  • My MacBook Air shuts down when its more than half way charged and won't turn on unless I plug it in to the adapter? Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    If you really do have a Mid 2013 Mac Air model then it is still in warranty, as the standard Apple warranty is one year from date of purchase. So take it into an Apple store and have it diagnosed and fixed under the warranty. There is some type of hardware problem that only Apple can fix.

    When I turn on my MacBook Pro and when I am at the login screen, the background is white rather than steel gray. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

    It turns out that iCloud caused this issue. When I turned iCloud off my login screen was completely normal.

  • TS2551 I recently added pictures to iphoto. There are a lot of pictures that are just black voids. I can find the originals, but why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    I am very new to owning my macbook. I am lost as to how to fix this. Is this related to the updates that I recently installed?

    Check the iPhoto Preferences:
         Advanced -> Importing,
    and make sure, that "copy items to the iPhoto Library" is enabled.
    Otherwise your imported images will not be stored inside the iPhoto library, and if you move, delete, or rename them, iPhoto cannot access them any longer.
    If that is not the problem, please post back and explain more detailed how you are importing and where your iPhoto library is located.
    To fix it, if you imported without copying, and iPhoto is missing the originals, you need to put them back, exactly where you removed them from.
    Or simply import again with the "copy" option checked.

  • My MacBook Air tells me I'm out of memory.  to my knowledge I use only 65 GB for documents, photos, videos, apps, and it tells me that 75 GB is taken by "other"  What is in other, and how can I fix it?

    my MacBook Air tells me I'm out of memory.  to my knowledge I use only 65 GB for documents, photos, videos, apps, and it tells me that 75 GB is taken by "other"  What is in other, and how can I fix it?

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

    Hi Susan ...
    Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk and reinstall the Mac OS X if necessary.
    Lion Recovery can also help you restore your files from a Time Machine backup.

  • HT1414 Why do I get 'This message has no content' with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my MacBook Pro without any problem, and how can I fix it?

    Why do I get - 'This message has no content' - with some e-mails on my iPad when the same messages can be received on my Mac Book Pro without any problem and how can I fix it?

    Is this a POP (POP3) email account?  If so, you MacBook Pro may be retrieving the email and deleting it off the server before your phone can.  Another possibility is that both your Mac and your phone are trying to retrieving it at the same time, and the POP server, which will only allow a single email client connection at a time, is locking out your phone resulting in the "has not been downloaded from the server" error.

  • HT201257 Holding down "D" no longer starts Apple Hardware Test!  Any idea what's happened and how I fix it?  Or do I need to go to the Genius Bar?  MacBook Pro with Lion Preinstalled.

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion Preinstalled, so AHT was present on the hard disc and worked when the product was new.  One of the first things I did from new was run AHT and it worked fine.  But now it doesn't start - instead the machine (eventually) boots into normal OS X.
    Holding down "D" no longer starts Apple Hardware Test!  Any idea what's happened and how I fix it?  Or do I need to go to the Genius Bar? 
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b), if it makes any difference.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks.  However, even with an internet connection that doesn't work for me - the machine just (after an extended delay) boots normally.  It doesn't download.
    Option-D works for an Internet-based AHT.  However that only works with an internet connection.  It doesn't seem to download it and install it - it needs internet every time.
    Any idea how my local copy of AHT disappeared?  I haven't repartitioned the drive or knowingly deleted anything.  And how do I reinstate it (because if you need AHT your hardware problems may preclude internet access!)?
