Hold the power button down for six seconds to turn it off. Wait ten seconds and then press the power button to reboot it again. This answer was posted by another user on the forumn and it just helped me out with my new MacBook Air.

what happens if my phone got water in it and never turned back on and having warranty?

Warranty is not relevant ,water damage is user damage and voids the warranty
Likely will never work correctly ,an exchane device is $269 at an Apple store genius bar
you could try putting in a bag of grain rice for around 7 days to see if that dries it out

ronicr76,
First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
> The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":

Once your files are off try an SMC reset:

Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

MacBook Air freeze and need to be restarted when downloading with a web browser only!

Here is my configuration:
- Macbook air 2012, mountain lion.
Here are the symptoms that affect the computer:
- The computer freezes when I try to download a file through a web browser (tested with chrome and safari). I can download through the Appstore for instance.
So I have to turn it off by long pressing the off button.
Then when I restart it reboot without worries or it restarts again by freezing and by 3 beeps when the desktop appears.
- What I tried to do:
Checking permissions and disk and no problems detected.
Reinstall osx partition from the partition recovery hd, but I got an error when preparing the installation.
I wanted to mention that this problem started to appear when I downgraded parallels desktop 8 to 7 and running my boot camp with parallels 7 but with higher configurations!
and it crashed several times.
I also read that the number of beeps had a precise meaning.
Thank you

Help! Freezing and not turning back on!

So, I've had my iPod since Christmas of '07, and now it's March 8. My iPod is frozen, and it won't turn back on. All I see is a black screen. This is the third or fourth time that this has happened to my iPod. I've left it alone for a while, and the last few times this happened it turned back on, but now it won't turn back on and my computer doesn't recognize my iPod. I've also tried the 5 R's, but those haven't worked. They normally don't for my iPod for whatever reason. Does anyone know how I can fix it? I'd really appreciate it!

I fixed it. I switched the hold switch to on and off a few times and then i held the menu button and the center button for 6-8 seconds. Before i did the center button and the play/pause button..but then i figured it out. Yes! I'm glad it's working!

Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM (and other apps) - Both applications freeze and never come back...

We are trying to use test runner with dynamics CRM.
MS Dynamics CRM will freeze and will not respond (even after 10 - 15 minutes). When this happens, the test manager will either freeze or a message will apear saying "waiting for application under test".
We are not recording action recordings...This makes using test manager impossible. It happens consistently, starting with slowing the PC down (mouse moving slowly, slow to load in new screens, drop downs etc) eventually leading to the app freezing.
Tried on windows xp, windows 7 etc on various specs of pcs.

I am experiencing this same issue with
Test runner freezing when used with Dynamics CRM. I notice this was first posted in June of 2010 and so far no
resolution? I was wondering if it could be related to memory issues? Do you have any troubleshooting ideas? The
issue for me seems to be sporadic and I can't
reproduce it every time.
The message I get is "waiting on application under test".

My MacBook Air Freeze and had to force quit

Hi,
My machinge ( 1.4 GHz, 2GB Memory) is running on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Recently, my machine has been freezing a lot even when I'm not using running many application. Just Word and Internet Browser. I had to force quit. These has happened to me almost twice a day for the past 2 weeks. I've repair the disk with "Disk Utlity" but problem still persist. Can someone tell me what happen? I'm feeling really annoyed and frustrated

That repair should be guaranteed. I would try running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it reports anything and I would try reseating the ram chips, after that I would take it back to Apple.

My Macbook "blacks out" and then turns back on?

There are times when my MacBook will "turn off" or "black out" and then after a few seconds, it would just turn on again with all the applications I was opening opened up already. Please help? This has happened 3 times now. :/

Looks like you have a 2010 Macbook. Are you running 10..6 Snow Leopard? Things to check. Go to system preferences/energy saver/ schedule and make sure nothing is checked. Also uncheck put hard drive to sleep. Do a pram reset/Command/Option?P/R and hold power button down for three chimes. You could also reset SMC. Hold down the Command?Option?Shift while holding down the power button for about 10 second. You should be able to access the apple hardware test by starting up and holding down the D or Option D on startup. Run the test. If not and you have the install disks you can run it from there by inserting it and doing the same thing. Use disk utilities in the utilities folder to repair disk permissions and verify your hard drive. If it needs repair ,you'll need to use the install disk to do it under utilities at the top of the screen. If you have a newer operating system ,Then the only way to do this is through the restore partition by starting up and holding down the option or option r.You could look in your library system fold logs and see if you see anything under crach report that says thermal. Let me know.

Macbook Air freezes when changing screensaver

I am having issues when I try to change my screensaver. Whenever I click on a different screensaver option, my Macbook Air freezes, and I have to force close System Preferences. I have no problems with changing my desktop wallpaper. I have restarted my laptop but it still freezes.
I saw another board with a similiar problem except instead of the screensaver window freezing, their desktop window would freeze.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them to the Trash.
Test. If the problem is resolved. recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all.

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all. I have also re-installed OSX from scratch and still happens.

I have the same problem. I have a white macbook 2010, with mavericks os. I just found my mac not powering on and then I tried to run it on safe mode by holding the shift button but it will turn off seconds after I let go of the shift button. I am able to access the desktop and use it while holding the shift button the whole time. It's a bit slower than before but I figured maybe it's because of holding down shift button.
I went to the Apple Store to have them look at my mac and I was told it's a failed hard disk. I wasn't told why he was able to conclude that a failed hard disk is causing the problem, I was just told to get a replacement. But the thing is when I ran Disk Utility it says, "disk appears to be okay." So I also feel like it's possible it's not a hard disk issue because it's also the first time it happened. My mac was working perfectly fine before all this.
Do you know anything else that could cause this problem? Were you able to find out what's wrong?
Thanks.

So what happens when you boot it up? What do you get?

Just turned my macbook air on and the screen is white except for what looks like a camera with a question mark flashing. any ideas what to do?

turned by macbook air on and the screen is white with a question mark flashing and nothing else on the screen. will not boot up.

Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer was running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier and you reach the third set of steps, insert a Mac OS X install disk or connect the computer's original thumbdrive.
