When I go to turn on my mac after i press the button it starts to beep and nothing else
nothing has happened to my computer to alarm me that something might have been wrong with it. So Im not sure might have happened to it when I tried to trun it on and it beeps very loudly and the small little power light on the front blinks. I have to hold the power button to get it to stop and I do this about three times before my computer will finally turn on.
Hello cupcakekisses,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your MacBook Pro. If you are hearing beeps, your Mac may need to be serviced:
If you hear beeps when your Mac starts up instead of the normal startup tone, your Mac may need to be serviced. To learn what the beeps mean, see the Apple Support articles below.

How to turn on the phone?
Have you tried resetting your iPhone?

I've just downloaded itunes 12 onto my pc. When I connect my IPod classic 160gb, it's name shows up briefly before the ipod silhouette at the top left simply greys out and nothing happens.
Please advise.I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -

My Mac pro notebook laptop - when i turn it on, it's just a lit up white screen - and nothing else is happening - it's just frozen. how do i fix it?
You may try the procedures in this support article. I suspect a trip to the Apple genius bar will be the best option. You probably have some hardware issues, such as the display or the GPU and the technicians will be to make to make a definitive determination.

How do i add a bluetooth device to my mac? There is no " +" button in my bluetooth preferences and turning the devices to discover mode doesn't work
The Bluetooth setup assistant should "find" a device in range when that device is turned on. What are you trying to add?

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?
Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
Open Console.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered. -
So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on and off the iPad when u open it and close it, but it's not turning on for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?what caused it to be this way? Is there someway that I could fix it?
Wait a sec did this just start?
You set up the smart cover function in settings (you did that, right?) so, if you did that and it's failed you make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar now. -
I live in a house with multiple iCloud users. When they try to turn on "Find my computer" they get the message that they will have to disable my "find my computer" setting in order to enable theirs. How can they all be enabled at the same time?

Hi. Today I was reinstalling the facebook app. While the app was loading I went on the AIM app. My Ipod, once on the AIM app, froze. I held the sleep/wake button for several seconds and it still did not lock or turn off. I then held the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for several seconds, and it finally did turn off. I waited about a minute and when I held in the power button for several seconds and all I got was the apple screen and then it had the picture that said plug into itunes. I plugged it in my computer and itunes opened. My Ipod still had the picture that said plug into itunes. Im very upset about this. I have an 8gb, 4g, 9 month old Ipod touch. No problems with it until now. My warranty expires in February of 2011. Is there anything I can do at home to fix this? I did go on the common problems page and tried it and my Ipod still did not work. I have an apple store about an hour away from me. Is it nessasary to go to the store? Anything I can do at home? I appreciate your time and answers.
Thank you,
MirandaThat happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

I have my Mac Book Pro with the OS Yesomite since a month and I am feeling that my mac is getting slower than before a month. I want to install OS Lion on my mac. I think i have a DVD of OS Lion which comes when i bougnt Mac laptop in 2011. Should i install OS Lion? What wil happen if i install OS Lion, do i lost my Applications or ...????
Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck Check out this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

I turned off my ipod and when i went to turn it back on again it showed the apple but thats all it shows. I can restart it by holding the power button and the home key but it never turns on.
Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.
