My macbook model 7.1 will not start up unless connected to power supply even when it is fully charged. Does anyone know the cause of this?

I have a 4 year old MacBook 7.1 that has worked wonderfully until today. I went to turn on my computer and it would not do so until it had been plugged into the power supply, and it was fully charged. Can anyone suggest what to do to fix this? DO I need to take it to an apple repair tech? Thanks

Hello ssamaro13,
I definitely understand your concern with your battery not powering your MacBook when the power adapter is disconnected. I found a couple of resources that I think might help with this.
The first thing I recommend is resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
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.
You can find the full article here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

If your battery is still not powering the computer when disconnecting the power adapter, the next thing I recommend is troubleshooting your MagSafe adapter using the steps in this article:

HT4972 my ipad will not start it has an apple in the center and no matter what I do it will not dispeasr, erase or open

MY ipad will not start. I can only see an apple in the center.

Have you tried this?
Reboot 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.

HT201274 My ipad will not start

My ipad will not start.
I have to do a hard reboot inorder for it to turn off.
It just get the start white apple and then it restarts after a few minutes.
I also cannot access the ipad via itunes and therefore I cannot do a restore. I could access it before the problem happened.
This occured after I updated an app and did a reboot.   The update never completed itself (Flipboard)
The itunes is the lastest version.

My mini ipad will not start up at all just black screen

my ipad will not start up

Tap the word Genius Appointment in Kappy's answer, it's a link. Or you can call the nearest Apple Store.
Try a reset first. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

HT201263 Help. My wife's iPad will not start up. I updated it two nights ago (Nov 12) to the latest IOS. It seemed to update normally. However, today it will not start or give any response. I tried to do a restore, but it will not let me do that.

Help!!!!!! My wife's iPad will not start up. I updated two nights ago to the latest IOS and today it will not do anything. It is charged and I've tried to access it through itunes to no avail.

From your text, it's difficult to determine if the problem lies with the iPad or the cable.
If the iPad still works, but you're having a problem with the sync, you may want to check all the cables and connections. If the iPad doesn't work (frozen or unresponsive), post and we'll go through the checklist together.

My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now, what can I do?

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Ipad will not start up, keeps shutting down and trying to restart, computer will not recognize device to restore.

ipad will not start up, keeps shutting down and trying to restart, but never gets past the apple logo. The computer will not recognize it as a device that is connected to try and restore.

Just downloaded and installed new LR CC. No apparent problems with the D/I on my iMac, OS 10.10.3. however LR CC will not start. I get a momentary flash of the opening screen and then the program shuts down. From the posts it looks like this if a very common problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
- iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
- Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
- Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
- Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!
