NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.
If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

I bought my macbook just this march and now my fan is very noisy, the rpm meter goes to 6000 just when i started it
What process is hogging CPU?
Utilities > Activity Monitor.
Turn off Automatic Graphics Swtiching in System Preferences > Energy Saver, then change GPU to Better Performance.
The discreet graphics chipset is on the same diode as the CPU, so = heat. -

Have you tried forcing a reboot? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see a silver apple it's rebooting.

My ipod nano was working fine until i uploaded some new tunes today. It sync properly and once disconnected it just switched off and would not even turn on. I have put it on charge for a few hours but nothing happens, infact the charger is getting hot. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help I need my ipod.
The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on.
My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on. I was listening to music, it started to make a static sound then shut off and will not turn back on. What do I do?
Battery dead?
Plug it into the charger that came with the iPhone and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it plugged in for 20 minutes. Then while still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. -

My macbook pro randomly switched off and wont turn back on. I have tried to charge it but it wont work. How can I get it to turn back on??
It's more than likely broken, a part has failed. You need to take it to a Apple store Genius Bar to be checked out and fixed. Or just buy a new Mac as to fix the one you have might be cost prohibitive. Especially if your warranty has expired.

ok phone worked one minute and then just cut off and has not come back on ..... no water damage no extreme temperatures.... will not sync with itunes account ... nothing ... any suggestions
try putting it on recovery mode or dfu mode or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 or try to connect the iphone to your computer while holding the home button, if this doeant work more likely your battery is totally dead try doing a hard reset while the iphone is connected to the usb port by pressing the home button and sleep/wake button at same time and wait for the apple to appear and release the sleep wake button usually this works ... restore the iphone..... if it still continueds to shut down your logic board or the battery is already bad

My macbook just shut off and will not turn back on, connected to the charger. Help!
My macbook just shut iff and will not turn back on, connected to the charger. HELP!
Hi there,... what color is the charge indicator on the charger connector? orange or green.
Did you let your Air die from power? Or has it been stored away for a while on a very low charge?
What happens when you try to power on? nothing?
If you cannot get to recovery mode and cannot power on at all, then its time for a service call to Apple for in shop full diagnosis and possible repair. -
My mac randomly turned off last night had some trouble with an uncertified usb cable that I was trying to charge my iphone 5S with but it came up with that message of not being able to charge with this accessory or something so i plugged it into my mac thinking it was my plug to charge my phone then like 5 mins later my mac just randomly turns off and it did have like 90% batt but i still plugged it back in thinking it was just being wierd but then i pressed the power button after it being plugged into my mac and it wouldnt even turn on no fan starts or anything and now the colour of the charger light is very faint and is almost flickering between green and amber, please help me out I dont want to pay loads of money for something that I might be able to fix?!?!?!
I actually just fixed it. Here is what to do;
1. Unplug everything from your computer.
2. Take off the bottom of your MacBook / Pro / Air. (There are usually 3 screws that are longer than the rest near the vent, remember where they go.)
3. Carefully unplug the battery from the logic board.
4. Wait 10 seconds.
5. Plug the battery back into the logic board.
6. Put the bottom cover back on.
7. Reboot the computer holding the "Option" key.
It's not exactly what I did but it should work. If it doesn't work, what I really did was unplug the battery and then plugged my charger into the computer, the fans started spinning and then it shut off again. Then I plugged the battery back in, put the bottom on (with no screws), and tried booting up again. The Apple chime played and then the computer shut off. So I tried booting again holding the "Option" key and it booted up like normal. I then restarted my computer to make sure it is back to normal and it is.
Wow what a relief. I was really scared there for a minute.
*And for everyones information I was using a Belkin USB cable but it had never done that before. -
my ipod touch just turned off while i was using it and now it wont come back on no matter what i do. how can i fix this?
Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Computer just turned off and now won't turn back on!!
I have an IQ770 Touchsmart and while I was out of the room, it turned itself off. Now it won't even turn back on!!! I've unplugged and replugged and it won't do anything. What could have caused it? There was no power interruption, it's plugged into a power surge protector, my other desktop is working fine. I've been working on it all day, and now it's dead! What do I do? Can anyone help me?
Thanks!!!Ok, I've tried to plug it back in, and when the plug reaches a certain point, it pops sorta. Which tells me that it's the psu unit that's gone. This puter is only 2 years old. I've already had to send it in for a complete hard disk die, now this. It's a Touchsmart IQ770. Yes, made the mistake of getting one of the first ones. Not only that, it's Vista all the way. So, this computer is screwed both ways all the way. When it works, it's wonderful, but since it only works half the time, it's definitely not worth the money, time, headaches or worry that it entails to have. It's an expensive piece of @#*(!!!!) I do want to thank the people who tried to help me, sorta. Just put this into the next inquiry of the IQ770, It sucks!!!! Big green donkey dicks!!! Vista made it worse!!!
