My 2013 series MacBook Air hot and slow or freezes when I'm on Facebook or Tumblr. In addition, the battery begins to drain. Why?

Whenever I'm on Facebook or Tumblr, my MacBook freezes and runs hot and slow, eventually freezing. He also began to overheat, with maximum speed cooling fan and battery drainage. This only happens when I'm on these two sites since it rolls when they are not open. There is no problem in loading the computer or using other programs and Web sites.

These issues have started only very recently, in the last week or so. What is strange is that for a number of programs or open tabs does not seem to cause problems, but once I open Facebook or Tumblr, the computer becomes overloaded (even if there are no other programs running outside of Safari and they are only two tabs open). Even YouTube does not cause the same effect.

Help is very appreciated!

MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Hey there!

What browser do you use? I had some problems of my own with Tumblr, Google Chrome, and power draining eventually led me to dump Chrome when I realized it was hogging all my resources. I recommend also to configure tumblr to show you your dashboard in the pages of 10 to 15 positions rather than scroll without end - in this way, he does try to keep everything loaded at the same time.

You can also see your Mac activity monitor while you use these sites to get a better idea of how the power of the computer's processor and RAM are handling activity.

    It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Hello Jimmy10 66,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to follow your alerts, and I want to help you get your work again.

    Before we get too far, it's always a good idea to check that your 'secret' button just above your volume controls is not engaged. If you see that the yellow indicator go ahead and switch to the other position to turn it off.

    Alternatively, you can drag up from the bottom of the screen and make sure that the control of "do not disturb" is disabled.

    If those who are for the time off, go ahead and restart your phone and retest alerts. If the behaviour continues or if you encounter any problems, please reach out again and let the community know what other steps you have tried. The entire community is here to help.

    Best regards

  • 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.

  • Macbook Air trackpad and keyboard do not respond

    So, the trackpad and keyboard on my MacBook Air (13-inch mid-2013) died mid sentence the other day without discernible reason. No hits, no spill - just throw in the towel. I've had Macs fail before, but it is always due to a catastrophic incident of coffee or a drop of water. All other issues I've ever had, I was able to solve. I'm stumped on this one. Have not been able to find a solution here, so I thought I would post. (The first time poster, so apologies if I did badly.)

    I got a keyboard and a USB mouse and the machine still works perfectly. The only key that works on the built-in keyboard is the key to power. So I did the obvious things:

    -SMC reset

    -Reset the PRAM

    -Start

    Nothing.

    But then I tried a diagnostic test (restart while pressing D) and the trackpad and keyboard we are open! Diagnostic tests reported no problem, but then as soon as I connected from this screen... nothing new. But, as I said, with a USB keyboard/mouse, it works perfectly. I'm typing on it now. Also updated for OSX El Capitan 10.11.5, but there was no joy to be there either.

    So I took it to the Genius Bar and they told me, it would probably need a logic board replacement, but that seems not good not me since everything else works perfectly well. I'm running out of ideas, but I don't really want to leave still on it! Note that it is of course out of warranty too. If there is no simple solution, I am open to get inside.

    I would be recognizing any new thinking that the community might have. Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I'm sorry to say, all signs from your description point to a number of logic board. Without a guaranteed protection or apple, it will cost a little more. Unless you are ready to use a USB keyboard or wireless and a mouse, there is a hardware malfunction that prevents keyboard and mouse operation. Apple uses a program called a "MRI" (Mac resource Inspector) who determines whether a aspect any may be defective, and the Genius Bar has enough experience to say what the signs are pointing. I would like to trust them on this one, it is not just something on the side of software or firmware that you can do.

  • Flickering screen using Fusion 5.0.3 on no later than 2013 (Haswell) MacBook Air


    Hi all

    I just got one of the new air of MacBook Haswell-based and have installed the latest (5.0.3) on Fusion to run Windows 8 (x 86).

    It installed fine, but now I have a large dark area flicker on the lower part of the screen. Even if I run in windowed mode, flicker extends

    from the left edge to the right edge, but sound only half the screen height.

    I first thought the MacBook Air was faulty, but it only started when I tried to run Win8 molten.

    Also the flashing stops as soon as I switch to another Mac app and then comes back if I switch back to the merger, it certainly seems to be

    related to the merger.

    Everyone knows this?

    Thank you

  • Equium A100 getting hot and slow running

    Hello

    Please excuse me I'm new but I have a Toshiba A100 and lately his summer doing really hot and starts to run slowly.
    I was wondering if someone could help me solve this problem?

    Also when I look down I noticed that the small fan does not turn.

