Keep holding the power button down for a long time.
If the computer does boot this way, follows these instructions:

My macbook pro randomly switched off and wont turn back on. I have tried to charge it but it wont work. How can I get it to turn back on??
It's more than likely broken, a part has failed. You need to take it to a Apple store Genius Bar to be checked out and fixed. Or just buy a new Mac as to fix the one you have might be cost prohibitive. Especially if your warranty has expired.

My macbook shut off and wont turn back on. Im pretty sure it is charging. The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed. Im in grad school and have lots saved. Please Help!
ronicr76,
First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
> The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":

Once your files are off try an SMC reset:

Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also. -
Macbook Pro shut off and won't turn on or charge?
I purchased my Macbook Pro August 1st 2012 at Best Buy and in April it shut off for no reason and it wouldn't charge. Apple replaced the battery cable and my Macbook worked for a couple of weeks, then in May same thing happened and Apple replaced the MLB, a couple days later the same thing happens and Apple replaces the Magsafe board with cable. Then a few days later specific keys on the keyboard stop working and Apple replaces the topcase with keyboard. Now 120 days later my Macbook Pro shuts off and won't charge for the 4th time. My Macbook is now out of warranty but I don't think I should pay since this is the 4th time my MacBook Pro shuts off for no reason and won't charge. Yes I already tried reseting the smc, still didn't work. What could be causing this and is there anyway Apple will cover this since is the 4th time it shuts off for no reason?
Call Apple Customer relation and explain your situation. Have your receipts for the work that was already preformed on it and ask them to replace it with a new unit.

My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!
& it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!! -

After the last update every time my iphone4 reaches about 15% battery it shuts off and wont turn on until I plug it in. Why? i cant seem to figure out what to do. Restoring a backup does nothing, neither does syncing it.
Hello 8uhbbhu8,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice. You may want to consider a restore, and setting up as a new device:

IPhone randomly shuts off and wont turn back on again.
Hi,
I have a problem with my iPhone 4. It randomly shuts off and wont turn on again until i plug in the charger. This happens at least once a day and is extremly annoying and i can´t really use it anymore. I´ve tried a reset but with no results. Please help me out, thanksHello again,
I know there been a while, but I just need to tell you this
I tried a restore and it didn´t work out. The same problem just continued and i started using and old phone instead. A couple of days ago I read something about ios6, and I thought: Why not try it on my iPhone that I don´t use? I installed ios6 and since then the phone have worked perfectly, except for one single hangup but then it was just to restart it. Ios6 beta 2 is actully really stable. I mean, now at least it´s a fully functional phone. -

My Iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on, will a reset wipe my Data?
My Iphone 4 shut off and wont turn back on. If I do a reset with the power and home buttons will I for sure lose all data that hasn't been backed up on my computer in the last week?
No.
A reset is very similar to rebooting your computer. -
My 8520 just cpmpletely shut off and wont turn back on.
It had enough battery power but just shut off and wont turn back on, even after charging. I tried to remove the battery and put it back, still nothing, only the red light indicator is steadily on. What needs to be done to restore the device?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Try leaving it on the charger yet doing nothing with it for at least 2 hours. Then try to power it on.
Good luck and let us know!

I was using my ipad 2 and got up to use the bathroom and 2 minutes later tried to use it and it was shut off and wont turn back on. What is wrong?
We really can't tell you what happened, but you can get your iPad up again, by rebooting:
Hold the power and home button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (hold past the swipe to shut down) and when the Apple logo appears, let go of both buttons and your iPad will come back to life. -

MY PHONE SHUT OFF AND WONT TURN ON. I HAD A FULL BATTERY. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I WAS UPLOADING A VIDEO. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY PHONE SHUT OFF AND NOW IT WONT TURN ON. I TRIED TO PLUG IT IN AND THAT DIDNT WORK.
It could just be the power. Apple says you should completely drain the battery and completely recharge it at least once a month. When completely drained, as they say, it takes a bit after being plugged in again for the iPhone to start responding again.
