Mba-2012 freezes, ways to diagnost

Hello all! Here is my situation:
- 13 inch mba 2012, i7 2.0, 8GB, 256GB
- lastest OS X with the lastest update available on this moment
- freezes from time to time. From time to time means 3-4 per month, or 1 per 2 month, randomly but not very often.
Characteristics of freezing:
- totaly, only restarting only using power button
- freezes in 98 windows style if such ajective is possible. Generally all sounds (music, system, video) hangs with a hickups. All other keeps being still. No mose move no nothing.
As for me it seems like hardware problem may be SSD or memory, but I have no idea how to investigate this kinda of issue.
I have a ligal US warranty but I'm a Ukrainian citizen and have no option for a official service. I probably could bring it to third party service center, but it is my only one laptop for work and entertaiment so, it is the last option that I'd prefer.
the question to the community is foollowing:
- does somebody have the same issues, especially on the same hardware?
- any ideas for diagnostic and investigation methods? how to parse logs?
- can I get some assistance from US apple tech support? (I have leagal warranty yet)
From my side I'm ready to give you all necessary information about this case. Hoping to get some help here
Cheers!

Your description fits my problem exactly.
MBP Retina, current OS.
I took it to Apple for diagnostics, and the genius ran hardware and disk checks and both came back okay.
She looked at the console log, and immediately said software. Wipe and reinstall.
I asked if there was something less drastic.
She brought up that Google Drive was a possible cause. I disabled that and got the freeze a week later.
I've started disabling/uninstalling other system-level add-ons like Box.com.
These are what else I have to try:
Dropbox
Monosnap
Flash
Chrome
I had suspected Chrome and/or Flash, but sometimes the crashes happened in iPhoto or other apps.
Looking at login items just now and see that Google Drive is still showing as sort of installed, with a blank icon and a yellow warning - "This item couldn't be found". Box helper is the same way. I'll kill those, too.
Other troubling detail. I had similar crashes on my iMac that I previously used, and Time-Machine migrated to the new MacBook. So, further support that it's something in the software I'm running.
The good news is that the SSD and speed of the MacBook boots again very quickly.

Diadem 2012 Freezes on Initialization Screen on Windows 7 mahcine

I have recently had a problem starting Diadem 2012 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. The program had been running without any problems for over a year. With no other system changes Diadem 2012 freezes during the initial start/initialization window. I have tried restarting several times and have also attempted to uninstall and reinstall Diadem 2012. None of these strategies have correctd the problem. I was curious if anyone else has had any problems similar to this and if they found a solution to correct the problem. Any help of be of great assistance.
Thank you in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Amanda -
We were able to completely uninstall and then reinstall Diadem 2012 successfully. However, after reinstalling we were still freezing on the start-up/initialization screen. Diadem never fully loads, the Windows process just goes to 0. We attempted to close all applications and try to start Diadem, in case it was a RAM issue. However, this did not solve the problem either.
We previously have not had any issues with this and currently it is only happening on one machine. Is it possible that Diadem is freezing because it is trying to index a folder structure or something? I trided to turn of the data indexer, but that didn't seem to help. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

My Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) freezes or is slow to login

Hi, so this issue has occured for a while, but my Macbook Pro 13-inch Mid-2012 freezes occasionally on my login screen. A couple of things happen when it does this.
Either it freezes and there is no blinking cursor in the password box and I can't move the trackpad/if I do move the trackpad it just turns into a spinning beach ball for 20 seconds and then it finally allows me to log in. When I log in, for a few minutes everything on my computer is sluggish, for example going to my launchpad takes time and opening up applications takes time.
Or, it will do all of what I just stated above but it is preceded by a sound as if it were booting up from shut down (that mechanical disk sound that always happens right when you press the power button to boot up the computer) and then following this, the screen is brightened a lot and there is a white loading bar at the bottom of the screen towards the middle. The loading bar is like 15 or so transluscent white horizontal lines that become solid white to indicate loading. This may take a few seconds and then it does exactly what I stated in the previous paragraph.
This issue has happened for a while, and I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help! It's frustrationg to have to take 30 or more seconds to wake up my computer and begin using it.
I am running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on a Macbook Pro 13-inch (Mid 2012) with 4 GB of RAM and 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor.

