My MBP died while it was updating and now it will boot up, but not stay on

I got the new MacBook Pro 13" for Christmas this year (2012).. The other day I was updating it and I guess it died because now it will show the Apple Logo boot up symbol and then it will just shut off.. What can I do? The nearest Apple Store is about 2 1/2 hours away and I have NO TIME to make it down there until next weeekend. Are there any suggestions for what I can do? Thank you all so much!

Your MBP shutting off is not a good sign. AS are not the only places that repair Macs. There may be an AASP that is closer.

Why would you do that when your phone is updating?
Your phone is in recovery mode If you can't update or restore your iOS device

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

My IMAC screen went to sleep and I have it set to enter a password upon waking it up. However, my bluetooth keyboard died while it was asleep and I replaced the batteries and tried to enter my password and it is not picking up my keyboard. What can I do?

I will not let me enter my password to get in and trouble shoot the keyboard. Please Help!!

I pushed in the button on the top right corner. It turns a green light on and then it goes off. I held it in until it started blinking. It blinks for a bit and then the green light turns off. I am still not able to type my password. What should I do now?

Hello there,

Try a force-restore:
1. Launch iTunes but do not connect the iPad.
2. Hold down the iPad's Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. This will force the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. KEEP holding the two buttons down until the screen goes black.
3. Once the screen is black, release the Sleep button but keep holding down the Home button while you plug the cable into the iPad. Contunue holding the Home button until the you see the iTunes logo and the picture of the cable on the screen. This may take up to 30 seconds.
4. iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a Restore.

Others are more likely to help if you stop needlessly repeating yourself and provide some details.
What operating system? Windows (XP, Vista, 7) Mac
Any errors?
Also, try doing a search either here or via Google, you are more likely to get a faster resolution as there is no need to wait on others to respond.

what can i do???

Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows: 
#Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. 
#Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)''' 
Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you following these instructions.
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Hello xtremejoe
I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

Firefox will not open on my computer the majority of the time. If I shut down and restart it will work sometimes, but not always. This started recently in the last two weeks. Today is June 12th 2011.

2009 iMac was overheating and now won't boot

I would post more info but I do not have it as the computer will not start.
It is an 21" iMac bought in 2010. I think around September just before the update came out.
It was overheating I noticed last week. ( i do not use this computer, my wife and children do or I would have noticed this sooner ).
3 days ago it decided not to boot up and only gives the spinning gears on the white screen.
I reset the pram, unplugged the power cord, all peripherals etc.. still no boot.
I did at one point get it to load up the recover I think it is called where you have the option to reinstall Lion and few other options.
I ran disk check, repaired the drive and tried to reboot. No luck.. same issue.
One thing when I did reset the PRAM I believe it was, the fan came on full speed and dust came flying out of the top of the iMac.
It did this while it was on and running the disk check. Once I rebooted the fan did not come back on.. or it is but on very quiet.
As I want to try to recover any files on the iMac I did not choose to reinstall LION yet.
I am not sure if it would do a new install or overwrite the existing and all files on the Hard Drive.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi pbx77,
I am experiencing exactly the same situation as yours now.
Mine is iMac 27" was bought around 2010 also.
It was overheating almost everyday for a few weeks, and today it just hang and after we turn it off it won't boot anymore and stuck at the apple logo with rotating wheel which does rotate.
Interestingly it will heat up very fast even when we wait for this screen only about 15-20 minutes.
What happened with yours and have you resolved it and how did you resolve it?
Was your hard drive and data okay?
Thanks!

Firefox will no longer start. Already updated, and now it will not start. Uninstalled, reinstalled (numerous times). Click the icon and nothing. Hour glass comes up for a second and then it is gone. Running XP ver 5.1 (service pack 3)

Firefox will no longer run on my computer. It's been working fine up until a few days ago. Installed the updates and now nothing. Uninstalled, reinstalled (numerous times). Click the icon and nothing. Hour glass comes up for a second and then it is gone. Running XP ver 5.1 (service pack 3) edit. I'm no techie so I have no clue what is causing this or what to do. I love firefox and miss it greatly. Anyone know what I can do to get it back?

Can you install a new profile? See [[Managing Profiles]] for me details and let us know if you need additional assistance.
