Macbook Pro 10.6.8 will not turn off, restart, or even sleep after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

It was working fine for the first 4 days until now, the computer won't turn off, won't restart, and won't sleep. When click on those button, the computer has no response. Also the iMessage App appears to not working as well. I tried forced turn off by holding the power button, but then it takes about 1 to turn back on. And now after it is on ago, it won't turn off again. And the Imssage is not working again. Other apps seems works just fine. Any suggestion?

Hi, Kinshinhh. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend processing an SMC reset on your MacBook Pro.

  • HT201257 Fan on my MacBook Pro came on and will not turn off, what could be wrong or how do I fix?

    The fan on my MacBook Pro came on out of no where and will not turn off. The computer is not heated nor are any applications running in the background. The seems to be going on full blast. Before now it worked fine. Would turn on or off when need. Please advice what could be wrong or if ther is anything I can do to fix or troubleshoot. Computer is not even a year old.

    LexSchellings: Now I know why you wished me luck and hoped everything would clear up asap hehe. I've been doing some reading and it is quite possible that my MBP late 2011 is sadly part of the probably million of MBP's out there with logic board issues. I am glad I am under warranty (still have to wait and see what apple techs decide on my comp) and sad that my comp will probably be done with in a few years. Not even 4 as it turns out. I can honestly say my old iBook G4 was amazing gave me 8 great years. Never had an issue with it.
    Something funny is that about 10 to 15 mins ago the fan on my comp (the only indicator I got of any issue going on) quite down and the comp was working perfect. It has been running really slow since I noticed the fan being over worked even if nothing is running. Then it started up again and once again quite down, functioned well for like 10 seconds and started being noisy and slow again.
    However there is an issue that bugs me, if according to my AHT results it is a faulty logic board how come my comp is still functioning? Of course being slow and noisy. I've read on some sad stories on here
    Wish me more luck and send me lots of good vives. Going to need them. Especially if I end up not being able to fix the comp.
    Apple is letting me down and to think I just purchased an iPad mini for xmas :/

  • System won't turn off, restart, hibernate or sleep after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    Help, please!!
    Two days ago in windows 8 store popped up an update to windows 8.1 for my pc. I am an owner of two notebook PC-s, both Lenovo, G580(which upgraded successfully without any issues, also it has intel inside) and G585(which upgraded without any issues, untill
    the set up completed and it booted up, it has AMD)
    So the AMD one, Lenovo G585, refuses to shut down, restart, sleep or hibernate, the only way to shut it down is to force it to turn off, meaning i have to press the power button for a couple of seconds. Along with other issues this is the only one i wasn't
    able to resolve. I have contacted my Lenovo support and they said there is nothing they can do and that i can only wait for an update... and in the meantime am i supposed to let this windows 8.1 upgrade
    mess up my new notebook?
    Ok, so i was stupid enough not to run windows 8 backup before i started this update, silly me, thinking what could go wrong, it's not like M$ described this upgrade as something like evolution of the century,
    but enough about that, i have tried every possible solution, updated my drivers, run admin cmd and typed powercfg -devicequery wake_armed - it displayed NONE, typed powercfg -lastwake - it displayed wake history count - 0, i tried entering BIOS and checking
    if there is anything in there i could possibly change, found nothing, tried disabling hibernate, still nothing, and each time i try putting my pc in one of those states the screen turns off, and it all seems like the pc will any moment and yet nothing it just
    stays on for countless hours unless i once again force it to shut down, also when in sleep mode no keys work for waking it up, mouse and keyboard are meaningless, the only button that works is the power button which turns it off completely and then i can turn
    it on all the way from the begining, so far at least that makes me happy, but continuing like this i will mess up my PC.
    PC specs:
    OS - Windows 8.1 x64, came preinstalled Windows 8 x64
    Processor: AMD E-300 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.30GHz
    RAM: 4GB
    Microsoft, any solutions to this one? 

    Last week I put a new hard drive in and loaded Windows 8 instead of Windows 7 (which I was previously using), it is a legit copy I had purchased and downloaded from Microsoft when Windows 8 first came out.  I had problems with activation, called Microsoft
    and they remotely connected fixing the problem.  Sleep Mode worked until it did the 8.1 upgrade.Now the System will not turn off, Sleep or Hibernate.  If I go to Sleep or Hibernate, the monitor turns off, hard drive turns off, but the fans are still
    running.  Try to wake up with mouse and nothing happens, have to hit the restart button.  If I try to shut down, it does the same thing, I can only shut down by holding the button.  I have tried everything suggested here, nothing has worked. 
    I would reload, but don't want to have to go through the problem of activating again.  The system32>sfc /scannow found nothing wrong, network adapter is not allowed to wake the computer, sharing turned off, and disabled the hybrid-shutdown-feature. 
    Computer has been scanned and re-scanned, not infections.  Video driver was re-installed.  I have checked all settings in BIOS.
    I was hoping that someone has found a solution to this problem.

