my macbook wont turn on. its a total black out even the led light on the charger has no light. the battery indicator has no light its a total blackout. if you pressed the power button theres no light at the bottom. nothing at all even the spin you cant hear anything. blackout as in

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.
Good luck,

HT2341 When I first attempt to power on my MacBook Pro, the LED blinks but the MBP doesnt turn on. However when I try a second time the LED blinks but my Mac turns on. Is this a problem with the hardware and can it be fixed?

Also, I apparently have to replace my battery. Could the problem have any relevance to a dead battery?

Have you held the power button down for 10+ seconds? That should turn it off.

Ipod wont turn on unless I restore it and even if I do it turns off after few hours and wont turn on again unless i restore it again?

Are you restoring the iPod from a previous back or to factory settings? If you haven't restored to factory settings yet, I would do that next. And if the problem still continues, it's most likely hardware related, in which case you'll want to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar to have them take a look at it.

Reinstall OS X. Unfortunately, you haven't provided any information on what version of OS X you are using.

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 Macbook wont turn on, it gets pasted the White Apple screen then goes to a Blue screen that quickly turns a slightly darker shade of blue with the familiar loading icon then back again and does this over and over. What should I do? please help!

So today my iPhone decides to go into recovery mode on me randomly so I plugged it into my Macbook right away, but it wasn't showing up in iTunes so I did a quick internet search as to why that could be. On the Mac support forum I found instructions stating I should make sure I had the current verison of iTunes on my computer, turns out I had been putting off an Update because I didn't like waiting for it to restart n so forth. So I clicked my boucning update friend at the bottom of my screen and it started checking for updates, the bar got maybe a quarter of the way up and then stopped moving all together, I thought something was wrong so I clicked cancel and tried again. The same thing happened so I clicked cancel and went back to the Internet to find more help on my problems. I found yet another forum saying this solution was simple, restart the computer. So i clicked my little apple at the top and pressed restart and that has been the last thing I got to do on my computer because when it restarted it got past the White Apple logo screen and went on to a Blue screen which quickly turned a darker shade and had the loading circle, then back to the previous blue screen, then right back to the darker one. This process it repeated several times and I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. Please someone have a simple answer to this that I haven't Already tried, I have already tried safe mode and it just doesn't work for me. Please please help I need my computer for class it has all my notes and a paper I was doing, not to mention my iphone is still in recovery mode, even when I can get to another computer to fix that I need all the back up files off of my macbook to restore it to what I know it as and not default.

Reset the PRAM
Reinstall the operating system from the dvd (you will not loose your data)

My macbook wont turn on help!!??

My MacBook pro shuts down in the middle of me using and went black and when I hit the power button it went to restart but then died again mu mac isn't even a year yet. What can I do?!?!?

Try my steps:
What to do if your Mac won’t power on
First, try plugging in your Mac to allow the battery to charge. If it is not a portable Apple computer, skip this step. Wait a few minutes, and then try powering on the computer.
Next, try resetting your SMC.
Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: This will not delete any data.
The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Then, try resetting your PRAM.
Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM
Note: This will not delete any data.
The NVRAM/PRAM stores information such as speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and recent kernel panic information (if any). You should reset the NVRAM/PRAM if you experience issues relating to these functions.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Turn on the computer by pressing the Power Button.
On the built-in keyboard, press and hold the Command (⌘), Option (⌥), P, and R keys before the gray screen appears.
Continue to hold down the keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup chime for the second time.
Release the keys on the built-in keyboard.
Then, try repairing the disk permissions using Disk Utility.
Repairing a disk’s permissions using Disk Utility on the Recovery HD.
Note: This should not delete any information or files from the disk.
Repairing a disk's permissions can help solve various file-related issues.
To begin, make sure your external disk that you are repairing is connected to the computer. If you are repairing an internal disk, skip this step.
Make sure the computer is powered off before continuing.
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. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Recovery HD partition to boot up in the Recovery HD partition.
Select Disk Utility.
Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the external drive from the sidebar on the left.
Then, choose the Repair Disk Permissions button on the right.
If this does not solve your issues, you may have no choice but to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.
If that does not work, try reinstalling OS X but not erasing.
Reinstall OS X
Note: This will not erase any data on the disk. However, it is highly recommended that you create a backup before continuing.
Reinstalling OS X can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
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 Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
Then, try erasing and reinstalling OS X.
Erase and Reinstall OS X
Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
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…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
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. If this does not work, shut down the computer, press the Power Button to turn on the computer, and then hold in the Alt (⌥) button immediately after you press the power button. Then, select the Recovery HD partition to boot up in the Recovery HD partition.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
I hope I helped.

Help!!! My Macbook wont turn on!!!

Hi, I just got Macbook yesterday, all working well. I dont know anything about Macs because this is my first machine... was using windows before.
Well today, after going on it, I shut it down and went up but later tried turning it on... nothing happens...
Batteries fully charged and when I close screen, sleeping indicator lights turns on...
I dont have time fixing this as I got to go back to Uni... dam Windows would be much easier...

Hello Holoon,
Now, when you say it won't turn on, do you mean it won't boot at all?
Because my MacBook sometimes will try to boot up, and then after like 2 sreconds it shuts back down. Now how I fix this problem is I have to hold down my power button until the light on the front starts blinking, then it will stop and a high pitch noise will come on for about five seconds, after that the laptop boots. It does boot in single core, which will make the laptop a little bit slower, but it will still run very smoothly.

My macbook wont turn on. its a total black out even the led light on the charger has no light. its a total blackout.
