• MacBook Air mid 2012 - SSD failure but now normal work?

  I have a macbook air mid-2012, it worked very well but had no veen used for about 2 months. I had installed osx el capitan and the car was completely empty except for the new facility. I start the computer normally, but after I tried to launch safari, computer froze and the screen went black, but the mouse was still there. I turn off the cpu using the power button, but when I rebooted I had the flashing icon. I tried to boot into recovery mode, wouldn't work not and went straight to the restoration of the internet. Using the internet recovery mode I tried to go and repair the hard drive, but it was not visible, I tried to install a new copy of Mac OS x, but it wasn't visible to install with HDD. I took the macbook air to an authorized repair center and the macbook started showing a circle with a bar slash through it like a Tux no sign, no flashing icon of the folder. They ran diagnostics and told that the DSS did not. The price of replacemwnt was more that the laptop was worth (almost $700)

  I went home upset, but now this morning I correct start-up of the laptop and he gave me a sign of Apple with a gray loading bar theb started normal. I weaves in disk utility to perform the audit of diagnosis on the ssd and it came back as everything was ok.

  What could happen? Why it quit working but now work ok? I need to give this phone a friend for a gift but cannot do so if the ssd will soon Miss. Should I jist cough a little money and get a replacement hard drive and install it myself because this ssd is going bad? Its a 256 GB ssd and it kills me...

  Thank you!

  It's only a guess, but there may be a connection that is defective and sometimes disconnect the SSD drive.

• How can I connect two screens for MacBook Air (mid-2012)

  I have a macbook air (mid-2012) which, according to apple, can support two external displays.  I have an external display connected to the thunderbolt port, but may not know how to connect to the other?  The mac has only a thunderbolt port?  It has two usb ports.  Is there a thunderbolt display port separator that works with this Apple?  When I look on amazon I see some who make the separation, but they say that they do not work with the Mac?  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

  You can daisy chain a thunderbolt cable from the first screen to a second screen to support both with port of a sudden lightning. Reported here.

• MacBook Air wouldn't startup after starting get disk error

  I was getting full boot disk error on my Macbook Air 2012 model a few times, and then it stopped starting (folder flashing with question mark began to appear). I followed the instructions on this site If flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support

  but failed to copy data from the drive on an external hard disk. I could see my boot (MacintoshHD) on the disc utilities drive, but could the volume seems to be not mounted.  The size of the disk is 128 GB and only 12 MB seems to be free.

  1 has started the macbook in recovery mode. In disk utility, run check disk and repair utilities disk for the startup disk (MacintoshHD). No problems in the generated logs. The volume is not mounted and is dimmed.

  2 selected MacintoshHD and tried to unlock it. The system tried for a while, and the password window disappeared after some time with the MacintoshHD via disk utility.  When I restart the machine again in recovery, disk MacintoshHD reappears in the same situation.

  3. I was able to start the macbook after installing a new version of OS X in an external hard drive. During the installation of OS X, I couldn't copy the data from the volume MacintoshHD (possibly the drive is locked).

  4. I could not start my macbook in safe mode.

  My query is-

  1. I had not backed up my data by any means. What are my current options to copy my data MacintoshHD?

  2. because the MacintoshHD is locked and attempts to unlock it had no disk utility, it will help if I start my macbook target disk mode, connect to another mac via a thunderbolt cable and try to copy data?

  3. What are my options now to restore my macbook? Clear my boot drive (MacintoshHD) and reinstall OS X?

  Thank you

  Please read OS X: when spontaneously, your computer restarts or displays 'your computer restarted because of a problem'.

  The section "isolate hardware or software as the cause of the problem", starting with step 3, would be very beneficial to the advancement of troubleshooting.

  Determine if you can start up your Mac in 'safe' mode: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up.

• MacBook Air receive not of software up to date.

  My MacBook Air, mid-2012, 1.8 Ghz, 256 GB, stopped to receive or read updates from the Mac App Store.

