Macbook air slow shutdown

My brand new macbook air 13" seems to have a pretty slow shutdown time (20s+).
As I am new to mac I spent several days trying to find a fix without any succes.
After a shutdown I just ran a console search for a exit timeout and found the following:
01/11/13 00:04:38,068 com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService[261]) Exit timeout elapsed (20 seconds). Killing
I think this might be the problem but I am not sure which terminal command should be used to reduce the killing time.
Could anyone please help me ?

I've just read on another thread that it could be lion 10.7.1. I can't say this for sure since I immediately restored my time machine backup. I'll re-install lion and check it out, then, I'll put my time machine back.
Pffieuw, wish me luck.

  • Will installing windows 8.1 with parallels on a 2013 MacBook Air slow it down and eat up battery time

    Hello, will installing windows 8.1 using Palelles 9 slow down my new 2013 MacBook Air  128 ssd with 8g ram ?
    Also will installing windows cut down on the battery life ( hours per use after a charge ) ? 
    Thank you

    Update: I just tried with Windows 8 via DVD and recieved the same error.

    Howdy.
    Thanks for the replies.  For what it's worth, a simple reboot, the first post install, resulted in a "i'm installing something" status bar (the grey screen with the dark grey status bar)"  Now it's faster.  So sorry about that - I guess I just wasn't done, although Apple maybe should have forced one more restart?  Small thing.
    In the new report below, there are still two [invalid?].  One is cardo - that's my headset for my motorcycle com.  I don't know why it says it's invalid - it works, when I have it installed with a USB cord.  The [invalid?] com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent.plist is weird.  I can't find a good article on what to do about that, but since it's not that slow anymore, maybe I'll downprioritize.
    Thanks for your responses.

  • HT201250 First generation MacBook Air slow on Lion OS

    My macbook air 2GB 667Mhz DDR2 1.8GHz intel core 2 duo was just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.7. It was Ok for a while but now its slow. i found out that it uses up to 1.9GB of CPU memory to process requests. do i downgrade to 10.6 or install updates? i really need help with this cos i cant really do anything without the beach ball rolling. This is my first mac xperience....

    How many GB's of RAM does your Macbook Air have installed?  You can click on the upper left hand Apple Icon in the Menu Bar>select "About This Mac">and read the line about "Memory" installed:
    Lion 10.7 is more Memory intensive than previous versions of OS X and really needs at least 4 GB's of RAM minimum in order to have any system speed.
    Hope this helps

  • Why doesn't my 3-week old MacBook Air 13" shutdown in about 3 seconds anymore? It now takes about 10 seconds to do so.  Last major activity I can think of is the software upgrade which I did yesterday.

    My MacBook Air is barely a month and it suddenly shuts down way slower than it used to.  It used to take just 3 seconds.  I do not have much installed, except for an HP Printer and the MS Office suite.   It shut down just as fast even after I installed them.. I noticed it shut down at least about 10 seconds sometime after I updated the software yesterday to Mac OS X version 10.7.1.  Is this nornal?  I would prefer the snappier shut down process.:-(

  • MacBook Air slow on airport network?

    I've been futzing with my AirPort network to get it into a state wherein it will be both reliable and fast.
    Turns out, those little "settings" things in the AirPort Utility can be really important! I've seen speeds all over the map as I've switched things around and back.
    One consistent observation is that my MacBook Air only gets ~50 percent of the throughput achieved by my other two computers. If I have the network configured as a 5GHz "n" only deal and I'm sitting in the room where the base station lives, I can get 20-22 Mbps from the iMac and MBP, but only about 10 Mbps on the MBA. Down in the dining room, same settings, I get ~10 Mbps from the MBP and 3-5 Mbps out of the MBA.
    Is there something about the MBA that renders it kinda doglike on wireless networks?
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    I accept that there are MANY threads in MANY forums about wifi issues for MBAs and I am rather late in coming to this particular one but am having the same EXCEEDINGLY slow response problem on my late 2011 MBA utilising the latest Lion software.
    This may sound really weird but when I hold my laptop in a 'portrait' position - i.e. on its side - then my speeds shoot up.
    Using Thinkbroadband.com to test my speed, I can consistently go from very slow download speed (often as low as 100kbps! when the MBA is in its normal position) to in excess of 15Mbps (when the MBA is on its side).  The table below shows 6 consecutive tests alternating between portrait and landscape modes.

    I have tried all of the other proposed solutions on every forum and none have worked so far. But this seems to have done the tick - albeit it is totally impractical. I read about issues with the aerial in the screen half of the laptop so this may fall into this category.
    Any thoughts or can someone else try this 'solution' and see if using the MBA on its side has similar results with their own machine?
    Cheers

  • MacBook Air slow to reconnect with wifi

    We just got a new 13" macbook air and it's very slow reconnecting to wifi when it's opened on and off during the day. Every other mac that we have is instantly or stays connected and we're off to the races when we need to email, etc. Shouldn't the AIR (latest model as of july 2013) work as well or better than all our older macs?

