Mac Air will not switch on again

My Mac Air went completely black a couple of weeks ago and would not turn on. I have tried both the 'fixes' recommended by Apple support that time but it happened again yesterday.
I've tried thier suggestion of; SMC reset (ctrl, shift, alt and power hold) and also RP SMC (alt,cmd,P,R power and wait for the two chimes) but neither bring it back to life.
Its only two and a half years old - I thought apple products were more reliable. Apple support oddly go home at the weekend so I'm stuffed until Monday.
Do you have any other suggestions I could try?

The same is happining to me! i really need to get my school work, but its not turnig on ive tried everything and i dont even hear the two chimes... i have lots of apple products and not all of them are THAT bad...altough my mac air isn't working properly any more.

Hey Sarahbetts,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the MacBook will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install.

HT204150 Do I just take it as a given that contacts on an iPad and a Mac air will not sync?

Do I just take it as a given that contacts do not seamlessly sync between an iPad and a Mac Air?

If you've got all your ducks in a row, then they should sync.
Are they both signed into the same icloud account?
Are contacts turned on in icloud settings/system preferences?
Here's a test; log into the icloud account at icloud.com using a browser and lok at the contacts page. If there, then one of the devices managed to get the data to icloud, but the other is not syncing down (again, check to be sure both devices are connecting to the right account and that all is turned on).
If there's no data on icloud.com, then neither device is syncing. You must not have the settings correct.

HT1338 my mac air will not turn on

help me get my mac air to turn on

Found this in another post -- it should help, assuming you've tried simply holding the power button for 15 seconds already.
As a first step you could try an SMC reset followed by a PRAM reset:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

MY MAC AIR WILL NOT TURN ON

My Mac air has suddenly decided not to turn on! Please help! My aunt gifted this to me and it does not have Apple care. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Try a SMC reset:

If that fails to bring life to the MBA, make a genius bar appointment for a FREE evaluation.

Wifi password on my mac air will not reset

after updating the OS software the wifi network is not recognizing my computer and it will not accept the password even though i have confirmed it

Yes,
This has been a bit troublesome.
You can do either of two things,
Change your Airport Name.
Open "Keychain Access" then search for "airport" in the keychan program and delete all the "AirPort network password" entries that are associated with this particular Airport.
This should resolve the problem.

Mac Air will not pair with iPhone 5

I can not get my iPhone to connect to my MacAir--even though I go through the process and see the code number on both devices. After I click on connect an error message comes up that the MacAir in "not supported." Help

The iPhone DOES support Bluetooth profiles beyond audio.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
However, most profiles won't work with a Mac.

My macbook air will not switch on any ideas - how much is the support calls for a one off??

I cannot switch on my Macbook Air - It has power to it and it is warm under it - but nothing on the screen and pressing the turn on switch has no effect. Could it be the battery?? The screen?? or what - very annoying as it has only just had its warranty expired. I have been on to support and they want to charge me for the call - but how much??does anyone know the answers to my questions please xx

Take it to an Apple vendor/retailer to arrange for repair.

My mac air will not turn on. Totally unresponsive.

My macair is not turning on at all. No response when I hit on button. I am panicking

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

Will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

Sorry for the second post..
I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
To do that;
1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
2. Select Show Package Content.
3. Click on the Originals Folder
4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro. It is plugged in and charging but will not switch on. I try pushing ctrl, shift, alt and power together then release and press power again. The laptop goes to a white screen but switches off straight away. Any ideas?

Mac Mini will not connect to Air on bluetooth.

Mac mini will not remain connected to Mac Book Air when pairing with bluetooth. Pairing initially goes as expected providing the code. When pair is pressed the two systems connect for about 1 second and then system states that they are not connected. I am operating 10.9 on the Mac Mini and 10.8.5 on the Air

To my knowledge, you cannot connect two computers using Bluetooth. You can connect them, of course, via a network.
