My MacBook will not charge or turn on. Any ideas on what I should do?

I left my MacBook for a few hours & came back to find it completely unresponsive. I thought the battery might be dead so I plugged it in. However the green light never came on. I have tried multiple outlets and the Mac will not turn on at all.

I have an apple trackpad that shows that it is connected to Bluetooth but it does not respond. I have tried restarting the computer and turning the trackpad off and on but it will not work. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections. Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function. Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.

Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care. If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement.

My macbook will not charge and turns off completely when I remove the power cable. can anyone help?

The battery is sitting at 75% and has not moved even though it is plugged into the mains. It will not switch on unless connected to the power cable and turns straight off when disconnected. The wee green light is on the cable is on when plugged in so its not the power cable. Could it be my battery? the I only bought this two years ago.
Please help.

Firefox cannot connect to internet, although internet explorer will, this problem just starter today, any ideas of what I should dpo

Everytime I try to use firefox I get a message saying Firefox cannot connect to the internet. It was working fine yesterday. I can connect without any problems using Internet Explorer, so I know it is not my internet connection?

Thanks, for responding.
I did a hard reset of the linksys router. I changed the name of the wireless network. I did this using the PC that is wired to the router. The PC continues to work just fine.
The G4 continues to be able to log-in in the wireless network, but there is no internet connection with the G4. Under Network Status, the G4 says "Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" Is this something I should try to fix?
Thanks!

Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

HELP!! Ipod touch will not charge or turn on

My ipod touch will not charge or turn on. I think the battery went dead, but now it won't even turn on or charge. My computer does not even recognize that it is plugged in. I have tried to charge it on other devices and get the same result. Can anyone help?

TRY GEORGE GUERRERO'S ANSWER FIRST.
Plug it into the computer for about 15 minutes.
If it starts to turn on after about 15 minutes then unplug it.
As it is turning on hold down BOTH THE POWER AND THE HOME BUTTON on the itouch for 15 seconds, or until it flashes white or just turns back off.
Then RELESE THE POWER BUTTON BUT STILL HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON.
Then plug it back in.
The computer should reconise your ipod.

My ipod classic will not charge or turn on

MY IPOD CLASSIC WILL NOT CHARGE OR TURN ON

Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire power adapter or FireWire-based car charger.
Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
Try another USB port.
Try charging from a USB charger if available.
If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.

IPhone 4s and now iPhone 4 will not charge to turn on

My iphone 4s stopped taking a charge, I've tried working chargers which I tested on other iphones to make sure they are good working units and they worked fine on other phones but would not charge my own. I tried holding the home and power button down while it was plugged in and even gently cleaned out the lint and dust particles from the connectors. The phone will not turn on and it never says it's charging? Because of this I resorted to using my old iPhone 4 and now, just this past weekend, it has done the same exact thing and will not charge nor turn on. Has anyone had a similar issue or know a fix or do my batteries need replaced?

Yes, I have tried multiple chargers! Before the 4s stopped taking a charge it was kind of gradual where it showed it was charging on the screen with the battery and lightning bolt icon but it would sit like that for hours and never turn on even when I held the power and home button at the same time to hard boot it. Eventually the charging icon stopped coming on and hasn't since and neither phone will turn on or even show any signs of charging.

HT4061 my iphone shows battery sign that need to be charged, will not charge and turn on

Iphone shows a battery symbol that need to be charge, but will not charge or turn on

Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
02 days and m without my phone
My phone showed battery low sign when 10% was remaining. I put my phone on charging, it was showing charging sign and for a few minutes it showed USB sign ISO charging signal but very strange it was not actually charging as the battery was still running out. In few minutes my battery went to 1% and then my phone switched off and did not come back to life after that.
I tried Hard reset/ several different chargers/ restoring from I tunes but there is no response.
All it shows is a battery low sign and when I put it on charging, it only shows charging signal but do not actually charge as there is no change in the battery status. It shows the same red bar.....
Please help

HT3964 MacBook will not charge

My MacBook will not charge when plugged in. I know the cord works, I plugged it into my brothers and it worked fine. I've tried the smc reset. I don't know what else to do. I also borrowed my brothers cord and it won't work either.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Probably the battery or your logic board are damaged. Open System Information or System Profiler (in /Applications/Utilities), choose Power in the sidebar and copy here "Charge Information" and "Health Information". It's possible that you have to take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller

Go through the steps here and see if anything works for you.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

My computer will not charge or turn on

Lost my charged and purchased a new charger for my Mac Pro retina with 15. I plug the charger and it will not charge or turn on after few hours

You will have to take the computer and the power adapter to the Apple store to have it checked out.
A Mac is in warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase.
Make use of it.
Best.

Ipad mini will not charge or turn on

ipad mini will not charge or turn on, I have tried rebooting and also charging from wall. Apple icon doesn't appear even if I leave plugged in for an hour

Well my problem is now solved, both devices are bricked, Apple Store replaced both devices today, After talking with my daughter had the iPad mini was charging and it updated iOS8.1.3 and then bricked, tried all the things you suggested with both devices. Yes, I agree about not letting my devices die, this was the first time my phone had died in 5 months but I firmly believe iOS 8.1.3 was the cause of both devices demise. Apple checked both devices and promptly replaced both in about 30 minutes. I hope this is not the way Apple is planning on continuing with software updates. I have 10 apple devices and have been a strong supporter of their company, but these kind of half done updates are the reason I removed all Microsoft products from our household 7 years ago!

Help my Ipod will not charge or turn on.

My Ipod touch will not charge, or turn on. First it was just giving me the apple logo, then I attempted to restore, but a message appeared an error occurred(9). I went to error code 9 and did what was suggested and it still does not work.

Did you try restoring on another computer as recommended by:
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
