Macbook Pro 2010 ja digital output - not turning on.

On Christmas we got a New Macbook Pro 2010 for my girlfriend and today I noticed when I connect a mini-spdif to the Pro, digital output does not switch on.
On the system preferences it show that the internal speakers are turned on, all the time.
When I connect the mini-spdif to my 2009 unibody it works like a charm, like it has done all the time.
Any hints or tips to solve this problem?
I've read other posts and noticed that people have the problem other way around, the digital output wont turn off.

If it wasn't custom-configured (i.e. it has no non-standard options), you may still be able to exchange it at a physical Apple Store. If you custom-configured it, it will have to be repaired instead of exchanged. At least that's Apple's policy in the USA.

HT5783 My MacBook Pro (Mid-2009) digital output has stopped working. It turns on the red light at the other side of the plug, but fails to connect with my receiver. Output from Airport works fine.

It was working fine until now, and now suddenly, the sound is gone. I've tried PRAM and SMC reset. Nothing works.
Using the same cable with my airport express, through airplay, the sound comes out fine.
It wasn't working when on Mavericks, nor now, on Yosemite.

Hey marcalc,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with the digital output of your MacBook Pro. The following resource may provide a solution:
OS X Mavericks: If you can’t hear sound from your speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13841
If you’re trying to listen through a digital receiver
If you’re using your computer’s digital output port (not available on all computers), choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output. Make sure Digital Output is selected.
Make sure your computer is connected to a digital-ready receiver using an optical digital cable, and that your receiver is set up for digital input (see the information that came with your receiver).
Try adjusting the volume on your receiver. You can’t use the computer’s volume controls to adjust the volume while using digital output.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 will not turn off, restart, or even sleep after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

It was working fine for the first 4 days until now, the computer won't turn off, won't restart, and won't sleep. When click on those button, the computer has no response. Also the iMessage App appears to not working as well. I tried forced turn off by holding the power button, but then it takes about 1 to turn back on. And now after it is on ago, it won't turn off again. And the Imssage is not working again. Other apps seems works just fine. Any suggestion?

Hi, Kinshinhh.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend processing an SMC reset on your MacBook Pro.

HT201257 Fan on my MacBook Pro came on and will not turn off, what could be wrong or how do I fix?

The fan on my MacBook Pro came on out of no where and will not turn off. The computer is not heated nor are any applications running in the background. The seems to be going on full blast. Before now it worked fine. Would turn on or off when need. Please advice what could be wrong or if ther is anything I can do to fix or troubleshoot. Computer is not even a year old.

LexSchellings: Now I know why you wished me luck and hoped everything would clear up asap hehe. I've been doing some reading and it is quite possible that my MBP late 2011 is sadly part of the probably million of MBP's out there with logic board issues. I am glad I am under warranty (still have to wait and see what apple techs decide on my comp) and sad that my comp will probably be done with in a few years. Not even 4 as it turns out. I can honestly say my old iBook G4 was amazing gave me 8 great years. Never had an issue with it.
Something funny is that about 10 to 15 mins ago the fan on my comp (the only indicator I got of any issue going on) quite down and the comp was working perfect. It has been running really slow since I noticed the fan being over worked even if nothing is running. Then it started up again and once again quite down, functioned well for like 10 seconds and started being noisy and slow again.
However there is an issue that bugs me, if according to my AHT results it is a faulty logic board how come my comp is still functioning? Of course being slow and noisy. I've read on some sad stories on here
Wish me more luck and send me lots of good vives. Going to need them. Especially if I end up not being able to fix the comp.
Apple is letting me down and to think I just purchased an iPad mini for xmas :/

Macbook Pro (Retina Early-2013) will not turn on

I plugged my iPhone into my computer and was going through the process of syncing my music when my MacBook Pro just powers down completely. I've been unable to turn the computer on since then, following the Apple trouble-shooting process.
Interestingly, when I do a SMC reset, the LED color on my MagSafe charger will change to green and then back to orange, leading me to believe that it isn't an issue with either the connection to the power button, or with the logic board itself. In spite of this, no boot-up sounds, no LED lighting up on the Caps Lock button, no nothing.
Has anyone else run into an issue like this before? Were you able to resolve it?

Hello FAHQALL,
The resource below will provide some steps to try if your MacBook Pro won't turn on. Resetting the SMC is one of them. Troubleshooting the MagSafe adapter and installed RAM are also included. There are links in the article for additional support if the computer needs to be physically inspected.

Macbook pro 2010 i7 model. will not load any osx installer. usb cd or internet recovery.

