Mid 2011 rebooting by itself
I have a mid-2011 iMac (2.8GHz i7, 8GB RAM) with a recent installation of Yosemite. I have now had two occurrences where the machine has spontaneously rebooted - both seem to be sleep/hibernate related, though a search of the literature hasn't turned up too many suggestions that seem to lead me anywhere. Here's an extract of the system logs based in Linc's script; also happy to pull anything else out.

I don't recommend posting the output of that script unless asked to do so by me, as I can't vouch for what kind of advice you may get from others. That said, there was a recall program (now ended, apparently) for that model because of defective hard drives. That or some other hardware fault is the likely cause of your problem. Take the machine to an Apple Store for testing.

My mid-2011 MacBook Air bricks itself after 10.7.2 update
I have a new MacBook Air (11") that was working just great, until today. Today, I used Software Update to install the updates, which included 10.7.2 as well as the recue partition update.
I did everything you're supposed to do, and when it rebooted, the gray screen comes up, and it shows the spinny doohickey on the bottom showing that it's working. Then, suddenly, up pops a big "no" icon (the circle with the slash through it) after about 60 seconds.
It simply doesn't do anything after that.
Hard-power-off, wait, power-on, repeat, same thing.
So I reboot with cmd-R to get the rescue partition. It works fine; I ask it to re-install Mac OS X, which then takes about 45 minutes (argh). Finally, Mac OS X is back, the machine is nicely booted up, all my files are there, everything is good.. But of course, the reinstall took me back to 10.7.1.
All I want to do is upgrade my fricking iPhone to IOS 5.0, but I can't do that without knowing I can sync which requires iCloud which of course requires 10.7.2. So I *have* to re-do the upgrade.
Back to Software Update, back to installing 10.7.2. And .. 20 minutes later .. back to bricked MacBook Air.
What a waste of my time. What a failure, Apple. I'm very very very very very unhappy that I've wasted so much time just to update my damned iPhone to IOS 5. I'm still without an update. Now I'm trying to figure out how to move my iTunes to another machine -- not nearly as obvious as it should be. ARGH. I'm going to throw this MacBook Air off the balcony in about 10 minutes. :-(
Thanks for listening.
SteveWow, you're right -- I can't believe it. I just really can't believe they would screw up so badly, yet when I search for "10.7.2 filevault" I don't find more than a couple of articles about it on the web (including this thread). Why on earth wouldn't Apple have put up some kind of warning about this? I can't believe it, really. It's insane.
On my newly-functional 10.7.2 MBA, I wanted to test your theory and so I turned on filevault 2 and encrypted the main disk again. It of course wanted me to reboot. So I rebooted. And *blammy* -- same error / boot failure. Wow. Also, interestingly, even on a working 10.7.2 system, you can't mount a USB drive that was encrypted using Filevault 2 encryption (in Disk Utility, e.g., as a "Mac OS X, journalled, encrypted" volume that was encrypted with DiskUtility on Lion 10.7.1). I still have a 10.7.1 machine that I will not upgrade until I can at least decrypt the disk -- but right now, Disk Utility tells me it fails decrypting the external USB disk so I'm hosed!!! ARGH.
Now, going back to the booting problem after upgrade -- for anyone's reference who's still keeping score -- you can easily recover from the booting problem with upgrading a Filevault 2 root drive: Power-cycle the machine and then hold down cmd-r to bring up the Lion Recovery application. Within Lion Recovery, choose "Disk Utility", and then click on the (as yet unmounted, still encrypted) root hard drive to select it. Then go to the File menu, and choose "Turn off encryption" for this disk. It then prompts you for the password, and if you enter it, *blammy* you're back up and running again.
In my case, the disk had only just begun encrypting so the action was instant, and then once it confirmed the disk was now decrypted, I simply chose "Restart" from the Apple menu, and I was back in business (no hairy re-installs to deal with). If this is an already-encrypted volume, presumably it'll take you a bit longer (the normal 45-minutes to 2 hours) to decrypt it. But at least no more installing software -- it'll "just work".
