Turning Power on the Mac Has Problems

I would like to know if any one has exeperienced this problem where you turn off the power on your Mac and when you go to start it up, the Mac does not start back up. There is no chime, It just hangs there. I had it in the shop for 3 weeks. Apple people replaced the logic board and ram and a procesor. That was not the problem. When I got it back I had the same problems.
I leave the Mac on for a couple of days and shut it down. Go to turn it back on, no chime, no start u

I'd suggest you call Apple, politely inform them you've tried their way, it didn't work, and now you'd appreciate it if they would _come to your location_ and do one of the following:
1) Fix your Mac.
2) Replace your Mac.
It's only a phone call, and it might work. You have a very reasonable case to make. New Mac under warranty, serious failure, repair shop couldn't fix it.
If you do this, please report back and tell us whether Apple agrees.

my itunes need a update and i pluged in my ipod awhile doing the updat now my ipod won't turn on and the screen has a itunes ion on it what should i do? i really need the help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi Isaiah,
Your set up is not completely clear to me, in particular what kind of TV you have and how it connects to your MacBook Pro, but this article may give you some help with getting your computer to work with your TV for video -

I am running safari 7.0.6 with IOS 10.9.4. after the mac has been asleep and I log on I cannot open safari as it appears to have crashed. the workaround to this is to reboot the IOS and log back in after which safari will open.

I am running safari 7.0.6 with IOS 10.9.4. after the mac has been asleep and I log on I cannot open safari as it appears to have crashed. the workaround to this is to reboot the IOS and log back in after which safari will open. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the MacBook, and now I am always seeing it. How to remove it?

I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the macbook and now I am always seening it. I am seeing the blue vertical line always in the screen. However, I am not seeing this line when I open Word, Excel, PowerPoint files (without pictures). But I am seeing this line always when I see movies, pictures, and all the files which have pictures. Please do let me know how can I remove this vertical blue line (blue tint) pernamentally from the screen.

Backup your files to a external hard drive and disconnect.
Call Apple and make a warranty call, then take it to the nearest Apple Store etc.
You can run these things and it might clear your issue or give further informaiton
Perform a hardware check

Display Turns Black and Won't Wake Up Unless I Power Cycle the Mac mini

Even when I disable all the power settings on my Mac mini, after a day or 2 at max my Mac mini's display will go black and stay that way. Whether I connect to it using VNC Screen Sharing, or connect a monitor directly to it, I can't get the screen back on unless I either power cycle the computer, or otherwise SSH into it via the terminal on my MacBook and force it to log off that way. Any suggestions? Does this sound like a hardware problem, setting, or software problem? I notice that it happens most frequently when the CPU is being worked intensively, like if I'm downloading a lot of files with Vuze or otherwise doing heavy video conversions with iSkysoft iMedia Converter. I heard that maybe the Mac mini is overheating, but it's not stacked and lately I've tried moving it to several different locations but still the problem persists. I also notice that usually when I SSH into it via the terminal while the problems occur that my CPU usage will be way lower than it should be, since it might have happened during the onset of a long/heavy video conversion process. I have a Core 2 Duo, 2.2 GHz Processor with 4 GB of RAM and about 140 GB of available storage. What do you all think I should do?

couple of things you should try:
boot up in _*safe mode*_, the restart normally
try _*resetting the System Management Controller SMC*_
try _*resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM*_
if none of the above makes any difference, run _*Apple Hardware Test*_ from the install DVD that came with your Mac to see if it reports hardware problems.

I have considerable problems simply turning on. The mac attempts to turn on and then once the apple symbol is there is shuts off again.....any advise?

AS soon as I turn on the the mac, the apple start up screen is intitated and then it simply shuts off. I am not sure what to do.....any advise?

.. be sure the power adpater is supplying power to your Mac. Do you see the green LED on the magnetic plug? If not, the power cord could be disconnected at the adpater block.
.. next, reset the SMC for your Mac.
.. you can try to start your Mac in Recovery mode.. as you restart, press the "R" button until it boots. And go from there.

HT4528 My IPhone 4 will not turn on. The battery has charge in it, I used it once this morning and now less than 30 minutes later it won't turn on, completely dead.

I have an IPhone 4, its less than a year old. Without warning it won't turn on. I used it less than 30 minutes ago, the battery has charge in it, but the phone will not turn on. I tried connecting the charge lead but it still won't turn on.

Have you try to hard reset your phone? Holding both power and home button until the apple logo appears on screen.
Hope this advice may help you.

