TS1599 Why does my 10 month old macbook air shutdown when disconnected from power?
My Macbook Air purchased June 2012 cannot run without be connected to power.
Disconnecting from power results in a shutdown.
Without power, I cannot start up the Macbook Air.
The Battery shows 100% charge.
Have tried resetting the NVRAM - problem still occurs.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone have a solution?
Take it in for service. You have a power related problem - hardware.

My battery drains really fast and my macbook shuts off without warning basically everytime it is disconnected from power, what is wrong and how can I fix it? also whenever an application is opened the computer freezes and the application will either shut down or make the macbook run really loud.

1 month old macbook air - No Refunds or anything in Thailand !!
I bought a 13th inch brand new Macbook Air 1 month ago here in Thailand and just found out a few days that a new model was lunched. I hoped to get it changed for free and went back to one of the I studios here in Bangkok and saw right away that the same book as mine (the new one it didn't yet arrive in thailand) was price reduced of about 8000 THB (261 US - 196 EU) !!!! But they have no kind of refund service or anything !!!!!
Not even Apple online shop in Thailand ! All they told me was i should try contact the online shop in Malaysia - but whatfore??
Isn't that a poor service here in Thailand? Iknow same case in the US Apple would refund at least the amount of the 8000 THB or change it to a new Model-or i am wrong? At least Apple did so with a Iphone when the new came out - In the US...
I am a bit dissapointed at these point and wish Apple should push such Countries to deliver better Customer service to their great productsIf it makes you feel better, the same thing would have happened in any other country.

I keep getting the spinning wheel, programs take ages to open and starting up my mac takes over 5 minutes. Nothing works as it should.
Hi..
Try disabling the Lion resume feature. That may help the long startup problem.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
And delete any items in Sytem Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
And check /Library/StartupItems
If nothing above has helped, the startup disk may need repairing.
Use Lion Recovery -
Why does my 5 month old iPad not hold a charge anymore
I have had this iPad for 5 months and it now only work if it is plugged to the charger in the wall socket. When I plug it to the computer to sync the computer cannot download the driver or power it on. I changed the charge card to see if it had a short or something, but iPad does the same thing with new charge card. It will not come on at all if it is not plugged. And when it is plugged to the charger in the wall socket it will recharge and then come on. What is the problem? How do I fix it?
take it into your local apple store and have them look at it. the 30 pin port on the iPad can go bad.

Why does the sound to my MacBook Air stop working after it wakes up from sleeping?
When I leave my headphones in the headphone jack and then close the computer to sleep, when it wakes back up the sound will not work.
It doesn't work with the headphones in or out, it is just completely disabled. I tried muting and unmuting and and toggling the volume but the only thing that works is restarting the computer.
Obviously, the sound works after restart but it is an inconvenience due to the tone on restart which is not the greatest noise when trying to work with a sleeping baby in the house (Which is why I use headphones in the first place.)
Any help is much appreciated.Plug in the headphone and remove it

Macbook Pro freezes when disconnected from Internet
I'm so frustrated, I was doing important work and now I'm about to pull my hair out, I need to finish what I was doing but I can't even turn on my computer without it freezing, I literally can't even move the mouse because it freezes right on loading screen every time I restart, here's the story.
I disconnected the Internet for just a few seconds, then the computer froze. So naturally I restarted the computer, but each time I restart, it just freezes, I can't move the mouse, I can't click on anything, it's just frozen. Let me know how frustrating that is that you don't have computer access after working on important files.
I have a 2008 non unibody Macbook pro with OS X mavericks, I knew the computer froze when I turned off wifi, but I correlated that with the app that I was running, since I wasn't running the app this time, I thought I could turn off wifi no problem.
But like I said, now I can't even restart or use it at all. I can't even use safe mode because it freezes there too. I can do the cmd+shift+ctrl+r thing and I can connect to the Internet that way, but there's nothing I can do from there. Once I restart, the Internet connection is still disconnected in the main operating system.Okay I solved the problem. For anyone who runs across this issue in the future, here is the solution:
Step 1) Turn on the computer and hold CMD + Option + S, this will boot the computer into single user mode
Step 2) Type in "Mount -uw /"
Step 3) Type in "vi /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist"
Step 4) Scroll down until you find this part:
<key>Interface</key>
<dict>
<key>en1</key>
<dict>
<key>AirPort</key>
<dict>
<key>JoinModeFallback</key>
<array>
<string>DoNothing</string>
</array>
<key>PowerEnabled</key>
<false/>
<key>RememberJoinedNetworks</key>
<true/>
<key>RequireAdminIBSS</key>
<false/>
<key>RequireAdminNetworkChange</key>
<false/>
<key>RequireAdminPowerToggle</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
Step 5: Edit the part where it says:
<key>PowerEnabled</key>
<false/>
and change it to <true/>
Step 6: Hit Ctrl + X, hit Y for Yes, press enter.
Step 7: RESTART AND YOU HAVE YOUR COMPUTER BACK!!
I panicked by the way because as someone said earlier, it's nearly impossible to fix:
You cannot fix this problem with Safe Boot, Repair Permissions, Repair Disk, re-install Mavericks, restore from Time Machine backup, reset the SMC, reset PRAM, or boot into single-user mode. Thus far, the only solution is to boot from a (homemade) Install OS X Mavericks USB, erase the hard drive, perform a clean Mavericks install, re-install your applications, and manually restore your data.
Anyway I'm thankful for Ira Wolf 81 for figuring out, he deserves all the credit for this, I merely repeated his steps and found out he was right. Cheers. -

Handoff does not work on a 2 1/2 year old MacBook Air
As I do a lots of fieldwork I was looking forward to using the new handoff feature in Yosemite which would allow me to transfer my work from my iPad to my 2 1/2 year old MacBook Air. I have now discovered that my laptop is too old for this feature. Why? This smacks of built-in obsolescence.
This is a user-to-user support forum, so we can't usually explain the "why" of many Apple decisions, although you may get some educated guesses from someone here. You can provide feedback to Apples at https://www.apple.com/feedback/ if you like.
May not help, but my MacBook Air is a mid-2012 model that is supposed to support Handoff but I've yet to get it to work in spite of meticulously following all of the instructions.
Also may not help, but I don't really care if I don't get it to work as all it would seem to do is very slightly reduce the number of steps to open a document on the other device. Without Handoff I can start a document in Pages on my MacBook Air, save to iCloud then go to my iPhone and open Pages and resume editing there. You may already be aware of that -- and you may have more need or use of Handoff than I do -- but thought I would point that out just in case you were thinking Handoff provided more capabilities than it does. -
My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
Upgrade Fee
It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on. -

Hi A,
You have 3 months of free AppleCare phone support, and a 1 year hardware warranty. If I was concerned about anything on my new MBP, I'd contact Apple. -

Why does Apple kick their old subscribers under the bus? I have an iMac G5 1.9 and 2.1 computer using Leopard 10.5.8 system, and I cannot renew my MobileMe account, why? Is Apple incapable of keeping their old subscriber accounts active and still update their system? Maybe I should look into buying a PC in the future? I eagerly await your reply. Thanks
MobileMe is being terminated in two weeks. If you have files on your iDisk which are not also on your computer you need to be downloading them as soon as possible or you will lose them.
You can migrate to iCloud and set Mail up manually to receive your @me.com mail:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You will not be able to sync calendars or contacts. If you want to have general online file storage you will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?
Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?
