Brand new MacBook Pro 13" black screen.
I only bought the MacBook yesterday, brought it home, turned it on to start playing.
About an hour into me using it, the screen went black and at the very far left of the screen there was vertical flashing green lights. I restarted and it was working fine, then about 45 minutes later, it happened again but there was vertical flashing orange lights and again, I had to restart.
Any ideas?Take it back. You have 14 days from date of purchase for an exchange or refund.
If this is a brand new MacBook, that should happen. -
Why my brand-new macbook air getting so slow on internet connection?
My mba getting so slow all the sudden, it take me at least 20 sec to get on Google page. anybody can tell me what is wrong?
Have to say comparing this thread to many others that it isn't just the internet and wireless connection. I'm just about ready to throw my new Macbook in the garbage as this has been an ongoing issue since I bought it. And it's not the connectioon as anyone else coming in to our home is able to connect easily, Google TV runs just fine, the only device with issues is the MacBook. The hours I waste waiting for pages to load or trying to reconnect are numerous. Very dissappointed.
While this thread had a happy outcome, most of the others are like my situation where the problem doesn't get resolved. If the standard PCs and windows can work fine why doesn't a Mac. I feel duped and dumped twice as much money into a device that doesn't work as good as the less expensives laptops with Windows.

Brand New MacBook Air Randomly Resetting (IMO WiFi Issue)
Good evening,
My problem is as follows:
I purchased a brand new Macbook Air last week and since the get go have been having issues while transferring large amounts of data over WIFI. The issue is that it seems when there is no activity (I leave the files transferring and have no interaction with the computer) and the files are transferring, some sort of error occurs and creates the system to panic and subsequently reboots.
I have contacted Apple, and they ran me through a few common procedures (Reset SMC, RAM, Disk Repair, etc...). On my own I also ran the Hardware Tool several times and the results was always the same (everything in perfectly working order). I also did a restore in the event that it may be some faulty system file, yet to no avail as the problem persists.
As per my title, I believe it has something to do with WiFi card, as I even disconnected all peripherals (USB Apple Keyboard & My Passport External HDD), yet again and as mentioned above the system continues to reboot without any apparent reason.
Below is a copy of the log, certain information has been changed such as UUID, but everything else is as is.
Could it be a hardware problem? As I am only seeing (as of now) this happen whenever I leave the computer and it is downloading a file.

I have latest version of Mountain Lion on brand new MacBook Air but can't install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe website as it always times out with error message...?
OK...I have tried to download from:
get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
It tells me that the Adobe Flash Player is version 11.5.502.146
Intel based Macs
Browser: Safari, Firefox, Opera
I click Download now (I don't have any antivirus software running or a firewall)
The screen then changes to say:
Thankyou your download will commence immediately...
Then I get a nes screen with message:
Request Timeout
The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.
Reference #2.c29aef50.1359298991.0
I have also tried installing a differnt version by clicking on the "Different operating system or browser?'' and
selecting
Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
Flash Player 11 for Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8
The same thing then happens...Thank you. Your download will start immediately...then about 20 secs later
Request Timeout.

Internet slow on my brand new macbook air
Hi my internet is very slow (almost unresponsive) when loading pages on my brand new macbook air.
The internet in my house is working fine. I can still stream movies on other devices with no problems.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you
-SarahHave to say comparing this thread to many others that it isn't just the internet and wireless connection. I'm just about ready to throw my new Macbook in the garbage as this has been an ongoing issue since I bought it. And it's not the connectioon as anyone else coming in to our home is able to connect easily, Google TV runs just fine, the only device with issues is the MacBook. The hours I waste waiting for pages to load or trying to reconnect are numerous. Very dissappointed.
While this thread had a happy outcome, most of the others are like my situation where the problem doesn't get resolved. If the standard PCs and windows can work fine why doesn't a Mac. I feel duped and dumped twice as much money into a device that doesn't work as good as the less expensives laptops with Windows.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?
I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

Brand new MacBook Air came out of box damaged?
I purchased a new early 2014 13" MacBook Air last week, and I'm already having troubles with it.
I noticed the minute I opened it that there was a small chip on the edge of the laptop near the trackpad and decided to just deal with it cause I thought the genius bar workers might blow me off or accuse me of somehow doing it. Tonight I was working on assignments when I shut the laptop and realised that the screen was very very slightly misaligned on the edges, and then when I flipped it over I found that the bottom casing had lifted on one side near the plastic hinges.
It hasn't left my room and I am very gentle with all my apple products. No one else has touched it, either.
I feel like if I pay $1,400, the product I buy should be pretty flawless?
I'm just looking for reassurance that going to the genius bar is the best thing to do (I've booked in for Saturday). I am also wondering if they replace it, will they give me a refurbished product instead of a brand new MacBook Air?
Thanks ☺️You have a 14 day return policy if you purchased the MBA from Apple. If your MBA meets that criteria, return it.

My brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way.
Hi my brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way. If I try to restart it or shut it down, it will go like it is starting up, but goes to a gray screen and stays there. I can see the mouse and move it, but it won't turn all the way on. What is wrong with it? It had been working fine since I got it, but today it hasn't been.
You may have to see if troubleshooting this issue can help, though the instructions on a process of elimination by symptoms are tedious in the following support article, and are suggested to be performed ahead of trying the process described in the title.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
For the actual SMC reset, note subsection in above, instructions click-open on blue text:
>Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
If the computer does not shut down, and just hangs there, try pressing the power button down for 15 seconds. Check the suggestions in the above article to see if any of them can be used, if the computer will power-up.
There is another item that sometimes can help, but the main issue you say could be resolved by the SMC reset; this other thing is involved NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) so here's an article about it.
•About NVRAM and PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
>Resetting NVRAM/PRAM opens in above, click-to-see instructions on how to reset.
You may have to call ahead to the nearest Apple Store for an appointment to see a Genius; or at authorized reseller, their service product specialist who should be trained to understand how to proceed, just in case there is a hardware issue behind the symptoms. When you call, be sure to have the serial number and purchase date available, when you call an official store.
Or use the 'Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support' to start the process...

Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing! -

Macbook Air 2014 Black Screen w cursor after waking from sleep.
I just purchased a brand new macbook air this past week. I noticed within the first day of using that if my machine went into sleep mode, and I hit a key to take it out of sleep mode, it would go to a black screen with my cursor for about 30 seconds.
It does not do it every time but enough that it is annoying. I am coming from a mid 2011 mac air that did not have any issues. (only replaced for all day battery)
Do you think this a hardware or software issue? If i swap this mac out do you think I will just encounter the same thing?
I have read numerous posts regarding waking from sleep issues but they all seem to be affecting MacBooks purchased between 2012 and 2013.
Any help would be much appreciated.
NickUPDATE:
I called apple tech support and after talking a bit decided best course of action was to replace the macbook air as I was inside my 14 day buyers remorse.
I came home and hoped all was well when this one began doing the same thing. I made an appt with the genius bar to dive further in to this and we did a complete wipe on the computer and reinstalled the OS. The "genius" said I'm probably bringing something over from my previous mac air. (even though it never had this issue).
So after completely reinstalling the OS and setting up my macbook as new I pretty much lost all my settings and what not accumulated after 3 years with my previous mac. They did use Time Machine to at least bring my iPhoto library over and iTunes music.
It has been exactly one day since this was completed and the computer is doing the exact same thing. ***!!! -
I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!
Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you. -
Hi I have just aquired a new MacBook Air and I want to stop using my old Dell laptop as my itunes synch with my ipod. Can I now sync the Ipod with the itunes account on my new Macbook? I am worried it will take hours to synch if I choose the erase and synch option?
Is all the content from your iTunes library on the old Dell laptop now on your MacBook air? If you copied the entire iTunes folder and copied it over the existing iTunes folder, your iPod will still think it is being synced to the same iTunes library and there would be no need to do an erase and sync.

I just purchased a new MacBook Air last night from my local Apple Store. All was well until this morning when suddenly the screen went black and non-responsive. It beeps every few seconds and the keyboard is lit. The beep continues even when the cover is down. The battery is about 3/4 full. Did I get a lemon? I've only had the machine for about 16 hours and I'm a bit frustrated. Any help would be most appreciated.
Apple will take care of that, if you're worried about private data you can't access, it's no worry,
you're SSD will be recycled and you're data will not end up in anyone's hands
Your ID will also be deauthorized from the unit by Apple
