My Mac Book PRO doesent start, what can i do?

I cant start My Mac, what can i do To get it To start up again. When i push the powerbutton i can hear à click but nothing happends.

Since you can't even turn you machine on - and you don't say if you're running Lion or Mountain Lion which both have Recovery partitions - it's impossible to diagnose your problem over the Internet. If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, see if you can boot into the Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys while booting. When there (if you can get there) use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive.
If you're not having any luck with the Recovery partition, boot with the installation disc that came with your MacBook Pro and try running Disk Utility from it.
If you cannot do anything above, try running the Apple Hardware Test (if you can). If you're able to run the test, note any errors that might appear.
If all of this fails, you're just going to have to break down and get your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP. Machine may be fried.

My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it

My daughter forgot her Mac book pro password. How can I reset it?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

HT2471 My Mac book pro had been stolen can I track it down

Hi
My Mac book pro has been stolen can track it down if so can please ask for some help.
Thanks

You can only let Apple know that it was stolen by providing them the serial number. If you're still under warranty you should be able to login here with your Apple ID and find your serial number.
I can't remember who you contact at Apple - your Apple Store would be a good bet - at least if it shows up at an authorized repair center, they'll know it was stolen. Not sure how this works exactly but a friend of mine has a MacBook stolen and he followed this procedure.
And, of course, you've given the serial number to the police? They're the best place to start if you have or have recovered your serial number.

My mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

my mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

It's a mac book pro 17", OS X 10,5 . It worked perfectly but when I (or actually my friend) plugged the jack into the wall outlet it came a small flash (in the wall outlet) and then it didn't start up. No sound, no light on the screen. I didn't actually see what happened, but I asked if she plugged it in with the magsafe wire still attached to the computer, and she believed she might have. Is there anything to do? I have a couple of mac computers, two other mac book pro (writing on the newest one now - 13" - late 2011 - OS X Lion 10.7.5), if it could help.

Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., “15-inch Late 2011”) and which version of OS X are you running?

My Mac book pro (2011) start-up goes straight to disk utlities and wont install mavricks.

Hello,
     My mac boook pro 2011 wont start up to my internal harddrive. it will sit on the white screen for a bit before it takes me directly to the choose language then disk utlity and shows the;
Time machine
install osx
get help online
disk utlity
     Ok so my harddrive is partitoned into two, but everytime i try to delete the partition drive, it wont let me. says (Macintosh HD2 cannot unmount please try again). And everytime i try to earse the free space, it wont do it as well. but its says it did.
     Then i try to repair my disk but my verify/repair disc permissions is not choosable but the veriy/repair ARE choosable. i choose verify/repair option and it says everything is fine. but it still wont let me choose verify/repair disk permission. My Saftey Mode is not working ( circle with line through) so i cant fix that problem. I also done the reset PRAM/NVRAM and SMC and still nothing.
     Ok the problem goes further. my Mac book pro came installed with Snow Lepord not mavricks but it wants to install mavricks instead. I put my internet into some single thing and it switched it to Lion instead of mavricks. but that isnt the problem (just thought it was weird how it switched OSX system like that) the problem is that it doesnt want to download install any OSX system. First it didnt let me get pass the choose install drive wondow. , then i switched my date in the terminal and was able to sign in but it wont download any OSX system, it would say (Something came up, please try again). My install cd wont work, keeps spitting it out. And trying to do an OSX system download wont work through this browser on disk utltity (not enough space on the drive).
     I was deleting log files from my mac through the partitioned drive and i accidently deleted a system folder that had logs. i was wondering if this was the problem and if its making my HD fail ir is my HD done? and can i put Yosemite on a usb and boot it that way or burning it to a CD and doing a cd install?
     Please i need help becuase i use my mac for film and editing and my mac wont boot to the desktop, just to this window. ill try to post picutres of what happens.

That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

My mac book pro runs very slow, can I make it run faster?

I have a 4 month old Mac book pro. granted, its just an i5 2.4
It seemed to be pretty quick when I first bought it. but it started slowing down.
So I put 8 gigs of ram into it.
but it still runs painfully slow.
I spent the day putting files in the trashbin. Today I am deleting them perm. BUt even the empty function is slow. It can take 2 or 3 seconds to delete a single file. Right now, the process has been stuck on the same file delete for almost a minute.
I have run disk utils, and it came back instantly as fine.
So, I have 4 questions.
1... is there a check list to improve speed.
2... It there a utiltiy program I should run to confirm my files. I have uninstalled a number of programs. Perhaps they were not uninstalled properly?
3... I understand that there are some disksweep tools to stay away from. Especially the free once. Can I get a list of the bad players
4... I am thinking of replacing the Hard Drive with an ssd/hard drive combo. they seem to be getting cheaper, and I have heard some good thinkgs about them. I know it would void my warrentee, butcan I get some stories about the transition.
thanks
