  • 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 new Macbook Air freezes often

    Hi, I bought this new 13 "macbook air with 8 GB of RAM a week ago, and it freezes about every 2 days (usually when I use Safari).

    Why does this happen? What can I do?

    It's OSX version 10.11.4

    To be exact, it freezes on the screen, but on which the mouse and keyboard (even the little light on the "caps lock" is not responding)

  • MacBook Air freezes

    Initially 2015 11 inch Macbook Air 128 GB i5 freezes every now and then. When it freezes, I can not move the mouse or anything like that and I see no beachball. Anyone know what could be the problem?

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please launch the Console application 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.

    Step 1

    For this step, the title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

    In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes).

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now, clear the search box to display all messages. Select those recorded before starting, during the time that something unusual was happening. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    For example, if the system is unresponsive or unable to stop for three minutes before you forced a reboot, post the timestamped messages within three minutes before the start time, not after. Please include the message BOOT_TIME at the end of the extract from newspaper - not at the beginning.

    If there is a long series of messages, please post only one example of each. Do not post of many repetitions of the same message.

    When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

    Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

    Step 2

    In the Console window, select

    DIAGNOSIS AND diagnostic USE information reports ▹ System

    (not diagnose them and use Messages) in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu bar.

    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points downwards. You will see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the process crashed and ends with ".crash". A report of panic has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends with ".panic." A report of stall stop has a name ending with ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The content of the report is displayed at right. Allows you to copy and paste to validate all of the content, text, not a screenshot. It is possible that none of these reports exist.

    I know that the report is long, perhaps several hundred lines. Please report all this anyway.

    If you don't see any report, but you know, there was a crash or panic, you can have selected diagnostic and using the list of Log Messages. INFORMATION on the USE of DIAGNOSTIC AND choose instead.

    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you change the UUID ' anonymous, ' a long string of letters, numbers and dashes in the header of the report, if it is present (it cannot be). "

    Please do not post other types of diagnostic report - they are very long and rarely useful.

    When you post the journal excerpt or the accident report, you might see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

  • Why my new macbook air does not freeze when watching videos on Youtube?

    I bought the Macbook Air a few weeks ago and all I have installed MS office and nothing else.

    The problem is when I watch videos on Youtube, the macbook freezes for more than 20 minutes. (I always have to stop it at this point or an earlier version so I don't know if the screen release after 20 minutes)

    So in this case once or twice a day since the day I bought the macbook and since it was put in place in the store, I think that there is no problem with the installer.

    I bought it with the macbook from my sister who is of the same model and same cpu, ram etc and the same thing happened to my sister, but her macbook stopped doing this after a few days.

    Can someone give me some solutions to this problem?

    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.

    You use 3.82 GB to 4 GB of your memory. Something is to take all this memory, causing your computer slow down and eventually freeze. To see which uses the most memory, open the activity monitor by searching for it in the spotlight. Select the memory tab, and then click memory for sorting by the user higher at the lowest. What is at the top should not be more than 600 unless you use some videos crazy editing/rendering programs. You can 'leave' a process of this window if it takes a lot of memory. If you leave something, you will lose everything you were doing in the process (e.g. Word, Safari, etc...) Google Chrome is one of the largest memory there suckers. I don't know if you're using Chrome or not, but I give you just a heads up.

    If you see multiple instances of Adware, remove them.

    By default, there is nothing in the files of demons of the Agents/launch of launch system, so you can remove these items without damaging the computer. If you have an application that requires files to be placed in one of these files, it will add it in the folder. If you decide to remove items from these folders, what I would do myself, you will have to restart the computer to empty the trash.

    With regard to the login items, this launch when your username is connected. This means that it starts running as soon as you connect to your user account. Things like Spotify can use a lot of memory, even if you do not use it. If you don't want Spotify to open when you turn on your computer and connect, open system preferences > users and groups > Login Items > select the ones that you don't want and click on the. This does not remove it from your computer, just prevents it to launch at startup upward.

    Finally, there are user Agents throw that you probably shouldn't, particularly those associated with Mac cleaners and torrents. Again, you can delete everything in this folder safely. I suggest you to remove clean my Mac if it is in your Applications folder. Mac do not need antivirus software and most of the "free" antivirus software will tell you there are viruses even when there aren't any. They want you to think that get infected if you buy their product to "clean" what was never there.

    Good luck

    (PS. The Etrecheck shows your excellent performance, so that your hardware is probably good).

  • New macbook air keeps freezing?

    I got this new macbook for almost 3 weeks now, but I'm starting to worry about how it keeps freezing: it first happened a few days ago and still today.

    I had a lot of windows open whenever (music, videos paused, some research, some word documents) - most of them is necessary. What is the reason for which the screen keeps freezing? However, I don't expect the new system to be crashing so easily.

