MacBook Pro. Wont turn on and beeping.

My MacBook Pro screen turned several different colors and began beeping. I shut it off and now when I try to turn it on it beeps and the power light flashes. HELP

If an SMC reset does not help, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar:

MacBook Pro not turning on and beeping?

Help. my MacBook Pro 2010 was just working fine and it randomly shut down. I felt it hot on the bottom. I googled it and said my ram was loose so I tried putting back in and it's still beeping away. I tried pulling the battery out and putting it back in and it's still beeping. I need help. the light on the bottom right flashes as it beeps. it beeps then pauses for about 5 seconds. and beeps again repeatedly. the beep sequence is beep.... beep.... beep... beep..
help me please. thanks in advanced.

1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

My MacBook Pro wont turn on and I can't figure out why...

Does anyone know what can be wrong with my Mac Book Pro if I attempt to turn it on and it has a grey screen with a small apple and turns off on its own?

First try the steps in this knowledge base article.

My MacBook Pro wont turn on and is plugged into the charger

My MacBook was frozen for a second and after I closed the computer and reopened it, it looks as if it is off and won't turn back on. Nothing is lighting up. Please help!

If you are able, try resetting the SMC. If that does not work, take it in for diagnosis.

My MacBook Pro will turn on and get to the login screen. After I login though it goes to a white screen.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector? That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty. Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look. They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

Macbook Pro - WiFi turns OFF and won't turn back ON

Hello,
this is my first time posting something on this forum; I will be as detailed as possible. I bought a Macbook Pro back in 2011 and It came with Lion OS. Last year I upgraded it to Mavericks and so far it has been a nice experience. However, in the past week I have experienced a very strange and irrating problem with my macbook. While doing work all of the sudden the WiFi would turn off and lose all connection to the web. I attempted to turn it back ON by clicking on the wifi signal icon but something weird occured, it was still 'ON' according to my mac and the only option available was to actually turn it OFF, so i clicked on it and the icon would go empty with no curvy lines (i attached a picture). Then i clicked again on the icon to turn it back on, however, as was doomed to remain in this state cause no matter what I tried.. the wifi will remain off even after clicking on the 'turn wifi on' option multiple times. I tried going to the assist me option under network preferences and I obtained multiple results with no fix. I tried sending my mac to sleep though at first seemed to fix the problem.. the wifi inmediately went back to being off and wont catch a signal. The only thing that fixes this is a fresh restart which is annoying and unacceptable...this is really annoying and I need a solution asap because this problem is become very frequent (once every 2 hours)... any help will be appreciated it.
I attached 2 pictures and the console log when this happened.
1. A picture of my assist me window before i sent it to sleep, shows the WiFi on the left with the 'Failed' (which confuses me). it also shows the wifi icon empty ( like it was off) but the computer shows as if it was on and would ask you to turn it off... weird?
A second picture after I sent my mac to sleep. Though it seems like there was no wifi signal available, the router was on and literally next to my mac...but my machine wont catch up the signal. (other devices were connected to the wifi and have no problem with it).
Here is the console log right before and after my this problem occured:

Thank you for your detailed troubleshooting attempts. Very helpful. Sorry, I cannot read "logs." My eyes just glass over on those things. Hopefully, a knowledgeable user will come along shortly to decipher for you.
I noticed from the pics that your location setting is "untitled." Have you tried the "Automatic" setting? Run the diagnostic test? Results?
Try the basics first:
   Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

My macbook pro wont do anything and it is just blowing air out the back

my macbook pro wont do anything it is using its fan rapidly

Try Reseting the PRAM, It should fix the Problem.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Macbook pro wont start with 3 beeps

hi
Few months back I purchased a refurbished macbook pro (late 2012 model) with i7 processor and 8 GB ram. Now after 2 months I experienced problem with mac - it wont start with 3 beeps. I looked at different articles in net and found about no memory bank problem. I opened the back and changed slots and it seemed to fix the issue. However the issue was recurring few times and ram was changed. Again the issue seemed to have resurfaced. I tried with memtest in single user mode and RAM passes the tests.
What else could be the issue around the macbook pro. Do you suggest taking it to local Apple store to get it checked?
Thanks

Test each module installed alone while switching slots (power down before switching and remove battery.) Do both modules work alone in each slot? If they do, then it would appear the memory is good as are the slots. So, something else is at play and only an Apple Store has the equipment to go further - make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Macbook Pro wont turn on - sometimes

I have mid-2009, 13 inch Macbook Pro. Recently I am noticing trouble. Once in a while when I put it to sleep by closing the lid, the light stays lit (which is suppose to go on and off indicating sleep). And when I open the lid, there is nothing on the screen and the light goes away. I close the lid, again the light lits up and stays up. So the macbook wont turn on.
Does anyone have any idea why is this? I sometimes keep the power button pressed for 5-6 seconds and force shutdown and boot again and then it works. Is it a good idea? is there any other way in these situation?
Is there something wrong in the hardware?
Please help ...

Sachadon,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you try to wake your computer when opening the lid have you tried tapping one of the keys on the keyboard to wake it?
If that does not work then try doing a SMC reset follow these instructions.
SMC RESET
It is possible you are having hardware problems with the lid sensor but let try some other steps first.
Regards,
Roger

New Macbook Pro Wont turn after discharge

Hello everyone,
I just purchased my 3rd mac in the past 2 years, yeah that's how hooked I am, now windows free 99% and love it...
My brand new macbook pro has a very annoying issue.. if I use it on battery power and it discharges completely I have to wait up to 15 minutes after connecting it to power to be able to turn it back on again. this is so frustrating as I am sometimes doing some work and have to get away from the computer for a few minutes.. If it discharges within that time and I come back to continue my work guess what.. I need to wait all this time even after connecting it to power to resume my work...
Does anyone has the same problem? is this normal? I've searched google and haven't found the same problem on anyone else unless they are OK with that and just don't report it... I've never had this problem with any other laptop I own and is extremely annoying, my wife's macbook doesn't do that, if it discharges and goes to sleep you can just connect the magsafe adapter and it will come right back up.
your comments will be greatly appreciated.

My MBP has always come back immediately. So has my old iBook. I rarely discharge my battery completely, but will do so on occasion to calibrate it. But I have never had the problem you describe. My personal opinion is that the long delay is definitely not normal.
Out of curiosity, next time your Mac shuts down like this, remove the battery and see if it will start up immediately. If it does, you could possibly have a faulty battery. If it still takes a lot of time to start up with the battery removed, there is something else wrong. I have never heard of anything quite like this. Since you didn't mention excessive heat, that wouldn't be a factor.
Be sure you can reproduce the condition for the Apple genius. They have to see it to be able to do anything. Go in a bit early with a low battery and run it out in the store, so you can show them exactly what it is doing.
Good luck!

My 4month old Macbook pro wont turn on unless plugged in, but remains on after unplugged.

I got a brand new macbook pro 4months old. What happens is it does not turn un unless it is plugged in when I unplug it though it is fine and will run till it dies, BUT if I were to close it and put it to sleep it will not turn back on. I would have to plug it back in and turn it on then I can unplug it and it will be fine till it falls back asleep.
Once I do turn it back on, a pop up says that I need to re adjust the clock and another trying to search for the internet, even if I was already connected with is 5 min ago. Even apps like tweetdeck and facbook would reset and I would have to enter all my information again, where as before it would just remain there.
I have NO idea why it is like this and I am not really familiar with a Mac and its OS but any information would be greatly appreciate!
Thanks!
Yoshi

Bring it to an Apple store or AASP. You are under warranty.

MacBook Pro. Wont turn on and beeping.