Maybe I'll go post a simpler version of these instructinos on the other threads, but this is the simplest fix -- just turn off filevault 2 from within Lion Recovery, basically, and that fixes the boot problems.
Apple, if you're listening, you really really really need to say something to your users so they know. Many many many MBA users are likely to have still not upgraded. You can prevent them from hating you and your products by making sure they don't screw the pooch here. Short version: Mid-2011 MacBook Airs running Filevault 2 WILL NOT BOOT after 10.7.2 update; so users should turn off Filevault2 before upgrading.

This morning it started again.
When I write the word "shut" to console it says:

Yosemite is installed. But the problem has happened with every operating systems.
Disk utility can't find any problems.
No usb or other devices are connected.
I deleted the file: com.apple.PowerManagement.plist (someone suggested that it may help)
I think it's not the matter of heat, because the problem occurs right away when starting my comp.
With a safe mode it sometimes stays up for hours. So could it be a problem with applications, rather than hardware?
Help is highly appreciated!
Thank you!Thank you, I did ran etrecheck.
Here's the result.
Now my computer did shuts down even in safe mode, sometimes in seconds.
So I have to keep this short.

Feb 27, 2015, 12:46:20 PM Self test - passed -
I have an iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) with a 3.4 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, and AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1GB of memory.
Every day since Tuesday, the computer has been randomly crashing once or twice a day to a black screen. It doesn't matter what I am doing (surfing the web in Safari, listening to music in iTunes, etc). If there is music playing, I will get a constant stutter of audio in addition to the black screen.
When restarting the computer, it instantly goes back to either a black or gray screen after the Apple logo passes. Attempting to reset the PRAM or SMC does not fix the issue from reoccuring and I usually have to keep the computer unplugged for an extended period of time before I can get it back up and running. Sometimes I have to boot the computer up into AHT (Apple Hardware Test) or Internet Recovery to get the computer running back to normal.
When running both a normal or extended AHT, all of the hardware that is tested ends up passing. When running Disk Utility, it shows there are no hard drive related issues.
The question that I have is this an issue related to the AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card?
Back in March, my iMac's display began suffering issues with greyish smudge marks behind the glass alongside issues where it would freeze and become distorted alongside the black screen. When I brought it into an Apple Authorized Service Provider back in March of this year to have everything checked out, they replaced the display and nothing else as they could not replicate any of the graphical issues despite numerous calls to AppleCare. I ended up doing an erase and install of Mavericks and the 10.9.2 update ended up being a temporary fix for the issue.
Should I call back AppleCare and tell them I need my video card replaced or is it something else?The last panic log was from 05/15/2014:

Win 8 pro to win 8.1 pro on Imac mid 2011
Hi Community!
I'm experiencing the same issue as this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/23429321#23429321
But it's on my Imac mid 2011.
I had windows 7, I upgraded with a windows 8 succesfully but when I want to update to 8.1 I have a black screen at the end of the installation (no lights) exactly like the computer is Off. When I reboot it restore to win 8
So I decided to restore windows 8 with a fresh install (all programs and files deleted) and bootcamp 5 installed before.
I have the same issue , I thought the problem was because of one of my drivers.
But even with a brand new Win8, with last update, The update 8.1 give me this **** black screen!!!
I tried with last AMD HD drivers in case it was the graphic drivers.
I really don't understand what happen!!
I have two sort of error code when It restore to win 8
0x1900101 - 40019 or 0x1900101 - 4000D
Does anyone have a successful update to win 8.1 with an Imac mid 2011?
I try to install with a complete win 8.1 DVD (no update) I will work?
thanks for your helpWell, I have finally figured "my" issue out. For me, it was the video driver for my 6970M adapter. The real kicker is that the driver provided by Microsoft during the windows installation which correctly identified my device was NOT compatible with 8.1 The driver provided by Bootcamp driver installation was NOT compatibile either.
Basically, you have to uninstall the display adapter and have "delete the driver" box checked in device manager. Leave it like that, do NOT reboot and install 8.1 The incompatible driver will put itself back on there again but, at least you'll be able to get into 8.1. You just have to uninstall that device again and go to AMD directly for the latest driver.