When I log in, for a few minutes everything on my computer is sluggish, for example going to my launchpad takes time and opening up applications takes time.
User Tip: Why is my computer slow?
What to do when your computer is too slow
Speeding up your Mac
It's frustrationg to have to take 30 or more seconds to wake up my computer and begin using it.
Check your System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items. Get rid of and/or delete all that you do not need or want.
==================
If you found no solutions to your problem(s) listed in the various Knowledge Base Articles see if the following suggestions are of any help:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices/peripherals from your computer.
Step 1: Restart into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key during startup. The comp will run a complete & lengthy file system check, then start up w/only the required kernel extensions & w/o running any Startup items that you installed.
If you are running OS 10.4 it will also perform some font finagling.
Try starting up normally again. If you are still stalling, restart in Safe Mode & move on to Step 2...........
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Step 2: Open Library>Startup items folder-the *root* level Library, not the one in your user name folder.
Look for potentially problematic 3rd party items such as virus scanning software components, etc. Remove 1 or more items to a location outside the Library folder, such as the Desktop, then restart normally & see if your Mac stalls. It it does, try removing all the items in the Startup items folder & restart. If all’s now well, place the items back into the Startup items folder 1 by 1, restarting each time you put one back. If and/or when the stall resurfaces, you just identified the faulty component.
If the above does not work, then it’s time to move on to Step 3.................
Step 3: WARNING-This step can be tedious-removing .plist files from the /Library/Preferences folder.
Remove the entire Preferences folder from the Library folder on your startup drive then place the files back 1 by 1 until you see the problem return. *The Mac will automatically create a new Preferences folder in the Library folder*
Alternatively, you can take half of the items out (all non-Apple .plist file, for example), restart to see if your Mac stalls, then move to a smaller set of items, repeating the process until the culprit is found.
Or you can use Preferential Treatment which is a *FREE* utility that does all the work for you.
Hang in there & good luck!!!!

Connecting MBA 2012 to three External Displays

I am looking to purchase a 2012 MBA, contingent upon connecting to three external displays. As the MBA 2012 has a USB3.0 and a Thunderbolt port, I plan to use -
- A Plugable UGA-2K-A USB 2.0 adapter to convert the USB3.0 to a HDMI/DVI input on a 21 monitor (For text only)
- Use a DualHead2Go Digital SE to connect it from the Thunderbolt port to the HDMI/DVI inputs of the two external monitors (run two different applications and not a stretched image)
I am wondering if this would work (albeit with minimal lag) or if are there any other alternatives to hooking it up to three external monitors. Thanks

Did you ever get this figured out?

Reinstall Mountain Lion on MBA 2012

Hey
How do i reinstall ML on my MBA 2012? I dont have any install media and i dont have mountain lion on appstore (I have to buy it... weird since my MBA came with mountain lion...).

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.

MBA 2012 shut down time

What is the normal range of shutting down a MBA 2012, mine seams not right

Just did a test on shut down time and start time,
MBA 2012 ML OS
Shut down time: 23 sec, shutting down with no app running,
Start time: 12 sec,
does this means something wrong with my MBA?

AirPlay icon not appearing on Yosemite with MBA 2012

I'm running a MBA 2012 with Yosemite 10.10.2. I'm able to use other Airplay devices on the network, eg: iPad Mini 2 to AppleTV 2, iPhone 5S to Sony Airplay speakers, etc. All of the devices connect to the same home wireless network and wireless SSID. The firewall is turned off on the MBA, and yes, Airplay is listed as supported for this MBA. The checkbox under System Preferences|Displays there, but it can't find any Airplay devices to extend the display on.
The MBA 2012 under Mavericks seemed to work fine with Airplay, but I lost that in the Yosemite upgrade. Strangely enough, I did a clean install of Yosemite to a flash drive and the Airplay icon did appear. So obviously there's something wrong with my MBA, but I don't know where to look and the usual searches were pretty worthless.Is there a service that is just not running? If so, which one?

