  • Macbook air apparently has liquid damage???

    Need advice please! Bought a macbook air from littlewoods in july 2010. Had problems after one month with the airport - it would not switch on, or if it did turn on it would turn off again within minutes (note: i'm not talking about connecting to wifi here - the airport itself would not turn on). Then a few weeks ago, it got even worse to the point where it doesnt turn on at all. This is a major problem for me because i need an internet connection for my work at university. I therefore temporarily used tethering to my iphone.
    Next, one day last week, the macair switched off itself and would not turn on. It also went extremely hot - so hot i couldnt even touch it.
    So i called up the mac support line the next day but when i tried to switch the laptop on, it wouldnt even flicker - not even with the charger in. I was told that it was a hardware problem and take it into a mac store, which i did
    At the store, the mac turned on (i assume because it had time to cool down) but the airport was still problematic, so they took it in to run further tests and determine the cause
    Today, i received a call where apple say that the airport problems are caused by liquid damage, even thiugh i DEFINITELY did not drop any sort of liquid on it.
    They also said it will cost £1539.60 to repair (as liquid damage is not covered in the warranty) because everything needs replacing (including things like the speakers) - everything else however, works fine!!
    There is no way that i dropped any liquid on the notebook. I've barely even used it!
    Since apple will not repair or accept it back under the warranty, i talked to littlewoods and they said they cannot accept it back either.
    We haven't even paid for it yet - the first installment is in july.
    What would you advise?? I am considering putting in a complaint because in my opinion, it is a manufacturing problem.. Or when it went hot, the parts must have melted. I certainly did not cause any damage to it :S
    Please help!!

    Your best bet is to take this up with a manager at Apple Customer Support.

  • Loading Adobe Photoshop on my MacBook Air (2014) without an optical drive

    My lab at the University already has Adobe Photoshop. I am wondering how do I download it on my new MacBook Air (2014) without an optical drive.
    Another query is about the usability of photoshop on MacBook Air. Mine is a 1.4Ghz, 128gb, 8mb (RAM) MAB. I am not a heavy user of Photoshop, but I need it once in a while for improving images from experiments. These images are mostly kept in a dropbox.  I am wondering if the above specification sufficient.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank

  • Macbook Air (2014) sound fluctuation

    Hi guys,
    My macbook air 2014, running on yosemite has been having sound fluctuations in particular during video playback. Both on quicktime and VLC. Fluctuations happen even when I have my headsets plugged in.
    Anyone able to assist?

    Perhaps a PRAM reset will work:

  • Macbook Air 2014 is very slow after waking from sleep

    Constantly, when using my Macbook Air 2014 without power cord (which I am required to do at College), when my laptop goes to sleep, and I then immediately click to wake it up, it takes at least 20 seconds before the log on screen will come up.  The machine has also crashed twice in the past week.  Is there a solution for this? 

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the Mac Book Air forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • USB 3.0 external drive extremely slow on Macbook Air 2014

    Dear Apple Support Team & Folks in Apple Community,
    Seriously, I have a problem with my new Macbook Air 2014 which has equipped with USB 3.0 port. I read through the forum and hardly find a solution for this.
    Recently, I plugged in my USB 3.0 external drive and expect that it would reach the same file transfer speed as that on my PC. Instead of 625 MB/s (5 Gbit/s), it was hardly reaching 60 MB/s (480 Mbit/s) to my surprise! Sounds like Macbook Air doesn't recognize USB 3.0 device properly. I have tried Western Digital and Seagate devices but failed to get reasonable transfer speed on my Macbook Air.
    I tried it again with my USB 2.0 external drive on Macbook Air and only got the transfer speed around 15 - 20 MB/s which is disappointing.
    Any patches or Firmware updates would be appreciate!
    I have OS X 10.9.3 already with EFI and SMC update patched by App Store.

    I would be interested to know which consumer grade non-raid external harddisk that could reach 6xx mb/sec.
    The speed you mentioned should be normal, since most of these are 5400rpm drives (asumming it is 2.5 inch).

  • Is Macbook Air still relevant? Should I go for refurbished Macbook Air (2014) or Pro (2014)??