So, below is a more step by step of how I got my 8.1 passed the black screen issue.
I did a clean install of Windows 8.
During the installation process, select customize settings and turn OFF automatic windows updates AND turn OFF automatic driver updates.
Once at the desktop, uninstall the device AND device driver (display adapter). Do NOT reboot.
At this point I had to do windows updates to get 8.1 to show up in the windows store. However, if you have to do this, UNCHECK any driver related updates first. It will tell you to reboot, go ahead and do this. Once back at the desktop, go into device manager and make sure the display adapter is uninstalled/driver deleted or its at least the microsoft generic adapter. The point is to make sure no device specific adapter is installed.
Proceed to install 8.1. Let it go through its reboots and setup.
Once at the desktop of 8.1, go into device manager and see if the generic driver is there of it its a device specific driver, uninstall the device/driver, do not reboot.
Go to AMD (my display adapter maker) and get the latest drivers from them directly and make sure its for 8.1
Install that driver and reboot. It should work from there on out. You can then proceed to install other devices and bootcamp drivers.
This is what I had to do for my black screen problem. Its important to note that the black screen issue is common but being caused by a variety of issues. I was on the phone with Microsoft this morning and explained all of this and my steps that were taken. Its clear MS has a bad update package especially since 8.1 isn't playing well (causing black screen) with drivers that Windows itself installed during install. My fix may work for some, but not all. I hope it helps someone. -
Mac Mini (Mid 2011) dead / EFI, ... how to unbrick?
Hello!
I have a Mac Mini Server (Mid 2011) which does not boot up anymore.
A benq screen is connected via HDMI and a mac keyboard via USB.
What I did before:
* generate lion recovery stick
* boot up with it an created a raid1 on the two internal 750gb drives
* reinstalled OSX (which took way to long, I want a full USB installer and not a network based one!)
* booted up OSX (worked nicely)
* installed the 5 pending software upgrades (one was the EFI Update)
* the efi update itself looked ok (grey progress bar was 100%) but instead of starting up my screen went blue
(=sign for lost hdmi signal) and the mac mini fan went to full speed.
* there was no interruption, power outage, reboot or whatever during the EFI BIOS update.
After that I called the Apple support, which only mentioned that I have to bring it in.
After waiting >30 min on the first support call they said I shall turn it off and on.
I tried the 10sec power button press method, pram-zapping, target mode towards an
other mac via thunderbolt, recovery mode, ... nothing changed the behavior.
The only thing it does on powering it on is to show a steady led, you feel the virbrations
from the spinning disks and after 25sec the fan turns full speed again.
For me it smells like an EFI issue, I wonder if the update routine got confused by the RAID1
(like trying to store some temporaty file which failed)
If I press the power button while plugging in the power and press power again the led does not
lite and the fan turns on imidiatly, these are the two modes in which I seem to be able to power it up.
I saw for older macs exists an "Firmware Restoration CD" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
But I did not find anything else.
After calling Apple support again and spepding 2h in the phone queue and two disconnects
I got to a "Senior Advisor" who did not even knew about the "Firmware Restoration CD" at all, ...
He said there is no Recovery for this model and that most likely the logic board has to be replaced.
What I would like to hear from all of you out there:
* is there any way to recover a EFI firmware on the most recent Mac models, like my Mid 2011 Mac Mini Server?
(if not this sounds a bit broken by design)
* Any other suggestions what I could do to bring the Mac Mini back to life?
Thx, mek!I have the same problem with the Mac mini in mid-2011, the newestmodel. After the EFI firmware update 1.3, the Mac will not start well,and fan speed up to full speed Increasing but the mac does nothing.
I called Apple and they don`t give me another solution to get him tofix. From what I've seen the most likely have to change the logicboard.
My is a brand new Mac Mini 2,3 GHz i5 with 2 GH mem
If anyone has another solution please comment on it.
