My Macbook Pro starts beeping and won't turn on. Any ideas?

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro.  It now won't turn on even though the light goes on.  It also makes a beeping noise that won't stop until I force it to shut down.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Normally - one would think that your RAM went bad if it's 3 beeps.
It could also mean that macbook can not find any valid os installed.
Have you recently upgraded your RAM?  if so - take them out and install the old one back and see what happens.
if however, you never upgraded your RAM - best suggestion is to take it to Apple and have them take a look at it.

  • 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 MacBook Pro started beeping and freezing up, replaced ram, still doing it. Any ideas?

    We had everything checked at Apple store, everything was fine but was told that 3 beeps meant ram was bad. We replaced the ram and used it for about 5 minutes and it started doing it again. Any ideas on what else this could be?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • MacBook Pro shut down and won't turn on

    Hi, my laptop (only a month old) said it needed to restart in order to finish updating OS X, leaving it briefly I went into the kitchen and when I came back I watched as the screen appeared to be going into sleeping mode but upon closer inspection it turned itself off. Now even though it was 100% charged and plugged in won't turn back on. If anyone has tips would be much appreciated, it is the beginning of the week and I won't be able to get to a mac store until the weekend due to my classes.
    Thanks

    Ensure the mac is plugged in.
    Hold the power button down and keep it pressed down while you count to 10, then release.
    Press the power button once and immediately release. The mac should not start to boot up as normal.

  • My new MacBook Pro shut down and won't turn on.

    I connected it to the charger and there is no light to indicate that it's charging . What do I do ? Should I be really worried ? I just got it about a month ago

    If your machine won't charge, you could try an SMC reset - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - and, if that doesn't work and since you're still under warranty, take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose and fix the computer.

  • So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge.

    So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge. When the charger is plugged in the light remains green as if it is fully charge. Before it died the laptop still recognized the charger but wouldn't charge. And now won't turn on.

    If you've a 2013 model, depending on when you purchased the machine, I would suppose that you're still under warranty or at least purchased AppleCare? Regardless, I would take the kit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the computer (and, if you're still under warranty, fix the computer) and, if necessary, give you an estimate for repair.
    There are all sorts of things that could be wrong - a faulty adapter, bad cabling, even the entire electrical circuitry may have gone bad.
    You won't know unless you had an Apple tech look it over.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    My film I rented from iTunes has frozen half way through downloading and won't finish downloading, any ideas?

    TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
    another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

  • Blackberry Tour 9630 freezes while starting up and won't turn on

    A few hours ago I uninstalled an app on my Tour, and was asked whether to reboot now or later to complete the process. So I selected to reboot now.  The phone turned off and while the white loading symbol was feeling up it all the sudden stopped a little more than halfway loaded.  So I removed the battery to try and start the process over and it continues to stop at the same point in loading process and won't turn on.  I have never connected my Blackberry to computer before.  Not sure what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated,  I really can't go without a phone this week end.

    Same thing is happening to mine. They said update the software but it wont do it while rebooting. Geez, what to do. Need my phone badly as well.
