Hinge MacBook Air moving

My early 2015, 13 "MacBook Air hinge / black plastic to the bottom of the screen line moves freely for a good millimetre. is that what I should be concerned or is this something that happens with all mac models? Please tell me if this is normal or not as soon as possible

I have the same with my retina 15 ". I don't think it's embarrassing, but if you feel different about it, take it to the genius bar and see what they think about it.

See you soon!

  • MacBook Air cover / hinge issues

    My MacBook Air early 2015 cover/screen seems to be loose, it's because of my mossiso rubberized hard case or my mac damaged, also when I touch the black plastic that controls the screen, it seems that there is some movement. is my loose hinge / damaged. I can't go to the apple store because the closest is 3-4 hours away, I want to know it's because of the case or if the hinge is damaged?

    I'm not sure that anyone would be able to diagnose that without really seeing. If you don't have an Apple Store nearby (I have not) there may be an Apple authorized Service provider, that is. You can use the following to locate: https://locate.apple.com/country

  • 2015 MacBook Air SSD adapter

    I'm working on an Air of MacBook 2015 for a customer.  The user spilled liquid on the keyboard, and now it does not start.  They took for a genius, whose repair estimate was high enough that they decided to buy a new MBP instead.  I restored their data from a backup and they are in good shape now, but now I want to wipe SSD of the MBA to keep their personal data to end up in the wrong hands.  Two days later and I still can't find an adapter that will allow me to access the drive on another Mac (I don't have an another MBA from 2015 to use).  Any of you know where I can find an adapter to do so, in order to connect to it and wipe it off?  Here are the specs:

    MacBook Air Core i5 - early 2015

    Model #: A1466 (EMC 2925)

    256 GB SSD (Samsung model #: MZ-JPV256R/0 has 2)

    The SSD has a 16 + configuration 12 pins on one side and a configuration pins 11 + 14 on the other.

    Link for reference: http://www.memory4less.com/samsung-ssd-mz-jpv256r-0a2

    I know Macs is very much a moving target because they always change their configurations, but this model came out a few years, and I'm a little surprised that I can't find any SATA or USB adapter for it.  Any ideas how I can erase the disc without physically assault would be greatly appreciated.

    OWC can have a speaker or you can find them on Amazon. Depends on what the SSD card is exactly in the computer. Some Apple computers do not use the standard pinout that Samsung and other manufacturers use to commercial cards, instead they use those who are owners. However, if the card has been damaged then it will be useless.

    Standard PCIe SSD cards have only a pinout on the map, not two, as you can see in the link you provided.

  • IntelHD chips in MacBook Air start just less efficient?

    So I have a Core i5 MBA. 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, and it is probably the strangest machine I've ever owned.

    Speakers just didn't work at all until yesterday when like magic, it started working, which - as a technician 16 - who actually me mystified but little matter... audio works now, so I do not take it any further.

    The problem, for that I'm here, it's that it's all around slow. Moving in the dock, the magnification is extremely agitated, scrolling is jerky, move the mouse happens to a framerate so poor that I'd swear I was on an old Compaq to 20 year.

    To tell the experience that I have-it feels like any Windows machine would be if it was freshly restored without the graphics drivers... except on a Windows machine, I can just track down the hardware of the device ID, find the graphics driver and everything is smooth again... but I'm not too well versed in the language of Macish. What I did the research, the graphics for my Intel HD3000 machine driver is bundled with updates so that it seems that I must rely on kext tools at the terminal to * maybe * trigger my graphic extension.

    None of this seems lead me anywhere I tried internet replicated several times, followed with every update available 10.7 has access to... and evidence of pages of search results at least 15 of things without success. Everything that happens seems also my brick machine, if I try to upgrade to El Capitan on the App Store. Tested the SSD to see if this might be the culprit, checked everything very well. I think that the integrated gfx would mean that if my gfx card was dead, I wouldn't be able to pass material Diagnostics (or even put on with success).

    Only thing I have not tried until now becomes the DMG for ElCapitan and create a bootable disc see if the last just quick MacOSX solves everything (that I'll do tonight).

    If that gets me nowhere... What could be the problem?

  • Small vibrations cause damage to Macbook Air?

    MacBook Air 13 "early 2015. When I work on my mac on different tables, a small movement can cause a small table vibration that makes Macbook screen, shake (very little, but when even he shakes). It is not very noticeable, but I was wondering if these vibrations can damage the hinges of the Macbook and affect the ability to hold the screen in the future. I also noticed that the Macbook Pro hinges are more difficult, than Air (probably due to the fineness of the Air).

    Any movement causes stress and eventually lead to the failure of the given element.  It's a question of degree and frequency.  According to your description. continue to use your MBA and ignore this issue.  It is to small to worry.

