Start to 2008 MacBook Air problem!

Hey all! I recently bought a MacBook Air in 2008. When I went to power it the Apple logo and the loading bar started to load. But he only go about 5% and then it turns off, it makes a little noise of "pop". Any help appreciated. Thank you!

You will need to use the original installation media (10.5 Leopard) and see if you can start the MBP with the DVD.  If you proceed with the installation of os x.

When you see a menu bar, click on utilities.

In the drop-down list, select disk utility.

Run disk utility > first aid > verify and repair.

If the Player cannot be repaired, it must be replaced.

Ciao.

    When launching VMware Fusion and by selecting the settings of the Virtual Machine-> USB and Bluetooth, I expected to see 'automatically' integrated iSight camera in option to pass through to my VM (Windows 7) However, only 2 items listed have been

    • USB Bluetooth Apple host controller

    To check on Google people see the "Apple iSight Camera" as a merge option, but it does not appear as an option for me.

    Search

    I searched Google gih and low for an answer and can't seem to find it

    I downloaded and installed the drivers from Windows ready for when I get the camera view by fusion - http://www.techrockdo.com/technology/isight-camera-in-windows-on-vmware-fusion

    I also plugged in a USB headset and then who appears in the options available under USB and Bluetooth and is seen by the virtual machine and works well from the small amount of tests, I have undertaken.

    I checked the camera works well in the native operating system and that fact in a plethora of applications

    I'm not to give up easily, but seem to be running out of ideas now, oh and hair...

    What is an air of 2013?  The iSight camera is not a USB - PCIe device.  VMWare is working on that.

  • Wifi MacBook air problems.

    I run to OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. Since the upgrade to El Capitan, I have Wifi connectivity problems.  My wifi turns either on a random or it will appear under the name now, but I wont have all internet pages will be just stuck on loading. This occurs only at home, I think not that the fault lies with the router because as I said I have the same router with respect, before moving to El Capitan and before the upgrade, I had this problem. This has become incredibly annoying because I have to turn the wifi and turns off again and sometimes the wifi is just stuck on being extremely slow to the point where even my phone a much faster connection. I really need a fix for this because it became unbearable.

  • Load OSX on 2014 macbook air problems

    Hey guys, dude this device telling me that he had bought earlier by someone who had deleted the info private and he has said that he needs to enter the password to access the desktop computer. The thing is, no matter what he tried it is not on the desktop, I think the OSX could have been deleted accidentally or not. I also think that the password which he received from the seller is a hard drive password and not osx password. As shown in the first screenshot, looks like this unit came with Yosemite and wants to go to Apple to reinstall, but when I try to do is to show an error.

  • IntelHD chips in MacBook Air start just less efficient?

    So I have a Core i5 MBA. 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, and it is probably the strangest machine I've ever owned.

    Speakers just didn't work at all until yesterday when like magic, it started working, which - as a technician 16 - who actually me mystified but little matter... audio works now, so I do not take it any further.

    The problem, for that I'm here, it's that it's all around slow. Moving in the dock, the magnification is extremely agitated, scrolling is jerky, move the mouse happens to a framerate so poor that I'd swear I was on an old Compaq to 20 year.

    To tell the experience that I have-it feels like any Windows machine would be if it was freshly restored without the graphics drivers... except on a Windows machine, I can just track down the hardware of the device ID, find the graphics driver and everything is smooth again... but I'm not too well versed in the language of Macish. What I did the research, the graphics for my Intel HD3000 machine driver is bundled with updates so that it seems that I must rely on kext tools at the terminal to * maybe * trigger my graphic extension.

    None of this seems lead me anywhere I tried internet replicated several times, followed with every update available 10.7 has access to... and evidence of pages of search results at least 15 of things without success. Everything that happens seems also my brick machine, if I try to upgrade to El Capitan on the App Store. Tested the SSD to see if this might be the culprit, checked everything very well. I think that the integrated gfx would mean that if my gfx card was dead, I wouldn't be able to pass material Diagnostics (or even put on with success).

    Only thing I have not tried until now becomes the DMG for ElCapitan and create a bootable disc see if the last just quick MacOSX solves everything (that I'll do tonight).

    If that gets me nowhere... What could be the problem?

  • MacBook Air wouldn't startup after starting get disk error

    I was getting full boot disk error on my Macbook Air 2012 model a few times, and then it stopped starting (folder flashing with question mark began to appear). I followed the instructions on this site If flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support

    but failed to copy data from the drive on an external hard disk. I could see my boot (MacintoshHD) on the disc utilities drive, but could the volume seems to be not mounted.  The size of the disk is 128 GB and only 12 MB seems to be free.

