My new MacBook Air keeps shutting down the screen while I use it

My new MacBook Air keeps shutting down the screen while I use it and has to be rebooted. I took it in to the Genius desk at my local store, but they couldn't find anything wrong and said that they have never seen this problem before.
I Spoke to the IT support guy at work. He has the same problem with his new MacBook, but not with his older one. He suggested that it is a software issue with all new MacBooks and is connected to the timing of it going into sleep mode. Does anybody have a solution? Apple doesn't seem to have one.

I don’t know why this happens and with the information you have provided I doubt anyone can do so so with accuracy.

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down when the screen is closed

Hi, I have a 2011 15inch MacBook Pro and it keeps shutting down rather than sleeping when I shut the screen. It also shuts down when left for short periods of time rather than sleeping. I have updated it yesterday and still the problem happens. I also installed a virus check to see if that was the problem and it didnt find anything it could fix! Any help is much appreciated!!!

Try a SMC reset. That may correct the situation.

My MacBook Air keeps shutting down and restarting - even with the lid closed.

My MacBook Air keeps asking to confirm shutdown and if I don't respond within 5 secs in shuts and restarts - constantly. Gap between restrats is never more than afew minutes. Running OS X.6.8. Software up to date. Any ideas?

The audio on my macbook air keeps shutting down

I have just had a new Macbook air with OS X 10.9 on it.
The audio works on speakers and also on headphones when I start up the computer, but after I plug in my headphones and used an application like Skype or just itunes, and then close the screen for a while, the audio stops working on both the mini-jack port and the built in speakers.
Yes, I have tried all the steps from this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574
The built in speakers are on, it is not muted, the volume scale goes up and down - but there is no sound output whatsoever.
If I restart the computer, the audio works again, but it is getting a little tedious having to restart my mac whenever I want the audio to work.
Anyone with similar experience? Am I unknowingly doing some kind of keyboard shortcut that disables all audio?
Help!

Yes, this is a known little issue Ive personally tested quite a lot, .....techs are working on a fix.
A: if you put your Air to sleep keep headphones unplugged
B: go into Sys preference > energy > UNcheck "put hard disks to sleep" on both tabs
C: IF you have the APP BOOM installed........REMOVE it, period
Peace

No, its a little issue to be fixed in Mavericks with the Air.

My macbook air keeps shutting down unexpectedly, any thoughts? It seems to be while streaming movies etc and i think it's when the power cable is plugged in, not while on battery

It's only 3 months old, I think it's mostly while streaming movies from the net whilst the power supply is plugged in? I have seen a couple of other similar posts. Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated.

MacBook air 11" shuts down when trying to install mountain lion

And other applications aswell..
What to do? I've tried to reset SMC..

At what point is the shutdown occuring? As soon as you launch the install app?
If so, I would trash the install app file, and re-download it.
First, you might try running a Repair Permissions & a Verify Disk from the Recovery Partition. It is always a good idea to do this before any major software update/upgrade.

Macbook Air Randomly Shutting Down

My macbook air keeps shutting down unexpectedly when connected to the charger. I have reset the SMC but it did not help. This only happens when connected to power and when I press the power button it turns on normally and picks up from where I was.

My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down before I can even start it up, what do i do?

My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down when the loading-circle appears at start-up. I can only log on to my Bootcamp Windows mode. When i try to format Mac (via command+R) i'm told i'm not allowed to since the disks are locked - Mac is administrator, and obviously I'm not logged in. What do I do?

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power

My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power, even when fully charged. I took it into Apple store, Leicester, UK - battery diagnostic shows good condition so they updated the system but that hasn't worked. I'm running OS X 10.6.8

Thanks! I've followed your suggestion and so far my MacBook has been behaving for the past few hours without being plugged into mains power! Fingers crossed...

My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own!

My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own, and this is the second IPad Air doing this. I really don't want to go trade it in for another. Does anyone have the same issue and is there a way to fix it? And yes I've done the manual reset and computer reset.

Memory Size & The Impact of 64-bit Applications
The iPad Air, like the iPhone 5s, ships with 1GB of LPDDR3 memory. Apple frowns upon dissection of review samples but I think it’s a safe bet that we’re not talking about a PoP (Package-on-Package) configuration but rather discrete, external DRAM here. It’s also probably a safe bet that even the iPad mini with Retina Display will ship with 1GB of memory as well.
Something I didn’t have time to address in my iPhone 5s review was the impact of 64-bit applications on memory usage. I actually ran some tests after the 5s review hit but never got the chance to share the data, so I figured now is as good a time as any to do just that.
Unlike traditional desktop OSes, iOS doesn’t support paging to disk (or in this case, NAND). Application data can either reside in memory or the associated process is terminated and has to be reloaded the next time you request it. It’s a decision likely made to both maintain user experience and limit the number of program/erase cycles on the internal NAND.
The good news is that iOS was architected to run on as little hardware as possible and as a result tends to be quite memory efficient. There are also power implications of going to larger memories. The combination of these two things has kept Apple on the conservative side of increasing memory capacity on many iDevices.
The move to a 64-bit platform however does complicate things a bit. Moving to a larger memory address space increases the size of pointers, which in turn can increase the footprint of 64-bit applications compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So although there’s clearly a performance uplift from app developers recompiling in 64-bit mode (more registers, access to new instructions), there’s also an associated memory footprint penalty. Since the iPad Air and iPhone 5s don’t feature a corresponding increase in memory capacity, I wondered if this might be a problem going forward.
To find out I monitored total platform memory usage in a couple of scenarios. Before measuring I always manually quit all open apps and performed a hard reset on the device. Note that the data below is reporting both clean and dirty memory, so it’s possible that some of the memory space could be recovered in the event that another process needed it. I hoped to minimize the impact by always working on a cleanly reset platform and only testing one app at a time.
I looked at memory usage under the following scenarios:
1) A clean boot with no additional apps open
2) Running Mobile Safari with 4 tabs open (two AnandTech.com tabs, two Apple.com tabs, all showing the same content)
3) Infinity Blade 3 (64-bit enabled) sitting at the very first scene once you start the game
4) iOS Maps in hybrid view with 3D mode enabled, with a WiFi assisted GPS lock on my physical location
5) Google Maps in the same view, under the same conditions. I threw in this one to have a 32-bit app reference point.
In general you’re looking at a 20 - 30% increase in memory footprint when dealing with an all 64-bit environment. At worst, the device’s total memory usage never exceeded 60% of what ships with the platform but these are admittedly fairly light use cases. With more apps open, including some doing work in the background, I do see relatively aggressive eviction of apps from memory. The most visible case is when Safari tabs have to be reloaded upon switching to them. Applications being evicted from memory don’t tend to be a huge problem since the A7 can reload them quickly.
The tricky part is you don’t really need all that much more memory. Unfortunately as with any dual-channel memory architecture, you’re fairly limited in how you can increase memory capacity and still get peak performance. Apple’s only move here would be to go to 2GB, which understandably comes with both power and financial costs. The former is a bigger concern for the iPhone 5s, but on the iPad Air I would’ve expected a transition sooner rather than later.

ITunes keeps shutting down when I open it up. The message says iTunes has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.
