Can't start up my MacBook, please help.
I was watching "The Office" on my laptop and out of nowhere my MacBook just froze. I was able to move the mouse around but nothing on the keyboard was working. So after a while of waiting for it to begin working I decided to attempt to restart my computer. When I restarted the computer it took a long time to boot up and when it finally did a message saying "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". This happens from time to time and I am usually able to fix it by holding the alt/option button but for some reason it does not work this time. I have tried multiple times but I can't seem to get past the "no bootable device" message. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Now it is showing that the mac wants to start internet recovery. What does this mean?

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you want to know if your MacBook Pro will support a 4k display. Here is an article that will answer your question.

Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!
Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!
My MBP will not "see" my new MB or my back-up drive—both connected via a firewire 400 (6 pin) cable. Both running Tiger X.4.11
I have used this cable to connect my MBP and a TiBook in the past as well as to back-up onto the LaCie e-drive.
I have run "disk repair" and "permissions" on both machines.
BTW—"permissions" are regularly out of wack on the MBP. But, the disk is OK according to Disk Utilities.
I also cannot put the machine to sleep after logging out. Has a hard time shutting down as well. Sometimes I need to force a re-boot.
Can't run Disk Doctor because I don't have a bootable disk yet. It's coming via snail mail.
The new MB "sees" the e-drive connected with the same cable.
I can't transfer my files to the new MB nor can I back up.
Is it time for a "clean install"? Makes me nervous that I cannot backup before trying anything drastic.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance.
TekPut the more recalcitrant computer into Target Drive mode by starting it with the T key down until you see the yellow on blue screen. Then connect it to the other machine by firewire cable while both are already awake.
I hope that you did not do any upgrades while you had external drives connected... that is an automatic problem. Always disconnect from externals and accessories before doing any upgrades. Always back up before doing any upgrades.
Firewire networking is not the same as using a computer in Target Disc mode. In Target disc mode, you are using the internal drive of the Td computer as an external. That should allow you to run disk utility. Do use the proper disc utility version for the OSX version that is on problem drive. ie don't use the Leopard disc utility for the Tiger disc or vice versa. -
Hello!
I just figured this out.....When Firefox is open, my Illustrator CS2 modifier keys stop working?
As soon as I shut down Firefox, they start working again. Please help!
Thanks!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure.Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

My mom put my ipod 5th gen in the house somewhere and it was turned off. It is connected to the internet in the house. How do i turn it on with the Findmyiphone or something else? It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help! How do i turn it on without finding it because she can't remember where it was.
That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys -
"It is formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that iBooks can open". Can anyone help me with this message of a book that I purchased on iBooks, read, highlighted in the book and now I can't open it anymore. Please help!!!
Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.
