Ive never had any problems with my MacBook pro, but turned it off last night, now it won't turn on again...HELP!
so like it says, ive never had an issue. and now it won't turn on. it's plugged in to charge, and the light is green, as usual. I don't know what's happened, is there a way to turn it on at all? or am I going to have to take it into apple?
The Mac is inherently a Multi-User system, even if you are the only one who ever used it.
This means that System Directories are kept almost entirely unmodified, and all of YOUR files, including things that seem like "system-wide" preferences, are all kept under /Users/Your login/ in your private directory.
I recommend you re-install Mac OS X. That should restore any parts of the System you discarded by accident. Your files should remain untouched throughout the entire process, PROVIDED you have no pre-existing Directory damage.
If you are running 10.7 or later, hold down Command-R at startup, which will take you to Recovery_HD, and use Disk Utility to (Repair Disk). Run it again until it is stuck or finds no more errors.
Then re-download and re-install Mac OS X.
You should not need to do a "clean Install" [where one copies off all User files onto two Backups, erases the drive, and installs on a clean drive]. Any part of Mac OS X that was missing or damaged will be replaced by a fresh copy.

I've never had any problems with iTunes,
I've never had any problems with iTunes, and one day, without doing anything to it, I tried to open it and it said "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled it countless times and it still keeps giving me that message. I don't know what to do.
Hey grossa2,
First, here is a way to report an issue with your purchase:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933
Then, I'd go through this article, which helps troubleshoot a lack of audio playback in iTunes:

My Time Machine says there is no backup disk available. I've never had any problems with my time machine completing backups. I was away from house with my laptop for about 9 days so I'm wondering if there is something I need to do now that I'm home to get it working again. I'm not technologically savvy, so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks,
JanaYou can lose your ability to backup through TM for any number of reasons, but the most common is what happens after a update. If your drive still works, your best approach is to read this:

Hi, I rented a movie off iTunes but the there is no sound. I've bought and rented previous movies and I've never had any problems with the sound before. Is this some kind of glitch? How can I get my money back?

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing. -
My Ipod Classic wont charge or turn on. Ive never had a problem with it before this.
OK so long story short, I went to listen to my ipod this morning before school and it wouldnt turn on.
I thought it might have died and didnt really think anything of it. When I was done with school i went to go turn it on again, still nothing.
Now itunes doesnt register its even plugged in. I've never had a problem with it so im really frustrated it was fine less then 24 hours ago and now it wont even turn on. Its not even that old I think its two years old maybe three.
I've tried diffrent computers and different chargers still nothing.
PLEASE HELP!

thanks!Try the 5's... Reset / Retry / Restart / Reinstall / Restore > iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant

someone help me fix my phone i have had ios7 since it came out and it has randomly come up with 'Activation Required' never had any problems with the iphone so how do i fix this ?
Were you, by chance, running a beta version of iOS 7 on your phone?
If so, this will be the problem. You will need to log Into the private developers forum at https://developer.apple.com/support/ios/
If you are not a developer, you will need to seek help by way of your favourite search engine. -
Help please. I have a new Epson XP 520 printer and do not know how to set the CS3 print to get good results as my printed photos are now far too dark. Never had any problems with previous printers and despite changing settings have been unable to resolve.
System info? Exact print settings? Color management?

I am not computer savvy. I have a second generation itouch and have never had any problems with it until now. When I try to play certain songs, it will not play the song and skip to the next song selection. When I try to play certain videos, the message "This movie could not be played" appears. I contacted a tech spec who said it was possibly a format problem. How do i fix this?
This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.
