Macbook stuck on blue screen and cant turn it off even by holding the power button.

Bought a refurbished macbook and it arrived today. was enjoying it for a while then i decided to reboot to get the new OS. I came back to it a minute later and there was a blue screen with the loader on it. Its been in this state for hours now and i cant reboot by holding the power button so i have no idea how to actually do anything. At the moment im leaving it running in its current state hoping it will all be sorted once the battery has run out. ANY help appreciated as i cant find anything whatsoever in forums that has any relation to my problem!!!

More details bud... WHAT MBP version do you have? What movie player are you using....? Is it a AVI MP4 MKV? IS it a DVD???

    I suggest charging it for several hours, then trying again.

    Hey there mello12,
    It sounds like you are not able to turn on your phone. You should use these steps in the following article to help resolve it, or setup service if needed:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • HT3964 Without warning, my iMac (early 2008) will freeze.  The screen will either go white or green and black strips.  I have to hold the power button to reboot the machine.  Any ideas as to what is causing this?

    Reset the SMC and PRAM. If it doesn't work, boot in safe mode -Mayús button during boot- and do your normal activity

  • My MacBook pro is frozen and I can't restart, even by using the power button or control command

    Hi- my MacBook pro froze about an hour ago and I've been unable to reboot it. Any suggestions? I've tried the power button, control + command + restart, erc ad none of them do anything.

    Hold down the power button for 6-7 seconds.  It will power off, then click the power button to turn on again.

  • Stuck with repetitive logo on screen and cant restart on itunes or anything because the lock button is broken

    I was on my iphone 4s and it randomly restarts to the apple logo. Usually this brings it back to the lockscreen in a minute or so but now it is just staying there. I have seen solutions where you just reset it by home+lockscreen button/ itunes, but i cant do this because i have a broken lock button..

    I've found that using Chrome is very quirky on the Verizon website.  Rather than get all upset, I simply use a different browser - whether it be IE, Firefox, Safari ... whatever will work.  Just as an aside, reps have stated that the website is designed to work in IE.  I've found other sites that are quirky in Chrome as well - I keep IE loaded just in case.  It's easy enough to use IE now and then if I need to, and it saves me the frustration of quirky sites.
    If you insist on not using IE, you can pay using your phone, or My Verizon mobile app, or by calling customer service. Waiting for Verizon to make their site cross browser compatible, 100%, is a lost cause, I think.

  • I am trying to get my Dad's computer to turn on.  It's a 17" IMac that was bought around 2007.  Today it just won't turn on.  When u hold the power button down, the white light comes on in the lower right hand of the computer but screen stays dark.

    It have tried pulling cord out if the computer and then plugging it back ...it still won't turn on.   Pls help...next step

    Try using the resetting SMC procedure
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    You may have done something similar already, but do it precisely as described.  You should disconnect ALL peripheral devices, except for Apple keyboard and mouse.
    Also, when you plug it back in, if the iMac is currently plugged into an old (or overcrowded) power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself.

    Are you running the Apple-supplied RAM? Have you run Apple Hardware Test? I don't know what else you've tried, but this may be time to do a fresh install of Lion if you have not done so since installing Lion.

    If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

  • My ipod shows a blue screen and then turns off and wont turn back on. What should I do?

    I turned on my iPod touch today and it turned on as usual. I unlocked it and went to play a game. I got tired of the game after about 5 mins so I went to the home screen. I swiped to the previous screen and it showed a blue screen after about 3 seconds. I was sort of surprised as this hadn't ever happened before. It didn't turn itself off so I pressed and held the power and home buttons. It turned off after three seconds. I tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't turn back on. I remembered about what someone said about pressing and holding the power button and the home button. I did so and as expected it turned back on. I unlocked it and the same thing happened again. Blue screen! I turned it off and tried the same thing again. Yet this time when it got to the lock screen, I pressed and held the power button and slid to power off. I didn't want to try turning it on again so I asked this question. WHY DOES MY IPOD SHOW A BLUE SCREEN? (Over and over agin every time I turn it on?) Please help!

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

    I pod touch 5th generation was working fine (Not sure what the last ios i downloaded was it should be ios 8 or higher). The battery died so i charged it. Now that it is charged when i hold the power button the screen turns dark blue as if it's powering on and the apple logo is about to appear but it never does nor do any other type of images on the screen. If i hold the home button Siri will say "Siri is not available please connect to internet" but there is still no image on the screen. I've tried holding down the home and power button it restart it but doing this just gave me the same results. How do i fix this problem? What's wrong with my i pod?
