I've waited 30 hours and my Macbook still won't turn back on......

I am not sure what to do as my Macbook is still not working after waiting 30 hours. I plugged my iPad mini into my computer using the USB cable and my Macbook immediately shut off and has been dead since. No sounds. No light comes on when I plug it into the outlet. Just dead. Reading other posts it looked like if I waited, it would come back on, but I'm now at 30 hours and there is nothing. I tried reseting the SMC and still nothing. I really hate going to the Apple store, so would love a way to fix this myself. Any ideas or am I destined to go to the Genius Bar? Thanks for advice!

Remove the battery and the power cord. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds and release. Replace the battery, and the power cord. If your machine still does not power on, schedule an appointment with the Apple Genius bar. No amount of keystroke advice will bring back a dead machine that won't power on.

I downloaded silverlight to watch netflix but then my mac shut down suddenly and won't turn back on. How do i get it to turn on?

It's a brand new laptop and when i downloaded silverlight to stream netflix, it worked for like half an hour and then my computer just shuts down. i turn it on again and delete silverlight but a couple minutes later it shuts down again and this time it won't turn back on.

If it won't bong, then try an SMC reset.

My iPhone 5s has just shut off and won't turn back on. Please help?

I was just chatting on a app and the phone just froze, went to a white screen with the apple trade mark. Then it completely shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I tried charging it and it still won't turn back on.

Thanks for the advice but I've tried this it hasn't worked. I've held down both buttons together for more than a minute. Do I have to hold them down longer than this?

Turn phone sideways and it won't turn back

I've turned my phone sideways and wrote texts and the phone screen won't turn back when I turn the phone upright.
Also, when turning my phone sideways, trying to send a text using the microphone at the left of the keyboard, the screen goes blank. It still takes my text down and when pressing the button to turn the phone on, ends my text writing.
Anyone else had these issues?

Update- took it back to Best Buy and questioned the screen going blank after I hit the microphone button to try and send a text. Guy told me it was 'user error' because I could make it do it, but he could not. He said it was "well known" through i-Phone users that the phone is supposed to be powered down once a week, however I know many people who have this phone who have never powered down and still do not seem to have the issue(s) I am describing. Bottom line I could not return (has not been 30 days) because he could not show valid reason.

Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

OK.
How is your computer connected to the internet? Wireless? Wired?
What kind of internet service do you have where you are (cable/DSL/dialup)? If you're not sure, run a speedtest from another computer (preferably wired to your router). I use http://speedtest.net. Don't click any of the ads that claim to "Speed up your Mac". Write down and post the download and upload speeds.
Do you have an Apple Store near you? If so, you could go there to download the OS. Or find a location (an office? school?) that has faster internet.

My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode. I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails. I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything. I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode. I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner. I had saved the scan to my desktop before I tried to import it.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update. You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time. And of course make a backup of your whole library first. It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates. Better safe...

Macbook Pro died and won't turn back on

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro 13' (it's about 1.5 years old). I was on it a couple of hours ago when I got the running on reserve battery indicator. Before I could plug the charger in, it died. I have had the charger in for over 2 hours now and it still won't turn on. The green light is on on the charger. When I unplug the charger the first battery strength light flashes on twice but that is it. When it is plugged in the battery strength lights do not go on at all. I have been searching for an answer for over an hour but can't seem to find one. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It's a possibility, magsafes are known to do all sorts of strange things (I've had tons of replacements), but more than likely it's your battery. Does a friend or family member have another charger you could try? That's how you'll know if it's the battery or charger. If not I would say take it to an apple store to try it out!

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
If this doesn't work then you will need to erase the drive and install Snow Leopard from scratch:
Erase and Install Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. When completed quit DU and complete the Snow Leopard installation.

I deleted my iphone with icloud because the phone was lost but it been 16 hours and the phone still without response what can i do

Yesteday i lost my iphone and i delete it withfind my iphone this morning my iphone was return but is been 16 hours and the phone still deleting itself with only the circle on the front i tried a hard reset but dont work and the imac dont even recognize the phone. WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE?

I have read a number of threads with the rotating circle in the middle of the screen. Some have been able to Reset by holding down the Sleep Button and the Home Button until the Apple Logo shows up and then wait for a lock screen. This had to be done several times in some cases. Others suggest letting the battery totally run down and then charge for at least one half hour. Then do a Reset again.

I've waited 30 hours and my Macbook still won't turn back on......