My mac mini only has 20 days

Windows 8 on macbook air (mid 2011) dark screen
I downloaded the windows 8 retail edition from dream spark and wrote the iso file into a usb drive. I installed the windows 8 using GUID partition map successfully and the windows 8 was bootable. But when it's first booted, it says "getting ready for the devices (some percentages)" and it went dark later. The laptop rebooted itself and went to the booting screen of windows 8. But after that the screen went dark again and I couldn't even set up the account. I tried to close and reopen the lid but the screen remained dark; also tried to refresh my pc in the efi menu but it couldn't fix the problem either. (I assume it had something to do with the drivers. I downloaded the latest bootcamp drivers into the usb drive but I don't think windows 8 would retreive that automatically after the installation.)
How do you install using Windows 8 RTM? Actually, what is RTM?
I have an EFI version I think and I've tried numerous times and it does not work. After researching, it has to do with the partition map and such as you guys talked about.
I used rEFIt and magically, Windows 8 started to install then an error happened and I was not able to see what happend. Thereafter, I could not install it on my mid 2011 mac air due to the partition map.
I even tried repeating the steps for it to install again (after I installed rEFIt) but that didn't work either. -
Mid-2011 iMac - black screen, no chime
My iMac has been working like a charm all the time except a few months back it started to reveal symptoms on each boot. I keep iMac turned on all the time, so it hasn't bothered me much, only on software update when you have to reboot the machine.
Every time I had to boot iMac it hangs on the grey start-up screen with Apple logo and spinning wheel. I can get through it pressing C while booting (C is the key to boot from external device, such as DVD or USB) without having any discs inserted or devices connected. Yesterday I installed the 10.8.4 Combo update and booted with Cmd-V to access the verbose boot mode. I managed to get there 3 times in a row, every time it freezed on the line:
AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement
Two times only partly printed "AppleIntelCPUPowerM". Now I'm stuck with a black screen and no start-up chime. I can hear the fans are spinning slowly and the hard drive and the optical drive both at least get's power. No other marks of life here. Did the SMC reset - nothing. No response on keyboard (tried to boot to safe mode, make a PRAM reset, boot from external device.. everything).
Then I tried to remove all the RAM banks and boot. One beep constantly repeating with a delay of a second which means "No RAM installed". Then I started to put in one bank at a time and some of them got three beeps ("No RAM banks passed memory testing"). Then I started to put multiple banks at the same time, on some booting trials the same RAM bank was resulted as faulty, on some trials as functional.
Based on this information from the verbose boot and the experience with RAM, is it..
a) the power supply (because it froze on AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement)
b) the logic board (same RAM banks are faulty and functional on different boots)
c) OS X kernel (while AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement is a kext)
or something else?
Is there anything I can do? Do I have to take it to the Apple repair service?
If it's the logic board, can I ask for a newer replacement board, let's say, I want to switch the mid-2011 logic board to an early-2013 logic board, is it possible?Took it to the repair service, it was the logic board that was broken.
With a price tag half of a brand new iMac, I started wondering, do I have any chance of compesation from Apple referring to consumer protection? The iMac was bought on December 2011, so it's only 1½ years old machine - the logic board of this fresh computer is not meant to broke.. At least I think so? Of course the basic warranty is 1 year and I didn't have AppleCare 'cause I bought it used last summer.
I know I'm on a thin ice with this, but this amount of money drives a man to a far-fetched actions.. I even didn't get to break it myself, it just fell apart by itself.. That's just wrong. -
Mid 2011 Macbook Air Painfully slow.
Mid 2011 Macbook Air Painfully slow.
Hey everyone. I am writing about my 13 inch Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Recently it has been extremely slow and on occasion has not started up.
I have reset the PRAM and SMC already, yet it is still very slow. I have a couple theories about what might have caused it, are they plausible?
Theory 1: It’s a software problem. I tried to upgrade to 10.8.2 but halfway through the upgrade the computer restarted and somehow I was still on 10.8.1. For fear of a big issue happening I didn’t try to upgrade again. Perhaps it is a flaw in Apple’s software update?
The important thing to note about this update is that I tried to install 10.8.2 around a month or two weeks BEFORE I started having problems. So if these issues were due to 10.8.2’s failed update then it certainly was a delayed reaction.
