Why my MacBook Air is not restart?

My MacBook Air is a little strange. When I click on the Safari icon, nothing happens. When I clicked through launching pad, it tells me "cannot open the application"Safari"because it is not responding."

When I opened the window force quit, he says the only programs running are Finder and Safari. When I try to force quit Safari, nothing happens.

When I try to reboot, I get the popup "Are you sure you want to restart your computer now?", but when I click on "restart" popup disappears and nothing happens. I wait when the countdown timer and restart on its own, nothing happens.

Reboot does not work either.

I tried to wait a while. Nothing.

When I try to open Google Chrome, a pop up flashes for about one second, which says something about the interruption of a reboot, then breaks down to Chrome. (Even if I do twice on, in which case you would think restarting had already been interrupted, I still get the same error message and crash)

The two other programs I've tried, Photoshop and Textwranger, opened and closed correctly.

Yesterday and a few days before that, I was getting pop ups warning me that my startup disk was full. I went through and deleted most of My Documents, downloads, and the Desktop files and uninstalled all unnecessary programs.

Yet, he always says I have only 12.58 GB free (120,11 GB). The vast majority of my files (87,73 GB), according to the about this Mac falls into the category of 'other '. So I don't really know which of my files that would be.

I still have a good number of iPhone photos stored in iPhoto. Looks like those who would be present as 'photos' rather than 'other', but maybe not.

I had planned to go to iPhoto external hard drive tomorrow night as soon as I'm on my home (where is my biggest external hard drive).

And then to uninstall Photoshop, I guess the biggest program that I installed it, if I had still not enough available disk space.

But now that same Safari does not work, I'm worried, that it could be more serious that comes to move some files from external hard drives. I use Photoshop a lot, so I prefer not to uninstall, if this is not what is causing the problem.

Dumping iPhoto and Photoshop the best way to go? Or is there something else that would cause the large number of 'other' files and the problems I see.

(It's a MacBook Air (11 inch, early 2014), running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.5, purchased by me summer 2014).

Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Why the Macbook Air is not supported by iPhone?

    I heard that most Apple products have serious incompatibility issues, but I thought a Macbook and an iPhone would be sorta coexist together.  Apparently not, as is apparently the case after reading several articles online.  That said, I'm curious... from the air and the iPhone fail to connect through Bluetooth, is there a workaround or a hack possible (apart from using a cable) to allow these two Exchange files?  Perhaps a 3rd party hack that I don't know?

  • MacBook Air will not recognize Micro SD disk in the format exFAT

    Hello

    I have a new camera of Campark Xtreme (like a Go Pro) who uses a Micro SD disk in ex FAT format. My 3 year old MacBook Air does not recognize the disc in this format. But to reformat, I need to erase all the content on the disc. When I put the disc in the camera, the camera will not work unless I have reformat the drive for exFAT.

    My computer is 10.10.5. So my husband. We have the same problem on two laptops.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    The Mac can read and write to exFat without problem. The problem is probably that the card is too recent for the readers into your computers.

    Fortunately, a new stand-alone USB drive which takes care of these maps is cheap.

  • 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.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air does not print

    Products:

    • HP Officejet Pro 8600
    • MacBook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
    • MacBook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)

    Question:

    • Why my Mac initially print fine, but now will not print?

    Full article:

    I have a wireless network in my house that consisted of a 30 MB cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 laptops from Dell with Windows 7, a laptop Lenovo with Windows 7 and Dell with Windows 7 trick, all printed matter very well.

    The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.

    I added a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago.  The two Macs printed fine for about a week.  Then suddenly they stop.  I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP's Service, and finally, they said to my router.  So I called Netgear.  NETGEAR was useless!  They wanted me to accept fees for services before they would even discuss the issue.

    As a result of information provided by the HP support service, and because Netgear will not support their product, I quickly bought a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.

    Macs will recognize the printer will print if connected via a USB cable, but do not print wirelessly on the Officejet Pro 8600.  The fine impression CPA.

    The frustration that is felt is made up by the fact that Macs printed very well with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks and now the printer shows just "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)

    Please help, thank you very much for all support.

    As a side note, the representative of the HP Service was very friendly and definitely tried to support the HP product, which is much more I can say about Netgear.

    Thank you

    Hello

    More likely a problem with Multicast, which Apple devices are relies on to communicate with the device through the network.

    First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.

    Connect to the power supply and wait 2-3 minutes.

    Turn off the HP printer and turn it back on, then check all difference.

    If it persists, try to change the configuration of your router as follows

    Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you with the steps as a best efforts and those based only on my own knowledge. You can try to change the settings of the router at your own risk:

    1. Open the router configuration page (you'll find listed as the default gateway by clicking the icon on the printer wireless, then print a network configuration report.
    2. Click the Advanced tab.
    3. Click the configuration option in the menu, and then click Setup WAN.
    4. Be sure to uncheck the box Disable IGMP proxy transmission and apply the changes.
    5. Click on the LAN configuration on the same Setup menu.
    6. Set the RIP RIP-2 Version and apply the changes.
    7. Restart your router and then check any change.

    I hope that you will find useful information, you can also use the guide to the user below for more information:

  • MacBook pro do not restart

    Why my MacBook Pro not restarting but switches off the power?

    To what extent the process of startup you get?

  • Why my Macbook Air poster as a bridge to my Wifi network?

