If you cannot get to recovery mode and can do nothing ....youll need to make an appt. with Apple for in shop full diagnosis and possible repair.

My mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

my mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

It's a mac book pro 17", OS X 10,5 . It worked perfectly but when I (or actually my friend) plugged the jack into the wall outlet it came a small flash (in the wall outlet) and then it didn't start up. No sound, no light on the screen. I didn't actually see what happened, but I asked if she plugged it in with the magsafe wire still attached to the computer, and she believed she might have. Is there anything to do? I have a couple of mac computers, two other mac book pro (writing on the newest one now - 13" - late 2011 - OS X Lion 10.7.5), if it could help.

My mac book air doesnt turn off and if i put the screen down doesnt sleep

My mac book air doesnt turn off if i click on shut down . it is not sleeping either. if i put the screen down it keeps turning on and the apple logo keeps blinking. it only turns off if i press the power button for few seconds . Please help. Another thing is condensation . i opened my mac 2 days ago there was water on keys and on the screen I guess extremes of temperature caused moisture to develop. What seems to be the issue with its turning off and sleeping. Thank God the water didnt short circuit it. Its still working but just not sleeping or shutting down normally. Please help needed. I love my MAC and cant afford to loose it ! HELP !!

You will want to show it to an AASP to have it checked.

My mac book air keeps starting in safe boot mode. I cant enter my password as it is caps lock so i cant access my computer. Please can someone please help me start back in normal mode? Thank you

MY Macbook air keeps starting in "safe boot" mode, no idea why. I cannot get into the system because this mode makes everything write in capital letters and my password is in lower case. I keep turning it off and on but nothing changes and i cannot access my computer. Please can someone help me? Thank you

I'm not getting a clear picture at all of what problems you're seeing. If you are seeing online accounts have their passwords changed, those accounts are being hacked. Someone may already have access to some account and is using that access to reset passwords on other accounts. Change the password on EVERY online account you have. Be sure to use a strong password, and don't use the same password on more than one site.
If you are seeing changes to your bookmarks and browser history, your Apple ID may be one of the accounts that has been hacked. After changing the password on your Apple ID, you need to lock it down with two-factor authentication:

Beyond that, we will need additional details about what specific symptoms you're seeing in order to help further. One thing I can say, though, is that these problems are very unlikely to be due to any kind of malware. See my Mac Malware Guide to learn more on that topic.

My mac book air can't start installation, because i use windows installation in DOS to make partion, now no mac os on it. How to get back the mac os? i have a window based iso image from a friend, because in my country there is no Apple service.

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

Mac book air (2013) doesn't start

Hi,
my mac book air doesn't start anymore. I used it yesterday, put it on the macsafe charger and took it off when the chargerlight went green.
Than, when I wanted to start it. Nothing happenend.
I used all the tricks. SMC reboot, shaking it, push all the buttons, tried everything I could find on this apple forum.
nothing happens, no sound, nothing.
Currently i'm on a world trip, so no apple support close for the next months
I really hope somebody can give me some advices...
I hope it will work again in a couple off days like other MBA owners with the same problem.
ALL your suggestions are welcome!

Did you reset SMC?

Mac Book Air, cannot exit Voice Over at initial start up

New Mac Book Air; initial power-up; selected English language; 'Welcome' screen defaults to 'United States'; cannot manually 'Continue' to register and set up; 'esc' results in starting the Voice Over tutorial; 'Command+F5' results in seeing/hearing 'Voice Over off'...can't get past this 'loop'.
Ideas???

I think your issue here is the combo of Lion on the air and the TC on latest firmware.
There is a longish thread here exploring the problem. Start from the end and work backwards.. as we become more intelligent as we try different solutions.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3526741?tstart=0
But you should ring apple support and get them working on it.. perhaps they already know of it and have a work around.. this is definitely a bug and lack of adequate testing to leave you in this situation.
I would say if you need to work through it yourself.. go back to 7.5.2 firmware if you are on 7.6.. just hold down the options key when you go to the top menu upload firmware, and the older versions will be listed.
Try with that, if not enough we might think through some more..
Your issue maybe more serious as most people are not losing internet just connection to the AFP share of the hard disk. Do you have another computer to plug into the TC by cable and see if you can check the logs and the TC wireless clients info?

HT6114 Slow start up on Mac Book Air second and fourth generations

Both of our Mac Book Air computers are slow at start-up. Average time to start-up is 41-65 sconds. Apple logo on screen with "circle" winding around... Any help our suggestions on how to reduce this start-up time would be appreciated.

If you go to System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items you will see a list of all of the applications that will start up when you turn on the machine. The only item i have in login items is 'itunes helper'. So for example, when i installed 'drop box' it was set by default to launch automatically when i turn on the computer. You can disable this in the app's settings or in 'Login items' window.
