New macbook pro fail to respond to the power button

Why did my new macbook pro fail to respond to the power button?
I have a new 13" MacBook Pro Retina (10.9.1) which I have been using for about 3 weeks. I am new to Mac and am in the process of making the transition from Windows XP.
Today, with the battery at 100% and the power lead disconnected, I left the mac with the lid closed but, when I returned, it did not come back to like when I opened the lid. Also, it would not respond to the power button.
After some web searching, I managed to get it back to life after resetting the SMC.
Is this a software problem, or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?

Highly unlikely that software is involved - especially since resetting the SMC corrected the problem.
Unless it happens again, I would forget it. If it occurs again, take it in for warranty service.

HT3964 My Macbook Pro did not respond to the power button, and I ended up resetting the smc. After that, it would start, but the keyboard would not respond, pnly the trackpad. On the screen there is a symbol with ahorizontal white bar and a row of empt

After resetting the SMC the keyboard is inoperative. On the start screen appears a traslucent square with a horizontal bar in white, and a row of empty dots below (the same format as for example the brightness symbol). I cannot turn the Mac off with the power button, only with the trackpad, clicking on the turn off symbol on the screen.
When I try to login with my username, no characters appear as I type.
I can login as a guest, but from there I can do nothing, because the keyboard is still inop and if I wanted to, for example, have the software updated, I need to type an admin login, which is impossible.
Thanks for your help

What happens if you close the lid? Sleep?
In your place I would use sleep state to reset PRAM, as it can resolve your graphical mess.
Your keyboard likely was not powered after SMC/PRAM failure, so you will need to open MBP cover without opening the lid and disconnect battery power cable with insulated tools from logic board, wait for 5-10 minutes, then try to reset PRAM while keeping cover

New Macbook Pro 15 -when i remove the power charger the computer shuts down

Hello,
I just bought my new macbook pro 15 inch from my campus store (first mac- finally converted from pc) and i was loving it.
Then it randomly shut down. so i try to turn it back on... no response. so i plug in the charger and boots up so i forgot about it but then when i took the charger out it shuts down again. and when the charger is in the battery status is saying that its not charging. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks,
Andrew

Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery then if it keeps doing the same thing call Apple and make an appointment for them to take a look at it.

My macbook pro was on sleep mode, and when i opened it again, it wouldn't come off the black screen. It is very hot and also doesn't respond to the power button...

My macbook pro was "asleep". I opened it later, and the screen wouldn't change from black.. The bottom of the laptop is very hot and making a hissing/whirring sound. I tried hitting the power button to turn it off, but the conditions just stayed the same. It doesn't respond to the power button, and the screen just stays black. How do i fix this?!

I will go to the Apple store. I just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone had a solution. They repaired this macbook before twice. The last time they replaced several things to fix the screen. I just threw out the question to see if someone could save me the trip to the store.
I was curious if the new programs (like lego games) can cause the computer to run to a point to blank the screen.
And curious if there are other things I can try to get the screen up and running.

I have the G Drive 1 TB (GEN4 1TB) external drive purchased in 2010. I need to connect to my new MacBook Pro. I'm using the external drive for media storage of my video editing projects. Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work?

Will a 800fw to thunderbolt adapter cable work? I understand that using a USB port connection is not fast enough for video editing. I read somewhere the G Drives don't connect well to MacBook Pro.

I doubt this can be relocated or moved so you might want to just repost in the macbook pro area.

Can you afford a new Thunderbolt case and cable? any case with FW800 is going to be slow 72MB/sec and less, and any new 1TB drive is capable of 75MB/s minimum up to 125MB/sec.
Thunderbolt storage can of course when setup properly reach 100's of MB higher using multiple drives.
Use what you have for a system backup or for secondary backup storage.
you might be able to take the drive - most cases allow you to open and swap drives - and use this:

I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
Thanks

If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

I have a new MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message (from all different programs) that they would like to access the keychain "login". I have run keychain repair, and it won't stop!

I have a new MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message "Mail would like to use your keychain "login". How can I make this stop? I have run the keychain repair utility.

Hi,
With the Finder as the Front app go to the Go Menu > GO to Folder.
Copy and Paste the bold text below into the text field
~/Library/Keychains
Highlight the Keychain.
Use the CMD + i Keys together (Keystrokes for Get Info from the File Menu)
In the Info Panel that appears check the Ownership and Permission bit at the bottom.
Example Pic
Unlock Padlock
Check your Shortmname Appears (the (Me) one).
Open the Cogwheel icon
If it is Greyed Out to "Make "Shortname (Me)" owner then you are the Owner.
Check you have Read and Write Permissions.
You may need to check the Ownership and Permission on the ~/Library itself (you can do the same Get Info on Folders as well as Files)
If you don't Own it then, when you have changed that also Apply to Contents.

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care.

I am trying to load LR on my new macbook pro. It asks for the serial number. I enter the digits, but it says, quote, " This is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is also required."

If you still have the old computer and it is a MAC, the Lightroom 5 serial numbers are in a text file.

Why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal

why won't my apple tv sync with my new macbook pro, they are both on the same wifi signal.

Not sure of what? In your second response you said the issue was with airplay. You were also having issues connecting laptop to computer, which points to a laptop connectivity issue. I simply asked if home sharing was an issue as well, since that will confirm the laptop as the cause. Your response that home sharing is on doesn't really help since that doesn't itself have a bearing on airplay nor does it answer the question in regards to if home sharing is working on Apple TV
If you have a further question you will need to be specific.

My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.