Ok so I am computer savvy. I own a Pc repair store where I live. I got this macbook pro in that has me puzzled. I tried all the resets. New hard drive new ram etc. Nothing seems to work. It will not reload any osx. Internet recovery goes through the initial download then just sticks on spinning wheel for hours. I also have disk warrior and it does load from cd and usb however it takes forever to load it. Any other suggestions and please trust me I have did all of the resets and everything that I could possibly find on google. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

How do you know that? Any one responding to your post cannot know exactly what you have tried, only you can. In essence that is not very informative. Do not take this as an affront, it is simply a statement of fact.
Do you have the original Snow Leopard installations disks? Have you tried to boot the MBP with them?
Be advised that an error free Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.

Macbook Pro 2010 no audio output

Recently my 2010 Macbook Pro's internal speakers stopped working. Whenever I try and use the keyboard to change the speaker volume, the screen comes up with the speaker image, but instead of the scale appearing below as usual, it produces a stop sign (circle with a line through it - I've attached a screenshot). Moreover, I can't change the volume in the bar at the top of the screen. Does anyone have any solutions? I've already been into system preferences, and the speakers are selected.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.

MacBook Pro is charging but will not turn on

Hi!
So my laptop has been dead for about a day. I recently plugged in the charger for it to charge. There is an orange light that is on when I plug it in, and there are the green dots on the left side to show that it is indeed charging. Although when I press the start button down, it will not turn on. I do not hear the hard drive running when I press the button. The white light on the bottom right side of the keyboard is not lighting up either.
Any suggestions?
Thank You!

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

MacBook Pro Early 2008 - screen will not turn on

I put my MBP to sleep last night as usual (via Finder). This morning when I opened the lid, I heard the familiar sound of the superdrive being accessed but then nothing. The screen would not turn on. I have tried several hard restarts using the power button but always the same result (no screen). I tried resetting the SMC but no luck. Reseated the RAM, nope. The battery is fully charged (battery test shows all lights on). Not sure what else to try short of taking it in to the local Apple retailer. I don't have AppleCare for it.
I'm aware of the possibly of the NVIDIA no video issue (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377) and something I will mention if I have to take it in for the tech to look at. However, I was not having any video issues before this happened.

If you qualify, you will not need AppleCare! Just take your MBP in for repairs.

MacBook Pro (late 2012 15") does not turn on unless I reset NVRAM

Since upgrading to Mavericks, when I power-on my MacBook Pro (non-retina, late 2012, 15"), I get a chime and the power light (right of front bezel of unit) comes on for a moment, then nothing. Screen stays black never comes on. If I power on with resetting NVRAM (hold down Option-Command-P-R), I get the expected double-chime, and the MacBook will come on as normal. I have a Samsung 256gb SSD and 16gb of Crucial RAM.
Is this Mavericks related? I never once had this issue in Mountain Lion. Any suggestions on what I can do to prevent it in the future?
Many thanks.

Just downloaded yosemite and my macbook pro 15" failed I can't turn it back on

I just downloaded the new Yosemite on my 15" Macbook Pro and it failed, will not turn back on. I got a loud beeping noise from it. It will not do anything. I am on the phone with Apple right now and they made an appointment for me to take my Macbook to the Apple store tomorrow.

Diana, did you try starting in safe mode (hold down the SHIFT key and turn on the Mac) and do you have an installation on an external drive or even an empty external drive?

Macbook Pro 2010 SSD Question

Hello,
I've been thinking off adding a little better speed to my macbook pro 2010. It's not slow as ive upped the 4gb memory to 8gb which has made a good difference however I still want to add a bit extra under the hood.
I have contemplated getting the new macbook pro but if the ssd speeds things up then I may as well get a 500gb SSD.
I heard that you cannot use a SATA III is this correct or can I use one of those in a macbook pro 2010?
your advice and help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Mark

the Samsung EVO says the following;
Interface: SATA 6Gb/s (compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s)
I'm guessing this means it should be okay?
Thanks
Mark

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

Macbook pro 2010 (mid) not working

Hey everyone,
My macbook pro 2010 mid does not turn on anymore because I spilled a drink all over the keyboard and I do not want to pay to repair it. In addition, it also had display problems as well like white and black screens. I tried using the "Power On" program for apple and it says that my laptop is not worth anything but I am able to recycle it for free... I was wondering if my macbook pro is still worth something since I have the battery and memory in it still

Looks like that the speaker may be blown.
Have you checked the Audio MIDI setup?
    Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
