I am unable to start my MacBook Pro.

I need help how to start my MacBook Pro

Push the Power button. Need to know what does or doesn't happen when you do that.
If nothing happens the system is dead and will need to be either replaced with a new one or your present one fixed, parts replaced.

When I start my MacBook Air, I get a problem report on the Time Capsule 802.11n. When I click Continue, it asks for a password. I don't know what the password is because I didn't set this up. How can I find out what the password is?

Recovery system failed and now I can't seem to find a way to start my MacBook

My MacBook Pro 13" had been giving me small but recurrent problems lately. Every couple of days for the past two weeks the spinning beach ball had been showing up and the Mac ended up asking me to hold down the power button to turn it off and then restart the laptop.
I checked and repaired the HD via disk utilities. It said it was repaired but it didn't make any difference.
Yesterday the beach ball appeares much more often (every half an hour, or less) so I decided to start in Recovery mode (cmd - r) and then just fully recover the system from the external HD I use with time machine.
That's when it went even worse. The recovery from the back up failed saying I should try again but when I try to start the MacBook only does two things: one - if I don't hold anything down it gives me an error and makes me force shut down the computer, which gives me the idea that everything is erased from the hard drive. And two - if I try to press again cmd - r, first the apple logo shows up and then it changes into the prohibited sign. It keeps thinking for longer than 5 minutes.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Is there another way to try to recover my time machine backup from the external HD?
What kind of problem could be causing all of this?
I have to add that as I'm traveling and away from home I don't have with me the system CDs that came with the MacBook.
Any ideas on how to try to restart and recover my MacBook?

Make sure you get the Original Replacement set of system discs. That usually costs more than $20. Some where around $40. What it sounds like is whoever you spoke to wanted to sell you a snow leopard upgrade disc. Which may work but it would not included the ilife applications. You really need the Original system discs, not a upgrade os disc.
You have to be specific when you call them. You have to state you need the Original system discs. To get them you have to give them the serial number of the system. If whoever you are speaking to never asks for the serial number of your mac then they are not going to send you a replacement set of original system discs. You need to ask to be redirected to the correct department to get the original system discs. Let me state again the Original system discs, not a upgrade os install disc.
Hope this works out for you.

Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

HT1379 A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. At first, I pressed Power & Option button and it recovered from Internet. Then, four options appeared but none of them are helpful. Could u please help me to solve it asap?

Hello,
A flashing question mark appears when I re/start my MacBook Air 2013. Then, I pressed POWER & OPTOIN buttons and internet options appeared for internet recovery. After internet recovery, the OS X utilities appears with four options (Restore from Time machine, Reinstall OS X, Get help online and Disk utility). But none of them seemed helpful. On the last option Disk utility, the icon created only with 33KB and other disk 1 Mac Os X Base system. On First Aid, the icon Repair disk is disabled. So I could not click on repair disk. Could you please suggest me how to solve this problem asap? Thank you so much for your help in advance!

You can try the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard 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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

''Note'' - the Menu Bar isn't needed, if you hit '''Alt''' or '''F10''' the Menu Bar appears temporarily for use - hide that and it's one less "bar" to worry about looking at
I'm in the same position, but from Firefox 0.8 ''(yes, before 1.0)'' up until the last year or so I was running '''one''' toolbar when I had one "tab" open. I didn't go with a "hide single tab" add-on when Firefox started showing a single tab because I always had 2 tabs open anyways so it wasn't a big deal for me.
It may take me a few months, but I am trying to configure Firefox 29+ to my tastes without using an add-ons solely with css code / User Styles.

How to start laptop without keyboard

MacBook (2 Ghz Intel Core Duo). Made in 2006, I believe.
The keyboard seems to be hosed. I spilled a bit of something into it, tried to wash it out with distilled water, dried it carefully. There seems to be something wrong with the "start" key. I don't know if there are other problems because the machine won't start.
I don't see any replacement keyboards on eBay.
Maybe I'll try to use it with an external USB keyboard. But how to start the machine without the keyboard? The start button is built into the keyboard.
Thanks in advance.

I have a question When using a macbook late 2006 with a bootcamp partitions to run Windows Vista Home Premium. And using a Itt-tech Microsoft 2007 Professional. What keys do you use to take a screen shot and print screen to Clipboard on Office Word? I new to Mac discusion forum. I bought my first mac In 1999 It was a Blue and white G3 with a 300 Mhz processor. With dial up internet!! Macs have come a long way.

Help! How to start windows in boot camp?

I have read several posts on this but I still cannot seem to get it started. I recently bought a macbook with bootcamp set up with windows xp. I had vmware fusion on my computer to use windows but I uninstalled it because I cannot use it for the purpose of windows that I need. Now, I do not know how to start windows on my computer. I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD. The boot camp drive does not show up. So, if I cannot start windows that way...is there any other way???
THANKS!

I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
It requires DirectX 9? Huh?
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD.
That sounds like your computer came with VM Fusion, and was not set up with boot camp. Please prove me wrong.
First, how many disk icons are on your Mac OS desktop? Is there just the Macintosh HD icon, or is there another disk icon labelled, say, "Untitled" or "Boot Camp".
Second, open /Applications/Disk Utility. Select your hard drive (not the Macintosh HD volume, but the actual hard drive, just above the Macintosh HD volume). Then click the "partition tab". How many partitions do you have. Does it show one HFS+ Journaled volume, or more than one partition and of what types.
Third, if you did see a second disk icon in step one, select it and hit CMD-I. What is its used and free space? Open it in Finder: is there a boot.ini file? A Windows folder?
Fourth--I should have thought of this first, sorry--some MacBooks have a bug that Option doesn't let you select an OS. So open Apple > System Preferences > Startup Disk and see if there is a Windows there for you to select. If so, select it and "reboot now" to boot into Windows. To boot back into Mac OS, you can either use the option key, or use the boot camp system tray icon to select Mac OS as your startup disk.
Finally, did your computer come with a Windows XP CD?

How to start/stop process flow from sql*plus?

Hi,
I've had a go.
How should I interpret the results of list_requests:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @list_requests

Whilst a process flow is executing the last query will list executions, all of which have status BUSY:

owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
As an aside, I will attempt to get rid of the READY deployment and deployment unit using deactive_deployment.sql
Now, if I attempt to use deactivate_execution.sql on any of the executions with status BUSY I get:
owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @deactivate_execution
Voer waarde voor 1 in: 396136
declare
FOUT in regel 1:
.ORA-20003: The object is not in a valid state for the requested operation

ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RTI_EXECUTION", line 774
ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RT_EXECUTION", line 90
ORA-06512: at line 4
owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
So all the seems to remain is to use abort_exec_request.sql
This does the job, but the script itself hangs.
I think it has to do with the l_stream_id not being checked again after the initial IF. I think it should probably be part of the loop condition as it is again reset in the do_acks inside the loop.
Cheers & thanks,
Colin