I would of course like to update to 10.8.2 BUT as my computer is acting EXTREMELY slow and having trouble turning on occasionally I am worried the software update will completely brick the machine. Is that possible? Should I actually finish through with the software update?
Theory 2: It was an electricity problem.
The computer died when I was sitting at a café plugged into their wall sockets. A few days later when I came back to the same spot with my old macbook which is now being used in lieu of the Air it suddenly turned black for a little while. Sensing it might be an electricity surge or something with their system I unplugged the cable. I am not sure if that was paranoia though.
Can an electricity surge or a bad outlet fry a computer? Can it fry the ram so the computer is extremely slow? Does that theory hold any water?
Thanks for your help diagnosing this problem.
All the best.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
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 “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal. -
IMac (Mid 2011) Constantly Crashing
Hi Everyone!
I have a mid 2011 iMac and (27 inch, 2.7 i5, 4gb RAM) and it has started crashing regularly on start up/wake and (recently) when I open apps. I don't think it is app specific.
I've tried reinstalling OSX, I've scanned the entire system for viruses, and I've run a "TechTool DeLux" scan, which came up good.
When it crashes, I have to force shutdown and reboot. If it gets as far as the log in screen (which sometimes takes a few attempts), I get a message box that says "Ypy shut down your computer because of a problem" and it then prompts me to either re-open the applications that were open when it crashed or log in nromally.
I disabled all my login items and it still happens.
Any help would be much appreciated!
(It's exam time and I can't deal with constant crashes!)
Thanks,

Mid-2011 27" iMac constantly freezing/ restarting
Hey there, so I'm at the end of my tether here because I've barely been able to do anything on my iMac as of late because I've been experiencing severe freezing issues.
I'll start from the beginning:
I've had the iMac since mid-2011. It's a 27" iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory, and AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB graphics. It's served me so well over the years, but 2015 has been the start of something hellish.
I first noticed it a month or so having upgraded to Warlords of Dreanor in World of Warcraft. This is the game I primarily play, and have played for years. The graphics have consistently been played on 'ultra' (the highest setting) and have been as smooth as butter since I can remember. But as I say, a month or so into this new expansion I notice that everything's loading up a lot slower than previously. Previously when I minimised the game into windowed mode, it would work in a flash, now it would be sluggish it resets the game's UI overtime I did so. I lowered the graphics thinking perhaps this was the problem, but it wasn't. Then the crashing started happening.
I would be playing, and suddenly my iMac would crash. The screen would look like it glitches out with an array of pixelated colours, then turn one of a numerous amount of colours with a corresponding colour repeating as vertical stripes. It would remain this way until I had to hard reset it with the power switch. This persisted even when not gaming now. I would be watching a youtube video, or refresh tumblr, and the same thing would happen.
I took it upon myself to see what could be up and I found this iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program - Apple Support
Thinking this was the problem, I booked my iMac to be seen with a genius.
Now with my iMac infant of a genius, he ran whatever stand tests they do with iMacs on my type, and said the graphics card wasn't showing up with any particular problems. Nor anything else. He took it in though so they could run further testing. A week or so later I am told there's nothing wrong with the graphics card but a fan doesn't seem to be working and they can replace that at a cost & labour charge. My receipt lists the part as "FAN, HARD DRIVE", it was only cheap (£13).
I get my iMac home, thinking it's all good to go! and... it's bad. It's really, really bad guys.
Now for whatever reason I do not know, my iMac starts glitching out on me for what seems like nothing!
I startup the iMac and it will always spend a minute or two on the white screen with the loading apple. Once I'm logged in, it may only be a minute or so until I'm hit with the screen turning one of a numerous amount of colours with a corresponding colour repeating as vertical stripes. If I'm logged in for long enough to have opened iTunes and got some tunes playing - the music will stutter in the background on the crash and within a minute or so the iMac will restart itself.