    It is better to contact Apple to the title of the one year warranty is?

    The macbook air is 8 GB of RAM, 256 SSD flash drive.

    You have one year warranty including free telephone support for 90 days. I suggest that you use. You can make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. You can also search an Apple Store - find a store - Apple.

  • 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.

  • Video of the MacBook Air to accuse by unplugged (current running off battery)

    Hello. I have a Macbook Air from 2012. The Macbook works perfectly fine when it is plugged, but the minute I unplug the unit, some video that I might be streaming suddenly freezes, even if sometimes the audio is not yet. Weird. The battery works, even if it runs in less than an hour. It has a cycle of 657 counter. The battery health is diagnosed as being 'good '. Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Thank you.

    Apparently, the MacBook Air is electric rationing of the battery through the

    all of the GPU, CPU, free wireless internet, open, applications and requirements

    Mac OS x itself; so many invisible things are underway in the background.

    Have you looked into the specifications of profile of electrical system and battery

    where the status of the battery is spelled in milli-ampere-hour charge remaining

    and expected full load capacity?

    I imagine that the battery can be replaced; also if SSD drive

    is full of stored content, the effort it takes the system to find the space

    for swap files and read/write then in the storage disk, is your MB/Air tax.

    Maybe an upgrade of the hard drive (SSD) ability is something to check

    in (if it is possible to upgrade) or just be sure to not have much stored on board.

    A replacement may be obtained from the macsales, OWC, among others.

    Also make sure that the MagSafe connectors are clean and free of debris on both sides

    the AC adapter and the DC-in Board (on the computer).

    For more information on batteries for portable laptops, & magsafe Chargers:

    • About batteries for laptops Mac - Apple Support

    • Laptops Apple: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters - Apple Support

    If yours is a model 11 inches, total expected her battery life cycles are less

    as the largest 13-inch model (with the largest capacity of the battery + request) if the

    County of 657 (of max. 1 000) can be decreased if the computer has never been

    Let it run until the battery is dead. ~ Or if the storage environmental conditions or

    use, have marginalized the ability of the computer to function in the plug.

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

    • How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

    The SMC reset (and sometimes reset NVRAM) can help with the battery power

    management in general; but the battery may be suspect. The battery charge

    includes everything in the MacBook Air; brightness, audio volume, so the screen

    the use of Wi - Fi, other applications that run in the background; also the antivirus or other

    analysis software running needlessly in the background, using cycles CPU. The

    battery may be getting a workout. More so, if you run games or any other active content.

    You could look at the activity monitor to check the different points under your control

    who may be using resources; all this that consume energy are suspect. Some of them are

    more in your control than others. the system manages several outside of your access.

    An Etrecheck report generated when the unit is running under the battery and another

    When operating on current alternative, can be useful. If nothing else, to see what is

    installed in the computer and its running configuration specifications. The load can tell a story.

  • MacBook Air incredibly slow

    My MacBook Air has recently become extremely slow with text behind my typing, windows taking ages to open and freezing programs regularly. It seems even affect my internet speed but I don't know if it's possible? Chrome now takes some time to load the sites, and even Google takes a little longer to suggest research or results.

    The mac is old enough (2010 with a new logic board and the screen in 2011) and the battery life is quite short, but I need it to last about 10 months. It's slow when I use it without the charger and slower when its battery is low: it is more likely to operate normally when charging but still more often sluggish. Last week, the disk was almost full, so I deleted about 25 GB of files. I'm now 27GB to 120 GB free and he seems not to have made a difference in the speed of market - I intend to have a more thorough sort on my files in a few weeks but it is frustratingly slow at times, the prospect of a day which is not a good time!

    I've tempted by the promises made CleanMyMac but was dissuaded by some threads here - someone has any suggestions, please?

  • My MacBook Air keeps the re-opening of the minimized programs.

    I'll be in the middle of using it when it freezes for a second, then open all programs that I had previously kept to a minimum.  Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Welcome to Apple Support communities, AWCarter!

    It seems that you are having problems with your MacBook Air on iOS 10.10.5 gel, then opening all the applications that you have reduced. I would find it distracting me then I'll be happy to help you! Be sure to test the issue after each step.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not start -even if the start up your Mac, safe mode will ensure it starts successfully.

    How test a question to another user on your Mac account - sounds strangely issue to a software problem. This procedure will determine if it is across your system or only related to your user account.

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - before going any further, I always recommend a new backup at this stage. It is always better "to have" a backup for a backup "need."

    On OS X Recovery - if the problem happen in the user you set up previously, start up your Mac in OS X Recovery and reinstall the operating system.

    Take care!
