Waking after sleep Mac Book Air
Hi. I have posted this question before and was kindly informed by a member that the problem of waking after sleep might disappear after updating to OSX 10.9.4. It hasn't helped. Are there any suggestions. This is happening repeatedly now and I see from one member who reset theta the problem returned. My 11 inch Mac Book Air is only six or seven months old. This started happening occasionally within three months of purchase. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully (some of it is hidden by disclosure triangles) and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading "Additional troubleshooting." If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
This step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for Diagnostic and Usage Messages. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in Step 1, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

After I updated lion to 10.7.4, app store does not recognize my ID APPLE and it unable to connect me to app store in order to update/download apps? What have I to do? I have the same problem with mac mini e mac book air. Please help me!
Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration... -
I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -

I accidentaly spilled tea in my mac book air. I did a few steps to get the water out of my track pad, but after a few days when i opened the computer, it said safety boot. What should i do?
*** When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.
If you aren't sure, (you can do this in Safe Mode) click About this Mac from your Apple menu
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

i was trying to download windows 7 on mac book air 10.8.2.seems like i didnt copy my windos disk on the usb properly at the begining,so after the boot camp steps the screen is black and telle me to put the write disk.
eventually i made a coorect usb windows 7 and put it back to continue as it was saying so,but there is no change and the screen still is dark and says no bootable disk ,insert.
how to solve the problem?Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea. -

My mac book air doesnt turn off and if i put the screen down doesnt sleep
My mac book air doesnt turn off if i click on shut down . it is not sleeping either. if i put the screen down it keeps turning on and the apple logo keeps blinking. it only turns off if i press the power button for few seconds . Please help. Another thing is condensation . i opened my mac 2 days ago there was water on keys and on the screen I guess extremes of temperature caused moisture to develop. What seems to be the issue with its turning off and sleeping. Thank God the water didnt short circuit it. Its still working but just not sleeping or shutting down normally. Please help needed. I love my MAC and cant afford to loose it ! HELP !!
You will want to show it to an AASP to have it checked.

Hi,
I purchased some songs on iTunes using my mac book air. I tried to play them some days later on my Mac but are not available. I tried updating / running Match no joy.
any ideas?
thanks,
Kim JohnsonThanks for the response. That was helpful. However, I still want to know why did the songs I purchased yesterday appear on my IPod for downloading but the those I purchased today did not? After you rassistance I went to settings and turned on automatic downloading for my ipod. So if it wasn't enabled yesterday, how was I able to see the purchases I made yesterday on my computer on the ipod and then download them to the ipod? That is what I expected to see today but all I was seeing were the songs I purchased yesterday and not the ones I did today.

I bought a Mac Book Air 3 month ago. I upgrade Lion software several hours ago. Later I reboot and I left to work. When I arrive, I can't turn on my MAC. Only light up the capital letter light, all the other parts are
dead o seem to be. Can you tell me what I have to do to solve the problem, please?We can't, but Apple can, contact customer service, have your serial number ready and for a small fee Apple will send you a replacement.
If you're in a hurry, go to the Apple Store and purchase a copy of OSX ($29 in the US)
