New MBA crashes if clicking during 'going-to-sleep'

I just got a brand new MacBook Air 13" with 128SSD and 8GB Ram
Upgraded to Mavericks and installed all the lastest updates.
It allready happen to me 2 times during the past week that after it goes to sleep, I can't wake it up no matter what i do (only sulition: force shutdown)if
I managed to find out the triger for this problem:
if it goes to sleep -> in that 1-1.5 seconds untill its really sleeping, if I press anything (touchpad click, any key in the keyboard, power button, etc) it crashes, screen stays black, keyboard is still with backlights, but its none responding.
Can someone test this in his MBA ? I want to see if I'm not alone
I read some threads in the forums, but I think my problem is more unique than what I saw.
Thanks for Reading. ,
Ariel.

I have changed the pmset to the following and seems to have worked. I use hibernatemode 25 instead of the default 3. Make sure the duration settings for displaysleep, disksleep, sleep and standby are set logically, if not you will get error prompts.
Active Profiles:
Battery Power                    -1
AC Power                    -1*
Currently in use:
standbydelay         10800
standby              5

Time Machine crashes whenever the computer goes to sleep or into screen saver mode.

Apologies if there is an obvious answer or post about this. Every time I try to initialize Time Machine, it will begin backing up until the computer goes to sleep or the screen saver kicks in. When I wake the computer up, I get a message that says "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk." The message also tells me that the problem might be temporary and to try Disk Utility to repair the backup disk if the problem persists.
When I run Disk Utility, I am told that the volume cannot be repaired and that it needs to be reformatted. I reformat the disk, try to run Time Machine again, and get the same problem whenever the computer goes to sleep or into screen saver mode. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I managed to get an initial backup only if I turned off the screen saver and the sleep function. However, once I turned them back on, I ran into the same problem when Time Machine tried to update the backup.
I am running OS X v.10.6.8 on an iMac5,1. The backup is a Toshiba 1TB USB external HD. I saw this same problem posted in the Lion forum (and I cribbed the title of this post from there). Nobody has offered a solution yet, but it was a very recent post.
Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah I forgot to say I use an ETHERNET connection.

Firefox not responding and crashes when my netbook goes into sleep mode why is that

when i shut the lid on my net book and come back nand open it , put password in and when i click the firefox icon to go back to where i was at it says firefox is not rewsponding or firefox has crashed , why is that

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

The plugin container crashes if the computer goes into sleep mode or screensaver mode

it seems everytime I put my computer into sleep mode or if it goes into screensaver mode the plugin container crashes

Update it appears that if I leave like a video or game open while I leave or turn it into safe mode it crashes it

My new MBA is taking 30s to go into sleep mode.

I have a new MBA13 so not had the chance to clog it up with loads of junk yet but it has started to take 30s to go into sleep mode. I took it to the Genius Bar and they could not help other than to say they thought it must be some background process running that was stopping it. I then read on hear to to a pmset -g log and look for items with times of 30000 and remove whatever they were. The response I got was:
* Domain: applicationresponse.timedout
- Message: Kernel cupsd com.apple.powermanagement.applicationresponse.timedout 30000 ms

- UUID: 348D380F-4A44-4B7F-A113-3BDA08B5843E

which doesn't help me much. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Found it in another thread here. It was a queued print job. Looks like its a common problem and maybe a bug? Once it was deleted, sleep was back to normal.

I''m new to Mac, how do I install Adobe CD? I put it in the CD drive and get a menu, everything I click on goes nowhere. In Microsoft, I installed many programs with no problem

Is the Adobe CD a MAC app ?
If it is a program for Windows you will not be able to install it.
If you nedd that program you can either buy the equivalent for Mac or install a way to run Windows under Mac (may be a cheaper solution)

I've downloaded the new version according to Creative Cloud but when I try to launch the app the window appears saying there is a new version, so I click on download now and it crashes. What's happening and what should I do? Thanks.

Thank you so much. I finally got it to work. I don't know why it has to be such an ordeal when it comes to Adobe products!

New MBA and external monitor - fan is going full speed

I just got a brand new MBA 13". When I connected via a DVI adapter to my Viewsonic 19" monitor the fan kicked into high gear and hasn't slowed since.
I am using it in dual-screen mode with both screens open, and I even have my MBA on an iLap stand to dissipate heat. The CPU temp is 77C.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the need for the fan to run full blast? Would switching to a VGA connection help? What about a different monitor (this one is 5 years old).
Thanks in advance!

There's a program in your applications folder called 'Activity Monitor' that you should check out. Sounds like there's a process maxing out your cpu when you plug in the monitor and that tool would show if that's true and what the process might be. You may have to select 'All Processes' at the top by the filter field and sort by cpu activity so the busiest comes to the top.
I have the 11 inch 1.6/4gb plugged in all day into a 24 inch, 1920x1200 lcd over dvi with both displays active at once and a 3x3 grid of spaces active (makes 18 virtual windows with the external plugged in.) and the fan is almost always at it's minimum (2000rpms) with the cpu temp just a little over where it would be at idle and the bottom only slightly warm. By the end of the day I'll have like a dozen term windows open, multiple word documents, excel, outlook, communicator, many many safari tabs/windows going, itunes,active vpn back home, 3 parallels vm's (win7, ubuntu, oracle 10g appliance), twitter, ical, apple mail, etc... and well you get the point, obviously this is a just a lowly netbook designed for light browsing! At this point the memory is maxed out and I'm using about 6GBs of swap space but the air is still silent and fast.

