What does it mean when my Mac won't turn on and it's charging low?

My MacBook suddenly just turned off and won't turn on anymore. There's just a blank screen and when I charge it, the green light is low.

Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

  • What does it mean when my iPhone won't turn on?

    My iPhone 4 has been messing up for the last couple of days.  It would turn off on its own & wouldn't turn back on again.  When I got it to turn on before, the screen would turn green & then would turn right back off. Now it won't even turn on. Is this a battery issue? I just got this phone about 2 months ago to replace an old one that shattered.

    I had an issue like that before on my iphone 3G green screen then it blacks out.. Try this if this fix will work for you..
    I plugged my iphone on the computer using the original apple cables for a couple of minutes 5-10 atleast, then long press the power button. and it turned back on.. it worked for me. back then. i dunno maybe you can try it.

  • What does it mean when my iphone is not turning on and it says 9/10

    please help me

    More than likely it means the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery and/or something else.

  • TS2310 what does it mean when you're about to install itunes and it says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later.??? i don't understand... Can someone please explain to me what that means...??? And how to fix it.

    1. It means exactly what it says. Apple dropped support for earlier Mac OS X versions in iTunes 10.7.
    2. Update the computer to 10.6.8. If it's running a Mac OS X version prior to 10.6, this requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

  • HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network?  You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
    If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
    If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad.  See if it now connects correctly.

    What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

  • What does it mean when the screen shows only the time and the play button

    what does it mean when i turn on my i-pod and it has a white screen and all it displays is the time and the play button cant get to the main screen to play music

    Is the hold switch in the on position?  Try resetting the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  The iPod may have simply locked up.

  • What does it mean when my MacBook makes a clicking sound, and when I turn it off and back on again all I get is a folder icon with a ? in it?

    My MacBook made a clicking sound.  I turned it off for 5 minutes, then restarted it.  Now all I get is a folder with a ? on it.  Is my battery fried?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'llsee a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • HT203261 What does it mean when I try to type an emoji and the it takes me straight home?

    When I try to type an emoji it just takes me straight home and won't let me use my emojis

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Restore from your back up is the fast and best solution. If that's not possible then: What version of iphoto? How to progress from here depends on that.

  • What does it mean when you send someone a text message and it shows a red check mark next to their message?

    The person I sent the message to has a different provider so they are not a Verizon member but for some random people I will send them a text message using my Verizon phone and it shows a red check mark next to the text message I sent them before they even reply. A few of the people that get this red check mark are not even Verizon users. So what is this red check mark and also why do some people I send text messages to get it but others don't?

    A red check means the text wasn't sent (maybe the number has been changed, they have texts blocked, there was a network problem).

  • TS1372 what does it mean when you cant restore your ipod nano and it gives you the code 1433 ?

    How do i fix it ?

    Some users have been able to resolve this issue by simply closing iTunes and re-opening it.  It might even be necessary to reboot your PC.
    Otherwise, reset the Nano with it still connected to a high powered USB 2.0 port on your PC and then try to restore it again.

  • What does it mean when your computer says that someone is using your IP address

    What does it mean when someone is using your IP address and what should i do...

    Expanding on Bob's explanation, be sure you haven't set a manual IP address, thus being the culprit for this problem. In System Preferences / Network / Advanced... / TCP/IP section, Configure IPv4 should be set to Using DHCP. If that is not the case, then some network miscreant has purloined the IP address your Mac was using.
    First try clicking on the Renew  DHCP Lease and see if the DHCP server figures it out and assigns a different address. Else, try disconnecting from the network (if on Wi-Fi, turn Wi-Fi off in the previous window, if cabled disconnect the patchcord), wait a little while and reconnect. Then hopefully the DHCP server will realize the address was purloined and assign a different one.
