MBA 2013 Powering Off By Itself. Does anyone else have this issue?

A few minutes after I unboxed my MBA mid 2013 and started setting it up the machine started shutting down by itself. It wont let me restore, reinstall OSX or anything because it shuts itself down before it can complete the process with 90%+ battery remaining. Going to get it looked at today.
I'm pretty bummed out because I wanted to take this to a conference next week in CA instead of my elderly 2010 MBP.
Any idea what might be causing it? Has anyone else seen this behavior on the new MBA?

It sounds like its over heating to me, leave it switched off for half an hour and try to confirm in istatspro (dashboard) that the exhaust fan is running.
They'll probably just swap it stright out for you.
good luck.

After updating to IOS 8, my cellular enabled iPad will show "no service" unless turned off and completely rebooted. Does anyone else have this issue?

After updating to IOS8, my iPad 2, which has both AT&T cellular and wifi, needs to be completely turned off and rebooted to get cellular service. Does anyone else have this issue ?

Hi Hi Steve Giusto,
If you are having issues with Xxx_state issue here_xxX, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close

Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

My RDIO app no longer works on my iPad. Does anyone else have this issue?

My RDIO app is not working on my iPad since they did an update. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hi klucas54,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the RDIO app is not working after the app was updated, start with the helpful troubleshooting tips in this article:

My ipad2 doesnt connect to wifi as well as my original ipad, does anyone else have this issue?, my ipad2 doesnt connect to wifi as well as my original ipad, does anyone else have this issue?

If this does not help, please post the make and model of your Wi-Fi router. Maybe there is a way to monitor the connections from the router side.
Even if the iPad2 has a bad Wi-Fi radio or antenna , the chance of you getting another one should be small. Also if you go to an Apple Store, I am sure you will be able to test it before you leave the store.
Actually, my bet is riding on sibling rivalry.

HT4314 My Game Center is not letting me log in on my ipad but I have no issues with my iPhone. Does anyone else have this issue lately.

My Game Center is not letting me log in on my ipad but I have no issues with my iPhone. Does anyone else have this issue lately. This has just stared recently. When I go to Game Center is just trying to load continuously.

I have the same exact problem. I have literally done everything that everyone says works but it hasn't solved mine. I went to the Recieved at and It has my number and my email right under neath it but I can not select my Number. My Email is clickable but my number is like a super faded grey not like you can't see it but it is not close to black.
PLEASSEEE HELP!!!!

I'm using imessage and do not want to use sms in some cases. I have the settings turned off so its not supposed to use SMS but it still does anyway. Does anyone else have this issue?

Recently upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5. I have a problem with imessage and sms. I have some contacts that I don't want to send sms to ever. So I set the "Send As SMS = off" thinking it would not ever send sms(unless I set it to). However, in the middle of imessage conversation with almost a full 3G signal it just sent as SMS. Then back to imessage. Totaly ignored the do no send sms setting.Has anyone else seen this issue? I wish the they would seperate these two apps so they could never cross up. Some people only have data and others have both.

Mouse and keyboard stop working ocassionally and I have to re-boot the computer. does anyone else have this issue?

I have a pwoer Mac with a dual quad processor and current os. If I turn off the computer at night and power up the next day my wireless mouse and keyboard do not work nor does my hardwired mouse. I have to hold the power button to re-boot the computer to get it to work.

Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.
And/or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Does anyone else have this issue where Only a few files do not sync?

Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Sync Does Not Work! Adobe Cannot Figure Out Why. In the creative cloud folder the green check-marks that indicated that the file is synced do not appear anymore.

Wow! I am sorry to hear that! 100 files is Major. Really 1 file is too much with all the claims being made by Adobe. I have had 2 chat sessions and a 3 hour phone call and still no avail. I have used the creative cloud cleaner I have wiped it from my system re-downloaded several times updated to the latest version. Now I know It isn't just Me. Thank You For Your Valuable Time! OK ADOBE Needs to get on this pronto, we are losing work and the problem is on Mac And PC. Very interesting. If You absolutely must force a sync You must do it online in your creative cloud website:( Hopefully this will be resolved soon. If you have a breakthrough please let me know. Thanks.

