My laptop has been having some serious issues. It was all working fine until one day, the trackpad no longer worked (I could click but couldn’t move the mouse) and the power button- ONLY the power button- wouldn’t work. I accidentally let it run out of battery, and when I finally turned it back...
Hey! :D
Anyone know why that vm-folder appeared with a swapfile? I think it happened after I upgraded to High Sierra but it could have been there before, not sure. I have a feeling it's not supposed to be in Macintosh HD? Can I delete it? :confused:
Thanks!
MacBook Air (bought Seot 2016) will not turn on. Blank screen. I was using it and left it for an hour, came back and pressed power buttom but it wo't start.

Hi!
My macbook 2011 air started making this noise over the last week. Fans aren't running fast, 1729 rpm according to istat. It's not even hot. Just super loud! Can't use it in class, it disturbs everyone.
There's no genius bar where I live. Anyone have an idea of what's up?

I've just purchased a MacBook Air. Having been an lifelong windows PC / laptop user, I'm still navigating around
1. What are the most "wow" features in MacBook Air that I should NOT miss ? Other than the thin size etc, what are the major feature or overwhelming advantages...
Hello All,
I hope someone can advise/reassure me please? As I am almost entirely technologically inept.
I'm going self-employed (PR and copywriting) and I'm thinking a MacBook Air 2017 would best suit my needs at the moment.
My plan - such as it is - is to hook it up to the old iMac I already...

I was working on my MBA when a small fly fell from the roof or something on the vent below the screen and the fans sucked it. There was some noise at the starting but onlu for 5 seconds or so. I tried to take it out but couldn't. I resumed my work. I noticed that the brightness was dimming and...
This morning I noticed my MacBook Air (2014, running Sierra) was not going to sleep when I shut the lid. Thinking it needed a simple restart, I hit the power button. When I attempted to turn it back on, I got a kernel panic log message with "DontStealMacOS" in the description. (I apologize for...
Updated my mac with High Sierra yesterday, with success. Since I am new with mac OS and partition, I created one small (22GB) and one big partition (100GB). After a painstaking HS installation (on smaller partition of internal drive), I made a mistake of erasing my big partition one after copied...
I have a Mid 2013 13" MacBook Air and the hinge is broken, meaning that it will fall almost flat with the keyboard. Also, whenever I adjust it, the hinge makes alarming sounds :eek:. I'm guessing that this was probably caused by longterm stress on the hinge throughout the almost 4-years I have...
Hello! I am going to be a freshman in college this fall and I am interested in buying a new laptop, but I am having trouble deciding which version of the Macbook Air is right for me.
So, I've read other posts about the differences between the two versions, but I was wondering which one would...
I'm planning to buy a new Macbook in the coming weeks. After a lot of doubting I got my mind set on a 13' Macbook Pro - 256gb without Touchbar.
However now I'm starting to read that the battery life is not that great...
For those who have made the switch; is it really that noticable? Or can you...
i just pulled the trigger and bought my first MBA. 2017 1.8 256ssd. Upgrading from a 2012 mbp with 5400 hdd that gave a beach ball on everything.
After looking at iMacs, Mbp’s and MacBooks I found this to be the best value. We don’t do a lot of intense work. The most we do is my 15 yr old son...
I have a Macbook Air 13'' with a 128GB SSD. I need to save up some memory for the daily works. I realize that moving the iTunes Library (~/Music/iTunes) to an external drive would be a nice way to save up more or less 20 GB...
I was thinking about buying a micro SD card/SD card. This one has to...
I have a samsung external hard drive that I use with my Mac. The last time I remember it working was when I was backing up some photos but it was taking days and the hard drive got accidentally knocked out of my mac.
It's not in disk utility or anywhere that I can see so I can't use first aid...
Hi all!
I'm looking to replace my five-year old Toshiba Satellite (which is beginning to give up the ghost) and am thinking about purchasing my first macOS laptop device.
I've never really used macOS before, just a few times to surf the net and send a few emails - so I consider myself a...