New MBA Gen 2 track pad button click problems

Anyone else seen this: the new MBA trackpad button must be clicked firmly and almost directly in the center or it misses clicks. The previous gen MBA was not like this.
Or is it just my unit?

Hi Edmund,
I received my MBA Gen 2 (1.86 GHz, 128 Gb SSD) last Friday (here in Japan) and over the course of the evening and early on into the next morning, I clearly noticed that sometimes (5 to 10%) when clicking the actually clicker button (that thin tab which is mechanical clicker and not the trackpad clicker which can be enabled through the sys prefs), it did not respond.
This MBA Gen 2 is replacing a 5 yr old 12 inch Powerbook. Switching from the powerbook to the mba, I can clearly tell that the clicker on my MBA is a bit dodgy. In my case, the weakness seems to be to the right of center of the clicker. But then again, I'm always clicking in that area anyways, not sure if it's any better on the left or center. If I click really hard, there's no problem, but if you click lightly, it just doesn't always react, even though it has definitely "clicked".
I called Apple Japan last Saturday and explained that this had been a problem "out of the box". Without any quibbles, they informed me that a new MBA would be ordered for me and that when it arrived, I would just have exchange the old one for the new. Only problem is, they said the delivery times are now around 2 to 3 weeks. Still, I'd rather try to get one that doesn't have this problem than not.
As they say, misery loves company, so hope this helps.
Regards,
PHB

Logicboard fried each time mba goes into sleep with external screen attached

I got new Mba 13". Plugged in my Phillips 24" screen as usual. Went away for an hour or so. Come back, and MBA doesn't wake up from sleep anymore. It's just dead, no light etc. I've tried all methods described here.
Brought it to service centre, they tell me logic board chip set is completely blown. So they replace to new logic board. Two days later, excactly same problem. When I put it to sleep without external screen, it seems fine. But once I've external screen attached. I've put it even manually to sleep. I only heard a small "flop" sound. And then again. MBA is dead.
So same thing. Brought to service center, they check. Again logic board fried. Also they told me that a lot of customers have same problem. Some ppl even replace logic board for four times!!!
Come on apple? Seriously? Whats going on here? Anybody have same problem and found solution? (except not putting it to sleep and contiously repair logic board).

Just an update on my situation... My 2nd logic board fried after about 5 days of use. Its been in the shop now for about 3 weeks waiting for another logic board as well as the USB daughterboards. Not sure how they determined that they needed to be replaced - I think they're just guessing at this point.
When you guys had your boards fried, did you have anything plugged into USB? I have a USB hub plugged in, and the hub has a hard disk, and logitech camera attached. Its been plugged in during each failure along w/ my monitor (a 22inch LG).
At this point I have no faith that the repairs will fix this. I've replaced my power strip, and will replace my USB hub next, but I just don't believe anything external is causing this, as I'm using all the same components with another laptop w/o any issues.
This next repair is my 3rd repair attempt, and my machine has been unusable since December 6th, 2011. Apple better replace it if it fails again. Nothing like buying the top of the line machine and having it in the shop for half as long as I've owned it. Apple's handing of this situation has been extremely poor, and as a first time mac owner, all I can say is I am not impressed.

New itunes crashed my entire system and corrupted itunes folder

Right now I am MAD AS ****.
I started iTunes and was told there was a new version available. Like a sucker I installed it. My iTunes folder and library with hundreds of hours of music is corrupted and the library shows up as blank. I tried uninstalling iTunes, but the new version leaves traces and when I install version 4.9 it won`t install because it finds elements of the new version. Even clicking on the iTunes library folder which is on a seoparate drive crashes my system. Now what Apple genius is responsible for this distaster!!!! And who at Apple is going to help me with this problem. Better question: Who at Apple even cares!
Can you tell I`m upset. Does anyone check the updates before sending them out to the field. %$?&*$!

OK, calm down, take a deep breathe. Ok, now that thats out of the way, please tell me exactly what happen with details so we can try to help you out.
Unfortunately, a majority of these download issues are actually Windows issues, not Apples. With that aside, as much info you can will be helpful along with what Windows OS you are running.

How can I get rid of the accumulation of the backups in the Macintosh HD of my new MBA 13.3'' ?

How can I get rid of the accumulation of the backups in the Macintosh HD of my new MBA 13.3'' ?

My best advice is that you stop worrying about the backups that TimeMachine is making on your MBA. First, these local backups are only made when TimeMachine should perform a backup but your computer isn't connected to TimeMachine. Once you reconnect your computer to TimeMachine it makes a backup and the local backups are deleted. Second, TimeMachine stops making local backups when your free drive space dips below 80%. So the local backups aren't going to take over your computer.
