• 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.

• MacBook Air (2015) randomly freezes on me?

  My MacBook Air (2015) will freeze randomly on me unexpectedly. I noticed that it was mainly when I use Safari. Y at - it a bug in the computer or in Safari? All suggestions are welcome!

  The problem may be caused by a bug in OS X, triggered by "Flash Player."

  If Flash is installed and that you did not already, please update to the latest version by opening the Flash Player pane in system preferences and selecting the updates tab.

  If Flash is already up to date, or if the update does not resolve the problem, open Safari preferences window and select the Security tab uncheck the box marked

  Enable Plug-ins

  See if there is an improvement.

  You can watch videos on YouTube and other sites without using Flash by installing the extension "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin' Safari. This isn't an endorsement. You should always do your own research to determine the safety and effectiveness of any third-party software before using it.

• MacBook Air freezes randomly

  Hi all

  I had a problem with my Macbook Air early 2015 since nearly a month. I freeze random OS experience (I'm under OS X El Capitan 10.11.4): the cursor moves and the keyboard is unresponsive, so I can't do anything at all. The only thing I can do to "unlock", it requires the laptop to restart (by turning manually him off and then back on). This problem occurs more or less one or two times a week and I didn't notice a particular task or request that I am running that may cause the gel. Usually, it happens while I'm surfing the web with Safari, but not all the time.

  Any ideas or suggestions on how to solve the problem?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

• my macbook air stops every 5 meters.

  Please help solve this problem

  Thank you

  I found that one of our members here (John Galt) responded to a similar question in 2012.   He suggested to reset the SMC.

  * Shut down the computer.

  Plug the MagSafe power to a power supply adapter, plugging on the Mac if it is not already connected.

  On the built-in keyboard, press Command-Option-shift keys (left side) and the power at the same time button.

  Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.

  Press the power button to turn on the computer. Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change State or temporarily disable when you reset the SMC.

  I think a reset would be a good start.

• MacBook Air randomly fades everything down

  Yesterday my Macbook Air has randomly started dimming all the way down to the lowest setting.

  The screen is always on (I can barely make the content). If I hit the drive 'down' a couple of times I can then use the 'up' dimmer to return to normal brightness. However he then randomly will drop down to zero once again.

  I use a second monitor (as well as the use of the screen of my Macbook Air at the same time) and only the Macbook Air screen decreases intensity, the second screen maintains brightness and conviviality.

  Reset the SMC could solve the problem.

• 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.

  Please delete "Little Snitch" and see if the panic stop.

  Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

  Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

  I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

  Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

  Back up all data before making any changes.

  Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

  If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

  Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

• How many times should I stop my MacBook Air

  I have a MacBook Air (early 2014), with a processor i5 and 4 GB of RAM. It will be 2 years from November 2016. Summer's going hard for me for a while now and works very well without any problems. I use applications like Final Cut, Motion 5 and Xcode and I am satisfied with the performance of such a light machine.

  Apart from the information on my Mac, I have a question about proper use to optimize the performance and life of it. How many times have I stopped him? I use my Mac a day should I allow to sleep when I do not use as it has little effect on the battery and allows me to pick up where I left off. Should I only stopped when loading or is it okay to sleep by loading too? Should I stopped him every month or so or just during the software updates as I prefer to leave is majority of sleep of the time it won't have a long amount of time without me using it.

  Thank you.

  If you do not meet the pigs of RAM, there is really no reason to close it. If you don't see the warnings of memory, a simple reboot menu Apple fade issue.

• Sharing printers has stopped working for me. MacBook Air "think" printer is not connected.

  Sharing printers has stopped working for me. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R340 connected by USB to my Mac Mini end of 2012, and until recently, my MacBook Air has been able to print to it. Now, he 'thinks' the printer is not connected. Computers are on WiFi. Both computers have an OS X 10.11.5 now and the latest driver of Epson printer. Printer sharing is enabled in preferences, sharing, and "Share this printer on the network" is checked in the preferences, printers and Scanners. I went through the hoops to remove the printer and add it again on the Mini and the MacBook Air.

  Of course, the Mini prints very well via USB. Someone has an idea (that I have not already tried) how to get the sharing of printers to work again?

  Other sharing services work, such as the file and screen sharing?

• MacBook Air keeps stopping itself and gives a report of Panic CPU. Repair warranty or fixable?

  My MacBook Air keeps stopping itself, when he is asleep, or even using active? Some big long panic report arrives and I have no idea what all this means, what's wrong with it? She did this 4 or 5 times a week for 2 months now. I read here similar questions but do not understand the answers. It is almost always plugged in power, my 2 year warranty is updated until August 2016, 6 months ago, the motherboard has been replaced and told me that it looks like new. So what's happening? I need a repair under warranty again? I tried to copy and paste the report but I get a message saying that my question has invalid characters?

  Check if your MBA has had a kernel panic.  If so connect and confirm it with these instructions:
