• 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.

• 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:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201753

  It can be a clue to your problem.

  Ciao.

• My macbook air keeps overheating also theres crumbs under key could someone clean it up?

  Hey, I have a few questions? My macbook air keeps overheating and the fan keeps making a sound of overheating, and it will not stop (I downloaded an application that controls the fan and also cool that it can get custody and it helps as long as he can but not much). Also theres crumbs and dirt under my keys could someone fix/clean? How much cost these (separately)? And how long would it take? Thank you

  On the issue of heat, try a SMC reset:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201295

  If no success, run an Apple Hardware Test:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201257

  Note that an error free AHT is inconclusive.

  about the "crumbs", use a fine brush in concert with little compressed air to dislodge.  It can also be a good idea to open the MBA and inspect the inside of the foreign body.

  Ciao.

• My macbook air keeps building a list of swap file 1.1 GB of files that I have to remove... .because my hd gets stuck. How to stop and cause? Please

  This is what it looks like after the removal of all but the swapfile53... (I deleted swapfile1-52) each 1.1 GB

  It is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, tokens of memory on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the boot volume.) This activity is relatively slow and causes the entire system to be less sensitive. It can happen for two reasons:

  A process of long duration with a memory leak (a kind of bug)

  Not enough memory for your usage pattern

  Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, install more memory will not help. It's likely you have already more than 4 GB of memory. Hunt for leaking memory can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.

  These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later versions. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of Mac OS X.

  When you notice the slowdown, open the activity monitor application, then select all processes in the view menu, if it is not already selected. Select the memory the real Mem of the treatment twice table column header to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you do not see this column, select

  View ▹ columns ▹ real memory

  in the menu bar.

  If a process (excluding the "kernel_task") uses a lot more memory than all the others, which could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that constantly catches real more memory over time without ever letting go. Here is an example of how it's done.

  "Wired" memory should be less than half of the total. That memory is not exchanged, but makes available physical memory that you may then in Exchange. If most of the memory is wired, which can be an indication of a leak memory in a third-party program that modifies the low-level operating system. Ask for advice in this case.

  If you do not have a clear memory leak, the options are to install more memory (not possible with a MacBook Air) or less than programs running concurrently.

  The following suggestion is reserved for users familiar with the shell. For a more accurate, but potentially misleading test, run the following command:

  sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total

  where process is the name of a process, you think of a memory leak. Almost every process will cause a memory leak. the question is how, and especially how the leakage increases with time. I can't be more specific. See the manual page leaks (1) and the Apple Developer documentation for more details.

• (El Capitan 10.11.5) MacBook Pro keeps freezing

  Hello Apple community. So my MacBook Pro freezes constantly and loading things very slowly. It freezes during 10 or minutes at a time, but other times, it is quite well. I recently wiped this MacBook and transferred to the demands of my old MacBook, which has never had these problems. Posted below is my Etrecheck.

  There are several things to consider:

  It is a five year old computer, problems are bound to happen sooner or later, so get ready to tha.

  First of all, you need to maybe bad RAM. Agents of the launch system, System launch Daemon and your virtual memory information imply that something is eating all of your ram. 4 GB is not much, but it should be more than enough unless it no longer works properly.

  My second comment would be the hard drive. Generally, a rotating disc is not a long life in a laptop, being pushed around when the laptop is turned on and was moving. It is possible that you have bad blocks.

  Thirdly, it could be your battery. Plain and simple, a dying battery.

  The best option at this point would be to make an appointment at the Apple Store and run an MRI (Mac resource Inspection) to detect what can go wrong.

• 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!

  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.

• MacBook pro keeps freezing

  My macbook pro (early 2015) has been working great until about a week ago. It started freezing and now it done very often. IM do not receive a beachball, the mouse pointer remains the same. Im having to restart it manually each time by holding down the power button. This problem began only after I have updated to the version OS X EL capitan 10.11.4. 80 GB of free space so I don't think it's a problem.

  All solutions?

  Thank you

  I had this problem too, like many other people (there is several messages and discussions already). Seems to happen more often with Mac in 2015.

  There is nothing to do. I tried a clean install of El Capitan with full SSD erased and 10.11.4 combo update, it did not help; my macbook pro 13 2015 keeps freezing with Safari.

  It is related to Safari or a framework/driver related to the browser.

  Apple has to fix. Just use Firefox or Chrome.

• MacBook Pro keeps freezing and timing after update to El Captain 10.11.15

  I have a MacBook Pro, which was previously executed on SCF 10.11.14 2013. I began to see problems before my laptop even turned on! When it is restarted after installation, I got about 60% of the way down the front loading apple bar it has completely stopped. I waited quite awhile (maybe 20 minutes) but no progress on the charge. I did a reboot hard twice before he finally finished (sidenote: both times I restarted, instead of starting at the beginning of the load bar as it should, the load bar would start in the place of 60% that he is stopped at the first time).

