  • My MacBook Pro Retina won't turn on! Yesterday I installed the new updates.

    So it's fully charged. I used it without any problems last night, then shut it down. This morning when I tried to turn it on, it won't. I have Lion installed and am up to date with all of the software updates. There is a green light in the AC adapter. What should I do??

    I know this post is from back in September of last year, but I wanted to comment for posterity to say what worked for me with my July 2012 retina MBP refusing to turn on. From the link preludio posted above: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Use the "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own" method (ie., for all Macbook Pros early-2009 and later). Worked perfectly for me:
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2  seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?

    My MacBook Pro 13" won't turn on 90% of the time I try to get it running, and when it does turn on, even on a charger, it shuts down if I stop using it for 2+ seconds and it won't turn back on. Should I replace the battery?  It doesn't hold a charge either...

    EmadJamal,
    the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
    Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

  • How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

    You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

    A four year battery could be dead. I'd contact an Apple Service Center.

  • HT1338 my macbook pro airport won't turn on! What would be the problem?

    my macbook pro airport won't turn on! What would be the problem?
    I've tried to turn the airport on and it says my airport card is not installed...
    it has always worked till today... bot from now on nothing seem to help the airport work...
    Please help me!
    Thanks

    You could try deleting the airpot from the sidebar of system preferences/network. To do this,
    1)  export the preferences for your airport to your desktop by pressing the gear next to the plus and minus sign above the lock. 
    2) Delete your airport from the sidebar using the minus sign while the airport is selected.
    3)  After deleting the airport, apply the changes and then press the plus sign to create a new airport. 
    4)  Then import the preferences back in and apply the changes again.
    This may bring your airport back.  It worked for me.  Alternatively, people have been having success with changing the location of the airport. 
    Good Luck.

  • Bluetooth Macbook Pro Retina Won't Respond or Turn Off

    I have a wireless trackpad paired to my Macbook Pro Retina via bluetooth. This has been working fine for a fair few weeks up until the last few days when the trackpad stops working and starts searching for bluetooth, but my bluetooth says it's on. I try to turn off the bluetooth on the Macbook and it will not turn off. It just freezes and stays "on" but not working. In addition, every time I try to access the bluetooth settings, everything on the setting page works except for the "turn bluetooth off" button.
    The only "fix" I have found so far is to restart my computer which is a huge hassle. Anyone else with this problem or know how to fix it?

    A couple of things to try,
    SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
    NVRAM/PRAM reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    You may have to reset some of your prefences after this, including the BT set up, as this "flushes" out the set up which may have become corrupted somehow.
    If no joy post back, there are a few other things to check.

  • Macbook pro retina doesn't turn on for a day or two

    Macbook Pro Retina     13-inch Late 2012
    2.5GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
    So this is a weird one... I recently purchased a used Macbook Pro Retina and the previous owner had upgraded the hard drive for a bigger size. My macbook worked great for a few days but then one night I closed it and the next day when I opened it, it would not turn on. I tried rebooting the battery (SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION and POWER) then hitting power but NOTHING. At one point, I heard a clicking sound when I would leave the power button down. Then... two days later I push the power button just because and BAM! The screen comes on. (I didn't hear the start up sound, and it wasn't like it restarted.) It was as if the screen brightness was all the way down but then came back. (I kept trying to adjust that too before it turned on).
    I don't understand!!! Two days later, same thing happened. Then again, it turned back on a day later.
    The only thing I noticed that was weird was when I connected it to my tv with HDMI cable. The laptop screen would freeze and get distorted and I would have to force a restart (the black screen with the apple would appear and the loading bar as if I would updating the software).
    I'm soooo confused and I don't want this to keep happening. I would appreciate any type of help or advice!!

  • Macbook Pro retina will not turn on

    I bought a 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 13" off Craigslist today.  It will not turn on.  I tried resetting the SMC and disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.  It will still not turn on, the battery has been charging for 2 hours already and it's still amber on the magsafe.  It still has warranty coverage until 2014 so my next stop is the apple store.  I thought I could fix it myself but it is pretty tough to narrow down the cause.

