New Macbook Air (2013, Haswell). Screen glitches while waking up from sleep

Hi guys,
Got a 2013 MBA 2 weeks ago. When I wake it up from sleep, the screen gets all screwed up. Noticed it a week ago, thought it was my eyes and I couldn't reproduce the problem. I could now, so I made a small video as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJcaKlBSeIA&feature=youtu.be
I've tried to take screenshots as well, to see if it's a h/w issue or s/w one (you can see my desktop littered with screenshots), but I can't time it right!

IPhone does not connect to new Macbook Air 2013

Greating from Brazil,
I have an iPhone 4 and have always used to the USB cable to connect it to my macs. It works perfectly fine in onther 4 macbooks: one macbook white 2007, one macbook pro 2010 and a macbook air 2012.
Now I have the brand new macbook air 2013 and the iPhone is the only USB device I can not connect to it (all my external hard drives, wireless headphone work just fine). What happens is that when I connect the iPhone, it repeatly plays the sound as if it was connected, then it plays the sound as if it was disconnected.
What could I do to make it work?
Thanks
Gilson

I recently purchased a new Macbook Air and used migration to transfer old files from my old PC to the Mac, and now there are songs that I purchased through Itunes on my phone that are not on my Mac, how do I transfer these songs from the phone to the Mac?

Graphic Distortion on new MacBook Air (2013)

I have noticed over the last couple of days that my new mid-2013 MacBook Air has been waking up from sleep with a brief graphic distortion (about a second) and then is normal. I do connect it to a projector at work using a Mini-DP to VGA adapter. Any solutions or thoughts?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

HT204350 hi, I am trying to migrate my apps from my old Macbook Air 2010 to a new Macbook air 2013. Both have Os X Mavericks. The computers cannot find each other in computer-computer network that I created. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, I recently purchased a new Macbook Air with OS X version 10.8.5. I am trying to migrate my data from my MacBook Air Late 2010. Anyone knows how I could connect them with wires? The 2010 MacBook Air has only two USA slots. Thanks for any help on this issue!

You can connect the USB2 to USB3 backwards compatible.

IPhone 4s keeps connecting and disconnecting from my new Macbook Air 2013

Ok I've been having this problem, I recently got an 11 inch Macbook Air 2013 and after I try connecting my iPhone 4s it keeps connecting and disconnecting every 1-2 seconds. I already check the community, I know this subject has been asked many times. Nothing worked out though. My cable cord must be fine because it works perfectly on my PC. I updated the OS and iOS to their latest firmware and still nothing. Whenever I try opening iTunes I get this message saying " iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected. " Please if anyone fixed this issue I would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

I just solved it, I hope this helps everyone who is experiencing the same problem. Apparently the iPhone seems to charge normally and connect to iTunes if the iPhone battery is over 60%-70%. This must be a power issue the MBA has.

How do I set up home sharing on my new macBook Air 11" I want to access my itunes from my home iMac on my Macbook Air?

I've set up to share my itunes on my iMac and on my new MacBook Air 11" but there dont seem to be any files I can view or access?
On my music it says "Go to itunes store" or "Scan for Media"
Does anyone know how to set it up?
Many thanks
Tim.....

Once your in iTunes click the dropdown menu below the play button if one option is home sharing click home sharing and sign in with your apple id if you don't have home sharing follow these steps:
1) Go to iTunes
2) Click file (which is on the menu bar)
3) Hover your mouse over the place where it says home sharing
4) If you hover your mouse over home sharing you should see it says turn on home sharing click it
5) Now sign in with your apple id
Now have enabled home sharing on your mac.

Screen issues when waking up from sleep

Very strange things going on with the screen on my new MBP, it has only occurred on a very few occasions now, after waking up from sleep. I noticed two strange effects happening, not at the same time so I don't know if they are related or not.
1) Sometimes the screen shows a varying brightness pattern at the bottom, I think caused by some of the LEDs from the backlighting having a different brightness then others.
2) Sometimes the entire screen has a blueish hue.
Both issues are fixed when I restart the computer.... anyone know what might be going on...?

Also when it wakes up from sleep the screen flashes, don't think its supposed to do that.
Here is a picture I took with my phones that shows how the screen looks like, notice the difference in brightness in a pattern.

MacBook Air 2013 battery drains quickly while in sleep mode

I just purchased a 13" mid-2013 MacBook Air this week, and so far everything is working well - a remarkable improvement over my 2007 MacBook! But, I've noticed that the battery seems to drain very quickly while in sleep mode. For example, it drained 10% over five hours. I've turned off bluetooth and made sure that the PowerNap option is not selected under Energy Saver preferences. And the battery health/capacity seems to be good. Are there other things that I should turn off/check out? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this even abnormal for the battery to drain at this rate while in sleep mode? Thank you!!

HT1619 I cant seem to pair my apple remote with my new macBook Air (2013) 11" 256GB...?

My MacBookAir is an 11" mid 2013 model. They told me in the apple store when I purchased the MacBook Air it would work but I don't think the 11" has an infrared receiver?
Anybody tried to do this?

maybe use my iphone 5?

Macbook Air 2013(Haswell) fan issue?

Hi Guys,
I've been having a weird issue with my Macbook air. I've noticed that it's been a little bit warmer than usual lately.
I downloaded iStat and upon watching a youtube video for 20 minutes my temps rise to 80-90 celcius. However, my fan speed never goes about 2000rpm. I tried setting the fan speed manually to check if there was an issue with the fan itself and it happily increases to around 6000rpm. Should my fan speed be compensating more for the heat at 80-90 celcius than it is? It's running 60 celsius on idle...
Thanks for your help guys!

Try a SMC reset:

Screen flashes when waking up from sleep, Macbook Pro Retina 13" early 2013

Hey guys,
I have an issue with the wake up procedure on my new Macbook Pro Retina 13". This is how it looks: http://youtu.be/pBK8vRiVdX4
When my computer has been in sleep mode for a longer time (approximately 1-3 hours) it does this strange thing when I open the lid. It is black for a time and suddenly there is a blue flashing screen before it goes to the desktop. This process is about 10 seconds.
Does anyone know if there is a solution for this? Have you had the same problem? I called Apple support this morning and he told me to reset SMC and clear the PRAM, but the issue is still there.
Please let me know if you know something about this.
Kindly,
Mikael

i had the same problem too and i think i could isolate its cause. I tried a few things on my 13 inch retina macbook pro like switching off functions like ''put hard disk to sleep when possible'' but this wasnt a solution to the problem... after alot of playing around with my macbook, i realised that this flashing problem only occured when my macbook was scaled up to any resolution other than the native resolution... when i went back to the native resolution, the flashing stopped and my macbook started almost instantaneously after opening the screen... you should try it out... and tell me what you think...
think it is pretty annoying that we get this issue when scaled up to some other resolution and wish there is a solution somewhere online to solve this... but for now, i think it is quite an annoying bug but still not something i cant live with...
tell me what think about it:)

Macbook air 2013 black screen with cursor, anyone has same problem?

And I found out that everytime when screen become black, it is 100% acompanied by wifi disconnection.

Sleep mode?
Quoting from below linked article from Apple:
"What happens when the Mac goes to sleep (not just into idle mode or display sleep)?"
"An AirPort card, if present, turns off "

If this is not the case, you have to contact Apple as soon as possible.
