My desktop doesn't turn on.

I tried to reboot my Mac. The grey circle is on and so is the white screen with the logo but nothing happens further! Please help someone!

You could try resetting the NVRAM.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If this doesn't help, you could try a reset of the SMC (System Management Controller).
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Good Luck!

Macbook Pro Screen doesn't turn on?

So, I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 15". About two weeks ago, my macbook screen just stopped working. I shut it down, and since then it's been practically "dead". The display doesn't turn on, the logo on the back is off; Essentially, the whole display of the mac doesn't get powered on. However, the startup noise is still there when I turn it on. I've been using it in a monitor as of now and it works fine with the monitor. This is the thing though, the screen is perfectly fine!! About a week ago in the morning when I turned it on, the display turned on. the screen had been white, and the apple logo popped up, it looked completely fine. Sadly I had to go to school and when I came back, no matter how many times I restarted it or did anything to it, the screen would just not turn on. Yesterday, I was showing my friend and restarted it, turned it on, then nothing. Tried it again while doing random keyboard strokes and the display turns on. Excitement in my eyes, it actually restarts and for the first time in two weeks I was to see my desktop and see my mouse moving around, all the icons, everything! The display and everything on it was working perfectly normal, no noise, no distortion, no odd colour, no issues on the display at all. My friend boots it to windows and the display stops working and again since then it hasn't worked. It's alive and perfectly normal in there, but I just don't know how to give it what it needs to bring it back that way.
Does anyone know anything to help me on this? It's quite frustrating when you see it work, then shut off. I can't use it at school to do my work anymore and it's such a nuisance.

You have a hardware problem. More than likely it is the cable that goes from the logic board to the display. It sounds like an internmitent short. Works sometimes not at other times.
The only way to fix a hardware problem is to replace the faulty piece of hardware and the only people that do that is either an Apple store or an Apple authorized repair center. That is unless you can diagnose the actual failed hardware part, find one from an Aftermarket Mac parts seller and replace the part yourself.

My ipad 2 doesn't turn on, My ipad 2 doesn't turn on

I used my ipad two days ago using mail and playng games only for a little time. I turn off ipad. Yesterday morning I tried to turn on my ipad but it seems dead. I try to charge after try all way to turn on it. I left it charging all the night but this morning it doesn't turn on still. Sorry for my english; hope have explained my problem.
Thanks

See if this will restart it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with 68%.

Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on... What is wrong? Can photos and data be retrieved?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

MacBook Pro suddenly doesn't turn on.

My MBP suddenly stopped working.
It was sleeping and when I decided to use it, it doesn't turn on at all.
The charger's LED indicator doesn't work either, or any of the lights in the computer.

The only way you will know if you do it! If it doesn't work, then post back.

Macbook Pro 2009 doesn't turn on without battery

Hi. I have a mbp mid 15" mid 2009 2.66. In time the battery bacame very low like 4% health, and now is completely dead or broken. When i check the battery status leds it shows full and when I try to turn on the computer (of course with AC power) it tries to turn on for 1 sec then it dies, even with AC plug. i hear the fans trying to spin for 1 sec or less, i hear the hdd sound and i see the standby led like it is trying to power on normally but It seems like it's trying to use the battery to power on. (Even when the battery was good, it would't turn on if it was 0%.. i would have to wait 10-20min or whatever to charge it to aprox20% or whatever).
I can't buy a new battery right now so I tried to turn it on without battery (I am sure the battery is completely dead and if I put a new battery it will work for sure) but why it doesn't turn on without battery?? I don't believe it needs battery to run on AC power. It's a SMC thing. What can i do to use the SMC and run the computer wihout battery? Now I'm using it with SMC bypass (keep pushing power for 10 sec and plug the ac chord) but with SMC bybass the fans run at max speed, no keyboard backlight no sensors and all that uses smc its not working. Is it safe to use it that way? (it's not running slower, i don't have performance issues).
I tried PRAM reset SMC reset, removing battery with AC on.. nothing works. It won't turn on without battery. Only with smc bybass.
It is something i can do? or buying a new battery is the only solution?
Thanks.

My Macbook Pro Retina doesn't turn on but charger led works

I haven't used my mac for a month but it use to work perfectly fine. I tried to use it but it wouldn't turn on. When i plug the magsafe connecter the led goes orange. But when i press the power button it doesn't turn on. i tried smc reset using left shift, control and option (and power button) while charging and not charging but it doesn't work. Please help.

IF the battery was completely discharged, give it some time on the charger before trying to start up. The amber LED means it is charging, give it an hour or so before trying again.

"error executing the process" rebooted there after it doesn't turn on

Hi.
I have an important problem with my Lenovo k900 brought in september 2013. It gave an error like this "error executing the process..." I reboot the phone, but since that moment the phone doesn't turn on.
I have tried a hard reset (power + volume(+)) but it doesn´t work.
When I press the power button, the lights below switch on for a few seconds, but the phone doesn't turn on.

This is a tough problem to solve if your not experienced with fixing Mac's, you can opt to take it to a local PC/Mac tech to solve it or you can attempt things on your own.
If you opt for the local help make sure talk to them if you have backups of your data or not, thus may require data recovery efforts performed first before wiping and installing everything fresh.
