My macbook won't turn it on when running by battery

my 13" macbook won't turn it on when running by battery even the battery is completely charged. Even though plugging by power my macbook still works. What should I do to make sure the battery of the macbook to make it work again.

You might try to reset the SMC and/or PRAM. If that doesn't help you should contact apple service about getting it replaced.

My MacBook won't turn on. When I try, it makes electronic tones and the screen remains dark. What do I do?

This morning I found my MacBook screen was dark, no response. The power light was on, it's been plugged in and that seems to be working. I powered it down and when I hit power to turn it back on it made an electronic pattern of tones. After that...nothing. Dark screen, power light on. I'd love some advice.

Try this.
Erase and Reinstall OS X

Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…

Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.

Follow the instructions.
I hope I solved your question.

How do i transfer data from my old macbook 13" 2008 to my new macbook pro 13" but my old macbook won't turn on

hello! i went to the Genius Bar and they told me my logic board needed to be replaced on my old white macbook 13". however, i need to get my data and information from my old macbook but my old macbook won't turn on. i was told by Genius Bar that the hard drive could be accessed via the 3 screws when the battery was removed and the hard drive could be turned into a external hard drive once removed. that way i could transfer my music, movies, pictures, etc. they told me that Best Buy could do the data transfer for me. i went to Geek Squad but they told me the hard drive wasn't accessable behind those 3 screws, that the ram was there instead. i just want to transfer my data. please help!

Your Geek Squad wasn't very geeky. the hard drive is right next to the RAM.
Here's the three screws
Here's the hard drive tab that pulls the hard drive out.
Here's the hard drive out and you can see the RAM in it's slots.

My computer won't turn on. When the charger is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green

I was using my MacBook pro felt it charging and asleep for 4 hours. I came back and it won't turn on. When the battery is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green.

First thing to try would be resetting the System Management Controller. If that doesn't fix it you are probably looking at a hardware issue. Carry the computer in to an Apple store or service provider, or call Apple to set up service.
Best of luck.

My MacBook won't turn on?? please help

My MacBook won't turn on, i can't remove the battery, and when i put it to charge the charger light is green which i think indicates it is fully charged? please help i have a report due and its on my computer.

my computer won't turn on

My Macbook won't turn on and I have a lot of stuff id like to keep

Macbook won't turn on need information

If the green light flickers on your charger should you leave it plugged in or is that an indicator that the macbook is still not ready to turn on? Do I leave the charger in after I attempt to drain the battery? This has happened to me and I've left it unplugged for 2 days with no response when I try to turn it on.

My MacBook won't turn on completely

My MacBook won't turn on completely. It will be fully charged, with the indicator light on the charger green and everything. When I turn it on, the screen lights up and the start-up noise happends, but that's as far as it goes. It stays with the light blue screen with the apple and loading wheel for an hour or so, then it turns itself off. I've tried this a few times over the last week, and nothing has changed.

For Mountain Lion v10.8 > OS X Mountain Lion: If you see a blue screen at startup
For Lion v10.7 OS X Lion: If you see a blue screen at startup
Snow Leopard v10.6 > Mac OS X 10.6: If you see a blue screen at startup
Tip ...
Helps to state which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information.

Macbook won't turn on all the way. Please help.

Macbook won't turn on all the way. At first it only showed the grey apple logo, but now it says that I need to restart the computer by holding down the power button for several seconds or pressing the restart button. I tried this already but it's not doing anything. Please help.

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

HT4061 We just updated our mom's iPhone 4, and now it won't turn on. When it does, it says "iTunes" and wants me to connect to it. Nothing I do makes it go away, and I can't get it to turn on. Help!

I just updated my mom's Iphone 4, and now it won't turn on. When it does, there is a "itunes" icon, with the cord picture, which is asking me to connect to Itunes, I believe. Can't get past this screen to even turn it on. What do I do without having to restore her entire phone, which I have no idea how to do that?

You need to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.

My IPAD said it became "disabled" yesterday and told me to "try again" in 36 minutes. It's been 12 hours and now it won't turn on. When I try, it flashes a screen showing an ICON indicating connect to ITunes. Help! How do I reset?

My IPad indicated yesterday that it was "disabled" and told me to "try again" in 30 minutes. It's been over 15 hours and it won't turn on. When I try to turn it on, it gives me an Icon message indicating that I need to connect the Ipad to a ITunes. How do I reset or "enable" it to begin working again? Thanks very much.

You will probably have to restore via Recovery Mode as suggested above. The passcode locked you out (I assume) and you can't bypass it in order to restore the conventional way. Read the instructions here.

I dropped my iphone (not from a great height) and now it won't turn on however when I plug it in the white apple shows on my screen. My lock button has been broken for awhile so I can't even try switch it on!

Once you have a proven, working Charger... Charge the Device for a couple of hours. Then try to turn it on.
If no joy...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

My sister gave me her 1st gen iPad to see if I could solve an issue. It won't turn on, and when it's plugged into a power cord there is a slow pulsing sort of flash that happens on the screen....any ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! Now see if it charges normally and after a period try to turn it on again. If the batter has been drained it could take 20 minutes or so for it to show that it is charging.
Also considering if the battery need replacing!
