I think my computer over heated and now won't charge! Can that happen?

I had my laptop plugged in and I notice the charger and the computer where really hot. So, I unplugged it and started it up and everything was fine. The next day however, my computer won't charge and the bright green light that appears when you plug In does not light up. Mind you, a dim green light that is always on the charger is still there. Any help?

iphoto is on grey disk 2 (applications/apple hardware test) that originally came with the computer.

    my hp compaq presario62  has been over heating and mostly  shut down  what can i do?

    You can try a usb cooling pad but I am not a big fan of them....if your laptop needs one there is a problem that needs to be fixed. The likely issue is a clogged fan and cooling system which requires disassembly and cleaning out around the fan and heatsink, removing the heatsink and appplying new thermal compound. You can also perhaps help by using compressed air blown into the heat vents.

  • Maverick slowed my computer to molasses and now won't install

    I am so mad that I went for the upgrade, it's cost me a day's pay so far trying to get it to run. At first, my Adobe apps would take minutes to open and everything was just running ridiculously slow. My iTunes would open at Login along with Excel and Spotlight was stuck in indexing mode. I rebooted in safe mode Command R and ran disc utility and went to reinstall the system again, after 48 minutes the progress bar was almost complete and I receive a warning message that the software failed to download. Aaaaarrrgfhhh%&*(())_)!!!!!
    Anybody out there suffering like me?

  • IPod touch dropped on the ground while charging and now won't charge

    Long story short, my wife was charging her iPod touch, one of our kids walked by and knocked the iPod to the ground and yanked the cord that was connected and now the iPod won't charge. If we wiggle the portion of the cord that's attached to the iPod (not the USB connected to the mac) it will make the sound like it is connected and then disconnects. We have found that if we sit the iPod a certain way sometimes it will charge but not 100% of the time. It almost seems like it is losing the connection in the cord but we have tried 3 different cords. Any suggestions on ways to make a tighter connection (think sticking the pencil in the old school Nintendo to keep your game cartridge to connect)?

    Worste case, Apple shoud exchange yours for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    This place does not mentions a dock connector replacement but you can call and ask them.

    I would first make and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify/determine the cause of the problem.

  • HP to Mac -- enabling scan to computer stopped working and now won't communicate

    I loved my officejet 8600 and had no problem printing or scanning wirelessly.  All of a sudden the scan function stops working.   I can still print without problem.  My printer tells me to go to my computer and "enable scan to computer".  But when I do that, it says "communication error.  Unable to communicate with device."  I did the things that HP support suggested -- downloaded new HP software.  Turned router, computer and printer off.  But problem persists.  I looked at the forum and it seems like other people had a similar problem but the posts are all from 2012 -- and I don't see any solution, the posts just end.  Some people in the string got it to work by downloading all the possible HP software, not just the minimum software -- but I did that and still not working.  What I don't understand is why it was working just fine and then it stopped?  Did some update get downloaded without me realizing it that put some kind of klitch into the works?  I want my scanning function back -- but this is above my pay grade.  Is there a way to get a live person at HP to talk to me?

    Hello Bellewales,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I found the following support article that explains the linking of your phone number and Apple ID to use with iMessage, including troubleshooting steps if it's missing on the iPad.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • My iPod said "Can not use iPod until cools down". I let it sit over night and now it wont charge.

    So last night My ipod brought up a "Can not use ipod til it cools down" message. Than I turned it off for the night and It wont charge. Is there something wromg with my iPod?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar              
    However, I suspect a hardware problem and the Apple store will likely be necessary.

  • New battery run dead and now won't charge at all. Put in old battery and system runs fine just that battery is no good.

    Old battery in MBP is testing bad so I purchased a new one. When I cycle the battery as soon as it totally drains down it will now not take a charge or even boot my computer with the cord plugged in. I have tried many many dif things to get it to run, so far nothing has worked. I put in the old battery and it boots right up.

    my computer broke down and now i bought a new  Mac,  how can i get my music back from iTunes??

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.
    FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • Installed Trend Micro Smart Surfing on new MacBook Pro and now it has caused error that won't let computer boot up.  How do I get it to a point that I can delete program?

    Installed Trend Micro Smart Surfing on new MacBook Pro and now it has caused error that won't let computer boot up.  How do I get it to a point that I can delete program?

    Try booting up in Safe mode (holding down the Shift key while booting). If the software came with an unistaller, use it to remove alll traces of the software - it's nothing that you need and, as you've experienced, can do more actual hard than good (as is the case with most software of this type). When you're booted in Safe Mode, if you can't run an uninstaller, at least check to make sure that there are no Trend Micro items that are set for automatic log in, at least.

    When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
