Having troubles with the Instant On-feature.

My new Macbook Air had wakeup problems and Apple switched it out. The second one had the same problem.

I found out the crashes were from Adobe Flash - I had been running safari with multiple windows open when I would put the computer to sleep.

I erased the hard drive, reinstalled the system - no crashes for four days. I installed Flash and 3 crashes in 36 hours. I deinstalled - no crashes.

I now have installed a program ClickToFlash and Adobe flash. The flash software doesn't activate unless you click on the flash program in a web page. I close out any running flash before putting the computer to sleep and I no longer have any flashes.

That is what i thought, because i had installed a flash plug in on safari.

Apple better resolve that considering their known dislike for flash. I don't like it either but it seems it is not going anywhere anytime soon and you still need it unfortunately.

Even after the latest update my Air still fails to wake after sleep sometimes.

All -

I bought a 13.3" Air on November 19th and it and its replacements have been unreliable pieces of garbage, even with the firmware update. The three machines have crashed ten times in total and the one I am using now has almost nothing installed on it. I thought maybe the problem was the stuff I was installing, so I have only put a few things on this machine:

1. Adobe Flash (many people have speculated that this is the problem, but I do not think I have had Flash websites open every time the computer has crashed);
2. PostgreSQL 9.0; and
3. A small folder with about 25 text and PDF files which relate to the work I am doing right now. The other 99%+ of my data is on my old computer.

I asked one of the people at the local Genius Bar to submit my kernel panic logs (from my last machine) to some engineers in Cupertino. He said he would and promised to call me within two business days. It has been four business days, no call, and he is not working today.

The people at the toll free help line and in the Apple stores have been very nice, but they have been totally incapable of solving this problem.

It seems my only option is to return this machine. Getting a FOURTH MacBook Air is unlikely to solve anything.

The Flash Plug-in keeps crashing in my machine. I understand Adobe are working on an update, but there are clearly some major issues with Flash.

I got the new 13-inch MBA about 5 weeks ago and have had the same problem six or seven times. When I open it after it has been closed, the trackpad and keyboard are unresponsive. I have to press the power button multiple times until it shuts off and then reboots.