Here's the thing though, this crashing is so sporadic. I've kept a log in my iOS notes of when it happens, what I had open when it did, and what I was doing, and there's nothing of any correlation! In fact, the longest time period I didn't experience a crash was during a few hours long session of Diablo 3 (graphics high).
Unfortunately it's not a technical log of any sort, all my logs are akin to:
12/02/15 21:16 watching Netflix full screen through chrome, Netflix was paused, when going to unpause screen goes a cardboard orange colour with faint grey vertical lines. After less than a minute iMac restarts itself.
Taking photos whenever I could of said crash, like so:
I was at the point this evening where I tried on 4 consecutive restarts to get a game of Diablo 3 going and couldn't get more than 1 minute into playing before this crash happens.
What on Earth could be the issue? Because the Genius guys certainly didn't find any problems after their week long 'intensive' checkup...
Thanks all!I've got the exact same machine and I also had a graphics card issue.
When the Mac starts-up, the graphics card on the Intel processor does
all the initial work. If you get to the stage when you see your user accounts
you know that the graphics processing has been delegated to the on-board
dedicated graphics card.
If you do get to this stage and it holds steady, it's probably not the graphics
card that is causing the problem. When mine crashed, it also took out my
USB ports and I also had a corrupt hard drive! Don't judge a underlying
issue by it's apparent symptoms.
My problems started in September 2014. If you are in the UK, judging by the
£13, you have 6 years for your machine to function reasonably properly and
for the reseller directly (Apple indirectly) no fix any issues free of charge.
Apple does advertise it's 6 year liability to comply with the Sale Of Goods Act
which is unprecedented in the commercial world so five stars their! But your
legal contract is with the reseller. You are also entitled to any costs you
incurred like delivery of the machine.
I wrote to my reseller and they agreed without question. After signing some
papers to agree with the Apple part replacement program or something it's
been running as new.
If you haven't done so already, contact the re-seller and explain the problems
and show them the evidence you have. If that fails then you should be able to
take the machine to a Apple specialist for it to be diagnosed with all costs
covered by the Apple programme. -
Mid 2011 Macbook Air won't boot after installing Little Snitch 3. Grey Screen.
Hi all
I think the answer is probably that my SSD is toast but here's the symptoms in case anyone else has experienced this.
I installed Adobe Lightroom and also got round to upgrading my Little Snitch license and finally putting it on my 11" Air (mid 2011, latest version of Lion) as I use the computer more often than my Pro. After restarting as LS requires I was met with the grey Apple logo screen with no spinning gear. I forced a shut down and started again, again the logo screen, no spinning gear. I tried booting in to safe mode and got only a grey screen, then I tried booting in to recovery mode and got the Apple Logo again. I also tried cmd + C and alt/option with an external DVD drive and Snow Leopard with no luck
Then I tried a SMC reset, after that I started up and only got the Logo again. I reset the PRAM and the main effect of that was to reset the system volume to max so now I can hear the POST chime but also since the PRAM reset I get only the grey screen and no further. I tried to boot from a USB Lion recovery but only the grey screen. I have also tried booting with cmd +S with no luck either. Internet recovery doesn't work either.
The keyboard seems to be completely unresponsive, the caps lock key doesn't light up at all and I've a feeling that it's either something as simple as a problem with the keyboard or the SSD is kaput. I think that Little Snitch is a coincidence as there's nothing like this anywhere on the web as far as I can tell with Google and there doesn't appear to be anything on these forums that quite matches, especially the part about not being able to use and alternative boot method.
Anyone out there got any ideas?
Cheers
JohnHi and thank you for your response.
The fans only kick in when the machine freezes.
I updated from Snow Leopard to Lion using the App Store. The install was successful and worked for about 30 mins then the unresponsive behavior started. Once I rebooted, I received the issue previously stated above (i.e., the trackpad and keyboard is unresponsive).
I've also tried booting using the Option key and choosing the Recovery Mode. Once in Recovery Mode the same crash happens (i.e., the trackpad and keyboard is unresponsive) -
I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
Thanks,
JohnHi!
I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated! -
Slow internet on mid 2011 macbook air
So my internet is intermittently slow on my macbook air. This has been happening for many months although I cannot remember if it corresponded with upgrading to OS X 10.9. It is sporadic and I cannot identify any precipitating causes or solutions. My internet speed will just randomly drop and then eventually will correct itself where I will have the 15mbps download speed that I am paying for through my ISP. When the internet speed drops I will average 0.6 - 1.5mbps on speediest.net. This seems to be only isolated to my mid 2011 macbook air as my other laptop - a PC, and my iPhone show regular speeds. I have called my ISP and router customer service departments many times with no help. I have replaced my wireless router. Please help.
Nothing has worked. I have tried everything that I can think of including:
1. Installed all OS updates - this seemed to work for about a day and then back to the same slow internet speed
2. restarting the computer
3. restarting in safe mode
4. uninstalled and reinstalled the wifi network
5. restart modem and router
6. replaced router with a new model
7. changed wireless security settings on wireless router and channels'
8. changed DNS to google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
9 installed onyx and cleaned system
10. ran virus check
11. disabled safari plugins
12. deleted preferences.plist and networkinterfaces.plist
13 turned off bluetooth on mac
14. turned off wifi on all other devices
15. disabling and enabling wifi networks
16. run diagnostics on wifi - normalrun diagnostics on wifi - normal
It's not clear if that was the result of using Apple's Wireless Diagnostics. It may supply some additional helpful information.
To use it, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
The following authentication dialog will appear:
Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in additional information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
Click Continue.
The next step will also take a few minutes:
When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you. Let me know if it is.
The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish to expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you. -
Getting Windows 7 on the Mid 2011 MacBook Air EASILY *TESTED*
Greetings!
As this is my first post, I wanted to make it count. Thus I have decided to compile a simple guide on EASILY getting Windows 7 installed on to your mid-2011 MacBook Air.
I have been following the many threads around here regarding the trouble people are having getting Windows 7 installed on to their Mid-2011 MacBook Air's. I have read complaints of Windows Support Software (drivers) downloads taking too long, of not being able to save the Windows Support Software correctly to a USB key, etc, etc.
The following process is relatively simple, but not as simple as it should be. I'm quite certain as Lion matures, some of the Bootcamp issues we have been having will be remediated.
This procedure has been tested on the following platform:
Mid-2011 11" MacBook Air ~ 1.6GHz i5, 4GB RAM, 128GB Flash (SSD) HDD
What's Wrong?:
1. On the MacBook Air platform specifically, users are expected to have a Windows 7 ISO before beginning. Some users have stated that this can be accomplished easily using the DISK UTILITY ISO CREATION FEATURE. THIS WILL NOT WORK. THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PUTTING THE WINDOWS 7 ISO ONTO A USB KEY IS MAKING IT BOOTABLE! You need to make the USB key you're installing to bootable, plain and simple.
2. I tested the Windows Support Software drivers after downloading them and the Intel HD3000 GPU and Sound Drivers do not install properly.
3. Creating a Windows 7 Startup Disk through Bootcamp hangs.
What You'll Need:
1. A Windozzze box
2. A DVD-ROM Drive
3. Internet Access (for downloading a Win7 ISO in case you don't have a Win7 install DVD and other necessary utilities)
4. ISODisk - http://www.isodisk.com/ - 100% FREE
5. Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool - http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.h tml- 100% FREE (you may also acquire this tool from Microshaft)
6. A little patience
7. A LEGAL Windows 7 license to activate Windows 7 after 30 days.
8. 2 FORMATTED USB DRIVES.
NOTE: Technically you only need 1 USB drive, however, you will need to get the Bootcamp drivers from OS X onto a USB key. To make this easy, the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool will format one drive as an NTFS partition and the other drive should be formatted as a simple MS-FAT partition (can do this through DISK UTILITY, if you don't know how, Google it, very simple).
Let's Get'r Done:
1. Boot up your Windoze box.
2. Insert your Windows 7 Install DVD into your DVD-ROM.
3. (OPTIONAL) This step may be performed in lieu of step #2 if you don't have a Windows 7 Install DVD, download a Windows 7 ISO (don't download illegaly) from Microsoft. You may skip to step #6 if this is how you're to proceed.
