My mac falls and don't start only makes a beep sound

please tell how i can fix my mac

Beeping noises, sometimes with the power light flashing, indicate "not enough Working RAM Memory to start up".
You need some known-good RAM to make progress.

I forgot my password to my mac book and don't know how to reset it in the security privacy field

i forgot my password to my mac book and don't know how to reset it in the privacy security field, can anyone help? Thank you.

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.

My mac book keep on beeping and make the beep sound 3 time (same goes to the light) and it won't start up. Help please.

My mac book keep on beeping and make the beep sound 3 time (same goes to the light) and it won't start up. What should i do?

If you recently installed new ram, make sure it is seated properly.
If that doesn't work try removing one stick at a time to see if one is dead or put original ram back in.

Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

I cannot boot up my Mac book and all I get is a long beep

Have tried checking the keypad and no luck
Is this a logic board issue or is it something else?

My daughters Mac crashed mid assignment and after hours for phone support. So was looking to see if there was anything we could do here. Your advice is correct but the issue was "long beeps". Which are generally a serious issue and not one that we are going to be able to deal with. Like the icon .... and do appreciate the fact that you were happy to help. cheers

I have an iPhone 3GS and it recently started to make a Cicada type of sound when pushing the close button on the top right hand of the phone. Can anybody give me feedback on what this is or how I might be able to fix it?

It will be replaced with the exact same model. It is not expensive compared to the full retail price of a new phone (without carrier subsidies).
If you're eligible for an upgrade from your carrier, now might be a good time to consider upgrading to an iPhone 5, though.

My mac book pro is not "starting" it makes beeping noise when i turn it on, prior to this for half day it was turning off after an houror so.

It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else. Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

I am trying to open my macbook air but it has blocked and it makes a beep sound.

I am trying to open my macbook air but it has blocked and it makes a beep sound. It wont turn on. Is there something i can do?

Assuming this is not the normal startup chime, one beep means no RAM...so something in the path to the RAM has failed.
Best option is the Apple store genius bar to have the techs test the system and see what is going wrong.

Mac Mini (intel) don't start, power light is flashing WHITE !!!

First sorry for my last post, i make a misstake in the color of LED, but the color is WHITE and not GREEN.
Hello, yesterday i use my Mac Mini for make some Downloads, and after done i turn he off by quick press power button (i are using Windows XP PRO). Today when i try start he again, get black screen, no sound, no video, just the power led flashing green.
I try hardware reset by unpluging all cables, wait for 15 sec and plug the power cable again (without press POWER ON key), but nothing change.
I try POWER ON with +R +P Alt + Windows Keys, still not work.
I try POWER ON with Shift, Ctrl, D, X and nothing change.
The HDD is fine, because i withdrew and tested in other PC and boot fine.
If anyone has any ideas, please help.
Thanks...

My response to your thread in which you report the power light to be green, but otherwise describe the same condition:
If the power light flashes after power-up, it is very likely to be that the system is failing the power on self test, and the flashing is the way it is reporting the fault to you. If so, the system should also beep.
The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
+In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.+
This would suggest that your system has a major hardware fault, though as you can see from the above, 3 of the 5 POST failure reports relate to faulty or missing RAM. If your system is suffering one of these, and if you have opened the system previously, it might be timely to open it up again, remove the RAM and then reseat it or replace it with known-good modules to see if that fixes it.

Kmix and Klipper crashes and don't start, KDE 4.4 [SOLVED]

I had a trouble with Plasma after adding a "fancy panel" which was placed at the same position as my normal panel. Everytime I tried to remove it, Plasma crshed, so I had to delete a part of a config file. But also the Klipper and Kmix don't start:

Installed software for Mac Mini and it wont start up

Hi, I got a mac/windows microsoft mouse and the mouse worked when i plugged it in. To get the extra features I installed the software. It said to restart the comp so i did and all I get when it restarts is a blank white screen.
The same thing happens all the time when i turn it on and turn it back on. What is this? How can I reverse this and remove the software? Is there anything that i can do to get my mac to run again?

Start up the Mini in "Safe" mode by holding down the Shift key as soon as you turn on the power and keep it held down until you see the "gear" spinning.
Extra features like the mouse driver won't load in safe mode, so you have a better chance of starting up. Then you can remove the extra software.
There are a couple of ways the mouse driver software might be installed, but try this first:
Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts
Then click once on your account name in left panel.
Then click on Login Items tab in right panel.
Then click once on the mouse driver software (if it appears in the list of startup items in the right panel).
Then click on the Minus button to remove it.

My mac fall and now the trackpad is not working?

So today my macbook fall and the bottom left part of the trackpad is not working . I can still move the cursor, but if I click on the bottom left corner of the trackpad, I cannot tap the other trackpad part, it will not respond. To make it respond again, I need to click on the bottom right corner of the trackpad, so I can tap the other trackpad parts. In short, I must TAP to click, I can't click on the bottom left corner. The secondary click (bottom right corner or two fingers tap) works fine.
There's no Apple Store in my city (or even country, I live in Indonesia), I just have an Apple Reseller on my city. What do I need to do?

I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device. Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally. You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies. Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling). You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).
