My MacBook Pro wont turn on and is plugged into the charger

My MacBook was frozen for a second and after I closed the computer and reopened it, it looks as if it is off and won't turn back on. Nothing is lighting up. Please help!

If you are able, try resetting the SMC. If that does not work, take it in for diagnosis.

HT201210 my ipod wont turn on unless its plugged into the charger?

my ipod touch wont turn on unless plugged into charger what should i do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem (very likely), make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likely a bad battery.

My ipod wont turn on and its been on the charge for ages... Please help!!!

When i try to turn on my ipod (Ipod photo 20GB) The logo appears and then after a few seconds the unhappy ipod picture comes up and underneath it says www.apple.com/support/ipod
I went to the support pages and tried restoring and resetting but nothing is working when I place it on the charge (mains) the battery with the lightening bolt comes up but it cant possibly not have enough cahrge to load because I have had it charging for ages!!
If someone can help me out here Id be extremely grateful!!

To begin with my ipod will be on the charge and the sign of the battery with the lightening bolt at the side appears, then i try and reset which involves holding the menu and slecet button...but the logo doesnt appear the wewe battery flickers slightly then resumes as normal i.e. with the battery and the lightening bolt, that is all it does I cant get it to do anything else...

My iPhone 4 is stuck in recovery mode. I have tried all of the recommended actions but nothing has worked. The phone will also not turn on if not plugged into the charger. Help please! So frustrating

One day the phone just got stuck on ios6 screen then once unlocked it said plug into iTunes. Once I did the phone will not allow me to complete a restore. At the last stages the phone will cut off. I have asked a friend to have a look and he thinks it is stuck in recovery mode loop? I don't know what else to do. The phone is not under warranty and I bought it second hand before Christmas. Please give me any help or advice.

Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. There is no magic that can fix a hardware failure.

My MacBook Pro wont turn on and I can't figure out why...

Does anyone know what can be wrong with my Mac Book Pro if I attempt to turn it on and it has a grey screen with a small apple and turns off on its own?

First try the steps in this knowledge base article.

My MacBook will not turn on and when I connect the charger it has a very dim light

I have just come back from holiday and went to turn on my MacBook, but it will not turn on
I connected my charger and the light is very very dim.
How do I resolve this? Will I end up losing all I have saved on it? Please help!!!

There may be something corrupted in the system, and a certain kind of reset may be able to help...
•Intel-based Mac: Resetting the System Mangement Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If that doesn't work, check instructions carefully and repeat if necessary, see about taking the computer to an Apple Store and try to call ahead for Genius appointment; or contact an authorized reseller with product specialists and service.
Some users ventured into their out-of-warranty macbooks to check the actual cables going from the battery compartment to the logic board, apparently some batteries unplug. Others you can't get into.
I see following post/link says several things, can't vouch for any except ^ the SMC reset support page above: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23996241#23996241 - Also, check the right side in this recent thread for links to similar topics.
{In order to make a backup at this late a date, you'd need power to the computer; enough to try & see if something as quaint as 'Target Disk mode' would work... If your Macbook is one with Firewire ports.}
•How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
With FW TDM, the failed computer can sometimes be powered up holding the T-key down, and a firewire icon would appear on the screen; then one could go about attaching or using a FW cable of correct type and connect it to another capable computer, then the failed computer's HDD would appear as an external drive. In the past, it was possible to clone or copy a drive from a computer that won't boot to another hard disk drive. Or at least copy stuff of that does not require the system to function along with the saved files.
Good luck & happy computing!

My MacBook Pro will turn on and get to the login screen. After I login though it goes to a white screen.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector? That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty. Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look. They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

Might be a problem with the adapter.

The battery's probably drained and the power brick on the fritz. Unfortunately, if she won't start there's little we can do for software-based diagnosis. You'll have to take it in to a Store or Service Provider for assessment.

The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!
You also may want to let Apple know about this as well:
