My mac book air keeps starting in safe boot mode. I cant enter my password as it is caps lock so i cant access my computer. Please can someone please help me start back in normal mode? Thank you

MY Macbook air keeps starting in "safe boot" mode, no idea why. I cannot get into the system because this mode makes everything write in capital letters and my password is in lower case. I keep turning it off and on but nothing changes and i cannot access my computer. Please can someone help me? Thank you

I'm not getting a clear picture at all of what problems you're seeing. If you are seeing online accounts have their passwords changed, those accounts are being hacked. Someone may already have access to some account and is using that access to reset passwords on other accounts. Change the password on EVERY online account you have. Be sure to use a strong password, and don't use the same password on more than one site.
If you are seeing changes to your bookmarks and browser history, your Apple ID may be one of the accounts that has been hacked. After changing the password on your Apple ID, you need to lock it down with two-factor authentication:

Beyond that, we will need additional details about what specific symptoms you're seeing in order to help further. One thing I can say, though, is that these problems are very unlikely to be due to any kind of malware. See my Mac Malware Guide to learn more on that topic.

  • My MAC book air keeps shutting down alone, what could I do?

    since yesterday my mac book air keep shuting down alone with full battery, why is that? what could I do? Im working on my thesis so I really need my computer.

    If this is a new Macbook Air - return it and ask for a replacement. You seem to be having this issue (the one which I described) which is still ongoing and occurring with new Machines. Apple has (in the US) a <14 day return policy do not let it expire. Especially if it occurs while plugged into mains power.
    If it is not a new machine one other sometime/part-time cure is an SMC reset or a PRAM/NVRAM reset.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    There is also a Facebook Page about the problem

    Install it just as you did before. You should have backed up the download to a CD or backup HD and have the S/N archived with the backup. If you did not backup (please do in the future), you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html unless it was an upgrade (I don't think you can use these files for upgrades).

  • Hi, I would like to copy my photos (from iphoto) and movies (from i movie) from my Mac book air to my imac in which I also have iphoto and imovie with photos and movies. My goal is to have a unique source in my imac for my photos and movies. Thanks .

    As  to iPhoto
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

  • Mac book air keeps freezing on youtube?!

    Its a new mac book air bought 1 week ago. 4gb ram 256 hdd. When I watch a video on youtube it loads then all of a sudden the white circle which shows the progress is at the beginning and the clip is still playing then shortly after the loading symbol appears and doesn't play anymore. Anybody know what the problem is?
    Tried emptying history and all that other cookies and internet content. Tried the permission thingy.

    Let me explain.
    You can't ask a drive partition to "repair itself".
    So, you have to be booted to a different drive, than the drive that is causing the problem.
    In this case, your problem disk is your startup disk. The "startup disk" is the drive that you boot to every day. So in this case, we need to boot to a different disk. On your system, you have the main startup drive on one partiton, and the Recovery Disk on a separate partition. Both of these partitions physically reside on your computer's hard drive, or SSD, but appear to be two independent drives to the system.
    You are going to boot to the Recovery Disk, or more accurately sometimes called, the "Recovery Partition". To do this, we use the "option boot". This means holding down the OPTION key, while booting. After a few moments, you will be presented by a display of avaialble boot disks. You choose the one marked "recovery". Once booted up, you will chose Disk Utility. This is an App that is built-in to the Recovery Partiton for the sole purpose of managing drives, disks, and partitions without having to be booted to the main startup disk.
    From here, you can select the starup drive, usually called "Macintosh HD", by default. After you select the drive, you can perform actions on that drive. One button will "repair permissions", another will "verify disk", and still another with "repair disk". By running "repair disk", Disk utility will attempt to repair certain software errors on the drive that might be preventing a good read of critical files needed to boot to the startup drive.
    As well, "Repair Permissions" can also fix certain problems that may make the system unusable, or difficult.
    You can also exit Disk Utility to perform a reinstalltion of the operating system, or recovery from a Time Machine backup.
    As a last ditch, you can use disk Utility to completely erase your startup disk, in preparation for reinstallation of the OS. (this is after ALL ELSE fails)

    I was also getting the same error; the solution wasn't in getting lates JRE , or FireFox plugin...etc...
    Actually it is and it isn't:
    Everything on my computre seemed like it was at the correct meeting center version for our site..the correct JRE and plugin for firefox; but it would error our "Error [7] ...commonuiart.framework" ... or some other framework..
    So after trying everything but re-installing the web-meeting-center....I did what I usually don't do to solve a technical issue.. I re-installed it (I use this as very last resort and in this case it worked) Yes I re-installed the version that should be available in the "Download" section for your host webex site (yes every

  • I have a mac book air 11". When I boot up connected to the huge Thunderbolt  screen it detects the detects the fact and gives me great quality. now I am travelling away from the scree it boots up, nice picture, then switches to rubbish resolution.

    I have a Mac Book air 11". Normally at home I connect this to a large Thuderbolt Screen. When booting up it some times gets confused and offers me a low resolution result, but some plugging and unplugging of the screen fixes this. I assume it sometimes "sees" the big screen and sets the resolition accordingly. Sometimes does not. But now... I am away from big screen and cannot get the Macbook air on its one to deliver anything other than really poor resolution. I ahve done displays and chosen all three - but no better. And I have said Choose the Best ONe... again not luck. Any ideas. I read in back posts this was a problem a few years ago.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I believe you have a failing GPU (aka Video Card). Run AHT and see what it tells you. Do not be afraid to run it up to three times in succession if at first it does not detect an error (sometimes errors that are caused by overheating will not show up until the computer is stressed enough - repeating AHT will do that).
    As an aside - the MBA was not designed to take the place of a desktop. If you are powering your MBA by leaving it permanently attached to the thunderbolt port on the monitor you are shortening your battery life.
