HT1349 For some reason, when I pressed the power button...
When I went to go turn on my MacBook pro with Retina Display, the screen remained blank and black. In addition, the fan (it sounds like the fan) in the hard-drive of the laptop is making a lot of noise... what is wrong with my computer? It has been going on for about 10 minutes now.
The first thing I would try is press and hold the power button until the fan goes off, then perform an SMC reset.

PLEASE HELP!!! I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone. For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS. WHY? I have spent almost 2 full days simply trying to get the cellular data network settings to appear and I am now at the point of pulling hair and/or smashing things. Why is it so difficult to simply update the cellular data network APN settings on a standard Iphone 3 ATT with a unlimited Straight Talk plan? Everyone knows that Straight Talk's $45 a month unlimited data/calling plan is supposed to be 100% compatible with AT&T carried Iphones. Will someone please tell me HOW TO UPDATE THE APN SETTINGS ON THIS IPHONE 3. Thanks and God bless
<Personal Information Edited by Host>StraightTalk is not a supported carrier.
Contact them for support.
FYI, unless the device is officially unlocked from AT&T, you will not be able to use it on another carrier. -

Hallo ,I have an IMAC 21.5. which does not start.When i press the power button i hear only beep with an interval of 4-5 seconds.Some times when i take off the RAMS and put them again then get a white screen and shows that i have to insert a bootable device.Then i bought OSX mountainlion on line and wrote it on a DVD and tried with a USB key board to start the DVD.But does not work.Please help me to get this imac work.
Thankyou in advance for your help.
TerrenceHey terremo,
Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row!
What should I do?Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

My probably 10 year old MaycBook died. It won't start. When I press the power button, it gets power, but it only lights up and a scratching noise starts like something is spinning. A file folder with a question mark periodically flashes... Help!!!
You don't have a Macbook if you are running OS 9 and it's 10 years old. The first Macbook is an Intel Mac that came out in 2006 running 10.4.x. You most likely have a Powerbook. Try posting in the Powerbook forum.
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac -

when i press the power button and the "home" button it lights up the screen. however.... the screen is magnatized like 300% percent. and i cant open it or anything becasue it wont let me move the screen!!! what to do??
Yup! I've been there! You just have to double-tap the screen with three fingers and the zoom should go back. You have to turn off the feature in Settings>Accessibility>Zoom>and turn the switch off so this won't happen again when you double-triple tap.

My MacBook Pro won't start it just goes beep beep beep when I press the power button
Hi Csound1,
I haven't added any RAM my daughter was using the computer then it hung so powered it down then the beeping started. Do you know if there is a combination of buttons I can press when powering up that will put me in some kind of safe mode so that I can find out what's up, I tried pressing D when the beeping started but it didn't make a difference.
