My mac desktop computer won't turn on how can I know what's wrong with it?
It won't make the start up noise at all. Also the screen won't light. All I hear is a click noise when I click the power button. I've tried connecting it to other power outlets yet it still won't work?

My mac desktop computer won't start and just beebs
My mac desktop computer won't start it just beens loudly. I don't have any lights showing on the keyboard but can hear the drive switching on. I have unplugged the computer, waited and replugged and waited and then turned it on again without and results. Please help.
Use this tip to identify your Mac:

If indeed it has a PowerPC processor (the PowerMacs use that, and have been around since early 2006 simultaneously with some of the Intels), see this tip on beeps:

If it is Intel, see this tip:

Now it just brings up a blue screen and it won't
Let me do anything eles. What's wrong with it. This is the second time it's done it todayI am experiencing the same thing on log out, not all the time but too often. I can get going again by shutting down with the power button, waiting 10 sec. then pressing the power button to boot up again. I have run Disk Utilities, Techtool Deluxe and Disk Warrior which all indicate everything is OK. So I am hoping someone will be able to help us with this issue.

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.
Thanks Lucas,
I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info. My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone. Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple. I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions? -
I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?
You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's). You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.

my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?
I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed. So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

2006 iMac Desktop computer won't turn on?
My Mac desktop computer from 2006 won't turn on. I tried unplugging it and re-trying and that didn't work. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it?
One time, we brought it in to the apple store and it turned on there so they didn't fix it. Sometimes it turns on randomly after a lot of tries, but now it hasn't turned on for a while. Usually we leave it on, but we had to turn it off because the power was about to go off.
Thank you!!Hopefully something here will cast some light:

Computer won't turn on... just shows a flashing file with a question mark
Hi, I hope someone may be able to help me with my laptop. I had downloaded some TV shows off of iTunes and was watching one of them. My computer froze. I forced it to turn off, and tried to restart it. However, it won't turn on! I just get a grey screen with a flashing file that has a question mark in it. It then turns itself off a few minutes later.
I have tried taking out the battery, restarting etc.... Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated. We live in the Caribbean so I can't take it to an Apple store.Hi. I have the same issue as the guy you previously helped. I listened to your advice about putting the Install DVD in and now all i get on the screen is the apple with the loading circle under it instead of the flashing folder. It's been loading for 2 hours now so i figure it's not going to work. I have the DVD in there too and i don't know how to get it out either.

You have a Macbook Pro. A Mac Pro is a desktop. The light on your power cord is orange when it's charging. It turns green once it's fully charged.

My iphone4s wi fi won't turn on how can I get it to work
Hey . Mi iPhone4s wi fi won't turn on . I would like some assistant in to make it work .
First thing you should try is pressing on the sleep/wake button to turn the device off. Once pressing on this button slide the button the reads slide to shut off. Restart your device. Check wi/fi. If this does not help go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. When resetting your network settings you will need to know your wifi/router password. When you know your wifi/router settings you then can reset network settings.
Once you have reset network settings you will then go back to settings to wifi and then attempts to rejoin wifi with your wifi name and password. If this does not resolve the issue go to the same area in settings to join wifi and click on other to forget wifi address and click on forget. Once you've click on forget go back to wifi area and type in the name of your wifi and password. If this not sucessful go to your wifi router appliance and unplug the device leaving it off for not less than 5 minutes and then plug back in to reset your wifi router.
Good luck . -
My computer failed to turn on, how can I get my music back?
My computer (windows) turned off the other day and will not power back on. We swapped out the power supply and it still does not come back on.
How do I get my music back? I am afraid to log into another computer with my username and password because my library is sync up on the computer that is broken. I have a lot of purchased songs that I was not able to back them up in a few months.
I also have an iPhone, so I will need to keep it up to date with iTunes, but once again the computer will not turn on.
Please give me some advice.Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
