Macbook air reboots during screen saving or suspension

Hi,
I bought the Macbook Air in Feb 2011 and everything working quite well. It has been updated to the lates EFI 2.0. Problem: it often reboots while in screensaver and/or during suspension. I run Onyx and nothing wrong. May I ask if any of you have an idea about this problem?
Thanks
Raymond

Do you mean Adobe Flash? I have the player (for browser) but not the full product. Is there a way to halt the system and show the kernel panic screen, instead of rebooting automatically (like Windows BSOD)?
Thanks
Your system logs may still be there even after hard reboot.

Macbook air freezes in screen save mode (Mid 2011 model using Mountain Lion

My MacBook Air freezes during screen save mode & is completely unresponsive. The only option is to press & hold the power button to force a power down then restart the laptop. This issue is not intermittent but happens every time the laptop is in screen save mode for any length of time (+20 mins).
The laptop is a Mid 2011 model. 1.8 GHz i7, 250 GB solid state HD, 13" display with 4 GB RAM. I updated to Mountain Lion latest version about 1 month ago.

Hi there. I'm not using any 3rd party screen saver software, only the standard Mountain Lion supplied stuff.
I did have to get the Genuis Guys to reset my SMC as my battery, fan & power lead were showing problems. Those issues are now solved but this has persisted.
I am considering a reinstal of the OS system but that is a 1 hour download following by ?? hours of waiting for the program to restart.
I'll try using one of the other screen saver options to test that.
Thanks for that idea.

Macbook air reboot freezes with maverick

After updating my Macbook air and during the reboot process the computer froze up at the "Updating your Settings..." screen. However, I am able to use it through the "Guest" account, but I can't access my files from there.
I've trie rebooting a number of times.

Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items. Remove all apps listed there.
Then go to HD > Library > StartupItems. Move all items in the StartupItems folder to the Trash.
Then click Restart from the Apple () menu.

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

How much does it cost to fix an Macbook Air 11 inch screen?
I am pretty sure the LCD is broken because it seemed as if ink was spreading across the screen and it has been broken for a couple months now. Please Help.

I concur with Osmar. That sounds like a valid guess to me.
If you want to know the exact price you will have to take it to the local Apple Store and let them examine it. Then they will tell you your options and the cost for them.
There always it the question of did running with the damaged screen for months cause additional problems which can only be determined by Apple after they examine it. If there is that could add to the cost significantly.

Can I use a macbook air for the screen when using a mac mini?

Trying to figure out if I have a mac mini, can I hook up my macbook air and use the screen from the air to view what is on my mac mini?

No. That feature is only available on iMacs.

Does anyone know when Macbook Airs had matte screens?

I own a mid-2011 13" Macbook Air. I purchased this computer through th Apple website and went through all of the customization options maxing out whatever was available to me. At the time, there was the option to choose a matte or a glossy screen (this is not offered now - just glossy). I chose matte because I had heard about eye strain stories and was uninterested in a glossy screen, especially one just created with a coating (not glass). I have used my computer ever since and it definitely had a matte, anti-glare screen. Nothing like the glossy screens that are offered now. I recently had the screen replaced due to some problems, but they replaced it with a glossy screen. The Apple store is now insisting that it is impossible I ever had a matte screen, as it was never offered, and that I am just making this up, or too stupid to know what screen I was using for 2.5 years, or that it's actually the same screen and I just think it's glossy now because it's "new". I am extremely upset that I'll have to be using a glossy screen now, but more upset at the way Apple has treated me over this.
I wanted to see if anyone else has a non-glossy Macbook Air screen (not a screen protector/anti-glare filter cover thing) or knows anyone who does. My screen did not have the sharp reflections that it does now, I saw it next to a glass screen every day that I used it and the difference was striking. I could sometimes get the purplish not-sharp reflections that did not impede viewing, but nothing like it has now. If anyone else had/has a screen on their macbook air that was anti-glare/matte, please let me know. I know that the Apple Support page for this model of computer states it is only offered in glossy (then, and now).

From
MacBook Air - Wikipedia
and
MacBook Air Tech Specs
it does not appear that MacBook Air has ever had a matte screen.
Maybe the nature of the glossy screen has changed since 2011?

Can anyone tell me why my new macbook air reboots overnight?

If I leave my macbook air on overnight (so I can complete a timemachine backup) I find that when I get up in the morning my mac has rebooted!
I have checked my preferences, in the battery section, under schedule, and I do not have a scheduled reboot in there! (Do I need to check anywhere else?)
Its frustrating as all my ssh sessions I've logged into are now gone every morning. I am used to them being open for weeks on end.
Thank you for any help
Matt.

Champion thankyou!
Clicking advanced in the security and privacy showed me the option to logout after 60minutes of inactivity. Now that is unchecked. I assume this will work overnight, but we shall see
Thanks again!
Matt.

Macbook Air with two screens?

I would like to connect two external screens (Apple Cinema Display + Apple Thunderbolt Display) to one Macbook Air - what the best solution?
best regards

If you have the MacBook Air (Mid 2012) and later, it will support two extrernal displays.
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#18>
A Mini DisplayPort display won't work plugged directly into a Thunderbolt display
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#20>
but will work if you connect a Thunderbolt dock or disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the displays.
