Macbook Air reboots randmoly

Hey guys,
My new Macbook Air (bought one mounth ago) reboots automaticaly. It happens randomly, usually when I'm using Safari or Skype. It shuts down without any warning and log-out process, and it's keyboard keeps unresponsive about 1-2 minutes and then boots up automatically. I'm not using any "Disk cleaning app". I have reinstalled OS but unexpected reboots keeps happening.

Since your system is new, contact Apple support, in the US at (800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273).  If you're not in the US, see 'contact us' at the bottom of your country Apple web site.

  • 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.

  • Safari 7.06 and macbook Air reboots

    since installing this update my macbook air from mid-2012, continues to crash and reboot every 15-20 minutes. It seems to be related to Safari and not as much a problem if I'm in google chrome. what's with this ? I have all the latest updates. The processor is 1.7 GHz & it has 4 GB  1600 MHz DDR3 & it seems to have plenty of memory when I check the activity log. Should I look somewhere else?

    Thank you! here it is:

  • 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.

  • 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 rebooting from Find My iPhone Lost Mode won't let me boot up, even when holding Option upon booting up

    Using Find My iPhone, I set my MacBook Air I thought was lost to Lost Mode. However, when it was returned to me, upon booting up, it showed a flashing folder with a question mark. After some research I found out you were supposed to hold Option upon boot up. This resulted in a password screen, where I entered the passcode I have entered with Find My iPhone, however I cannot access any WiFi network, as it doesn't show any and being next to my router and putting in the details isn't accepted, and booting up from Macintosh HD just results in a dark grey screen.

    I resolved the issue. After launching from Macintosh HD, I held down Shift, and then it prompted me for my PIN, which was the same as the code I entered on Find My iPhone, and then it relaunched and let me log in. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but it seems very inconvenient and not intuitive if it's intended.

  • My MacBook Air reboots unexpectedly when I download purchased apps or try to update apps.

    I have a second MacBook Air that is configured the same and this issue doesn't arise on that one. This problem only arose in the last few days and I'm at a losss to figure out what is causing it.

    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

  • Mid 2012 MacBook Air Troubles (Random Reboots & No Camera)

    Hello, I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I have a mid 2012 Apple MacBook air that I am having problems with. Ever since I bought this laptop from my friend, it has randomly rebooted during sleep mode, and the FaceTime camera has not worked. I was told that water has been spilled on it at one point, but I have went over the entire computer and do not see any sort of damage. Because I was not having any luck getting it to quit the rebooting, and because the camera would not work, I purchased a replacement motherboard and battery.
    The new parts arrived today, and I quickly installed them. I was instantly having the same exact problems. The computer will still reboot when I close the lid to put it in sleep mode. It instantly starts rebooting after about 2 to 3 minutes. And it will continue to reboot over and over until I reopen the lid. In addition the camera is still not detected, and I have double checked under the system properties that it is not showing up under the USB tab. I have cleared the PRAM & SMC, still no changes. As a last ditch effort, I decided to reinstall OSX 10.9 Mavericks as a fresh install. No go...
    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to get this thing running properly? I bought it because I wanted to use it for some home-video editing, and in its current condition I don't feel that it is trustworthy. The only things left that I can replace, would be the display or the thunderbolt daughterboard. I already previously had replaced the SSD with a larger 256 GB, and I tried swapping out the wifi card as well. I'm banging my head against the wall here, and really want to be able to use this computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Unless you get the answer you need here, I would contact Apple MacBook Air Support or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Macbook Air random freeze and reboot, plus other problems

    I've had my Macbook Air for about 6 weeks and am having several issues. It is the 13" model, special ordered with 8GB of ram so it came straight from the factory. I copied all my data over from a mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro using migration assistant, and for the most part it has been a wonderful machine. There are a few problems, however, and now it is getting more serious.
    First, I visited my closest Apple store to have them look at the wifi and bluetooth connection. It was not picking up wifi after waking up, and the same for my bluetooth mouse. They replaced some files and tested it out and it appeared to be fixed, but the problem persists. At least 50% of the time when I wake it up after leaving for 30-60 minutes, I click the mouse and it wakes up, but then there is no response when I move or click the mouse again. I often have to turn the mouse off and on several times to get it to connect.
    Wifi is the same, though not as bad. Probably 10% of the time, it will not connect to a known wifi spot after wake. Sometimes it even tells me that none of my trusted networks are available, even when the network I use everyday is listed as available. This is a minor inconvenience, but it is a problem I never had with the macbook pro. Instead of picking up wifi within 10 seconds of wake, it can take as long as 60-90 seconds.
    Now the real issues begin. Yesterday morning I stepped away from the computer for a few minutes, and when I returned it had rebooted itself. I do not know why. Only a few programs were running, nothing like system update that would restart the computer. I did a search online but could not find anything recent enough to point to a possible problem.
    Then this morning it froze while I was using it. Mouse and keyboard (both external and the ones on the laptop) stopped responding. After a few minutes of waiting I finally shut it down by holding the power button until it turned off. This was alarming, especially less than 2 months after buying the machine. I will likely make an appointment at the Apple store again but these issues happen randomly and if I can't reproduce it they have little hope of diagnosing the problem.
    Has anyone else had similar issues? I have run system update and nothing else is pending. This weekend I may restore it to factory settings and load all my data manually instead of copying from timemachine, but that is a royal pain. I'm looking for any suggestions of what to do because I planned to use this computer for years and the first 6 weeks have been very frustrating.

    It is probably best to return to the Apple store for assistance, however, you do have 90 days of phone (in the US 800-275-2273) access to Apple which you can use too. If you buy Applecare anytime in the first year of ownership, the warranty and phone access is extended for a total of 3 years coverage  (warranty and phone).

  • My macbook air does not start up successfully. when i turn on the power, it just turn blue after the apple logo, how to reboot or repair,.. pls help me what is the buttons command... thanks in advance.

    pls help me how to reboot my macbook air,.. because starting it up was not successful. the screen just turns blue after the apple logo appeared.

    i know loads of people who have had this problem including me.  The Java script update apparently had some virus that has overloaded the start up disk.   I took to apple who said i have to have the machine rebuilt but first i have to go to a data recovery company to get back everything that was on it.  Data recovery company have quoted me nearly £1000. 

  • MacBook Air fails to wake and reboots instead after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi,
    I've got a MacBook Air, 2011, 13', that has been working fine for a few years already. I upgraded to Mavericks two days ago and so far it has been working great except for one irritating issue - it keeps rebooting my system instead of waking up the computer from sleep after some long sleep cycles. For instance, I was working on my MacBook for the whole day yesterday and put it to short sleep for a few times and everything worked fine. But when I put my Mac to sleep and got back home and tried to awake it, I saw a rebooted login screen, and the system suggested that I should send a crash report to Apple.
    The exact same thing happened just a few minutes ago when I awoke my Mac from a night-long sleep.
    On Lion and Mountain Lion, I never had such issues.
    Is this an issue with Mavericks that I should fix somehow?
    Thanks for your replies.

    Well, since upgrading to Mavericks, I started watching a movie. Suddenly the screen dims and then goes black. Trying to waken my MBA means I need to restart. I have turned off all the sleep fuctions for the monitor and the hard drive. Still is happening??

  • I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    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
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    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.
