  • My MacBook pro won't turn on, even though it's fully charged. I can hear a disk chime but nothing on the display. Help?

    I'm having an issue with turning my MacBook pro on. It's fully charged and when I press the power button I hear a disk chime but nothing happens on the display. Can anyone help please?

    Tried connecting the cable?  Still won't start?
    If you are still under warranty and/or have AC, call them & let them deal w/it.
    OOW:  Take the MBP to your local AS or an AASP.  Diagnostic testing is FREE!

  • MacBook Pro won't turn on even with green light on charger

    i have a 2010 MacBook Pro. The battery has been permanently dead for years but it still turned on as long as I had the charger connected. Eventually the charger stopped working so I bought a new one. The light is green on the charger but the MacBook won't turn on now. I tried that reset thing as well as opening up the bottom and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery and that didn't worn either. I pressed the button on the side and there's green flashing lights so its definitely getting power it just won't turn on. I don't know what else to do at this point.

    Was that 'reset thing' a SMC reset?

    If so, a new battery may be the cure but bring the MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a definitive evaluation first.

  • MacBook pro (late 2008) shutting down even without the battery

    Hello
    I have a MacBook pro late 2008 model, recently it started to randomly shut down.
    I have tried the following
    - Reseting Pram
    - Reseting the SMC
    - Recalibrating the battery
    - New hard drive
    - Returned to original RAM (from 4 to 2Gb)
    - Removed the battery and run with the MagSafe only
    - Downloaded a fan control program to run it at max and verify if this was not a heating issue (although this also happens right after starting the laptop)
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm already loosing hope on my Mac :(
    Thanks for any help that you could provide

    Hi V,
    Even though the symptoms don't match up exactly, you may have the NVIDIA issue. First, go to System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays and see if you have the GeForce 8600M GT GPU. This is the GPU covered under the free repair program. While there, also look at PCIe Lane Width. If it says anything other than x16, the GPU has issues (but this is only one potential symptom). If you have the 8600 GPU, bring the MBP to an Apple Store or AASP for free testing. If Apple's free test confirms the issue, repair is free. Read all about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    Also, whether you have the 8600 or not, you should run all the updates in Software Update.

  • Macbook Pro won't turn on after clicking the power button.

    I left my laptop on sleep mode yesterday night but when I tried to use it this morning the screen stayed black. I than turned it off and when I clicked the power button to turn it on again, only the fan turns on but the screen stays black. This occurred last time and the apple tech clicked some buttons and it turned on.

  • Sometimes my iPod shuffle (4th gen) won't turn on. Though the battery is fully charged. I usually connect my iPod to the mac so it will turn on. Why is that?

    If i not use my ipod for a times, it will turn off automatically and won't turn on. Please give the answer. My ipod is new.

    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    - Next reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    and try making a backup again. If you can't then there is no way of getting the info off the iPod unless data recovery company can do it. Not cheap.
    - If photos are in an existing iPod backup (iTune>Preferences>Devices  for iTunes backup or an iCloud backu) then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • My iPad wont turn on and shows the charging battery icon even though the battery is charged

    Any ideas?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    More likely you will need to reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • MacBook Pro - Finder Error Code 0 even though the external hard drive is setup as journaled Mac OS Extended

    Hi guys
    It's starting to irritate me that I still can't copy folders of more than 4GB to my external hard drives. I've checked some websites that told me that the external hard drive should be setup as "Mac OS Journaled", but when I check this via Disk Utility, I find out that they are. What is another solution for this problem, cause it takes a lot of time to select folders within folders within folders to copy to the external hard drive, instead of just copy and paste the main folder...
    Thanks in advance!
    Bob

    Okay so today I've erased one of my external hard drives, and reformatted it as "Mac OS Journaled". If I copy a huge folder on it from my MacBook to the external HD, there's nothing wrong and it goes fine.
    But then when I try to replace the folder with a more up-to-date version on my MacBook, the Error Code 0 shows up again.
    So: reformatting didn't work out. Putting huge folders on it goes fine, but replace them with a newer version of the huge folder, doesn't work.
    Any solutions? Please?
    Thanks guys!

  • Help - MacBook Pro won't turn on

    Help - my macbook pro will not turn on even though it is plugged in. Holding down the power button is ineffective. The power cord has the green "charged" light, but when I plugged it in, it wasn't charged and never did charge (the light never was orange). The computer worked perfectly this morning.

    Will it not turn on at all or do you just get a gray screen?
    If a gray screen, look at this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5282
    If it does not turn on at all, try a SMC reset:

    If the reset fails to bring life to the MBP, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    If this doesn't work then you will need to erase the drive and install Snow Leopard from scratch:
    Erase and Install Snow Leopard
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. When completed quit DU and complete the Snow Leopard installation.
