My MacBook Air randomly locks up

Hello.
Last Friday I was working on my MacBook Air (13', mid-2011, OS X Mavericks) as usual when suddenly right in the middle of something my Mac just locked up. It completely froze – I was not even able to move my cursor. For a minute I tried to press different buttons, but nothing helped, so I ended up hard resetting my Mac and continued to work, thinking that it was a random error and it would never happen again.
However, on Saturday my Mac froze in exactly the same way when I war reading my Facebook feed. Then, a few hours later, it froze right in the middle of web surfing. Today, it froze on the desktop, and just a couple of minutes ago it completely locked up when I was editing a Pages file.
Yesterday I ran Disk Diag and it said I had a few errors that I needed to fix in a safe mode. I did a restart with Command+R, ran Disk Diag again and after a few minutes of some work the utility said it fixed all problems and my disk was okay. However, as my Mac keeps locking up, it seems that this didn't solve the issue.
Is there any way to see what's going on exactly when my Mac locks up? Are there any log files or other means of checking what's exactly going wrong?
I suspect there might be a hardware problem (wither SSD failing or memory leaks), but it's better to be sure before I make any conclusions. I was planning to do a full restore of my Mac, but changed my mind for now – if there is indeed a way to make sure this is a hardware failure, not software, I don't see the point in reinstalling everything.
I will appreciate any help. Thanks!

Anti virus software installed? Any apps such as MacKeeper or other third party cleaning utilities?
Make sure there's enough free storage space.
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

What is the Pin Code for unlock for Macbook Air System Lock ?

What is the Pin Code for unlock for Macbook Air System Lock ?

It usually means that the owner of the device sent a directive through icloud(find my mac), to lock the device because it has been stolen.
The only means to unlock the device is to have Apple (Apple Store) unlock it for the owner. If you are the owner, be prepared to show proof of legitimate ownership. It is likely that Apple will want to contact the registered owner to make sure that the device has been legitmately transferred.
I'm really thinking you may have bought stolen property. Ask the seller why it is locked, and if the device is registered to him/her, to release the registration on Apple's website. Only then, will you be able to re-register the device in YOUR name.

Macbook Air Random crashing

Hi Folks
I have been having some major issues with my Macbook Air (mid 2011, Yosemite 10.10.1, 1.6GHZ core i5, 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3)
It randomly crashes during use. Programs stop working and then the spinning beachball pops up for a few seconds before everything crashes and I have to power off/on
I did a number of system resets and reinstallation's and for a while now I have had it running generally ok except a few crashes here and there when I am using it a lot. Just had a few issues tonight and had 3 crashes in quick succession and also the ? folder pop up once.
For the first time though the system reported an error code and I have pasted it below. Has anyone seen this before or can anyone decipher what it means? I am no expert so it means very little to me. Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks

Hello jonny550,
Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Air is suffering from repeated crashes. In your post you wrote "Just had a few issues tonight and had 3 crashes in quick succession and also the ? folder pop up once," which leads me to believe your computer needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Macbook Air random freeze and reboot, plus other problems

I've had my Macbook Air for about 6 weeks and am having several issues. It is the 13" model, special ordered with 8GB of ram so it came straight from the factory. I copied all my data over from a mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro using migration assistant, and for the most part it has been a wonderful machine. There are a few problems, however, and now it is getting more serious.
First, I visited my closest Apple store to have them look at the wifi and bluetooth connection. It was not picking up wifi after waking up, and the same for my bluetooth mouse. They replaced some files and tested it out and it appeared to be fixed, but the problem persists. At least 50% of the time when I wake it up after leaving for 30-60 minutes, I click the mouse and it wakes up, but then there is no response when I move or click the mouse again. I often have to turn the mouse off and on several times to get it to connect.
Wifi is the same, though not as bad. Probably 10% of the time, it will not connect to a known wifi spot after wake. Sometimes it even tells me that none of my trusted networks are available, even when the network I use everyday is listed as available. This is a minor inconvenience, but it is a problem I never had with the macbook pro. Instead of picking up wifi within 10 seconds of wake, it can take as long as 60-90 seconds.
Now the real issues begin. Yesterday morning I stepped away from the computer for a few minutes, and when I returned it had rebooted itself. I do not know why. Only a few programs were running, nothing like system update that would restart the computer. I did a search online but could not find anything recent enough to point to a possible problem.
Then this morning it froze while I was using it. Mouse and keyboard (both external and the ones on the laptop) stopped responding. After a few minutes of waiting I finally shut it down by holding the power button until it turned off. This was alarming, especially less than 2 months after buying the machine. I will likely make an appointment at the Apple store again but these issues happen randomly and if I can't reproduce it they have little hope of diagnosing the problem.
Has anyone else had similar issues? I have run system update and nothing else is pending. This weekend I may restore it to factory settings and load all my data manually instead of copying from timemachine, but that is a royal pain. I'm looking for any suggestions of what to do because I planned to use this computer for years and the first 6 weeks have been very frustrating.