    We fight network gremlins in our small office.  We have an unnecessarily complicated network topology, but I don't think that the 'complexity' network is the fundamental issue (guess total).  Here's the situation.

    Periodically, we have network problems that range from individual devices or IP phones, problems at the Internet, across the Office of failures.  The Internet seems to be stable during the network problems and is also big enough to handle the traffic.  There seems to be no problem with the Internet itself - FYI...  We have a mix of Mac and PC, printers, file server and IP phones using the network.  The network is a mix of wifi devices connected and wired devices (PC/Mac wifi wired connected...printers/phones in General).

    The network itself is as follows:

    AirOS WAP which does not respect NOT IPs, just toward the life of a HP switch, which in turn is connected to a D-Link router that handles DHCP.  D - Link is then connected to our Internet modem.  The AirOS WAP is used because it is the signal strength and performance are supposed to be better than the performance of the D-Link wifi.  Note: The wifi radio is turned OFF on the D-Link.  All attached devices appear in the ARP table on the device from D-Link (as expected).

    But and I finally get to my question on the AirOS my MacBook Air (El Capitan) is displayed in the ARP table under a bridge.  It is the only device that appears in the ARP table besides than the D-Link (showing also as a bridge - what is planned).  In other words, my Mac "is differently from any other device in the office, we want to eliminate as a potential problem."

    Any who have thoughts on why my Mac is illustrated as a bridge.  I checked my network settings and nothing seems out of the ordinary on my laptop.  (only the bridge I find together are thunderbolt - that is NOT connected)

    I'm sure that someone has an idea or two on why my device showing as a gateway into our network, and if this could be a problem.

    Thank you.

    After the Ubiquiti AirOS AP firmware up-to-date have been upgraded - if it is not already there - you have Ubiquiti why their software of AirOS reports what is shown.   AirOS has many configuration options and can be configured to distribute the signals with multiple devices Wi - Fi - what you see here, what version of AirOS is involved, how the device is configured, it is something that people of Ubiquiti are likely better to troubleshoot.

    The only way that I expect to see a Mac acting as a bridge is via system preferences > sharing > Internet sharing or maybe lower configurations of command line for access to these parameters.   If Internet sharing is disabled, I would not expect OS X works as a bridge.

    I would be the network inventory and nettoieriez configuration.   (Set in bridge) modem, firewall, to move, to cables and AP (s) systems.   I would use connections wired to the APs when possible and WDS where not.

    If you have the OS X Server autour (this forum), then those who need static IP addresses and will probably also want to wired connections for performance reasons.

    If one of the servers in use is accessible from the outside, we can a required more complex network configuration if you want to isolate the damage caused by a failure of the server.

    Wi - Fi can have serious interference problems in some areas.  Interference can wreak havoc with the connections Wi - Fi and AP, that can walls and anything that can block signals.

    If it's really a D-Link router (like the series DSR, etc.) and not a D-Link gateway area, these routers are not very effective firewall.   He worked with one of these.   Really hard to guarantee.    Not what they are built, either.

  • MacBook Air will not be closed

    Hi guys,.

    This morning, I opened my macbook air and something went wrong... When I opened the lid, there was the screen with the apple logo when you turn on your mac and then he went on the login page. I typed my password and you press on enter. It took 5 minutes before I could access my finder (and my computer did not have an update). When I was on my finder, the "toolbar" with the little Apple and time and wifi... wasn't there, nor has the toolbar with my apps. I waited a long time before it appeared and my computer is very slow. The fan was going crazy. When I opened my computer to all first battery was 80% and after 10 minutes, it's 35%. I have tried to close down to close all the programs 'mind' my mac but it never stop, not even when I pressed the manual power button. I had to close safari, itunes, and messages, and then you press on stop, but the mac was just restart and not blocking down. I even tried to make a user account of guess so I could try to stop it on this user, but when I tried to log on the user to guess account, the screen went black, the mouse was looking, but nothing appeared. Then the screen went black and the fan of work stop, and I couldn't open the mac more (maybe it wasn't battery more, I do not know..) So I plugged it to load and then left for work. I wonder what that is is happened because I used it yesterday evening to make a thing of budget with excel and then I heard music on itunes and when I did, I closed the lid. Everything worked well. I downloaded a bittorrent Saturday, but it did not work so I deleted everything related to this event bittorent the app and I emptied my trash. So now I'm naïve. My macbook air is about 3 years old, maybe 4, but I really had problems with it before. I have no money I have buy a new either if one of you has a suggestion I could try, that would be really appreciated. If this isn't the case, I'll have to wear to apple if someone can fix it.

    Thanks to all who answer me!

    Follow these instructions: reset of the controller of the steering system (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support. Read and follow all the steps in the order in which they appear.

  • Photoshop Elements on Macbook Air do not recognize camera

    I have a Macbook Air with OS X 10.11.6.  I downloaded PS 14 elements of the AppStore.  When I connect my camera (Canon EOS60D) via USB to the laptop is not recognized by the Import Wizard.  This is why I can not download my pictures using PS Elements.  Please help otherwise I will need to have a refund.

    Can I import photos by copying them from the memory card on the hard disk, and then import again in PS Elements.  But this isn't really a sensible approach.

    Any help welcome.

    Hi, I have the same problem. I just realized that the PSE Organizer find my Canon 6 d camera in iPhone/iPad when I click Import (as opposed to under camera where it should be). Try this - I hope it works for you. None of the other corrections that I found on the work here.
