  • My ipod 4g has a frozen white screen and will not turn off, any advice?

    My daughter's ipod 4th gen (only 4 months old, bought direct from Apple) suddenly has a frozen white screen and will not turn off. We cannot reboot it by pushing and holding the two buttons, even when held up to one full minute. When we plug it into the computer, the computer does not recognise it nor does iTunes, so we can't even do a full system restore. Help! Any suggestions of how we can reset to factory settings without using iTunes please?

    - Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try :
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My mac will not turn on.. help please!

    my mac will not turn on with the power button.  is there another way to override and turn it on?
    did a software update early this morning (around 1 or 2 am).... on safari for a while.... closed all programs.
    shut computer down via menu.
    went to turn on around 11 am today... and absolutely nothing.
    have unplugged and re-plugged power cord...
    hoping for help b/4 i go into panic attack.
    thanks all!!!

    just hoping there is some way to override the power button.
    perhaps combining a number of keys on the keyboard or something magical.
    i have an appt with the genius bar tonight... but desperate for an immediate solution.
    thanks for reading.

  • My Mac will not turn on after being on vacation:(

    we have been on vacation and now our Mac will not turn on? The power is good that if is plugged into. Will not power on at all:(

    I would go straight to 5. Reset the SMC. If all else fails, bring it in, the PRAM battery may need to be replaced.

  • Macbook Pro died and will not turn on any longer

    I am hoping someone can give me some insight into what has happened with my Macbook.
    I have a 2008 17" Macbook Pro A1261. The other day I was working on battery life and noticed it was about to drain, so I plugged in my adapter. The adapter was not lighting up and I assumed that it had just stopped working. My Macbook is completely dead at this point. I bought another adapter (the newer L shaped ones) and when I plug it in the light comes on green but does not change colour to amber. When I try to power my mac on it does not come on with the battery in or removed.
    I have tried an SMC reset, holding shift, etc. and nothing has worked thus far. My issue is that how can my macbook all of a sudden just "die" when it was working PERFECTLY fine before the battery drained? I assumed buying another adapter would fix the issue.
    Could this simply be because my macbook does not yet have the firmware installed for the new L shaped adapter? If so what steps can I take to install the firmware? I know it is not the magsafe adapter because I have tried two others with no luck.
    Please help!

    Hi all, I finally took my macbook into the apple store and met with a genius. I am really not satisfied at all and I will explain why.
    My macbook was working fine until the battery died, it was powered on and functioning etc. and it was just my cord that had the issue (until the battery drained completely). I have seen a lot of posts about macbooks just not turning on until the battery that has died is charged and inserted.
    The day of the appointment I took another look at my macbook after leaving it idle for a few days. At this point, the battery has actually expanded and broke out of it's original case. This happened while the battery was drained and the macbook was off and unplugged. From what I have read, this happens all the time with these batteries and there was a program put in place to replace them at one point?
    When I got to the apple store, I explained my situation (cord did not light/charge macbook, then macbook battery drains and now it will not turn on) and the tech basically told me that it is for sure the top case and the power button just "doesn't work", so I will need to spend $200 to replace the top case and then they "can go from there". He said it is either the top case or the logic board. I asked him why the logic board just mysteriously "broke" when the battery died. He told me that "these things start in one spot and spread like a cold". I am really disappointed in the service I got from them, he literally asked three questions and then said it is the top case and the logic board and that I need to buy both. It didn't give me any more confidence that this guy was 25 years old wearing a fitted hat at work (like a NY hat or something, and I hate to stereotype but he lived up to it unfortunately).
    Also, he made it seem like I needed to pay for the top case first before they would spend any time even looking at my macbook to see what is wrong.. is this correct? You need to purchase a part or they won't open your computer?
    Disappointment aside, I believe my next step is to obtain a fully charged battery and use that to start my macbook. I will post what happens if I can find a charged battery. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

  • HT3964 hi if my mac will not turn on, have unplugged, removed the battery, did control option and esc still to no avail help please

    If a macbook pro will not turn on, the screen is black, have unplugged, removed the battery, have done command option and esc to no avail, also once battery was removed held down the power button for 5 seconds still no working screen,.  However when not  plugged in the green light appears on the bottom front  of the computer  and it stays green  after a few minutes it stays green then goes out. Help!!  .

    In that case, the computer is dead, probably with a logic board problem. Take the Mac to an Apple Store to get your computer diagnosed and repaired