Website works on a mac, has problems on a pc

hello - i recently published a website and it looks fine on my mac but is not working on pc's. when the page loads on a pc, the page comes up for a split second how it looks on my mac - but then it snaps back to two main problems:
1. any image on a page will come up with the proper brightness and color and then after a moment will go to a dark version that is hard to read.
2. any font on a page will come up looking as it did when i laid it out, and then after a moment it will wrap and not be centered as i had designed it.
the website does this for each page. then once you go back to that page again it doesnt even show the original design for that split second. it just remembers the way the pc had adjusted it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
e.

e:
#1 - PCs are generally set to a gamma level of 2.2 which is darker than the Mac standard of 1.8. You can calibrate your monitor to set it at 2.2 and see if that looks anything like what you see on the PC.
#2 - are you using a web safe font?
Web Safe Fonts
Common fonts to all versions of Windows & Mac equivalents
Safe web fonts
Make sure you've upgraded to iWeb 2.0.4, make a minor change to each page and do a Publish All to MobileMe. Try the PC again. As for the darkness, see if other PCs are as dark. What version of IE is on the PC? I hear that IE 7 is more compatible with iWeb sites than previous versions. You can see what your site looks to different browsers at this site: http://browsershots.org/ or this site: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/

One Z10 works fine, the other has problems connecting to mobile network

Hi, my wife and I both have Z10's, and we're both on the same mobile network (Wind Mobile in Canada). The wife's Z10 seems to have no problems connecting to or staying connected to Wind Mobile. Mine on the other hand seems to randomly drop the connection, or has trouble obtaining connection, and sometimes ends up roaming.
The only difference between the two Z10's is that hers is purchased through Wind Mobile itself, and it is locked to their network for the moment. I purchased mine a bit later, and I bought mine directly through Blackberry's online store, and mine is therefore unlocked. What I have to do sometimes is turn off the mobile connection, and turn it back on, and it works after I do that. However, that's annoying, as I'd rather have it automatically retry the network connection so that it doesn't go roaming within my own city.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you're passing by a Wind store in the near future, why not drop in and ask if they'll swap SIM cards for you? It could be something with the SIM.
In the meantime, try resetting your phone. This is equivalent to doing a battery pull and it's usually the first thing I recommend when troubleshooting an issue. Simply press and hold your power button for about 15 seconds until you see BlackBerry on your screen. Don't release the button before that and ignore anything that appears before BlackBerry.
Let us know if either of those solutions helps you.

I bought a macbook pro in boston on October 25th, can I exchange it for the Macbook pro with retina. It has not been turned on - only the box has been opened.

I've never turned on my new macbook pro but I want to exchange it for the new Macbook pro with retina display. Is this possible. I have the receipt. Box was opened.

No - you have 14 days from date of purchase to exchange or get a refund. That should have been on your receipt somewhere.
I'm afraid that you're just going to have to sell your computer, somehow, and put that money towards a new one.
Why in the world did you buy what you didn't want?

Execute the procedure has problem

Hi all,
I have the store procedure defined as
vn_trunc_data (name varchar(32), version integer);
I ran the command as below in sqlplus but I got the error message
execute vn_trunc_data('test', 1);
error message is ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error ORA-06512: at line 1
Is the execute statement thas the correct syntax. Please help.
DP

Hi,
You have to check the assignment (of the variable 'version') inside the procedure.
Check the following...
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error string
Cause: An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error occurred. For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 99 to a variable declared NUMBER(2).
Action: Change the data, how it is manipulated, or how it is declared so that values do not violate constraints.
cheers.

Why does my macbook only turn on when the power adapter is plugged in?

The battery life says its at 73% and climbing but whenever I unplug my power adapter the mac automatically shuts down and if I try to turn on the macbook without my power adapter plugged in, it wont turn on. How do I make it go back to where I can turn the mac on without it being plugged in? Thank you for your help!

I would try two things the first being resetting the System Management Controller:
1) If the computer is on, turn it off.
2) Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
3) Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
4) Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
5) Press the Power button to restart the computer.
If that doesn't work I would recalibrate the battery.
To calibrate the battery:
1) Plug in the MagSafe power adapter and fully charge the MacBook or MacBook Pro battery until the light on the MagSafe connector changes to green and the Battery icon in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
2) Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours or longer. You may use your computer during this time as long as the power adapter is plugged in.
3) Disconnect the power adapter with the computer on and start using it with battery power. When the battery's charge gets low, you’ll see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.
4) Continue to keep your computer turned on until it goes to sleep. Save your work and close all applications when the battery's charge gets low and before the computer goes to sleep.
5) Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
6) Reconnect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged. You may use your computer during this time.
