New MacBook Air 2014 Wi-Fi Problems

Today I've got my new MacBook Air 13", my old one (mid 2012) has been broken.
With my old one (with Mavericks installed), I had no problems with my wi-fi at home.
I haven't changed a thing, but my new one is not capable to connect.
So I tried from WPA2 to no protection - just to test it -, because after entered the password it always prints: timed out (Zeitüberschreitung).
But with no protection it also doesn't work. :/
Has anyone got an idea?
WLAN - Specs:
Signalstrength: FULL (the router is just 4 meters away).
Router: Netgear WGT624 v3 (with latest firmware)
SSID is not hidden, Channel is 6, Mode is "auto" which means (b+g).
Protection is WPA and WPA2 (tried only WPA2, does not work)
Access Control is turned off - until I get the MBA back into it
DHCP is enabled
Other devices like Android Smartphones (Android 4.x) and HP Printer (Deskjet 6840) work
MBA - Specs:
Out of the box
Downloaded the latest update for Mavericks (10.9.3) and installed (other PC and USB-stick)

Thanks alot for the reply.
Did it that way. Everything is fresh again in Network Configuration Window.
But it still does not connect.
Another thing I tried now: I started the network assistant. After selecting and entering the password, it says: password wrong. But it is not, definitely. (changed it to a little bit easier one on the router for a test, same error message).
So I've got two different error messages:
When I select the WLAN out of the AirPort-Symbol and then enter the password, it says: timelimit reached (Zeitlimit überschritten)
When I use the Network Connection Window and start the assistant the error message is: wrong password (Falsches Passwort).
Tried also with static ip and DHCP (both works on the router with other devices and both has worked also with the old MBA). Same two error messages. I have no other WLAN to test it today.
Is there a way on the console so I can see all of the output? Maybe the Windows hiding messages from me ... I'm wondering about the two different error messages.
With all possible thanks for your help!

    I just bought a configured Macbook air with 8Gb from an APR store an supposed it was a 2014 model since it had a 1,4GHZ processor. to my surprise i enter the system information and it tells me i have a Mid 2013 model??? why is that??

    the 2013 shouldnt have the 1,4GHZ processor acoording to specs, so is my mac a transition model? or just skizofrenic?
    2013 I5 is 1.3GHZ

    If you have a 1.4GHZ, then you have a 2014 Air.    Simple
    Once again, the folks in this thread are complicating things

  • When will a new macbook air 2014 be presented?

    I have been planning to buy macbook, and air seems to be the most appropriate for my needs, but theres no retina display in it. So I wonder if it will be presented soon and is it worth waiting?

    discussing future products etc is not allowed on the board.
    the 2014 model came out with a faster I5 and lower price just a short time ago.

  • New MacBook Air 11 inch Battery Problems

    I just got my new mac book air home and ran a full charge into the battery.  Once i disconnected it from the power adapter i noticed the battery was still only showing around 4 hours of life.  Nothing was running on the matchine at the time, other than a wifi connection.
    As I started to use the machine (writing an email in a single browser window) the batter indicator began to jump in a seemingly iratic way.  After 30 mins of use, the batter indicator was showing less than 2 1/2 hours life remaining.
    I've run the latest software updates and the same issue persists.  My machine is an 11 inch 1.6GHz model running the i5 processor.  I can see a few people have had issues in the past with eratic battery indicator behaviour but cant see any difinitive solution?

    There is no definitive solution.  The time remaining indicator provides an estimate only based on the current load on your system.  When you first start using it, there will be more activity than normal as your system is set up and Spotlight indexes your files.
    Think of your computer as being a car.  If you're going along a flat road, you can keep the gas at a steady level.  At that rate, maybe you can get 100 miles out of the gas you have remaining.  Now, if you suddenly go up a steep hill, you're going to have to use lots more fuel and all of a sudden, you may only get 50 miles out of the gas you have remaining.... but if you get to the top of that hill and then start coasting down, you might be able to get 200 miles out of the gas you have remaining.  How many miles you can get out of the gas you have remaining will always change if you measure it by what your car is doing "now".  However, if you look at the gas gauge instead, it will not fluctuate that way... it will always show you how much gas you have remaining.
    To get the same accurate "gas gauge" reading, you should view your battery by the percentage remaining vs. the time remaining.   The percentage remaining is the "actual" percentage of your charge remaining.  The time remaining is only an estimate based on your current usage and it can fluctuate wildly depending on what your system is doing.

