MacBook beeps 3 times and does not start up with upgraded RAM....

I recently started upgrading my macbook as i use large programs like final cut, after effects, and logic. So far ive installed an SSD (using OWC data doubler) and replaced the battery.
Now i'm trying to upgrade my 4gb RAM to 8gb but my macbook doesnt seem to be compatible? Im trying to use Corsair 2 x 204-pin SODIMM DDR3 1066MHz CL7 but im not having the best luck. Its the Mid 2009 13 inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26ghz model currently running dual 2gb 1066MHz which SHOULD be compatable but i get nothing except 3 beeps everytime i try to power on. As soon as i put the original RAM back in it works perfectly. Ive literally tried everything from trying dual 4gb 1333MHz, reseting my PRAM and SMC. No matter what I try it gives me the repeated 3 beeps! PLEASE HELP!

The correct RAM specifications for a mid 2009 13" MBP are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. If you deviate from this you run the risk of the RAM not operating correctly.
I would suggest that you return the RAM and get chips with the afore mentioned specifications. Inserting higher speed RAM will not solve your problems. If it works, and it may, the MBP will down clock it to 1066 Hz any way.
Ciao.

T400 does not start up with a battery and AC, but starts up with only AC.

I bought T400, 7417-CTO in Jan 2010. My T400 does not start up with a battery and AC power. I tried to start with only AC power after pulling out the battery, it worked fine. Even when I inserted the battery in T400, which was running perfectly with AC only, T400 seems to lose the power - more strictly speaking, it kept stoping and re-running several times, and finally it dead.
a few possibilities
1) a battery is dead - but it does not explain the failure with both AC and battery
2) some hibernation issue - I plugged in and out the DIMM, and clock battery. I tried to keep pushing the power button trick, but it didn't work
3) Mother board failure??
I really appreciate if you give me some advice on it.
Wanyong

Thanks for all your kind and helpful comments.
Unfortunately, I don't have any friends who have Lenovo - or I don't have many friends here since I moved in the last summer. ;-)
After purchasing a new battery, I will update it. Hope that this thread helps someone who had/will have same prob. as mine.

I have a 2007 Macbook, so it's probably a lot older than your Macbook Pro, but it sounds like what happened to me, except that mine hadn't travelled anywhere. I pulled out the ram and blew out some dust, popped them back in, and wha-la! it turned back on and worked better than ever! Or otherwise you've got a dud/old/warped/fried battery, which is also what happened to my laptop - it got so bad it did what your laptop is doing. Ordered a new battery online and all good since then. Or otherwise, like the previous post asked, 'is it plugged in?'

Hi Alkaf,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPad will not turn on. Take a look at the iPhone article linked below, it provides tips that will help resolve power issues for both iPhones and iPads.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Does not start up with last viewed Tabs even though chosen in options?

V 4.01 with Vista. Even after choosing the correct option in options>options>General FF does not start up with the last session of Tabs and Windows. It always opens with a single blank Tab. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
If you use CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

Quick Time pro does not start at all and gives an error "Fehler 46: K"

I installed QT pr0 without problems. But QT does not start. After doubleclicking there is a short message with the above error code "Fehler 46:K" No movie can be played is thera any support for pro customer`? Is the Problem known? Installing and uninstalling does not help. Procedures recommanded from apple - empty temp etc. did not help either. Google did only find 2 posts none with valuable information.

As I'm sure you are already aware, that HDD has failed to the point it cannot find a bootable volume.
If you have a backup, no worries.
If you do not have a backup, you could try to reinstall the operating system and get the disk to a state in which it will at least mount. Then, copy whatever information remains intact to another disk. I would be inclined to replace the drive now, install the failed one in an external enclosure, and attempt to extract whatever information you need from it.
