MBA hardware test error code: 4MEM/1/40000000:0x79flae98. Can anybody tell me what this means and how to fix the problem if ever possible? Thanks!

As mentioned in the subject line: my Mid 2009 MBA freezes frequently. The hardware test provides the error code.
It sounds like a failed RAM but it still works when booted.
Can anybody tell me what was wrong with this MBA and what else can I do to save it?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's a RAM issue. If you want, you can still use your Mac until it gets damaged, but that message tells something bad with your RAM, and what it's worse, the RAM in the MacBook Air is soldered onto the logic board, so if you take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get it repaired, the whole logic board will have to be replaced, making this repair so expensive

    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • My Firefox hasn't worked since I updated it. It tells me that there is a proxy error. I'm not computer lit. Can please tell me what this means and how to fix it in detail? I use windows xp if that matters

    I understand little about computers, I don't know what a proxy server is and don't know how to check connections or what to look for if I could

  • When i try to start itunes i get a message saying that the MSVCR80.dll file is missing and to reinstall itunes.  When I try to reinstall itunes it tells me that I have an Error 7 (windows error 126).  Can anybody tell me what this means?  Thanks

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    I've got the same problem.
    It wasn't the case before the upgrade to v 9.2 (Iphoto 11) yesterday.
    The previous solution preferences - advanced - "select a store" (last option) doesn't solve it anymore.

  • What does Apple Hardware Test error code 4MEM/1/40000000:OX3bb6b190 mean?

    Mozilla kept crashing so I did the Apple Hardware Test and got error code 4MEM/1/40000000:OX3bb6b190. I reinstalled MacOs 10.4.4 (after saving the important stuff to disk of course) and it took about 10 tries to get the 2 disks installed. After the installation, I tried to update to 10.4.5, and when I restarted, the screen was blank. The only disk the computer will start with now is the No. 1 installation disk. What can I do?

    Hi
    A MEM error code generally indicates a faulty RAM Module. In my experience most RAM manufacturers offer at least a 5 year warranty of their RAM products. Some warranties are for 10 years. Sometimes reseating (taking it out and putting it back in again - properly) the Module will 'cure' the problem. Run AHT afterwards if you try this option first.
    If you can remove the offending module and still have enough RAM to be able to do what you need to do then do so.
    If not take it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist who should fix it for you or replace the faulty module yourself and deal with the RAM manufacturer directly.
    Judging by the footer to your post you don't seem to have had much luck with this model have you?

  • HT201272 I purchased an album and parts of some songs are not there. Tried redownloading and get error -1202. Any idea what this means and how to fix it?

    I purchased an album and am missing parts of songs. Tried to re-download, but itune store is giving me error -1202. I also tried to transfer from iphone, but nothing changed. Any ideas on what else I can try?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • I am trying to sign up for Sync and I get the error "Incorrect Words, Try Again" does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

    No matter what I change email or passwords it continuously gives me this error.

    Hi,
    Please also try changing the typed words in the Captcha text field below the Captcha image that has a pair of words. If the existing pair is not clear, you can also try clicking on the refresh button (the top button among the three on the right of the image) to get a new image with another pair of words.

  • I get an error message on Lynx, can someone tell me what this means?

    When I check my home page on lynx I get what I would expect 2 links to 2 galleries below that the alt text for my logo and the photograph, and the footer info with an e-mail link.  If I click any link I get a message "Bad Request - Your browser sent a request this server could not understand, the request contained invalid characters following the protocol string."  All the links on the site  www.hayhurst-photography.com  do work.  Should this show the next page (there are 42 others each have a table with 21 links + 3).  Can you tell me what this means?  and which are the invalid characters?
    Thanks Chris

    I just tested your pages using Firefox and IE7.  I could click on both Business and Commercial links and venture into the inner pages with no error message showing up at all.  Clicking on any of the thumbnails showed the larger images, again, with no error messages.

    I used my Ipod while at the gym one day and now it's acting wacky.  I have tunes that will not download due to an "unexpected error (-50).  Anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

    looks like the gtk theme is not the problem. didnt really think it was, but the documentation was worth posting. the guys over at ubuntu look as though they have dealt with this in great detail, and have produced a few solutions, which may or may not work. i have decided to post these for anyone else who may have these problems.
    Solution 1 - new user creation:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104521
    Solution 2 - config file delete:
    http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=724439
    post number 6 here features the config file delete solution, as well as a link to another post which may be useful.
    judging by a google search on this problem and the number of responses that came up, the bonobo/daemon error is quite a common curse for the users of gnome, although much more common in distros such as ubuntu or fedora.
    i hope that this proves useful and if anyone has anything to add, please feel free. the more documentation the better.
    EDIT:
    another solution would be to remove gnome and reinstall it from scratch. (some please tell me if i am doing this correctly. thanks )
    1. clean your catch:
    pacman -Scc
    2. remove gnome, gnome extras, and whatever other gnome files you might have installed
    pacman -Rscn gnome gnome-extra etc...
    3. reinstall gnome and gnome extras
    pacman -Sy gnome gnome-extra
    4. reconfigure your desktop the way you want.

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.