  • MacBook Pro is charging but will not turn on

    Hi!
    So my laptop has been dead for about a day. I recently plugged in the charger for it to charge. There is an orange light that is on when I plug it in, and there are the green dots on the left side to show that it is indeed charging. Although when I press the start button down, it will not turn on. I do not hear the hard drive running when I press the button. The white light on the bottom right side of the keyboard is not lighting up either.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank You!

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Macbook Pro (Retina Early-2013) will not turn on

    I plugged my iPhone into my computer and was going through the process of syncing my music when my MacBook Pro just powers down completely. I've been unable to turn the computer on since then, following the Apple trouble-shooting process.
    Interestingly, when I do a SMC reset, the LED color on my MagSafe charger will change to green and then back to orange, leading me to believe that it isn't an issue with either the connection to the power button, or with the logic board itself. In spite of this, no boot-up sounds, no LED lighting up on the Caps Lock button, no nothing.
    Has anyone else run into an issue like this before? Were you able to resolve it?

    Hello FAHQALL,
    The resource below will provide some steps to try if your MacBook Pro won't turn on.  Resetting the SMC is one of them.  Troubleshooting the MagSafe adapter and installed RAM are also included.  There are links in the article for additional support if the computer needs to be physically inspected.

  • MacBook Pro Early 2008 - screen will not turn on

    I put my MBP to sleep last night as usual (via Finder). This morning when I opened the lid, I heard the familiar sound of the superdrive being accessed but then nothing. The screen would not turn on. I have tried several hard restarts using the power button but always the same result (no screen). I tried resetting the SMC but no luck. Reseated the RAM, nope. The battery is fully charged (battery test shows all lights on). Not sure what else to try short of taking it in to the local Apple retailer. I don't have AppleCare for it.
    I'm aware of the possibly of the NVIDIA no video issue (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377) and something I will mention if I have to take it in for the tech to look at. However, I was not having any video issues before this happened.

    If you qualify, you will not need AppleCare!  Just take your MBP in for repairs.

  • Tablet will not turn off or on even with hard reset

    Dear Apple Support,
    Bought my refurbished Apple Ipad 4th generation 2 weeks ago directly from Apple.  Tonight it went to a blue screen.  I tried over and over to force a shut down with the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button, to no avail.  I do get the screen now that tells me to hook to ITunes via my computer and the directions say to use the cable that came with my tablet.  However, I did not receive a cable with my tablet, only the lightning plug to recharge the battery.
    Could you please tell me what to do, as I am devastated since this tablet is only 2 weeks old.
    Sincerely,
    Pauline E Booher

    If you got it from Apple just two weeks ago, I would just drop into an Apple Store and they will set you up in no time flat!
    That cord they are talking about is also the very same cord used for charging. In other words, there is only ONE cord, and if you got one cord, that's it.

  • Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

    I just Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

    dunno, Lynn--maybe Etrecheck. trying running disk utility to verify the status of your hard drive. That may give you a basic idea. Perhaps tech tool pro.  As for it running hot, I can't say for sure. try shutting it down and using a vacuum clearner +crevice tool around the back of it.  It's been my experience that hard drives usually fail without a lot of warning, luckily you have a backup. Afterwards you can say "Yup, that went bad".  I've done a little research and found out that your MacBook Pro doesn't come with a conventional hard drive as such, but an SSD (solid state device) . It's upgradeable (up to 1 TB ) but not cheaply
    go here for more info (OWC) :http://eshop.macsales.com. For right now, I'd recommend resetting the SMC/PMU, maybe zapping the pram . to do that, reboot, hold down Apple+Option, P+R keys while rebooting. Hold down for 3 chimes, let go and let it boot. as for the SMC thing....
    I'm assuming your battery isn't removeable-shut down computer, plug in MagSafe cable . On built in keyboard, on left side, press Shift-Control-Option and power button at the same time.  release all the keys and the power button. press power button again to turn on computer
    that is all

    MacBook Pro i5 with retina will not recognize WD Passport even though I successfully used it to transfer programs and files from my older MacBook ten days ago. It receives power from the USB, but when using Time Machine I receive the message that there is not an external device connected.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • The fan on my macbook will not turn off

    Please help.  the fan on my macbook will not turn off.  Also, my battery is no longer showing a percentage.
    Thanks

    Hmmm.  You have done the basics.  If you open the ActivityMonitor app in the Utliities folder,  select CPU usuage in the column-  flip it so highest % is on top.  Is ther an app in that column that is spiked?  Quit that app.
    You can run the Apple Hardware Test by booting holding the D key on restart,  this may generate an error code. Not the most complete test but it is a start.
    If no AHT- Boot off your Install Disk while holding down the d key, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
