My macbook pro shuts down when I turn it on, its fully charged but shuts down automatically when I turn it on, how do I solve this?

I have the older 2008 version of the Macbook Pro and since Friday when I closed it and opend it again the screen wouldn't come back on and I'd have to press down the power button and restart the machine again completely. Then when I turned it on it would sound like its powering up but after three seconds it would make the bleeping sound and shut down again, its fully charged and I have taken the battery out and put it back in but nothing is changing, is there a way to solve this problem?

If it sounds like a RAM issue it could be one of the RAM chips has failed. You could try removing the RAM one at a time and see if it starts with one still installed.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks
Stephen

Bring your phone into Apple for battery diagnostics.

I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%, and now it won't turn on.

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%. Over time the battery dropped, but it went from 18, to 9, 3, then 1, and every time I put it on the charger it doesn't actually charge. Now my phone is off and it will not turn on.

I'd suggest taking it to apple. Warranty or no warranty.

My MacBook Pro recognizes which of my three printers is plugged in (USB), but can it automatically use that printer or do I have to select that printer from the list each time I switch between printers?

I'm no longer able to select the file size when emailing a photo. How can I solve this? iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. Thanks a lot.

Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before. After that ... nothing.

Recently installed Acrobat XI pro on Windows 8.1, won't let me feed into scanner, forces me to scan pages one by one, how do I solve this?

I recently installed acrobat xi pro on windows 8.1. When I try to scan to create a pdf, it won't feed, instead it directs me to custom page and makes me create page by page. It's not a problem with my computer. How can I solve this? JK in Houston

Hi jk in texas,
Since you're using Acrobat on Windows, you can set up a scanning preset that uses the scanner's TWAIN driver. When the automatic document feeder is loaded, use the preset to have Acrobat "talk" to the scanner. For information about setting up presets, see Acrobat Help | Scan documents to PDF.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Ok- I might need to be a bit more specific-- My MacBook Pro is suddenly making a whirling noise-- sometimes it's quiet but other times you can really hear it from across the room. This just started happening-- it almost sounds like a tweeting noise --

I submitted a question last night but wasn't specific enough-- My MacBook Pro is suddenly making a whirling noise when it's on. Sometimes it's not too loud-- but other times it almost sounds like a tweeting-- there is nothing in the DVD/CD drive-- Is this something I should have looked at?

This is not normal. It is better to have it checked. Take it to the Apple Store.
Best.

My iPod touch is not turning on its fully charged but it just shut off and won't work i connected it to my mac desktop and it still isn't

what do i do? do i go get it fixed or what?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

It is hard to tell which plugin is needed to play that webcast. You appear to have Flash and WMP and Silverlight. Other popular but less used plugins are RealPlayer and QuickTime.