It is probably best to return to the Apple store for assistance, however, you do have 90 days of phone (in the US 800-275-2273) access to Apple which you can use too. If you buy Applecare anytime in the first year of ownership, the warranty and phone access is extended for a total of 3 years coverage (warranty and phone).

Macbook Air is locked. What command should I use to reboot? Why is this happening? Pics included

I recently got a MacBook Air from someone who owed me money. The MacBook Air is completely locked and Im not sure how to bypass the secured login screen or which code to use that will boot in an alternative mode. I've tried Command + R, Command + S, Option and none of these three worked. When I press Command + R, I get the following lock screen (the picture is just upside down, not sure why.)
I own a macbook pro and have reset my password using Command+R. Not sure if MacBook Airs need a different command. When I press Command+S I get a loading screen, then a screen that tells me "Your computer is disabled. Try Again in 60 minutes"
Why is this happening?
What command can I press to bypass this?
Could I put a clean OS on a USB drive and install it that way to have a clean install? If so, how do I boot it, if I can only get to these screens?
Now that my computer is disabled and I have to wait 60 minutes, should I perform the correct command once the time is expired or can I use it immediately, while the disabled time is still active?
Please help!!!!
Also, not sure which OS its running since I can't get pass this to fully inspect the Macbook Air.

That is an EFI Firmware Password.
There are only two ways around it: bring it and some money to Apple, who will certainly want proof of ownership, or obtain the password from its previous owner.
A third method that I do not recommend is to pay any number of sketchy third party outfits that allege a means of removing the password. There are several reasons I do not recommend it, among them: I have no personal experience with them, I have no idea if they will be successful, and you may have no recourse if they damage the Mac and render it permanently broken. Apple will certainly refuse service if anyone other than Apple or an authorized Apple repair facility tampers with it.

Week Old MacBook Air - Random Kernel Panics - NEED HELP!

Specs : MacBook Air 11" - i7 - 8GB RAM - 256 SSD
I have had this laptop for a little over a week now and continuously keep having KPs, what seem to be random and not tied to any specific program, just seems to happen while I am download a file from the internet. Frustrating because I can not even download the update form 10.8.0 -> 10.8.2!!!
I have done the following:
     -Reset PRAM
     -Reset SMC
     -Restored from SCRATCH
     -Disconnected all peripherals
     -Tested RAM with memtest (OK)
     -Tested HDD with DiskUtility (OK)
I would just bring it back to an Apple store, but I live in the Dominican Republic and picked it up while I was passing through Miami.
Below is the log form the most recent KP.
Please help!

After doing an extensive Hardware Test, I believe that I found the culprit. Looks like my "brand new" Macbook Air came with a faulty hdd. Seems to me as if Apple is starting to cut corners and be the Apple of old... Using their image to demand premium price and maximize profit while progressively using cheaper and cheaper parts within their products.
1. You clearly have no understanding of statistics and failure rate. Even a company with the most efficient and best products will have a certain rate of failure (even some products arriving dead on arrival), regardless of how much they do or do not spend on components and quality control.
2. Apple doesn't manfacture the hard drives.
3. How do you know how much they spend on parts?

