New Macbook Air will not connect to 802.11n, but my old 2011 model will

I have just bought a new MBA 13", i7, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD.
When I connect to my home network I see it as a 802.11n network, but as soon as I log on, I only have 802.11g connection. I still have my old 2011 MBA, and it connects to the n-standard just fine.
I went to the local Apple reseller to have them look at it, but the problem was not present when connecting to their airport extremes.
Has anyone else had this kind of problem, and is there a known fix?

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.

  • My new Macbook air won't connect to my Vizio HDTV.

    My new Macbook Air won't connect to my Vizio VO32LF HDTV.  I bought a mini-displayport to HDMI cable to connect the two.  When I connect the cable, and switch to the appropriate HDMI input on the TV, my Macbook Air screen will flash blue for a second, and then return to normal.  The TV reports it's unable to find a signal.  I use the HDTV as my primary monitor, so I'd really appreciate some help on getting the two to place nicely together!

    Cp,
    Thanks for the reply. However, it appears that the issue is not with the hotspot, but with the network settings in the MacBook Air as every other device I have (including non-Apple devices) will connect to the iPhone hotspot. Another symptom is that my MacBook Air can find my iMac (and other network devices) on my wireless network, but the iMac can't find the MacBook Air.

  • My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

    any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore?  It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

    iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

    Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
    After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
    The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
    Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
    After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
    There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
    Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
    In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
    In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
    contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.  

  • My ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?

    My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
    When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.

    See if this helps:

  • What do I do if my new macbook air does not accept my password even if I've tried more than a few times?

    Hi there,
    Just bougiht a new macbook air and the start up screen is not accepting my password even though I have typed it in a few times and correctly. I have already used this mac previously for 2 days and have added microsoft office today but this is the first time I have logged in since the installation.
    I don't understand why the password isn't being accepted. Could it be the installation? Or do I need to reset my macbook air?
    Just a note, I'm not proficient using a Mac.This is my first macbook.
    Many thanks for the help.
    Tony

    You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
    Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
    Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed).  Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
    Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
    Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
    Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.

  • September Macbook Air 2013 Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

    Hi Guys,
    Just got my new Macbook Air delivered yesterday.  Today I opened it up and was happy until it couldn't connect to wi-fi.  I googled and found that this has been an issue since july or so and that there was a patch. 
    The issue is that when I go the wi-fi networks it seems that it shows the checkmark to indicate that it picked it up but the wi-fi icon flickers and then after 2-5 minutes it gives me a "A connection timeout occured" issue. 
    I am not sure how to solve this.  The patch that was issued was in July and I got this yesterday so I would think that the new ones won't have this issue.  Should I still download that patch despite having bought this mac 2 months after that was issued?
    Please help.  Thanks!

  • If I buy a new MacBook Air will the Apple Store help me transfer everything from my old MacBook Pro?

    Will Apple help to copy over all the settings, apps, programs, files, etc. from an old MacBook Pro 15" on OS X 10.6.8 to a new MacBook Air 15"?  Will it work easily and painlessly?  Will they help me set it back to factory once everything is copied so that it can be sold or given to someone else?  Will they charge for this?
    I want to get the new MacBook Air 13".
    The current 15" 2.53 GHz MacBook Pro Mid 2009 has the following specs and OS:
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,4
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 3 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP53.00AC.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.49f2
    Serial Number (system):
    Hardware UUID:
    Sudden Motion Sensor: Enabled
    According to Apple's serial number identifier it's this: https://support.apple.com/kb/SP544
    Thanks.

    You sure about this? https://www.apple.com/why-mac/better-support/
    "Purchase a One to One membership at the same time you get your new Mac from an Apple Retail Store, and you won’t have to spend hours transferring all your stuff. Just bring in your old PC, and we’ll do it for you. A Specialist will move all your files — email, contacts, music, photos, documents, calendar, desktop items — and make sure everything is exactly where it should be. One to One costs just $99, and it includes a year’s worth of one-hour, face-to-face training sessions. It’s like getting a head start before you start."
    This is really disappointing.  Buy a $3,000 computer from them and then buy another one for $1,000+ and all they want to do is screw you over, nickle and dime you and price gouge you on setting it up.

