I had the same error on my MAC-Book PRO and it turned out to be a MAC address issue. these are the steps I took:
Reset router to default settings
Remove network from saved network.
Search for network.
If this doesn't work, you might have to add the network manually.
Hope this helps.

Firmware update and FileVault
A forum post suggests that Firmware updates require access to /System/... in addition to the EFI partition (disk0s1).
Since /System/... is located on the startup volume it is encrypted if you have FileVault 2 enabled - due to Full Disk Encryption.
If you search further down in /System/... you will find the Revision number ...

Assuming it only happens sometimes and only when you are actively using the computer (key board & Mouse)
Lets find out if it is you doing it.
Check your settings for Display Sleep in:
System preferences> Desktop and Screen saver> Hot Corners!
In here look if you have a setting to put display to sleep.

My suggestion would be a variation on Adam's answer that sets the volume very low, but not silent. Don't forget that that sound is a cue that the Mac is booting properly. Perhaps someone can post the volume-setting command?

On my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.3 I have a configuration file for each external display I connected to my Mac in this folder: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays. If you can identify the file for your display from that list, try moving the file to a different folder and reconnecting your monitor. This solved an issue I was having with colours not showing ...

If you boot from an external drive or recovery mode it is also sufficient to zero the internal disk if it's an SSD. One pass is enough. Use Disk Utility to discover what device the internal disk uses (probably /dev/disk0). If you see a partition like /dev/disk0s2 then the disk is /dev/disk0). Use "Get Info" to find out the mount point.
Then quit Disk ...

Symbolication means replacing memory addresses with symbols (like functions or variables) or for example adding function names and line number information. It is used for debugging and analyzing crash reports.
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.coresymbolicationd/data was also about 600 MB on my account, so I guess it's normal. Deleting files in cache folders ...

Don't worry about the temperature of your macbook... use it without any thought.

Go to Recovery by pressing CmdR while restarting and erase your Mac's disk in Disk Utility. Then, reinstall the OS.

Some things I would be worried about:
While it's true that the MacBook Air does not have a spinning hard drive or a cd drive, it does have moving parts, namely, the fans. These should be pretty stable, but it does show that there are loose things inside the compute that could become broken due to excessive shaking.
If the computer is running, then ...

It's as safe as shaking an iPad or an iPhone. Just don't drop it!

One more thing I really want to mention. I would not recommend to use any of those MacBook body cases, such as this one for example
Basically, the cooling of the MacBooks works through a gap below the screen where the hinges are, the aluminum body, and the keyboard. If you cover you MacBook in plastic, it will reduce the heat escape through the body. Also, ...

I have several Macs and they are only shut down when there will be no humans using them for 2 or more days.
The only moving parts are the Hard Drives and they are engineered to run for years as sealed units.
Of course, we either put our Macs to sleep or hibernation.

Had a friend rarely switch off his devices when everything turns to Apple, even his Air. Shall be ok to keep it running for couples of hours.

Yes of course. I had my MacBook running for a week once. And as long as you don't do any heavy tasks, such as rendering or video compression, you won't have any overheating issues.

I personally haven't seen an easy setting which will let you choose a destination while the course is being downloaded.
You still have two options:
In iTunes go to Preferences and then select Advanced tab on top. There is an option to change the iTunes Media folder location. You can connect a USB drive and temporarily select that drive for downloads.
I ...
