Would a MacBook Air start off the charger with the battery removed???
I have a MacBook Air that got wet. I replaced the DC-in and that didn't work.I disconnected the battery cable and connected the AC and the MagSafe LED flashes green at a rate of about once per second. It's also very faint, but you can see it in the dark.
I know it could be logic board, but is this also a sign of a dead battery?
In other words: if one disconnected the battery in a MacBook Air, would it still power on from just the AC?

Yes, I'm aware. That's not what I was asking.
Well thanks for the points
I don't know whether it will start without battery, but under your circumstances I would not try until a week had passed with the MBA in a warm dry location, preferably upside down to try to move moisture away from the electrics

I bought a used macbook air, it didn't come with the flash drive to do a factory reset. Can I download the info needed and save it to my own flash drive and then do a factory reset? If not what can I do?
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, click here, phone Apple, and order a replacement.
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart it with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

i dont have ilife on my macbook air, i tried installing it with the reinstall drive still its not happening what should i do?, i dont have ilife on my macbook air, i tried installing it with the reinstall drive still its not happening what should i do?
Hi,
use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/ to clone the OSX from your internal SSD to the external USB-connected one.
Boot OSX from the external harddisk and install what programs/apps you want.
No need to buy another OSX as Apple explicitly allows such usage.
I don't have a MBA so I can't comment on the USB-hub.

Can using my Macbook Air (2014 13") while charging harm by battery?
I have Macbook Air 13inch. I want to know if I can use it while charging and what's better for the battery, charging it to 100% and unplugging or using it while it's connected to the electricity? I read something that it's not good for the battery. If it's possible can you please tell me what I should do for better battery life?
You certainly can use your MBA while it is charging. There will be no adverse affect on the battery.
Here are some Apple support articles on batteries and charging which you may find useful:

my macbook air won't turn on.. last night it was still working properly... when i woke up this morning, i went to turn it on but it didn't respond..i tried plugging the charger and the lightning cord showed a green light which is normal when charging..i tried to open the macbook air again but nothing happened.. no fans, no chimes, no light in the laptop showed..what should i do? please help..thank you
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A green light means that your battery is full or that it can't be detected. If you can't start up the Mac, probably your logic board or battery aren't working.
Take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery or logic board replaced. If the MacBook is in warranty, this repair will be free -
I can't turn on my MacBook Air despite trying to hold down the power button and using the SMC method. BTW my battery charger lights up to a green when plugged into the laptop.
Hello cass528,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Air would not power on. I recommend following the steps in this article when experiencing an issue like this:

Cleaned files and apps with "app cleaner" and now MacBook Air turns off during start up. What happens? What can I do? Please help
The "app cleaner" managed to do bad things to the file system so that it is unable to boot any longer.
This is the primary reason I always recommend that any of those so called "cleanup" apps never be used. They do more harm then good.
Try a safe boot by holding down the shifgr key when you hear the boot chime. Maybe that can fix the damage.
Let us know what happens.

Hi I would like to show a presentation written on my macbook air on my television what is the best way to connect the two ?
Much depends on the available connectivity of your television.
If it has HDMI input available, all you will need is a minidisplayport to HDMI adapter, and an HDMI cable long enough to place the Mac in the desired proximity to the TV. The adapter is avaialble from the Apple Store online.
Provided the HDMI input on the television supports sound, and the model of your MBA supports it as well, make suree that your adapter is also supportive of sound, otherwise you will need to run separate cabling from the headphone jack of the MBA to TV sound input or external speakers.
This is a somewhat specific answer to a question without any requisite detail. You don't indicate the model or type of inputs on your TV, nor do you indicate the model/generation of MBA you have. -

hey guys. my macbook air wont get past the screen with the apple on it during start up. how do i fix this? i have a paper saved on my laptop on need to get at it. thanks guy!
Your boot drive is damaged in some way. If you have an original installation disc, you can boot from that and run Disk Utility. From DU you can select your internal hard drive ("Macintosh HD" is the name Apple puts on it - you may have renamed yours) and select "Verify Disk". If errors come up, try "Repair Disk". If it repairs, then you should be able to restart and boot from it. If it doesn't show up or won't repair, your drive is probably hosed.

When my macbook is fully charged, does the charger switch the power supply off, or does it continue to 'charge'?
(If I leave my laptop to charge whilst I'm out and it reaches 'fully charged' but is still switched on, will this continue to 'charge' my laptop? Or will it destroy my batter over time?)When the charge cycle completes, the pilot light on the MagSafe connector changes from orange to green. At that point the battery will be kept in standby mode, and the computer will be kept running with electrical power from the charger. If you want to keep an eye of where the power is coming from, get the latest release of the Coconut Battery utility: http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.
