Mavericks update for MacBook Air

Since updating my MacBook Air software last week, I have slow internet connectivity and I am also finding it almost impossible to connect to FB.  The mobile app is working fine.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
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.
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • 10.8.2 update for Macbook Air 13".

    I have a Macbook Air 13" that I got a few days ago and it wont update to 10.8.2 yet. My other family members have laptops and they have already updated theres. Mine just keeps saying "an error occured, please try again". Has this happened to anyone? If yes what could I do?
    Thank You.
    P.S I have tried about 6 times, it loads for about 30 minutes then stops.

    Give this a try:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • 10.6.7 update for MacBook Air to address iTunes freeze issue

    Yes MacBook Air owners, there is an update:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1370

    It may be an update that is labeled for the 13, but I didn't download it from there. I got my "supplemental update" by clicking on the apple at the top left and selecting "Software Update". The supplemental update appeared, I downloaded it and all is well for now...

  • Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week. 
    Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
    Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
    Fix:
    With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
    It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
    Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Mar 15, 2014 9:05 AM (in response to Terence Devlin)
    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • Since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg

    since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg any ideas how to sort it out?

    I am having the same issue with Media Temple Email.
    My problem in more detail is:
    Adding my Media Temple Hosted domain email to a desktop service on my Macbook Air.
    I have tried this on both Mac Mail and Thunderbird.
    I add the account manually and have checked, double checked, triple checked the server addresss and also the user name and password and they are correct.
    I have altered the ports from being default to custom and have tried both SSL and non SSL and still it is unable to connect to the SMTP server.
    IMAP inbox is working as I recieve mails but can not send them.
    I have chatted to Media Temple and they say it must be something to do with the hardware of the MacBook Air which to start with I disagreed with but I have since tried adding the email to my Mac Mini and it works fine.
    I am assuming their is an issue in the MacBook Air with the SMTP ports and I would really appreciate some advice on how to fix this as I don't want to use Webmail for ever.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Updated osx and flash storage for macbook air and now i can't start up

    I updated my macbook air, and now when it restarts I get a circle with a line through it, then the apple, then the screen turns blue, and then it takes me right to the disk utility.  It wont boot my desktop.  Help!

    You say you updated the flash storage.  I'm guessing you just recently had it replaced by an Authorized Apple Service Center, perhaps as part of the replacement program.
    If that's true, take it back to the Authorized Apple Service Center and have them fix it so the new flash drive boots for you.  They should have done that originally.

  • Is Mac's firewall sufficient or is will an additional firewall help?  What security suite do you recomend for MacBook Air with Maverick?

    Is Mac's firewall sufficient or is will an additional firewall help?  What security suite do you recomend for MacBook Air with Maverick?

    Third party security software is better at causing problems then it is at solving them.
    I recommend against them.
    If you felt it is necessary then configure the firwall software included with OS X.

  • Is Mavericks.app for iMac same as that for Macbook Air?

    I downloaded Mavericks.app for my iMac and then used the same installer (mavericks.app) to upgrade my Macbook Air 2013. The upgrade was smooth; but the battery life isn't very great.
    Can someone confirm that there's Mavericks upgrade for iMac is the same as that for Macbook Air?

    Thanks! Haven't had any problems with the software; except that I'm not happy with the battery life my MBA 2013, 13" offers after the upgrade. Looks like time to reset PRAM and SMC.

  • HT4942 I want to be able to update info in Numbers by either iPhone, iPad or MacBook Air.  Do I need to purchase Numbers separately for MacBook Air?

    I want to be able to update info in Numbers by either iPhone, iPad or MacBook Air.  Do I need to purchase Numbers separately for MacBook Air?

    Yes.  Numbers for the Mac is a different program than the app for the iPhone and iPad.  It can be purchased from the Mac App store.

  • How do I update my Macbook Air 10.6.8 to a newer version?

    How do i update my Macbook Air 10.6.8 to a newer version

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click here, and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.

  • Apple's Replacement Program for Macbook Air mid-2012

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to know more about apple's replacement program for Macbook Air mid-2012. I updated the said firmware and then my mac air stops working. However, according to the program, they are replacing it free of charge. I just went to an authorized service provider here in the Philippines and I just want to know if I will be paying any. I can't find good discussions in Google. Thanks.

    You should not, as the replacement program is worldwide. In case the reseller refuses to repair your Mac for free, print this website and take it with you

  • Where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
    They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while.  If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

  • Which wi-fi speakers are recomended for MacBook Air

    Which wi-fi speakers are recomended for MacBook Air?

    I cannot personally advise because I don't know about those specific models.
    In 10.7, Apple already provides built-in software and updates for many printers. Check the lists below.
    Apple list of Epson printer software included with 10.7:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
    Apple list of HP printer software included with 10.7:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
    Also, Epson and HP both have support web pages where they describe their support for Mac OS X 10.7 and have driver software available to download. There's a good chance the that printer driver software you find online will be more recent than on the CD in the box with the printer, so you'll want to check those sites anyway.
