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

MacBook Air 2013 Camera Problems
I have a MacBook Air 2013 and recently, after the most current update my built-in camera not only does not work with Skype but does not work with Facetime or Photobooth either.
Under "Camera" in System Report my camera does not show up. I have rebooted, shutdown and cold-booted, pressed Shift + Alt + Ctrl + Command when booting.
I don't want to do a fresh install of my (brand new) computer all over again just yet. What should I do? Is it a software issue?
It's rather frustrating because I can't Skype or even Facetime my family and resorting to an external webcam is a ridiculous notion for a laptop.
Thanks,
scintoonHey dominic23,
Thanks - that update solved the issue of me not being able to use the webcam. However, now my mic does not work as well. I have rebooted a few times (shut down, cold boot) as well as holding the Shift + Alt + Command when powering up.
Is there a fix to this? Apple seriously needs to fool-proof these updates. Or, at least never have any of these problems in Mavericks
Thanks for all your help. -
Macbook Air 2013 - Sleep Problem
The new macbook air 2013 13' sometimes goes right back to sleep after 5 seconds from waking up. I was wondering if this was happening to other macbook air users and wondering if I can fix this.
ThanksWell the strange thing is i had this problem too went to the apple store couple of times and they mentionened twice that they are aware of this problem and it will be fixed in an update......
A month ago i spilled water on my mba and motherboard was replaced funny thing is with my old drive and only motherboard replaced i do not have this problem anymore....therefore i am allmost absolutly sure this was hardware issue.
Apple's got a hand on denying this sort of issues because if they acknowledge you can let your mb replaced for free.... but of course you never know for sure and thats what they know.... -

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:

Macbook Air 2013 battery problem
Hi all,
I just got my brand new Macbook Air 2013 model today, I can't power it up until the AC Adapter is connected. When I finished all the setups, login into the system, I found out the battery shows 0%. This is my first Mac, would like to know if this is normal. Cause from my experience with windows laptop, they all comes with pre-charged battery. Thank you very much for your assistance in advance.That's not normal, & if it doesn't begin to work as expected after say, 15 minutes, try
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
but it's likely that you have a faulty computer. -
I just got myself a new Macbook Air 2013 and while I realized I couldn't expect the smoothest experience, I never expected this much hassle with it. So many differnet issues. No need to have a sad face about it, though - let's get together and figure out how to make this work! At least we only have one graphics chip to worry about this time around
This is going to be a pretty long post but I figured it's good to have it all in one place. Please correct me if you think this is the wrong way to post these things.
Installing and booting
Booting from a normal 2013.6 USB key works fine, but I couldn't seem to get either GRUB or Syslinux working.
I was able to boot by first installing Arch Linux following the Macbook guide at the wiki (having a separate FAT32 /boot partition). Skip the bootloader installation.
Installing rEFInd from OS X (important!) and installing the EFI stub loader made me able to boot fine.
Separate thread.
Stability problems
This is the big worry for me. Every now and then my system hangs for a brief moment and everything involving net or disk access just hangs there for a while and then it seems to work.
So far it only seems to happen when I run something disk- or CPU-intensive. Also had an occassion when I couldn't start X and just got this repeating all over my screen:
ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED
ata1.00: cmd 61/08:f0:10:8c:c2/00:00:0b:00:00/40 tag 30 ncq 4096 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
On the next attempt it worked fine.
I did SMART short and long tests on my disk and they returned fine:
smartctl -a
There are some messages in my boot that indicate this could be disk and/or ACPI related.
journalctl -b
dmesg
This was on a boot when my NIC was renamed from eth0 to wlp3s0 as noted under Wifi - this should hopefully not be a big deal to fix. Will update when I look more into it.
uname -a:
Linux temperance 3.9.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 20 22:45:32 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
WiFi
WiFi does not work out of the box. Installing wireless-bcm43142-dkms from AUR made me able to connect to my network. I haven't been able to get it stable yet -interface name changes randomly between wlp3s0 and eth0 between reboots and I get disconnected from my network every 30 minutes or so. Disconnects seem to correlate somewhat with the freezes mentioned above.
Separate thread.
Touchpad
Have only been able to get it to work like a one-button mouse using evdev for now. Looks like an upstream bug.
Separate thread
Audio
In order to get audio, I need to put the following in /etc/asound.conf:
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 1
I'm no ALSA pro, but I can only seem to get output from the headphone jack so far - no speakers yet.
Last edited by Legogris (2013-06-27 20:21:11)While I'm using Ubuntu and not Arch, I wanted to chip in with my experiences.
First, I am happy to tell you that I've found a fix for the ata errors/freezes (which for me were so bad I could hardly install) -- at least I think it's the same or related. I got udevd spitting errors about blkid timing out, and it couldn't find the disks. I found this in a Ubuntu forum -- sadly, I can't find the url now. Anyway, Pass
libata.force=1:noncq
to the linux kernel parameters (in Ubuntu you can add this to /etc/default/grub). This disables NCQ, which according to that post wasn't needed.
YMMV and I am not certain that it doesn't have bad side effects, but for me it made the laptop usable.
Other findings:
My Fn key, and thus delete, page up/down, media keys etc didn't work. That's because the keyboard has a new device id which isn't in usbhid. I added entries like the existing apple keyboards with the new device id (05ac:0291) and after recompiling, it works. I'm pretty sure this is fixable by passing the correct "quirks" flags to the usbhid module, e.g. "quirks=0x05ac:0x0291:0x00001248", but I'm not sure which flags should be set (I have an ISO keyboard layout which is yet another flag).
My sound card doesn't work. Or; i hear no sound at least ;-). After checking in alsamixer, it had two cards, one HDMI with S/PDIF only and one with analog in/out and digital in. I tried passing "index=1" to snd_hda_intel, which makes alsamixer pick up the right card by default. I'm not sure if the problem is that pulseaudio still has the wrong card, or something else.
My wifi works after installing bcmwl from Saucy (i.e. the upcoming Ubuntu 13.10 release), which was a relief because I feared this not being supported.
Sometimes after resuming from suspend, the screen is totally dark -- barely discernible in bright daylight. First I figured this was an issue with lightum (a daemon which monitors the lighting and adjusts keyboard and screen brightness), but after checking /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness it turns out that when this happens, only the brightness levels 13, 14, and 15 (which is the brightest) have any brighness at all. 12 and under means no backlight. The only "fix" I've found so far is rebooting, which sucks. I hope this will get fixed (I will report a bug on Launchpad next time it happens).
Somewhere I picked up that passing
i915.i915_enable_rc6=1
to the linux parameters enables some great power saving features in the GPU. From modinfo:
i915_enable_rc6:Enable power-saving render C-state 6. Different stages can be selected via bitmask values (0 = disable; 1 = enable rc6; 2 = enable deep rc6; 4 = enable deepest rc6). For example, 3 would enable rc6 and deep rc6, and 7 would enable everything. default: -1 (use per-chip default) (int)
Oh, and if anybody knows how I get my GNU/Linux partition to show up in the Mac boot screen I would be grateful! Right now I have refit installed, which works but I would rather just use the built-in boot manager, which works on the predecessor (MBA 3,2). -

i know that new macbook air 2103 comes with new 802.11ac Wi-Fi and as far as i know its a 5ghz i read someone have same problem with the same macbook air but different router,and he is assuming that new wi fi AC is not backward compatibile with the older or regular routers,i dont know if this is true but can someone try to help me to solve this problem,maybe i need to change settings in mac?in the manual i linked up on resent post you can see how to acces the router.
it says
Step 1
Launch a browser on your computer. Enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address box, and press Enter.
Step 2
On the login page, enter your user name and password.
By default, both the user name and password are user.
For security reasons or to make the user name and password easy to remember, you can change them. For details, see section 4.1 "Changing the User Name and Password for the Web-Based Configuration Utility".
Step 3
Click Login.
After verification, the web-based configuration utility is displayed.
The first time you log in to the web-based configuration utility, a configuration wizard is displayed. To skip the wizard and further configure your HG532e, click Here when the following message displays: Click Here to enter the advanced configuration page.
and go to advanced configuration page and se WiFi settings, check transfer mode/protocol 802.11 if it is on b/g b/g/n
you can try to set it to 802.11g only and change channel to 11 or 9
Yes you need to do that on your mac when your connected to the network, then you will get an Advance view option over WiFi. -
My macbook air 2013 will not find any wireless printers
My macbook air 2013 with OS X 10.9.3 will not find any wireless printers. I've tried to add printers at a number of different locations and each time it fails to find any printers despite one's being online and fully functional. I am able to print from my iPhone on these networks to the wireless printers but my macbook air won't find any at all? The macbook air is online using the wifi network no problem - just won't find any printers, please help.
You can download and run the free application Bonjour Browser. It will show whether the printer is detectable on the network. The printer should show up in one or more of the following categories:
Internet Printing Protocol
Print Spooler
Printer PDL Data Stream

Hello,
A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. Then, I pressed POWER & OPTOIN buttons and internet options appeared for internet recovery. After internet recovery, the OS X utilities appears with four options (Restore from Time machine, Reinstall OS X, Get help online and Disk utility). But none of them seemed helpful. On the last option Disk utility, the icon created only with 33KB and other disk 1 Mac Os X Base system. On First Aid, the icon Repair disk is disabled. So I could not click on repair disk. Could you please suggest me how to solve this problem asap? Thank you so much for your help in advance!You can try the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard 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:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -

Hello,
i've got a problem(if we can call it) with my Macbook Air 2013(bought on july 2013).
when i type,i usually put my hands on the surface right next to the pad.
i do not apply any forces or put all the weight on the surface but it sounds like a crack or something similar.
and i also see that the surface goes down for a few mm.
thanks
Albertoyour touchpad is probably cracked... get it repaired by the guys at apple.

Can not open app store on macbook air 2013
I just bought a 2nd Macbook Air 2013 using OS X 10.9.2 (13C64), but don:t know why I can't open the App Store on my macbook without any notifications when I click on the icon. Anyone can let me know what's the problem and what should I do now? Thank you very much!
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing 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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
