My MacBook Pro died suddenly when I was removing a flash drive (LG up3 neon ps4) and is now both unresponsive and unchargable. Is there anything I can do to fix it on my own? (There aren't any apple stores in my current country)
My MacBook Pro died suddenly when I was removing a flash drive (LG up3 neon ps4) and is now both unresponsive and cannot be charged. Troubleshooting.... Is there anything I can do to fix it on my own? (There aren't any apple stores in my current country)
Hello antol1n1,
Sorry to hear your MacBook Pro is not charging or powering on. Sometimes a System Management Controller reset can help with the following charging and power issues:
Power
The computer doesn't respond to the power button when pressed.
A portable Mac doesn't appear to respond properly when you close or open the lid.
The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.
The battery does not appear to be charging properly.
The MagSafe power adaptor LED doesn't appear to indicate the correct activity.
To reset the System Management Controller on your MacBook Pro (with a built-in battery) , you can follow these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its 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.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Every time I close my Macbook Air and then go to use it again. My wifi is not connected, I have to go to the network diagnostics and basically find my network and reconnect every time. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
worksafe's link with the KeyChain fix is good.
This usually happens when KeyChain has two entries for the same WiFi network.
If repair did not work you can follow the manual steps:
Disconnect WiFi
Open KeyChain from Applications / Utilities and find your WiFi network entry(ies) and delete all of them.
Connect to your WiFi again. -
My Ipod got ran through a washing machine. I let it sit in a bag of rice for one week before trying to power it up or plug it in. When I place the Ipod on radio/alarm clock docking station the Ipod will power up and I am able to access what is on it, but it will reset itself every few minutes. Also it will not charge whil on the dock. I tried plugging it into the computer but it will not power up or register on the computer. Is there anything I can do to fix it at this point?
- After being connected tot a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect the iPod to your computer and and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPOd.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Sorry I missed that you said you dried it in your first post. -

My iPod Touch is stuck. I can't get it to power off. All that comes up on the screen is the Apple Logo. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

Does this involve iPhoto i some way? Seems more like an issue with your web browser.

Is there anything i can do to fix this problem?
So i downloaded windows 7 onto my 2011 macbook pro and everything was working fine until i tried to open a program and it said i didn't have enough free disk space to run this program. i quit all of the problems i could on task manager and now when i go back to my homescreen i have nothing there,no start screen, no programs on my desktop all i can see is my screen saver is there anything i can do to fix this problem of do i need to reinstall windows?
I don't think your use of " I downloaded Windows 7 " is being accurate.
You have to burn the ISO and INSTALL Windows, create a partition and all the rest.
And Windows 7 should have 40-60GB at least.
How large a partition did you create when you set it up? how much is free now?
F8 - safe boot to get in and you don't just need to quit but remove cache, temp, programs and more -
Go To %TEMP% and delete everything
uninstall what you don't need
Download and run CCleaner 3.20
Go to Disk C Properties : Disk Cleanup: System Files and remove everything there
You can free up 4GB probably or more just from that.
You should have 10GB or more free space for Windows
chkdsk
Paragon Camptune $20 can backup Windows image and resize HFS and NTFS partitions
You should have backup or more of Mac HFS already - TimeMachine and say bootable drive partition on external drive.
Real low space can prevent login to your account on startup. -
I let my cuzin borrow my ipod and when she gave it back the screen was not responding, my volume button is pushed all the way in and the lock button doesnt work very well. Is there anything i can do to fix it or anywere i can get it fixed?
well unfortunatley your warranty is over so the device is not covered, BUT sounds like you have interupting signals being sent from a stuck home button constantly being pressed and maybe even a digitizer problem (the touch screen). You can try to restore your ipod to your computer to see if it might be some kind of software related issue. Just restore to the last sync you have on iTunes. But FIRST...I would try to Reset your ipod.
Go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset all settings. -
After updating my iPod 4 and my iPhone 3gs to 5.1 it keeps turning itself off whenever I'm trying to load a larger web-page, or doing some hard operations. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod. -
I get a long list of Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServicesRemoteManagement..." every time I verify disk permissions. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
drwxrwxrwx
d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program
drwxrwxrwx

I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now I can't open the application Adobe ImageReady CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
There is no fix. It simply means that the software is outdated. Adobe would need to release a newer non-PPC version that supports Lion. They may have done that already, I don't know.
