I can not turn on my computer what should I do?

My computer after freezing up and me force powering it off keeps giving me an error message that tells me to turn it off and turn it back on. I keep doing what it's telling me to do but the result is the same. I tried turning it on in safe mode but it wont. What is another way of rebooting/ restarting my computer?

Insert your original OS X install DVD and restart while holding the C key. Choose your language and at the next screen go to the menu bar on top and click the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility and repair your hard drive. Quit DU and Quti the installer, choose your startup disk and restart. Did it restart normally?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • HT5568 I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
    Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari?  Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder?  Is Safari failing somehow?
    There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so.  That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
    And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software,  cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X.  Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants.  Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere.  Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

  • My iPod shut off randomly and will no longer turn back on. I plugged it in to charge it, but after several hours it will not turn back on. What should I do?

    My iPod turn off randomly. I plugged it in to the charger, and after several hours, it still will not turn on. I even plugged it into my computer and pulled up iTunes, where it showed up on the screen as plugged in, but still it will not turn back on. Any suggestions on what I should do?

    - First try resetting the iPOd:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes, first from backup and if still problem to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I am using my time capsule to back up and I can not get the green light, what should I do

    Hi everyone
    I posted a quesiton yesterday and when I got up this morning the time machine / capsule (not sure of the difference) had unlocked itself!. The other problem persists and that is that the amber light continues to flash and I can not get the macbook to talk to the time thingy.
    Obviously I am not very good at these things and I live in a country where I-systems knows about as much as I do!
    Thank you

    So you have never actually used the airport utility.. you were almost there.
    You posted this picture.
    Screen+Shot+2013-03-15+at+13.20.55.png
    Click edit button on that page.
    Voila.. airport utility in all its manual setting glory.
    Or install a decent utility.. 5.6.
    This is not required but to my eyes.. it is much easier to understand and has more useful tool items than later versions.. which are made iOS pretty picture like.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.
