MacBook Air 11 '' lag and overheating
MacBook Air (11 inch, early 2015)
Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Storage: 500 GB Flash
Mac OS X 10.11.2
I got this macbook air for a few months and quite a lot of 1 day that I had to deal with a boring case of keyboard lag. It doesn't matter what application I use. Story is always the same. Then in a few minutes (10-15) work (email, iMessage, browsing with safari (maybe 8 open tabs), pages or open Word) fan turns on and heat emanating from the back of this thing in pretty intense.
I tried to reduce the number of apps on my dock, reducing the number of tabs open in safari. No luck.
This is my second MacBook air. One who was a 2011 model had these questions and I had a lot more open about this most of the time.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time!

Do not leave the battery to fall below 10 percent, or you may not be able to recharge the battery once it falls to 0%. Never leave the computer on the charger. You need to use the battery from time to time in order to keep the electrons flowing and maintain a normal life.

2012 the MacBook Air running hot and slow
After about 20 minutes using my 2012 MacBook Air gets very hot and the cooling fan starts to operate at full speed. At the same time, it slows down considerably. Is this a sign that the battery must be replaced (anyone know the approximate cost to do this?)? However, I have no problem to recharge the battery and it seems to work for a reasonable period between charges.

21:9 (2560 x 1080) ultra wide screen Macbook Air does not work after macOS Sierra
I have a problem with my LG 29UM58.-p.
After the installation of macOS Sierra Switchresx (4.5.3) isn't my custom resolution 2560 x 1080 more. I already tried to uninstall Switchresx and took new custom resolutions, but it did not help... First of all, it did not save my custom resolutions and then he said no "installed" or "active - invalid? Also, someone said if you made an additional account on your mac and then define custom resolutions, you can then use it in your normal macaccount, but he also didn't work...
I tried (almost) everything... before the update of the software it was working fine. Oh and also I use HDMI to mini displayport.
Could someone help me out here?
Thank you very much!

Poor quality of its MacBook Air
Recently I noticed quality bad speaker on the left speaker on my MacBook Air 13.3 (early 2015).
The sound is like white noise whenever I play loud music on my computer but I can only hear it when the bass is low or the highs are high, for example, whenever listening to someone talking, "s" sounds are white noise.
I usually clean my computer (keyboard, trackpad, etc.) with a damp cloth. Water could go in the left speaker, and that's why he sounds bad?
In addition, my computer is a little crack. Could that also change the quality of the left speaker?
Hi edvardsoz!
I understand the only pregnant left your MacBook Air seems to have a problem with the sound quality. I can certainly understand wanting to have speakers of your MacBook Air works correctly, and I'm happy to help you. Please follow the instructions in the following article to reset your MacBook Air SMC and NVRAM. Insofar as a noise grinding, I don't think that would be related to problems of speaker, you may have. It may be best to have diagnosed in person, so I have included a link to help locate close to Apple stores and authorized service providers as well.

MacBook Air, iMac 24 inch connection
Hi guys,.
I have a MacBook Air c.2011 and my partner just to buy a version of 2016 - both running OS X Yosemite. I also have a 24 inch iMac c.2009 sitting on office desk at home (also in the Yosemite running). We want to be able to to connect/cradle our laptops on the iMac so we can use the larger screen as the computer of the reception, access to data and files on laptop computers.
After extensive online research, the only way I can see it working is - port thunderbolt out of Macbook to the Firewire 800 port on the iMac.
Problem is that I had trouble finding (a) a firewire cable in all good electronics stores because they are obsolete or (b) a port adapter male firewire/woman lighting.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Please read carefully use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode. You will see that the iMac is too old to use TDM. Sorry for the bad news. You can search for software solutions however performance is very poor.

iCloud not synchronized completely with MacBook Air
I'm running OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan on my MacBook Air (end 2013) and the iOS9.3.5 on my iPhone 5. Have also, incidentally, Apple Watch. Use iCloud for Notes, but could not get the Notes appear on my Mac. Signed Notes and back with Apple ID on the Mac, but the cursor just whirs around. Have the same Apple ID on all devices. All the other things iCloud on sync phone perfectly with Mac, calendar, e-mail etc. Have 200 notes or that I used to use it all the time on the Mac and the phone, so its really frustrating that I can't access it from the Mac.
Research in the system for software services log I see that sort of thing:

Do I need anti virus on my new macbook air
I'm a newbie when it comes to Macbooks, although I had an iPhone and an iPad for years. I bought my Macbook Air last week, and before that I've never used Windows. I'm in love and of course always get the hang of it all, but does have the anti-virus software on my nice new shiny Macbook?
I'm sorry if this is a really lame question, but information that I found are quite old and obsolete!
Thanks in advance
Hi loulour1982
Mac do not need anti-virus software.
OS X has all the protection you need built-in.

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

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.
