A glass fell on my MacBook Pro when it was open and now it won't turn on. Any suggestions?

A glass fell off a shelf onto my open MacBook Pro. It initially started making strange noises, so I tried to restart it and it froze. I then turned it off and now when I try to turn it on, the screen lights up with just a question mark and continues to make strange noises. Any suggestions on what I should do? I think it is insured so would the apple insurance cover this?

Accidents are not covered by the Apple warranty.
If the glass had water in it, you need to keep it turned off and unplugged until full water damage can be determined.
If just a heavy object, then the "questionmark folder" and funny noises suggest the image on the hard drive was injured or the drive itself injured.
I suggest getting it evaluated by Genius Bar. Too many variables currently.

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.

A four year battery could be dead. I'd contact an Apple Service Center.

Never mind. Sorry. It fixed itself.

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
Open a new Finder Window
Click "Go" in the above status bar
Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
Drag the files to the trash
Delete the trash
Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
Good Luck.

You should see it in your Purchases page of the App Store.

HT4061 We just updated our mom's iPhone 4, and now it won't turn on. When it does, it says "iTunes" and wants me to connect to it. Nothing I do makes it go away, and I can't get it to turn on. Help!

I just updated my mom's Iphone 4, and now it won't turn on. When it does, there is a "itunes" icon, with the cord picture, which is asking me to connect to Itunes, I believe. Can't get past this screen to even turn it on. What do I do without having to restore her entire phone, which I have no idea how to do that?

You need to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.

I tried to update my phone last night. When I woke up, it said it needed to be connected to iTunes. I restored my phone and now it won't turn on and keeps saying it needs to be connected to iTunes.

I was working on my iPad 1 and it turned off and now it won't turn back on. It was 50% charged and even when I connect it to be charged it still won't turn on. Is there a reset button?

I was working on my iPad and it turned off suddenly and now it won't turn back on. It was at least 50% charged and when I tried to connect the charger it still will not come on. Is there a reset button?

Thank you so much! It worked, I was reading around and saw this has happened to a number of iPad users. Thank you for your prompt response, I was so worried I broke it or something.

If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
Best of luck.

I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

What can I do? I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
If no joy...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Set Yahoo as you home page, and set firefox to open the homepage when it starts. (Not to open previous pages).
* see [[how to set the home page]] for detailed instructions <br/> all you need to do is drag the icon whilst you are on the page you require
* see also [[options window - General panel]]