  I am currently on OSX 10.11.4 but don't get 10.11.6 updates

  Other updates such as those for iTunes seem to be installed well (iTunes 12.4.2).

  It happened once before when I was on 10.11.2, with 10.11.2, I installed 10.11.4 using a combo update from the support page, hoping it might solve the problem, but apparently not. If I can't get the updates through the App Store, I will use the support download page, however, I would like to regain the ability auto-updated as I might miss updates of security, for example, I didn't know it have been updated due to the recently discovered vulnerability of "Stagefright-like".

  I am connected to the Mac App Store with a valid Apple ID.

• MacBook air trackpad crazy acting

  Hi all

  the trackpad on my macbook air has been acting and acting very erratically, starting a couple of weeks and only gradually getting worse/more irritating. There are periods where it works completely fine, but less so. Basically, even with light touches and not a double-click, the trackpad selects as he wants, clicks and double-clicks on even with light movements and clicks when I'm not touch in a way that he should take this action. I reset the laptop, I fixed the disc and I am at a loss for what could be wrong. the keyboard works fine, everything works fine. It was not any spill or weird damage to material which could explain this. I checked the settings of the mouse and trackpad and everything I had put in place to be. It's become really difficult to use the mouse without undesired shutdown of windows, select and then delete text, etc.

  I use a macbook air from 2012 and yosemite 10.10.1

  are there troubleshooting tasks or resets system I can try to help with this? all solutions? I thought I could just buy a mouse external bluetooth or something and just disable the use of the trackpad completely, but I wanted to see if there could be something else to do before that.

  Thank you!

  Try the reset SMC

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

  Also, it looks like the trackpad is triggered at all? What happened on the back side of the lower case? If the battery is expanding or goes wrong, it could put pressure on the lower part of the trackpad, causing it to act strange.

  You can check the status of your battery by clicking  > about this Mac > system report > food

  Only other thing I can think is a dirty trackpad. If you use the lotion regularly, this can make the trackpad go wobbly. Make sure it is clean.

• Windows 8.1 will stop when it is plugged in MacBook Air

  MacBook Air (mid-2012) the wife has been running Windows 8.1 in Bootcamp without problems. But this morning, it wouldn't start up. It starts to load and then goes to a black screen. We tried all sorts of troubleshooting and then made a surprising discovery. Unplug the laptop and Windows works fine. Plug it in again and the screen goes black. I think that this Mr MacBook running Mavericks or, possibly, a first version of Yosemite.

  If you mean when it happens AC it stops working so I make a backup of the data and reinstall windows and restore the backup

• MacBook Air Flash storage problem

  So I just got a Macbook air mid 2012. It has 128 GB flash storage whilst running the latest Mac OS X Version 10.11.1 and the problem is that it is either showing wrong info or a lot of storage was taken over by something unknown. Apps took more than 50 GB of space even if there is no all the apps that are heavier than Microsoft Word and Excel. Acquired photos 8 GB and 4 GB audio which is totally false because there is not any music in there still. Please guide me in solving this problem.

  For more information about the other category in the view of storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.

  Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

  ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

  In pictures:

  ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

  Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

  According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 8 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

  When Time Machine backs up a Mac laptop, some free space will be used to make a snapshots the, who are backups of deleted files recently. The space occupied by the local snapshots is declared as available by the Finder and should be considered as such. In the view of storage of the information system, snapshots appear them as backups. The snapshots are deleted automatically when they expire or when free space becomes less than a certain level. You don't need to usually and should not, remove snapshots them yourself. If you have followed the bad advice to disable snapshots the running a shell command, you may have ended up with a large amount of data in the other category. Ask for instructions in this case.

  See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

  You can use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that CESO works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you use an older version of the OS, use GP.

  Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

  Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

  ODS or GP can not see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

  Back up all the data now.

  Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

  Triple-click anywhere in the row of the text below on this page to select it, and then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  For ODS:

  security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

  For PMS:

  security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

  The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

  I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

  When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.
