My MacBook Air was being turned on and overheating itself

Hello, users
Today I found my MacBook air was being turned on and heating itself even if I haven't used it since last night.
I noticed When I tried to use it and put it out from my backpack and I felt weird because my MacBook in the cotten pouch was really hot.
My MacBook was pulled out immediately, horribly, it was too hot to hold it and I was really surprised!
As soon as I opened the my Mac, it displayed a cursor shotly and it automatically turned off and after that the fan stopped spinning as well.
I just got back home and connected with the power supplier, it had only 0% battery.
This is all I can explain from the beginning to now on.
This is the first time I have experienced this kind of situation.
I think I turned off well after using it yesterday and it wasn't heating in this morning.
I have no idea at all but I guess it would be recent update 2 days ago.
I don't want to imagine the following event if I didn't check it out before it had gone forever.
Do I need to check the condition of my MacBook Air all the time?
Is there any method to prevent this problem?
By the way, My Mac OS X version is now 10.7.5

    And try a different electrical outlet.

  • My macbook air won't turn on and keeps making startup noise.

    My macbook air mouse wasn't responding and I had several windows of google chrome open, the imsg app open, and everything else was closed. I left it on, closed the screen, and returned to it. I was able to login, but the mouse wasn't responding. I forced shut it down, waited a bit, then tried to start it again only to find the screen remained white and kept repeating the startup sound.

  • My macbook air won't turn on and doesn't charge?

    my macbook air won't turn on when it is plugged in.  The light on the connection is orange, not the usual green.

    Orange means charging.
    Keep it plugged in for a while.

  • My macbook air won't turn on and the led light on the cord doesn't light up

    I can't get my macbook air to turn on and the cord light won't go on, either. It was not dead last night when I shut it down . . . any ideas?

    Hello srsymington,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your MacBook Air will not power on, I'd like you to please reset the SMC as directed below.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Macbook air won't turn on and the screen will go white. It says that the start up disk is full. HELP

    When I turn my macbook air on it sends me a message saying that my start up disk is full and that I have to free up some space. When I log in into my account the screen will go white and I won't be able to do anything. I tried to restart my computer in safemode holding down the shift key while restarting it but it won't work. HELP PLEASE.

    If you could boot from an external OS X boot drive then you could delete some files.  You probably don't have such a HDD/Thumb drive but a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider could help you.  This is not a hardware repair so a Genius should not need to charge you for this service.
    Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
    or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
    After it is healthy again I would buy a new external HDD and use Carbon Copy Clone or Super Duper! to create a bootable clone.  Keeping a clone current is also an excellent backup methodology in addition to Time Machine.

  • What do I do when my MacBook Air (refirbished) sometimes turns on and sometimes does not when it is in sleep mode and when I turn it off?

    I got this refirbished MacBook Air sometime in the last week or two. Now lately, when I turn it off or put it in sleep mode, then try to turn it on; it will take a long while to turn on or it will turn on normally. Can anyone help me?

    Try a SMC reset.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    A green light means that your battery is full or that it can't be detected. If you can't start up the Mac, probably your logic board or battery aren't working.
    Take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery or logic board replaced. If the MacBook is in warranty, this repair will be free

  • MacBook Air does not turn on but does this damage it's hard drive ? Can I still save/ recover videos and photos from photo stream?

    My MacBook Air was put on sleep mode and a couple of hours later I attempted to turn it on and no response. I called apple support and went through the process to try to power it back on and it would not turn on . Nothing would show on the screen and I heard nothing coming from my MacBook Air .
    Is this because it overheated ? does this have to do with where it was charging and placed ? or is this because of battery/ power problems ?
    I had no choice but to take it to the apple store for repair . Does anyone know if when this happens it ruins my hard drive ?? is all data lost ?
    I have my sons memorable photo and videos on photo stream ? How can I recover that if it would turn on ? it is photo streaming with iPhone but only limited and no videos .. Can I get transferred/ photo streamed to windows computer?
    Please help ..any ideas what went wrong and how to save my memorable home videos an photos of my son ?
    Greatly appreciated

    Well on the Air models there really isn't a traditional hard drive, it is a SSD/Flash drive that is integral to the system and can't really be removed or connected to another Mac for retrieving of files. So yes if you take it in and they have to replace the Logic board, The Hart Of the System, then more then likely all your files will be gone.
    That is one reason Apple includes Time Machine for Backing Up the system including your files. If you never used Time Machione then eventually, At Some Point In Time, you will Lose all your data. That is a fact of all computers.

    A MacBook Air was reported stolen
    From a room at my hotel that belong to a guest. I request a apple Id and password from the guest in order to track it though iCloud, when I login into the account the MacBook was not their, however I saw other device. A few days has past then the MacBook appear. How does that happened, please explain?

    For a stolen Macbook to appear in iCloud - the person who stole it must turn it on.
    You can't track something that's turned off.

  • My newish MacBook Air was just lost to a coffee spill, and I need to migrate back to my MacBook Pro using a recent back-up (Time Machine to external disk).  Can I do this?

    My newish MacBook Air was just lost to a coffee spill, and I need to migrate back to my MacBook Pro using a recent back-up (Time Machine to external disk) for a few weeks.  This same disk was used to back-up the Pro earlier, and to migrate from the Pro to the Air.  Can I do this "back-migration" from the Air to the Pro?  Is it maybe better just to migrate the specific folders (Outlook email, Office docs) I am sure I need?

    Do not attempt to copy files/folders from a Time Machine backup. Only use the Time Machine application to restore from the backup.
    Click on a Finder window and select Help from the Finder's Help menu. Search for "restore" and select "restore items backed up with time machine" from the hints list. You will find these two articles:
    Recover items using Time Machine and Spotlight
    If you use Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can use Time Machine with Spotlight to recover lost or deleted items.
    Note: You can retrieve earlier versions of TextEdit documents from within TextEdit. For more information, see: 
    View and restore past versions of documents
    Open a Finder window and type a search word or phrase in the search field in the upper-right corner.
    Select a location to search in the location bar.
    Refine the results by specifying search criteria. Narrow down Spotlight search results
    Open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar, then choose Enter Time Machine.
    Use the arrows and timeline to browse the Time Machine backups. Your search is performed in every window.
    When you find the item you want to restore, select it, then click Restore.
    The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it’s returned to the Documents folder.
    Restore items backed up with Time Machine
    If you use Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can easily bring back lost items or recover older versions of files.
    You can use Time Machine within many apps. If the iCloud Documents & Data feature is turned on, you can recover older versions of iCloud documents as well as regular documents.
    Open a window for the item you want to restore.For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. To recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail. To recover an iCloud document, open the document’s app, choose File > Open, then click iCloud to view the iCloud documents for that app.If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
    From the Time Machine menu in the menu bar, choose Enter Time Machine. A message may appear while your Mac connects to the backup disk.
    Use the arrows and timeline to browse the snapshots and backups.White tick marks represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk. If a tick mark appears dimmed or grayed, there’s no backup available or the backup disk is not connected.
    For more information about an item, double-click it.The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
    When you find the item you want to restore, select it, then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk.The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder.
