    my MacBook Air wont startup after login???

    Try to boot your computer in Safe Mode: restart and hold the shift key down.
    This can take some time, so be patient.

    If thyis leads to the computer booting, you can restart without holding the shift key down.

    Yours would appear to be an original 2008 vintage model, which unlike the more recent MBA systems did not have a recovery partition.
    There is no downloadable source of the MacOS reinstall disk that I know of (none that are legal at any rate) but you should be able to get a copy of the DVD from Apple. The user guide for this model (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacBook_Air_Users_Guide.pdf if you also do not have that) explains the procedure for MacOS reinstall using the original disk.

  • I changed the password to one of my gmail accounts. My MacBook Air accepts the new password and shows me email, my iPhone 5s tells me it's not a valid password. In settings, I change the password and pw is accepted. How can I get 5s to accept new pw?

    CORRECTION! GMAIL accepts new pw and shows me email. Mail on MacBook Air and iPhone 5s do not accept new gmail pw. What can I do to get my apple products to accept my new gmail pw?

  • My macbook air wont boot up. Just beeps every 5 seconds and a white light flashes on front of keyboard

    My macbook air wont boot up. Just beeps every 5 seconds and a white light flashes on front of keyboard

    That normally indicates an issue with system memory. The startup sequence can't complete the boot due to a memory issue. Take it in for service.

  • My MacBook Air wont turn on. HELP!

    My MacBook Air wont turn on, I bought this past September (as a birthday gift for myself) and this Sunday I was using it perfectly, then at night it didn't turn on. I tried several times to turn it on and it did once, I thought "Yes finally" but two minutes later it turned off and never to turn on again. I have taken care of my mac book so much, that I really dont know whats wrong. I bought on I trip I did to the US and I live in Honduras, we don't have an Apple store here not even a Genius bar for me to go and see whats the problem, I thought this machines were for life, like I literally cried so bad because I had to work SO hard to buy this computer and now its just not working.. why? I dont know. If theres any tricks to making this turning back ON please let me know.
    Thanks APPLE...

    okay, since you are in Honduras, I'll share what my Genius told me when he reset the SMC on my 11 inch mid-2013 Mac Air yesterday.  He took it in back of the Apple store, came back in about five minutes with everything working. I asked him if there was anything I had done to cause the problem, he said no, except it might be better to actually "shutdown" the computer from the Apple pull-down menu when you aren't going to use the machine for more than a couple of hours (e.g., overnight).  If the instructions in Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support didn't work, As for self-repair, he said this is what you would have to do (but he also said, you really don't want to do this yourself): you have to remove the bottom of the Mac Air (under the keyboard), and disconnect the battery. Then, with the battery disconnected, you plug in the power cord attach it to the Air, and then turn on the computer from the keyboard on/off switch while powered only by the power supply. That should reset the SMC.  Then shut down the system from the Apple menu (not the keyboard button/switch), reinstall the battery, replace the bottom/cover, and see if it works.  Just remember that fiddling inside the back of a Mac can be dangerous to the Mac and your warranty!  Good luck

  • My (UK bought) MacBook Air wont open open Chilean (.cl) websites - anyone any idea why?

    My (UK bought) MacBook Air wont open open Chilean (.cl) websites - anyone know why? Or what I can do to change this?

    Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
    There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
    It looks like this:
    check the button for manual updates.
    That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

  • HT201628 I tried following the steps in this article. When I attempt to delete iTunes,  it says "iTunes" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X. What other steps could I take to get my MacBook Air to recognize my iphone again?

    I tried following the steps in this article. When I attempt to delete iTunes,  it says “iTunes” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X. What other steps could I take to get my MacBook Air to recognize my iphone again? Neither iTunes nor iPhoto recognize my phone any longer.

    iTunes can't be deleted because it comes with OS X. In order to delete it, open Terminal and copy:
    sudo rm /Applications/iTunes.app
    This will remove iTunes, so then you can reinstall iTunes

    Your boot drive is damaged in some way. If you have an original installation disc, you can boot from that and run Disk Utility. From DU you can select your internal hard drive ("Macintosh HD" is the name Apple puts on it - you may have renamed yours) and select "Verify Disk". If errors come up, try "Repair Disk". If it repairs, then you should be able to restart and boot from it. If it doesn't show up or won't repair, your drive is probably hosed.

  • MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac OS update

    MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac update
    I have a MacBook Air OS X version - 10.9.4 . I updated my mac 1 week before but todayI check that my mac in built camera is not working Even I try to check in this thing in all the apps. Please provide  the way how to sort out this issue asap.

    The SMC reset often fixes your problem.
    Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
    If your problem continues, restart Mac.  Then download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    If that does not correct the problem, reinstall Mac OS X.
    If nothing else works, contact your Apple Service provider or Apple MacBook Support for help.

  • Macbook air wont reboot after I just did the latest update.  Any ideas?

    I just ran the latest update on my macbook air and now it wont boot up.  I just get a spinning wheel and the apple logo.  Is there something I can do?

    When was your MacBook Air first sold?  MacBook Air computers sold between June 2012 through June 2013 with 64 or 128 GB SSDs are known to have a high SSD failure rate and Apple is replacing them for free.
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 for steps you can take if the SSD is still alive.
    If these steps do not help take it to an Apple Store for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs.
    If the SSD has failed and your Mac does not qualify for a free SSD replacment, you can replace it yourself. 
    OWC sells 120, 240 and 480 GB SSD upgrades for MacBook Airs.  A 240 GB upgrade costs $265.   http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/ . 

  • I have a macbook air that is running 10.6.8 and it will not connect to my 4s that is running ios 6.1.3 and apple is telling me that the two aren't compatible?  The air wont recognize the phone when it is plugged in through USB.  So am i just screwed?

    Im just wondering if this is the case?  it just doesnt make any sense to me.  These aren't two very old products so it just seems to strange.

    I'm baffled.  The current iTunes (11.0.4) runs on OS X 10.6.8.  If I were you, I would download the current iTunes:
    iTunes 11.0.4
    ... and see if that solves your issue.
    ... but note your MacBook Air late 2010 can run Mountain Lion, so that would undoubtedly solve the problem for you, whether or not simply loading iTunes does.

  • MacBook Air will not power on after going to sleep

    I have a 13" MacBook Air (2012) that has been giving me some issues on and off lately. The past month or two, it has had a few instances where it would take a lot of time and work to get it to "wake up" after the lid was opened. A few times I had to hold the power and reboot it as it was non-repsonsive and would not display anything on screen (black screen). Then a few weeks ago it was un-responsive for a minute upon opening the lid but I eventually got it to come alive but it was very slow to get going as there were quite a few programs running and it auto-rebooted itself. Once I logged in, it did it again but this time it got hung up on the apple logo on boot and was in a cycle of trying to reboot itself but failed at the apple logo. I eventually got it into recovery mode and went into Disk Utility. It found some problems with the hard drive and fixed them. After that, it booted up fine and hasn't given me any problems UNTIL... yesterday, it won't even attempt to power on at all. It was working fine yesterday morning and I was only using Safari (no other programs running) then I closed the lid and left for a few hours with it just sitting there. I didn't take it with me, drop it or anything like that (In fact, it's never been dropped). I just left it right there where I was using it and closed the lid. I came back in the afternoon and opened it up and waited for it to come on but nothing happened. It wasn't even powered on as I put my ear up to it and listened for noise. I've tried holding the power button, I've tried Option+Power, I've reset the SMC, but nothing happens. I don't know what else to try. I believe this model may have a recall on the solid-state-drive but I'm not sure that is it as it should at least power on and display a folder with a "?" mark if the hard drive was bad. I'm wanting to attempt to resolve this before I make a 1.5 hour trip to the Apple store so any help and suggestions are welcome.
    Things you should know:
    It successfully resets the SMC as the orange light flashes green for a few seconds before turning orange again.
    I've tried the charger with 2 different plugs with and without the extending cord. I've also tried booting on battery power only.
    The power button is not broke as it recognizes it while doing the SMC reset.
    Thanks so much for all your help, Silas

    Are you sure you mean green?  Mine is orange when charging and green when fully charged - always been like this with the 3 macbooks I have owned.
