  • HT3205 My mac book pro will not turn on. The light on the battery charger is weak, barely visible.

      I recently purchased an iphone 5s. After returning home form the apple store, so very excited to sync my new device, my mac book pro won't turn on.
    it was last used 3 hours prier to me returning home. It won't turn on, the charger light is weak, barely visible. When I plug the charger to another device it works fine. Before I take it to be repaired I would like to get a general idea of the problem, as well as an estimated cost.

    A. We have no idea what the problem might be.
    B. We have no ideaa what it will cost to repair it.
    C. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Mac Book Pro will not turn on

    I have a 2011 MBP 15 inch. I recently updated to OS X Yosemite. I was using my Mac last night when all of a sudden the display went to the restart screen. I went to log back in and it showed the bar, which i'm assuming meant it was updating the system. It got maybe a 1/3 of the way done when it restarted it's self again. It did this a couple of times all the while my caps lock button is lit up to be on, but when I went to log in I clicked it off, but it showed the icon stating that cap lock was then activated. After the fourth or fifth time logging in the screen went black and it will not turn back on. The caps lock button is still lit, but there is nothing when I push the power button. I would greatly appreciate any advice that someone could give me as I'm a senior in college and that computer has my life on it.
    Thank you for your tips and advice.

    Hey kgary1323,
    Thanks for the question and detailed information. Since your caps lock is lit, we know that the issue is not related to power - so that’s good news. Next, we’ll want to troubleshoot the video connection:

  • My WiFi on my Mac Book Pro will not turn on.

    For a couple of months now, my wifi on  my Mac Book Pro has been hit and miss on connecting to my network.  Now, for the past several months, I cannot get teh wifi to even turn on.  I am running version 10.8.5, 2.66 Ghz 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 late 2008 model.  An anyone help?  Or is the hardware just dead?  Thank you in advance.

    Does the startup chime sound?

  • My mac book pro will not turn on

    I was downloading new software it was taking a long time
    I realised I had Uni work I need to do so I turn my Mac Pro off
    While it was still downloading/ rebooting ...
    My mac made a load noise when I turned it off
    I knew that wasn't a good idea once I turn it off
    Now when I turn my laptop on the screen is black

    Try SMC and PRAM resets and see if they will liven up your MBP:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • 17 inch MAC book pro will not boot up

    My 17 inch MAC Book Pro will not power/boot up.  The battery is charged and it displays a green light on the power adapter.  However, it will not boot up.

    Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If it doesn't work, probably there's a logic board problem, so it's possible that you need a new logic board. Take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller

  • I recently upgraded my Mac Book Pro to Mountain Lion mainly to get the notes app. Notes synced once then no more. I have notes turned on in system preferences. Any ideas? Is this a known issue?

  • My mac book pro will not recognize

    My mac book pro will not recognize my hp printer after years of knowing it's connected. USB port works fine with other connections.  I have reinstaled it. What do I do?

    Hi ...
    Go to the HP site and download the drivers (software) that is specific to your HP printer model >  http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    That way you will have the latest software available for your printer.
    Then open System Preferences > Print & Scan - Print.
    Select the printer on the left then click -  (minus)
    Now click + and follow the instructions. You may need to turn the printer off then back on before your Mac recogizes the new drivers.
    You may also need to click the lock icon in the Print window in order to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password.

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

  • My Mac Book Pro will not power on

    My Mac Book Pro will not (boot-up) power on.
    What should I do?

    Do you have the power adapter connected?  Does it display a light, amber or green? 
    Have you checked the battery charge level by pressing the exterior battery level button?
    Try a SMC reset:

    You could try doing a hard shut down (holding the power button or yanking the battery) and then doing a safe boot by holding the shift key at startup:

    Also, not sure if this applies in your case, but I've had that happen when there's a USB drive inserted either in the computer or a connected external keyboard.  I did a hard shut down, removed the drive and it went through a normal start up.

  • Downloaded and installed os x yosemite and now mac book pro will not restart? How long should this take? Is there something wrong? Please helpthanks in advance

    MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?

    The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
    The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check  menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed.