    I tried those already, did not work.
    I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
    but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
    Any input would be great!

  • My new macbook pro retina won't connect to my iPhone 4s via bluetooth

    Just bought macbook pro retina. have had iPhone 4s for two years and use it to tether my iPad to regularly no problem. however the macbook pro won't connect to the iPhone via bluetooth. it recognises it's there and a connection code is displayed, but when I enter the code it won't connect and the phone insists that I agree to 'forget this device'. how do I enable tethering so I can use the 3g signal to browse on my laptop whilst travelling please?

    Only thing I could suggest would be to "Reset Network Settings" on the phone (Settings> General> Reset>) . Of course, this will forget and delete any saved Wi-Fi or network configurations, but if that's not a problem for you then, maybe worth a shot.
    Although saying that, I think iCloud remembers old settings (if you are connected and sharing network configurations), so may not be a total loss.

  • My Macbook Pro Retina cannot be turned on. Although the welcoming chime is heard.

    I have a macbook pro retina 13. I tried to turn it on but only the welcoming chime is heard. Even the apple logo illuminates. The macbook also can be charged. Just that the  screen is black.

  • Have a 2 year old macbook pro that won't turn on--logic board?

    We have a 2 year old Macbook Pro that will not turn on. A computer repairman said it's probably the logic board. Does Apple warrant that or are we just out $1,700?

    When you attach the power adapter, does the led light up?  If so, what color?
    What happens if you press the external battery check button?
    Have you tried a SMC reset?

  • My Macbook Pro Retina can't turn discrete graphics on.

    I bought Macbook Pro Retina few days ago. Everything was fine, but yesterday my macbook couldn't switch to discrete 650M. And it can't do it now. I tried everything - Formatting SSD and installing everything again, switching between intel hd 4000 and 650M in system settings. In system report 650M is working, but when i play games i see low frame rates and i can't hear fans. One day ago this wasn't like that. There was high frame rate and i heard fans. Any idea what I can do with that?

  • MacBook Pro Retina, won't boot with USB3 attached.

    Hi!
    Enjoying my new computer(ofcourse), thought i ran into a troublesome problem:
    I plugged in Flashdrive 2, restarted and starting to hold alt to get into the boot menu.
    But it never showed up(tested for about 5min), the screen showed up in gray, but then no more action was seen.
    I pulled out Flashdrive 2 and had to hold the power key for a hard stop.
    Then started the computer as normal and the boot menu showed up just as normal!
    I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 1.
    And the very same course was repeated.
    Again I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 3 (with the very same ISO on it).
    The install of windows succeded without any problem at all!
    Note: When booted up in OSX i can read and format all the drives wiihout any type of error.
    Computer: MacBook Pro Retina; RAM: 8gb, SSD: 256gb. MacBook Pro and Air Update 1.0 Installed.
    Flashdrive 1a: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Ubuntu, bootable.
    Flashdrive 1b: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Empty
    Flashdrive 2: Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB USB3; Windows 8, bootable.
    Flashdrive 3: SanDisk 4GB USB2, Windows 8, bootable.

    But you may want to take it in to an Apple store as this type of thing should not happen on a New computer.

  • Macbook Pro Retina won't drive HDMI out

    So I was talked into the new MacBook Pro Retina in place of a new Mac Pro by the guys at the Apple store.  I told them I needed to drive 4 displays and they assured me the MBPr would do that.  2 from mini display ports.  1 from HDMI and it's own display.  Fair enough.
    Only, the HDMI out seems dead.  I am running two Dell monitors on the mini display to DVI connectors.  I am trying to run a 3rd Dell monitor on HDMI to Disply port but am getting no signal.  None.  Nada.  After a few seconds the monitor tells me there is no signal from the computer and it shuts down. 
    I have seen a lot of other issues around the HDMI output.  Anyone know the status?  Has Apple bugged this?  Is there a fix in the works?
    Thanks!
    Charles

    Try with just the HDMI external; display. I would suspect the HDMO cable if this test does not work. Tray a new HDMI cable. If the new cable does not work, take the computer to an authorized service center. There is no "bug" using HDMI to an external monitor.
