MacBook Air doesn't recognize its own hard drive.

Hey, so I have a MacBook Air that I purchased in 2012 and last night, I was going to download the new update for my iPhone, but before I did, iTunes mentioned something about transferring new purchases. The only thing close enough to consider as such were two new apps I downloaded for free. However, after I synced my iPhone and was about to start the update, it froze. So I restarted it and when I did a blank screen with a flashing question mark showed up. It did that foray hour or two and then I got to the Mac OS X Utilities screen with the four options to restore my computer. I couldn't use any of these though because my computer didn't recognize its hard drive. Planning to take it in for help but would love to hear any suggestions. Thanks!

It sounds like your SSD (Solid State Drive) has failed, mine did the same thing two weeks ago. There has been a problem with the 2012 MBA SSDs and many people have the same issue. If you take it to Apple, they should be able to sort it out.

My macbook air doesn't recognize the built-in facetime camera

my macbook air (late 2010) no longer recognizes the built-in camera. It was working fine until now, and I am not sure if there is some sort of diagnosis that I can run to try to resolve this myself?

im having the same problem. But it's on macbook pro 2011. pls help us.

HT3275 macbook air doesn't recognize time capsule

time capsule isn't recognized by Air. The amber light just keeps blinking. I have a new router that has a different name and have an ethernet connected to the Time Capsule. If my wireless is working why can't I find the Time Capsule on my computer?
Please help. thanks

Need some more details.. what is the main modem? What is the router that the TC is plugged into?
Is the TC setup in bridge? Why not plug the TC straight into the modem?
TC may not be available on the computer because you are connected to the wireless router and not the TC.
Do you have anything with ethernet to do the setup on the TC.. working with wireless is a pain, Payne.
The air has a usb to ethernet adapter to get you out of trouble.
If you are stuck with wireless, turn off any other wireless router.. press and hold the TC reset button for 10sec.. then the only wireless the Air should see if the TC. Connect and run the utility.. bridge the TC.. sorry but how to do that without using 5.6 utility you will need to look up.. but somewhere there is internet connection and you should be able to select connection sharing.. off bridge mode. Once you do that, updat the TC.. and plug it back into the main router and start everything up again.
It might also be a good idea to fix the wireless names, short no spaces pure alphanumeric and lock the channels wireless is using. That improves the stability of the system.

Hi, my macbook air doesn´t recognize my password :( and i can't change it with my apple id cause its not activated.. help!!

Can somebody help me?? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In this case, you have to reset the password. If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, see "Resetting your original administrator account password" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
If you are using OS X Mountain Lion and/or Lion, see > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101

Hi Chalmita,
For your immediate issue of the MacBook Air not shutting down, try the following:
OS X Yosemite: Log out, sleep, restart, and shut down
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18786?locale=en_US
Hold down the power button until you see the restart, sleep, or shut down dialog, then click Shut Down, or press Return.
If you don’t want the app windows you currently have open to reopen when you restart your Mac and sign in, deselect “Reopen windows when logging back in.”
If your Mac won’t shut down, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to force a shutdown.
Important: If you force a shutdown, you may lose unsaved changes in open documents.
The Mac is completely shut down when there is a black screen, no active power light, and no fan or drive noise.
What version of OS X do you have on your Mac? It might be helpful to back up your computer with Time Machine and update to the latest version, which is 10.0.3. Do the same with your iPhones so that everything is up to date.
Update OS X and App Store apps on your Mac - Apple Support

Macbook air doesn't connect to Sharp Notevision PG-B10S projector

macbook air doesn't connect to Sharp Notevision PG-B10S projector with OS X, same as upgraded to Yosemite

Hi There,
Whenever I hook up a projector that doesn't work with my MacBook (when it shows just a blank, black screen), the first thing I try is going to System Preferences > Displays and setting the resolution of my desktop to 800x600.
Nine times out of ten, the projector starts right up and works perfectly.

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize audio cd's after Yosemite upgrade

After completing the upgrade to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize purchased audio cd's. Help!!

hi russeel!
when i first upgraded to 5.0.1.4 i panicked for a while looking for that tab (and the Burning one) ... the subtab that i find kind of strange is "Advanced-General". Generally Advanced? Not Tremendously Advanced?
okay, we've gone up a
b lot
of versions in your case (nearly as many as it is possible to go), so we'd probably better check through some of the usual suspects. let's start off with this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93444
and these resources might be useful:

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize Flip Mino camera in USB port after Yosemite upgrade

Since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my Flip Mino camera in the USB port.

