My laptop doesnt work...

My not even 2yrs old Macbook pro won't work. It powers up, but then loads forever... Never reaching the login page
I have tried letting it go and it just ran out of battery, still loading... This problem happened overnight, one moment it was working perfectly
and the next that happened... I don't know what to do, can I just show up at the genius bar or do I need more help?

If you have AppleCare, call them up.  If not, just take a trip down to your local AS or an AASP.  Diagnostic testing is FREE!  That being said..............
Care to share which OS you are using?
When troubleshooting connect the Magsafe.

  • Laptop doesnt work

    My laptop won't start up, everytime i turn it on, it just stays at a black screen unless I press Esc

    Try a hard reset.Disconnect all external devices first.
    1-remove power cord and battery
    2-press power button for 30 seconds
    3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
    4-power on

    Hello candymerna,
    At this point I would recommeng resetting the device if if will not turn on.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it does turn on, but will not charge then take a look at this part of the article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Power/Battery
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    If it is charging, but not recognized in iTunes take a look at one of these articles depending on your Operating System.

  • Youtube, twitter, facebook doesnt work on my mac (10.4.11). It works on other networks, at the same time, these sites works on other laptops in this network

    Yutube, twitter, facebook doesnt work on my mac (10.4.11).
    I checked my mac with other networks, it worked.
    I complained to my network provider, but to my surprise, these sites
    works on other systems (HP/DEL etc) on my network but
    it doesnt open on my Mac pro.
    I wonder what the reason could be.

    I'm running v10.4.11 on an older Mac laptop with Safari 4.1.3 installed and no problems accessing those sites. Click your Apple menu / Software Update just in case there's an update available.
    Check Safari / Preferences - Security. Make sure Java is enabled.
    Cookies could also be a culprit. Back to Safari / Preferences - Security. Click: Show Cookies.
    Delete the YouTube, Twitter, and FB cookies. Quit then relaunch Safari.
    If it's not cookies, try uninstalling then reinstalling the Flash plugin which is required for all three sites.

  • I cant connect my i phone 4 to my sony vaio laptop via bluetooth  i am  having problem can any one help me how can i connect my i phone 4 to my laptop using bluetooth i tried to paired but it just doesnt work help me pls!!

    i cant connect my i phone 4 to my sony vaio laptop via bluetooth  i am  having problem can any one help me how can i connect my i phone 4 to my laptop using bluetooth i tried to paired but it just doesnt work help me pls!!

    Unless you're trying to tether your phone to your computer or create a personal hotspot, it won't pair with your computer by bluetooth. File transfer by bluetooth is not supported. So, you can quit trying unless you're trying to tether.

  • Personal hotspot on my iphone 5s doesnt work. my laptop can see it and it seems to make initial contact but then it seems to give up and gives a failure message.

    Personal hotspot on my iphone 5s operating ios7.1.2 doesnt work. my work laptop can see it and the phone initially registers contact but then it seems to give up and the connection always fails. i have tried resetting settings, switching hotspot on/off, switching 4g on off and nothing seems to work. it worked fine on the same service plan with EE on my old 4s. can anyone help?

    Dear brothers
    Thanking you so much to be interested about my answer but what I figured out is as long as you bought your iPhone from gulf or Arabian area it will not has face time application cause I think apple has made special software for Arabian areana to privent facetime according to special request by phone cells companies and one of my friends has told me if you want to make sure that your iPhone not for Arabian areana you should check the model number on your iPhone backside if it ends with 29 it means it's for Arabian countries if other numbers it's gonna be for US. Or Hongkong so it's ok
    That's all I could know if you have another solution just please let me know
    Thanks for all answers

  • Airport setup asst. doesnt work.  Is there way to use Windows to add airpor

    Airport setup asst. doesnt work. Is there way to use Windows to add airport express to my current linksys network so that my iTunes will play through my stereo?
    Previously the air-assit recognized the air-exp unit but kept asking for a password to continue. I tried passwords like admin and public but nothing worked. Then Windows network connections kept trying to connect my laptop to the internet using the air-exp. Don't remember what I did to fix that problem but now my laptop doesn't try using it to connect me to internet anymore.
    However, now air-asst. doesn't read the air-exp anymore. Windows network connections DOES read it now but doesn't try to use it anymore to connect me to the internet.
    I have a linksys WAP and separate linksys router. If memory serves, when I firt got the air-exp about 6 months ago I could not connect either and Apple tech support had to help me. I think, but not sure, they had me use Windows to add the air-exp to my wireless network. Also if my memory serves me, but not sure, I had to type in either some IP or MAC addresses in order to get the air-exp to connect to my existing network. I DO remember thinking after it was finally working that "Wow, this is definately NOT a plug and play thing." It wasn't very easy to set up.
    I lost my laptops wireless connection last week and couldn't connect to my network and had to call linksys tech support. They had me input a new IP and DNS address because somehow my laptop "lost" the previous ones. Since then I have not been able to use my air-exp to connect to my stereo.
    I have called Apple tech support but since my 90 days is up they want to charge me $49.95 for up to five days worth of tech support. Which I think is a rip off becau linksys will help you out at anytime for fee but that's a topic for another discussion group. Common Apple, how about a $10 charge for one day of tech support, or even just 15 minutes worth to get my gear working again?
    Anyway, if anyone knows of any on-line walkthroughs of how to deal with these airport express set-ups or problems please let me know. Or, of course if anyone can walk me through this that would be even better. THANKS

    Thank you for your help.
    When I run air-util a window called base station chooser comes up and all the fields are blank. When I push "re-scan" nothing happens. When I push "other" a window pops up asking for IP address and password. I typed in the IP address given to me from Linksys tech and tried to move on but it came back asking me to fill in the password. I tried the default linksys password "admin" but it came back with an error.
    Do I hard (factory) reset the air-express by simply pushing the reset button or do I have to hold it in while I plug it in or simply push the button for a certain length of time?
    Thanks again.

  • Cannot connect to WLAN because FN+F8 doesnt work!?

    Can anybody help or I have to get my notebook to guarantee. I have problem with wireless capability of my computer because FN+F8 doesnt work. I bought my notebook 3 days ago and thats very big problem for me. I have to get to wireless connection.
    Please help
    Riuno

    I had the same problem on my new L300 laptop and the wireless adapter couldn't be found.
    I was advised by my dealer that this is a problem that the software was not installed by Toshiba and the solution is to
    create a backup DVD and reboot from that.
    I created the DVD and the machine advised me to shut down & install some updates that had materialised.
    The updates solved my problem.
    I didn't get as far as rebooting from the DVD.
    I don't know if the process of creating the backup opened the wireless driver, or whether while searching this forum (using a cable) the computer automatically checked for windows updates, but any way, it now works!

    Means you need to go to your HP driver site and redownload the AMD driver for your O/S and reinstall it again and hopefully this should fix the problem.
