MacBook Air Mac OS X Leopard crashing
Hi all,
I bought my a MacBook Air with Mac OS X Leopard installed from a person on eBay as a Christmas present for my wife.
I have been trying all day to get it working but I give up.
The first issue is that it kept hanging when we were setting up a new account during the initial setup wizard. After a bit of Google searching I found that I needed to not select a wireless network before creating an account during initial setup wizard. So I took the advice and did not select a wireless network, the account the created ok and we eventually got logged in.
Next issue, one logged in it constantly hangs / crashes needing a reboot every time. It crashes within a couple of minutes of logging in.
I then did some more work on Google searches, someone said to safe boot, I tried this and of course safe boot does not work. I cannot get safe boot to work by using the shift key or by going into terminal and entering the sudo nvram boot-args=" -v -x"
I do have the installation DVDs for Mac OS X Leopard however the MacBook does not have an optical drive.
The MacBook does also not have a NIC port.
I am totally lost, I am technical so would be happy to follow instructions on what to try but I am worried there is some underlying hardware fault the seller has not told me about.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Wayne