4. Download and install ISODisk.
5. Create an ISO of your Windows 7 Install DVD - Select the DVD within the ISODisk app, choose a name and save location, create your ISO. *This takes a bit to complete*.
6. Download and install the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
7. Open the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, ensure you have inserted the USB key you intend to use for Windoze 7, once the ISO has been created from step #5 or you already have one from step #2, select the USB button and create your USB/Windows 7 ISO Disk (all this does is place the necessary Windows 7 boot files on the USB key so that the Windows 7 ISO may be booted from the USB key).
8. Once complete, safely eject your Windows 7 USB key and move on over to your beautiful Mac. Place the Windows 7 USB Key aside for the time being.
9. Once booted, place the second USB key (the USB key you intend to use for your Bootcamp drivers) into your beautiful Mac. Ensure that it's formatted as MS-FAT, you can do this via DISK UTILITY, Google it if you don't know how.
10. Navigate to Mac HD --> Library --> Application Support --> Bootcamp --> Here you will find a BootCamp DMG file, this is a large file that contains the necessary Windoze 7 Drivers for the MacBook Air, DOUBLE-CLICK IT TO MOUNT IT, a FINDER window will appear revealing its contents. Perform a Shift-A to select all files, RIGHT-CLICK and select COPY.
11. DOUBLE-CLICK your MS-FAT USB key, PASTE the files from step #10 onto the drive. You now have your Windows 7 Driver disk. Place the Bootcamp Drivers USB Key aside for the time being.
12. Open the BOOTCAMP ASSISTANT, this is located in your Mac HD --> Applications --> Utilties Folder.
13. IMPORTANT!!!
Uncheck "CREATE A WINDOWS 7 INSTALL DISK"
Uncheck "DOWNLOAD THE LATEST WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FROM APPLE" - At least for now to get you up and running.
14. Ensure that "INSTALL WINDOWS 7" is SELECTED and click continue.
15. Insert your Windows 7 ISO USB Key into your beautiful Mac.
16. Partition your drive accordingly, create the Windows 7 partition (the Windows 7 USB Key needs to be in the Air for this).
17. As soon as the partition is created, your air WILL REBOOT, the Windows 7 install will begin.
18. You will be prompted that the BOOTCAMP parition is not NTFS and needs to be in order to install Windows 7, THIS IS FINE.
19. Click FORMAT, the BOOTCAMP partition will be formatted as NTFS. Select the same partition number and continue. NOTE: The Windows install IS VERY fast on your beautiful SSD equipped Mac.
20. Once the installation completes, insert your USB Bootcamp key.
21. Navigate to the Setup.exe file on the key and double-click.
22. Sitback and let the Bootcamp drivers load. Windows 7 will reboot.
23. Install your Windows updates and reboot.
24. Reboot again and HOLD THE OPTION KEY, this will allow you to get back into your Mac.
25. Once in OS X, click settings and STARTUP DISK, select OS X (unless you want to mainly run Windoze).
26. Finished.
Please let me know if you should have any questions.
You should now have a fully functioning Windows 7 Bootcamp install with all drivers properly installed. You can check this by navigating to Device Manager within Windows and ensuring that you have no yellow exclamation marks.Sorry, must have been the crackpipe I smoked last night! LOL
You won't see anything in the Application Support --> Bootcamp folder unless you have previously downloaded the Windows Support Software. Good find.
ADDENDUM STEP:
This step should be placed between 9-10.
Open Bootcamp Assistant. Uncheck everything BUT, "DOWNLOAD THE LATEST WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FROM APPLE". You will be prompted to burn the image to a CD/DVD or save to a USB Key. Save the image to a USB key. This will format your USB key properly in preparation for the files. The download commences and if you're lucky, the files will simply be saved to your USB key without having to manually copy them over to the key using the steps above.
IMPORTANT - Even if the support software hangs when its being saved to the USB key, you should now be able to navigate to the directory and see the image. Follow the steps above.
Apologies for missing this.
Best,
WBN