I don't use FLIP, but if you get no other help here,
consider the following ideas.
If neither restarting your Mac
nor reinstalling OS X fixes your
problem, you might find some
help if you search or post in the
CISCO forum where Flip users post.

Macbook pro doesn't recognize internal speakers

my macbook pro doesn't recognize internal speakers and there is a red light inside the headphone port. How can I get the speakers working again?

In addition to what dominc23 suggests, you may try jiggling a toothpick or cocktail stirrer in order to trip the internal switch. If all fails, the Apple store genius bar is you last resort.
Ciao.

Macbook pro doesn't recognize camera on image capture

My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the built-in camera for a lot of my applications, including Image Capture. It doesn't show up anywhere in my system preferences. Any idea why this is so?

(1) Mac's built-in camera does not work with Image Capture.
Image Capture works with external devices like scanners, some iOS devices, some cameras and RAM cards, etc. Click this link for more info about Image capture and some of the apps that can work with your inbuilt camera.
Click here for info about how to use Image Capture to transfer images from a connected external camera.
For more info about Image Capture functions, see Image Capture > Help on your Mac or the Apple pages in this link.
(2) To test for application-specific problems mentioned in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, use apps like Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, iChat, FaceTime, or others intended to work with your Mac's inbuilt camera.
(3) To test for user-specific problems mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, you must have more than one user account. Do NOT use the "Guest" account. Click this link if you need help creating new accounts for testing.

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize iPhone 4Gs

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs
My Macbook Pro 15 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) doesn't recognize my iPhone 4Gs (iOS5.1)
Suddenly it stopped, last time was April 11 via Wi-Fi.
Now even with the device plugged it can't be recognized.
On iPhone Settings, the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" tab is grayed.
Few days ago iPhone started to behave strangely, refusing to power off, sometimes not charging when plugged to USB port, sometimes does.
Don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance
best

What kind of phone is this? an iphone 4? or an iphone 4S? ( note there is no such phone as an iPhone 4gS)
What you describe here is in my eyes the beginning signs of accidental damge, such as water damge of some sort.
This is a great oppurtunity to see if the same issues you are having when connecting to your computer, replicate when conencted to another computer.
You need to find out if there is a way to test with a new USB cord if possible to rule that out.
Trying to isolate this to, or away from the iphone.

My macbook air doesn't have phone under messages - not syncing

my new macbook air doesn't seem to be syncing messages like my mini, ipad and macbook pro do. I noticed under the Preferences, it has my two .me and .icloud email accounts, but doesn't have the phone number in there or any way to add it.
on another note, it also won't let me connect by bluetooth to my iphone 5 (running IOS7 beta) to use my ATT hotspot - when the other's do...
it also wouldn't allow remote disk installation of my adobe products (when mini worked just fine over remote).
Not sure if they are all related, but strange problems I'm having...

HI,
Are you talking about Messages > Preferences > Accounts ?
You can add @me.com and @icloud.com IDS as valid AIM Screen Names.
One can be used as the iMessages account.
On the iPhone > Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID.
Set Messages to Off.
Wait a few minutes and then turn Messages back on again
Add the Apple ID.
Restart the Mac version of Messages.
You should now get one or two pop ups saying the iPhone is using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number
Accepting these adds the iPhone Number to the Receive At list of "Aliases" and the Send From (Start New Conversations from) drop down.

My FaceTime Camera of my MacBook Air doesn't work in Skype.

My FaceTime Camera of my MacBook Air doesn't work in Skype. I try to make a videocall but my camera doesn't work.

Be sure to check PHOTOBOOTH and FACETIME in more than one user account. However, don't use the "Guest" account for testing. If your Mac only has one account, create a new user account for testing.
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
   often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
   the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of iSight. For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
The same Troubleshooting help for built-in iSight works for FaceTime (and FaceTime HD) cameras, too.
If your camera works with Apple apps in every user account you test, search or post for help in Skype's dedicated forum. The Skype users who post there may have already know the solution for your particular problem.