    Thank you

    Hello Theo and welcome on Toshiba forum

    Theo, the fact is that the material produces a lot of heat and all hardware components must be properly cooled. If this is not the case, the temperature of the material will be increasingly high. On some critical points, the laptop can turn off without any warning. This happens to avoid damaging the material.

    If placed on the bottom side cooling fan does not work, I guess that one reason for portable hot. I don't know if the warranty is still valid, but it must be checked by the service. If the cooling fan is defective it must be replaced with a new.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Why my MacBook Air only recognizes all other pages when I try to print pages?

    I have a MacBook Air. Recently, when I typed a letter page 6 pages and tried to print from files, print, it only showed that I had 3 pages, while in the Pages document, I got 6 pages. The computer would print only 3 pages on 6. I did have this problem in the past, most recently. I don't know what I can do about it. He seems not to recognize that all of the other pages. It is not my printer. That's what the MacBook Air shows when I select Print. Only 3 of the 6 pages, even pages shows all 6 pages.

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

    Be more specific.

    It show 3 successive pages or only odd or even?

    If it is the latter which is a parameter in the dialog box print which may be saved as a preset.

  • Thunderbird updated and now it freezes when opening SOLVED caused by Frontier

    Yesterday morning, I stopped getting emails on [email protected] and [email protected]. I could send emails but not receive and thunderbird could not save sent messages. It looks like somehow, became the pop3 and imap. I called the support of the border. I was told that I must have been lucky, it worked. He was no help. As we worked on the issue, I noticed an upgrade at 38 - whatever. Oh, he said that this is the problem. Well no, it wasn't. The message was server may be disconnected. I gathered my info and tried changing ports. Then, I got a message that fronier is a pop imap not. My plan was to remove the two accounts and again according to the instructions that I found. However, Thunderbird has decided to freeze and the tech has hung up. Not for lack of hiks. Nice, huh? Then, I ran in safe mode and removed all emails before early July. I was going to delete the account and build a new one for the emails of the border. My other email by another company works very well. I sent test emails to her to the border. He got them. Now, however; I can't even open Thunderbird. He immediately freezes and I have to hard start down. I didn't want to receive messages in safe mode, but I sent. It does not freeze in safe mode. I read some technical stuff on firefox, but I need help from 1/2/3. Not a techie. I can't even get the emails that may come in! I have no work email in Thunderbird currently due to the freeze. Do not you call?

    I think that I thought about it. It started with the border being disconnected. Is not not a geek, I've not yet thought why pop3 was gone. It seems that Frontier is not Imap and probably all that you know who is a bit outdated. Everyone except me. I worked on it for at least 2 days. I took out my emails of border and Thunderbird works perfectly again. It would not hold pop3 in all and for a good reason. I can repeat the survey I took? The disconnection of the border occurred while the border was in my computer. They blame you and I went with it. Hmmm. The old catch 22. Down the line as soon as possible to track the stats of em.

  • Satellite L300D begins only after the battery has been drained and recharged

    I have a satellite L300D that has a problem at startup. Last week, it closed but got stuck on the "Disconnect" screen for a long time. Finally I manually turn it off by holding down the power button. Don't think no more of him it happened sometimes with my computers. However, when I went to turn it back on - it was nothing. Power lights came to the front of the computer, but not to screen at all. Could not even access the BIOS. Nothing. It was like that for several days.

    Tried all the common solutions - removed battery, disconnect the power supply and press the power button - still nothing. Tried w/o - just AC, just the battery. Even stripped down to the motherboard to see if I could remove the CMOS battery and reset the CMOS but it is soldered on the motherboard. Put all back together, still nothing.

    Finally, I had to recharge my cell phone using a USB adapter and given that the computer had power I tried the usb port and it worked (for example, I could charge the phone - still no screen on the computer). The computer's battery is dead and I plugged it in. That evening, after the battery was full, I tried the computer and it has perfectly worked. Started correctly, shut it down, restarted and it was fine. Unplugged this night there and reconnected again in the morning and... nothing. Just a black screen. No BIOS.

    Killed the battery again then reloaded and now my computer is working again.

    Any ideas on what could cause this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion her only the only one you can is update the BIOS like Akuma suggested. This problem is not related software so that s the only option you have I think. You can download the latest version of the BIOS here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    If this is not the case, contact an authorized service provider please. Guys can fix all this hardware related problems can diagnose this problem. Maybe the motherboard or something else must be exchanged.

    Good luck! :)

Yet once, I downloaded and installed Adobe reader 11. the problem has resurfaced. then again, I've uninstalled adobe reader software and installed Adobe Reader version 10 with the same question back. I have now uninstalled Adobe Reader. Please advise on how to install a working copy Adobe reader which will not infect or impinge upon other programs in my laptop.