    Hi, Richard. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting.  The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • Macbook air slow and sluggish on itunes and safari

    Hi guys,
    I have the 11 inch macbook air with 1.4 ghz 2gigs of Ram and i must say looking through itunes store - simply scrolling up and down through content is very sluggish, slow and jerky, the same applies for certain websites. Its very laggy scrolling up and down. Is this just simply because the specs are low on this macbook air? Im not impressed, i spent £999 on this when i could have spent the same amount on a macbook pro which would have been way faster. Any suggestions? Do you think apple would swap this for a Macbook pro? Ive had it for around 2 months now. Thanks Russ

    I agree...I haven't seen these issues. I do see differences in web speed depending on where I'm at - I'm at my daughters place right now, and it's not as responsive as mine at home (sheer internet speed issue). As for any jerkiness, etc...I haven't seen it at all.
    As for your MBA pro being faster - though the specs might show that, my experience says different. I just put up 3 MacBook Pro's 15" at work (i5 core processors). This MBA is much faster than they are for basic and other functions. (it's the Flash-based HD that allows this). Up to you.
    As for the return, Apple has a 14 day return policy - usually no questions asked. After that amount of time, the won't take a return, but you can talk to Apple (since you're still covered for phone assistance for 90 days from purchase).
    Right now, I'd suggest that.

  • MacBook Air slow wifi at times, unreliable internet

    i have the 2012 macbook air.version 10.8.5
    it works super good HOWEVER, sometimes my wifi and internet can get really slow. I doubt its my new AC airport extreme because the internet on every other device in my house works perfectly.
    its just my macbook air that at very random times, will seem to have extremely slow wifi. like it will take 30 seconds to load google. and i've tried multiple sites and it still doesn't work.
    this will happen about every week or so for a couple of hours. when i connect to a different network, my mac will no longer have any internet speed issues
    is anyone else having these problems?

    Power Cycle
    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

  • MacBook Air Slow On Internet

    Why s my MacBook Air so very slow on the internet?  I installed Google Chrome about 5 days ago but it seemed to slow the Mac down, so I uninstalled it by dragging to Trash.  Finder assures me that it's no longer on my Mac.  However, my Mac is slower than ever, to the point of almost being useless.  Why is this?  It is only about 1 month old.

    Thanks for EtreCheck.  Here is my report.  What do I do?
    It means nothing to me - I'm not good with computers.

    Thanks a brod and Lex! Ok I did the stuff you suggested. I also tried uninstalling Java via terminal and according to Oracle it should be uninstalled but I'm not sure. Seems to be running much better but it generally does at the beginning after a restart I think. Here's my updated EtreCheck log:

  • MacBook Air slow since Yosemite update...

    Hello everyone,
    My relatively new MacBook Air (purchase just over a year ago) has become almost completely unresponsive and freezes when doing even the smallest of tasks - opening numbers and PDF documents, of checking mail. This seems to have happened since up updated the latest Yosemite and has made the computer almost unusable (having to write this on my windows laptop). Any suggestions? I read somewhere that there can be a problem with the new software and old programmes not working together?
    Thanks!
    Liam 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Macbook air 2012 Shutdown problem!!

    Hi all! I have a problem with my Macbook air 2012. OS 10.9.5.
    This morning my sound were not working so i rebooted my machine. And here the problems start. My macbook now goes into sleep mode after 5 Seconds! And when it does so, i have to unplug/plug magsafe to get it back on. Then another 5 seconds before it shuts down again. I have tried SMC and PRAM resets. I am not able to do a erase+reinstall because the Internett is lost every 5 seconds due to the black screen. However when i pressed OPTION+ON button to get into the reboot menu the screen didnt shut down. Until I clicked on Recovery, then it started again.  So, has anyone had the same problem? Any solutions? Is there a connection to the no-working sound? Help is extremely appriciated!  :-)
    I can still charge my phone while the screen goes black, if thats helpful for you guys.

    It will be longer for the first shutdown, but should be faster thereafter. But then how much longer is it? I have a couple systems where it takes at least 15 seconds to shutdown.

  • Late 2010 macbook air slow to wake from sleep

    Hi, my late 2010 macbook air running mountain lion is slow to wake from sleep, so when i lift the lide the screen is unreactive and it take approx a minute before I am able to enter my password, I am just wondering if anyone else had had this problem and has any solutions because its annoying, I have also noticed that when my macbook is on charge this doesn't happen!
    Thanks!!

    Hi shaners2491!
    I would suggest that you attempt to reset a part of your computer's software called the System Management Controller. Information on doing this can be found here:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden
