13 "mid 2012 macbook air affected by video artifacts, known problem?
My macbook air is randomly video defects showing, screwed to the top of some parts of the screen, seems to be at the start, not so good once it heats up. It happens on the desktop, foxfire or in video games, that has happened before and after the update to el capitan. Sometimes the sections of the flash screen. Is this a known fault? is there maybe some some campaign to provide a repair? of course, my 3 years protection plan apple just expired
I'm not aware of any program by Apple about the graphic problems with MBA.
You can connect a monitor on the MBA and which could indicate if there is a problem of connecting GPU or display/display.
An Apple Hardware Test could provide a clue:
https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note that AHT free error is not conclusive.
The best option will be a date at a bar in engineering of Apple for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.

Mid-2012, MacBook Air of random stop
I tried to find a solution to more than a year. My MacBook air has been cutting randomly without warning.
At first I thought it was overheating, so I installed Mac Fan Control and cranked up the fans, but it always stops around 60-70 ° C temperature of CPU, which should be good. The first three years, I owned the computer I never had a single problem and the fan never accelerated where she was audible 2 times.
The error code in the log files is Cause of previous stop - 2, which I can't find a description of anywhere.
I took the computer to the Genius Bar for a verification of the material, but the computer turns off as soon as they are trying to run the test. They wanted to change the logic board for $600 + then I said that I think about it.
If anyone has experienced this? I can find no solution confirmed online and don't know if I have to replace the logic board or card IO first. When he died, it's like it lost power. Immediately turns off. It will not restart for at least 20 seconds, and if I turn on for a few minutes it turns off again before moving on to the screen. However, it will work perfectly sometimes for up to an hour or two.
The computer was pampered life whole and never dropped or spilled on. Looking inside, it looks fine, but tbh I don't know what I would look for.
If anyone has any ideas at all, I'd like to hear them. It's a mid 2012 Air i5 with 4 GB of RAM.
EDIT: Also, I did the resets of SCM, this does not solve the problem.
How the MBA does not work when you start mode safe?

Mid 2012 Macbook Pro with or without retinal incredibly slow
Hello, I'm typing this for my mother. It has a mid-2012 Macbook pro without the retina which is very slow. She has recently updated to 16 GB of ram, and we are all pretty sure she did her properly.

DDR3 DDR3L vs for mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch
On crucial.com, I chose my system I, mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15 inches. I want to move to 8 GB of ram, but I want to know if their DDR3L will work. On their site it says DDR3 is 1.35 volts and the DDR3L is 1.35 volts as well. They are both the same speed, 1600. What is the difference between the two and the DDR3L will work? My current ram is DDR3 4 GB and the speed is 1600. Thank you.
DDR3:
CT4999407 http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/MacBook-Pro-%2813-inch-and-15-inch%2C-Mid-2012%29/
DDR3L:
CT3373649 http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/MacBook-Pro-%2813-inch-and-15-inch%2C-Mid-2012%29/
On the site of crucial, characteristics of RAM that you have access to:
"Standard DDR3 modules help Mac systems reached speeds up to 1600 MT/s.. For new systems, Mac, DDR3L modules are available. These modules offer speeds from 1866 MT/s and use 10% less energy to improve energy efficiency. "

I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5. Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?
This was after the 3 beep error and I couldn't restart the Mac with one of the 2 GB of Ram into the lower slot.
Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?
Thank you

Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease. A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.
Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?
Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty. If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty. Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot. If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

A few months ago, I tried to install Linux as a dual boot and had to wipe my drive but have not had any problems in the meantime. I currently have a Boot Camp Windows 10 partition, but it was installed some time ago. This could be my problem or is this something tied to the side Mac?
Thanks for any help you have to offer!
Remove the Wacom software, it is a known problem in 10.11.5
Also check all Wacom is removed from Log-in Items(use the) Sys Preferences > users and groups > login items
If Wacom tablet etc. is vital for your workflow — after remove you and test your machine - try to download the most updated the driver from Wacom.

Mid-2012, Macbook Pro 13 inch corrupt partition map
I was connect my external hard drive that works 24 Fedora quite frequently beyond a few days. I use the option key during the startup key to choose the operating system. So now my OS X El Capitan only lights because of a partition error. I fixed that with the recovery of the internet, but I am 100% sure that this issue will come soon. Is there any solution for this? What is the cause of this problem?
MacBook Pro 13 "to mid-2012 Specs:
OS: El Capitan 10.11.6
CPU: i5 2.5 GHz
Storage: 500 GB HARD drive
Memory: 16 GB (Max update for this model indicated by Apple's 8GB but 3rd third party provider what OWC makes a 16 GB customized for this particular model)
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Is there any solution for this?
Yes, a replacement hard drive. They are not terribly expensive and replacement is simple.
What is the cause of this problem?
Contamination, mechanical damage, age... one of these factors.

Why can't I update my mid-2011 Macbook Air at El Capitan?
I find that I am short of problems with the performance because I'm unable to update things like Safari because the latest version is not compatible with my operating system. Is it possible to upgrade my Macbook Air on OS X 10.7.5 mid-2011?
Yes, it is possible.
You can install OS X El Capitan 10.11.

Mid-2012, MacBook Pro 15 '' (retina) crashes "
Just my mid-2012, the Mac Book Pro has started planting without rhyme or reason. I have to press the power button until the lights on the keyboard turns off and then turn it back again. I get the notice to press any button or wait a few seconds for the reboot to start. Apple logo light up and sometimes half way through and crashes again, sometimes it restarts successfully. Then it crashes again. I read other posts related to GPU and solder issues, such as a hardware problem that Apple will not acknowledge receipt. No idea how to fix it?

Do not start (El Capitan, mid 2012 Macbook Pro)
Hi all!
I'm having serious problems with my Unibody Macbook Pro mid 2012 since a few days ago.
On Sunday, all of a sudden the computer really slow and G.Chrome used a lot of CPU, so I rebooted the machine, but on reboot, I couldn't get the operating system to start. I kept getting a white screen with the circle-slash (prohibitory sign) and a file of o Apple logo with the question mark that would Flash briefly before returning to the slash of circle.
After leaving the computer alone for half an hour, it starts without a problem. I rebooted again to see if the problem disappeared, but he returned to the circle-slash. I tried the resets of LANDAU and SMC but no result. I couldn't enter Recovery Mode (via CMD + R, because he just left me a white screen). I got the computer to reboot again and ran first aid to disk on the disk and partition utility and I got a message that says that there is only a problem with the map of partition with could prevent from starting.
So, I downloaded El Capitan on the App store, is an installation of the flash player program, reformatted the whole drive and reinstalled the operating system but I always get the slash circle approximately 85% of the time and cannot set the Mode of recovery without the flash player. Also, I can't access Single User Mode (CMD + S) I get an error that says something about a problem loading the kernel cache.
In summary: when the operating system loads (15% of the time), it works well; but can not access the Recovery Mode in single user Mode.
What are my options?
Here are the instructions from Apple for your splash screen:
Your HARD drive may also be suspect or the connection with it. Try to access the Internet, OPTION-COMMAND-R recovery on startup. Then run disk utility > first aid.
Ciao.

RAM upgrade for mid-2012 MacBook Pro question?
So, I bought some RAM Corsair (2 x 8 GB) to install in my MacBook Pro for mid-2012. It has been well over a month now and I get freezes and flaws that were not there when the Apple RAM stock has already been installed. My question is... are it freezes and the seeds one result of the brand of RAM I have installed (Corsair) or the fact that I am superior to the amount of 8 GB of RAM recommended for this laptop of Apple to the particular address?
Thank you.
As you can see here, your MBP can, indeed, support for 16 GB of RAM. However, DIMMs must meet Apple specifications which are often much more demanding that really meant DIMMS for PC can meet. One of the advantages of buying from OWC (in the link) is that they provide 100% support so their products need to be designed with the Mac in mind. If you have no problem with DIMM Apple, but you do with Corsair DIMMS, I would say getting them replaced or, better yet, to get a refund.