Macbook air randomly shuts off and won't turn back on

I have a 2011 Macbook Air that was given to me by my sister. She told me about a year ago she spilled water on the keyboard and it stopped working for a while. She took it to apple and they told her it was going to cost 700 dollars to replace so she decided not to. After a while the laptop randomly turned back on and started working fine. I ended up getting it as a free gift and it was working perfectly fine for about a month and a half until recently it randomly shut off on me. After it shuts off, it wouldn't turn back on through pressing the power button I left it alone and after a day it randomly turned back on and worked like normal. After about 15 minutes of use it randomly shuts down and won't turn back on. I tried resetting SMC to no avail. It randomly turns on for about 15 minutes before it feels like it gets slightly hot and shuts off. Any help will be great!

Try running an Apple Hardware Test:

If you find you can't, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be free and then you should know what the problems are with your MBA.
Ciao.

2010 MacBook air randomly logged out twice today. Installed new version of Flash earlier today. I wonder if there is a connection.

My MacBook Air (13" 2010) randomly logged out twice today.
The only new software is a Flash update.
Anyone experiencing anything similar?
Any suggestions?
Darin

Ddevore,
Console is located in the Utilities folder, which is inside the Applications folder. I've attached a screen shot of what I'm referring to for visual reference. The import thing is that you get the information that Console logged just prior to the logout occurring.

MacBook Air - cable lock port?

Hi all - quick question - I just ordered MacBook Air and one thing that completely slipped my mind is if it has a place to attach a cable lock? I don't think I'd really need to lock it 99% of the time, but I'd just like to know if its an option should I ever need to.

Sorry for delayed response - yes, I received the computer and see that it has no place to install a Kensington type of lock. Its understandable that there's no connector for the lock since the computer itself is so small.Will just have to be extra careful with it then.

MacBook Air Kensington Lock?

I use my MacBook Air in Hotels and Coffee Shops etc. whilst travelling - has anybody found a 'Kensington Lock' or any otherr device that can be used in the absence of a 'Kensington Slot' on this Model?

There have been several posts regarding this. Use the SEARCH function to locate.

Brand New MacBook Air Randomly Resetting (IMO WiFi Issue)

Good evening,
My problem is as follows:
I purchased a brand new Macbook Air last week and since the get go have been having issues while transferring large amounts of data over WIFI. The issue is that it seems when there is no activity (I leave the files transferring and have no interaction with the computer) and the files are transferring, some sort of error occurs and creates the system to panic and subsequently reboots.
I have contacted Apple, and they ran me through a few common procedures (Reset SMC, RAM, Disk Repair, etc...). On my own I also ran the Hardware Tool several times and the results was always the same (everything in perfectly working order). I also did a restore in the event that it may be some faulty system file, yet to no avail as the problem persists.
As per my title, I believe it has something to do with WiFi card, as I even disconnected all peripherals (USB Apple Keyboard & My Passport External HDD), yet again and as mentioned above the system continues to reboot without any apparent reason.
Below is a copy of the log, certain information has been changed such as UUID, but everything else is as is.
Could it be a hardware problem? As I am only seeing (as of now) this happen whenever I leave the computer and it is downloading a file.

MacBook Air, Random Fullness of space

I have a MacBook Air 11", and whenever i go to about This Mac and go to More Info, then storage to see whats taking up all my storage, Theres Yellow saying Others taking up half the bar... But I dont know what others is. Could anyone please help me, Im always deleting stuff on my computer to make more room, thanks

The Storage breaks out categories for music, movies etc. Other is everything else which includes the operating system and related files, word processing files, etc etc etc.

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.

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".

My macbook air keeps locking and asking me restart

This is becoming increasingly frequesnt and seems to be after installing mountain lion. Can anyone please translate. Very frustrating. Thanks.

That kernel panic indicates you are running Lion, not Mountain Lion. If you think you installed Mountain Lion, it might not have completed correctly and is what is causing the kernel panics. You should try to reinstall Mountain Lion from the Recovery HD.
If that still fails,
You don't have any third party kernel extensions, so it would likely be a hardware problem.
There have been a few graphics card related issues, but I think that is with the NVidia cards.
Do you have anything connected to the Air (hard drive, usb hub, etc) when you get the kernel panics?
Do you have an Apple Store with a Genius bar nearby? Or, contact AppleCare and report the issue.

Help please...MacBook Air is locked up.

I cannot get close anything...restarting doesn't help. There is a phone number it wants me to call but its scam. There is also several warnings... I am unable to click off or close them...

There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
