My MacBook Air (late 2011 model) was working fine like it always does, then all of a sudden everything froze and multi-colored, horizontal lines were running through my screen and flashing like crazy. Nothing would work. Everything froze. Just the flashing, buzzing lines. I had to hold down the...

Model Name: MacBook Air Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 1.4 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 800 MHz If I take good care of this computer (i.e., performing maintenance tasks, permissions repair, Onyx, etc.)...

I know it's not 2016 yet LOL but I've just returned to rep/thank you both. :)

Thank you both so much! I have the iStat Nano widget and it currently shows this info about my battery: Cycles: 601 Health: 87% My MBA is just over a year old. So I guess this iStat Nano reading is "average/normal" for someone who uses it a lot every day? Note: I HAVE noticed the health % jumps...

Delta, thank you! You always reply to my posts! :) And you explain it so well. Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to check back in 2016. LOL Just 2 quick questions: 1. What exactly does Apple mean by "adaptive charging"? 2. You said this: "Shorter life means that you charge your MBA up...

Quoted from Apple's support website: "The built-in battery of your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air is designed to deliver up to 1000 full charge and discharge cycles before it reaches 80 percent of its original capacity. In addition, Adaptive Charging reduces the wear and tear on the...

Don't quote me on this, but I think eBay uses Adobe Flash on some of their pages and images. Does the machine in question have Flash installed? If not, this could be the culprit.

Flush is a must-have, sweet little app! Run it once a month and it keeps your computer running in top shape, free of those pesky Flash cookies. It's very easy and there's no need to go into any of your folders to do it. Simply launch the app and click the "Flush" button. Done! You can download...

Anyone? :( Sorry to bug you guys. I'm just getting into the "technical" side of computers and learning a lot about Terminal and the "guts" of the computer. It's really very interesting! I've done a lot of research on my own, but I can't find an answer for those Console messages that I listed...

OK, thanks for checking, jbarley! What about the other Console message? Any idea what that means? EDIT: Another message I forgot to mention: com.apple.Dock.agent[97] DashboardClient[129:a03] needs update DashboardClient[129] needs update I thought that meant a Dashboard widget needed...

LOL I know! I felt so "old-school" when no one knew what I was talking about. I started thinking to myself "maybe it's not called a kernel panic anymore; maybe they have a new name for it these days." :o The good news is: It hasn't happened again. I ran Apple's hardware test (the extensive...

I see these 2 messages a LOT in my Console log. Any idea what they mean? (And I mean the term "Console Geeks" with utmost love and respect! :) ) loginwindow[35] in pam_sm_authenticate(): Failed to determine Kerberos principal name. com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.SystemStarter) Failed to...

Wow...I am SHOCKED. :eek: I went to the Apple store and asked FIVE people what a kernel panic is. They all said the same thing: "A kernel what???" :rolleyes: Apple employees don't even know what it is! How could this be?! :confused:

Can someone please tell me what just happened to this thread? LOL Did I miss something? It looks like someone replied to me but then they got banned, then someone else replied, but now that other reply has been deleted? I am hesitant to take advice for a banned member. Could someone please...

In Sys Pref under Security/Firewall/Advance tab in the box it says Java Pref and it's green and says "Allow incoming connections." Is this safe or does this mean that incoming connections (from hackers, snoopers, worms, etc.) will be allowed? Should I select "Block incoming connections" next to...

Hi! I got the 11 inch. I ended up not even bothering to take it to the Apple store because I took a pair of needle-nose pliers and wrap the tips in a cloth and was able to get most of the dent out. It's not even noticeable at all now - unless you know exactly where to look for it, and even then...

LMAO! Here's your sammich... :D

Okay, here we go... Lie. Show some skin. Be nice. Cry a little. Manipulate words. Show some more skin. Shed some more tears. Got it, thanks! :D

I will be honest, it was my fault. I dropped my MacBook Air (luckily it was in my computer bag) on a hard tiled floor. It hit on the bottom corner with a big "CLANG!" Now the back/bottom corner of the cover is dented. It still works fine, no major damage, but it really bothers me because I just...
