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

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

It's new and in warranty. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Lots of Problems with New MacBook Air

I just got my MacBook Air and when I type any number on the keyboard it will type as if I am pressing the shift key and in Safari if I click something it will be added to my bookmarks bar and it doesnt recognize the camera, which is the internal one. Please help!

A few things to note...
If you had contacted Apple about each of the issues that you reported here, they would have kept a log of the problems that would help them determine whether to continue support after the warranty expires.
You might consider asking about "Flat Rate Repair Pricing." See the discussion thread here and note that some users report that the flat rate repair pricing is only available in the U.S. and Japan.

Actually, I had great experiences with two different macs sent to the repair depot. One computer had narcolepsy on day one. Apple sent me a box, I packed up the PB and dropped it off at UPS. Apple fixed and returned to my house two days later. The second MBP had a known video card problem. I took it to an Apple Store Genius who ran a specifc test and deduct that it was the known defective video card. The store was out of parts and ordering would take a week. Knowing my past experience with the Repair Depot, I ask for that option. The genius took my MBP and shipped it to the depot that night. Three days later, I received the fixed MBP and on the work order, their tests showed failed fans that they also replaced. Three or four weeks later, the Apple Store called to tell me they got the video card in stock.
Gather up your grit, perseverance, and persistence before contacting Apple. Try bypassing phone support by contacting them via their online support system with the link I provided in the previous post. (I remember using the online support system and was able to choose to have them call me. At the time, I had AppleCare so i'm not certain with out-of-warranty.) Another option is to seek an authorized Apple service provider.
Good Luck!

I face a problem with my macbook air or i think it's from the lion OS cause i didn't happen with snow leopard OS the massage says ( you can't open the application ....... because powerPC applications are no longer supported) any advice ??

I face a problem with my macbook air or i think it's from the lion OS cause i didn't happen with snow leopard OS the massage says ( you can't open the application ....... because powerPC applications are no longer supported). any advice ??

Mac OS X Lion has dropped support for Rosetta, the feature that allowed you to run PowerPC apps on previous OS X systems. Check if you can find a newer version of the app you are trying to run that supports Intel processors.
What application are you trying to run? Maybe I can help you find a version that runs on Lion.

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.

You can't run Windows on your Macbook Air without having Mac OS X installed with Boot Camp. So it should be an option to select the Mac OS X partition at startup when holding down the option key. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4818

hello i have been having some problems with my macbook pro. for some reason it takes a very long time to turn on and once it gets to the password login it doesnt let me type the password.. but after about an hour or so it lets me log in..

chrism15_15,
is Mac OS X 10.6.8 what you currently have installed on your MacBook Pro? Do you still have your two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro?

Hello, i have a problem with my macbook air. When i try to open my iPhoto i should wait about 3mins to get opened it and also in it just appeared around 57000 photos! in which i have 2000. they are not mine, the photos are pics of other people or things

If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

Having problems with my macBook Air wifi staying connected

I'm having problems with my MacBook Air staying connected to wifi....Help - Very frustrating!!!

When you go to perform a software update or make a system change it'll prompt you for an administrator's password. If you're the only user on the machine, you're also the administrator.
If you've forgotten this password it can be reset using Disc 1 of the System Restore DVDs that came with your computer. Because the MBA lacks an optical drive there are two ways to perform the password reset:
1. Purchase/use the external, USB-based MacBook Air SuperDrive
2. Use CD/DVD sharing between another, compatible computer on your network
Steps on how to do this are found between 46-49 in the owner's guide that came with your machine or it can be downloaded via the web at:

Problem with reformatting Macbook Air

I have previously reformatted my Macbook Air. However I do not have the Apple ID which was used to purchase OS X Lion as the owner is no longer around. I am not able to complete this process and subsequently, it states, " it does not have installation information". How can I resolve this problem and obtain a new Macbook Air?

A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare.

Best.

No problem with iMac, MacBook Air, but no joy with iPod touch

I switched ISP last week, and while I was able to link Mail with a MacBook Air, I hit disaster when I tried to do likewise with iPod Touch. I have my email with one ISP, but the new ISP gives me better broadband, and so I must use their SMTP. At first I had no problem as I inserted the correct Incoming and outgoing settings. Now I can't get past the first step of the new account box. That box throws up a webmail address I never had, and an Stmp I dispensed with last week. When I proceed to insert the correct settings, I get a message that my email service won't work. At my wits end with this. Can anyone help? Please.

Do the incoming and outgoing mail server settings match those of what is shown on your MacBook Air?

Slooowww download speeds with new MacBook Air.

I recently replaced my old MacBook from 2007 with a new MacBook Air. Since I've gotten it I've had a series of frustruations. I hadn't even thought to check if it had an ethernet port or a cd drive. Because it has nither I've had to download versions of things I'd generally install via CD. My download speeds seem to be incredibly slow on this new MacBook Air, it took hours to download firefox. I feel like my older MacBook was much faster, I don't understand. I recently did a speed test (I have Comcast) for the MacBook Air and it came up with a 1mbps download speed. Is this an issue with the computer or with my modem (docis 3.0, cable) or router (standard belkin) or with Comcast? I'm pretty frustrutaed.
Other questions:
I'd love to plug this directly into our cable modem, but I see that I need an adapter.
I'd also love to connect this to my iMac via thunderbolt cable and use use target disc mode to install some stuff.
I'd like to buy a plain thunderbolt cable to have for use with more modern computers, and adapters for use with this older/other stuff. Is there an adapter that lets me attach the thunderbolt cable to an ethernet wire so I can plug directly into the modem? Also, my imac has a firewire 800 port, not a thunderbolt port, so is there a thunderbolt to firewire 800 cable?
What would be the cheapest way of getting these cables and adapters, (links would be very appreciated!)?
Thanks!

Yes. Take it back for a replacement. Take the computer with you so you can test the new one.