    Hi Friends,
    I need your help in making the decision on Mac. I am buying a refurbished Mac. Here are the options before me:
    1. 13' Macbook Air (2014). 4GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. Price: AUD 1179/-
    2. 13' Macbook Pro (2014). 8GB RAM, 128 GB SSD. Price: AUD 1359/-
    3. 13' Macbook Pro (2014). 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. Price: AUD 1569/-
    My personal favorites are 1st and 3rd options (due to 256GB SSD). There is significant price gap between these two.
    This would be my first Mac. I already have a 15 inch Windows Laptop with 4'th gen i5-4200 U CPU, 8GB RAM, 2GB GeForce GT 740M Graphics card, 1366*768 resolution. I am keeping the Windows laptop as well. So, I won't be using VMs or Boot-camp for now. I would use is mostly for light work, like - browsing, taking backup of iPhone, movies, photos, etc.
    But I have following doubts.
    A. Would Macbook Air be relevant in the market after launch of new retina Macbook?
    B. Would 4GB of RAM be sufficient for next, say, three years?
    C. Would the lack of retina display in MBA be a problem in future? (Personally, I did not find much difference (may be, my bad) for 13' screen.)
    D. If I decide to go for MBP with 8 GB RAM, but only 128 GB SSD, would it be preferable over (4GB RAM with 256GB SSD of MBA) or (8GB RAM with 128GB SSD of MBP)?
    E. Finally, What is your opinion after looking at above three options and their respective pricing?
    Thanks a lot for your patience and help mates! Cheers!

    Until a month ago my main computer was a 13" 2011 MBA (4GB w/ 256GB SSD) when I replaced it with a 13" 2015 MBP retina (8GB w/ 512GB SSD). The MBA is now my backup computer (and will remain my travel computer). I bought the MBPr when it became time to replace the Air due to the display pure and simple. My older eyes appreciate the incredibly clear display and the fact that changing between its default resolutions all result in crystal clear text. Using the Air for hours at a time, with some apps, my eyes became fatigued and while I could change the resolution for larger text, the text was fuzzy. The MBPr is a dream. However the Air is significantly lighter and thinner and much nicer to travel with. Were my eyes better I'd have chosen the 2015 Air.
    I strongly recommend 8GB of RAM and a minimum of 256GB SSD. Depending on what software you use, 4GB will be sufficient now but three years down the road? I doubt it. Each new version of the OS has required more memory. With Mavericks (OS X 10.9) the 4GB was fine but with Yosemite I now see a moderate level of what Apple now calls memory pressure. That means my computer is now relying heavily on virtual memory. I suspect that with 10.11 and certainly 10.12 (or whatever Apple calls the next two versions of its OS) I'll have to change how I use the Air. In other words I won't be able to run 3-5 programs at a time which is how I prefer to work.

  • Macbook air 2014 wine spill, back to life

    Hello
    I'm not sure if anyone would have any experience of this, but in July, after 8 weeks of owning my macbook air, it was in the firing line after I knocked a glass of wine over.  Only a very small amount went on the mac, however by the time I'd got the carpet under control my Mac was off and not showing any signs of life.  (yes i am an idiot)
    I took it to a storefront retailer who took it off to look over it and was advised that it needed a new motherboard and keyboard to the sum of around £900, naturally I couldn't afford this after only just splashing out on the laptop.
    Flash forward 4 months and I get my mac out of its box where it's been since being sent back and I go to list in on eBay for spares.  I plug it in while i'm taking pictures in case of a miracle, and low and behold it starts charging, then springs to life with all my data still intact.  It appears to have charged fine and is holding the charge well, the backlit keyboard and all the keys work fine and it survived in sleep mode over night......it simply is working like it should and doesn't feel sticky and not a whiff of red wine.
    Does anyone have experience of this?  I'm thinking that the store didn't take a decent amount of time to look over it and it was send off the day after the incident so was not fully dry and wrote it off based on my description of what happened, likely?

