My mac book air makes 3 beeping sounds

my macbook air is making 3 beeping sounds and has a black screen. thisnhas happened before and i got a new hardware installed. how do i make the beeping noises stop? i want to avoid spending money again to get this fixed, please help

What have you installed on the Mac? 3 beeps indicates that memory is defective. As the memory on a MacBook Air is soldered, the only solution is to take the computer to an Apple Store or reseller. First, try to remove that hardware that you have installed

    Beeps on startup:
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images.
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

    If you recently installed new ram, make sure it is seated properly.
    If that doesn't work try removing one stick at a time to see if one is dead or put original ram back in.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

    Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

    Thanks for the help
    I submitted my feedback and it reads "Hi Apple, My family owns an Ipod Shuffle, 2 Nanos, 2 iphones, one ipad and the AppleTV.  However, I have an HP laptop.  Why?  I want the features of both the laptop and the ipad but am not willing to convert to the MAC book until the ipad and the mac book merge together as one.  Is this even a possibility?  I know you could create it in a split second.  Why do you think you haven't?  I get sick of unclicking the ipad from my cheap keyboard and then having it all cluttered up right by my laptop.  If the mac book had a touch screen and it could flip the keyboard upside down (like the clam case does) so that I could use a laptop like an ipad then I would be on cloud 9.  No pun intended.  In fact, why don't you just call the thing "Cloud9."  Just sayin'"
    It would be cool if they were creating it right now.  I would be all over it.

    iPad makes beeping sounds when charging while connected to mac

    First off, I suggest using the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a good wall outlet. USB ports often do not supply enough power for efficient charging on an iPad.

  • I have an HP 3250 e allin one printer. I have downloaded tie software on to my Mac Book air. When I try to print the MacBook shows it is printing but nothing happens at the printer. What is wrong?

    I have ab HP 3250 e all in one printer. I have downloaded the software and installed on my Mac Book Air running OS X Mavericks. When  I try to print from the Mac Book it shows that it is printing but nothing happens at the printer end.  Why?

    How do I change my primary email address on the Mac Book?

    Hello Bruarong,
    It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I can not get my mac book air off mute

    I can not get my mac book air off mute and it is grayed out in the "system Preferance" sound section page.

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.app
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so uncheck it.
        Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.
    6. Install Combo Update ML 10.8.3
