Loud beeping and no start up on MacBook. Please help
After taking apart my MacBook today to try figure out a screen connection problem, I go to turn my MacBook back on and all I get is a repetitive loud beep 5 seconds apart and no start up. I have tried rebooting ram and re-seating it but still nothing. Please help!

I do not get a specific number of beeps, it simply just keeps going one beep every 5 seconds....or does this still mean no ram installed???
Check the seating of the RAM...

Can't start up my MacBook, please help.
I was watching "The Office" on my laptop and out of nowhere my MacBook just froze. I was able to move the mouse around but nothing on the keyboard was working. So after a while of waiting for it to begin working I decided to attempt to restart my computer. When I restarted the computer it took a long time to boot up and when it finally did a message saying "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". This happens from time to time and I am usually able to fix it by holding the alt/option button but for some reason it does not work this time. I have tried multiple times but I can't seem to get past the "no bootable device" message. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Now it is showing that the mac wants to start internet recovery. What does this mean?

Freezing and Beeping and Stopping! Oh My! Please help!
My son has been getting frequent messages past day or so to "restart computer."
When I logged on, the iMac froze. So I pushed the start button until it shut down. Then it started beeping loud three times in a row, then pause, then 3 beeps again.
It wouldn't stop beeping, so I unplugged it. Then plugged back in, and it wouldn't start at all!! completely dead!
After a half hour or so, it started and seems to be working normally.
I ran verify disk and repair permissions, No problems found.
My iMac is about 5 months old. I added 4 GBs ram when first purchased, and it's been working fine for the whole time. Updated to 10.5.4 with no problems. No problems at all until this.
Any ideas?Thanks, You are Right!! it was a ram issue. Tried reseating and etc. Ran a software program "Rember" that tests ram, and my computer crashed.
Finally I took out the ram and reinstalled the factory ram stick that came with the computer. No problems since then.
I sent back the faulty RAM to Crucial, and they are sending me new RAM. Will report back after I reinstall the new RAM. -

My Mac book pro won't start! It boots as far as the sign in screen and then everything goes black. Please help.
Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., “15-inch Late 2011”) and which version of OS X are you running?

I have the newer version of the macbook pro and I have read the directions on how to authorize your computer to let you download previous song purchases from icloud onto your laptop, but I cannot find where it says "authorize this computer" at all. I have looked for it everywhere and still cannot find it. Please help!
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us. -

Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!
Hi ..
Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup -
Whenever I try to download an app, it always says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even though I am connected to wifi three bars. And sometimes it just goes blak and quits the app. Right after I downloaded iOS 6 this started to happen. Please help me.

iTunes will not open at all. It looks like it will and then it doesn't (the windows loading symbol appears and then it disappears). I even tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading it again and installing it, nothing works! Please Help!
1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR. -

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?

My iphone 5 is no longer charging with new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help.
My iphone 5 is no longer charging with a new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help. It just started happening this week and I have tried everything. Is this a software / driver problem? We all know the battery doesn't last a full day if you "use" your phone like a normal person. I am very frustrated! My daughters iphone 5 started doing this a few days later than mine as well.
Not much help I'm afraid but I use my iPhone 5 like a 'normal' person and it's battery almost all day. Perhaps there's a hardware fault somewhere? Have you tried the usual reset and restore?

I have QuickTime Player 7.6.8, I cannot update or remove it b/c I am missing QuickTime.msi file. It is gone and I need it back. Please help.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
