go to setting you will need to set the password so every time you boot your mac it will ask for password.

Check Your RAM. Remove, Clean and insert again.

RAM Failure. Remove Cleanand Insert It Again.

There's a couple of things you could try. First, try removing the key using this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpwzUlJtVso make sure you turn the laptop off first.Then clean underneath it with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. Let it dry and replace the key. If that doesn't work, you may need a new keyboard. You can purchase and replace it yourself if you're up to it. Search iFixit.com for the tutorial on how to replace the keyboard for your specific model.

From your description it sounds like your alt key on your keyboard is sticking. Try tapping it a few times to get it moving, or get a can of compressed air and blow it around the sides of the keys. If your Macbook Air is still under warranty or is under AppleCare arrange an appointment with your local Apple Store and have it repaired professionally. Hope this helps.

If your Notebook computer battery is not charging, try the following:

• Reset your computer's power manager. For information on how to do this with your specific model, search Apple Support.
  
  • 
    
  • Make sure your AC adapter is properly inserted into your laptop.
    
    
  • Connect your computer to its AC adapter, shut it down, and then let it charge overnight. If it does not charge, it's likely you have a hardware fault in your computer, battery, or adapter, and you should have it repaired.
    
    
  • Test your AC outlet. See if your battery will charge if you plug it into a different outlet, or see if another electrical device will work in your original outlet.
    
    
  • Test your AC adapter. Try connecting a different AC adapter to your computer and see if it recharges.
    
    
  • If it's removable, test your battery. Try using a different battery with your computer and see if it will recharge.
    
    
  • In some of the early PowerBooks, the battery will not charge unless the computer is turned on. If you have an old PowerBook and your battery isn't charging while it's turned off, power it on, put it to sleep, and then see if it recharges.
  If you go through all of these steps and your battery still won't charge, or you can't narrow down the source of the problem, you will probably need to have your computer repaired. However, it may be worth your time to consult Apple Support first. It contains entries on problems with specific computer models and versions of the operating system, including battery recharge issues.
  

Could be as simple as you have the caps lock on, the password is case-dependent.

If not, you can reset your password by booting up the mac with the system disk (usualy disk 1 of the instal disks supplied) hold down the c key on your keyboard once it has booted up go to the menus and you will see a change the password item, use this to change the password. Once you have changed it quit out of the install disk and restart Hope this helps.

if it's the user account password you're having trouble with, it is possible to get around this by entering your system restore disk. there is a utility in there to bypass user account passwords

This can be caused by multiple reasons, but I would suggest unplugging all devices plugged in such as USB or eject any cd's in the drive. If none of the above applies I would suggest re-loading the operating system from the original DVD.

Please provide more details since the problem is not clear. It's possible the wireless connection you're connecting to is not very strong.

The meaning of Apple Hardware Test results is Apple proprietary.
That having been said, it appears that AHT is reporting a problem with a hardware component associated with your hard drive (the drive itself, a drive temperature sensor, or something else). An Apple Authorized Service Facility will be able to give you more information.

known problem of Macbooks, you'll have to bring it back to apple's store.

Unfortunately that sound like a defective LCD panel. You can verify this by plugging the system into an external monitor. As long as the shimmering band does not appear on external display then it is the LCD. If it is under warranty I would suggest taking it into Apple.

If you are very careful you can pop them off and clean underneath with a qtip and alcohol. Warning tho...you can break the tabs on them easily. My recommendation is to take to a mac repair shop and have them install a new keyboard. It will probably cost you about 100 dollars if you don't have the apple warranty. Good luck!

Thank you Valleychick for your support request. I will start by telling you that I am a BIG FAN of Mac computers . . . however, as much as I admire their insanely great strides in innovation by translating artisitic design, functionality, and technology beautifully into a personal computing device, I have been disappoionted how much reliability and overall quality seems to be sacrificed.
The best thing you can do with your problem is first, check out this link: http://blogs.eweek.com/applewatch/content/macbook/is_light_macbook_air_defect_heavy.html
Next, gather your receipts, packaging and all the cords, manuals, disks that came with yourt air book and return it ASAP to the store or reseller you purchased in order to exchange. What you describe is all too common with your model. You may want to print the blog from the link above as well and ask to make verify visually the screen quality of the screen before you take another defective laptop all the way back home.About $85.00 per hour, plus parts is what you will end up paying for labor for Mac tech to repair your AirBook if this problem or others pop up after the warranty expires, so don't be afraid to thoroughly have your exchange computer tested before you take it home. Wish I could FIX-YA better, but this is truly your best recourse. Please send us your feedback if this helped and let me know how your experience with returning the computer went.

You will need to plug in one side to my macbook's ethernet port and the other to your laserwriter. Also, you need to enable Appletalk on Ethernet. Here's how:

Cheers!

I'm sure this has been answered by now (in another post), but you boot to either an OS DVD or USB drive (and you can use a version other than the one you have installed); once booted to the non-hard drive OS installer (hold the option key down on boot-up to see bootable options), in the menus will be a password reset.