  • USB 3.0 external drive extremely slow on Macbook Air 2014

    Dear Apple Support Team & Folks in Apple Community,
    Seriously, I have a problem with my new Macbook Air 2014 which has equipped with USB 3.0 port. I read through the forum and hardly find a solution for this.
    Recently, I plugged in my USB 3.0 external drive and expect that it would reach the same file transfer speed as that on my PC. Instead of 625 MB/s (5 Gbit/s), it was hardly reaching 60 MB/s (480 Mbit/s) to my surprise! Sounds like Macbook Air doesn't recognize USB 3.0 device properly. I have tried Western Digital and Seagate devices but failed to get reasonable transfer speed on my Macbook Air.
    I tried it again with my USB 2.0 external drive on Macbook Air and only got the transfer speed around 15 - 20 MB/s which is disappointing.
    Any patches or Firmware updates would be appreciate!
    I have OS X 10.9.3 already with EFI and SMC update patched by App Store.

    I would be interested to know which consumer grade non-raid external harddisk that could reach 6xx mb/sec.
    The speed you mentioned should be normal, since most of these are 5400rpm drives (asumming it is 2.5 inch).

  • My new MacBook Air locked up during my first attempt to migrate information from my old PC

    I began the set up process for my new MacBook Air (2014).  I got as far as the Migration Assistant.  At first, my old PC (6 year old HP with Windows Vista) seemed to be communicating with my MacBook and transferring data.  There was a lot of time remaining on the countdown to completion of the transfer, so I went to bed while the computers kept migrating data.  I woke up, and the migration connection was lost.  My MacBook screen is saying it is "transferring data to the Mac"- but the screen is the same, and the connection has obviously been lost.  It seems to be locked up.  I cannot get out of the screen to do anything!  I would rather start the set up process all over without migrating any data at this point, and just start using my new MacBook.  Help!  How do I turn off the whole MacBook and start again?

    Never mind!  I realized that I needed to hold the power button down for longer than I thought to get the laptop to turn off.  I turned it off, then back on, and was able to begin the process all over and am now up and running!  Hoorah!

  • When I login to my bank, I get the message: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. Have new MacBook Air with Yosemite. How to solve this problem?

    When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
    403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
    You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
    I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
    What is the problem and how can I solve it?

    Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
    Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
    The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
    Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
    The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

  • Problem - new MacBook Air cannot see external HD

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help, as I have seen similar questions in the forums, but not with an answer that helps me solve my problem.
    Ok, I have a new MacBook Air running Lion (bought last year), a MacBook Pro running Leopard which is approx 4 years old and a Windows Laptop.  I use the MacBook Air for Work and when travelling (weekly with work), the MacBook Pro for home and managing my other apple devices (iPad/iPhone etc..).  I no longer use the PC, but there are loads of files both work and home, I wish to keep on an external HD for use with both Apple Laptops.
    So, the external HD used to work with the MacBook Air when I first bought it (a couple of weeks ago) and formatted it with the MacBook Air, but it couldn't be seen or used with the Windows PC.  When I formatted it with the Windows PC, I could use it with the MacBook Air but could not write to the disk.
    So I have now partitioned and formatted it with the MacBook Pro running Lion, but now the MacBook Air cannot even see the disk in Disk Utility.
    My MacBook Air otherwise runs absolutely fine with no problems, and the MacBook Air is a critical piece of kit that I use on a daily basis to do my job.  As such, I have no appetite for deleting any drivers etc... from the MacBook Air as it could originally see the disk and I do not want to make a mistake and cause myself problems.
    So the question is, how on earth do I get the MacBook Air to see the drive again in Disk Utility? So I can do the partitioning and formatting there, this drive is of no use if can only be seen by the MacBook Pro.  The drive is a portable USB powered Toshiba 1TB disk Part Number: HDTB110EK3BA.
    Am going to wait for some suggestions, my next thought is to erase everything using the windows PC assuming it can see it, and then see if the Mac Book Air laptop can see it in Disk Utility... no other options left really.
    I hope someone can help, otherwise I may be off to buy a new disk and could hit the same problems again!
    Thanks
    Alex.

