Apples page and where they are talking about lithium-based batteries:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
"Standard Maintenance
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop’s iCal. When your battery no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs, you may choose to replace it. If your notebook came with a built-in battery, you should have the battery replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider."
So when Apple is talking about discharging, how should I actually discharge it? If discharging a lithium-based battery completely is harmful for the battery life, then what is the ideal way to do this without harming the battery? How should I discharge my battery when the calender says it`s time?

Calibration is not needed for "built-in" -non-removable- battery.
"Portables with built-in batteries
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider."

MacBook Air mid-2013 OSX 10.9.1 cannot connect to DVI Monitor

Does anyone else have this problem? I've seen similar issues raised, but so far can't find a solution to my particular issue:
MacBook Air Mid 2013 (ordered Jan 2014)
- 1.3GHz Intel Core i5
- 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
- OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks.
When I connect my MacBook Air to any monitor (well, I've tried three monitors: Benq, NEC and Samsung) the monitor will not detect an attached computer. The MacBook also does not think it's connected to an external display.
If I connect via VGA cable, it works fine most of the time*, so the display port seems to work only for VGA and not DVI.
I am using mini display port adapters (DVI and VGA) purchased from the Apple Store.
The adapter for the mini display to DVI works fine, since I can get my 2009 MacBook unibody to connect to an external display via DVI without issue. So it's not the adapter, or the DVI cable.
I have tried resetting the System Management Controller for my MacBook air but it does not work. No matter how many times I reset the computer (Hard reset, Soft power down, SMC reset) I cannot get it to connect via DVI.
Has anyone experienced this issue, or seen a resolution for it?
*The only other symptom I get periodically, is that after being disconnected from a VGA monitor, the computer will periodically (about 2/5 times) not connect to the VGA monitor either without a reboot. However it will connect most of the time, and ALL of the time after a reboot.
Thank you

How to install Canon MG3170 printer to Macbook Air (mid 2012), both USB & wifi

I have been trying to install the Canon MG3170 to my Macbook Air (mid 2012 version) using OS X Version 10.8.4. I followed the paper manual that came with the box & used the CD provided. In the midst of the installation, "AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO ADD THE SELECTED PRINTER: UNABLE TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING SOFTWARE UPDATE."
Problems:
1) Cannot connect on Network because there is no WPS button on my Airport Extreme and Airport Express.
2) Cannot print, both via USB or wifi network.
When I bought the printer, I specifically selected this because it has Airprint and wireless printing and was one of the few printers in the Apple Online store. However, I have been having a lot of issues getting the printer installed to be used on my Macbook Air.
Please help!!

Thank you John Galt!
After running SOFTWARE UPDATE, I restarted the Macbook. (DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK YET!)
Then I connected the Canon Printer MG3170 to my MacBook Air via the USB cable.
Next, I switched on the printer.
I am able to print and scan (via USB cable) from;
SYSTEM PREFERENCES - PRINT & SCAN - select CANON MG3100 series.
To install applications for printing & scanning, go to http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201148300.html
However, this solved part of the question above, i.e., printing via USB cable (which is not the whole purpose of using the Airprint Printer) but at least it is a start.
*NOTE: UNINSTALL any prior Canon softwares and drivers specifically installed for this printer first before attempting the steps above as it may interfere with the installation process.

HT5219 I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display. Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ? I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged.

I have a macbook air (mid 2012) and a thunderbolt display (27'').
Do I absolutely need to connect the power supply together with the thunderbolt cable ?
I found that the screen won't wake up if only the thunderbolt connection is plugged. Is this normal ?

I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
Good luck,
Clinton

MacBook Air mid-2014 EFI Firmware 2.8 Hanging?

Has anyone had an issue with their Macbook Air (mid-2014 or other) hanging on boot (Apple logo and spinner) after downloading and installing the 2.8 firmware update?
I updated mine through Software Update. It's been sitting on that screen for at least 20 minutes now. I've tried rebooting and it just goes back to that screen.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1749?v...S&locale=en_US
Thanks,
Rob

Erasing the partition, reinstalling Mavericks, and restoring from Time Machine seems to have done the trick. At least I wasn't bricked. But I would recommend having a fresh backup before the little notification from System Update (yes, this update came through System Update) pops up. Hopefully my experience is unique.

Usb pin bend in macbook air(mid 2011,bought in april 2012) demands a complete replacement of the logic board which costs around $500.Is it justified?

I had recently purchased a macbook air mid 2011 in india (surat) and to my surprise two out of four pins of the usb slot on the right side got bent while trying to insert a usb pendrive.I was shocked when the store said that it was a physical damage and it will not be considered in the warranty(apple care protection plan) and i would have to pay around $500 to replace the logic board with the new one since the usb port was directly mounted on it.
I have been using the usb port since the time it had came to market and i know how to plug in a usb drive.There is no case of inserting the usb pendrive inverted as the structure of the usb port itself explains it.
I have already read the discussions on such an issue and many people have got the logic board repaired by the company.
But i will be thankful to the person who has gone through the same situation and put forward his experience about how to get a "fast response repair from apple" in response to this discussion.

Applecare was no help at all. I called and did the complaint. They confirmed that it is registered to me and everything but essetially told me that they cant give me answers as to what is taking so long. They knew a repair was in progress but wanted to set me up with an appointment at an apple store? (the nearest Apple retail store is Billings which is 240 miles away, or about 4 hours). i tell them its at the repair place and they go on to tell me they can send me a box to mail it in and have it reapir by them.. They are trying to shift the blame to the AASP and his rep. But he said he has been trying with very few answers from Apple as well
