I have MacBook Air late 2011 with encryption enabled the mac froze and I pressed the power button to shut it down but then the gray screen appeared no wheels nothing just gray. I tried all steps but nothing helped. Worse than that only the pram key combination works I cant get the cmd-r or just alt or any combination to work??? Any suggestions would help. Thanks!
P.s. I am on mountain lion with ssd encryption enabled. The mac froze when the internet stopped the one from the cable (I use ethernet usb one) when I turned wifi on it froze. I have disconnected everything when trying the steps except power cable.
Boot into Internet Recovery (command-option-R at the startup chime) and try to repair the boot volume in Disk Utility. You will have to unlock the volume before you can do anything with it.

Hello, I have a MacBook Air, when I was watching a movie it started to freeze, so I turned off. But when I turn it on just the white screen appears nothing else. I looked on other websites, but the methods didn't help.
Try a Safe Mode boot ...
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu. -

Macbook air (late 2011) & Apple TV
How do I mirror my macbook air (late 2011) onto Apple TV?
No you don't have it kbirbalsingh, you need OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or newer which is a purchase from the App Store.
There are third party apps such as airparrot, reflectorapp and beamer which could also help you with OS X 10.7 (I have only used airparrot myself).

Hi there, I have MacBook Air (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.2. I want to update to latest OSX but it is saying that I need to first install MBA Flash Firmware Update 1.1. When I try to install this firmware, I am told I should have OSX 10.8.3, Each one asking other to update first, can some one help me in this regard ?
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -

I have macbook air late 2010 model... it works fine otherwise but it has started being overheated in normal situations where normally it used to work fine and draining more battery....... battery time is almost half now.
should i reset SMC... would it help?I'm doubtful it's a missing driver too, but I feel as though it's driver related. The first time XP was installed, after first boot without installing drivers, it was without sound etc, but fundamentally the system worked. Now after first boot, it's very buggy. Thanks for your suggestion Tonny. I ran the tool but it turns out the HDD is fine. Besides, everything runs fine in safe mode.
Does anyone know if (generally speaking) there is any firmware on the graphics card that would get updated via a Windows update? i.e. is it possible that Windows update downloaded a driver for the graphics card that installed new firmware that wasn't all that compatable with XP? -

You could try booting the MBP using the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys and see if it will connect to the Apple servers. This would allow you to install the original OSX . I have my doubts though.
- I've tried something crazy suggested in another thread; leaving the Macbook partially opening and shaking it, which supposedly does something to the "sudden motion sensor".
The Sudden Motion Sensor is applicable for conventional Hard Drives, not the SSD that is in a MBA. Doing that will serve no useful purpose.
You have exhausted all reasonable options and will just have to have the MBA evaluated at the genius bar.

TS2570 I have tried all these steps and still the Gray Screen appears. What shall I do now?
I still have the appearance of the gray screen after preforming all the solutions provided by apple support.
What shall I do now?Of course it would help to know what you have tried but without that information here goes:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
Crashing after return from screen saver. MacBook Air late 2011 Lion
Hi, hoping to get some help from this community. I have a late model 2011 MacBook air running the latest version of OS X Lion. The last few months I've had an issue with getting a complete black screen with the squarely ball rotating and otherwise very little response but I can move the mouse around. The last time this happened, I was actually able to three finger swipe between desktops, but otherwise the system was unresponsive. This swiping between desktops eventually stopped also. Alt-tab also work as long as I was switching between desktops. While I can still scroll the cursor around the only way out seems to be a hard reboot.
My configuration is fairly standard, however I do have office 2011 installed and also Lotus Notes. Both are at the latest level, however I do realize this might be part of the problem. I am also using a VPN connection into work however this is a normal set up through OS X.
I'm trying to narrow this down to root causes. Any thoughts?Boot into Internet Recovery (command-option-R at the startup chime) and try to repair the boot volume in Disk Utility. You will have to unlock the volume before you can do anything with it.

hello anyone i have a late 2011 macbook pro that i purchsed second hand it already had lion installed i wanted to install mavericks which I tried a four digit pin code came up thus locking my mac I took it to the geeksquad they wiped my harddrive and tried to renstall the OX they said they could not do it because a firmware passcode or filevault passcode was on it so I now have a brick can anyone help me fix this problem thanks for any info
Pawn shop! They only looked after it for a stranger then the ticket ran out. Will apple accept that sell-on as a bill of sale? I'll give you 50:50 chance on that. Did you see Apple recently refused to unlock an ipad left to a guy by his mother who died of cancer. Apple wanted a court order! (Til it got on the national TV news).
Someone will have to produce the original owner's bill of sale I reckon. -
Usb 3.0 not working on Windows 7 (MacBook Air late 2011)
Hello everybody.
I've been running Windows 7 perfectly on my late 2011 11-inch mackbook air (runs even smoother than Mavericks, seems that Apple forgot about macbook air users when releasing that update, and doesn't even let me downgrade without buying the previous OS X ¬¬)
Ranting apart I've been having the following problem: my Toshiba external 3.0 usb HD drive works perfectly on OS X (always did and still does) but i can't make it work on Win 7. When I plug the usb connector, it appears as it recognized an external hdd, but it isn't able to get the drivers or recognize the drive properly. So it just doesn't work, I can't access it. I've been searching for usb 3.0 drivers for boot camp or win 7 and haven't been successful with what i've found.
Anybody had this problem?
Anybody got to fix it?
I'm really annoyed that i can't use my external hdd.
Thanks for reading!maybe it's because your ext hd is in mac os filesystem which windows cant read?