  • Macbook Pro with Vista does NOT connect to 802.11n

    I have a Macbook Pro running Vista and a wifi Linksys WRT350 access point/router, which does 802.11b/g/n. The Macbook Pro only connect to the access point at 802.11g 54Mbps the access point is set to mix-mode. If I set the access point to only 802.11n, the Macbook Pro cannot connect to the access point. If I use bootcamp to load the Mac OS X, the Mac OS X is able to connect to 802.11n. The signal level is pretty good on Vista ad Mac OS X.
    Any ideas?

    Usually when connecting a camera only the SD card is mounted, so it is normal to see only the SD card mounted on the Desktop. The camera is not actually the device, rather the SD card (and interface) is. Apparently System Information does report correctly on the camera itself.
    Be sure to check at Epson's support site for an updated driver compatible with Lion. You can also download the latest drivers package from Apple: Epson Printer Drivers v2.9 OS X.
    Of importance is if the scanner is working. If it is working, then it really doesn't matter, except cosmetically, that the device is reported as a printer. You can report that to Apple via Apple Feedback.

  • New MacBook Air does not read Pages properly

    I migrated my old MacBook Air (2 years old) to my new MacBook Air (one month old) transferring Pages application and many documents in Pages, which I use to edit a magazine.
    At first my new MBA refused to open any Pages documents, so I re-installed iWork from CD (using Remote Disc from my iMac). Now my new MBA does open Pages documents, but with disrespect for fonts:
    - what was in bold appears in regular font
    - what was in italics appears either in regular font or bold+italics
    This is a complete disaster as it means I cannot work in the magazine when I travel with my MBA. Plus, I have already given away my old MBA to a friend!
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you !
    Isabel

    Did you moved the folder
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:
    from the old machine to the new one ?
    This folder contain a lot of required items.
    Without them, iWork's applications can't work.
    Don't forget that the license clearly state that *_you must remove the app from the old machine_*

  • Bought a New Macbook Air w/Lion can I install Lion on my old Machine

    I just bought a new Macbook Air with Lion preinstalled on it.  Is it now possible to download Lion again to my old Mac, or since I didn't purchase it from the Mac Ap store I'm out of luck.  I was able to download the new versions of iPhoto, Rockband and iMovie on the old mac, but no luck so far with Lion.  I guess I'm paying $30, unless somebody has a thought?

    That's odd... I upgraded 4 Macs to Lion and have not had any earth shattering work stoppages. A little bug here and there but nothing that caused any mentionable issues.
    It is kind of unhelpful spouting off what you have read and not experienced.
    You have read about people with issues because this is a forum where people come for help. You are reading about the installs that have had issues not about the million+ that have worked.

  • My new macbook air does not recognize my line in for recording.  Please advise

    Hi Brad Mason,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I am glad that your MacBook Air can connect to the internet using your Time Capsule but I can understand the frustration of not being able to print or back up using Time Machine either. For setting up your printer, I would suggest working through the first attached article.
    Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support
    For making sure that your computer is set up and backing up to Time Machine correctly, I suggest reading over and working through the next attached article. 
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    If after verifying that your computer is set up with your printer and Time Capsule correctly you are still having issues, please let me know what errors you receive or what happens when you attempt to print or back up your computer. 
    Cheers,
    Joe

    MacBook Air (Mid 2013): FaceTime HD Camera might not work after OS X 10.8.5 update

  • MacBook Air - Camera not connected after update 10.8.5

    After the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5, which I updated on my MacBook Air, and I didn't read the part about the camera saying it might not work for MacBook Air. So., carelessly, I updated and then when I wanted to Facetime it did not work.  Then I realised my camera wasn't working for all of my apps. Are the Apple Company going to fix this? Or do we have to do something ourselves? I need my camera back.

    (1) Do this: (If necessary, print this and bookmark the links before starting the process.)
    • If you do not already have one, make a backup of your important files now.
    • Use the  > Restart... menu command to restart your Mac.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    • Download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
    • Repair permissions AGAIN immediately following the restart that completes the Combo Update.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (2) If the problem continues, do this:
    • Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
    • Use "Mac OS X Utilities" there to repair your startup DISK (NOT permissions.)
    • Restart your Mac normally.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (3) If the problem still exists, do this:
    • Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
    • Reinstall OS X. (You will need to be connected to broadband Internet.)
    • As soon as the Mac restarts after the reinstall,
      use your Mac's Disk Utility (NOT OS X Recovery this time) to repair permissions.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (4) If the camera still doesn't work, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