    Toshiba Acknowledges MacBook Woes in Canvio USB 3.0 Hard Drives
    By Christopher Price on December 27, 2011
    Following tests conducted by PhoneNews.com, Toshiba has acknowledged an issue affecting their Canvio USB 3.0 hard drives. The issue prevents current-generation MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models from properly connecting and powering up the drives.
    Read more to see our findings, and the resulting (ongoing) investigation by Toshiba.
    We began our tests based on tips from readers like you, and went out and purchased five (yes, five) Canvio USB 3.0 drives, along with a brand new 2011 MacBook Air.
    Drive problems happened immediately, and were relatively isolated to the MacBook Air. Of all the systems we tested on, we were only able to reproduce issues on a Sony VAIO laptop late in our testing, as well as a current-gen MacBook Pro.
    Essentially, the drives failed to mount, and in most tests never even spun up on these systems.
    The Canvio USB 3.0 hard drives have sat under many people’s Christmas trees, as they were hot sellers during Black Friday. Retailers like Office Depot slashed prices on the slim, 2.5-inch drives down to $79 for a 1TB hard drive. With coupons, Radio Shack was selling the 500GB model for a mere $39.
    Canvio USB 3.0 drives tout on the box compatibility with USB 2.0 systems, including both Mac and PC. The advantage of a Canvio USB 3.0 hard drive for a MacBook owner lies in Thunderbolt. Purchasing such a drive today can achieve USB 3.0 speeds with upcoming Thunderbolt-to-USB 3.0 adapters. USB 3.0 mass storage was designed to be fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
    To get to the bottom of the problem, we probed the five Canvio drives purchased, in an effort to better understand the issue. And, we were able to isolate the problem; the Canvio USB 3.0 drives draw more power than the USB standard permits. The drives were drawing, upon connection, slightly more than the five watts that the spec allows. And, the new MacBooks appear to promptly shut the device down because of this.
    Why? Well, Apple can assert that this is to protect the MacBook Air/Pro from a malfunctioning USB device. However, the answer really lies in tablets. Apple allows iPad and MacBook to perform a hardware handshake, which then allows Apple devices to draw 10 watts from the USB port. This is why you can charge an iPad directly on a Mac, but not on a PC.
    Apple does not want to allow rival tablet manufacturers (Android) to have the same access to Apple’s USB port. Hence, any device (like a tablet) that wants to draw even slightly more than five watts, is shut off from communicating with the Mac. We affirmed this by testing a powered USB hub. With a powered hub connected to the hard drive, and the hub connected to the MacBook, the drive instantly came to life, and worked without issue.
    This creates a bit of an odd situation; Toshiba is technically in the wrong for making drives that technically breach USB specifications… but Apple seems to be the only manufacturer to enforce this aspect (as well as breach it with their own devices).
    Toshiba, to its credit, has owned up to our issue, right down to our suggestion to them that a powered hub works around the issue. Quoting an official statement in response to our research:
    Toshiba DPD has identified an isolated USB connectivity issue between the Canvio USB 3.0 drive and currently shipping MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops. The issue involves the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air being unable to recognize the Canvio USB 3.0 drive when connected directly to the laptop USB 2.0 port. Toshiba is actively working to remedy this USB connectivity issue. In the interim, Toshiba recommends MacBook Pro and MacBook Air users employ a powered USB hub to connect their Canvio USB 3.0 drives.
    We have asked Toshiba if they intend to inform retailers to accept returns for affected drives, or if they will offer some form of refund program in the interim. Retailers such as Office Depot do not permit refunds on opened technology items, including Canvio drives. Toshiba has said are looking into that aspect of this problem, and will get back to us shortly.
    In all, we spent a few hundred on hard drives, and confirmed the issue. Unfortunately, because it is a power drain concern, Toshiba will likely have to offer an exchange program to fix it. We seriously doubt that this can be fixed at the firmware level. Theoretically, it’s possible a USB cable replacement might be able to mitigate this issue however, so there is hope that Toshiba won’t have to recall a bazillion hard drives.
    Update: As a follow-up, Toshiba has informed us that they have completed their investigation, and will replace affected drives.