    Not entirely sure what the quality of the wine has to do with the justification for repairing the machine but I suppose everyone goes about repairing things differently.
    First Question: Do you have renter's or homeowner's insurance that covers damage to personal technology? If so, give them a call to see what (if anything) is covered, the deductible, etc. For example, I have a rider for personal electronics that in the event of loss, damage or theft I'm covered for the replacement cost of my machine and a very small out of pocket coverage.
    Second Question: Did you use a major credit card to purchase the machine? Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express? Some of them, based on the type of card offer additional options for replacement or repair coverage. It takes a 5 minutes to call and find out and it may save you some out of pocket money.
    Third Question: How old is the machine? If it's a newer machine it's cheaper to fix it then replace it, if it's an older machine and based on how old it may potentially be a wash (value vs. cost of replacement).
    In the event that you decide to fix it, Apple can fix it (out of warranty) but it'll run several hundred dollars (something like $700 or so USD) but you can't replace a MacBook Air for that price in the form of buying a new one. As AA suggested, selling it for scrap parts is also an option but you're looking at a couple of hundred bucks in your pocket, at best.

  • Why is Macbook air 2014 used 15 days, the battery is lost 2,5% ?

    Dear Sir or Madam,
    I just bought a new macbook air Early 2014 and the first time charging  and calibrated 3 times. Every it time i try charging 8 hours right , but now my battery is only 97,5%, so I was really disappointed in the quality of products.
    The second, when i turned my mac display from white blue and after switch to white yellow. I check display it produced by Samsung vendor " LS "
    Help me please feedback as soon as possible. The macbook air just active August 21,2014
    Hien Duong

    No current production Mac battery requires "calibration", so whatever you did is a waste of time and will not help. Discharging it completely more than once a month or so will needlessly reduce its longevity.
    Read: Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance
    It is not possible to make any determination regarding its battery in such a short amount of time. Over the long term, its full charge capacity will decrease. Over the short term, it can either decrease or increase. What you are describing is not abnormal.

  • Macbook Air 2014 samsung ssd

    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to this forum and I just wanted to ask, because I'm wondering, if there are any MacBook Airs of 2014 with a Samsung SSD?
    I've read a lot of the slower Sandisk an Toshiba SSD's which showed up in many speed comparisions between the 2013 and 2014 model.
    But, I just ordered a 2014 Model anyway, with i5, 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD... But I'm not sure if I should send it back if there is a Toshiba or Sandisk SSD in it.
    I searched this forum and found quite a lot of informations, but nothing regarding if there ARE Samsung SSD's in the 2014 models or not.
    Hope some one can help me.
    Thanks and greetings from Austria.
    PS: And please excuse my bad english

    Hi and thanks for your reply.
    I know that I can identify the ssd manufacturer via the apple menu.
    And I know that there are Sandisk, Toshiba and Samsung SSD's... At least in 2013.
    The question is, are there 2014 mba too with a Samsung SSD?
    Because I read on this forum that the $100 off are because of the slower SSD.
    So, does anyone have a 2014 mba with a Samsung SSD??
    Thanks again and kinda regards

  • Macbook Air 2014 4gb or 8gb Ram

    I am looking at buying a Macbook and I am pretty much set on the 2014 13inch Macbook Air but can't decide whether to buy the standard model with 4gb ram or order online and upgrade to 8gb.  I'll be using itunes, web with a few tabs open, documents, email and word.  Thanks

    Better to go ahead and spend the extra $$ and go with 8GB's of RAM. The more RAM the better the performance and stability on your Mac and well worth the extra $100 investment.
    And keep in mind, RAM cannot be upgraded at a later date on a MacBook Air as the RAM is soldered to the logic board.

  • Macbook Air 2014 refresh: slow SSD?

    MacWorld reports that SSD speeds are very much slower with the refreshed Macbook Air. I was going online to order one just now but I saw this article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2150841/lab-tested-new-2014-macbook-air-benchmar ks.html
    Can someone at Apple comment? Is it fixable? This is a dealbreaker for me, so I'm holding off on purchase (even though I really need an Air ASAP) until I get more info on a solution. Would appreciate a response. I'll just get a used 2013 model unless there's a fix in the works. Thanks!

    In the meantime, we have noticed a vast difference in write speeds between the two SSD offerings that we’ve received so far. The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD as our 11-inch model was configured. the write SPEED performance is mainly due to NAND densities and not brand performance in these cases, but we’ll know more once we can run the same tests on a few more models.
    SSD densities on 256 and 512 are higher, and therefore faster than 128GB SSD
    however the real truth is:
    just slower on random writes
    Ultimately it all levels out,  so the figures are spurious
    However the 802AC wifi is about 15% faster on the new 2014 AIR