  It finally comes and I had to open iTunes, Photoshop and Safari so it was very laggy. After working on my laptop for five minutes, the song that I had started doing these breaks, and Photoshop as well froze upwards. I tried to go on Safari, and that's where the beachball replaced my mouse arrow. I tried to use my MB with the only window open (photoshop), but even force weren't no longer works. It just seems to be freezing for longer periods of time.

  I ended up doing a hard reboot once again and only with the help of Safari, but this does not work. Hard restart once again tried only using Photoshop and encountered the same problem. This last time, I have Photoshop open, but for some reason, the tools are not answer at all. For example, when you use the Paintbrush tool, you will see a circle in the placement of the classic mouse arrow when you are in the photoshop window. Well, the arrow of the mouse remained and everything I clicked on, as well as two fingers/output action zoom did nothing. Nothing does in Photoshop anyway.

  Could someone please, please help me? I'm a photographer and I have a project due to my clients in the morning, and I can't afford this issue right now. I write this on my MB Air, which runs on CBS 10.11.13. I'm afraid to try an install of update on this one!

  If nothing can help, can someone tell me how easy and on an empty stomach to downgrade to the previous version of El captain? Thanks a bunch!

  There is no easy way to downgrade. He must erase the drive and then reinstall OS X. First, you need a good backup. Or you can try the following:

  Try these in order to test your system after each see if it is back to normal:

  1. a. reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

  b. Macs with Intel processors: reset of the controller (SMC) system management

  2. restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart again, normally. If this does not help, then:

  Boot to HD recovery: restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and press and hold the

  Command and R keys until that Menu Utility screen appears.

  3 repair the hard disk and permissions: restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the command and R until the Menu Utility screen opens.

  When the Utility menu, select disk utility, and then press the continue button. After loading disk utility select it

  indented (in general, Macintosh HD) entry of the list to one side.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait for the operation

  is over, then quit disk utility and return in the Utility Menu.

  4 download and install updated Combo OS X El Capitan 10.11.5.

  5 reinstalling OS x: reboot of HD recovery Select reinstall OS X in the Utility Menu and click on the continue button.

• My Macbook Pro keeps freezing for short periods

  Hello

  A new problem started with my Macbook pro in recent weeks. Initially, it was rare, but now he continues to be all a few minutes (it happened as I type this). What is happening is that my current application freezes for a few seconds, then returns to normal, and then the screen freezes. I'll expand a bit: while I'm typing this, suddenly the Safari froze and I just kept typing on, and when I use any action (like a slide four fingers), it works, but will not pass to the other window/app. After that, the kind of display of speeds upward, as it's contagious back in real time after the break (if I'm on vlc, TI video speed looks like 4 x, all the letters, I typd in pages apper as if Im typing God-speed). Then, a few seconds later, the computer will completely freeze, not to accept any user input and then resume as nothing has happened about 5 seconds later. This has happened very often now (I counted 3 times while I typed this place).

  Please help me on what I should try to do to solve this problem. Initially, I thought it was a problem of RAM so I borrowed my Mac mini and inserted in my Macbook RAM. He worked as always for about a day, before returning to the State of the problem.

  Data sheet:

  MacBook Pro 15 "Early 2011 model

• MacBook Pro keeps freezing after update to Mountain Lion

  I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion since Snow leopard. I use a late 2008 Macbook Pro. Since the upgrade, I'm randomly crashes when you use most of the applications (logic x, VLC, QuickTime) it also freezes when using Mozilla. When it freezes I don't get the option to force quit if I continue to use the power to close button. I really want to continue to use Mountain Lion, because I use several applications up-to-date as logic x and is also compatible with my external sound card. I enclose a newspaper of being as recommended check on some posts here. Any help would be great and thanks in advance

  Bill

  Here is the Log to check be after a recent freeze when using Mozilla

  Hello billy.

  When point to Mountain Lion? When say 'freeze' you mean the kernel panics? You get a multilingual you requiring window on the eve of your Mac? Your EtreCheck report shows 3 kernel panics. They were before or after you updated to Mountain Lion? If your machine has been seen panicking the kernel before, then it might be a hardware problem. If these panics are new since the Mountain Lion, then it is likely an incompatibility with one of your extensions to core 3rd part. She can relate to those who show 'loaded' in your report of EtreCheck, but it could involve other extensions too, depending on what hardware or software is used.
