Macbook Air Not Rebooting

I have a problem with my macbook air and I thought I would post it. It doesn't happen with my macbook pro or iMac or any other older macs in my home. When I go to shut down my macbook air, it closes all application including the finder and then just sits there. There's a circular object going round and round in the middle of the screen, but that's it. I have to physically turn off the Macbook air by pressing and holding the power button. This has happened at least 3 time to me since I got this computer and I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

I've experienced this issue as well. After completing a sync with dot Mac, I disabled iDisk, autosync with dot Mac, and then deleted the MBA from my list of sync'd computers with dot Mac. That seemed to help for a while, but the problem resurfaced shortly there after. As an experiment, I completed the steps noted above, with the exception of deleting all synced computers from the dot Mac list. This has solved the problem on my end.

  • MacBook Air not turn on, after hard disk eject, without guarantee

    Hello i have two macbook air not turning on,
    after ejecting external hard disk, when macbook air is sleeping.
    External hardisk ( 2.5 sata) have one ending of USB Type mini-B
    and two endings of cable (one for data, other for power), of USB Type A
    After next sequence,
    -insert one tail of usb cable into macbook air, the second usb cable into 5v adapter (like iPhone usb adapter)
    -after some time macbook air going to sleep
    -without waking macbook air, pull out the cable what connected into macbook air
    MacBook Air will not turning on.
    even after this instructions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1367
    In nearest AppleStore they say that there is a problem with logic part of notebook,
    And the minimal price of repair will be cost half price of macbook air.
    In other words, they say what they will not searching the problem of this,
    they only will replace mother board.
    Would you suggest other solutions ?
    May be somebody else have this problem ?

    OK. I wasn't quite sure. So, the first thing to try is Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM followed by Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). If neither can be effected then take it in for service as there has been a serious hardware failure.

  • Macbook will not reboot

    Macbook will not reboot, I have tried recomendations from forums, I am conected to an Imac via firewire cable to see if I can reboot from the Imac optical drive with the install disk, Nothimg seems to work, I keep getting the beach ball.

    You need to be more specific than "I have tried recommendations from forums".
    First, which MacBook do you have running what operating system?
    What happens when you try a normal boot?  Do you hear anything? See any video?
    What happens when you try a safe boot, by holding the shift key down when you boot?
    What happens when you boot to your OS X DVD in your system, by holding the C key down when you boot? If you're able to do this, what happens when you run Disk Utility on your hard drive?
    Are you able to run the Apple hardware test?
    Since you have a firewire connection to an iMac, when you go into target disk mode (boot holding T key down) do you see anything on the MacBook screen? Can you see the MacBook's hard drive on the iMac?

  • Macbook air can reboot, but not shutdown+boot :-(

    Hi.
    My MacBook Air (1st generation from 2008) does not start anymore. Only a white screen with a question mark. I booted from USB-DVD and checked the hard disk: some errors. So I formatted the hd and re-installed Snow Leo. As long as I reboot, everything is fine. The disk utility shows no errors.
    However, when I shutdown and try to boot, I only see the white screen with question mark. Resetting the PRAM leads to the same state: Directly after reset, it boots. When I shutdown, it doesn't boot.
    Any ideas? :-(

    Hi Tim, I did not understand it completely before, sorry to ask you twice.
    This looks bad.
    The safe boot does not work either I suppose (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570).
    Better go to Apple repair.
    I am afraid this is some hardware failure.

  • Macbook Air not starting at all

    Hi,
    i have a MacBook Air 11" (mid 2011), purchased in Australia.
    the other day I powered it down, unplugged the power, re-plugged, and it won't start at all.
    no beeps, no fan noise.
    Green light on the Magsafe connector.
    Magsafe power works on a different Macbook.
    checked Magsafe connection for dirt/debris.
    tried with battery unplugged.
    tried with SSD out.
    tried SMC reset.
    ordered and installed a new I/O Board.
    i left it unplugged for a week.
    still nothing,..
    when it has power connected, the top/middle of the keyboard is warmer than the sides, indicating that power is getting in.
    Unfortunately i'm in Mallorca, Spain, with no Genius bar available and only 3rd party repair shops.
    So before I head off to be quoted an exhorbitant amount to replace the main board, are there any other magic suggestions out there ??
    thanks in advance!

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
    If there's no improvement, or if you're not aware of having installed anything that fits the description, post again.