    2 selected MacintoshHD and tried to unlock it. The system tried for a while, and the password window disappeared after some time with the MacintoshHD via disk utility.  When I restart the machine again in recovery, disk MacintoshHD reappears in the same situation.

    3. I was able to start the macbook after installing a new version of OS X in an external hard drive. During the installation of OS X, I couldn't copy the data from the volume MacintoshHD (possibly the drive is locked).

    4. I could not start my macbook in safe mode.

    My query is-

    1. I had not backed up my data by any means. What are my current options to copy my data MacintoshHD?

    2. because the MacintoshHD is locked and attempts to unlock it had no disk utility, it will help if I start my macbook target disk mode, connect to another mac via a thunderbolt cable and try to copy data?

  • 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:

  • How can I transfer the mail, Safari, iTunes, etc of my 2008 MacBook running OS 10.5.8, a new MacBook Pro (with Ethernet port) or a new MacBook Air?

    I replace my 2008 Macbook which maxed out at OS 10.5.8, with a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.  The Pro has an Ethernet port, the Air is not.  I want to transfer all the data from my application (mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.) for the new Macbook that will run El Capitan.  How can I do?

    What machine you're leaning towards? With Air, you have to use ether WIFI or have the old drive on an external drive configuration. With a new Macbook Pro, the simplest method is to use the migration assistant. Access your Macbook in public services and to see, there you have it. Here is a link to what you can do.  http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html It is said Lion, but it applies the same. Here's what apple says.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350 you should know that some of the apps in Leopard will be obsolete in El Captian. There you transfer, it can cause problems. I use the thinking that if I can replace it with a download I do this. The transfer or, if there is an update for it.

  • MacBook Air Flash storage problem

    So I just got a Macbook air mid 2012. It has 128 GB flash storage whilst running the latest Mac OS X Version 10.11.1 and the problem is that it is either showing wrong info or a lot of storage was taken over by something unknown. Apps took more than 50 GB of space even if there is no all the apps that are heavier than Microsoft Word and Excel. Acquired photos 8 GB and 4 GB audio which is totally false because there is not any music in there still. Please guide me in solving this problem.

    For more information about the other category in the view of storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 8 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    When Time Machine backs up a Mac laptop, some free space will be used to make a snapshots the, who are backups of deleted files recently. The space occupied by the local snapshots is declared as available by the Finder and should be considered as such. In the view of storage of the information system, snapshots appear them as backups. The snapshots are deleted automatically when they expire or when free space becomes less than a certain level. You don't need to usually and should not, remove snapshots them yourself. If you have followed the bad advice to disable snapshots the running a shell command, you may have ended up with a large amount of data in the other category. Ask for instructions in this case.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that CESO works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you use an older version of the OS, use GP.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS or GP can not see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click anywhere in the row of the text below on this page to select it, and then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    For ODS:

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    For PMS:

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated 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.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

  • All of a sudden will not start Photoshop [on a Macbook Air]

    Hi all

    I'm on a MacBook Air with OS X 10.10.2 and I use Photoshop once a month, but now I really need, and it does not start:

    -As soon as I click on the Photoshop icon I get "Unable to open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 because of a problem." And when I click on the "Report" button... "I get a very technical message (see below).

    -J' used Photoshop on this machine for about a year without problem, but recently I had a problem and needed to recharge my Time Machine backup.

    -I don't know if the problem occurred immediately after the restore or not.

    -J' read countless discussions on various forums, but nothing explained my problem exactly. I suspect a problem with my paths and permissions (since I read a report that restoring from a TimeMachine causes these problems sometimes), but I don't know which way is corrupted/missing/illegible.

    -J' tried to create a new account admin and Photoshop from here. It did not work.

    -I don't mind reinstalling, but I don't have a picture of the installer. I started with Photoshop 6, then updated to CS2 and CS4 and CS5. I have all the serial numbers but not all the images-updated.

    I would be grateful for clues on how to diagnose further and some problem.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Stop copying from one computer to the other installation files.  The problems that you are experiencing currently is mainly caused by the use of the Migration Wizard you displayed in the #3 message.

    I recommend that you try the following steps:

    1. Run the uninstall programs that can be viewed in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    2. Run the CS cleaner tool to check the required files have been deleted - for installation problems CS cleanup tool | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    3. Relocation of the installation files copied to a USB stick using a computer that has an optical drive.

    If you continue to experience difficulties, then the faster would be to format, run the Migration Wizard only to documents and settings and then reinstall it from the USB.  I've seen users spending hours and days trying to recover from the use of the Migration Assistant or some type of solution to transfer from one computer to the other.  Our function of claim better if they are installed correctly the installer.