    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.

  • Help! My Macbook Air has a high memory pressure.

    Product: Macbook Air in early 2015

    Plug-

    256 GB of flash storage

    1.6 GHz processor

    4 GB memory

    OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10.5

    A few weeks memory of my Macbook Air pressure continued to increase, most of the time he was in the green zone, but it has been several times that I had the pressure of memory to be in the yellow box with a few tabs in Google Chrome. In addition, the Kernel_Task continues to rise as it was around 380-390 MB a few weeks ago and now he's moved more than 500 MB. I tried to restart and stop the computer several times as an attempt to decrease the Kernel_Task and even thought that the memory pressure is high, the CPU doesn't have a lot of problems, because it is essentially inactive between 65 and 80 percent.

    What it looks like without all the eleven (shown) Google Chrome processes running? You should never see Swap used, and that tells me that you are using too many applications for your 4 GB memory available on your machine. With this RAM limited, you have to be very selective of what applications and browser tabs are open (you use) quit everything.

  • MacBook air 13 inch 2014 i5 4 GB ram extreme of heating is safe?

    Okay so here's the deal I started to play games on my macbook air call of duty mw2 and assassins creed brotherhood/ac1. But as soon as I start playing games it starts to heat up like crazy! like seriously sure can't touch even this side of my laptop when its hot s near the hinges under it, and on the upper left side!

    So it's good for me to continue using it as playing games please help it will not harm my battery or sth something?

    I even updated to the new operating system OS x capitan

    PS Sorry for the bad English

    It is normal for the computer to heat to the top/fans run all playing intensive computer games, but it is not hot enough to burn you.

    If you fear that the computer gets too hot, you can take the device to an Apple Store and have them run a diagnostic equipment.

    My computer gets hot enough while playing the games as well, but I just do not touch the hot parts. Make sure that you are in a well ventilated area. Also never play games or use the computer on your lap/bed/pillow/etc.. as they could block the ventilation on the computer areas.

  • can't manual control zone schedule macbook air

    I have a Macbook Air with El Capitan 10.11.4 - I'm UNABLE to manually control zones. The time zone setting has "automatically detect zones" checked and it won't let me uncheck. " Anyone know how I can uncheck this? I operate in multiple time zones and have my Mac change on me is very confusing (just today a meeting was moving 5 hours - the exact time difference between the United Kingdom and new YORK, and here I am at 5 o'clock in the morning meeting).

    Thanks for the tips!

    When you say that you can't uncheck, do you mean because it is grayed out? If so, click on the padlock at the bottom of the window to activate the change.

  • MacBook Air and Macbook Pro for a country with a moderate speed internet

    Hello.

    Please can anyone provide me suggestions on what kind of Macbook (preferably between the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro) to buy? I will be moving to Nigeria and will love a stylish laptop that I can use when there is a poor network.

    Thank you.

    The two manage networks in the same way... slow food makes slow refresh, fast food done fast refresh.

    My concern would be supported in Nigeria.  New units of the retina are sealed and cannot be repaired easily, and if you perform self-service you cancel the warranty Apple Stores years FSAA (Apple authorized service providers) are your best source of support.

    Keep several good backups in case of failure, as although Macs are reliable, the bad parts pass through.  There are also thieves in all regions of the world who love bright shiny Macs.

  • I have a new macbook air, how can I sync it to my current macbook pro?

    Hi forum, I'm sure this question has been asked several times.  However, when I did a search I could not find an answer.

    In any case, I have a new macbook air I bought for travel purposes.  At first, I didn't want to sync it with my macbook existing pro... now, I think it was a bad decision.  And... I can't understand how to "marry" the two.  I would like to use the macbook pro as my 'home' or ' base' machine.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thank you

    edevinco

    You can sync things like photos, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, etc. through the settings in the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.

    If you have any documents, you do not want to be on both machines and synchronized you can do this by turning on iCloud drive in this same window of preferences and before moving the documents in iCloud drive folder. A way convenient to make this file accessible is to go in the preferences from the Finder, click on sidebar at the top of the Preferences of the Finder window and put a checkmark in front of iCloud drive in the Favorites section of this window.

  • How to move files on external hard drive for Macbook Air (El Capitan)

    Hello.

    I bought a new macbook air last week. I've been moving files from my old laptop via my hard drive (my ultra 1 TB WD Passport). I was able to move the correct files on the drive, but now I want to move photos and videos to my Macbook, but it won't allow me. It shows a circle of gray with a line through it, when I try to drag the file on the disk. Photos and videos are in the documents in the finder not in the photo library, I don't know if that makes a difference.

    Any help will be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ann

    How did the external drive connected to the MBA? I guess that via USB? The freestanding photos/videos or are they in iPhoto or Photos?
