  • My macbook isn't powering up and makes a beeping noise in time with the sleep light

    Hi There I hope someone can help!!!
    I had disconnected the power cable and left the MacBook in sleep mode with the lid shut. When I now go to open my MacBook up, and wait for my system to resume from where I left off the screen doesn't on and the sleep light goes off. when I close the lid the sleep light goes back on as if it is in sleep mode but the same happens when I open it again, no power to the screen.
    I order to try get my MacBook working again I tried holding down the power button and switching it back on again but the MacBook now looks as if it is going to power up but the sleep light comes on for about 3 secs and then beeps, then every 4-5 secs constantly the MacBook beeps once in time with the sleep light (to note the sleep light is not following its usual fade on fade off rhythm).
    I have tried resetting the SMC using the shift command control option and power button (also this is the only way to stop the beeping and flashing) and when you try and switch on the MacBook if you just press the power button it just follows the same beep with sleep light routine, but if you hold the power button in then the sleep light then flashes quickly about 4-6 times and then starts to beep in time with the flash again.
    I will also add I have not reconfigured anything or added any RAM to my MacBook it is still on the standard (manufacturing) configuration as I have been looking about for anyone with similar issues and the main question back seems to be have you changed the RAM, I have also tried resetting teh RAM and the proble still persists.
    If someone can help it would be awesome!

  • I recently updated my phone to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone. It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up what should i do?

    I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone because it is in "recovery mode". It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up and i don't want to lose my photos, what should i do? (I never used iCloud to back them up either).

    If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

    Try resetting the System Mangement Controller -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964.
    If that has no effect, then your only recourse is to take your machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine.

  • Grey screen and makes a beeping noise...

    Hi,
    My ipod nano seems to have went on the blink. It jusat comes up with a grey screen and when I try to do the toggle and two buttons at the same time it shuts down but then when it comes back on makes a beeping noise and reverts back to the grey screen.
    Can anyone help please?!?

    Sometimes this is a result of a bad USB cable.  Try plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to rule out the possibility of a damaged/faulty USB cable.
    Have you tried other USB ports as well?

  • MACBOOK WONT TURN ON!! PLEASE HELP!

    MacBook which is supplied through my school and wont turn on at all, it justs shows the grey screen and the beachball spinning around for hours. It is and was fully charged. I took it to the IT guys and they said it can not be backed up at all due to it not turning on, but I heard they can take the main "motherboard" out and display it on another screen so that I can then back up all my photos and music? ALL photos from overseas and from the last TWO years are on there and I need it to be backed up!! Any suggestions on what I can do or WHERE I can take it? I live in Australia.

    See this Apple note on steps to take when faced with a grey screen on boot.
    Taking the logic board out to hook up to another system has nothing to do with the data stored on your hard drive.  It's possible they were talking about removing the hard drive to hook up to another system.
    After you get past this issue, consider buying an external hard drive and backing up your system on a regular basis. 

  • My 2012 MacBook Pro fell and it now makes a clicking noise and shows a grey screen on startup. I'm afraid the hard drive is damaged. Is their anyway to still back up my hard drive even if it doesn't turn on all the way?

    So my late 2012 MacBook Pro was sitting on my desk when the desk collapsed. The computer fell with it and I was quite scared at the moment, but thankfully I opened it up and it worked perfectly fine again.
    I was later watching a YouTube video and pressed the back button. The screen then froze, and I could not force quit safari. Then this weird clicking noise started to happen. It was coming from the right of the trackpad. That's when I decided to force shutdown the computer with the power button.
    I let it sit and then decided to turn it back on. The clicking noise then came back and there was just a blank screen on the boot up. Eventually a grey folder with a question mark started flashing on the screen. That was all it did so I decided to turn it off again.
    I'm going to take it into the Apple store ASAP, but I'm curious if my hard drive is damaged and if I will need a new one, which would erase everything on my Mac. So I was wondering if there is anyway to back up the hard driver even if it doesn't boot up all the way, or turn on the computer all the way.
    P.S. I have never backed up my hard drive so I wouldn't know what to do.

    You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

    I have the same problem. It doesn't matter if the power is plugged in or not. Please help me decide if it's a software bug or a hardware issue. This crash happens eveytime I try to turn off the computer.
