2007 MacBook Battery won't lift out after unlocking latch, it seems to be sticky, please help?
The battery on my 2007 MacBook won't lift after unlocking latch. It seems to be stuck and rather sticky and therefore will not lift out to replace. What should I do?
Oh yeah when I said it wouldn't turn on I mean no start up sound, the fan thing not a sausage. The lights on the side showed the battery was fully charged and the charger had the green light on. Hope that helps
Thanks again

My 2007 MacBook pro won't boot up beyond a White screen any ideas what to do?
My 2007 MacBook pro won't boot up beyond a White screen any ideas what to do?
Odd how this hasn't been archived yet.
I'm getting the same thing with my Macbook, but can't boot past the white screen. An Apple store in KS suggested I needed a new hard drive, but I've already put two in there and it's still doing the same thing. I really don't want to buy another motherboard like I had to a couple of years ago.
My choices are either buy a cheap drive to boot from and remove the current one to put into an external case, or save the money by not buying a new motherboard and putting it as a down payment toward a Mac mini. -
I'm in trouble, my iPod Touch is giving 4th shock when recharge and the battery does not last any more. who knows or has a similar problem, please help me. Note: all this after I downloaded the new version OS5.
I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

Battery X, trouble powering up...I'm deep in the jungle, please help!
On Jan 14th I bought a new MacBook Pro 13" Retina from MicroCenter. I am traveling deep in the jungle in a remote part of Costa Rica and I started noticing that it wasn't holding a charge (at first I assumed it had just ran out and I didn't plug in the power cable properly). Yesterday I had to plug it in to power it up and I notice the battery has an "X" on it and says "No Batteries Available". I did a quick search online and decided to try a SMC reset so I shutdown the laptop, held Shift+Control+Option+Power, and tried to power it up but the computer would not turn on or do anything at all.
Next morning, comptuer was hot and fans were running high speed (it was not plugged into power overnight so it must have been accessing power somehow). Sometimes it powered up when clicking power button, sometimes nothing, sometimes the fans would start up. When it did power up, it wouldn't get past the grey screen before shutting down again. Then sometimes without even touching anything it would turn on again.
Been trying different keyboard startups but they don't seem to be working properly. Tried resetting PRAM with Command+Option+P+R but got nothing... holding down Option does nothing.... The only thing that turns the computer on is Command+R, but it only works if I release the buttons quickly...if I hold them down (trying to get it into Recovery mode) nothing happens. If I do manage to get it on, a few mins later it the window will pop up that say "are you sure you want to shut down?" but even if I click Cancle it shuts down, or just shuts down randomly.
Tried running Disk Utility and it can't complete Verifying Disk, it just instructs me to get into Recovery mode to repair disk which I haven't had any luck doing.
I have insurance through MicroCenter (same coverage as AppleCare + accidental) but I tried calling them and the Tech Support guy was useless... I have a lot of work I need to do here and would be happy enough if I could at least get it to work off of the power cable without the battery (even though that is tricky b/c we are running off of a generator so I would be limited to the hours that the generator is on) but I can't get anything done or do a proper Time Machine backup with it powering off randomly. There's no chance of getting to a Genius Bar or anything out here so you are my only hope! Please help me!!
LaurenSo this is not the computer that the device normally syncs with, iTunes is working exactly as designed.

It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it to the timeline, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.
P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

I have updated my Imac to Mavericks and now my parallells won't work and I have reinstalled as per the instructions. Please help as all my data is on a hardrive that is formatted for PC.
Yes I just discovered that this morning but I have purchased another external harddrive and formatted it for both and am in the process of transferring the files across it and then I will erase the old harddrive and reformat it so I can use it.
I have learnt to format harddrives from this experience but am happy to see the back of parallells.
Thank you for your help though it is much appreciated. -