  • New Macbook Air 11" 2014 Model Display Hinge Loose and exacerbated by extremely poor service

    I have bought a new MacBook Air 11 from Ezone on the 3rd of October.  When I opened the product, I realised that the hinge seemed to be loose and would fall back on its own when tilted. That's when my troubles started.
    I went to the Maple Apple Authorised Service Center at Santa Cruz, Mumbai and was told that the product was fine and that the screen tilt was 'normal'.
    I then happened to visit some other stores and noticed that the MacBooks on display didn't swing back the same way.
    I returned to the Service Center again and was told again that it was 'normal'. When I demanded to see the manager, I was told he had left for the day. I rang him and was told that I should come and see him the next day and he would provide a speedy resolution to the problem.
    I rang the store that I'd purchased it from and they told me that they would be happy to replace the product provided the service center gave a certificate called DOA.
    The next day was an even more harrowing experience. When I reached the manager's office, he tried telling me again that the product was 'normal'. When I explained to him that none of the in store models were like that, he said that to give the certificate, he would need at least 2 days as there was a 'process' to be followed. The 'process' is to merely record how the display flips back when tilted back.
    I tried to call Apple Customer Care and spoke to Nishant and then Ravi (who told me that he usually never spoke to customers directly but as a special case was speaking to me since I'd had a bad experience!).
    Ravi, assured me of a ideal resolution within 24 hours.
    And so today, I received a call from Nishant, who informed me that because of the nature of the inconvenience, Apple had decided to offer 2 solutions: 1. They would ship a new machine from Singapore directly to my home address but that would take 4-5 business weeks. I was fine with that solution although I didn't understand the merit of sending a new laptop from Singapore. However, he then told me that I would FIRST have to submit the laptop and ONLY THEN would they ship it out to me. So essentially, I would be without a laptop for next month and a half! In short, a ridiculous solution. 2. The second solution was that I would have to give my BRAND NEW laptop (less than 2 weeks old!) to the service centre, they would repair it and return it in a few days. So we were back to square one. When I tried to understand the escalation process, I was curtly told that there was no escalation and this was Apple's response and resolution to my problem.
    So, I, the unhappy customer, was given no choice except to turn  in my machine to the service centre whereas, GLOBALLY, Apple would have replaced the machine if it was less than 2 weeks old!
    Absolutely pathetic experience with no keenness to help except have longwinded calls that provided no solution whatsoever.
    And this to a customer who's just bought a brand new machine and is expecting a spectacular experience! Even Lenovo or Sony offer onsite support, so the Apple experience is a terrible, terrible letdown.
    I feel cheated and downright stupid for having paid such a premium for a product with manufacturing defect followed with such extraordinarily poor service!

    Problem still there is 10.7.2. No work around. It makes using Photoshop on a MB Air very difficult. On the Photoshop.com forum (Adobe), they are blaming Apple the the graphics drivers, and disavowing any resposibility.

  • Wifi problems with new MacBook Air?

    I have just bought a new MacBook Air.
    For some reason the Air cannot find one of my WiFi networks called XF11. Its not a problem with the router being too far away because thats in my bedroom where I use the Air. The strange thing is my iPhone, my brothers iPad and my old MacBook find the network straightaway.
    On a few occasions over the last couple of days  when I have looked at the list of networks available it has briefly shown up but has then disappeared?
    Any help would be most appreciated, its very frustrating!
    Cheers!
    Apologies if this is the wrong category to post this

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to turn off the MacBook Air, do you see any message telling you that an app couldn't be closed? As a test, close all applications and turn off your Mac.
    Also, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Problems with my new MacBook air

    Hello, I have a new MacBook Air, OSX MAVERICKS 10.9.2 which I purchased two weeks ago and it is (1) only recognising my log in password sporadically, and (2) it seems to be freezing up very often, when I do get it to recognise me, and (3) I can't open any application without it asking for a keychain password , which it doesn't recognise when I do enter it. any suggestions to help me with this problem?

    Hi
    You would probably be best placed to call AppleCare - you get free phone support within 90 days of purchase.
