HT3964 my MacBook pro 3.1 won't switch on.

When pressing the power switch, nothing happens. No screen, no fan, no disk noise. The power adapter is orange at the connector and the battery has for stay and one flashing light.
When holding the power the adaptor turns green.
I have tried holding for twenty second,
I have tried an smc  reset.
If anyone can help...

  • Spilled diluted orange juice on my MacBook Pro now it won't switch on, but the battery indicator is lit up and won't go off. it's been like this for two days now HELP :,-(

    I spilled diluted orange juice on my laptop, afterwards I switched it off to let it dry, switched it back on and it worked for about 10 mins then switched off and won't switch on again. The battery indicator on the side is constantly on. Please any advice would be extremely appreciated.

  • Upgraded the software on my MacBook Pro now it won't switch on

    I hadn't used my macbook for a while, software update was available , once installed I can't get the machine to switch on, it starts the process then switches off. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    If it's late 2011 it came installed with Lion 10.7. That means you should be able to start it up thus:
    Hold down BOTH the command key and the 'R' key. With them held down, press and release the power on button (don't release the command and 'R' keys).
    When you see the grey screen, you can release the keys. You should get to a recovery disk (after a minute or so). If you get this far, let us know and we'll take you to the next step.
    If the computer still won't power on, you've either got a flat battery (you are plugged into the mains right?), or a hardware failure. In the latter case, you'll need to take the mac to an Apple store.

  • Macbook pro retina battery won't charge fully

    Hello,
    Im not sure why but my 1 year old macbook pro retina 15inch won't fully charge. It gets to a charge between 75% and 88% and it will at that point stop charging.
    I have attached an image below that shows how the battery has stopped charging. I have taken very good care of this laptop and am very surprised to see such an issue.
    Thanks,
    FF

    Have you tried resetting SMC?

    Take each of these steps as needed, and check to make sure it hasn't been fixed with a reboot afterwards before trying the next step.
    Backup your data if you haven't already:

    If you use Airplay, see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6831
    If you don't use Airplay, be sure to upgrade to 10.9.2, using this update:

    Make sure your hard drive is not over 85% full.
    Make sure Spotlight is not indexing.
    Make sure Time Machine is not running when you do other tasks.
    Check to make sure you have not accidently/purposefully installed MacKeeper, as it will slow down your Mac:

  • I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

    I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?  Please??? :-)

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Start with the section titled Check the network.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

    I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air.  I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work.  The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything.  What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder.  So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air?  Whew!

    iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
    After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15" won't turn on.

    Macbook Pro Retina 15" won't turn on. The charger light is orange. I tried all tips that Apple provides on the official site -  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204267. Any ideas?

    If you purchased it from Apple directly, they have a 14 exchange or refund policy.  Keep that in mind when you go to the store.

  • My macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test

    my macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test, anyone else having any issues with this?

    Received an email from apple saying thank you for being in the beta test and they tell you to download the release version from the mac app store and install it. Done this twice and it says installed successfully after rebooting twice and doing the usual install of a new OS. However when it boots up and opens your desktop it still has the Feedback assistant installed and continuity and all the new features do not work at all. Making me assume that the final release has not installed at all. Spoke to apple on the Phone and they Don't know how to solve it. Except for doing a fresh OS Install. Which i would rather not do, but might have too. currently backing up my Mac as we spec to do it

  • My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

    My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

    If you are seeing a Red LED, you may have a faulty MagSafe Adapter.
    I remember reading that the orange light is produced by a combination of a Red and Green LED. If that's the case, It seems that the adapter isn't lighting the green LED properly at that time.
    I would suggest you seek service with your nearest Genius Bar (Apple Retail Store) or Apple Authorised Service Provider as they have access to diagnostics which may assist in isolating any hardware issues you may be experiencing.
    Cheers.

  • Updated to latest operating system on MacBook Pro and now won't let me drag files onto a flash drive.

    Updated to latest operating system OS X Mavericks on MacBook Pro and now won't let me drag files onto a flash drive.

    The Flash Disk must be NTSF formatted. Writing to NTFS requires 3rd party drivers (Tuxera, Paragon). Reading from NTFS however does not require these. So install NTFS drivers, or format the drive in FAT32 from Disk Utility.
    Hope this helps :-)

  • HT201364 I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    I have a brand new macbook pro, but it won't let me download mavericks

    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro.
    This MacBook uses a special OS X Mavericks version which is newer than the one available in the Mac App Store, so you cannot download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store now. Instead, if you need to reinstall OS X, you will have to do this through Recovery (hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting up).
    You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your Mac uses the same OS X version as all other Macs. This may happen when Apple launches OS X 10.9.2