My machine meets requirements, I cannot install??? does anyone else have this issue?

here is the error I am getting.
ERROR: ASU has quit unexpectedly.
ERROR: Media DB Error : 18

What software are you trying to download and install?
Possible solutions:
1) Simply reboot the machine and retry to install.
2) Try to install in silent mode.
If you're on a Mac, try the following:
1) ShutDown you Mac
2) Boot the Mac while holding down the shift key untill the Login Window appears. This boots in the safe mode.
3) Login and open the CS6 Disk Image
4) Copy the contents of the disk image (Blue PS Icon) to the desktop
5) Launch the installer from the desktop NOT the Disk Image
7) Reboot the Mac so that the without the Shift key to re-enable the system extensions
Hope it helps

Hi my iphone 4s keeps droping facetime calls and restarting my wifi router home and work. does anyone else have this issue?

I previously had the iphone 4 and on the same routers never droped a facetime call nor did my wifi router restar... is this a 4s issue??? pls help

I'm willing to bet it's dropping the connection because the router is rebooting. Try updating the firmware of the router. If that doesn't stop it re-starting spontaneously, I'd look into a new router.

Hey i can connect to the internet and use the wifi but at random times it just disconnects to it leaving me using my data sometimes w/o knowledge cause of watching youtube does anyone else have this issue if or have any recomendations on how to fix it?

it hasnt happened before the update just would like for it to stop

HI again Andy,
The last message had some more stuff in between the "Hello" and "Regards" - I have no idea what happened to it. But nevermind...
I started up the Mini with the modem in one usb, and the speaker system in the other (M-Audio Sonica Theatre) - I have one of the Minis that have only 2 USB (and one FireWire) ports. The firewire has the external drive connected to it.
So far, as I"m typing this, I AM able to be online and use iTunes simultaneously. (both SaFari and iTunes respond slower than if I was using only one or the other, but they ARE actually working - in addition to having Adium running) - So I think what you suggested ( that is was something wonky was the USB hub) was a correct, yet assessment.
Would you have any reccommendations for USB hubs? The only thing that I have connected to the hub under normal circumstances that would be constantly "running" would be the RadioShark (even though the Radio soft isn't playing - the blue light on the RadioShark is always on) - and the speakers naturally. Everything else is of the occassional variety - iPod Sync Cable, Dual Layer External DVD Burner, and a "pass thu" to the USB ports on my Hard Drive Enclosure (which had been unplugged before the problem was noticed). The hub I current use is the
Kensington DomeHub USB 2.0 (7 ports) Weighted Hub 33118 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref= sr16/002-4275642-8664817?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187848108&sr=8-6
which (I thought) worked better than the "throwaway" ones I had used previously.
You think it is the hub or something connected to it that may be causing the problem?
Regardless, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Almost everytime I sign into Game Center or into a game itself my iPad goes back to desktop. Does anyone else have this problem?

I'm having a lot of problems sometimes signing into Game Center, or when the game itself is loaded I will click on something and it pretty much crashes and goes back to desktop! This is very annoying. Just not sure why this keeps happening. Does anyone else have this problem and know what the cause of it may be?

My guess would be you don't have enough memory available to run the games that you are trying to play. This is not supposed to happen in iOS - but I have seen too many instances to believe that the iOS can handle it properly all of the time. My suggestion would be to close all apps in the recents tray, reboot and start over again and see if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
The problem could be something else software related and restoring the device might help, but I would start with this and see how it goes.

Does anyone else have this video problem?!?!?

So, This is ATV #2. The first one got sent back because during play, after 30 mins, TV would go black. ATV light would still be on, but no audio, video......Also when in standby, no audio/video would work when We brought it out of standby.
ATV #2 didn't have any problems...... Till now. Now it plays, but like the last one, when in standby, doesn't want to come out....No audio/video..... At first thinking it was the ATV, but could it be the tv?
I have a 46" Sony Bravia...Everything else works fine on the TV. Does anyone else have this problem of it not waking up from standby????
It's driving me crazy!!! Any help or advice will be much appreciated!!!!!!

Next time it happens switch to a different input on the TV, then switch back and see if you have video, or turn the TV off and then turn it back on again. It's possible it could be the TV, for example, if it ignores the input after a certain period of inactivity and fails to detect when the ATV comes out of standby. It could be an HDMI issue between the ATV and your TV. A number of people have experienced HDMI anomalies with specific make and model TVs.
