  • I can't turn on my MacBook Air despite trying to hold down the power button and using the SMC method. BTW my battery charger lights up to a green when plugged into the laptop.

    Hello cass528,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Air would not power on.  I recommend following the steps in this article when experiencing an issue like this:

  • Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

    macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

    Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

  • My macbook pro will not start after pressing the power button

    I have bought a macbook pro last year and now, I have a great problem since a few months.
    My macbook does not boot up, I hear no fan noices and no LED lights are blinking...
    Battey is full, but nothing happens (means system will not start up).
    I have also tried to start with the Power button - but the similar effect "NOTHING HAPENS".
    What I don't understand is, if I do nothing for one or two days and press then the power button, the system will start up and full functionality for a few days.
    And anytime I get the same problem again... and must wait also for a few days.
    Can anybody support me please.
    Thank you all in advance and looking forward to a fast reply.

    Hi there nina777s,
    You may want to try resetting the PRAM and SMC on your Mac as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    When I have turned on my MacBook Pro it just sits there at the intial apple screen and doesnt proceed to the screen where you can sign on - any ideas

    when you restart the machine, make sure you uncheck the "reopen windows" check box, and see if that helps.

    It turns out that iCloud caused this issue. When I turned iCloud off my login screen was completely normal.

  • I can't turn off my Macbook pro since installation Mavericks

    I can't turn off my Macbook pro since installation Mavericks.  When I push the start/power button, a black screen appears. asa I touch anything, the desktop reappears.  If I push the start/power button long enough, it shuts down, but I cannot keep doing this forever ? What's happening ?  I made sure alle programs/windows quit before trying to turn off...

    Hi Biouche,
    the first three days after installing mavericks, the choice window you talk about didn't appear at all. (only that black screen and a forced "turnoff click" (which didn't feel fine to hear ;-)   But !  AFter the first three days, the choice window did appear again, with the choice to switch off/restart/etc.  so evertything back to normal (except, before the installation of mavericks, the choice window appeared already the same second after pushing the start button.  Now, it's like you said, waiting 2 full seconds.  still feels "scary", but anyway, at least i can turn off the macbook in a normal, safe way again.  So thanks for your reaction , a nice day toU2 ;-)

  • My macbook pro was on sleep mode, and when i opened it again, it wouldn't come off the black screen. It is very hot and also doesn't respond to the power button...

    My macbook pro was "asleep". I opened it later, and the screen wouldn't change from black.. The bottom of the laptop is very hot and making a hissing/whirring sound. I tried hitting the power button to turn it off, but the conditions just stayed the same. It doesn't respond to the power button, and the screen just stays black. How do i fix this?!

    I will go to the Apple store.  I just thought I would throw it out there to see if anyone had a solution.  They repaired this macbook before twice.  The last time they replaced several things to fix the screen.  I just threw out the question to see if someone could save me the trip to the store. 
    I was curious if the new programs (like lego games) can cause the computer to run to a point to blank the screen.
    And curious if there are other things I can try to get the screen up and running.

  • My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it.

    My mac pro wont start. I push the power button and I get a click sound. A few seconds later another click sound and that it. I've tried different power plugs. Going direct into the wall, through a power strip. By iteslf, with other devices plugged in. I removed hard drives, and some RAM, and nothing. Sometimes it would not turn on, and then some minutes later it works. So its was sparatic, but now its been the same situation for three days where it wont turn on.
    I'm guessing power supply, but I wanted to see if anyone had a similar expereince and what the solution was, before I drag this beast to my local Apple store and have them look at it. Its a real pain to get it there and back and I want to be armed with some info for them. I already dragged this to them when it first started to do this, and of course it started up just fine for them. And you know if it works for the Genius then theres nothing wrong with. No matter what you explain to them.
    I figure if anyone had a the same problem and was able to resolve it, I can relate that experience to the Genius even if it start up for them.
    Thanks

    Try a SMC Reset using the extended method:
    Remove the AC power cord.
    Press the power-on button. [This drains the stored charge from the power supply]
    wait a quarter minute.
    Restore the power cord, being certain to JAM it into the socket, as the big block of rubber inhibits proper seating.
    wait a quarter minute
    attempt to power on.
    If no joy, examine the button battery half-hidden behind the graphics card. Remove it to measure the Voltage. A new battery should not cost over US$5, and measures a little over 3 Volts. BR-2032 is used in garage door opener controls and car door locks controls. The geeks at Radio Shack can measure it for you.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • After install Mavericks I can't turn off my MacBook Pro from the power button.

    Dear all, prior to install Mavericks in my MacBook Pro, when I pushed the power button it appeared a dialog box which gave me the option to turn off the copmuter choosing the right option.
    After the installation of Mavericks,and obviuosly having the system running, when I push the power button it does just nothing.
    Does anyone have the same issue? Have someone solved it?
    Thank you very much in advance for your answers, for your attention and for your help.
    Kind regards.

    You can turn off this new sleep feature and restore the shutdown/sleep dialog box  to pop up when you press the power button.
    In Terminal copy & paste in the following command and then press enter:
    defaults write com.apple.loginwindow PowerButtonSleepsSystem -bool no