That link is not really helpful and I've already gone through them as listed in the original post. Doesn't matter if Wifi or connected via Ethernet. This has nothing to do with iTunes (which is version 12.1). Other devices on the network (iPad, iPhone, other Mac) can do Airplay just fine so it's not a network issue of ports being open or blocked. The firewall on the Mac is turned off. Bonjour is turned on. Airplay is enabled on the AppleTV and the Sony Airplay speaker is turned on and available to other devices. In System Preferences, Sound|Output, the ability to select the speaker isn't an option.
So the questions that remain are:
1) Is there a service that I need to make sure that starts upon bootup? If so, which one?
2) Is there some overlooked network setting that might be preventing this?

MBA 2012 Windows 8.1 WiFi requires Thunderbolt Ethernet dongle to be connected

Using MBA (2012 version) with Windows 8.1. WiFi will not work unless the Thunderbolt Ethernet dongle is physically connected at bootup (even if no actual network cable is connected to it). If the Thunderbolt dongle is not connected at time of bootup (inserting the dongle later has no impact), WiFi is in "disabled" status, cannot be re-enabled, and Windows troubleshooting agent reports a driver problem. Tried different drivers but no luck. The machine seems unable to correctly identify the wireless card unless the Ethernet Thunderbolt dongle is also connected, which is very strage as the two would not seem to be related. When the dongle is inserted during boot, however, WiFi works perfectly. The issue is only in Windows (WiFi worked great on Mac OS). Using latest BootCamp 5 drivers package on a clean Windows 8.1 install (not dual boot - I had to erase the Mac OS partition using disk utilities to have more disk space for Windows and so I could install BitLocker hard disk encryption which did not work when the Mac OS partition was present). Any thoughts?

I have confirmed that the thunderbolt Ethernet adapter is working on my MacBook Air Mid 2012. You will need the latest Bootcamp 5.1 drivers (found here: Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621). Also you will need to update Windows like what doduykhuongsaid.
FAQ does state that Boot Camp 5.1 does support Thunderbolt

Thanks guys for the update. It finally worked after quite a few months.

Gaming on MBA 2012 13"

Hi, I bought a 13" MBA 2012 4gb RAM last july and I was quite protective about my laptop. After about 2 months I added windows 8 with bootcamp and added some games like fifa 13 and starcraft. I've been playin fifa 13 for about a week and I can see that my laptop is getting very hot. the fan turns quite fast and the battery seems to be draining fast. I've actually played TF2 right after I bought this laptop but I didnt want my laptop ruined so I stopped. Now Im playing fifa 13 and I became worried about my laptop....
Will the battery life be affected a lot?
Will playing games damage or have any negative effects on my macbook air?
I play games on the highest end while my charger plugged in... Is this fine?
Please give me reccommendations... Thanks
Brian

Brian,
Welcome to Apple Support Forums
MacBook Air's are designed to be a notebook thats used on the move, light weight, long battery life and minimal spec, Although you can play games on it i wouldn't reccomend it, the processors aren't the fastest in the mac range and also air flow is limited due to its sleek design, hence the reason it gets very hot,
so you can continue playing your games but you will soon burn something out, most likely the processor or another vital component,
also with regards to playing them on battery power, the batteries are rated in cycles, from every time you charge it and it reaches 100%, Thats another cycle, so i would recommend leaving it plugged in during game play, but at the same time i can't help but question the fact you are using your macbook air to run windows 8, if your main aim is to play games, graphicially demanding or not, that are only avaliable on windows i would reccomend buying a PC.
I hope this helps

Any MBA 2012 2.0Ghz 8Gb Ram owner using Matlab?

