MacBook turns off after the startup bong when trying to restart

Greetings,
When I try to restart my MacBook it turns off after the startup bong.
Thanks

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
Best of luck.

  • MacBook Turn off after recovery

    Hello Dear users of the apple support communities.
    I have a problem. Yesterday, i shutdown Macbook incorrectly (Long press on the power button). Now when I try to turn on Macbook, on the screen appears system recovery.When the recovery is completed - MacBook turn off. I recorded this moment on video: http://www.4shared.com/video/wbT7TO1n/MacBook_Turn_off_after_recover.html
    How to solve this problem?
    Thanks guys.

    Hello Alex,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was booting just to the gray screen with the Apple logo on it.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you are experiencing:

  • T61 - turns off after a Memory Upgrade when I start an 3D application

    I have replaced in my T61p Notebook the original Memory 1x2GB PC2-5300 with 2 Kingston KTL-TP667/2GB modules. Now, the Bios see 4 GB and Windows see 3GB. That is OK.
    My Problem: When I start an 3D application like Futuremark, the Notebook switch after a few seconds off. No error, no Warning, the screen goes blank and the Notebook turns off. The Problem obtains also when I mix my configuration with the original Module and one of the new ones from Kingston.
    Only the configuration with one 2GB Memory (Original or Kingston) will work.
    Has someone an resolution for my Problem?

    this is a known problem in the T61p which have problems using 2 x 2 gigs of ram when you are using graphics intensive programs. I don't know if there is a fix out yet for this problem.

  • WiFi turns off after an inconistant amount of time until restart.

    On my MacBook Pro. My wifi turns off at certain times. So to battle it when I feel its about to go I'll turn airport off and on again. I don't get it. It really happened after installing 10.5.7. Although I remember once long before that the airport turned off and went back after restart. Could have been with 10.5.3. I ran Apple Hardware test (not the through one just the normal one) and it said that my hardware was fine? Is everyone experiencing this on All 4,1 MacBook Pro 17" Models?

    Here is something but I am not sure whether it is the right thing.

  • My iMac wont turn off after the recent update

    Just installed the recent update couple nights ago (did the update at night, ended up going to bed before it finished). And this morning tried to turn on my iMac and it just goes to the Apple logo with the loading bar screen. After a minute it shuts itself off.
    I've tried to command-option-p-r it, that didn't work.
    I don't have a disk to reformat it with (the "press C" option).
    I have also tried the "press shift" option - doesn't work
    My dang serial number on the bottom of the screen has a scratch through it so I'm not too sure what the first couple letter/numbers are... But I did take a picture of it anyways.
    I've unplugged my external hard drive to see if it would start without it.
    im not to sure what other options are; ive tried calling Apple support but they need my serial number. Which I can't even start it up to get the information.
    please help!

  • Iphone turns off after a few mn of utilization with the battery full

    My iphone 3GS turns off after the battery is fully regenerated. I can only use it a few minutes before it turns off. I have to plug it again to turn it on, and the indicator of charge is around 98 %. The problem does not come from the battery. Has anybody found the same dis-functioning? A solution? Thanks!

    More than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem.
    If there is an Apple store nearby, make an appointment to have this confirmed.

  • Mail notifications turning off after re-start

    Hi all,
    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.1. I have my mail notifications turned on in the lock screen as alerts and to be shown in the notification centre, but after re-starting my phone, they turn off. After a re-start, both the 'show in notification centre' and 'show on lock screen' options are turned off. The phone vibrates when I get an email, but nothing comes up on the lock screen.
    I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue, so any help would be appreciated. It's a bit annoying to keep having to turn them on again every time I re-start my phone.
    Cheers

    Hi nengelbrecht6,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like some of the Notification Center settings aren't sticking on your iPhone. The quickest and easiest way to troubleshoot this issue will be restarting your iPhone and then restoring it, if the restart didn't resolve the issue.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    I hope this helps.

  • I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

    I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754
    59&tstart=0
    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off.  But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

    Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music?  It's fully charged and brand new.

    I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
    My computer meets the requirements.
    All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
    As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
    My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
    As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
    As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
    'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
    No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
    The problem still exists. Please help.