  • MacBook AIR not functioning correctly

    HI everyone,
    I have a 2014 MacBook Air running Yosemite and it has been completely functional until Friday morning when it rebooted itself without any input from myself. I was on a webpage and the screen went white before going to the Apple logo and loading bar. It stays on 50% and does not move... Occasionally after powering it down I cab get to the log in screen but cannot actually log in (the beachball of death spins and spins)
    I have loaded it in Safe mode but cannot log in, have gone through Disk Utility (Cmd R) and checked the drives are functioning and I have reinstalled the OS. Just now i have done a PRAM check too... I am totally stuck now and if anyone has some advice then I am all ears.
    Thanks in advance,
    HQ78

    If you have reinstalled the OS and it still doesn't work, then I'm sorry to tell you it's likely a hardware problem, which needs checking at a Genius Bar in a local Apple Store or at a Certified Service Provider.
    Use this page to find one near you: https://locate.apple.com/country
    If you have none nearby, I suggest you get it sent to Apple to get repaired. To do so, contact Apple Support here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • MacBook Air keeps rebooting during backup to TC

    We got an MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro in our household and just got a Time Capsule to make it easy to back up both computers using time machine.
    I'm not impressed. TC is slower than I expected for a 802.11n networked harddrive. I get a little over 1MB/sec when writing to the disk. Anyway, it took overnight to back up the Pro but subsequent backup were of course faster.
    I never succeeded to back up my Air. It starts backing up. One or two hours later when I check the status the computer has rebooted and backup stopped. This happened 7-8 times. I tried turning off wifi and using an ethernet connection to the TC. It keeps rebooting.
    Anyone knows what's happening here or could give me a pointer to how I can diagnose it further?

  • Macbook Air not seeing external harddrive

    I have a Seagate external drive I use to back up both my Mac desktop and Macbook air laptop. It's usually plugged into the desktop since that's non-mobile, but I unplug it and plug it into the laptop about once a month. It still works on the desktop just fine, the desktop recognizes it and is backing up to it as normal. But this most recent time I plugged the harddrive into my laptop, the laptop doesn't see it at all. Time Machine says it'll backup "when disk is plugged in", it's not showing up in the side of Finder, and it's not showing up in Disk Utility. I tried rebooting the laptop, nothing. I haven't updated the OS to Mavericks yet, though I just did on the desktop and it continues to read the external drive no problem.

    Hi vberardo,
    If you are having an issue with your external hard drive now connecting to your MacBook Air, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    USB and FireWire Quick Assist
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • MacBook Air not functioning properly

    Hi all, my MacBook Air (running on Lion OS X while downloading Mavericks, purchased in 2012) is not functioning properly. Over the summer I tend to not use my laptop a lot since I mainly use it for schoolwork. I had opened my Air for the first time in a while and it was fine - however after that I had left the screen open and the screen went dark. I had left my Air open for a few weeks and when I tried to turn it on, it would not do anything. It would not respond to anything I did and eventually had to restart my computer in SafeMode. I thought I had fixed my problems however a few applications were giving me trouble
    iPhoto would not open at all and after many failed attempts to debug my issues, I had to delete the application from my computer entirely. Eventually I tried to redownload it from the appstore but it wouldn't work so I gave up.
    Recently, I noticed that my Mail application will not open (even though the system preferences for it will). I also noticed that a few of my System Preferences will not open - Energy Saver, Desktop & Screen Saver, and Spotlight.
    I am currently downloading the newest update, Mavericks. I did download Mountain Lion, however when I rebooted my laptop over the summer in Safe Mode I must have reverted back to a back up that did not have Mountain Lion downloaded into my computer.
    I am at a loss of what to do.

    check my questions looks similar problem and I have solve it

  • MacBook Air not wake up after sleep

    Hi,
    My MacBook Air(Mid 2012) can't wake up after sleep. I recently updated operation system to Mac OS X Mavericks and now after sleep mode screen goes black and nothing happens after this. Only thing that I could do is hard reboot by pressing power button and boot again. Do anyone have the same issue and suggestions how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance
    Dmitrii

    Same thing here. MBA 2011 working perfectly until I updated to Mavericks.
    It often doesn't wake up fully. It does draw the password input box but there's no text cursor and no input is possible. The mouse cursor is not visible either. Waiting does nothing (tried ~15 minutes, no change). Closing the lid does not put the laptop back to sleep, it's fully frozen and the only way out is a reboot by holding the power button.

           Bring it right back to the Apple store and tell them what they did to try to fix the problem did not work..  They are responsible for fixing it since it is still under warranty.
