My MacBook Air wont startup after login

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.
Explanation here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
If thyis leads to the computer booting, you can restart without holding the shift key down.

  • 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/ . 

  • My Macbook Pro wont startup after installing OS X MOUNTAIN LION

    I just installed os x mountain lion on my laptop and it keeps rebooting itself with an error message, it wont let me do anything else? please help

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

    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.

  • 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.