Hello
So i am planning to get either an MBA upgraded to 2.0Ghz processor and 8GB RAM or the MBP retina 15 with 2.6Ghz and 8GB RAM
however, if MBA is good enough in performing numerical modelling then i d rather get it as it is cheaper and much lighter
But i have no idea how would the MBA perform
So if any one has the new MBA (2012 with SSD) and is using MATLAB, i wrote a code and it will be great if i can send it and know exactly how many minutes it took to obtain the results. note that in my old laptop it takes more than an hour to finish.

My 2012 11" get to 104 degrees Celcius before the fans start kicking in to actually do something about it.
Terrible.

MBA 2012 13 i7 8Gb or MBP 2012 13 i7 8Gb

Hi at all,
I need a suggests to choose between MBA 2012 i7 8Gb and MBP 2012 13 i7 8Gb ( anche after I put in SSD ).
I've already a iMAC mid 2011 27" i7QC 3,4.
I heavy work with .NET and Windows for web programming and legacy, mobile applications for iPAD/iPhone and soon, too.
So, I will execute Win7 with Parallels ( or at most with Bootcamp, but I don't like )...
What's your opinions.
Thank you.
Bp

I would go with the 13" MacBook Pro. You can install a SSD and RAM yourself and won't have to rely on those outrageous Apple prices. I also run Parallels instead of Boot Camp. I just recently upgraded to version 8 - with full Mountain Lion support. I've never had a problem with it. I don't like Boot Camp, either.
I would only buy the Air if you're primarily interested in a light piece of gear - the MBP isn't that much heavier and you have far more options with it than the Air.
Just my 2¢...

MBA 2012 13" model, too hot when gaming?

Hi All,
I have a 13" MBA 2012 model. I installed Win7 and played Warcraft III on that. The thing I am worried about is that after playing for a while, the core temperature goes up to somewhere near 100C degree. I am not sure whether this is good for the laptop.
I guess the fan should help somehow but I never heard any noise from the fan. When will the fan starts to operate on high speed?
I think a lot of reviews are saying this 2012 model MBA should be able to play mainstream games, not to mention legancy game like Warcraft III. I know there are softwares I can use to reset the fan speed. But, is that necessary? I hope MBA should be able to handle this not-so-hard problem itself.

You could use a programme to put the fans on. Otherwise get a laptop stand. I used the iLap for ages and its really good. Otherwise get one with fans built in. I'm not sure when the fans are set to cut in but i guess it must be really high as mine have never started up, but my laptop doesnt get hot at all.
Hope it helps,
Ryan

IMac 27" (Late 2012) Freezing and Crashing

I purchased an ex-demo iMac 27" (Late 2012 - 3.4Ghz, 3TB Fusion Drive, Nvidia 680MX 2GB) that was upgraded to 32GB Ram last July.
Since I've recieved it it has intemittantly locked up, occasionally you get the your computers been restarted screen but mostly it just freezes completely. There's no pattern it can be at the login screen, on the desktop with no software running or when any software I use. There's no particular thing that seems to cause it.
I have run the Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode Multiple Times and it reports no issues. I've run MemTest Continuosly for 24 hours and it reports no issue.
I've done clean installs of OSX multiple times (both Mavericks and Mountain Lion) and its had no effect. Even with a barebones OSX install it still freezes so I've ruled out software.
I've switched the RAM to rule out memory - still freezes.
I've used both WiFi and and Ethernet to rule out network - still freezes.
I've removed the Fusion Drive Logical Volume and installed OSX to the SSD and then to the HDD to rule out hard disks. This included zeroing the hard drive to ensure there was no bad sectors etc. This didn't make any difference.
I contacted Apple who told me to take it to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. I took it in to my local AASP they've told me they can't find anything wrong - everything works fine for them.
I'm wondering whether the issues are environmental. I've seen a few reports that "Dirty Power" can cause issues, has anyone had any similar experiences that have been solved by a UPS?
Failing that I'm at a loss at what to do. The iMac is unusable as it freezes every few hours.
Anyone have any ideas of what else I could try?
Thanks,
James

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec sh
in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that takes administrator privileges.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If it happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
