my ibook wont turn on... plugged in, not plugged in, with the batter in, without the battery in... nothing. i closed it like i normally do, instead of shutting it down, and when i went to open it again, i got nothing. so i took out the battery to get it to shut down so i could restart. and when i went to turn it back on, nothing happened... nothing happens and it is really frustrating. i just got my ibook fixed about 4 months ago because it would shut down, now it wont stay on. does anybody have any ideas as to what may be wrong. i really hate taking it into the store, the genius' here are not always the most friendly.
-stephanieI'm telling you. I have lost all faith with Apple. The old iBook I had, 800MHz G4, simply worked fine with no problem waking up or starting up, although it's just a bit slow. Now, I am super frustrated when it just couldn't wake up, either with the sleep light flashing or not, ie it's black screen initially and when I press the Power button once to get it back to life, it just stays black!!!
So the only thing to do is to force power down by pressing the Power button for 10 seconds. Then I press the Power button once to start up, but it just stays black screen. I've left my iBook in that state for a day now, hoping that it will come back alife. But no! And the worst is, I had a similar problem starting up from wake just the day before. I called the Help Desk and they advised me step by step, from taking out the battery, to pressing OptionsCommand+PR, and OptionsCommand+OC, and doing Apple Hardware Test. The iBook seems to just work fine while on the phone with them. And barely 3 hours later, the thing just couldn't wake up. I've powered down and up many times now, and I've left it powering up, but still black screen till now (one day already).
Finding out about resetting PMU on the support page, I've also tried that, but it still can't work.
And you know what? I've sent this unit for repair 3 times already! First they say it's the HDD problem, so they changed that. Then when it still happened, they say it's the logic board problem, so they changed that for me. And again when it happened, they changed another logic board for me. So now, it's the fourth time, what do you think I should do? I don't think going back changing another logic board will help!
I am in fact ****** off! If Macs are great, then why me? Why my iBook? I am telling this forum that we cannot accept a big corporation giving us sub-standard products. I've since read this forum carefully and found that many of us faced the same problem! We just cannot sit down idly and let the company get away with it. This is a warning to fellow users out there that face this same problem. Let us voice out our frustrations and make Apple give us some compensation for it. I say this because I depend on my laptop iBook for presentation to clients, and this happened exactly twice when I was in front of my clients. I don't mind losing face but can Apple compensate me for my loss of business and future business from my clients?
Voice out strongly your unhappiness to Apple now! -
How do I connect my Mac Book Pro to a projector I have the adapter but cant get anything on the screen
Go to your "screen settings". then chose "find screen" then you vill find the prosjector.
this will probably fix your problem.
if this dont works can it be something wrong with your adapter.
hope it helps -
what do i do if my ipod touch wont turn on/off, shows a white screen, wont do anything, and will not connect to itunes
Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
and restore as necessary. -

WHAT'S UP FIREFOX?????????
If you don't have an answer, then how do I get back to my previous version of Firefox with my home page and bookmarks? Or do we just need to go back to Explorer or Google Chrome? -
can anyone help with problem updating iphone5s cant get anything only apple on screen sometimes screen flashes blue
Hey damien555,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

I installed iOs7 on iPad 2 and now when i'm in iBooks and tap "store" i get a blank screen. Same thing in itunes, itunes u, app store, and a few other apps won't connect. Safari seems to be working fine.
I had this same problem. Tried everything the internet said including a full restore. Which was terrible. Nothing worked until.....go to general...reset....reset all settings.
You had to go back in and reset anything you customized afterwards, however it does not allow the store to load. Thanks! -
after running mac tuneup got a red dot on the hard drive icon, nothing would respond, now on restart cant get past white screen with apple logo, mac tune up disk still in laptop
Restart your MBP holding the trackpad down and hopefully the disk will be ejected. Then try to return it and get a refund or put it in the trash. There is nothing that software does for your MBP that you cannot do yourself or with free software.
If can get your MBP started, delete all traces of the offending software. Worst case is that you may have to erase the HDD and reload the OS and your user data. I trust that you have a backup (minus MacTuneUp).
Courcoul has given you his opinion in a very succinct manner, and as you might surmise, I agree with him.

activation server is down and i cant do it through itunes because my sim is locked, i cant unlock it because i cant get to the screen that lets me enter my pin
That is very particularly bizarre situation that as far as I know can only be overcome by borrowing someone else's unlocked sim.

My MacBook has crashed...it started with capitals letters sticking and always starting in safe mode and now despite efforts to restore from my Lacie externall drive I can't get anything on screen except a grey "stop" sign
Sorry just noticed I've probably posted this under the wrong forum header

my iphone states Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable - i cant get passed this screen to complete any of the resolutions i am being told to complete?
You can not "take an iPhone" to get it legitimately unlocked. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it, whch is done through iTunes by you.
Whoever you took it to hacked it. It is now most likely permanently bricked.
