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?

My ipod touch 4th generation isnt charging with my cable.
When i use my dad´s cable, it charges.
But, however, after it´s fully charged (which takes strangely only a minute), i use it for five seconds and then it goes off.
What should i do?- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable if available
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

As of yesterday, my Iphone 5 has started to shut down on its own. Batterys shows healthy charge and I'm yet to witness the shut down. I use it for a bit as normal, put it in my pocket and when I take it out again, it has switched itself off. I have tried a soft reset (Home and Power button together) and this hasn't solved the problem. Warranty ran out last week! Would a factory restore solve this perhaps?
Random iOS device shut down is a very common issue, this issue will be resolved in iOS 7.1 (which will be released by MID March'14). But restoring your iPhone will help. Check how to do it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

I have an Ipad2. All of a sudden when I touch an app or select anything, a box forms around the icon or word and then I have to tap it twice to open it. So everything I do I have to touch 3 times. Also now when I open some of the apps, they open, update then close down. How do I get rid of the box.
You might have turned VoiceOver 'on'. See if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and if it does then cahnge what Settings > General > Axxessibility > Triple-Click Hme is set to.
Otherwise your need to use the 'touch to select, double-tap to activate' process to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither -

Macbook Pro freezes, shuts off for 10 seconds, and then returns to normal
My 13.3" Macbook Pro has this issue of shutting off for 10 seconds and then turns back on to normal. Usually it happens whenever I wake the laptop with the lid open, whenever I open the lid "too fast" from clam shell sleep, and whenever I reopen the lid after when I realized that I needed to check something else. Every time I start using the Macbook Pro from these situations, everything works fine for about 20 seconds and then suddenly everything freezes and shuts off temporarily. Then after about 10 seconds, everything turns back on again. I do not know why this occurs, but I had this issue the 3rd week I purchased this. Is this a normal thing or is this an issue with possibly the motherboard?
take a look at this topic, maybe will help:

I bought the song "You" by Chris Young and the song "Yesterday" by the Beatles and they played fine for a period of time. However one day about 4 months ago, when I would play either song, the song would play normal for an amount of time ( "You" for 1 minute and 42 seconds and "Yesterday" for 29 seconds) and then the song would stop playing on my iPod touch 3rd gen. When I played the songs on iTunes, it would just go to the next song. I contacted Apple support through email, and they responded promptly with a reponse and a solution! The lady helping me accessed my account and made it so that the song "redownload" I guess because thats what happened when I signed on to iTunes and the two songs were loading. Well I think I heard the songs once or twice and now they are doing it again! The songs stops at those same times and will not play. What is the solution?
- Try a reset. it cures many ill and nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Does it play in iTunes on the computer?
- Delete the song and redownload it by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Ask iTunes for a redownload.

My macbook will not boot. It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off. I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM. I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.
Thanks
RichYou won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. -
i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!
I have exactly the same problem.
I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

my ipod 4gen keeps rebooting for 9 seconds then stops for 4 seconds, and it keeps repeating this, how do i get it to stop?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
